Yeah I always much preferred the building aspect of minecraft. When I play newer versions I find myself getting distracted by all the side quests/ myriad of blocks available. Alpha/ beta MC caters to my preferences perfectly.
@@kajk5477 you just made me realize what’s so appealing about alpha to me. I have a bad tendency to succumb to “bigger is better” mindsets when playing games so I want the newest versions with all the dlc etc etc. I realize that the limits are what drove my desire to come up with things to do rather than look for things that are put in place for me to do. I even realized this when going back to modern vanilla in its relative simplicity after playing solely modded for years when i first “fell off” of minecraft. Good times, I miss when it really felt like “let’s do this” instead of “oh man what do I do”
@@deliwtz i absolutely love the new minecraft but alpha and beta was so simple this is what i liked about when i was a kid, as a kid the small things mattered the most yknow. i dont think minecraft fell off its just a different game and its obvious that some people will prefer the way that it was
first time i used lava in a build was when i filled up a moat around my wooden 'castle'. came back from caving and of course it was burnt to the ground.
The old alpha Minecraft gave me chills because of the fog, the old authentic textures of the game, items and blocks limitations that forces you use your creativity, the music playing in background, and so much good old memories from childhood, this makes me feel comfy. A true Chad experience...
I feel so old... I remember the breathtaking veiws How C418 music still played in title menu Watching the Yogscast *when minecraft didn't take ages to load.* When wool was more colorful When the game was fresh out of the oven and people were discovering it. When getting diamonds were exciting. *those cave noises that scared us when we were kids.* When the *ouh* sound played (2009-2011) We all were having... fun. Thank you so much. I needed this.
You're not the only one... Good lord I'm 11 years older than what I was when I found the game. Granted, I'm only 15, so the concept of "old" is still just a concept. But still.
Started crying when the music came in, every world I've ever made has been lost because I've changed computers or just deleted them. Only thing that ever stayed the same was the music, and in such a simple game (at least simple back then) it was the nicest touch to a game that never limited my creativity. Which is still one of my biggest problems. I can't thank this game enough for providing a non-toxic online platform to have fun, especially in reflection to today's standards of 'safe' online environment.
It didn't feel like a sandbox anymore after beta 1.8. I can make a world now on the current update and only care about it for an hour. If I made an alpha/early beta world, I would be dedicated to it. It's crazy how when you play old games you used to play when you were younger it not only brings nostalgia, but it also makes you desire to feel like a kid again when you build that cool incinerator.
Yeah, beta 1.7 was probably the last version of minecraft closest to the alphas. i remember all of the new adventure maps coming out after the piston update. Minecraft was truly a lot more about building creatively back then, with a dash of adventure mixed in. Nothing against modern Minecraft. But it's just different.
I love the old look of minecraft. Reminds me of the version I would always play on the xbox 360. So many memories watching youtubers back in the day. Nice world.
Yeah true. I got to play at a friends house, then I downloaded the demo on my 360. I played that demo so many times, restarting every 10 minutes or so because of time limit. Made me learn how to dupe items. Something about breaking a furnace.
early minecraft and its limited block variety encourage more creativity and imagination on part of the player, hence creating a better player experience, making people *want* to build, instead of looking for incredibly specific blocks to match a desired aesthetic
The old gem blocks texture... and everyone had to have a cactus farm of course! There's something about the old aesthetic of minecraft that just feels so... authentic! Thanks for sharing :)
yo thanks man. I'll think I'll upgrade this world to beta 1.7.3 but of course keep the alpha textures intact. when designing my base I always think about what I would want my real life super base to look like; inevitably it involves huge dark cavernous rooms filled with lava or faint light trickling in, but that's just me :o
Wow, this just screams nostalgia. The old glass texture. The solid textured leaves. Old grass. Man, I'd give anything to experience Minecraft for the first time again back in 2010-2011 :/
@@owainthoma3945 I remember when lapis was first added. Got all excited it would do something cool. Lost my house but rebuilt again and got comfy and happy. i miss those times
If there's anything I miss most about the alpha builds/the early infdev builds, it's hands down the complete and utter darkness once night has fallen, or when spelunking without torches. It made coal a resource you constantly needed to find and collect. Whenever I play nowadays, I always have a hardcore darkness mod installed to try and capture that old feeling of, "Oh shit, the sun is setting."
I was 5 years old when alpha came out, I remember watching so many videos on Minecraft Alpha, this was so nostalgic for me, and i'm sure for many others. I remember the time vividly, oh where did the time go.
