As a former Pocket Edition player this video was kind of "Huh that's interesting" for the first 10 minutes and then when you caught up to the updates I remembered it was just this big wave of nostalgia.
Yeaah same! I remembered how excited I waited for the sunset in 0.7.3, it was truly beautiful. I loved to play 0.8.1, there is just something about making the best out of that tiny world.
Me too! I remember not knowing how to check the update logs so after every update I would go through the entire creative inventory to see if anything was added.
Honestly the most surprising thing for me was that 10 year old me didn’t know how early I jumped on the bandwagon playing 0.1.2 before survival mode existed
Yup! A wave of nostalgia hit me when he talked about minecarts and rails being added to the game. I remember my mom letting me play on her phone, saying that she had to update the game, and excitedly spending an hour or 2 making the sickest roller coaster I could
I remember playing MCPE _reaaally_ early on. I still can't exactly pinpoint the version, but I remember it was before the local server multiplayer was added, ice didn't exist in creative inventory, and of course there was the nether reactor and noninfinite worlds. TNT didn't even explode yet, and I don't even think most of the tree variants were in yet. I only really played in creative, just derping around, but it was certainly quite the experience either way and I somehow have nostalgia for that weird, janky gameplay that used to exist...
I remember the really early versions as well, I had the lite version for a while and when I bought the full version I was super excited to unlock crafting and more mobs than just zombies lol
Earliest thing I remember is Endermen being added, just because my cousin spammed them on one of her worlds and they tore it apart because they still picked up everything
This puts a lot more perspective on why bedrock & java aren’t the same. I can’t stop thinking about how things worked on previous console ports that seemed way closer to java due to how 4J Studios ported them.
@@LNP618 No its not. I have been a Java player since 1.03. Ive also been a bedrock player since it came out. They are not even close to matching the gameplay of Java in my opinion with the bedrock platform.
@@LNP618 Agree lol, maybe in 2011 they were completely different but now they’re literally the exact same thing.... Although bedrock still NEEDS ocean ambiance.
@@nocturnaliism true true, also I think spectator mode is possible to create in bedrock cuz I've seen alot of servers doing it like cubecraft, hive, ect
some stuff I remember about pocket edition: -on pocket edition you spawned in with a random assortment of blocks in your hotbar -powered rails didn't need to be powered -nether reactor -stonecutter having a use before getting removed -horses getting added was for some reason my favorite update until like a year ago and I don't know why
i remember when the second one was removed, it took me sooo long to get all of my rail networks working again edit: actually i remember all of these bar the first.
everyone thought that the horse update was revolutionary and would change Minecraft forever. me and my friends were hyped af for that horses now are just... something in the background
I believe I started playing MCPE somewhere around 0.7, I remember infinite worlds and the Nether being added quite a while after I started playing it and how exciting that was. Pocket Edition was always ridiculously far behind all the other versions and it's still crazy to me that it became the basis for the main version of the game on all platforms (unfortunately, RIP console editions, easily the best versions).
i vividly remember one bug waaaay back in mcpe that when you logged into a world, there was a chance you would spawn at the top of the world and fall to your death. my work around was to always log off in a water pool
As a 0.6.0 player, you have no idea how good you just made my day It's also interesting that before the better together update they had a Q&A where they said cross-platform multiplayer wouldn't be possible because of the platforms having different code and different processing required to run the game
@@techy804 geyser is still rather buggy. Its good enough for playing on without major issues, but the code would definitely not meet mojang's standards of quality.
I started playing MCPE during the v0.2.0 alpha and let me tell you, I’m glad I was here to watch the game grow This game was my childhood, and I remember making houses out of wool trying to protect myself from zombies.
I remember being absolutely ecstatic and freaking out when they finally added buckets. I was in class on my old ipod touch when i saw the update and shouted out "they added buckets to minecraft!" and everyone rushing to their ipods and cellphones and playing and experiencing buckets for the first time and it was just so awesome. life was much much more simple back then....
