Why Is Minecraft So Nostalgic?

- Minecraft: Throughout the game's lifetime, Mojang has certainly refined it into one of the most nostalgic games of all time. But it's bizarre, how could Mojang have possibly engineered the game into a masterpiece that makes you yearn for the great past you once experience on the game? Did Mojang develop and refine the game with the intention of inducing maximum nostalgia - A slightly different strategy to keep players returning after many years? In this video - I attempt to answer the question: Why is Minecraft so Nostalgic?
Thank you guys for watching, like and sub if you enjoyed, Sunny XO ❤
Minecraft is a perfect game. You feel alone, but it's a good feeling of being alone. It's peaceful, calming, and relaxing.
Thanks, Mojang and most importantly C418. You made my childhood legendary.
Minecraft is a perfect game, and i very agree with your comment
you sure it's minecraft and not terraria?
@@Placeholder-lowercasen-ame yes
And cave sounds just had to ruin it lol
Terraria and Minecraft are both very nostalgic games with many memories
someone once said: "you will never quit minecraft, you're just gonna take a long break from it."
True it's 2016 I feel minecraft too old for me until 2018 I got back at 2019 And I feel were making memories we just having fun
True.
I didn’t quit I left for 3 years
100% true
one day you will place your last block
Imagine being able to visit your first ever created world
🥲
İ just visited my first ever created world from my very very old computer even windows 7 opening... Everything were nostalgic my dog... He were waiting for me... For 13 years...
I still can and play on it daily.
Oh my
@@evade_noobofficial lucky
Literally as soon as the Minecraft music plays I immediately get a strong emotional reaction within mere seconds. Minecraft’s extremely nostalgic through its music mainly.
C418 did a good job
Ye
fr i was about to say the most nostalgic thing is the music
@@ARC-77 True i miss him
Dun… dun dun
Just imagine when you're at the end of your life, and this soundtrack starts playing for the first time in 50+ years. Imagine the tears
Already crying, “Thank you, for freeing my soul, bringing me to peace.” Is what I would say.
My brain would probably shut down from all the emotions. A decent way to go imo
I would have depression and seek therapy because of all that nostalgia
Lol just like this guy ruclips.net/video/p42ZvRcMtog/видео.html
I wouldn’t say I’m too old for Minecraft. I’m in my mid thirties but this is how I feel about Final Fantasy 7 to about 10… and maybe Morrowind as well.
I think what makes it so nostalgic is that when playing the game urself u feel alone in this huge world and with a calming quite sad background music that only strengthens the feeling of loneliness. As a 7 year old it was so calming to play and explore the world and just relax after a long day of school. It was something special that I had to myself. I didn’t need to focus on other people or problems in my real life. I just played with no care in the world. It was something that I really enjoyed and looked forward to playing every day after school.
I hope this game never dies out
Exactly
It will never die.
@@chaoticrin I don’t know if it ever will die out. No matter what happens. It’s just too big of a game
@@toontales2479 Facts spoken, a like given.
@@toontales2479 plus it’s only like 500 mb and practically any gaming machine and phone can run it. I think that’s the best power it has, almost anyone can play it with they’re current console or phone.
I think Minecraft is so nostalgic because it has been around for such a long time and it holds a lot of memories for so many people. It's a game that has been with us through different stages of our lives and has a lot of replay value, so it's easy to go back to it and relive those memories. It's also a game that's very easy to pick up and play and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
i hate nostalgia, but i cant help but want to feel it
Yea, it is a sort of love-hate thing. On one hand, it does feel great to have something good to remember. But on another, it then starts making you long for it; to long for a past you cannot get back
Someone once said that nostalgia is the best feeling as well as the worst feeling a human being can handle.
i feel like im drawn to it because its a meaningful feeling that i try to search in the present or future as well
@@GamerGod-fp1tjyeah idk about anyone else but for me it's kinda addictive because it brings back nice memories but also I like the feeling of being sad which is kinda weird lol but you knw
the song legit gives me shivers up my spine due to how nostalgic it is for me. The music was perfect, the community was perfect, everything was perfect...
Yep good old times
was
Yes. I cry when I hear it because it is so nostalgic because I was a minecraft fanatic back then, and I would play with my sister. I remember pretending to be Herobrine to scare here by chugging an invis and putting on chain mail. I also built a giant wooden house which she accidentally burnt down, and I stopped playing for so long because I couldn’t bear to look at the game after that. Big contributor.
there's no such thing as perfect, only your memories are hiding the unlikable things
@@applem5192 some of the unlikable things is when a creeper blew up in your house in a room with chests lol
It all started as this tiny block game. Now A giant Cave update is happening and Steve is in the biggest gaming crossover.
Steve is now in Smash and everyone was pissing their pants when that happened
Minecraft is not like the game that i normally play, everything in Minecraft is great, the soundtrack, sound effects, art style is so fascinating for me as a child and no one can disagree
Smb
"Biggest gaming crossover" wtf are you smoking
@@SneakoV2 I can sense that a reply thread is going to happen
@@themackie2763 I'm genuinely curious as to what that guy was smoking when he typed that
I was a huge Stampy fan back in the day and remembering watching him just gives me so much more joy than the other times, I don't know why
wish he didn't fall off. I remember, clearly in 2018 / 2016 idk I remember watching him on RUclips kids. I loved his videos so much. Then I forgot about him... (He was I think the first youtuber I've watched but maybe epic family gaming which also fell off :(. After like 3-4 years I remember watching or hearing something about someone called stampylonghead. Then I searched his channel... and remembered him. I cried. in that 2018 - 2017 year I left school with know way to contact my best friends. So seeing him again made me happy and sad...
I miss the days when I could hop on Minecraft for an hour not worry about life and just disappear into my world.
and disappear into a cave lol. this reminds me when my friend came to my house and we played minecraft together online on our ipads, and we would make a mine shaft and build stuff and then ocassionally running around and sometimes being greedy killing each other for resources lol.
The memories of waking up on a Saturday morning sitting down in my chair for 10 hours making my minecraft wrld just to leave it and restart will also be the highlights of my younger life
Rip juice
I remember waking up an hour earlier on weekends just to play the game
Why say wrld? Are you that lazy?

