    Videos like these make me cry. How I miss sitting in my parents' basement, 8 years old, playing for hours with my older brother. Friends from elementary school. Childhood friends. I remember using redstone as a trail to help get my friends out of a cave they were lost in, them calling for my help. I remember pointlessly deciding to dig away a small sandy mountain with just my hands. Or when my brother and I decided to build a wooden hotel that reached world height, with a diving board on the top to jump into our pool. I remember my group of friends all deciding to eat pufferfish at the same time together and stumble about. But now my worlds have corrupted and are gone. My cats, dogs, parrots, and horses never saw me again. I and my friends have jobs, husbands and wives, careers, and kids. We were last online years ago. I miss them, and all the good times.
    But, I try to always remember: You didn't know it was the good times when you were living in them. Means you probably are still right now and just don't realize it. Make more good ole days. There will always be more.

      This is probably the biggest killer for me. I feel like I’m in a perpetual state of waiting for the most recently announced feature to drop so I can “finally” start a new playthrough. But as soon as an update actually drops they announce _another_ feature that’s dependent on terrain/structure generation, which makes me want to wait even longer.
      I’m also terrified of playing snapshots or version 1.X updates because I know world-ending bugs can happen that just completely destroy my efforts, which makes me want to wait on version 1.X.X.

    You have managed to create a video about something I've not been able to put into words for years. All of the updates minecraft has received have theoretically made the game better. The new textures, biomes, mobs, items etc.
    But for me it hasn't.
    I liked the old wheat textures. I liked knowing diamonds were at y=11. I liked not being able to break the game with stupidly OP villager trades. I liked when the Nether was barren, just netherrack, lava, and the odd fortress. I liked the late night mining sessions with the boys before we had school the next morning. I liked the sense of achievement which seems to have now been lost.
    Maybe it's nostalgia, maybe it's hiraeth I don't know, but I'm glad I'm not the only person that feels this way.

      Such a weird dilemma. There's people praising the game, like yourself, for being a technically superior version of the outdated days of Minecraft. Yet, the criticism for the game is wild considering the issues you have with the game was all down to the decision of how you played the game, which is boring through and through. Such specific irks like wheat textures? What? Maybe I'm fortunate to have evolved with the game, adding to the vanilla experience through the means of other texture packs, or shaders, and other various mods that aren't different, just enhanced. I was 11 of November 2011 when the game came out. Owned it in December that year. The game's been very fun again, why would I strip mine more than a decade later? Rid of those rose tinted glasses.

    On the topic of the texture change.
    At the time when the textured changed I knew nothing about Mojang/Microsoft or anything like that.
    I still remember my world I was playing in, on the day when the textures changed, I was in my sand mine and my thoughts for the first hour of play that day was: "The sand is wrong, why is it wrong? Why did it change?", I searched for anything that was the same in that world, others and even new ones, but they were all "wrong".
    Seeing this video and the old textures, feels "right" again.
    As if I awoke that day, many years ago, and the sky was purple and when I said it was wrong I was told resolutely that I was wrong. Everyday feeling out-of-place, until today seeing a blue sky and smiling because I was right, the sky had been blue.
    Blimey, this must be what nostalgia feels like. What a relief!

    This video made me remember something.
    While the over-world does invoke feelings of melancholy, the Nether makes me feel... empty. I think that's because of one of the most memorable things to happen to me regarding the Nether.
    Many years ago, when I was probably 6-8 years old, I had made a friend in Minecraft (one of my very few friends) and we played quite frequently. We made a world on Xbox 360 and made it to the Nether.
    We were exploring a fortress, and through some event, he died and I was entirely alone, with all of the gear we had.
    I don't entirely remember our conversation, but it was a stressful moment because there was a lot of pressure on me to get back to our base, but I didn't remember the way back at all, I think it went something like this towards the end though (rough estimation):
    Me: "I don't know where to go"
    Him: "It's alright, try to get back to base safely"
    Me: "I'm scared"
    Him: "...me too."
    Those words always sort of stuck with me. Why? Looking back, it was just Minecraft and there was no real threat of losing anything. Nothing bad was going to happen. Everything was going to be ok.
    Right?
    Miss you, bro. I remember you even after a decade. Thank you for the laughter and friendliness to remember in these times of seemingly everlasting darkness.
    Sincerely, Diamond

