I started playing Minecraft in 2014, when I was still in elementary school. I remember being too scared to play survival out of peaceful mode, building Diamond houses and floating cities with serious villager overpopulation problems in creative. I got the official Minecraft guides, decided ocelots were my favorite animal, and begged my mom for merchandise (usually she said no) More recently I remember joining my friends realms, building houses together, fighting elder guardians, mining for diamonds. Looking back on Minecraft’s past is not only nostalgic but also inspiring. It’s incredible how timeless this game is, how even 10 years later it’s still going strong. When playing Minecraft now there is that sort of feeling that I’m lacking something, some charm that the old game had. But I don’t think that really has anything to do with updates or anything like that. I think it’s just me growing up. And while it can be sad, I’m ok with it. I’m glad I was able to grow up with a game that fostered my creativity and my interests.
Some of us have something special we did that changed how we saw the world or discovered about ourselves when we were young. Now you gotta go and figure out how to win at life ha. Maybe get a family, move to another country or just make a small change in life
The game lost the same incredible feeling once I learned almost everything about the game. Figuring stuff out and learning was always why I stuck with a game. But recently I'm actually feeling creative so I've been playing a survival island with a couple friends. We're having a blast. A feeling I haven't felt in a long long time with how shit gaming is nowadays
Don’t want to be that guy but considering you only played it after the full game was released this video should not make you feel nostalgic at all 😂 you wouldn’t know half the stuff in this video because most of it is about it being indev which you weren’t around for
I remember the day the Pocket Edition Demo first came out. Me and my friends took turns playing it on my phone during break. It is crazy to think that this game has come this far, and I am still playing to this day.
went from pocket to edition to the first rendition of minecraft xbox 360 and now i’m playin on pc with mods and stuff and to look at vanilla minecraft is crazy. they added so much shit in the 10-12 yrs i’ve been playing
I remember 20 year old me reading an article about minecraft in a magazine, in 2012 at my doctor's office. I remember thinking how cool it looked. I had no idea how pivotal minecraft actually was at the time. That was ten freaking years ago, man time really flies.
I was 19 at the time and I remember watching my brother (who was 17) playing Minecraft before I knew what it was and thinking "why is he digging a big hole? this looks kind of boring". But then he actually showed me what the game was about, started to playing it myself and became instantly hooked. It has been my favorite game ever since. I still play with him at least once a week.
Documentaries are always awesome, and I especially love this one. The simple editting and the voiceover is perfect and it’s enjoyable both when watching and when sleeping.
Coming from an old school minecraft player, the idea of buying a game in it's early stages of development to see it through came from minecraft. It was a fresh weird new concept.
It was definitely popularized by minecraft, but in the indie scene back then, it was all word of mouth and small communities circled around a dev with an interesting project. Occasionally a breakout hit would happen and transcend the little community that surrounded it and achieve greater success. Remember Cave Story?
too underrated. i was actually shocked at the small number of views and likes this has! i hope your channel becomes successful because this video is just so good
I started playing Minecraft in Alpha 1.2, the possibilities were endless with my first experience. Now looking back while I still play on 1.19, I enjoyed all the simpler times of crafting, building and mining. Absolute nostalgia seeing old versions again. ❤️
Personally, I loved the simplicity but everything they've added feels so unique and fun that i dont mind all the updates. People have such a hard time getting into the game now with it being so complex though. Im glad I experienced the updates 1 by 1 so that i never lost track of everything lol.
The events are stated as they did unfold in reality - there isn't any attempt to try and form a connection between each and every decision, a connection which actually might not even be there. The world is too random. There are far too many parameters to even consider, and trying to fit a story to explain why what happened, actually happened, would be a naive. This isn't just an example of how a documentary should be made, but indeed how history should be told and the way it should be looked at. Thank you for the effort that you put in to create this beautiful video.
Thanks! That means a lot. I could say the same for your channel. My wife and I are big fans of theme park channels, so yours is right up our alley. I hope to see you upload again. Thanks again for the comment.
Your channel is severely underrated compared to all the effort you put in your videos! I just wanna tell you that your videos are awesome and yout efforts are so appreciated!