I remember being excited for 3d chests. It's literally just 2 pixels being extruded out of the model and an added opening/closing animations but yet I was still ecstatic for it. Man everything was simpler back then.
@@REALMARCHINADER Funnily enough, if you load up Minecraft Bedrock right know, grab any kind of chest (locked chest, ender chest, whatever) and look closely at it in your inventory, you'll see that it still looks the old way. And apparently this won't be fixed due to a difference in the way Bedrock renders chests. Pretty cool though
Thank you for doing this! As a Bedrock player, I knew more about the Java version history than the Bedrock version history due to the difference in amount of content for both platforms. Thank you!
Yep! Super similar for me. Having this brief idea about the version history has given a lot of insight to why things today are they way they are. Like how the Sony reluctance can still be shown from the token (as told by toycat) but also the trophy system instead of achivements and the availability of only featured servers.
Man i feel so incredibly old, knowing every of those updates in some form, being excited about all the new stuff they added after the Microsoft acquisition, playing around with them as a kid Weve come a really long way, and its nice to look back at my favorite games history Sadly, because this games older than most devices lifespans my old worlds are all lost wich is sad
Man, the nostalgia. MCPE was the first edition of minecraft I actually played survival properly. I think I played version 0.6.something. My friend told me about how to make the nether reactor and how to activate it and it was super cool that time.
Just saying, there WAS a 1.15.0 bedrock update but only as a beta. It basically fixed lots of parity issues like adding curse of binding and holding torches, ladders and flowers looked the same as java and not smaller as well as 3D item drops
2016 was when I really got into the Minecraft community and wow, retrospectively, it was such a good year for MCPE updates. 3 major ones: Friendly update in June, Boss update in October, and Ender Update in December, with each update even larger than the last. That was so fun.
i remember the demo version of pocket edition where you only had like glass, bricks, grass and stuff like that and you had like a tiny world and you were only in creative mode. it was great
Fun fact : just like in bedrock/PE there was something which mildly resembled the nether before it's introduction, so was the case in java. In Minecraft Indev, you could make worlds with a "hell" theme, always at night, with monsters spawning and with lava instead of water.
when the Nether reactor core was first added, the structure it created was made out of obsidian before it was netherrack. It seems like that's getting forgotten with time, I vividly remember my reactor core towers being made of obsidian and when it changed to netherrack I lost my mind
26:12 in one of the old community livestreams, the reason for skipping was stated as because they were internally one ahead and they wanted to sync up the version number they had internally with the one customers see
26:10 I recall seeing on Twitter ages ago that the reason 1.3.0 was skipped was that the version numbers for Betas were somehow one place ahead of the actual game (example, when 1.2.0 released, it must have been labeled as 1.3.0 in the beta). So the devs basically wanted to get the numbers back in sync.
I remember being extremely hyped as a kid for each PE update, with the limited amount of features we had until the merging. nowdays, it's just "oh new update, cool I guess".
I started playing in 2017 between the better together and update aquatic. My husband just started playing a month or so ago. Cool to see how far Minecraft has come and excited for its future.
I probably started playing around 2015, but still long before the nether. I played with the reactor core tons of times before. I remember freaking out about bunnies. :) Thanks for the nostalgia!
May 14, 2012, I purchased pocket edition 0.3.0 after playing the Xbox 360 version at a friends house a few days earlier. It was jarring to me that the mobile version was so simple in comparison, but my god, 0.3.0 through 0.8.0 are a staple of my childhood/early teenage years. If I could go back to relive May 2012, I don’t think I would complain.
Omg this is so nostalgic, but for some reason, I vividly remember the update that added horses and observers and strays and husks I also remember the 0.10.0 alpha update vividly, that was the last update my old $40 tablet could handle lol
They kept the block for awhile after the neither was added. It kinda sucks it got take off even if it serves no use anymore. I’d love to just have it in my game for nostalgia purposes
I started playing MCPE in 2013. I remember a cool trick with the nether reactor, where if you broke the core before it was finished, it would speed up the day/night cycle untill activated a new reactor. But the spire of the reactor you broke, would not break, so you could use it as a base.
