Fun fact: Notch has a one of a kind hat on TF2 called "the top notch" that the devs made for him after he made a tweet saying that nobody in game believed that he was the real Notch Apparently that hat also makes him take 20% more damage
You forget Iskall85. He was one of the beta testers and is still a very popular Minecraft RUclipsr (and probably the reason the “Quake Pro” view is named as such, because he was a pro Quake player.
Something I just noticed was that the suggested name was: Minecraft Order of the Stone, which is the name of heros in Minecraft Story Mode. Nice to know that it was inspired by the name of Minecraft!
@@gigithegambIer I'd assume there complaint is more in line that it was rather alien to actual minecraft gameplay mechanics. The writing was rather mediocre with a lot of fan baiting, to a lot of different sub communities within the minecraft community.
I think some of the biggest reasons for the early sucsess with minecraft was Notch's interaction with the players. he had a blog back then where he updated everything he did with the game, constantly taking other players sugestions. and every friday i think it was called "secret friday'" where he would add 1 new thing to the game. and it could be anything. a new block, a flower, a sheep. every week. i used to keep refreshing the blog on fridays until the new update came :D I remember when he added player skins, i grabbed the original skin and fired up photoshop and made a suite with gray tie and glasses. and its the same suit i use to day. for nostalgic reason, its probably the first suit ever made in minecraft so a bit proud of that.
The fact that Minecraft isn't named after its two basic mechanics - mining and crafting - but rather Starcraft and the fact that it had caves was mindblowing.
@@dpal35 shouldn't be too surprising. like he interviewed me for this video and afaik this is the only minecraft video (by a popular channel anyway) to interview me so it'd make sense that i'd read some of the comments
Hey man, this will most likely get lost in the comments since this video is almost 2 Months old. I was one of the first Minecraft players, as I started in July 2009. I still have the original emails from signing up for the forums, along with the email when my account was hacked years later. I only played for 2 months or so and I only played a few times during that short period. Since then I haven’t played or tried Minecraft once! It’s wild to see how popular it’s gotten since the brief time I’ve played. Crazy how some random game my friend found 14 years ago became the most popular game of all time. I’ve tried to contact Mojang 2 times in the last year to recover the account but no luck. Despite having the original emails, and my email matches my legal name, and still owning the laptop I registered the account on. I’d love to answer any questions you have if you do read this comment! Cheers
i read that and its super interesting! i personally started playing around 2010, i believe it was beta 1.3 back then. still it seems like quite a long time. but i played it till 2013, and then on and off to see the changes. its a much different game now compared to how it was. and i think i liked it more when it wasn't as popular and was much simpler. but i guess that's just nostalgia. anyway, thanks for reading that haha
@@cez_kor i agree. there is something so magical about that nostalgic look of it in the early beta and alpha versions, but if it had stayed that way, it wouldn’t have been nearly as popular as it is now.
I think the only reason why would be because Mojang accounts hage now been migrated to Microsoft accounts so the only way you’d be able to play Minecraft again would be to download the launched on the Microsoft store and buy Java again. As of 7th June 2022 (as far as I’m aware) you can’t access Mojang accounts that haven’t been migrated to a Microsoft account
Its interesting that the oldest players of Minecraft all shared the similar sentiment of the survival/rpg part of the game not mattering as much as I feel that the creative building and freedom is what truly brings people to the game. I make this point because it is easy to advance through the game and many of those longer term worlds and 100 day challenges involve much more building than truly surviving. Their sentiment still holds a solid ground even today! Great video as always.
Yeah that’s true, I remember making a bit of pixel art, but ever since I started playing In the alpha at 10 yos. 99% of worlds have been hard mode survival(except testing red stone). Every person I know who’s played Minecraft early does prefer survival and I never really thought of that before
I think at the end of the day, the fact so many types of players played Minecraft is what made it so popular, shit is in the memories of multiple generations at this point
Whats also interesting is that, with the recent trend being more towards exploration and adventure, players AFTER the classic builds and who joined more during infdev/alpha/beta instead actually prefer and heavily advocate for more true survival-based gameplay and are actually a bit less interested in building.. and then after release 1.0 and to today the majority seem to favor a bit of adventure and building but are less interested in actual survival gameplay So theres a bit of a trend: Classic and Pre Classic - Favors building, dislikes both survival and rpg aspects Survival Test/Indev/Infdev/Alpha/Beta - Favors hard survival, dislikes rpg aspects Release 1.0/Modern day - Favors building again and adventure/exploring, dislikes survival
Yeah, I started playing Pocket Edition Demo (or something like that?) around 2011. There was no multiplayer on that version so I spent all my time playing building houses, hotels, pools and castles. Still prefer that than sweating my ass off on skywars or stuff like that. On all of my survival words I just built some house, farm, railways, bridges and lighthouses. Have never beaten ender dragon to this day
Quite interesting how many different names Minecraft could have had, seen a few of the names before on maps like Diversity in the trivia section, but most of these, I have never heard of.