Probably one of the best videos I’ve seen on the history of Minecraft. I started playing in 2012-13 when it came out for console. Couldn’t afford the whole game, so we had a blast in the 30 minute TU9 tutorial world. You better believe I knew the moment you came into the village you could find iron and diamonds at the beginning of the pathway. I spend an absurd amount of hours trying to get as much done in that 30 minute world as I could. Or explore with what little time I had.
I started playing during beta. I actually played for 3-4 hours today. I don't always go to Minecraft. Only when my days been stressed, I'm depressed, or anxious. Building on a fresh seed after a quick RUclips search for what I want is such good therapy. Today I played on a snow mountain biome with tons of sculk. I feel better even thou my situation hasn't changed. I started playing with coworkers and my boss on Xbox. Thanks Notch, simplest happiest part of my life
I literally played before the hunger bar brooo omg I wanna cry. I love this game. Hate to see it in the weird state it’s in now, but still. Gahhh warms my ❤️
Jesus Christ, this is such an underrated video and it deserves more views; the effort and time that went into this is amazing. I hope nothing but success comes to you.
This is so cool and intresting! It’s crazy how I’ve played Minecraft since 2011 and still didn’t know any of this! This video was super helpful and is super underrated because this video is filled with important information that was easy to understand. Thank you for making this video!
Ikr?? i come back every 2 years or so and theres always so much new stuff to see! I still see horses and hay blocks as a brand new feature, so this video was a bit of a shock lol
I've been playing this game since maybe 2011 (off and on) and I've put a ton of time into it over the years, and I'm still baffled by how many blocks, creatures, and biomes I have never seen. Never found a blaze fortress, despite searching for one for a long time.
I find it really satisfying how "this one tweet would change the course of everything" right before the part about Notch leaving Mojang was said just as the 1-hour mark of this video came
The deication this video has to all the research and the editing is astounding. Not to mention how much nostalgia i felt seeing the older builds and storymode(even tho i didnt like it to much personally) cant wait for this video to get 1mil!
Started playing around 2011, I was 8 around that time and I’m now 18. I literally grew up on this game and it was by me through so many stages of life and I’m excited to see where I go as an adult
Man, Beta feels like yesterday. I remember convincing my Dad to buy it for me for my birthday not long after it went from Alpha to Beta and then, for Christmas, for him to buy it *again* but for my best friend whose family didn't have the money to buy it, so we could play together. My Christmas present was literally my friend getting Minecraft so I could play multiplayer with him lol. Setting up servers was a headache but we had such a good time.
I had the exact same experience. port forwarding those servers was such a nightmare. Another thing to note is minecraft gave us amazing computer literacy to the point where people come to me for tech support and everything i know is from minecraft mods lol.
I'm a huge fan of Minecraft as well as Terraria. They both have a really interesting history in their development. But my favorite easter egg in Minecraft happens to be in Terraria as well. On the title screen of Minecraft, you can sometimes get a message that says "Also try Terraria" But on the title screen of Terraria, you can get a message that says, "Also try Minecraft" Come on, that's just heartwarming
thank you for this. I still love the message that the game belongs to us, the player. I have played so many games, the only game that has come close to time invested where i feel like it is personalized is fallout new vegas and fallout 3. There is now so much lore that you can make in your own world together from the disks, the ruins, the monuments. This game helps me stay in contact and play with friends across the country. I am forever thankful for it.
