My old alpha world has been loaded in just about every version of Minecraft. There are so many chunk issues and every tree has every kind of leaf possible on them.
Been watching your stuff since ~2012,and love how you're making so many new videos these days man. Great style, good commentary, and done very professionally. Keep up the good work!
Helpful tip: The generation between Beta 1.8 - 1.6 changed as such: Beta 1.8 was different from B 1.7 1.0.0-1.1 changed from B 1.8 due to the Tundra biome being readded. 1.2-1.6 changed from 1.1 due to the Jungle biome being added.
@@manwhodontlikepickel1327 Yeah, it's not like everything should be pronounced as M C, like MCProHosting, the MC is pronounced like M C, instead of MC, I wonder how everyone else pronounces it, though.
Hey Verlis :D There's also the Minecraft Movie scheduled for 2019, the 10 year anniversary of Minecraft. Franchises like Sonic will be on its 28th year, and Pokémon on its 23rd. Minecraft will be almost half as old as the Pokémon franchise.
My second Minecraft world, which I still play, has countless cuttings like that and it doesn't bother me, I see it as an interesting thing of that world, it's like an unique world type, Patchwork Type. There is even a one chunk wide stripe surrounded by sea on both sides in one place of the world. In the same world I can get really old terrain and seagrass-populated terrain
They would not exist; Mojang removed them IIRC Beta 1.8 I believe. AntVenom DID make a video where you can load the Far Lands into 1.8 Minecraft, but I'm not sure if it will still work in 1.10.
3:03 Actually, it will be a good feature if you replace the prismarine blocks with bricks, vines, broken bricks, etc so it looks like a *LOST TEMPLE* , also remove the water and replace it with white stained glass so it's looks like foggy. Just imagine if it have a new Golem Boss inside with some minion inside it, you can called it *THE RUINS UPDATE*
I wish I knew more about worldgen back in beta 1.2 going to 1.3, I had a really cool island with three sheer cliff sides that was decently sized spawn in the middle of a decently size ocean biome that was DEEP, making it a sorta survival island-ish. When I tried that seed again after some update the height and depth of terrain was off, and it turned into a four-block-high peninsula surrounded by similarly shallow ocean. Good thing that they brought back deep oceans, though.
Alpha level Format was added in March 27, 2010 in version 20100327 (12th version with infinite generation) A, there was a saving format before that. I'm not sure if that format could cross versions; prob not tho. If any1 wanted to do a world going from version 20100327 and onward; you could, but there are some versions you might want to skip (like 20100625 changes the chunk format, and causes problems, it literally get changed after this version back to Alpha Level Format, but there is sometime a problem where it changes your world, but you have your inventory in the next version. or maybe it just changes spawn- not sure cus I could find out without coords; idk how common that is, but one guy did found a way to fix it... somehow, I just watched him fix it, he didnt explained( a Lets play). just back up your world with versions - and look at the wiki for each version; so you can skip the ones with bugs.
there are alternative launchers that add compatibilities and let you use your skin - I used BetaCraft, it has a built in list of the versions- like a LARGE one, and my skin works in a lot of the versions - it also fixes crashes that happen on Mac and Linux, (it doesn't edit the actual game - just the arguments; and maybe some java compatibilities- I don't know the technicals of that)
I tried an experiment starting with Alpha, then going through a few beta versions, loading in lots of chunks, then switching to release 1.0. This last part led to almost all the blocks being nothing but grey blocks. I updated through to 2.1 and nothing changed, but then decided to skip ahead to 1.7.10 and suddenly everything was fine. I'm up to 1.12.2 now and everything works. I love the contrasts from early alpha to beta to the update that changed the world. If nothing goes wrong, I'm thinking of eventually just making this my main survival world in 1.16.5 or maybe 1.17.1. Beta had some truly wonderful generation that you'll never see in later versions. The ocean borders are also weird, generating one block lower. Thanks AV for the tips, it's nice to confirm that I actually got the process right.
I just did like 2 hours of research on this and you were like, "haha here's everything in 4 minutes." Thank you SO much dude. Would love an updated version here to get my Alpha worlds playing in 1.20 if you could show the actual process in the file explorer and such?
at the beginning when antvenom showed the transition between alpha beta and release you can notice that at the beginning (alpha) the colors were very bright and cartoonish, while in release they are much darker and sorta depressing
I’m a collector of old maps, and I (I’m known as TriggeredSnake on Reddit.) created the largest alpha and beta map archive that I know of, and I’d be super fascinated to experience any alpha or beta maps you have. (for example that TNT cannon map, I totally understand if you wouldn’t share any personal worlds.) If you can share any with me, I’ll be super grateful, thank you in advance!
@@darkpandalord3844 It's not that I don't like the new features. The game needs to improve, and expand over time. I imagine it's more a changing of myself than a changing of the game, but the feel that alpha had just isn't there for me anymore.
As of now, to the best of my knowledge, between Beta 1.8 and Release 1.7 the world generator changed in these versions: Beta 1.8, Release 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.7. The changes between 1.8, 1.0, and 1.1 are very small, however. It seems that biomes that were unchanged generate the exact same terrain between these versions. The ones that were touched (I think oceans and any snowy biomes but I may be wrong) are the only ones that generate different terrain. I tested this on an extreme hills biome. By using the same seed on Beta 1.8, Release 1.0, and 1.1, if you travel to that biome on each world, the terrain shape is the same.
No.........when I see old versions of Minecraft I say hi to them and think of how old they are...but that's it. Don't get emotional over old versions of Minecraft when there's no reason to.
actually, i went through the versions starting with the oldest Infdev version that used .DAT files instead of .mclevel files and as i went through, i got those large flat cliffs even in other versions of Infdev, mainly when there was a tree bug and when flowers were readded back into the terrain
I heard a story of somebody who had had a single world since beta 1.7.? Supposedly 100 blocks from his house there was a “tumor” that leaked water and lava and even had command blocks. Sadly there is no photo but it sounds cool
Wow, old Minecraft was so bright an colorful. But now it's more dull, soft and realistic. I appreciate that because I don't have to keep my brightness low anymore, or is it just I don't really like bright colors?
1:31 pretty much what he's telling you to do if you're going to do this process is save it on another storage device or at least save it in another file so you have that same world file instead of accidentally deleting it completely I've done that mistake before on the 360 so I know how that feels too lose an entire world progress for that XD
Ant, I have an idea. See how quickly you can destroy the Peaceful Map (At least 90% destroyed) by any means at all in vanilla Minecraft. No mods or one command block creations, but you can still use your own commands typed by hand. (No copy/pasting huge commands to explode everything, and you can't just change the entire Peaceful Map to air. Be creative!)