Ngl RinkuHero is probably one of the most important reasons why this game is a success. Minecraft is such a simple but descriptive name, something that catches people's attention like how I did when I found out about the game. Like imagine if the game is still called Testbed 5, it'll just make you think the game is meh because of the name
@Verm names have to come from somewhere. plus, and i mentioned this in another comment, but it's sometimes annoying, because i'd rather be more famous for my own games. like i made the first tower defense game with a story (immortal defense), but even though that game sold modestly well as indie games go (a few tens of thousands of copies) it's still overshadowed in terms of my claim to fame by naming a game i didn't even play that much or know that much about. so i wouldn't say i'm just a random guy, been involved with indie games for 20 years, i've reviewed hundreds of indie games (used to contribute to blogs that covered indie games) and made 14 myself etc., so what i mean is, it makes sense that the name comes from someone else in the indie game developer community. if it wasn't me to name it it'd likely have been a different indie game developer. so 'random' seems a bit inaccurate, none of us making games back then were doing so randomly, and we weren't in that chatroom randomly, like making games and being in a community with other indie game developers was what drew us together.
@@rinkuhero interesting to see your opinion on it, I remember wondering who you were and where you were at the point that I learned you named the game, it must have been cool to at least see a game that you were involved with from the beginning take the world by storm :P
As a project name, mine-craft would certainly be an inspirational concept for the development process. Interesting that the survival mode of the game has developed so much to be more about crafting, interaction with NPCs, and exploration then just mining.

Love how Bood_War was one of the few people who installed the pre-Classic Minecraft minutes after its release, built a gas chamber, and refused to elaborate.
It's so interesting that the -craft part Minecraft didn't even come from the crafting feature and in fact predates it. You really would have thought the naming would have been so simple: it's a game where you mine and craft --> minecraft! But apparently not!

Eyy, was expecting to see Increpare and Rinkuhero here! Both of them have had huge influences on the indie game community, and are honestly worth making entire videos on.
Redstone is an elegant, unprecedented method of teaching introduction to computer science in such a natural manner where the people using Redstone might not realize they're even learning.
If you don't like the hunger system and think the game is too easy, I HIGHLY recommend setting sleep percentage to 200 and turning natural regeneration off. It brings back the horror and scarcity of Alpha and I haven't made a survival world without those settings in awhile.
@@nini_stols When creating a new world you can go to Game Rules and turn off the option to regenerate health and set 'Sleep percentage' to 200. If you have an existing world you want to do this for, you can open up the pause menu in-game and click 'Open to LAN', then change 'Allow Cheats' to ON and click 'Start LAN World' (If you already have cheats enabled then you can skip this step). Now paste the following commands in your chat: "/gamerule naturalRegeneration false", and "/gamerule playersSleepingPercentage 200". By the way if you're reluctant to turn cheats on to paste those commands in, don't worry. Once you leave and rejoin your world they'll be disabled (unless you do the whole Open to LAN thing again.
@@Eraqon It determines what percentage of players in the world need to sleep to skip the night. The default value is 100, requiring all players to sleep. if you set it to 0, only one person needs to sleep, if it's 50, only half the players, etc. If it's set to a value above 100 then it is impossible to skip the night by sleeping. it's useless to change in a singleplayer world unless your sleep percentage is above 100.
Fun fact! - Order of the stone was actually the name of the minecraft story mode ep 1, i know this because i used to play minecraft story mode in 2019! ep1 and ep2 got lost and are unavailable right now…!
ive been on and off since 2011, always loved building, im loving all the new blocks being added with recent updates, there's something satisfying watching a copper roof you built turn green while you play
I agree with the older players that building and exploring, especially exploring are the most entertaining activities in minecraft. That was what I remember having the most fun doing in the earlier versions of the game.
imagine checking you're email and just found a random person asking you about something that's happened more than 10 years ago and just starting telling how you named the most know video games
i get those emails all the time actually. but this was the first time it was from a youtuber with a pretty big subscriber base instead of random minecraft players who wanted to ask me questions.
