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

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).

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.

Then even reading or watching tv caused nausea.

It's simple for me: My friends don't play anymore. Even if they do, we play for maybe two sessions before they don't want to go back. Don't get me wrong, I used to play solo too, but there was always the promise of your friends joining or wanting to show them something you made. My creativity isn't enough to keep me going by myself, and anything I make will never be impressive enough to myself for it to feel worth it. If I ever try, the OG music just makes me too...sad. I started playing in pre-alpha. It seems like a lifetime ago. It just gives me a melancholic nostalgia for a time that's long gone, and I can't handle it.

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.

Most of the basic blocks are the same but many have changed textures and functions (ores), so many buildings and they are so easy to find.

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.

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!

Although some things are sometimes cool when you see new things, I think any game where there are going to eventually be fundamentally different changes made, there should always be a "Classic" or "Original" setting where you can say "I pass on the new stuff, just want to play my old familiar game that I already like." In Steam there are sometimes options to "Roll back" to earlier versions ; I think this should be a default option for every game, some people like new stuff added, some people don't, and some people would like the option for either, some days they just want to chill with the old familiar, it would make a much more solid and loyal fanbase more than doubling the population of satisfied players.

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.

The MEGA SIZED CAVES-AVES-AVES-aves-ves-s are just daunting. If you have a mod that lights it up they're breathtaking but it vanilla, there's 2 problems: how the hell to get down there without taking several in-game days and/or just dying AND even if you light up the floor, there's still so many areas that you may not find or be able to readily reach for them to spawn in. Technically it's still in your control but how many resources do I want to sacrifice just to making it safe to walk through/around this one area?

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.

Whipe I don't disagree, especially when it comes to things like the trial chambers and stuff. But honestly...I like the current development cycle because at least we know what we are getting from Minecraft now, and you CAN look these things up. Sure it sucks on 1.21 to do it...but remember when the nether was first added? Remember how long it took people to actually figure out how to make one? Exactly, it's supposed to be like that! Part of the fun is figuring it out! I think so anyway. And sure, there is way to much in Minecraft now, but to be honest, after the end/nether updates, you can ignore basically all of the other ones. And their added content lol

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 do feel like im just running on the nostalgia train at this stage. all the old consoles and gaming devices and the old games from those consoles, ive never truely let go of them as if it were a core memmory. trouble is, i dont no where to go from here, how to move on and i dont want to either but ik at some point i have to. im 21 myself, i matured very quickly so i understood what it was like to be an adult and face adult decisions with my teen years which was also around the time when i was still playing bo2 and minecraft. to move on seems alien to me but ik it will end up happening. if that means i end up settling down and becoming a father or im living a normal day to day life without gaming and probally a large form of social media idk, but i can feel that gaming for me is coming to an end for me now. new games arnt too interesting for me, i dont feel the hype that often anymore, i cant find too much fun in a game nor play it for so long and the player base is also boring and the most toxic ive seen to date. i no longer have a drive to play any games anymore. i still play them and can still find fun in them but, theres nothing that excites me in games anymore. nothing to work towards thats worthwhile to me.

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.

+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

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.

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.

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.

I feel like its mostly the hunger and health regen... i feel like easy should be a place to LEARN the hunger mechanics, not be punished for not knowing them. There should be a constant slow health regen that gets faster when you are full. No HP effects from hunger only stopping sprinting and slowing regen. Even stopping sprinting...like who stops to eat a steak evey minute when they are running? At least give me like 5mins of sprinting I'm fairly out of shape and even I can do that without having to stop for a cheeseburger. Its ridiculous and doesnt add anything fun to the game. If youre on bedrock and have to crouch to block + no sword blocking it just becomes a huge PITA to do anything in survival anymore. Oh wait guys its not annoying enough you better sleep by the end of 3 days or prepare to be annoyed even further. Literally it seems like the design philosophy changed from "give players freedom/motivate good decisions" to "punish players severely for not playing the game specifically how I play it, and offer no explanation for new mechanics that get people killed.

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.

ive been playing minecraft since 2012, and i think you were so right about how the game changed from 'how can i use these blocks' to 'what can i do with these blocks'. i think the game just suffers from *too much*, because its turned into a game of collection before creativity i feel. i was and still am after all these years an avid watcher of stampylongnose, and his whole lovely world deal was 'how can i use this in a way thats unexpected'. using crafting tables as decoration, trapdoors for entire minigames, coloured wool for every build. as mojang adds more and more specific things with single uses, all that creativity disappears or is extremely halted, because why go through all the effort of experimenting and figuring with mechanics to make a boat flow up through a water tunnel when you can just find kelp and a soulsand block? why spend the time exploring your world to find endermen for pearls when you can just trap a pig in a hole and give it gold? why search for materials and build up xp and repair your tools when you can trap villagers for infinite books and nametags and armour? why see your builds through the minecraft block lens when you can use the 'correct' blocks? i miss the creativity

This is exactly why I still play on legacy console edition, 1.14 on the ps4. It is the perfect mix of old and new Minecraft. 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 really enjoy the simplicity of old minecraft and I'm glad so many other people do too

i think im starting to slowly come to terms with this as well. i still love minecraft and enjoy it alot, but i cant sit there and play it anymore. its just like fortnite. im getting close now to uninstalling fortnite. not cause its not interesting and fun but, i just get bored and cant play it for long anymore. with the bugs and issues as well and the updates, im not that fussed about it these days. i think the hype train and nostalgia trip for games like this is wearing off slowly and i think its getting to the end of a gaming era for me now where my body is ready to move on and live a life of a grown adult but my mind still clings on to the past. 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.