"Hey do you want to play Minecraft?" my friend asked me in 2010. I wasn't new to the neighborhood, but I did have to move to a new house because of the housing market crash. Luckily, I still got to go to the same school, and the move only really got me to make new friends from the other side of our little desert town. Myself, at 10 years old then, had no idea what the heck a Minecraft was, but because my mom told me to go meet the neighbors I said yes. "Beta 1.8.0" was what the screen read when it installed for the first time, on my brand new laptop that my mom got me for Christmas, complete with a CD drive. "It's the last one I'm gonna get you, so you better make it last" Today, I realize just how much time has passed since then. Entering the 5th grade with Minecraft, a new laptop and new friends, some things have remained the same, and somethings are very VERY different. All my friends who used to live on this street have moved away. One is now a pilot, and another was just promoted to Sergeant in the Army. They live in vastly different places, Florida and Colorado aren't so far when you're a pilot, but for me in this Arizona home, these folks are plenty far away. It's weird though, the concept of constant in my life, sort of like Minecraft in a way. It's weird because things are so different. I have since graduated from college, but the first time I opened this game I was nervous trying to figure out how to sleep before trying out for my first little league baseball team. I have traveled to 38 of our 50 states, but I'm sitting in the same living room I first played the game in. Heck, I am waiting for a game to install on the world's most powerful gaming console as I type this, but I am typing this on that same laptop my mom got me, the one with the CD drive (I told her I'd make it last!). Now Minecraft is beyond version 1.8.0. Actually, it's passed that twice now, in beta, and the official release. Ever changing, yet ever constant. I sit in my travelled home, on my brand old laptop, playing Minecraft the night before I go back to coach my little league baseball team. Thank God for this game, I guess home really does come in many shapes and sizes. For me, home is a two story in the Arizona desert, a rollercoaster of a power five college program (seriously, how can we have so many championships and be so incredibly bad at football and basketball!) and always will be a game on a laptop I got from my mom to meet my best friends.
I remember being introduced to Minecraft by a teacher somewhere in 2009 during the classic version of the game. I was building my first house but got annoyed when a bunch of sheep had decided to move in. I gave up on the house because it felt impossible to get rid of all the sheep. I still play the game to this day whenever I have time to do so.
Minecraft is one of my favorite games, i remember the time when you couldn't sprint and i am so glad that it's posible now. this documentary was so good, keep going! from: a swedish minecraft player.
still feels weird I was born literally like 2-3 months before Minecraft. (No not 2011, 2009.) considering the luck of being alive at the exact same time as Minecraft became alive, you can imagine how much time I spent watching People like DanTDM and Stampy play the game, and how much nostalgia from like 10 years ago that I got from this video.
As all the other people here im suprised this video doesnt even have 100k views! I rarely watch videos over 1 hour (let alone complete watching them) but i watched this video completely in 2 hours because this video was amazing! The video also seems more "serious" than other minecraft documentaries as theres no inside jokes but its nice to have a break from those.
Excellent video. Very good! I first played Minecraft on PS Vita. Then Wii u and Xbox 360 and so on. So I've always played it on consoles and never on a PC. I've been a gamer since the 70s and I love Minecraft so much because I can enjoy it exactly as I choose. I went through lots of phases. Several years ago I was into making "roller coasters". Huge ones. Recently I went back to that. I may not be great at it....or even good at it but it doesn't matter I enjoy it and it's so relaxing and or a way to kill lots of hours in what seems like a blink of the eye. I have played countless hours over the years on different systems and have NEVER seriously tried survival mode. I could....I just don't because I enjoy other aspects. I also enjoy this weird thing where I try to reproduce TV homes so in one world the Partridge Family, Brady Bunch, Addams Family, all live nearby with the Cheers Bar and the hospital from St Elsewhere. And that's the magic. No one else probably built that stuff together but I did and even if it isn't perfect I enjoy it and it's just a super happy feel good awesome game for anyone to enjoy their own way. I never minded rebuying it on different systems because it's just SO worth it. I currently enjoy it on Switch handheld mode and Xbox one for online stuff. I will agree it is indeed the best game ever because it is exactly how each person wants to enjoy it.
Very minor comment: on that April Fools Day 2.0 update, the TNT "Etho Slab" is a reference to youtuber EthosLab who was a popular minecraft youtuber at the time(and still is) Great video!
Great documentary. I’ll just say the mic peaks a ton which is a bit grating for a longer form video but that’s something that can be fixed. Otherwise super informative and I almost cried because of how Minecraft grew up with me and I grew up with it. Super cool stuff
this entire thing, just reminded me how long I've known about and played this game... and just how old I am 🤣 That being said this was a fantastic video thank you so much for taking the time to put this together! I remember paying $10 for my Minecraft account then college and stuff happened, and I didn't get back into it where I could actually play the different stuff, till right before Microsoft announced they bought it or whatever... and I needed to connect my two accounts lol I still had to buy a new copy of Minecraft though, didn't mind. This is my #1 chill game for that past... many many years. ;)
I LOVED this video, it gave me insight in things that I didn't know, or that i barely knew. It's honestly very complete and well done, you did an awesome job! Hope this gets more recognition
Love it, well done. Been playing since the very beginning , basically my childhood here, so many memories. Even at 29 now, Me and 10 others play on a realm, it just stuck in there like Skyrim lol
I was 9 or 10 when I discovered Minecraft and 11 or 12 when it was officially released and sold to Microsoft. It's totally insane to me that more than a decade later this game still has so much pull to multiple generations and that those first two years are considered like a "prologue" to the unrolling history of the game. I still think of the game that we first got addicted to with nonstacking food and the brand new nether and super rare slime caves.