I think this Minecraft, and the one we have now, are...like two different games entirely. It's really cool. I liked beta, it was simple, the sounds were quite satisfying and impactful, and it doesn't feel so, noisy and crowded.
I got minecraft in 8th grade for christmas 2010 after watching x's adventures in minecraft and begging my parents for months to get it. the memories i have of playing minecraft throughout early beta with my friends will be memories ill cherish forever. this video brings back so much nostalgia, especially the ladder spaced out by 1 block, thats a classic strat
i remember when i was 7 seeing my brother playing minecraft and create a new world it was like the most epic thing i could ever seen, years pass by and i love those memories with my friends and family playing minecraft, there will be a special space in my heart.
I miss the time i met minecraft, (it was around 2013) i was hanging at my friend house and he decided to play it with us, i didn't got the chance to play that time but after years, i met piracy and managed to play it for the first time (2016). Listening to minecraft music nowadays hits me both nostalgicly and sad at the same time.
i joined in 1.14 :/ but knew about it before and 2:44 for some weird reason i feel nostalgia too, even if i joined pretty late.. the whole video with the music just gives me nostalgia, of my first minecraft world.. even if i just joined in 1.14
@@kajk5477 1.12 is insanely nostalgic! It's when some of the craziest old mods came into the picture, iirc it's when Crazycraft was last ever really kept up to date too.
having started in the 1.16's, i just dont know why i feel a strong sense of nostalgia for a game i just bare even played. those 10 years of the people who played minecraft by far has the best life having been able to see the evolution of such games. having only 2 years of experience i feel like i m a worthless player. this nostalgia makes me cry whenever i see such video. have sub bro. first time i cried for a reason and not for being beated up.
I recall looking through some old maps on planetminecraft, and by god this video immediately reminded me of some of the building techniques I saw in those old maps. Like the chests at 2:14, I saw a massive storage room filled with seemingly nonsense with chests all in that staircase pattern. That was something that instantly stood out to me in this video, and just isn't something you see anymore. Makes me want to see a video analyzing minecraft architecture over-time. Compare block usage and diversity from alpha to modern-times.
I read the title and expected to see modern building techniques and styles only just in Alpha. I was pleasantly suprised to see you perfect captured the spirit of these earlier versions. Back then you really had to be creative with whatever you built and to me, builds had more significance to the player and better represented what kind of player you are. Still love modern MC but Notch's vision sure was special. Early minecraft always has a place in my heart, 12 years later
Alpha always had this charm to it that all the other versions of Minecraft seemed to lack, with the brightly saturated colors, I was absolutely enthralled by this game when I was 7 years old.
Hard to really explain how I feel about this game but this video single-handedly recreated the feeling I had as a kid. This game has become a shell of its former self, it's simplicity is what made it so good, seeing it flooded with microtransactions and all these new items and stuff isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just doesn't feel like Minecraft. I find myself playing the game less and less, but nothing will ever make me love the game any less. Once the music kicked on at 1:29 I just sat in my chair at my desk, thinking about how good things used to be. A game to me that cannot be rewritten or replaced.
I started playing in Beta 1.1 after the bright green grass and trees stopped being a thing. Before then, I watched people like SeaNanners play Alpha versions of the game. You can look at modern releases and it's undeniably Minecraft, but it feels so far detached from what Minecraft originally was. Those older versions had an unmatched presence. The community was small, but passionate, and updates felt more impactful. Minecraft today is far more advanced and has so much more content, but it can't compare to the memories of what it was. Minecraft isn't a bad game by any means, but us veterans are often thinking of what Minecraft used to be before when we play it today.