My oldest, who's 23 now, begged me to buy Minecraft. At that time he was playing a monthly subscribed game and I didn't want to pay another subscription so I said no. He just keep asking so I looked into it. Realized it was a one time purchase so relented. I watched him play it for the next week and was just drawn to it. The music was beautiful. The graphics were simple yet dynamic. At night, the terror was very real. I remember watching my son hiding in his house on the side of a hill and a creeper staring at him through a window. I felt worried for him. One night after he went to bed I grabbed my laptop and loaded the game up and haven't put it down since. I've had multiplayer worlds with each and everyone of my kids, all 5 of them. They vary based on the kid. The oldest and my world is by far the oldest and most developed, it's a sort of Disneyland for the rest of the kids. My oldest daughters is small and relaxing, we did a lot of fishing and farming. My middle daughter and I are real similar, we enjoy a balanced world, so it's a lot of technical farms surrounded in pretty builds. It's also a realm her friends join us on so it is quiet large. My youngest son is autistic so his world is an incredible collection of eclectic builds and massive roller coasters. One minute you are exploring a very detailed build of the polar express, the next you're riding a couple thousand block roller coaster that weaves around towering statues of the sponge Bob square pants crew. My youngest daughter just started playing and she is going to be a griefer. I don't even question it. Weaponized charged creepers incoming. The game has allowed me to make lasting connections with each of my kids in different ways. Thank you Notch. You made a beautiful game.
This was beautiful. Thank you for making my night.
Okay, this was the perfect wholesome comment, I don’t need to read any more comments here. 👏🏻
Thanks for sharing your experience, reading it warmed my heart ❤️
you made the right choice.
I wish you were my parent
Minecraft is nostalgic to me, i once played it back then, it was such a hit when Venturiantale did it with his 4 siblings Issac, Sarah, Bethany and the most notable one, Jordan, after it was such a great memory it actually did tell its self that you remember watching these videos, of how much you dreamed of, and thats why i remember it, till now, im re-watching the entire series. ik this is short, but thats how i love minecraft, and its modding community. it truly is great to see minecraft going good
Now even VenturianTale is just a memory.
I can't explain it right, but, everytime I listen to every Minecraft song, the nostalgia I feel, it's incredible, the feeling is just like I was really there inside the game, I can almost feel it, every single second played in this game felt like I was living another life, I don't have another game to compare that have the same emotional value, and what really made Minecraft is it's soundtrack, listening to these songs are such a mind dreaming feeling, it's not like every other song that you can feel the feeling that the song is supposed to give you, it's your feelings that are recorded in every note of these songs and everytime you listen to it, you feel it.
"We didnt miss old minecraft, we missed being happy"
Depressed much?
@@famedlettuce3497 Probably. Most people surely started Minecraft back when social media influenced people less and everyone was 10 or younger.
just because we grow up doesnt mean we have to be sad all the time
@@helmeren3828 true but the thing when we were little we basically had zero responsibilities and life was just so simple and stressless