I played this in the early days as an indie game dev, didn't think too much of it, still don't have the patience to play it today. RinkuHero (Paul Eres, who is a top notch indie dev on his own right) posted this video on his Facebook feed.
Zach (the creator of infiniminer) said that this isn't true, as he wouldn't have taken infiniminer in the direction notch took minecraft, because he didn't like that kind of game
Older player here, not quite as old as tigsource but I remember survival test being the hot new development. One thing to track down is an old interview with notch around indev/infdev where notch is asked about dragons and magic to which he responds something like "I'd like to see some kind of passive magic in the game". This was something that got brought up here and there which is why some of the oldest players might refer to potions/enchantments as "magic"
The fact that the early players of minecraft managed to keep the reason they loved it in the first place- the freedom and sandbox-type gameplay- throughout the many years and updates, is honestly amazing
first played 2009 still play today: some days you miss the old Minecraft and its simple gameplay I still miss the old cobblestone texture, I do like where there going with the game in parts but sometimes its a bit much, The simplicity of the game was sometimes better, I do miss playing with the homies at 3am building crazy shit
iknow right like the caves are cool to look at but from a game play perspective there stupidly too big to be playerble and finding iron no longer requires mining. the recipe book makes the game too easy wheres the challenge i know every recipe (pre 1.13 since i dont play enough however i know most of them) and the fact theres too many things to keep track of sleep food health inventory shield weapons tools Armour height sound and temperature whats next thirst
I used to run a server with my friends around 2012. I remember that we lost interest (and money for running the server) when End became a big part of the game - we didn't know how to implement it. But those days - running the Minecraft server and just building cities people could visit and maybe trade in - were the most enjoyable gaming moments of my life.
I once called the consulting firm mentioned at 0:32 (it's in Australia but it only cost me a penny with Google Voice) because I was curious if they got a lot of calls from people with questions about the game. The receptionist said yes, and sounded annoyed.
You are Really Underrated For The Content You are Producing, My friend Sent Me Your Channel in discord and I Can Say, I Don't Regret it, I Watched your 8-9 videos and I Quite Enjoyed it.
I only started in early 2013, around the peak of popularity, after watching a bunch of Minecraft content online for a couple years and seeing my friends playing the game. It definitely began to feel a lot different after the 1.9 update, and weirdly the stuff from around 1.5 feels very old and nostalgic now. I can't imagine how it would be adding many more layers of updates and history to that experience, I definitely wish I had started earlier. Funnily enough Minecraft has been pretty much the only game I ever got really invested in, but there's definitely some not so great changes occurring in the modern game.
something i dont hear many people mention is that jwaap (who i will be referring to as j.w in this post) is one of the bigger early players of minecraft and is attributed with at least one of the oldest minecraft videos to date; with this said, i don't hear people mention who he is outside of that, which i think is quite notable. for a long time, j.w comprised one half of the indie game developer "vlambeer", and one of his games with the largest success, "nuclear throne", originated as a title created for a game jam that mojang would later create, where it would then be known as "wasteland kings". since then he's found notable success within the indie development scene, and many people, including myself, attribute j.w as a large inspiration within indie game development. i can kind of understand not saying too much about him when it comes to these sorts of minecraft videos given he already has a notable amount of popularity, but i still wanted to bring him up
10:50 I agree with the hunger thing, it doesn’t add anything and feels kinda pointless. Food just healing you was a lot more helpful and had more motivation to get harder to make foods (ex: mushroom stew healed 4 hearts); whereas now it doesn’t really matter what food you have, if you stand still long enough, you’ll get as much food as you would from a steal as you would kelp. The slow regeneration of health is very frustrating early game, because it slows everything down. I don’t know about you, but I hate sitting in a dirt box while waiting for my health to regen.
