I Spent 100 Days in Minecraft's Oldest Version

People nowadays don't know how good they have it when it comes to crafting glowstone blocks - it took 9 dust to craft a single block in Alpha... and mining glowstone only dropped 1 dust!! SO frustrating

Builds in early minecraft versions look very very cozy. I think thats because of the simplicity of minecraft back then, you didny have many options to choose what you wanna build with, and the alpha lighting also does a ton of work to make it look nostalgic

I feel like the extra legwork to build in older minecraft versions is what makes it so satisfying and rewarding to see to completion. I can get sucked into playing Beta or Alpha for so long despite how much less there is to do. You have a much more restricted palette of blocks and yet in some ways it's so freeing. Good vid.

Seeing retro Minecraft really brings me back the good old days…

Hearing the old minecraft music really brings a tear to the eye.

26:55 I couldn't agree more; I hope more YouTuber's play the older versions of Minecraft and make it a new trend. I've spent 100 days in my own Alpha world and it's the most fun I've had playing in Minecraft in over a decade

6:15 the cow's mouth has a sheep inside it

One memory I will never forget about old mc is that I cried over a creeper blowing up my lapis block 😭 I was very scared of mining because of mobs, so I could never get diamonds. I put a lapis block in my house, pretending it was a diamond block and put two stairs near it to serve as a table. I somehow allowed a creeper to get in my house, the house was in ruins and my special lapis block was gone 😅😭

Do you remember you could place ladder every 2 blocks instead of 1 by 1 ?

Damn, that castle made out of 5 block types looks better than my 1.19 house 😩

Wasn’t every one obsessed with the modern house idea back then?

Not posting on the internet for 1 year is like not posting for 1 decade

Dude, it’s crazy looking at the old Minecraft, it’s like the memories are slowly fading away from my mind 😭

As much as I love Minecraft now, this was the best game ever. You really had to get creative with the 5 world slots and very, VERY few blocks, and yet it went famous because of how fun it was. Pros and cons, but I prefer alpha and beta over modern day craft. My earliest memories of mc are me climbing up my bunk bed with MCPE on my iPad and dying to a spider while cozied up in a lil' blankie. And, it's kinda weird that Minecraft now, while having things like terracotta and more types of stone, just doesn't feel as good or realistic as original mc. Minecraft has always taught me to follow my own objectives in life. There is no ender dragon of your life, but you can set your sights as high as they need to be. Meet new people with cool skins, make houses together, get rich. Anything and everything I just said can be done with less than 100 blocks and some free time. Again, Minecraft nowadays is still crazy fun, but It's somehow less realistic than old Minecraft, and holds much less nostalgia then me getting dogged on by a Yoda skin on Xbox 360.

This is seriously one of the best Minecraft videos on YouTube. You literally have me in stitches with your commentary!

this was golden versions back then. early 2010s revolutionary era of gaming. 1 man. 1 game. 1 community.

First time watching one of your videos -- really enjoyed this! It's fun seeing the update progressions.

I always get nostalgic seeing people play alpha minecraft even tho I always played bedrock on a mobile device

Haven't watched those types of videos for a long time. This one's fantastic.

28:10 ok, you need a hug.