Me too man, me too
I don't want to place my last block 😭😭

It's when you die
@@thereportoftheweek787 Same here..
the magic thing about minecraft is that everyone has its own story. Some of us were PVP slayer finding the dumbest way to gain fps and clicking faster, some us were INCREDIBLE builders who are now architect, some us were programming genius for creating mod. It was perfect.
who here sometimes gets into a survival world and feels the old nostalgic music and starts crying?
Yes. It’s even better if you play on a older version every so often, just to remind yourself how good your past was, so that you can strive to achieve equal or greater joy in the future
Minecraft was like being in a lucid dream back then. The graphics, the music, the sound. My 12 year old brain got attached to that simplicity. Life was simple, just like Minecraft. You wake up, go to school, come home and play Minecraft until bedtime. In Minecraft I would spawn in a new survival world and immediately start building a house out of wood blocks and prepare to go into a cave to find diamonds while avoiding the monsters at night. A very simple Minecraft adventure. Now I’m 21 and life isn’t so simple anymore.
“life isn’t so simple anymore” that just hit i remember when i was young playing the 2013 and up until 2018 just seemed so simple to me politics wasn’t everything it felt like minecraft got me most of my good friends that i skate with now but i still visit minecraft and just seeing how far it has come from just animals and small simple biomes to different kinds of caves and forests are insane to me people say they miss old minecraft but they don’t they miss the feeling of being young stress free and having this simple life of no worry abt the bad things unlike now that just get highlighted so much now
Well said
Hey, good news, minecraft isn't that simple any more either.
@@mr.cluster_fuck And politics is everything to you know?
Funny, when I am thinking back at being 21, I consider this to be the time where life was simple
What makes the nostalgia even stronger is the fact when you look back you realise game was a huge part of what your life has become all those tutorials videos you watched and shared with your friends teaching your friends so you guys could play survival making buildings together letting your imagination guide you is the best and there's nothing stopping you from doing that mainly in minecraft because it has it all the music,the freedom,the fun you can make memories again. Yes it gets boring when your alone but it's fun with friends because it helps you bond have fun and make memories again visting your old world and looking back and feeling happy because this game let you make those memories and bonds. It's a true nostalgia and doing it again and again. it will never let minecraft die and I'll never stop playing it no matter how much long of a break I take 1 year 2 or even 3 I'll come back and play with my friends and it's been a part of my memories since I was 10 it helped me through a lot of stuff so I love minecraft.
I first played Minecraft back in Christmas of 2011, I was 26. My 12 year old nephew introduced it to me and I was hooked. I played almost nonstop from 2011-2013. I have very strong nostalgia for those years, usually thunderstorms, scented fall candles, and heavy snows make me nostalgic for it. After 2013, every year to sometimes two years since, I've had what I call a "playthrough" where I'll either host a server or join a small 5-10 person server with friends. We'll all agree on an allmods style modpack; my personal favorite is still the old Yogscast Complete Pack (which I think was a spinoff of Resonant Rise 2), but we play All the Mods 3 thru 8, Resonant Rise 3, FTB, etc. The "playthrough" usually lasts me a month or two of solid play until I shut it off for the next time.
The funny thing is, I have nostalgia from every one of those playthroughs. Each time I establish a good footing and solid playthrough for Minecraft, when I get happy Minecraft memories I'll have new ones added. It's exponentially increasing the nostalgia as time progresses. Every time something triggers a Minecraft memory, if I haven't had a recent playthrough, the urge to play again skyrockets. I'm telling you.. they've cracked some kind of code. The perfect storm.

