actually the alternative definition of "petrified" is "(of organic matter) changed into a stony substance" but it's pretty funny if you use the other definition
It'd be so cool if Petrified Slabs were included in Deepdark chests as EXTREMELY rare loot. It would tie in to the "petrified" aspect due to the location and the ancient nature of the setting.
yea I mean, in 1 year Minecraft got an entirely new health and hunger system, a brand-new enchanting feature and suddenly the game had an actual end now, so 2011 was a pretty game-changing year, I guess
@worm does content i’ve been playing minecraft for around 7 years as well and i’ve never even seen a stronghold not including youtube videos. i’ve just been too lazy to go
1:50 Back then there also was only one type of wooden plank in the game (oak wood). Spruce logs and birch logs also just gave you oak planks (which were just named "wooden planks" back then). Different types of planks were added in full version 1.2 as far as I remember (the same update were jungle wood was added).
I'm trying to remember... I think this game came out while I was in 2nd, 3rd grade? My dad got it right when it was first being released and talked about, so I grew up with it as long as I can remember. I'm 20 now... Feels whack. I used to get bullied for talking about this game so much haha Now it's so popular, I'm happy for this generation
In the early days they put wood and stone variants under the same ID, but later they made separate IDs for every color of shulker box for no reason at all.
don't shulker boxes need the data values to store information about the items inside of them? That's why tools don't use data values for different variants of tools, they need the data values for the damage of the tool.
Ah, what a nice nostalgia trip, haven't been too much in creative lately or played on any old worlds, so it's nice to see that the old "wood" slabs still live on as petrified wood.
Hell, I actually started playing in Beta 1.3_01, the exact same version shown in the video. I still have my very first Minecraft world in multiple copies saved on my drive, along with many old mods and other junk files.
I love watching videos like these because it gives me a petty sense of superiority. Like “yeah I knew that, isn’t it common knowledge?” Even though it’s totally reasonable people might not know it with how the game keeps growing
Man, I remember the old ID system was pain. I barely understood it but I remember it made modding a pain. And there also was limited amount of ID's, so mods had to take that into account.
another thing to note: the ID for slabs was 126 and very far apart from stone slabs (44) because the IDs were chosen in order of implementation. that means that you can pretty much tell the history of which blocks had shown up over time based on their old IDs (which implies that grass was added before dirt for instance, which is in fact the case in the earliest builds of the game)

I remember when I downloaded maps made for old versions of Minecraft and every slab transformed into the petrified one. This is most likely an error handler, and a very creative one indeed
actually i think petrified slabs were just mojang throwing the pre-1.3 players a bone; "alpha leaves" (obtained by silk touching player-placed spruce, birch, or jungle leaves prior to 1.4.6) simply turned into oak leaves in 1.13
I haven't really messed around with creative mode since 1.12, so I had no idea petrified wood was even a thing. I just assumed they fixed the wood slab "glitch" and called it a day. I think it's really neat that this relic of classic minecraft can still be found in the game.

I always wondered why wood slabs needed a pickaxe to break efficiently. That was back in 2012 or so. Sometimes I still try to use my pickaxe before I remember it was changed.
Tfw you and Minecraft go back so far you remember always breaking slabs with pickaxes. It was revolutionary when I went to break a slab one day after an update and realized I had to use an axe now.
I feel like Mojang just adding a different block and making the original unobtainable was just an example of developmental laziness more than anything else.
I have been playing Minecraft on and off since before the release and I still find random golden tidbits of information like this that I had no idea about. Which one of the reasons I love Minecraft. You can never know everything about the game, it is just that large

Thanks for putting in the music at the end :)
The fact that SalC1 still interacts with his comments at almost 600k subs means the world to me
its such a shame that alpha leaves werent given a new name in 1.13. Dead Oak Leaves would have been a perfect name for them
i played alpha and was so confused when it took 8 years to mine with an axe
wow, didn't expect to learn anything new today but i was wrong. thanks for sharing this!
I always wondered why wood slabs needed a pickaxe to break efficiently. That was back in 2012 or so. Sometimes I still try to use my pickaxe before I remember it was changed.
same
I remember in Minecraft Console Edition I would build houses made of wooden slabs because it wouldn't burn.
I knew this was gonna be about the petrified oak slab but I had no idea it went this far. Amazing
This video was one of the best stories i've ever heard/watched☺☺
Ahh, I remember the days when it was strange to mine wooden slabs using a pickaxe and not an axe.
I would say this is a "step up" from previous videos. :v
Tfw you and Minecraft go back so far you remember always breaking slabs with pickaxes.
It was revolutionary when I went to break a slab one day after an update and realized I had to use an axe now.
This change is a core memory of my Minecraft experience and Idk why

The real stone slab were the friends we made along the way
I feel like Mojang just adding a different block and making the original unobtainable was just an example of developmental laziness more than anything else.
I have been playing Minecraft on and off since before the release and I still find random golden tidbits of information like this that I had no idea about.
Which one of the reasons I love Minecraft. You can never know everything about the game, it is just that large
Hey I remember that! In the old pocket edition, I remember figuring out that wood slabs had to be mined with a pick and not an axe.
The more you know *Iconic music*
A truly beautiful tale
You have to love that guild wars music though, nice choice!