I remember a majority of these. I was in around 1st/2nd Grade when I started playing MCPE, and I remember it being super limited. I would always play in Creative(because I thought Survival was too scary) so it was especially apparent with what was added due to the Creative Inventory. I still play Minecraft on iPad nowadays(with 3rd-party “Behavior Pack” mods too) and I’m honestly so thankful for it basically being the same nowadays, but I’m also glad I experienced the older Pocket Edition versions.
Wow, I got crazy flashbacks from Mobcrush when you mentioned that "weird mobile streaming app". I used to play hunger games along side with you all those years ago and it's crazy to see that I wasn't just imagining that.
The nether reactor was actually pretty cool. Its why I used to like pkt edition as a kid Ps: I played on java edition and PE. I played PE in 2011-2014 - mostly with my brother and we played it for more hours than I can even count. Fun version
I remember being so hopeful when MCPE got very interesting and updates with lots of content that resembled Java Edition in around 2015-2016. Back then everything was so bareboned.
32:30 that's why I loved 1.16 update and i called it the real Parity update which made Bedrock as same as Java in terms of equal weighing of features, glitches, bug fixes, etc this update was the golden age for Minecraft Bedrock Edition 33:11 yeah and Renderdragon made Bedrock RTX superior than All those so called Java RTX shaders
The problem with 1.16 on Switch is that there's bugs from that update that are STILL THERE such as; left hand is completely invisible, maps in containers are always called "Unknown map", and offhand items are usually too low. These are my top 3 most annoying and they refuse to ever fix them!
Still remember how hype each PE major update was. Having a beautiful sky and a sun and moon cycle blew my mind, but before that I was astounded by merely having a blue sky instead of a grey one, also snowballs
I remember playing the 0.9 beta with a friend of mine and having a fun bug relating to the new world type, before this there weren't any proper biome color maps(think leaf color) so all foliage were essential bugged out(they were purple) for a while. 10/10 video, makes me feel nostalgic.
I’ve been trying to figure out what update I first played Minecraft on because I didn’t participate in or pay attention to the community when I first started playing, but I have the memory of a goldfish so it’s been difficult. This video helps give me some reference points, thanks
Omg the Minecraft p.e start screen is so nostalgic 😭😭 I remember how it either didn't save or I didn't know how to but I was scared shirtless of zombies
I remember when I first saw the nether reactor core. I was about 6 at the time, and I just saw it in the survival menu. I had no clue what it was or how to even get the materials for it, but I thought "ooooh pretty block" and made that my goal. I was not good at survival at the time, and never actually crafted it in that world, but there are all these fun memories from it :)
Thank you for this. I now know how long i've been playing minecraft for. I did have a rough idea, but i was 10 at the time and didn't focus on updates too much. They were just the occasional presents i received.
28:08 that video really sticks with me too, it was one of the first video's I watched of this channel, I was at my grandmas house, I was so excited for this update.
23:52 even though I'm a Bedrock player i still hate the fact that they made Bedrock as the default edition of Minecraft and didn't added Bedrock Edition under Minecraft and renamed Java To Minecraft:Java edition which was not fair to Java players
probably $$$$ all i can see the reason was to easier to get money, you have the marketplace targeting kids and then minecraft bedrock is the rael game with the marketplace inside also java is forced now to get Microsoft accounts for "security reason" honestly i can see that as more control and easier to ban players on both accounts at once but in doing that they also gain more microsft accounts with more user data world wide..