@SANS_YT I only played it once at a known person's house and it was fun, i was 8. I only played it once, but it feels nostalgic enough.
I remember crying when I was 10 cause I built a wooden house and lightning struck it and burned it down and then my xbox360 auto saved

I hate the fact that the modern world tainted minecraft so harshly but I love the memories I have playing minecraft for hours on end when I was a kid. The game holds a different kind of spot in my heart but I could never see myself on it anymore. It feels too new.
@MaxCornerstonethecool I know it can it's just the vanilla game is so far different from what I used to play now. I'd rather just play on 1.6 or 1.8 tbh. Those updates were the golden age to me.
I'm 40 now and never played Minecraft until my son started playing the game about a year and a half ago. I still get waves of nostalgia while playing and same with the music although I have only played a fraction of the time he has. The innocence is exactly what I think is so compelling. Seeing the game through the eyes of a 8 year old boy, having been one myself who was given an original NES on his birthday in the 90s. How I feel every time the Contra theme plays or the level end music of Mario 3 and translating that feeling to the experience he is having currently and will yet have when he is a dad in his 40's is why I imagine that is the case. Something about his little block character, that he made out of his own likeness, venturing off into the mist to explore and build out of his own imagination, eventually being "brave" enough to turn on survival mode, is very nostalgic and triggers some serious self reflection. Who knew a little block game could be so emotionally thought provoking and existential.
I literally listen to Minecraft's soundtrack when I'm walking my dog. It brings back the memories and makes me feel like those 10 years ago when I was doing the same thing in Minecraft.
Sometimes I want to play Minecraft, but after playing for some time I get thoughts that I need to work, I need to do productive stuff and not waste time on video games. It makes me feel like I will never feel the same way I felt back then.
I feel the same way man, it used to hit me hard few years back, the "stop playing these kid games you have way too much to do". But you can overcome that! Sometimes..they're not just games. Back in 2017, I asked my girlfriend if she had ever played Minecraft. She looked at me kinda funny and said "No, those graphics are so bad, isn't it for little kids??" I almost teared up with joy, I hadn't had this conversation with someone in YEARS.
After convincing her to play (we did have to compromise for Bedrock edition, originally on our Xbox 360), she became so hooked so fast. Absolutely loved the game, the creativity, the openness. When she first spawned and started looking around her world, the very first thing she said was "What am I supposed to do?" I said "Literally, anything you want ❤". It was like watching my younger self experience it all over again. And only a few days later, I woke up one Sunday morning to the sound of Minecraft sheep baaing from the TV. I wake up and see her... still in her pajamas, cross legged in front of the TV with an empty cereal bowl next to her.. tending to her first little farm. God damn I'm tearing up now too 😂 It was such a pure moment, getting to introduce someone to the game, just as I had been, and begin incredible MC journey for the first time.
Fast forward to today, we crossplay on PC and Xbox One, we host a Realm with our friends and have built a MASSIVE city over the last couple years. Huge skyscrapers, roads, restaurants, cultural districts, farmer's market, etc etc. And hell, literally last week we started a brand new survival world together, after she realized she still had never defeated the Ender Dragon, or the Wither. So now we're still making memories together, and I'm still so blessed to kinda relive those early memories I have, now with the woman I love 💘
God damn Minecraft is magical. Straight up. Don't ever stop playing, even if you take breaks sometimes!!
@@jmccann6735 That sounds like a very wholesome story! It's great you guys make awesome memories like that :) I wish you and your girlfriend all the best!
@@jmccann6735 god damnn you got me in tears. The whole time i was reading it, memories were popping up in my head. Thank you! :))
Gaming is a hobby like any other and for people of any age. Don't let others put you down for having fun.