I was the dude who originally wrote that lol. It was funny bc I was playing on console and everyone on that forum was playing PC, so they just made fun of me the whole time. Good memories.
when i first started playing there was only like a 200x200 world with no sleep, no hunger, zombies dropped feathers, villagers weren't a thing, and i remember making a house and filling it with the old grindstone or whatever it was.
increpare i knew back then too, he's still one of my favorite game developers (i'm rinkuhero from this video). i think he's terribly underrated, he's possibly the most inventive and creative indie game developer i'm aware of. i think he's up to around 500 tiny games made too, i'm unaware of any indie as prolific.
I started playing in beta 1.7.2, around 2011 - 2013, i played the game a lot and i still do today. I like the fact that some of the first players of minecraft contacted you even with their accounts abandoned
I have a feeling I was one of the early ones with Minecraft too. I remember playing quite a lot when it was only accessible as a browser game! Great too see how far it has come since then.
I got introduced back before redstone had comparators. Before diamond piston glitches were patched. Before villagers did trades. Before oceans and biomes had anything of real interest. Was an entirely different game back then... Something like V1.3
i may be weird but i enjoy the simplisity of the early versions more than modern theres too much in the game now it feels a bit bloated.it would be fine if you've been on the same world and have been upgrading but to start from scratch now is just overwhelming
10:28 to 10:50 You could replace "Potions and Enchanting" and all that with "Story and missions" and you'd get the exact same problem Starbound, Space Engineers, Empyrion, Windforge, and so many other indie open world games have faced. The new story features actively detract from the best components of the game, often outright derailing the fun core experience.
but potions and enchanting just add more depth while not affecting the core components of the game, which have been there forever and are now stronger than ever
@@ultratronger I don't find staring at potion charts for an hour very fun. Regardless, you're both derailing immediately when my first post brings the topic to other games without directly commenting on the issue you're hyper focusing on. Are you two okay? Having home trouble?
@@KiraSlith what do you mean staring at potion charts? youre telling me you cant memorize 10 materials? a chart is useless, the only other things besides the main components are glowstone, redstone, and gunpowder, which do the exact same thing on every potion also, you do know that you dont have to make potions, right? theyre not necessary for anything, you dont even need armor either if you dont want to, thats why minecraft is a great game, its a sandbox, if you dont like something, dont use it, simple
I first started playing in Classic, and when Survival was added I stepped away from the game for a while. I do still prefer building massive structures over everything else the game has to offer.
I remember my first time playing Minecraft, I climbed a mountain and all of a sudden a spider jumped on me and pushed me off, I almost died as I landed infront of a patch of pumpkins, than BOOM, a creeper exploded me, back than I thought the pumpkins in the game were explosive!
I remember, before Notch took down all the pre-classic prototype videos, that there was a comment from when one of them was originally posted that predicted Minecraft's popularity.
I remember when the alpha and beta versions of MC were out, friends and I in High school tech classes would blaze through our work super fast just so we could all play MC off of a file from a flashdrive downloaded to everyones computers. Good memories :)

So “order of the stone” in Minecraft story mode goes like, wayyyyyyy back. That’s awesome man.
so awesome right?!?
The world from MCSM must be very old as it had the far lands generated ;)
I remember playing in the browser in 2009 but my mom wouldn’t let me buy a full account until 2011 😞
it was first playable by browser? didn’t know that i got the game in 2010
@@hybridmagz a huge amount of people played through free play minecraft browser sites like minecraftforfree until notch took them down (understandably)
this sequel was well needed, thanks for sending it out!
I like how "order of the stone" would eventually be used for storymode, as mediocre the game was.
It was not mediocre I loved the game
@@Unbrickme It was never mediocre neither was the second game it had a good heart deep inside its story
Best
@@kingcrab967 yes. Minecraft story mode was an experience
both story modes were amazing
Eyy, was expecting to see Increpare and Rinkuhero here! Both of them have had huge influences on the indie game community, and are honestly worth making entire videos on.
I really like the little bits of comedy you throw in, like at 7:27. It's things like that that add personality to people's creations
Glad you like it :)

Redstone is an elegant, unprecedented method of teaching introduction to computer science in such a natural manner where the people using Redstone might not realize they're even learning.
If you don't like the hunger system and think the game is too easy, I HIGHLY recommend setting sleep percentage to 200 and turning natural regeneration off. It brings back the horror and scarcity of Alpha and I haven't made a survival world without those settings in awhile.
What is sleep percentage and what does it do?
Could you tell us plebs how to do that or link instructions for it? I'm quite interested in that!