  • @corvusmonedula

    I disagree with "the less blocks the better" not everyone likes to build medieval. Dyed glass, terracotta and concrete open the door to so many more building styles and creative possibilities while still being limiting. They don't even have stairs or slabs. And even blocks with a specific purpose like the composter get used to build walls, flower pots, litter boxes, wheelbarrows, etc.
    Limiting yourself can be fun but you can't create a painting with a pencil.

    • @yland3r
      @yland3r Před 2 měsíci +118

      +1 I would argue Minecraft lacks a wider block variety even (no concrete/terracotta slabs/stairs for instance, the amount of wall types, among others). Not only that, but how accessible some of these are in large quantities in order to be similarly viable to easier-to-obtain blocks is also a factor if playing survival.

    • @oPlazmaMC
      @oPlazmaMC Před 2 měsíci +31

      Still if you want to build medieval still having to texture your walls and stuff or it will look ugly as hell. Mostly using 3 or 4 textures. Like for example, from in a good state to extremly worn: Stone Bricks, Cracked Stone Bricks, Tuff, Gray Concrete Powder
      Or the same way: Bricks, Polished Granite, Granite

    • @magic00squirrel
      @magic00squirrel Před 2 měsíci +72

      I disagree because yes, the old blocks do have a more medieval direction, but that's what gives the game it's consistency. Sure modern builders can make some great stuff, but for the average player, most builds in modern minecraft look awful. Older versions level the playing field by making the environment match the simplistic building. That and the challenge of making a modern house or something using old blocks creates for more interesting builds than 90% of modern minecraft builds in my opinion.

    this is legit one of the best videos I've seen on this platform from a technical perspective. the atmospheric shots, the pacing, the way you accentuate the music we all love with the editing... it's all very well put together and cohesive. and all that while avoiding the oversaturated style that's become so common in minecraft youtube.
    I'd honestly love to see more videos like this, maybe even a continuation of the same world.
    it's also relatable for me. i got into minecraft beta 1.5 in 2011 when i was 10, and have been playing older versions again since about 2019 or 2020, because at some point, the modern game had changed too much from the game i originally fell in love with.
    the ending made me pretty sad. the ender dragon really is the mother of all commitment issues. after defeating the dragon, you feel like it's the inevitable end of the game. but you were having fun before, so you can just continue playing on the world. the end fight doesn't change anything and nobody can tell you which version to play. you can try updating to the next version if/when you need something new.
    the main advice i can give you for commitment to a world is to set your own goals. build your world such that there's always something to do. after you defeat the dragon, there's not much reason to explore and upgrade your gear any more and after you've built a house, why build more? that's where you must find a reason. you could set a challenge or make up a story or just start building something you think will look cool. start a long term project as a sort of "background task", but don't focus on it too much and build some smaller projects alongside it.

    As someone who suffers from motion sickness, I can say that the texture updates was one of the best things that happened in Minecraft for me. I could now play for hours longer at a time and not feel sick after, ESPECIALLY the Nether.
    The world texture argument has always confused me when it talks about the grainy versus smoother look. You can have that again, it’s a readily available resource pack in all versions. I’m not going to discount the vanilla textures themselves don’t feel aligned with each other at times in modern Minecraft, but the people who want the classic have the ability to go back.

      The texture pack isn’t updated with completely new additions to the game and makes it look like a hodgepodge of different textures. This issue is notable especially in the nether where you can modern nether gold ore from 1.16 clashing right next to old netherrack.

      @@sopadss I know a lot of people that nauseous playing games in first person view or allow the camera to move "too much" in third person. It limits what and how they play. Most just end up either not playing much or say say they don't at all to avoid talking about it.
      It never bothered me, until I got an injury and lots of blood loss. Then even reading or watching tv caused nausea. Those recovered fairly quick but it took almost too months before I could play a game like minecraft for more than a few minutes. 90% of the time I'm fine now, but if I'm even a little sick, it comes right back.