@@knightwolf3511 yes, in Bedrock Edition there's a hidden F3 Debug screen which only developers can access which makes sense cuz they have to moniter game's background processes but it's also given to Marketplace creators so they can make mods and maps quicker and more polished than the community which is not fair as compared to Java if Microsoft gives these hidden features like F3 debug screen to players and community then they'll be able to make their own mods and then no one will buy stuff from Marketplace and just search up for free content on MCPEDL, i believe if we ever get these features to make mods it would be thousand times better than Marketplace content which is mainly maps and skins which no one uses instead we would like to have Modding capabilities
@@knightwolf3511 and the security reason makes sense because on Java edition players got hacked in past 2 times, with a exploit in Java edition related to JVM and your access code on servers so Microsoft accounts would be great for security purposes
wow i got whiplash when you mentioned that weird mobile only platform because i realized you were talking about mobcrush and i completely forgot that i was super active in the mcpe community there for a while and watched alot of ur streams there
0.5.0 was my childhood man.. I recently reinstalled it and I've been playing through it I had so many good memories playing with my friends on that version.
It would be also be neat to see a history of console edition updates, I kinda wish bedrock was a combination of pocket edition and console edition rather than just pocket edition since there are some features on console edition that are surprisingly still exclusive such as dedicated mini games and tutorial worlds. It also add imo better creative and crafting menus with more categories. It also had faster minecarts and for what it’s worth the furnace minecart. Likewise Java does have some good features that were unfortunately removed such as “buffet” worlds, in depth world customization (custom super flats were also not on bedrock where as they were on the console editions), amplified, etc. Plus the console sized and old pocket edition worlds aren’t options which I think could be cool as options. Also console edition dlc did predate the marketplace (since the way you word it makes it sound like it was a new thing, though it has its differences for sure).
Been playing mcpe (or was mcpe before) since 11.0 or 12.0. At the time i never had a console or a pc before and i remember very well back then that i got bullied because mcpe was my only way of playing “Minecraft” Even to this day I still play Minecraft on my both phones exclusively instead of my xbox and switch. If my 11 year old self saw the future of mcpe he’d die of excitement
my first update added spawn eggs and tnt.. i still remember my first house ever was a ice house. and i remember my other builds including a melon apartment, quartz fire magenta wool house, painting cave, and more. good times.
to this day i remember seeing a video on youtube called "MINECRAFT PE 0.17.0 SURPRISE RELEASED, THE END IS FINALLY HERE" i couldn't believe it, finally seeing the ender dragon on my phone, this time it wasn't a lie, this time it was the truth, one of the best surprises in my life.
I remember on 1.2 update watching slicedlime explaining the new revamped command system in CZcams as he was one of the main developers on that same system
My first version of Minecraft was MCPE 0.8.0, or somewhere around that number. I remember having a "survival" world (that was filled with stuff I got in creative) where I built this massive track over an ocean, and to the right, you could see a netherrack tower from when I activated a nether reactor core. Still can't believe I activated a reactor core when I used to be deathly scared of stuff like wolves after you punch them. Another thing I remember was starting my first true survival world, building a house where there one just one block I could stand in, and huddling there during the night. As I was waiting there, I was looking through the door just in front of me, and a creeper walked up to it and just stared at me through the door. Safe to say, I never went back to that world again. I just wish there was some way to go back and relive that time of my life and replay those old MCPE versions. A quick thing I remember was messing around on a server I had found for MCPE. It was called BlocksAndGold, if I remember correctly. I don't fully remember what all was on it, but it was my first online multiplayer Minecraft experience. If anyone reading this remembers a server on MCPE called that, let me know. I'm curious what has become of it now. A little while after I got Java Edition 1.8.8, I downloaded the Windows 10 Edition, since I got a free download code for owning Java Edition. If I remember correctly, that version turned into Bedrock Edition, and so I got to update the W10 Edition to Bedrock Edition for free. While I was messing around in W10 Edition, I do remember how, to me at least, it always felt a bit off from what I was used to in Java Edition. I remember it feeling like MCPE, so hearing that it was essentially a port of MCPE makes a lot more sense. Sorry for rambling, but it's just that there are very few times when I get to talk about my experience playing this game. Thanks for reading.
Did anyone else here live through them adding double chests to the game, but double chests existing made your single chests that were touching eachother completely delete their inventory, so everything you collected over 3 years in that world, after having mined out the entire underneath of the 256x256 world was gone.