I remember first playing Minecraft. It was the same week minecarts were introduced and it was wild. Experiments with tracks, launchers, pressure plates, and water streams really made everyone playing feel like part of a community.
I started minecraft when it was still in Alpha. Man I loved it but had no idea it was going to blow up like it was going to. Just turned 29 last week and going to revist it with my friends tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it. I didn't even realize how early I had started playing it.
2:53 Man bringing back memories. My first computer was a Commodore VIC-20 with 5K RAM. ;) Although I could have swore it only have 3K, but apparently the internet says history disagrees with me. It's that whole Mandela effect. Of course I also believe we have somehow traveled through a wormhole or something into another dimension where we are now living a different life than we once were. It's the only thing that can explain the insanity in the world right now. :P
What do you mean ocelots weren't added like two years ago. What do you mean it's been ten years. I feel SO OLD, I remember when Ocelots and horses were new, I swear it wasn't THAT long ago
I remember when Minecraft first came to the 360 in may 9th, it so happened to be my birthday and Minecraft was one of the gifts i got, it was the best gift i ever gotten, i still play the game today, i do miss the old days of Minecraft but i also like the current Minecraft
I started playing MC in 2014 back when it was added to PS3. Good times man. I still play MC to this day with friends. I build a server and we all play on it. It’s pretty awesome
I've spent more years playing this game than years without playing it. I can't believe with all these updates that it still feels fun and holds its core values. We dont give mojang enough credit for sticking to the original principles. It could have turned into a cash grab in so many ways but it still feels completely authentic (even with the controversial updates)
Imagine if Minecraft had been bought by EA? You would absolutely be able to pay real money for enchantments (and you'd find the best enchantments are VERY hard to acquire in-game without paying). You'd probably be able to buy diamonds, that almost goes without saying. In fact EA would probably have tried to charge players a block fee; a penny for each block placed or something ridiculous. EA would have killed Minecraft years ago, then simply moved on to their next victim. I think we can all be grateful to Mojang back then for not falling into that trap.
I have almost every version of minecraft mentioned in this video. I'm playing old xbox360 with NO updates right now, got my battery pack unplugged to save juice as I watch this video. Biggest noticable missing element is No Anvil, disaster. I've built monsters on PC, Mobile and Xbox. PE is super fun to have with me on the daily and I can't wait to see what comes next. RIP to the boys but business is business.

1:46:56 Why minecraft holds a special place in people's hearts
I started playing Minecraft in 2014, when I was still in elementary school. I remember being too scared to play survival out of peaceful mode, building Diamond houses and floating cities with serious villager overpopulation problems in creative. I got the official Minecraft guides, decided ocelots were my favorite animal, and begged my mom for merchandise (usually she said no) More recently I remember joining my friends realms, building houses together, fighting elder guardians, mining for diamonds.

@@majinklame1252 Then don't be that guy, that is not a fair reaction my friend
I like how Mojang essentially said to EA when they tried to buy Notch’s share:
We don’t want no devil loot boxes in this game
but Microsoft still added microtransactions = /
@@chriscofer6780yeah but at least it's optional. Quite ignorable imo.

Documentaries are always awesome, and I especially love this one. The simple editting and the voiceover is perfect and it’s enjoyable both when watching and when sleeping.

I downloaded Minecraft when it released in its alpha phase. Still love it to this day.
I started playing Minecraft in Alpha 1.2, the possibilities were endless with my first experience. Now looking back while I still play on 1.19, I enjoyed all the simpler times of crafting, building and mining.
