What did you like the most about old minecraft?

I never played the original alpha minecraft. Tell me what you liked best.

@minecraft

Getting lost in caves and not even thinking about digging straight up to get out again. Back when survival first came out. I remember when the game was just dirt and flowers.

Logging onto my web browser and building in a server full of friendly people.

And then in solo survival, the feeling that the game was something so brand new and revolutionary. Once in a generation opportunity. I felt so lucky.

I believe your talking about https://classic.minecraft.net/.

It still works, but without multiplayer.

For me Beta 1.7.3 was perfect. No hunger, no XP, no magic/enchanting. It was a game about surviving and building cool shit. These days I play the Better than Adventure mod for that version which keeps the same feeling while adding some nice new features

definitely this sort of “lonely” feel that the old versions have because structures used to be rare and isolated

i also like how beta minecraft feels a whole lot more relaxing and laid back compared to modern minecraft, where i feel constantly rushed to enslave villagers and kill the ender dragon and get the elytra and get all the sharpness 357 fortune 77348 netherite tools in only 100 dAyS hArDcOrE as if i was another one of those dumb minecraft youtubers with mrbeast editing that are everywhere nowadays or a wealthy capitalist that only cares about exploiting the everliving fuck out of everyone and everything

oh yeah,and nights used to be an actual threat before sprinting was added, that was cool too

I know he wasn’t technically in the game, but I really miss the on-edge feeling of Herobrine possibly lurking around any corner of my world, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. My fear brought me to deleting my first ever PC world in 2015 when I started having pumpkins mysteriously appear on the roof of my house; random wood blocks from my roof disappearing, and the front door opening without explanation: The pumpkins can be explained by Endermen, but I do admit that it’s strange that it kept happening every night; but the door part… that was just plain creepy, because not only did I make sure that I didn’t leave it open, but I actually heard the door-opening sound effect once or twice on a couple of nights when I hopped into my bed… no mob in the game can open doors (Zombies can break doors in hard mode, but not open them; I wasn’t playing on hard.

I know Herobrine never existed, but that part I’ve truly never understood. It was on the world seed 426 on version 1.8.1. The reason I know the seed is because I found a screenshot of the world select screen years later, and in it was a world named ‘426’; which reminded me that the world was named after the seed.