I started playing mcpe on 0.8. I know this cause when I started playing worlds were limited but then when an update came the worlds could be infinite, there were also these weird villager things and these red cows. I always played creative of course because I was afraid of everything back then, even playing a game mode in some block game. Great video nonetheless, brought back some memories.
I remember signing up for the alpha pre release versions when google plus was still a thing, waiting just to try out all the new features before release
14:17 i remember this update and i made my tiny world into an infinite world… also you could go on top of the world boundaries in tiny worlds (spiders too)
I only play pocket edition (I know, I need a pc) so it's interesting to see the few updates that came out before I started playing. I still remember being so upset when powered rails needed redstone to be turned on
some of my best memories was playing loyal multiplayer and summoning the nether, stealing the gold before it dissapears and trying to keep a pet zombie pigman
ah i remember when the occasional 0.x.0 update would come out for pocket edition, and i would wonder, EVERY SINGLE UPDATE, when redstone would be functional. good times
What people don't understand is that for people who started with pocket edition (like me) this stuff was all brand new, and never before seen. I remember when they added skeletons and spiders, I stopped playing because I got scared. I had never seen anything like that. Then in the next update they added difficulty settings, which I accidentally enabled which made me happy, since there weren't any mods.
While everyone else may have hated the skins being added to Minecraft PE, I loved them as a little kid. I remember every day I would check the Minecraft updates on my mom's iPad to see if any skins were added. It always was something to look forward to. Also 2 skins would usually be free, so I didn't have to spend any of my money. However by the time the marketplace came around, I stopped looking since the amount of packs started to seem overwhelming.
Yep i did play the alpha version which you use the nether reactor core. I miss that!!! I love using the chunk of the nether reactor core as a rollercoaster building
It makes me feel so old thinking about how many kids never played on these old versions. I was in third grade I think when pocket edition released and I remember being so sad that nobody wanted to play it with me lol
I have many fond memories of pocket edition. I can remember being at my cousins house when there was the crafting update (which blew my mind) and you only had infinite glass and bricks
Maybe this is dumb but I've been playing since I was 10 years old on my iPod, I remember most of the phases and later on I switched to XBOX and seeing how PE changed and is now the version that most people play makes me so happy, such great memories

I also remember the 0.10.0 alpha update vividly, that was the last update my old $40 tablet could handle lol
the footage of the nether reactor core gave me so many memories, i could never find out how to make one and when i did find out, they removed it :(
Thank you!! I've been searching for this type of video few days ago and here it is in my recommendations
My favorite Minecraft CZcamsr! Great video ibxtoycat, keep up the great work mate!

i miss the nether reactor core...
They kept the block for awhile after the neither was added. It kinda sucks it got take off even if it serves no use anymore. I’d love to just have it in my game for nostalgia purposes
I started playing MCPE in 2013. I remember a cool trick with the nether reactor, where if you broke the core before it was finished, it would speed up the day/night cycle untill activated a new reactor. But the spire of the reactor you broke, would not break, so you could use it as a base.
I remember a majority of these. I was in around 1st/2nd Grade when I started playing MCPE, and I remember it being super limited. I would always play in Creative(because I thought Survival was too scary) so it was especially apparent with what was added due to the Creative Inventory. I still play Minecraft on iPad nowadays(with 3rd-party “Behavior Pack” mods too) and I’m honestly so thankful for it basically being the same nowadays, but I’m also glad I experienced the older Pocket Edition versions.
Wow, I got crazy flashbacks from Mobcrush when you mentioned that "weird mobile streaming app". I used to play hunger games along side with you all those years ago and it's crazy to see that I wasn't just imagining that.
The nether reactor was actually pretty cool. Its why I used to like pkt edition as a kid
Ps: I played on java edition and PE. I played PE in 2011-2014 - mostly with my brother and we played it for more hours than I can even count. Fun version
I remember being so hopeful when MCPE got very interesting and updates with lots of content that resembled Java Edition in around 2015-2016. Back then everything was so bareboned.