How old are you and no offense, but do you watch TV? Do you have hobbies you enjoy? If so, do you feel you're wasting time when you do those things? Do you feel unproductive. If not, then why feel bad and unproductive playing a video game? I don't know you ofcourse and have no idea what your life is like so maybe you can't, but just ask yourself.
Assuming you take care of yourself and responsibilities are done, play a game. Make yourself happy. I'm 26 and work 40 to 60 hours a week. I have no kids and I take care of my house. When I'm free I play video games guilt free because I'm an adult and I do what I want as long as it's legal and not hurting others.
@@adbrooks95 I totally understand.
I don't say that playing isn't fun for me from time to time. But Minecraft is a survival/sandbox game, and you need to pour hours and hours into it.
I work as a freelance audio engineer/session vocalist/guitarist and I am also a musician - I always feel like I need to be working in one way or another because if I do not, I waste time. But I also love it. Music is my biggest passion and I am happy that I can do this for the living.
However, sometimes it gets very exhausting too. And I would love to play some Minecraft or some other sandbox game (my favorite type), but the problem is with these games - it takes a long time to do anything in them. Before I start any project in Minecraft - I notice that a few hours went by, and I feel the need to work on the important stuff, because that's what I earn money from and that's what my future relays upon. The more progress I do now, the earlier I will achieve my goal (in a way), and playing Minecraft will only delay this.
I am 24 by the way :)
I can already see myself bonding with my grandchildren over this game in the year 2070. Minecraft really is a timeless game, and I think this will be one of the few things that can unite different generations.
Definitely, let's hope this game at least gets 30-50 years on it's back.
@epic donny Bro what is wrong with you lol
@epic donny why are you liking your own comments.
@epic donny It's not even close to garbage. Sorry, but do you play Fortnite or something? That's likely gonna die before 20 years.
@@xydark2466 That's what I was thinking of
I was 24 when I first started playing Minecraft back in 2011, having learned about it from a colleague at my old job.
Although I was already an adult at that time, my life has changed pretty siginificantly since then.
Now, Minecraft feels pretty nostalgic to me, even in my mid thirties.
some things I really feel nostalgia about is the old minecraft music that would play in the ps3 version of minecraft. I can say the same for the tutorial that was included in the same version. Exploring the land and learning things I would never have known before, and...
Of course. We can't forget our DanTDM lab, the white coated villager, Dan himself, and his skeleton dog. :(
The villager was called Dr trayaurus and the skeleton dog was called grim.
We grew up as Steve. Not a default skin.
Charms using it
:)
Here’s a random thing to make you miss it if you dont play anymore:
Zombie: do you know who lives there?
Skeleton: pretty sure it’s abandoned now. 7 years ago two players used to expand that house and make memories there.
Zombie: you think their coming back?
Skeleton: I dunno but the dogs keep waiting for them.
@@hearts.s That literally made me tear up :') Thank you for that
Steve is a default skin
‘Why’, he asked?
Well imagine this:
It’s summer 2012. You come back from school. Today was the one to last day before the summerbreak, and you decided to play minecraft. You hop on skype, and call 3 of your best mates. One starts up his server, because he got help from his dad who knows much about pc’s and software. You do not do much; a bit mining, transferring of items, cleaning your chests and inventory... and whilst playing, you talk about all the fun things you guys are going to build in the summerbreak!
(This came up in me because I recently started playing modded minecraft with my cousin and it brought me back when me, him, my sister and two other cousins were playing minecraft in that cousin’s computer room on macs and fairly used laptops.)
I shed a tear bro :'(
I was playing with one of my friends that i met in Halo years ago, we started playing Minecraft after we met after a week randomly, i remember him saying "Bro have you ever heard of Minecraft? Wanna try? I got the game"
Aaaand i forgot how and what happened next, although, i remember that he has to go to somewhere for around a week and we just kinda forgot about eachother.

