Actually it hadn't occurred to me before I saw this thread but yes, I actually remember the first shelter that I made in this game more than 6 years ago
I feel slightly more autistic now

Yes.
I fell for all the hype and bought it while it was in alpha, before it even had endless worlds.
I spawned in on a small island with a forest in a premade and shitty wooden hut with 2 torches and no idea what I was doing.
I eventually made my own bigger hut in the center of the island and hid inside it at night.
Everything went wrong when I decided to save it, because when I reloaded it a creeper that was standing on the roof of my small hut fell through it and exploded, killing me instantly.
This happened every time I tried to load.
And that was my first night.

Ye
Back on the alpha browser survival
Made a crude mob grinder Sup Forums taught me to do and died after it got clogged and mobs began to spawn inside the basement

For some reason i can't seem to enjoy MC anymore
I spend hours thinking about the kind of roleplay i want to play, search and load up mods after testing compatibilities and so on, then lose the drive to play and uninstall to repeat everything a couple of months later
What happened to me?

>What happened to me?
it's not you, it's the game itself. It gets tedious once you know how it works, but what really killed it was the "adventure update" (beta 1.8) which made the whole game immensely more tedious - mostly due to the addition of hunger, but this was also when pointless grindshit like enchanting and (shortly after) potions were added. I personally could never really get into survival anyway, though, I always preferred building shit and messing with redstone

I dug a hole and stayed there all night whilst I waited for the zombies to leave. As the sun was rising they suddenly burst into flames. The one standing outside of my hidey hole dropped a feather. At the time I had thought that it was a sword or something. Then I climbed the tallest hill I could find and built a castle made of dirt on it.
I definitely miss the alpha days.

Some day I should just download the alpha and see if it's as good as I had remembered it.

You're absolutely right
1.8 was about the time i stopped playing for fun

I stopped playing once they changed how you could rapid fire shoot the bows.

I believe that was also the "adventure update" beta 1.8. That update really did ruin everything, a lot of people stopped playing survival or even mc entirely from that point.

>they removed the fucking sanic minecart glitches and replaced them with boring booster tracks
Why must all fun things die

Used to spend hours with my friends just building bases and exploring.
Sometimes I wish that I could wipe my memory of this game just so that I can experience it for the first time all over again.

Vaguely. I went into the water pretty much as soon as I had the materials I needed and haven't been back to the surface since.

It's always the games that offer the most liberty that show their limits the fastest.

Do you remember John Jackson?

You know that you can always install the alpha/ beta versions from the launcher still.

on my first game I joined a Sup Forums server and got bullied while walking around trying to figure out basic crafting recipes

Legorobot pls go.

Why is Minecraft always associated with retarded children?
Why did Minecraft fan base choose to rot?

Same thing with GMOD
Kids watched youtubers play and took over.

Everytime I see Minecraft got some new update, I try it out. Only to be reminded within 15 minutes why I quit.

We got bored and left, so children filled the vacuum.
I blame streamers.

>bullied on Sup Forums server
That's Sup Forums for you, angry cunts, but smart ones and your bros.

I don't know why you included me in this as I already stated I don't like survival anyway. I certainly wouldn't want to play it in singleplayer, either.
you mean autistic children, user?
I guess it's because the game becomes habitual, and people on the spectrum tend to like things that are repetitive and familiar, but I'm just speculating. The game got big though through youtubers, as said - probably the biggest being yogscast.

fugggg I miss pre-adventure update days.

Yup
Yogscast basically pioneered Minecraft's success. They were among the first, at least

Yeah, this. I've dumped thousands of hours into this game, three hours today even, but I haven't touched survival since 1.8. For me it's just digital legos at this point.

I dug into the side of a valley and tried farming inside because I had no idea about the prerequisites for it. It's a shame they fucked up the original terrain generation, now instead of interesting formations you get boring plains with the occasional mountains and endless rainforests.

I remember getting swindled

Don't bring that filth into here

guess what?
this was also because of "adventure update" beta 1.8 sorry for repeating myself I just really hate that version for how much it ruined the game

This game proves that reading info about a game is a valuable thing to do
>dev states that he's essentially creating the game at his own pace, won't release it until it's done

>has large amounts of progress posted on his twitter
>doesn't update/patch the game ever

He enjoys your suffering

You know, I'm looking forward to playing this finished game in like 8 years after having bought it more than 5 years ago
It'll be like past me buying future me a gift

No multiplayer support, no legacy mods available

I'm still convinced it's all an elaborate ruse

That's a great way to look at it, user

People still play it.