32:30 that's why I loved 1.16 update and i called it the real Parity update which made Bedrock as same as Java in terms of equal weighing of features, glitches, bug fixes, etc this update was the golden age for Minecraft Bedrock Edition
33:11 yeah and Renderdragon made Bedrock RTX superior than All those so called Java RTX shaders
Yep 1.16 was kinda the starting of 100% parity goal for the devs.
@@leadharsh0616 yes
The problem with 1.16 on Switch is that there's bugs from that update that are STILL THERE such as; left hand is completely invisible, maps in containers are always called "Unknown map", and offhand items are usually too low. These are my top 3 most annoying and they refuse to ever fix them!
"golden age for bedrock" that was like 2 years ago
oh wait, 1.16 is turning 3 years old in two months, damn
Still remember how hype each PE major update was. Having a beautiful sky and a sun and moon cycle blew my mind, but before that I was astounded by merely having a blue sky instead of a grey one, also snowballs
I remember playing the 0.9 beta with a friend of mine and having a fun bug relating to the new world type, before this there weren't any proper biome color maps(think leaf color) so all foliage were essential bugged out(they were purple) for a while.
10/10 video, makes me feel nostalgic.
I’ve been trying to figure out what update I first played Minecraft on because I didn’t participate in or pay attention to the community when I first started playing, but I have the memory of a goldfish so it’s been difficult. This video helps give me some reference points, thanks
2:39 7th of 2021 🤣🤣🤣 sorry i couldn't resist, but also I love your content. I've been a MCPE player since 2012.
Omg the Minecraft p.e start screen is so nostalgic 😭😭
I remember how it either didn't save or I didn't know how to but I was scared shirtless of zombies
Always exited for ibxtoycat new vids 😀👍😆😁😎
I remember when I first saw the nether reactor core. I was about 6 at the time, and I just saw it in the survival menu. I had no clue what it was or how to even get the materials for it, but I thought "ooooh pretty block" and made that my goal. I was not good at survival at the time, and never actually crafted it in that world, but there are all these fun memories from it :)
started playing MCPE in 0.3.1. lots of this is a huge wave of nostalgia
This video was nostalgic for me, thanks toycat.
I chocked on my coffee when you mentioned the Samsung tv Minecraft. I had no idea. 0_o
*goes to buy fridge*
Thank you for this. I now know how long i've been playing minecraft for. I did have a rough idea, but i was 10 at the time and didn't focus on updates too much. They were just the occasional presents i received.
I was so hyped when they added survival
Remember when glowing obsidian was in Minecraft? Well, they gotta add it again at some point.
28:08 that video really sticks with me too, it was one of the first video's I watched of this channel, I was at my grandmas house, I was so excited for this update.
23:52 even though I'm a Bedrock player i still hate the fact that they made Bedrock as the default edition of Minecraft and didn't added Bedrock Edition under Minecraft and renamed Java To Minecraft:Java edition which was not fair to Java players
probably $$$$ all i can see the reason was to easier to get money, you have the marketplace targeting kids and then minecraft bedrock is the rael game with the marketplace inside
also java is forced now to get Microsoft accounts for "security reason" honestly i can see that as more control and easier to ban players on both accounts at once
but in doing that they also gain more microsft accounts with more user data world wide..
@@knightwolf3511 yes, in Bedrock Edition there's a hidden F3 Debug screen which only developers can access which makes sense cuz they have to moniter game's background processes but it's also given to Marketplace creators so they can make mods and maps quicker and more polished than the community which is not fair as compared to Java if Microsoft gives these hidden features like F3 debug screen to players and community then they'll be able to make their own mods and then no one will buy stuff from Marketplace and just search up for free content on MCPEDL, i believe if we ever get these features to make mods it would be thousand times better than Marketplace content which is mainly maps and skins which no one uses instead we would like to have Modding capabilities
@@knightwolf3511 and the security reason makes sense because on Java edition players got hacked in past 2 times, with a exploit in Java edition related to JVM and your access code on servers so Microsoft accounts would be great for security purposes
I remember playing Minecraft PE update 0.4.0 alpha, on my ipod touch. This video has really brought back some old memories.