      ​@@garlicmynutsThe less stuff you have, the more use you get out of each and every thing. If you have, like, a bucket of 100 legos, you have to get really creative to make them all count. If you have a million Legos in every color and shape you could imagine, it's almost overwhelming how much choice you have. Even though you technically have more creative opportunities, you're so overwhelmed by options that it's kind of scary for you to even start. This also applies to basically everything. I'm sure some people will always do well with infinite block choices, but a lot of people will actually do mote with less.

      ​@@garlicmynutsIt's also worth noting that in the context of survival Minecraft, if you want to use whatever blocks you want you basically have to search for some ultra rare biome or late game item to get it in bulk. This means that most of your time doesn't go into building and instead getting stuff you want to build with, which can be tedious as hell. In creative mode this isn't a problem tho obviously, which is why people commonly just build their stuff in a seperate world before trying to get the materials to remake it in survival.

      I used to tryhard the game during every single playthrough I had, getting the best gear and beating all the bosses, but now I decided to take a slower approach and focus on building and exploring instead. Because of that on my newer worlds I always end up with iron tools for, like, 95% of the game.
      Recently I decided to revisit my older worlds (from 2020-2021) and my god I was so creative with the houses back then, it was kinda crappy though, but it always gave me that feeling of genuine comfort while looking at them.
      When I was really young I used to mostly play on servers, either the public or the private ones with some guys I found on Skype/Discord. Nowadays I am too socially awkward to actually try and find someone to play with, so I spend most of my time in single player (rarely on the public minigame servers).
      It's kind of surreal how much this game holds a special place in my and many others' childhood (and it still is dear to my heart).

    in today's world where everyone needs outside input like game, social media, TV, Radio, Music, etc. we can't handle even just a single day without it. it can make people sooooo boooreedd, it's torturing. but it's too much, that you forget about the whole conflict and emotion that bottle up inside you. and the strip-mining is the best way to make you think about yourself and detach yourself from this busy world without getting bored

All the fun memories of laughter, the all nighters spent building bases, to even the idea of infinite possibilities of discovery proposed by this infinite world. Even though I never fully finished the game myself, I can definitely say it shaped who I am today and was a huge part of my childhood. There was just something missing about playing the game now trying to relive those memories but seeing this video made me realize how much i've grown and changed since then. It opened up a window to my past where I can look through and fully appreciate everything this game been by appreciating those memories instead of dwelling on them so thank you.

      i also think back to primary school and secondary school. the people i met along the way, friends, people who cared for and about me even when i didnt, the people who i wish were still with me to this day. those who have sadly lost their life and those who moved on with theirs. i never knew i had alot of good points in life and met such nice people until i finally grew up and reflected on the past. i do miss those days. back then, wouldntve dreamed of it but now, i wish i had another chance to relive those moments. its crazy how much u realised u messed up and the mistakes u made and the things you missed until its too late.

    Mods are incredibly important to me. It makes Minecraft truly endless and never boring. Its brought some of the happiest memories in my life. My ex was/is a terrible person but the best memories playing together in a beautiful modded dreamwold like a second life. Aside from that, old Minecraft has something special new Minecraft doesn't: When everything was so limited, people really came together and used their imagination/creativity more to make things work and amazing. Its so rare to see that nowadays. Also, new Minecraft is SO much harder to stay alive. The nether is 1000% more difficult to traverse and many ways to die. As much as I love ancient cities, I hate the world being twice as deep, so many mobs spawning. So even a run for iron is a fight for your life.

      True. Was playing minecraft latest version and it gets boring way to quickly, maybe its because of the way i play. I enjoy exploring, finding new stuff, walking around without knowing what i'll find next. So structures mods for me are a must have. New itens also to keep the gaming experience fresh. There is a mod called ''Artifacts'' that, everytime i remember its existance, it bugs my why minecraft doesnt add stuff like it. The mod adds some artifacts that you can find in chests in every structure in the game. These artifacts can be worn by the player and gives unique and special abilities like increased speed, double jump etc. I feel like mojang is worrying way to much in not making the game feel to crowded when it should be worrying in keeping the game fresh and new.