after years playing the versions of the game distributed by AnjoCaido when i was a kid, and more time playing a 2012 version of the game (until last week to be more precise), i finally bought the official version with the money from my first job. I spawned in a new world and made a hobbit hole as my base. when i went fishing for salmon and cod, something i thought was going to be super chill, i was attacked by those new drowned zombies with that throwing thingy. no armour on, as it was my second day. after almost being killed i spotted a turtle. then a fox. then a parrot. then a dolphin. then i noticed there were a ton of new blocks, lush caves and massive caves. and as weird as it sounds, i felt intimidated by the game. i didn't know what anything did, i didn't know how to explore, and i felt like my hobbit hole was not pretty enough. idk, i'm enjoying the game, but for the first time e was ""scared"" to play, scared to build something ""wrong", to miss a one in a million drop bc i dont know what it does, scared to mess up. the game, at least for me, went from being something relaxing to a game where you need to build the craziest buildings, the most efficient item farms, use every different block etc etc. but it is still fun tho ps.: i was AMAZED by the new lush caves, they look soooo good (and intimidating too)
The sad part is if I tried to go back to Alpha, I can't recreate my old sensibilities, part of the charm of the older versions was the simplicity, nobody was trying to make super complex builds, but if I tried to play again I know I would push Alpha to it's limits in terms of design and make complex stuff. Would be cool to do Alpha builds with modern building sensibilities (even with the limited selection of blocks), but it would miss the charm of the simple stuff
God nothing better than lava behind glass in old builds. Makes me nostalgic for when I'd watch my brother play on his Xbox with his crazy weird builds. I still remember seeing those old towers of glowstone in his world.... I love modern MC, but the old versions have that special charm and atmosphere that the modern versions can't begin to compare to.
@@kajk5477 absolutely. While it looks a lot worse in places like the Nether where it's far away and just a massive expanse of eye bleeding orange, when in pools and streams it's so much prettier!
this makes me super nostalgic of when i first played minecraft on the phone. I played it with my sister around the time that herobrine became populair. I wished i could recover my old worlds from those times and visit them again and relive all my old memories.
Great memories. I first played Minecraft through the PC Gamer demo, which was a modified build of Java Edition Beta 1.3 (2011). Has anyone else touched that relic?
I really love the way Alpha looks. Something about the textures just makes it very distinct from modern Minecraft. Even to this day I like to use smooth stone in my builds as it's one of the few blocks that has survived mostly unchanged from these ancient versions.
I genuinely miss the older versions of Minecraft. I can't fully articulate it yet, but it seemed so much more robust. I'm not one to give in to nostalgia, but newer versions just feel so lifeless, cold even. With how the world was, it truly felt like you were exploring an alien world, with literally anything and everything to discover. Sure, we may have more features now, but every update in the past few years has stripped the heart and soul from Minecraft and what was once a unique and creative experience is just a dull, manufactory simulator 2k25. Adding hunger was probably the point where Minecraft really began losing it's vision, and it kills me how people don't recognise it. That, or their too young to remember. I miss Minecraft. The true Minecraft.
Very well said. Exactly, the adventure update including features like hunger was the first big departure from classic minecraft, and the time when the decline in game quality started. Of course that's up for debate; some people like the more action-oriented aspects of minecraft but I much prefer the simplicity and creativity that beta1.7.3 and earlier versions encouraged.
Old mc was the best, such a simple game about building and survival. Modern Minecraft barely resembles the original game. Heck, sometimes it even feels more like I'm playing modded Minecraft when I play the new game.
@@kajk5477 I'd argue some of the newer things are amazing, but it DOES feel like a whole different game. I'm glad it's still getting updates though, it woulda died fast if it weren't being continuously worked on like it is
The very first version of mineccraft I remember playing was release 1.3.2 in 2012. Something about the alpha textures and no smooth lighting feels very cozy, however.
THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is Minecraft! And with quite a bit of diamonds, wow. I love this. And I am glad that new videos from old versions are being made. And to serenade this peacefully epic tour, Mice On Venus, by the one and only C418... Lovely....
i always prefered beta 1.8.1 and 1.2.5 simply because the amount of mods that came out then, was the time i started playing MC aswell as the time mods like build craft came out, you made your own gameplay with mods and it felt so nostalgic
Something so eerie about seeing a "2021 Tour" of Alpha, feels almost illegal to even be playing Alpha, like you are time travelling in a way back to a simpler time.
There's a reason why one of the only versions of Minecraft I play is 1.2.5. First it gives the simplicity and wonder of what the world used to be back when i was a young kid. Second, without the feel of completionism it makes for just another exploration and building game. Just like it always should have been. Don't get me wrong, the updates these days are dope but I sense a great discourse sometimes with the community and the devs at Microsoft and Mojang. Trying to fill an agenda rather than listen to the community about real problems in the game world.
Something about the lighting in the old versions just appeals way more to me than the lighting in the newer versions, I don't really know what though And cobblestone + wood + glass + stone slabs is peak base design, they can add as many blocks as they want, the combination of these blocks is just too comforting
thank you. i love this world. i use my VR headset in minecraft and sit in the darkness of my underground cavern, just with a hint of distant light radiating from the lava pool
Captures the genuine essence of minecraft before it became an adventure game

Sure, we may have more features now, but every update in the past few years has stripped the heart and soul from Minecraft and what was once a unique and creative experience is just a dull, manufactory simulator 2k25. Adding hunger was probably the point where Minecraft really began losing it's vision, and it kills me how people don't recognise it. That, or their too young to remember.