@@pouncelygrin6699 the good old days
I wrote this poem a couple years ago, and I think it fits here. I was referencing the game's tenth anniversary, but it means all the same today.
**ahem**
Poppies are red,
Wither Roses are black,
For all of us wish,
That we could go back.
A time more simple,
A time more grand.
No lootboxes and crates,
Just dirt, gravel, and sand.
Back in 2012,
Everything was so nice,
And nowadays it is rare,
To see a speedrun without a splice.
Yet for all of the memories that we made,
We have new ones every day,
It takes a strong man to sink,
Into the Swedish emotions that they always think.
We can still play the game,
When thinking about the past,
But you must always remember to be grateful,
Because every block you place may be your last.
Beautiful poem, i love it! :)

I will not be surprised if future generations have an influx of architects, movie directors, artists, engineers, and programmers, solely because Minecraft planted that seed in their heads when they were kids.
And a new highest grossing movie everyday And the whole team behind them all played minecraft.and art that actually looks worth it price.
Lol just like this guy ruclips.net/video/p42ZvRcMtog/видео.html
minecraft is a lot of my childhood, and it sparked a lot of creativity. made a costume of a minecraft enderman with a big open toothy jaw to wear at the 2020 armageddon event (wore black fabric over my face so i could see through the mouth without my face showing). people took photos of my costume. and now this year i'm making another costume (axolotl cat) and thinking about becoming an artist and costume maker. and the marine biologist map i played in minecraft quarintine got me interested in biology.
i have had fun occasionally playing with siblings and making builds.
Couldn’t agree more
Yeah, i found out an older friend of mine is a really good architect because me, him and my sister began playing more Minecraft together, always on creative, and he legit makes some of the best builds i've ever seen. Not a huge Harry Potter Hogwarts recreation or giant realistic town kinda stuff, but they were really good.
Sadly we lost most of the worlds we had, so yeah, most of his cool stuff is gone now.
Oh, also my sister made squares with furniture inside them for houses
For me, there were 2 major spikes of nostalgia. One, the initial 2010-2016 popularity spike, and two, the 2020 COVID era spike. I remember going online with my friends on my minecraft server in 2020 when there was nothing else to do. I remember making a zoo on floating islands in a world forever lost to time. I rember going to minecon 2015. I remember the first time I played minecraft, I made a floating castle, ugly, yet nostalgic. Man, nostalgia really hits hard, right where it hurts. Every now and then, I’ll think about simpler times of fun and curiosity…
And that bittersweet feeling strikes right then. ❤
I think another thing that creates a nostalgic memory is the sweet and relaxing life we have when we're still young. We usually get that nostalgic feel when we have a little chance to try out that same experience again after losing it for a very long time.
because its so simple of a concept that lasted for so long
Whooot
Yup
Yeah If they still didn't work on minecraft prob would've been dead sadly :( keep going mojang
The simplicity
Yup
My best friend from primary school showed me minecraft in 2011, he had a laptop on the floor in his living room and we would spend so many weekends there. He took his own life in 2017 at 16 years old. I always associate minecraft and the music with him, and makes it even sadder.
keep your chin up bro
He’ll live on in memories.
Don’t be sad, be happy that you were friends with him.
He did what he thought would make him happy.
Dont move on, but feel motivated to do things in honor of him.
New friends, new lifestyle, etc.

Minecraft Console edition is the most Nostalgic edition. The graphics and sounds made it very nostalgic.
The whiteish overlay..

And the split screen
The mini games in it were perfect
@@DE23 they should bring it back in bedrock for FREE because it was free in console. Love it.
I remember, when I was younger my older brother told me that if I collect ALL the disks in the game you can use cars in Minecraft. Being the stupid little 7 yo I was I spent hours upon hours trying to complete this daunting task. Then the day finally came. I got my last disk and guess what? Nothing happened . Those are the golden days.
I think Minecraft is so nostalgia because of the music. Take “Mice on Venus” or “Sweden” for example, just hearing that makes many feel sad as they remember the good old days when they would play Minecraft with their friends, messing around and just having fun 🙂
Or as another way to say it: We do not want the old things back, we just miss the memories we had.
This sums it up perfectly, I mean if you just woke up with the mindset of the present day and woke up in the past you would freak the hell out

Sorta, for me I just want to go back to my childhood because I was happier then, but time right now is not as good as my childhood but time may bring joy
@@chugpug8396 Im rlly young so I don’t know what’s gonna happen, buts it’s been pretty good
Minecraft was always my safe place growing up as a kid. I will always be thankful.
Literally 2 seconds in and I started tearing up, you can’t just do that man.
I feel like minecraft was just this simple place that almost felt like it was a dream. As we get older our lives get more complicated and I feel like just going to a place where it's so simple, like going to a grassy field where theres flowers and bugs hopping around sounds super nice and minecraft was that place.
I’m 17, and I’m heavily nostalgic towards minecraft, to the point that it’s not a good thing. It makes me wish so badly that I could go back, and feel like I’ll never feel that “childhood wonder” again. Honestly it feels like my nostalgia for my younger days have somewhat wasted my time as a 16-17 year old.
I feel the same way mate, I really do, crawling close to 18 and I feel like I am wasting my time not making memories, but I do hope I can make new memories before it is to late.