It's weird.

>No multiplayer support.
I'm sure I could find the old server files if I wanted to.
Just loaded up Alpha 1.1.2, I'm currently experiencing 1.21 Kilonewtons of nostalgia.

I remember it took me day to design and make mob farm in survival, and then it turned out you have to be certain distance from it for mobs to spawn, and even then spawns were so shit it much easier to manually kill them at night.

>Sweden (Calm 3)
Fuck, that song is the soul essence of Minecraft. Back when there was no hunger bar, but only hunger for discovery and adventure. This tune is somewhat melancholy, exploring what seemed to be an endless world alone, but also had those sections that could be seen as the high points when you'd be out and about. Then that last section when you had found the perfect spot to build your home, possibly on top of a hill near the sea, and the music fades as the sun sets.

Call me a faggot all you want but this game was great at the time. That first year of Minecraft, including the alpha and beta were some of my fondest memories with the game. And now I haven't enjoyed that game in years.

The videos about updates he posts on his twitter make the game seem really nice.
Shame we'll never see any of it in the next 20 years.

I do actually. I dug into the side of a hill and turned it into shelter for the night. The somber mellow music gave me amplified my depression as it gave me the feeling of being alone in the world (which it did really well).

I miss when the grass and leaves were that color.

Repeat it as much as you want, I hate it too. I remember a particularly crazy world I got once that had these huge mountains with gigantic overhangs like the ones from Xenoblade Chronicles, so I made a house dangling on the underside of one of them. Of course I never found anything like that again without mods after the adventure update. I really miss playing this game but even when I go back to previous versions it's not the same.

Why did they have to go and change the soundtrack? This game is like runescape, i always drop it and am aware of how shit its getting but can't drop it for more than a few months.

No, I've played minecraft before music and day-night cycle

pretty sure they haven't actually removed any tracks, they just added more to it. I like the soundtrack a lot, even the newer tracks - probably the only aspect they didn't ruin.

Yes. I remember playing it in alpha back when it was first getting around on Sup Forums. I remember building a little house on an island where across the water on the shore there was a dark cave facing my home. It was still new and mostly empty, no towns or NPCs or anything like that, so it was really eerie being completely and totally alone like that.

There is nothing wrong with survival update.
This game is made with multiple players in mind, so one does food production, another mines, another builds, another does netherworld.
Of course when you do all 4 simultaneously it sucks.

>This game is made with multiple players in mind

t. 12 years old

>tfw you still have the very first map you spawned into with the entire village you built with it

I tend to load back in and wander the deserted village every now and then. Just makes me feel even more lonely.

>tfw you try to insult someone but just look dumb instead

He's not wrong, it was just Notch's inability to code that made him take quite some time with adding multiplayer to survival. The classic and Infiniminer were aimed at multiplayer, so it was natural for survival to have multiplayer eventually.

I wish that I still had my first maps.
That would be amazing.

>Suddenly out of the depths of my mind remember my Minecraft world
>not my first and definitely not my last
>but the one I can actually call mine after spending months building stuff and updating with each new version
It fucking hurts. Why didn't I keep the save anywhere on my laptop. I am actually in shambles.

now that's what I call autism

I remember buying Minecraft and thinking it had a story mode. Once I learned it did not, it was like being stuck in a bad dream until I could justify no longer playing it

I bought it twice because I thought the PS4 version had actual goals

I remember years ago when I still had friends and social life. I would come home tired, boot up MC and get comfy in my house. For some reason almost always the Sweden song played. I want those times back

There's no justification for you being a dumbass. By the time PS4 version was out it was pretty clear what kind of game Minecraft is

I remember when I used to make graves for myself every time I died. Was in a big tomb out in the ocean.

My house was the best thing ever too. I wish I still had the game and world so I could finish those expansions.

>oars
What the fuck?

I remember when people were clamoring for stuff like sea monsters and people would make troll posts about finding sea monsters or other crazy shit like it was a secret part of whatever update Notch put out for the alpha and nobody else has seen it yet.

Did he ever put anything in the ocean besides the squids?

i do

i remember my first emergency dirt shelter, a hole in the ground.

i also remember playing with a bunch of random strangers who i can call my friends.