Absolute nostalgia seeing old versions again. ❤️
Personally, I loved the simplicity but everything they've added feels so unique and fun that i dont mind all the updates. People have such a hard time getting into the game now with it being so complex though. Im glad I experienced the updates 1 by 1 so that i never lost track of everything lol.

If I love one thing, its hour long Documentaries of the History of a Game.

Agreed
Yes.
I was waiting for such complete and wonderful documentary since years.
Job VERY well done.
Your channel is severely underrated compared to all the effort you put in your videos! I just wanna tell you that your videos are awesome and yout efforts are so appreciated!
Probably one of the best videos I’ve seen on the history of Minecraft. I started playing in 2012-13 when it came out for console. Couldn’t afford the whole game, so we had a blast in the 30 minute TU9 tutorial world. You better believe I knew the moment you came into the village you could find iron and diamonds at the beginning of the pathway. I spend an absurd amount of hours trying to get as much done in that 30 minute world as I could. Or explore with what little time I had.
I started playing during beta. I actually played for 3-4 hours today. I don't always go to Minecraft. Only when my days been stressed, I'm depressed, or anxious. Building on a fresh seed after a quick RUclips search for what I want is such good therapy. Today I played on a snow mountain biome with tons of sculk. I feel better even thou my situation hasn't changed. I started playing with coworkers and my boss on Xbox. Thanks Notch, simplest happiest part of my life
This is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. Really, it's so well made, u went into every detail. It's been pleasure to watch/listen.
I can tell you put much effort into this and I can tell you this video deserves much more popularity
good job man
♥
uhhhh. how does this video only have 4.5k views??? this is pure quality! hoping your channel grows big!!
This was an awesome video. I hope the algorithm blesses this video so more people can see it.
I absolutely love this documentary. I was entertained the whole time so you did a great job.
dang this looks like a vid from a 500k channel amazing!
Thanks for the comment! It’s means a lot. Hopefully some day I will reach that milestone.
Frr
I literally played before the hunger bar brooo omg I wanna cry. I love this game. Hate to see it in the weird state it’s in now, but still. Gahhh warms my ❤️
Jesus Christ, this is such an underrated video and it deserves more views; the effort and time that went into this is amazing.
I hope nothing but success comes to you.
This is so cool and intresting! It’s crazy how I’ve played Minecraft since 2011 and still didn’t know any of this! This video was super helpful and is super underrated because this video is filled with important information that was easy to understand. Thank you for making this video!
Ikr?? i come back every 2 years or so and theres always so much new stuff to see! I still see horses and hay blocks as a brand new feature, so this video was a bit of a shock lol
Just finished watching the entire video! Amazing video, you really deserve more views! Have fun my guy, keep doing your great work!
I've been playing this game since maybe 2011 (off and on) and I've put a ton of time into it over the years, and I'm still baffled by how many blocks, creatures, and biomes I have never seen. Never found a blaze fortress, despite searching for one for a long time.
I find it really satisfying how "this one tweet would change the course of everything" right before the part about Notch leaving Mojang was said just as the 1-hour mark of this video came
The deication this video has to all the research and the editing is astounding. Not to mention how much nostalgia i felt seeing the older builds and storymode(even tho i didnt like it to much personally) cant wait for this video to get 1mil!
2.7k VIEWS? WHAT Youre so underrated, thank you for making this!
agreed
Started playing wheneve the 360 edition came out. Was never a HUGE fan but I definitely never stopped playing either. One of the best games ever made.
Started playing around 2011, I was 8 around that time and I’m now 18. I literally grew up on this game and it was by me through so many stages of life and I’m excited to see where I go as an adult
thats cool. i started in 2013 and now im 13 kek so yeah 10 years
I cannot believe the Phantom won the vote.
So underrated This channel needs more recognition crazy video I loved every second
Dude, This is so underrated.
Thanks! That means a lot
agreed
Man, Beta feels like yesterday. I remember convincing my Dad to buy it for me for my birthday not long after it went from Alpha to Beta and then, for Christmas, for him to buy it *again* but for my best friend whose family didn't have the money to buy it, so we could play together. My Christmas present was literally my friend getting Minecraft so I could play multiplayer with him lol. Setting up servers was a headache but we had such a good time.