But it's best to be focusing on the present, your childhood may not be as good as you think, and you're present may be better than you think,
I feel literally the same. It’s sad to play it sometimes because I miss being a kid and playing Minecraft brings me back to those days
Minecraft was my childhood. I can't play it without feeling nostalgic. Indeed, Mojang are heroes.
I agree, same Minecraft is my childhood too
Broooo... If that intro went on for longer i would've started crying 😭
I remember playing Minecraft on our PS3 in 2015-2017 (born in 2011), and i still wanna go back.
We played all the time, often hearing the Moog City while playing. PvP, Elytra races (made by Mojang, not by mapmakers) are things i remember me and my 2 brothers (both older than me) playing on Minecraft PS3 edition. But now, we don’t anymore. One of my brothers is now oftenly playing on his PS4 and so is my other one. But just because i loved the older days doesn’t mean i don’t love the present days. I still play the game, with the new 1.20 coming up (very excited). So overall, i’m not too sad about how we lost the older days. Just happy that i remember them.
I swear every time I hear Mice on Venus, I start tearing up a little
Dry Hands makes me tear up more though.
@@user-sn8zx5mv1x Wet Hands even more for me
Yes mice on venus over sweden any minute
Aria math brings back memories of messing around with redstone in creative, trying to make a t flip flop back when I knew little of redstone.
Finally someone else who think Mice on Venus is the most nostalgic
Even though I never precisely remember hearing that particular soundtrack in game as a kid I find it so emotion-inducing
I started playing Minecraft when I was 18, which was 10 years ago. It was a time when I had moved out and was living on my own for the first time. It was a time of freedom, change, uncertainty, but also a lot of depression and anxiety. Minecraft was my safe place. A place where I could stay up all night, building villages and creating worlds where I could do whatever I want. Collaborating with my best friend online and making so many memories of the cities we built together. Even though I was already an adult when I first started playing, it still gives me an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. I still play to this day, although I have taken breaks over the years. The soundtrack is quite literally my favorite game soundtrack of all time (alongside BOTW), and hearing the track "Sweden" fills me with so much calm and happiness, to the point where I've played it while having a severe panic attack and it's stopped it in its tracks. I get this desire to jump back into the game and start creating again every time one of the songs plays.
Minecraft will always be an important part of my life, and I can't wait for the day when I have children and can show it to them.

Well I still sing the mario bro's tune while cooking dinner. LOL I mean I played Atari and Nintendo as a kid but still played outside and learnt life lessons as kids should be doing. I find it so unhealthy being glued to video games 24/7
John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
@@JaneCooper190072 Of course it's not healthy to do anything 24/7. And I never was. I grew up in the woods on a farm with no TV, internet, or anything like that. Didn't even have my first phone until I was 16. But video games have always been and will always be an important part of my life.

I’m scared
i should ask my close peoples to play Sweden looping when I died
From 2010 all the way to 2017 absolutely the peak golden era and times of my life! Those times will forever live in my heart and memory 😊
I remember my earliest long-term world.
It was 2014 and I had just got an Xbox 360 E with Minecraft. It was a Christmas gift from my Dad, who had driven 1500 miles to give it to me himself. The first time I ever booted it up, I distinctly remember Sweden playing.
Created a Creative World, spawned in a village. I immediately went to the shore and built a house entirely out of Gold Blocks. Put some windows in and built multiple rooms. Turned a library into a Bakery and pretended to sell bread and cakes. Over on a desert area, I built an airbase and then built my best attempt at a Vought F4U Corsair (I was a kid who was obsessed with everything WW2).
It seemed like a massive distance, but given worlds at this point on 360 were still 256x256, it really wasn't. I built a really basic railway over.
I would like to note however this wasn't my first time playing Minecraft. My first ever was in 2012. It was on my Grandparents' computer, and I played on a Superflat World. Built a castle entirely out of Netherrack.
It truly was a different time. It's been 12 years, and I've been playing constantly for 10 of that. Minecraft legitimately has been a founding thing in my life. I'm hoping that I'll still be playing Minecraft years in the future.
There was once a chess grandmaster who said: "If aliens exist they might play chess, but they certainly play Go." The point of the quote being that Go is such a natural and beautiful game that it its existence is inevitable with the development of intelligence. In a similar way, I believe Minecraft was inevitable with the development of computing. At least something Minecraft-like; the premise is just too simple and beautiful. However, that doesn't mean that the game has to be as good as it is. The particular visual style of Minecraft, the creatures that inhabit the world, the particular shapes of the landforms and caves, the music, that all came about by deliberate choices and they were all the right choices. So while Minecraft as a concept was inevitable Minecraft as a game was a beautiful creation of inspired individuals, and in my opinion is the best video game of all time, one which never may be surpassed at least in our lifetimes.
I like the way you think my man, thank you for watching :)

Minecraft isn't just a block game
It's our childhood
We learned how to make friends
A game full of creativity
Every block we place doesnt matter
Houses we made, Buildings we made.
Pets we bred
Mobs we slayed
Our childhood game might have it's last update,
Doesn't mean we can't play it anymore
Give me all the hate you want
But minecraft will be the best game in the world
Remember the old times you placed your first block
The first dog you tamed
The first house you made
The first coal ore you found
And finding diamonds
Soon, you will unexpectidly place your last block....
Sad isn't it?
10 years anniversary of our game Minecraft
A new decade has past
New updates been released
Yes , all of that was in a Block game....
Minecraft, isn't just a block game.
Isn’t it funny how day a day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different?
Back when "last online 6 years ago" was "last online 6 minuets ago"
The worst feeling isn't loneliness, it's being forgotten by someone you will always remember.
When the person who gave you the best memories becomes a memory.
You cant stop growing up. But you can always be a child at heart.
So go out there and do it. Make new friends. Go on your own adventure.
Minecraft will never truely die, it will live in our hearts forever.