The goals of the game are in the fucking title

>built a little hobbit hole inside a dirt hill
>had a little farm on the second floor
>made levers for the door
>~Casa de user~ sign on the door
>only found one diamond ever on that singleplayer world because I never looked up a single resource
>had three seperate houses
>Hobbit house, treehouse, and villa
>Treehouse is a secondary base if I came up from mining and it's the middle of the night and I wasn't kitted to fight
>Villa is my vacation spot over the mountain, "herded" sheep there
>Built a tunnel through the mountain to the villa
>built a glass floor with lava underneath in the hobbit hole
Alpha was comfy.
>squids get added
>add a fishtank to the hobbit hole

Remember it? I still have the fuckin picture.

I stopped playing MC when I realized how sucked the pc version compared to ps4 one and its paid addons with giant custom maps and skin packs.

Nope, but Jeb and Dinnerbone made a shitty "you have to grind THIS hard to continue" Structure filled with mobs called Guardians, which have ranged attacks and are stupidly difficult to deal with because bows aren't supposed to be good underwater and you'll never get close enough to hit them.
Jeb himself recommended you save them for when you grind hard enough that all of your Diamond Armor has the best enchantments possible, so that alone should give you an idea of what kind of shitshow you're in for.

First thing I built was an aqueduct.

>inb4 mac

I ditched it a long time ago and upgraded to a proper PC.

Anybody want to hear the story of the Maybe Notch, Maybe an Imposter?

years later, but still

i got to play with and pester markus and logan and pick their brains on what they were going to do, the were in way over their heads and had no idea what they were going to add or do, so in a way, people like you might have inspired them to add those things.

Ah whatever, I'll tell it anyway. It's an autismblocks thread so I guess I can be autistic.

Once I got a car and could actually spend time with my friends I drifted away as well, I miss that server though. I was a mod into I used puppeteering commands to make people do stupid shit over /me. To be fair I was a young, impish mage, so it wasn't too out of character for me to do that.

You're right, it was a great update. Now one less person can have fun!

yes, that is an israphel skin.

and so is this

Fuck dude, the old knight/templar dude... it's been so long I've forgotten all the names except for like Granny Bacon.
Now that I'm a lot better at roleplaying I want to go find a small RP server and go have some fun, does anything like that even exist anymore or is the roleplay community now just a bunch of large servers?

i have no idea, i never was much into the rp outside of being a generic npc for friends. I mainly stick to my autism containment holes.

Did they make the oceans smaller I remember me and my friend felt like conquistadors crossing a fuck huge like 20 minute or something ocean (Maybe not that big it was a while ago) only to come across some really nice cliffs and trees

But it wasn't a braindead letsplay. I remember there being a story about sand and a ghost or some shit. And then a YogLabs.

...

>Shadow of Israphel
It was really something.

...

Not really. My memory is pretty shit.

But this reminds me of the network tests with notch that had those massive chunks missing.

my account number is 144 (or 143 i don't remember since i stopped playing a long long time ago)

Minecraft was so full of promise back then, fuck.

Same here. Still can't believe it's been 6 fucking years. What wouldn't i do to come back to that time.

Minecraft is still a good game in it's current state and all patches 1.6 and on are 200% better than alpha, beta, or early release patches could ever be, it's the cancerous autism that permeates the community that makes it insufferable to play or be associated with.

Jesus Christ fuck off

Mad?

Imagine being trapped in the world of minecraft for eternity.

You wouldnt be able to kill yourself.

The game never got bad, we just got too good
That's how I always see it. I can load up a new world right now and have a cool house built into a mountain and a set of diamond gear within an hour or so simply because I know the tricks already after years. The game gets repetitive no matter what new mobs or biomes get added since at the end of the day you just mine and build.

enclosing myself in a dirt mound, crying away my single lasting heart because I didn't know what to do

You might be right.
But just in case you're not, I added two mods to the current version of the game that reverts the combat overhaul and disables hunger. Plus I got rid of biome colors.

Yes, the game gets repetitive. It's designed to specifically feed off of your creativity and it can be difficult to do something that's not been done before. But that doesn't necessarily make the game bad.


But it's the kids that the coach of a soccer team lets name their own team that ruin it for everyone so to speak.

Ive seen at least 2 teams name their YMCA team the "The Ender dragons" or "The Creeper Crew" and it just makes me really sad user.

I remember i ised to badger the mall people to give me creeper marshmalloes

Marshmalloes are dope user, doesn't matter what's shape they're in.

As long as you weren't wearing any of the cringe merch we should be alright.

I tried coming back to kraut server, but I'm too lazy to build things alone again and too lazy to join factions and participate in politics and wars, the life of a merchant was good when there were people to sell things to.