@@nini_stols When creating a new world you can go to Game Rules and turn off the option to regenerate health and set 'Sleep percentage' to 200. If you have an existing world you want to do this for, you can open up the pause menu in-game and click 'Open to LAN', then change 'Allow Cheats' to ON and click 'Start LAN World' (If you already have cheats enabled then you can skip this step). Now paste the following commands in your chat: "/gamerule naturalRegeneration false", and "/gamerule playersSleepingPercentage 200". By the way if you're reluctant to turn cheats on to paste those commands in, don't worry. Once you leave and rejoin your world they'll be disabled (unless you do the whole Open to LAN thing again.
@@Eraqon It determines what percentage of players in the world need to sleep to skip the night. The default value is 100, requiring all players to sleep. if you set it to 0, only one person needs to sleep, if it's 50, only half the players, etc. If it's set to a value above 100 then it is impossible to skip the night by sleeping. it's useless to change in a singleplayer world unless your sleep percentage is above 100.

pnir tnzr is cave game with the rot13 cypher applied, which just means each letter is replaced with the letter 13 letters away from it
Fun fact! - Order of the stone was actually the name of the minecraft story mode ep 1, i know this because i used to play minecraft story mode in 2019! ep1 and ep2 got lost and are unavailable right now…!
Minecraft back then was crazy ! The pioneers of the game were great
pfft you havnt even watched the video yet Xd
@@zeeveestudios ik lol
@Vitamin Shorts what does that lead to tho
ive been on and off since 2011, always loved building, im loving all the new blocks being added with recent updates, there's something satisfying watching a copper roof you built turn green while you play
I agree with the older players that building and exploring, especially exploring are the most entertaining activities in minecraft. That was what I remember having the most fun doing in the earlier versions of the game.
imagine checking you're email and just found a random person asking you about something that's happened more than 10 years ago and just starting telling how you named the most know video games
i get those emails all the time actually. but this was the first time it was from a youtuber with a pretty big subscriber base instead of random minecraft players who wanted to ask me questions.
@@rinkuhero wow nice
I played this in the early days as an indie game dev, didn't think too much of it, still don't have the patience to play it today. RinkuHero (Paul Eres, who is a top notch indie dev on his own right) posted this video on his Facebook feed.
I like how "the order of the stone" was still used in Minecraft storymode
Its crazy how close infiniminer was to becoming the greatest game of all time.
Yeah, kinda sad really. They were so close!
Zach (the creator of infiniminer) said that this isn't true, as he wouldn't have taken infiniminer in the direction notch took minecraft, because he didn't like that kind of game
You can search zach barth and listen to some of his talks on youtube, in nearly all of them the topic comes up
Older player here, not quite as old as tigsource but I remember survival test being the hot new development. One thing to track down is an old interview with notch around indev/infdev where notch is asked about dragons and magic to which he responds something like "I'd like to see some kind of passive magic in the game". This was something that got brought up here and there which is why some of the oldest players might refer to potions/enchantments as "magic"
The fact that the early players of minecraft managed to keep the reason they loved it in the first place- the freedom and sandbox-type gameplay- throughout the many years and updates, is honestly amazing
dude a cool idea would be to pay these people to get into a server and watch them as they beat minecraft in 2022
first played 2009 still play today: some days you miss the old Minecraft and its simple gameplay I still miss the old cobblestone texture, I do like where there going with the game in parts but sometimes its a bit much, The simplicity of the game was sometimes better, I do miss playing with the homies at 3am building crazy shit
iknow right like the caves are cool to look at but from a game play perspective there stupidly too big to be playerble and finding iron no longer requires mining. the recipe book makes the game too easy wheres the challenge i know every recipe (pre 1.13 since i dont play enough however i know most of them) and the fact theres too many things to keep track of sleep food health inventory shield weapons tools Armour height sound and temperature whats next thirst
I used to run a server with my friends around 2012. I remember that we lost interest (and money for running the server) when End became a big part of the game - we didn't know how to implement it. But those days - running the Minecraft server and just building cities people could visit and maybe trade in - were the most enjoyable gaming moments of my life.
I like how they reused the Order of The Stone for Minecraft Story Mode
I once called the consulting firm mentioned at 0:32 (it's in Australia but it only cost me a penny with Google Voice) because I was curious if they got a lot of calls from people with questions about the game. The receptionist said yes, and sounded annoyed.
