200 Things Old Players Know About Minecraft

I remember when mossy cobblestone was one of the rarest blocks in the game

Only OGs will remember that dark patch glitch that sometimes generates in a world, typically in mountain faces or caves. Then once you place a block in it you basically break the glitch

A couple more things vets will remember: - Early versions of the Nether sounded terrifying because ghasts kept randomly flying into lava or burning netherrack and could actually be damaged by them. - Furnaces could be used as hidden stashes because they had a regular stone texture on top. - Building minecart boosters because powered rails didn't exist yet. - Using water ladders to climb up super quickly.

“Then you’re definitely a veteran player” “Then you’re definitely a veteran player” “Then you’re definitely a veteran player” “Then you’re definitely a veteran player” “Then you’re definitely a veteran player” “Then you’re definitely a veteran player” “Then you’re definitely a veteran player”

Fun fact about the death screen no longer saying "game over!" It still says "game over!" when you die on a hardcore world, which is very fitting as well lol.

Does anyone remember the time when clay was incredibly rare? If you wanted to build a brick house, you had to spend hours looking for clay in rivers and lakes. The spawnrate for clay seemed incredibly finite.

I remember when the only thing the Nether was useful for was fast travel to somewhere far away in the overworld. We had full rail stations in the Nether complete with minecart dispensers to get from one side of the map to the other quickly. The hardest part was not getting ganked by ghasts while we were building the rail ines.

Does anyone else remember the water elevators? You’d use a boat at the bottom and you’d shoot to the top

Does anyone remember the good old days when you could craft a bed with different types of wool, and get a red bed? Or making dirt beacons to find you're way back home?

bruh.. Seeing the blacksmith considered an old thing makes me feel EVEN older.. and I’ve been playing since 2010.

I also remember these few things from older versions - Pumpkins already have faces carved and doesn't grow if you don't till the dirt around. -You can't place jack o lanterns on glass block or fences -your own dog will attack you if you hit your self with an arrow -sheep wool don't regrow -you can have water in nether by bringing and breaking ice block

I remember 90%+ of these because they weren't just exclusive to beta or alpha. They stuck around for a LONG time. I remember after release updates 1.2, 1.3, and 1.5 were MASSIVE updates. None of the other updates since have compared.

Little note about the old enchanting tables: You could absolutely read the text and see what the enchants were, you just had to learn what each symbol meant. I've all but forgotten it now, but back in the day, I used to translate enchanting table scriptures for my friends over Skype

I was really upset when they removed the ability to block with your sword. I was young and horrible at the game when I was finally able to get it on my computer but I remember joining public servers and playing cops and robbers, you’d spawn with a sword and in a cell with cell mates, whom could easily kill you, but you often made the sign of peace to prevent that

I remember being really excited for beds, stackable food, animals all dropping unique meats. I also remember zombies dropping feathers and fire spreading forever.. oh, and debug towers for stronholds. edit, you mentioned some seeds but I can't belive you didn't mention 404 (challenge) or "gargamel" which was my favorite

I never played on pc until 1.6.4 but it's amazing how much of this I remember simply from experiencing the Xbox 360 edition port by 4J Studios of minecraft beta 1.6.6 I think the first update I really remember was TU3 when they added pistons My first true survival experience was on one of those fully snow worlds that generated occasionally and I remember living on a frozen lake and building a 2x3 simple piston door because I was still scared of the mobs So much nostalgia I wish I could revisit those worlds just to see them again

Back in early days I used to build a mountain base with my friends. Good times.

I’m 20 minutes in and this makes me miss the feeling Minecraft used to give me. The old sounds and music really makes me miss old school Minecraft. P.S. I’m still afraid to run over my farms.

12:03 I remember when Zombie Villagers had no spawn egg, you had to use a regular Zombie egg and getting a Zombie Villager would be rare

I still build my base in a mountain. It just feels right to me. Also I remember SO MUCH THAT YOU MENTIONED. I remember the fast world generating, the cave sounds, the animals appearing, the Nether being so pathetic at the time, the weird Skeletons, the blacksmiths, the farmland getting ruined, the yellow flower, Mods and Texture Packs, Herobrine, the Temple of Notch, no hunger bar, the amazing power and speed of bows, no stackling food, the door sound, punching sheep for wool, the old hurt sound, no sprinting, the bed attack, old creative mode, pig being food only, staring creepers, the old explosion sounds, the rose, TooManyItems (never actually used it though), no beds, I as the inventory key, old gravel, feather zombies, YOGSCAST (I still watch them and go back to that series when I feel nostalgic), punching TNT, Achievements, body just disappearing, spam clicking the sword (I still am mad), fire spreading, sword blocking, the old lava texture, thw only wood planks being oak, chunk errors (never encountered them myself), the golden apple crafting, non-toggle brightness, exposed dungeons, annoyingly rare cookies, OP bonemeal, Testificate!, endgame diamonds, no recipe book, max build height 140 blocks, bouncy animals, old Minecraft launchers, the workbench, stairs to blocks issue, gravel pathways in villages, no shift click, no upsidendown or corner stairs, old Mojang logo, pulling down while drowning, pig spawner in multiplayer, old water sounds, old commands, village torch lamps, random lakes in deserts, terrible skeleton aim, o ly red collar colors and no nametags, old now and arrow sounds. Another one, Ghasts were weak to lava and fire. Just remembering a Ghast taking fire damage while floating into a lava fall and SCREAMING EACH TIME IT TOOK DAMAGE AND DIED is still ingrained in my memory.