    What a relatable feeling towards what this game has become. I'm 26 now and have been playing Minecraft on-and-off again, since I was 13-14.
    I remember the first time I ever played, I spawned on an island with no trees or animals, but I was told this game was "great fun", so I swam and swam, for almost 20 min straight (Remember that you couldnt "sprint-swim"? And that you sank down so quickly, so you had to spam your spacebar just to stay above water? Well ngl, it kinda sucked at first, but I was determined to find something, anything other than ocean. And I did!
    I had watched some friends play once or twice before and knew that I had to "get wood" to start, so there I went, looking for trees and half-assing my way through the world.
    I remember being so proud of myself for taking the effort to find land, to explore, build a place for myself out of nothing. To tell your friends about the long swim, to show them my creations. And before I knew it, I was hooked.
    I never thought of making a new world, to get a better spawn, I didn't know yet, that every world was different. So I kept on playing in that same world for about a year or so, and I accomplished so much!
    But then things started changing. At first I got excited with every update, no matter how small, I wanted to try out the new things that were slowly getting added, I loved it! Because of Minecraft, I wanted to work as a gamedesigner, when I grew up!
    I started making new worlds every time something huge was added, to try to make that new feature my "new thing" that that world revolved around.
    But I also got older, I had to focus on other things in my life. Occasionally I came back, when a big update happend. But after a while, I'd start to notice that I never really got the same feeling from playing, as when I was young(er)..
    My dreams of becomming a gamedesigner stayed just that, dreams, but that's okay! I do still yearn for that feeling of freedom, and of creating out of nothing. But Minecraft simply got too overwhelming, for me, too many things to do to choose from. The things I ended up doing, I had done at least 100 times before and the game just became a little stale..
    Since about a month ago, I (for whatever reason) decided to start a world again, after nearly 2 years of not having played the game.
    It's doing well, I'm learning alot about all the new stuff that's been added~
    But most importantly, I'm having fun! By myself. Now I use Minecraft as a creative outlet, so when I'm stressed IRL, I just go hop on for an hour or two and see what happens. No setting goals, no expectations, just seeing what the world of Minecraft has to offer to me this time.
    Thank you for making this video and touching some of us Minecraft-vets' hearts! I've subbed, and liked this video, just as a little thank you for being here~
    Keep up the good work, in game and IRL :) You sound like a great person and I wish you happy feelings and good times

    I think what ruins minecraft is actually speed. At the time you were just discovering new stuff and it felt fun seeing something for the first time and i remember looking for a plains biome for my new house and then i had my mine my farm etc. but now players go in the end with almost no stuff just 4 beds and kill the dragon in 2min but at the time the dragon felt difficult and almost like it had emotions and also walking was actually enjoyable now 99% of players sprint jump because we're impatient and at the time more things were scary like going in water at the time was dangerous because skeletons could throw arrows but now you can cross a river in like 3 seconds. Another thing is we matured and stuff are less scary when i started seeing monsters around my house i was just scared and the nether felt dangerous. Another fun thing was just doing what you felt like in creative like i think most people like me started building a city and in the process got distracted into fun experiments that we enjoyed. Now we compare ourselfs alot to others and minecraft feels competitive and when you make your little house and go on youtube you see a solo guy building a mega city in hardcore and puts you to shame for it.

It lets you change the textures back to the original ones right when you load up the world, and it still has the 1.8 combat system. The game also has some bedrock features like piston movable containers and dyes in the cauldron to dye leather armor. (Also has the superior Java edition redstone) The minecarts are also 2x as fast, so you can make cool roller coasters. And after all, it feels like the most polished version, even more than Java. It really does still have that old Minecraft feel to it.