One of the first things ever done in Minecraft after public release was build a swastika.
Certified internet moment.
Order of the stone… hm. Maybe in ‘Minecraft Story Mode: Order of The Stone’ was a call back to the possible name way back when
you having to explain what IRC is and using the phrase "all the way back in 2009" is making me feel crazy old lol
I feel like a cool retro nerd for using IRC these days lol
get an IRC client and connect @ libera chat
perhaps we should make a chatroom
really cool that this is where the name of 'order of the stone' came from for story mode
So interesting to see how much the game has evolved but stayed very similar in many aspects!
And this is why I love little nods to old stuff in newer stuff. Damn you Minecraft: Story Mode lol. clever.
You are Really Underrated For The Content You are Producing, My friend Sent Me Your Channel in discord and I Can Say, I Don't Regret it, I Watched your 8-9 videos and I Quite Enjoyed it.
This is some high quality edit and I hope you get 500k soon, I also your content and You got a new subscriber as well. Good luck in your journey!
So is that why the group of Heroes in MC: Story Mode were the Order of the Stone?
I find it cool the order of the stone part was used for minecraft storymode, pretty cool reference
Fun fact: The Order of the Stone is now used as a name for a powerful group of people in Minecraft: Story Mode.
I only started in early 2013, around the peak of popularity, after watching a bunch of Minecraft content online for a couple years and seeing my friends playing the game. It definitely began to feel a lot different after the 1.9 update, and weirdly the stuff from around 1.5 feels very old and nostalgic now. I can't imagine how it would be adding many more layers of updates and history to that experience, I definitely wish I had started earlier. Funnily enough Minecraft has been pretty much the only game I ever got really invested in, but there's definitely some not so great changes occurring in the modern game.
The effort put into this video is just splendid! A+!
something i dont hear many people mention is that jwaap (who i will be referring to as j.w in this post) is one of the bigger early players of minecraft and is attributed with at least one of the oldest minecraft videos to date; with this said, i don't hear people mention who he is outside of that, which i think is quite notable. for a long time, j.w comprised one half of the indie game developer "vlambeer", and one of his games with the largest success, "nuclear throne", originated as a title created for a game jam that mojang would later create, where it would then be known as "wasteland kings". since then he's found notable success within the indie development scene, and many people, including myself, attribute j.w as a large inspiration within indie game development. i can kind of understand not saying too much about him when it comes to these sorts of minecraft videos given he already has a notable amount of popularity, but i still wanted to bring him up
Oh wow, those are the people that made Super Crate Box!
7:59 Is that how Minecraft Story Mode started?
10:50 I agree with the hunger thing, it doesn’t add anything and feels kinda pointless. Food just healing you was a lot more helpful and had more motivation to get harder to make foods (ex: mushroom stew healed 4 hearts); whereas now it doesn’t really matter what food you have, if you stand still long enough, you’ll get as much food as you would from a steal as you would kelp. The slow regeneration of health is very frustrating early game, because it slows everything down. I don’t know about you, but I hate sitting in a dirt box while waiting for my health to regen.
I was the dude who originally wrote that lol. It was funny bc I was playing on console and everyone on that forum was playing PC, so they just made fun of me the whole time. Good memories.
5:43 the first recorded swastika made in Minecraft it’s on the roof that wasn’t a trap it was a gas chamber
im pretty sure he knew, he just called it a trap to avoid youtube whining at him lmao
when i first started playing there was only like a 200x200 world with no sleep, no hunger, zombies dropped feathers, villagers weren't a thing, and i remember making a house and filling it with the old grindstone or whatever it was.
You sir are now a historian and archivist in Minecraft thanks to what you’ve done today
I knew increpare from the toki pona community. I had no idea he was part of such a historic moment
increpare i knew back then too, he's still one of my favorite game developers (i'm rinkuhero from this video). i think he's terribly underrated, he's possibly the most inventive and creative indie game developer i'm aware of. i think he's up to around 500 tiny games made too, i'm unaware of any indie as prolific.
The fact you said muffdiver with a straight face and not even a slight giggle is shocking
I started playing in beta 1.7.2, around 2011 - 2013, i played the game a lot and i still do today. I like the fact that some of the first players of minecraft contacted you even with their accounts abandoned
I loved this video! I especially love your documentary type vids, keep up the great work and I hope you get to 400k soon!