I had the exact same experience. port forwarding those servers was such a nightmare. Another thing to note is minecraft gave us amazing computer literacy to the point where people come to me for tech support and everything i know is from minecraft mods lol.
I'm a huge fan of Minecraft as well as Terraria. They both have a really interesting history in their development. But my favorite easter egg in Minecraft happens to be in Terraria as well.
On the title screen of Minecraft, you can sometimes get a message that says "Also try Terraria"
But on the title screen of Terraria, you can get a message that says, "Also try Minecraft"
Come on, that's just heartwarming
yes
What an awesome documentary! I am stunned that you haven't gotten more recognition by now. Keep up the great work!
thank you for this. I still love the message that the game belongs to us, the player. I have played so many games, the only game that has come close to time invested where i feel like it is personalized is fallout new vegas and fallout 3. There is now so much lore that you can make in your own world together from the disks, the ruins, the monuments. This game helps me stay in contact and play with friends across the country. I am forever thankful for it.
"Hey do you want to play Minecraft?" my friend asked me in 2010. I wasn't new to the neighborhood, but I did have to move to a new house because of the housing market crash. Luckily, I still got to go to the same school, and the move only really got me to make new friends from the other side of our little desert town. Myself, at 10 years old then, had no idea what the heck a Minecraft was, but because my mom told me to go meet the neighbors I said yes.
"Beta 1.8.0" was what the screen read when it installed for the first time, on my brand new laptop that my mom got me for Christmas, complete with a CD drive. "It's the last one I'm gonna get you, so you better make it last"
Today, I realize just how much time has passed since then. Entering the 5th grade with Minecraft, a new laptop and new friends, some things have remained the same, and somethings are very VERY different. All my friends who used to live on this street have moved away. One is now a pilot, and another was just promoted to Sergeant in the Army. They live in vastly different places, Florida and Colorado aren't so far when you're a pilot, but for me in this Arizona home, these folks are plenty far away. It's weird though, the concept of constant in my life, sort of like Minecraft in a way. It's weird because things are so different. I have since graduated from college, but the first time I opened this game I was nervous trying to figure out how to sleep before trying out for my first little league baseball team. I have traveled to 38 of our 50 states, but I'm sitting in the same living room I first played the game in. Heck, I am waiting for a game to install on the world's most powerful gaming console as I type this, but I am typing this on that same laptop my mom got me, the one with the CD drive (I told her I'd make it last!). Now Minecraft is beyond version 1.8.0. Actually, it's passed that twice now, in beta, and the official release. Ever changing, yet ever constant. I sit in my travelled home, on my brand old laptop, playing Minecraft the night before I go back to coach my little league baseball team.
Thank God for this game, I guess home really does come in many shapes and sizes. For me, home is a two story in the Arizona desert, a rollercoaster of a power five college program (seriously, how can we have so many championships and be so incredibly bad at football and basketball!) and always will be a game on a laptop I got from my mom to meet my best friends.
this is really beautiful
One thing I'll always love about Minecraft is it was literally released on my 7th birthday 17/05/09. Still play it and I'm 20😅😅😅
I remember being introduced to Minecraft by a teacher somewhere in 2009 during the classic version of the game.
I was building my first house but got annoyed when a bunch of sheep had decided to move in. I gave up on the house because it felt impossible to get rid of all the sheep.
I still play the game to this day whenever I have time to do so.
Minecraft is one of my favorite games, i remember the time when you couldn't sprint and i am so glad that it's posible now.
this documentary was so good, keep going!
from: a swedish minecraft player.
still feels weird I was born literally like 2-3 months before Minecraft. (No not 2011, 2009.) considering the luck of being alive at the exact same time as Minecraft became alive, you can imagine how much time I spent watching People like DanTDM and Stampy play the game, and how much nostalgia from like 10 years ago that I got from this video.
Bro this video is so underrated... You deserve more subscribers!
I will do everything in my power to make this channel the most popular
dude, your video is the most informative i've ever seen about the story of Minecraft. Well done!
As all the other people here im suprised this video doesnt even have 100k views!