    As you mentioned your fear of completing the game, it reminded me of why I love playing minecraft beta so much. Back then, there was no specific objective to achieve, and you could never really finish the game. The enjoyment came from just building and being creative. I 100% agree that limitations often inspire creativity, and this is particularly evident in those older versions
    Modern minecraft offers a lot of content, but I often find myself lacking motivation to play it. With so many options and tasks to choose from, it can be overwhelming, making it difficult to focus on your builds. Rather than improving existing features, new ones are added, making the game feel bloated

    I feel strongly in particular about the nether tracks, and your depiction of the old nether wastes near the middle captures that essence perfectly. I've tried to explain the feelings I get from the original nether music and the atmosphere of the dimension itself, but people don't seem to get what I mean or have the same appreciation for it. When the nether montage part of this vid started, I was sort of in awe because it depicts exactly how I feel.

      i dont want to leave the gaming sphere and thats what i think hurts the most. being in it for 15 years, adapting my skill, playing for fun, enjoying the laughs with my mates on there, i cant see a world in which i fully move on away from it however i also feel like im not far from that deep down. its not a decision ive made but a natural process of moving on without really knowing i have. i think thats what hurts and scares me the most. leaving somethig i treasured so much, behind and only being able to look back.

    Man, really exceptional use of symbolistic camera work all throughout the video. The sun going down at the end, the rain to pair with that somber feeling of loss. Like other have mentioned you did a beautiful job pairing minecraft songs, sounds and music, with gameplay or feelings that they tend to evoke. Honestly this video is really beautiful.
    To be kind of existential for a moment, I think the fear and appreciation we feel for a world as you see the end in sight is what gives the game its ultimate value. It can be relatable to real life too if you choose to make the comparison. You can do anything you want in life, though depending on what resources you have and where you start some goals may be harder than others. In the heat of passion when you're focused on a task or a grind or having fun life and MC can feel endless. Like strip mining, the sensation that this grueling task will never end is difficult to shake. Ultimately you did push through it, and found significant meaning in something you did. I believe we put this meaning in what we do. Its what happens when you successfully put a piece of yourself in a task or creation you're working on.
    Moments of pause to reflect on the nice memories feel the way they do because you can't just sign back into minecraft and have the exact same experience. You weren't somber and serious back hanging with your friends, you were carefree having a slapstick good time. But those moments are fleeting. Life is fleeting. We're all a drop in the bucket and nothing we do will matter when you zoom out enough. Conversely that means we can't really fuck anything up so badly we'll destroy the whole universe (This isn't a challenge :) ), and we're free to pursue what we want. And despite the knowledge of the size and scope of life we still manage for forge unforgettable memories and friendships throughout. I think knowing it will all be gone, and knowing how small it all is makes it that much more special that you have it in your hands in this moment. Think about it. The universe is billions of years old and will be billions of years older, but you existed in the right time and place to play minecraft when it came out, and got to enjoy it with your family and make friends along the way.
    Maybe the point of things isn't be so impactful that you fundamentally change everything. Maybe minecraft doesn't need to be the only game you play for the rest of your life. Maybe its enough to be content in life doing what makes you happy, be that minecraft, or forknife, or enjoying the company of friends or pets, or something else entirely. Since nothing really matters, then you can let yourself and everything you do and feel be all that matters.

    Just like the game we will always grow and sometimes growing means changing in ways that, when looking back we might dislike. But that is the nature of growing, and we will continue to grow, maybe finding the changes to be necessary in becoming a better person or someone more equipped to handle life.
    So thank you. I love your work, hope to see more like it in the future, but as a passion project I understand if nothing feels right to put this amount of time and effort into again. Nonetheless, thank you.

    The production quality with cuts and edits to the beat of the music is insane! Well deserved sub.

    thank you for this video. it was very enjoyable to watch. in comparison to other videos, this isn't overedited like hell, but more edited cinemetically and feels more like an actual journey. very good, thank you.

    Amazing video, I’ve been playing since I was in middle school when enchants would cost 50 levels; I’m 27 now and just jumping back in for my yearly couple of months where I go all out and looking up all the new automatic farms and how to optimize my experience. I came across this video in my recommend and very glad I did.

    Hey man, I just want to say that this is the first video I've watched on CZcams where I could tell that the filming and editing was more than just a part of the process for the creator. Your editing was top-notch, both in a quality sense and just in a "fun to watch" sense. Thank you for making this video.