I have a feeling I was one of the early ones with Minecraft too. I remember playing quite a lot when it was only accessible as a browser game! Great too see how far it has come since then.
I really like your videos TME! Your channel is pure gold for the Minecraft Community
The name Order of the Stone wasn't completely forgotten. It actually became the name of the legendary group fr Minecraft Story Mode.
i'm actually just learning this now through these comments. it's nice that that part of my suggestion wasn't wasted.
This gives me a sense of nostalgia I never had 🙂
lol me 2😒
7:37 YO, THIS IS ALSO HOW THE MAIN TEAM IN MINECRAFT STORY MODE GOT NAMED!!!
Notch sending the dude 300euros for the name was a class act.
The fact that a random forum user in chat just pitched a name to Notch and it became the title of Minecraft is just beautiful.
I got introduced back before redstone had comparators. Before diamond piston glitches were patched. Before villagers did trades. Before oceans and biomes had anything of real interest. Was an entirely different game back then... Something like V1.3
i may be weird but i enjoy the simplisity of the early versions more than modern theres too much in the game now it feels a bit bloated.it would be fine if you've been on the same world and have been upgrading but to start from scratch now is just overwhelming
7:33 order of the stone was the name of the 4 or 5 guys in minecraft story mode, dont remember what they did.
" order of the stone " was used in Minecraft story mode
cool how order of the stone was used in story mode
7:30 I got stabbed with minecraft story mode memories
Minecraft story mode has a group called ‘order of the stone’ that has to be a reference!
10:28 to 10:50 You could replace "Potions and Enchanting" and all that with "Story and missions" and you'd get the exact same problem Starbound, Space Engineers, Empyrion, Windforge, and so many other indie open world games have faced. The new story features actively detract from the best components of the game, often outright derailing the fun core experience.
but potions and enchanting just add more depth while not affecting the core components of the game, which have been there forever and are now stronger than ever
@@ultratronger I don't find staring at potion charts for an hour very fun. Regardless, you're both derailing immediately when my first post brings the topic to other games without directly commenting on the issue you're hyper focusing on. Are you two okay? Having home trouble?
@@KiraSlith what do you mean staring at potion charts? youre telling me you cant memorize 10 materials? a chart is useless, the only other things besides the main components are glowstone, redstone, and gunpowder, which do the exact same thing on every potion
also, you do know that you dont have to make potions, right? theyre not necessary for anything, you dont even need armor either if you dont want to, thats why minecraft is a great game, its a sandbox, if you dont like something, dont use it, simple
Interestingly enough a group of people in Minecraft story mode were named ‘the order of the stone’
I first started playing in Classic, and when Survival was added I stepped away from the game for a while. I do still prefer building massive structures over everything else the game has to offer.
I remember my first time playing Minecraft, I climbed a mountain and all of a sudden a spider jumped on me and pushed me off, I almost died as I landed infront of a patch of pumpkins, than BOOM, a creeper exploded me, back than I thought the pumpkins in the game were explosive!
LMAO that's great.
A fun mod idea is have a "pumpkin creeper" that lives with pumpkins
Muffdiver, huh? That could have been a much different game...
Crazy how the first person to respond to the forum also helped make fall guys.
So why should we hire you?
I named minecraft
You start next week
isnt order of the stone in reference to minecraft story mode?? thats crazy that a reference like that would be added to story mode
Oh hey I see myself!
Order of the Stone, that brings back memories. The name was later used in minecraft storymode
your videos do not get enough views for how good they are
WOAH! Minecraft: order of the stone. Know that reference? Yeah, that's what I thought. Minecraft: Story mode.
First minecraft players, love it! The naustalgia is real
damn, thats embarassing. mispelling nostalgia
I remember, before Notch took down all the pre-classic prototype videos, that there was a comment from when one of them was originally posted that predicted Minecraft's popularity.
9:15 is that the Artosis from StarCraft?
I remember when the alpha and beta versions of MC were out, friends and I in High school tech classes would blaze through our work super fast just so we could all play MC off of a file from a flashdrive downloaded to everyones computers. Good memories :)
The upload time is unfriendly to old world viewers but im awake anyway
order of the stone was then used to for Minecraft: Story mode. Thats pretty cool
5:33, "Hitler's secret bunker is found" xD
Fun fact: the phrase 'Order of the Stone' was used in Minecraft: Story Mode!
