For me it was the mystery of the whole game and all that was unknown at the time. Back then, you had to watch others explain the game and lookup crafting recipes to know what you were doing. I remember being absolutely scared of mobs (mind you, I was like 27/28 at the time) and making tunnels for protection. At that time, the only naturally generated structure was a dungeon and the first time I came across those, it freaked me the hell out since I know that I didn’t put that cobble there and then I got struck by an arrow (skeleton spawner) and ran tf back out of that cave. You have to imagine, at that point, all I saw was nature and no signs of any other civilization or anything and to see that shocked me.

I was hooked, notch definitely created a goldmine.