When I heared the sentence "... in 2013 when I was 6..." I just thought about how crazy this is. In 2013 I was 18 and the world of adulthood started to open up for me. I played Minecraft since 2009 and even more after 2013, when I moved out from my parents place. It was even more nostalgic then. Nowadays I play Minecraft only ever so often and on the XBox instead of PC. But seeing this video makes me want to start another session, even if it isn't anymore what it was back then.

Yeah i started playing around the same time and i was like 7 or 8, i absolutely loved the game for years and i stopped playing about 4 or 5 years ago, well my little sister started playing it and it made me want to play it again, so i've started playing it ever since a few months ago and i wasn't a fan of the new updates at first, mostly because i loved the simplicity of the older version, but i gave it a chance and i really love it again. I'm glad i started playing again and i hope you've given it another chance too 😁

Between work, my wife and family, I don't really get to play it anymore. But every now and then I'll think about that first dirt house I built in the swamp 14 years ago.

As you mentioned, Minecraft is a lonely game. It is actually "perfect" for those who don't play a lot of multi player or social games, I've been playing since well before the "1.0" release. I still fire it up today and spend an hour or more looking at the mods available and setup a game that I end up abandoning after a month or two. Then stop for a while. Then come back to it and do the same thing over again. I am not sure "outgrown" is the right word here, I am struggling to find the right one. I don't play as much as I used to maybe 10 years ago, that is certain. I was just thinking when am I going to outgrow this game? funny thing, very few people find it odd that a 42 year old is even playing Minecraft in the first place.

I’m nearly a grown ass man and just hearing strad reminded me of a base I had on an old realm, in the middle of the void, in the end the most lonely place possible but I always played strad to fill the emptiness and it had me on the verge of tears hearing it again. Amazing video, I hope it reaches more likeminded people :)

Such a good video. Holy cow man, the editing, the shots, the emotion, the musical choices. Seriously, this is why I love the minecraft community. If you love that old minecraft feeling but don't ever want it to stop, I suggest checking out Beta 1.7.3. I know it's old as sin and is missing a TON of modern minecraft features, but something about the removal of the Ender Dragon makes that exploratory, "find your own fun" feeling always evergreen. There is no end. And so you can just...keep going. Either way, amazing stuff, you've earned your new share of subscribers.

One of my favorite things to do in Minecraft is spelunking because it’s not as mindless as strip-mining and I love exploring the caves. The caves and cliffs update made exploring big caverns a lot more fun and dangerous for me. Slowly lighting up areas, getting dopamine bursts from mining out veins, and making the area safer with bridges and work stations. I felt like I was conquering the underground.

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.

this hit me right in the core, this is gonna be the millionth comment of its kind but i feel the need to get this out of my system, i remember the good old days when i did my homework as fast as i could just so i could go back to my ps3 and play minecraft, which i managed to get only when 1.12 hit the servers but i didnt even know about elytras. i remember my houses, mad without reason and yet... beautiful. the walls i used to put around them to feel safe, i used to lit every inch to not have mobs spawn and have my little safe spot and after all these years, nothing has ever felt safer. im still yearning for that safe spot, that safe space in which i can be me without any kind of external input and i can only find that peace when im fully alone. i want to stay in that peace forever but man life has been hitting so hard. im gonna go to university in like 2 months where did the time go ffs. i used to not even swear thought i was never going to. thank you for making me remember, the proper way.

This is genuinely one of the most polished video essays I have ever watched. On a topic I relate to deeply and to think back on all the memories I have on the game and my experiences with the newer versions, I can only agree with your words and be thankful for the time you spent making this video, because your words made me realize and come to terms with both my relationship with the game and some of my relationship with myself. 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.

Your outro to the world, specifically "but I can return as a visitor" hit hard. I also started playing in 2013. I was 13 at the time, I'm 24 now. I wasn't allowed to play on servers as a kid and out of the few friends I had back then none of them played minecraft. It was singleplayer all the way for me. I still play occasionally, usually for a couple weeks once or twice a year. I'm realizing now that I've never even been to the end at all. Maybe it's time i change that.

I used to just run around and make up stories about my world and let my imagination flow into the digital world. I lost that somewhere along the way. I do think that all of the new content in the game somewhat takes the onus off the player to make fun in their world, but I think it's still a me issue rather than a Minecraft issue

This video really hit every emotion and struck a chord in a way I wasn't expecting, but I think you really hit the nail on the head for answering the question presented--at least it feels real for my case. Utter whiplash to hear how young you were when you began playing in 2013, and that's not a slight in any way but rather just. I was 1--12 at the time, and yet the experience is shared to a T. There truly was something special about minecraft in that 2012-2013 timeframe that just stands out so poignantly and you captured every bit of that so so well. I know it's partially nostalgia in some form because my best memories of that era are in the summertime, eating ice cream with my friends while we played LAN worlds together on our clunky laptops that chugged at 20 fps, but it was amazing. And we always found so much to do, even if we only ever killed the dragon with cheats LMAO. I started a 1.13 world in about 2018 and I've been trying to drive it forward every now and then when I get the itch to play, but I definitely agree in the idea of modern minecraft just feeling so bloated that half the time im at a loss for what to do next. I still have to beat the enderdragon and easily could at this point--I have and have had everything ready for most of my playthrough thus far to be quite honest, but I don't know what I'm going to do after even with so much stuff left to do. I think it's a similar conundrum in a way---I don't want it to end but it might be a good time to stop pushing away the inevitable and actually get to read that poem for myself :] This also has me thinking about booting up the first version I remember playing and trying to complete the game there! It'd be a HUGE difference to modern day stuff but I think it'd be refreshing! 1.2.5 gang rise up 💖