Just thinking about memories of me playing multiplayer on my cousin's nintendo switch in the summer, made me cry while watching this video. I gotta admit: I was one lucky unlucky kid. I used to play minecraft all the time in summer between second grade and third grade. I was introduced to minecraft in IT lesson when my teacher let us build a house in minecraft, and I got into it in summer. It was really fun, and nostalgic. I did so every summer until fourth grade, I just came to my cousin's house every Friday in the summer, play some Minecraft, had a sleepover... It just made me cry that now in 6th grade, all of my friends competetive games like roblox bedwars or arsenal now... I want to play minecraft again... like the good old days. And being an asian, my parents won't let me buy Minecraft. But seriously, that almost 3 years of playing Minecraft, made a huge part of my life now. I just want to play minecraft as soon as possible, feeling the nostalgia as I entered a survival world after so long... I still watch Minecraft SMP videos to these days, but they just feel, not emotional at all now, even minecraft let's play... I want to experience it again... forever. I want to be my cousin so much, he got to enjoy minecraft for the fullest, while I... am stuck to no entertainment besides youtube and a bad memory mobile phone, that doesn't have money. I... just want to play minecraft, that's it.

Mojang i love you for making my childhood and C418 for the beautiful music and a quick word for Microsoft why did you remove C418 from making music for the game?
The first time i felt nostalgia, I was thinking of Minecraft. I remember the old feeling of glancing over to the left side of the screen, seeing my brother get the diamonds I have never before obtained. I think the most nostalgic part of it was the music. Whenever me and my family would play Minecraft, the music was always the elephant in the room. With most conversations starting with "why does this music remind me of a funeral". Minecraft without the music wouldn't be Minecraft. it would be nothing but a game that i used to play. but with the music and my 5 year old self. I really felt like i was in the game. As if the experience of Minecraft was a incomplete puzzle piece without the zen of the soundtrack that it brings.
6:56 I actually have a certain smell for minecraft, long story short, when I first started playing back in 2012, pocket edition was released, and when I first started to play I stayed in my aunt house and she had a certain type of candle (y'know, those with amazing smells?) she always picked the exact same type of candle, something called: "a walk in the park" or something similar, and that smell would stay in my mind as a part of minecraft, so whenever I got that smell It would launch me back in time when I was a little kid, playing this wonderful game, so in theory, you can have nostalgia from a Videogame trough smell, But I think that my case it's quite more especiffic.
I guess mine would be the musty smell of my dad's home office, with a slight smell of tobacco and old books, where me and my sister would take turns playing Minecraft alpha 1.32 deep into the night. Pretty sure this phenomenon is called cognitive association, where a stimulus is given during an activity repeatedly/continuously, making our brain associate both things as 1 single memory/entity. Another example would be a dog associating the sound for the word "walk" with an adventure with its owner, or like he said in the video, the smell of sunscreen with automatic thoughts swimming in the sea/pool
@@Dylan_Otto I've heard of that term in school now that I remember, it's pretty interesting tbh.
How we associate things thanks to the smell.
Had the same experience, but with my kindergarten. Went into a building to collect some stuff and the smell of the essence was so familiar, then it hit me. Realizing that it was the essence of my kindergarten, I almost teared up thinking of all my friends back then and how it was so easy and simple. Just ABCs and 123s. I hope all my friends are safe and successful.
@@theflamingfalcon9018 quite interesting to be honest, smell Sure is a strong part of us as life goes on.
I have a smell referring to those old days of Minecraft too. It was the strange but calming smell of my old computer that my parents bought me. Whenever I go back to that computer, I would almost tear up from the nostalgia Minecraft brings. Things have changed a lot since Microsoft bought Mojang. Sure, it’s sill great and people still love it, but Minecraft just isn’t really the same anymore from those Alpha and Beta times.