I rarely watch videos over 1 hour (let alone complete watching them) but i watched this video completely in 2 hours because this video was amazing!
The video also seems more "serious" than other minecraft documentaries as theres no inside jokes but its nice to have a break from those.
i miss notch tbh.
He is a based man
@@3dimitrije30?? he’s a fascist. Supporting people like that is so weird, please change and be normal.
@@3dimitrije30yikes, remember your digital footprint man
i dont :)
@@voomette_cool for you
Your channel makes great quality content, I'm sure your channel will grow and you will get many more views very soon!
I accidentally clicked on this video but I kept watching even I know most of the information. This is actually interesting. Great video!
This was executed amazing, I’m definitely subscribing keep up the content!!!❤❤❤
Excellent video. Very good! I first played Minecraft on PS Vita. Then Wii u and Xbox 360 and so on. So I've always played it on consoles and never on a PC. I've been a gamer since the 70s and I love Minecraft so much because I can enjoy it exactly as I choose. I went through lots of phases. Several years ago I was into making "roller coasters". Huge ones. Recently I went back to that. I may not be great at it....or even good at it but it doesn't matter I enjoy it and it's so relaxing and or a way to kill lots of hours in what seems like a blink of the eye. I have played countless hours over the years on different systems and have NEVER seriously tried survival mode. I could....I just don't because I enjoy other aspects. I also enjoy this weird thing where I try to reproduce TV homes so in one world the Partridge Family, Brady Bunch, Addams Family, all live nearby with the Cheers Bar and the hospital from St Elsewhere. And that's the magic. No one else probably built that stuff together but I did and even if it isn't perfect I enjoy it and it's just a super happy feel good awesome game for anyone to enjoy their own way. I never minded rebuying it on different systems because it's just SO worth it. I currently enjoy it on Switch handheld mode and Xbox one for online stuff. I will agree it is indeed the best game ever because it is exactly how each person wants to enjoy it.
amazing video, not what I was expecting to watch tonight but I'm glad I clicked on this!
Very minor comment: on that April Fools Day 2.0 update, the TNT "Etho Slab" is a reference to youtuber EthosLab who was a popular minecraft youtuber at the time(and still is)
Great video!
Great documentary. I’ll just say the mic peaks a ton which is a bit grating for a longer form video but that’s something that can be fixed. Otherwise super informative and I almost cried because of how Minecraft grew up with me and I grew up with it. Super cool stuff
this entire thing, just reminded me how long I've known about and played this game... and just how old I am 🤣 That being said this was a fantastic video thank you so much for taking the time to put this together!
I remember paying $10 for my Minecraft account then college and stuff happened, and I didn't get back into it where I could actually play the different stuff, till right before Microsoft announced they bought it or whatever... and I needed to connect my two accounts lol
I still had to buy a new copy of Minecraft though, didn't mind. This is my #1 chill game for that past... many many years. ;)
I LOVED this video, it gave me insight in things that I didn't know, or that i barely knew. It's honestly very complete and well done, you did an awesome job! Hope this gets more recognition
Love it, well done. Been playing since the very beginning , basically my childhood here, so many memories. Even at 29 now, Me and 10 others play on a realm, it just stuck in there like Skyrim lol
I was 9 or 10 when I discovered Minecraft and 11 or 12 when it was officially released and sold to Microsoft. It's totally insane to me that more than a decade later this game still has so much pull to multiple generations and that those first two years are considered like a "prologue" to the unrolling history of the game. I still think of the game that we first got addicted to with nonstacking food and the brand new nether and super rare slime caves.
this is bringing back memories.
minecraft isn't a video game. it's a hobby.
Gaming is a hobby
I remember first playing Minecraft. It was the same week minecarts were introduced and it was wild. Experiments with tracks, launchers, pressure plates, and water streams really made everyone playing feel like part of a community.
I started minecraft when it was still in Alpha. Man I loved it but had no idea it was going to blow up like it was going to. Just turned 29 last week and going to revist it with my friends tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it. I didn't even realize how early I had started playing it.
This needs wayy more recognition
i love this video, they should show this documentary in history classes in schools, and it just brings back so much nostalgia! :)
It's crazy how this amazing video didn't get more views
"Hey, can I interview you?"