This was really cool and fun to learn about Bedrock’s history
wow i got whiplash when you mentioned that weird mobile only platform because i realized you were talking about mobcrush and i completely forgot that i was super active in the mcpe community there for a while and watched alot of ur streams there
0.5.0 was my childhood man.. I recently reinstalled it and I've been playing through it I had so many good memories playing with my friends on that version.
The first version I played was when Minecraft Windows 10 came out , it was weird you could mine coal with your hands
It would be also be neat to see a history of console edition updates, I kinda wish bedrock was a combination of pocket edition and console edition rather than just pocket edition since there are some features on console edition that are surprisingly still exclusive such as dedicated mini games and tutorial worlds. It also add imo better creative and crafting menus with more categories. It also had faster minecarts and for what it’s worth the furnace minecart.
Likewise Java does have some good features that were unfortunately removed such as “buffet” worlds, in depth world customization (custom super flats were also not on bedrock where as they were on the console editions), amplified, etc.
Plus the console sized and old pocket edition worlds aren’t options which I think could be cool as options.
Also console edition dlc did predate the marketplace (since the way you word it makes it sound like it was a new thing, though it has its differences for sure).
Been playing mcpe (or was mcpe before) since 11.0 or 12.0. At the time i never had a console or a pc before and i remember very well back then that i got bullied because mcpe was my only way of playing “Minecraft”
Even to this day I still play Minecraft on my both phones exclusively instead of my xbox and switch. If my 11 year old self saw the future of mcpe he’d die of excitement
Easily the best part of old Minecraft PE was playing with a friend and grabbing items out of a chest at the same time to duplicate them.
Did you also do the door trick where you could teleport to the top of an area if you logged out?
my first update added spawn eggs and tnt.. i still remember my first house ever was a ice house. and i remember my other builds including a melon apartment, quartz fire magenta wool house, painting cave, and more. good times.
to this day i remember seeing a video on youtube called "MINECRAFT PE 0.17.0 SURPRISE RELEASED, THE END IS FINALLY HERE" i couldn't believe it, finally seeing the ender dragon on my phone, this time it wasn't a lie, this time it was the truth, one of the best surprises in my life.
I remember on 1.2 update watching slicedlime explaining the new revamped command system in CZcams as he was one of the main developers on that same system
I started minecraft off on my father's tablet in 2013 and holy crap it was horrible, I'm so glad that they kept up with the updates
My first version of Minecraft was MCPE 0.8.0, or somewhere around that number. I remember having a "survival" world (that was filled with stuff I got in creative) where I built this massive track over an ocean, and to the right, you could see a netherrack tower from when I activated a nether reactor core. Still can't believe I activated a reactor core when I used to be deathly scared of stuff like wolves after you punch them. Another thing I remember was starting my first true survival world, building a house where there one just one block I could stand in, and huddling there during the night. As I was waiting there, I was looking through the door just in front of me, and a creeper walked up to it and just stared at me through the door. Safe to say, I never went back to that world again. I just wish there was some way to go back and relive that time of my life and replay those old MCPE versions.
A quick thing I remember was messing around on a server I had found for MCPE. It was called BlocksAndGold, if I remember correctly. I don't fully remember what all was on it, but it was my first online multiplayer Minecraft experience. If anyone reading this remembers a server on MCPE called that, let me know. I'm curious what has become of it now.
A little while after I got Java Edition 1.8.8, I downloaded the Windows 10 Edition, since I got a free download code for owning Java Edition. If I remember correctly, that version turned into Bedrock Edition, and so I got to update the W10 Edition to Bedrock Edition for free. While I was messing around in W10 Edition, I do remember how, to me at least, it always felt a bit off from what I was used to in Java Edition. I remember it feeling like MCPE, so hearing that it was essentially a port of MCPE makes a lot more sense.