I miss Minecraft. The true Minecraft.
Very well said. Exactly, the adventure update including features like hunger was the first big departure from classic minecraft, and the time when the decline in game quality started. Of course that's up for debate; some people like the more action-oriented aspects of minecraft but I much prefer the simplicity and creativity that beta1.7.3 and earlier versions encouraged.
Damn, i didnt expect a minecraft world tour to make me emotional lol
I am now preparing to make a new world that I’m going be working on for a year…thanks man for this…you got me occupied
Your base is so satisfying to look at. I love how functional it is with the limited block options
Old mc was the best, such a simple game about building and survival. Modern Minecraft barely resembles the original game. Heck, sometimes it even feels more like I'm playing modded Minecraft when I play the new game.
Yeah exactly it totally feels modded. And like, not even good mods lol
@@kajk5477 I'd argue some of the newer things are amazing, but it DOES feel like a whole different game. I'm glad it's still getting updates though, it woulda died fast if it weren't being continuously worked on like it is
@@exist4046 true! many people dont realise a game needs updates to stay afloat.
thank you for the memories.
The very first version of mineccraft I remember playing was release 1.3.2 in 2012. Something about the alpha textures and no smooth lighting feels very cozy, however.
I created my first Minecraft world in the 2012, I still remember how it all looked like... I would love to go back into the past...
This is truly beautiful.
Damn this just reminds me so much of the original Etho Let's Play.
W mans for going back in time to give us this
THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is Minecraft!
And with quite a bit of diamonds, wow.
I love this. And I am glad that new videos from old versions are being made.
And to serenade this peacefully epic tour, Mice On Venus, by the one and only C418... Lovely....
i always prefered beta 1.8.1 and 1.2.5 simply because the amount of mods that came out then, was the time i started playing MC aswell as the time mods like build craft came out, you made your own gameplay with mods and it felt so nostalgic
The amount of love that i have for this game
Something so eerie about seeing a "2021 Tour" of Alpha, feels almost illegal to even be playing Alpha, like you are time travelling in a way back to a simpler time.
Love when TH-cam blesses me with these gems!
Honored to have my video called a gem!
It's something magic in this lightning
The game today is completely alien to me. Miss the early days.
the world generation in old minecraft was just estonishing like if the game knew where to place a perfect house
the sounds... god i miss this time.
this is my first minecraft version ever and one of my favorites next to Beta 1.7.2
I cried. 10/10 base
I miss that u cant really dig out large rooms anymore, without hitting a cave every 2 seconds
There's a reason why one of the only versions of Minecraft I play is 1.2.5. First it gives the simplicity and wonder of what the world used to be back when i was a young kid. Second, without the feel of completionism it makes for just another exploration and building game. Just like it always should have been. Don't get me wrong, the updates these days are dope but I sense a great discourse sometimes with the community and the devs at Microsoft and Mojang. Trying to fill an agenda rather than listen to the community about real problems in the game world.
man minecraft was goated back in the day
I have videos of the alpha version on my channel and for me alpha is the best
Nice video bro
I still keep building with the alpha minecraft aesthetic.
I miss the old textures. this has inspired me to make a world on the oldest version the launcher will let me.
so much more vibrant and minecraft like
man the atmosphere was so different
it's so peaceful
We can play Minecraft anytime, but not with the memories
this is what Minecraft is about man! the simple things.
Makes me wanna go back and make my own world
that world better not be gone,looks amazing for an alpha world
The old Iron Block textures 😭
That lava stone basement was awesome
Love to hear it. Took me ages to hollow out - back when there were no enchantments..
the graphics and terrain generation was so much better back then
Something about the lighting in the old versions just appeals way more to me than the lighting in the newer versions, I don't really know what though
And cobblestone + wood + glass + stone slabs is peak base design, they can add as many blocks as they want, the combination of these blocks is just too comforting
A simpler and warmer time
That is awesome dude.
thank you. i love this world. i use my VR headset in minecraft and sit in the darkness of my underground cavern, just with a hint of distant light radiating from the lava pool
looks astonishing
Nostolgea
That is correct.