"Sure, would you like to work for us? "
"Sure"
I love how I’ve been able to see Minecraft grow into what it is today and watch as it continues to grow and new things added to it.
2:53 Man bringing back memories. My first computer was a Commodore VIC-20 with 5K RAM. ;) Although I could have swore it only have 3K, but apparently the internet says history disagrees with me. It's that whole Mandela effect. Of course I also believe we have somehow traveled through a wormhole or something into another dimension where we are now living a different life than we once were. It's the only thing that can explain the insanity in the world right now. :P
47: 54, 2012 is when I have my earliest memories of anything Minecraft I would think and do think and I know for sure in 2013 I knew what it was
I started playing minecraft in May 2021. I mainly play on my tablet and I love it!
Can't believe I waited so long. Definitely worth it!
I'm planning on making a texture pack but I haven't started yet
I just started lol
Damn I started playing in 2011 when I was 7 and now I just turned 18, this game changed my life also damn I’m old
needs way more views. this is so underrated.
I first played Minecraft in 2012 with the release of the Xbox 360 edition and man that summer was the best time playing Minecraft with all my friends
What do you mean ocelots weren't added like two years ago. What do you mean it's been ten years. I feel SO OLD, I remember when Ocelots and horses were new, I swear it wasn't THAT long ago
I remember when Minecraft first came to the 360 in may 9th, it so happened to be my birthday and Minecraft was one of the gifts i got, it was the best gift i ever gotten, i still play the game today, i do miss the old days of Minecraft but i also like the current Minecraft
I remember getting the pocket edition version back in either 2011 or 2012
Loved the game to death, here I am now 19 and I still play Minecraft lol😊
Holy crap!!! That was awesome! Nice work bro!
I loved this! Great video! Your pronunciation of Wrocław was funny and cute as hell too xdd
I started playing MC in 2014 back when it was added to PS3. Good times man. I still play MC to this day with friends. I build a server and we all play on it. It’s pretty awesome
Notch sounds like my boss... When things are going well he gives us a lot of bonuses
Such an amazing video! The ending is so on point I love it :) Minecraft is never-ending
Thank you very much for this video. Well researched and offers an in-depth insight into the early period of Mojang.
I've spent more years playing this game than years without playing it. I can't believe with all these updates that it still feels fun and holds its core values. We dont give mojang enough credit for sticking to the original principles. It could have turned into a cash grab in so many ways but it still feels completely authentic (even with the controversial updates)
this is a movie
Get more recognition. This channel should have many more views and likes. Hope everyone has a fantastic day.
C418 is the greatest musician of our generation. No doubt
Dang 32k views for a video that required so much hard work. Definitely deserves more
I love Notch and miss his influence
He was the heart and soul of that game.
This is a great video with excellent research. One note I have is to watch videos or listen to podcasts for pronunciation references.
Just now seeing this and wow, can’t believe I was late on this, keep up the great work!
Omg i can't imagine what it will like if EA games bought minecraft
Thank goodness they didn’t sell it to EA. We would have had to pay for each world on each device 😭
Imagine if Minecraft had been bought by EA?
You would absolutely be able to pay real money for enchantments (and you'd find the best enchantments are VERY hard to acquire in-game without paying). You'd probably be able to buy diamonds, that almost goes without saying. In fact EA would probably have tried to charge players a block fee; a penny for each block placed or something ridiculous.
EA would have killed Minecraft years ago, then simply moved on to their next victim. I think we can all be grateful to Mojang back then for not falling into that trap.
Wooooow, I had no idea Jeb helped make Cobalt! The online Flash era of games was so cool and so much more influential than people give it credit for.
I started playing when the Xbox 360 edition came out! I miss those days tbh. I switched to Java edition in 2014 and still play it!
how come this video has little views?? it deserves more tbh
I have almost every version of minecraft mentioned in this video. I'm playing old xbox360 with NO updates right now, got my battery pack unplugged to save juice as I watch this video. Biggest noticable missing element is No Anvil, disaster. I've built monsters on PC, Mobile and Xbox. PE is super fun to have with me on the daily and I can't wait to see what comes next. RIP to the boys but business is business.
This is amazing content. Well put together documentary. Nice work