Sorry for rambling, but it's just that there are very few times when I get to talk about my experience playing this game. Thanks for reading.
That was great!! So nostalgic and detailed. Could you possibly do this Java pls?
Did anyone else here live through them adding double chests to the game, but double chests existing made your single chests that were touching eachother completely delete their inventory, so everything you collected over 3 years in that world, after having mined out the entire underneath of the 256x256 world was gone.
I started playing mcpe on 0.8. I know this cause when I started playing worlds were limited but then when an update came the worlds could be infinite, there were also these weird villager things and these red cows. I always played creative of course because I was afraid of everything back then, even playing a game mode in some block game. Great video nonetheless, brought back some memories.
I remember signing up for the alpha pre release versions when google plus was still a thing, waiting just to try out all the new features before release
Imagine remembering all of these
14:17 i remember this update and i made my tiny world into an infinite world… also you could go on top of the world boundaries in tiny worlds (spiders too)
I only play pocket edition (I know, I need a pc) so it's interesting to see the few updates that came out before I started playing. I still remember being so upset when powered rails needed redstone to be turned on
Don't apologize for not having a PC
it's crazy how much mcpe has changed, i remember being 5 years old and playing the first version of pocket edition on my nexus 7 tablet
Good job, but forgot to say 0.15 added the realms we know today and added Xbox Live integration to allow long-distance multiplayer
This is really nostalgic as a Bedrock player since PE 0.4.0
A great evolution! 💯
My first experience with Pocket Edition was back when pistons & stained glass didn't exist, and the old stonecutter was still in the creative menu.
some of my best memories was playing loyal multiplayer and summoning the nether, stealing the gold before it dissapears and trying to keep a pet zombie pigman
I remember back when switching between creative and survival mode was added to the game. I cheated like crazy in my worlds!
ah i remember when the occasional 0.x.0 update would come out for pocket edition, and i would wonder, EVERY SINGLE UPDATE, when redstone would be functional. good times
20:20 I remember 0.15.0 also added pistons and observers (which were initially PE exclusive)
I remember being so happy when double chests were added
What people don't understand is that for people who started with pocket edition (like me) this stuff was all brand new, and never before seen. I remember when they added skeletons and spiders, I stopped playing because I got scared. I had never seen anything like that. Then in the next update they added difficulty settings, which I accidentally enabled which made me happy, since there weren't any mods.
i really love the fact that you can play minecraft, stop for 10 years, and STILL be playing the same version when you come back
While everyone else may have hated the skins being added to Minecraft PE, I loved them as a little kid. I remember every day I would check the Minecraft updates on my mom's iPad to see if any skins were added. It always was something to look forward to. Also 2 skins would usually be free, so I didn't have to spend any of my money. However by the time the marketplace came around, I stopped looking since the amount of packs started to seem overwhelming.
Yep i did play the alpha version which you use the nether reactor core. I miss that!!! I love using the chunk of the nether reactor core as a rollercoaster building
It makes me feel so old thinking about how many kids never played on these old versions. I was in third grade I think when pocket edition released and I remember being so sad that nobody wanted to play it with me lol
Finally, I understand the confusing naming conventions of Minecraft bedrock updates.
I have many fond memories of pocket edition.
I can remember being at my cousins house when there was the crafting update (which blew my mind) and you only had infinite glass and bricks
damn, this hit hard in the nostalgia department
I played hundreds of hours of minecraft Pe Alpha. Incredible memories
Maybe this is dumb but I've been playing since I was 10 years old on my iPod, I remember most of the phases and later on I switched to XBOX and seeing how PE changed and is now the version that most people play makes me so happy, such great memories
while watching this im constantly going "oh yeah, i remember!". this is quite nostalgic
Nether reactors are so nostalgic
I always thought support for legacy console edition ended with the aquatic update. That is when my PS3 stopped updating.
I play MCPE since 2011 with Xperia Play, I can still remember those forgotten blocks
2:18 actually, i have the old mcpe demo on my phone for those times when i feel nostalgic