lol hahhaahha
Rip world
Are all the biomes all over the place, too?
Hacksaw606 Yup.
Its interesting how Minecraft becomes more and more grey and monotone over time. Remember when Minecraft was called a colorful but scary game?
Cuzeg Spiked
A weird trend about he nostalgia community is that they think modern Minecraft looks grey.
minecraft is FAR from grey
DarkPandaLord it literally is a lot more grey. Biome tints became less vibrant over time, with the exception of jungles and maybe 1 or 2 other biomes.
It's just the lighting and the new biomes, nothing grey about it honestly.
I don't know having Guardian temples on land sounds pretty cool
Easier guardian farm access? Sign me up!
I miss the alpha Steve death sound
What made it better? And what makes the new sound worse?
DarkPandaLord the old sound was just better
+Roberto G, I guess it just has to do with nostalgia.
DarkPandaLord or it just sounds better to some people
They probably removed it because

I dont think its pronounced MCRegion as in McDonalds. Its probably pronounced M C Region as an abbriviation of Minecraft
me too and also can i get a MCRegion with large fries?
Do you think people want to say M C region, or mcregion though? It seems much more convenient to say mc as in mcdonalds instead of M C imo

Minecraft is over 7 years old, but most of the fanbase is not.

XD You are so right!
actually most 6 year olds are so stupid that they haven't even developed cognitive functions to be part of shitty fanbases.
Luke Marble True, but they can always be the little kid that uses their sibling's account. XD
gg. im 14 and still play but feel embarrassed to say it just bc of the fanbase
What would happen if you were to load the farlands and then convert to the latest version?
They would not exist; Mojang removed them IIRC Beta 1.8 I believe.
AntVenom DID make a video where you can load the Far Lands into 1.8 Minecraft, but I'm not sure if it will still work in 1.10.
What I mean was generate the farlands, and then load the world up in the latest version. Would the flatlands still be there?
good question
Chaotix_ They won't, sadly. :(
They would be there. Except they would stop generating like that, so you need to generate a lot.

Geez, I haven't watched one of your videos in awhile, and the quality's gotten much better, despite the old stuff also being really good quality.
Boy is this a throwback
Alpha and Beta days were the best days of Minecraft. I still remember that Minecraft Trailer “This is Minecraft”.
it's just nostalgia
The worst part of loading old maps in newer versions, ladders
what, because the skipping every other ladder thing doesn't work now?
@@JupiterBoy100 Im late but indeed they dont work anymore
1: infdev to beta 1.2

I feel the same way dude
"So simple"
Ok so that means you don't like new features? Or what?
"So charming"
Yes, unexplainably true
DarkPandaLord dosnt mean he dosnt like new features just likes the older version
Just alpha 1.1.2 you'll have to load it twice cause when creating a world it crashes but the 2nd time it loads

you can go back from type 3 to type 2 actually but it looks crazy when you have these cliffs two times
Interesting. Useful to me thanks
ant you have change so much since i last saw you! i still love you :D
actually, i went through the versions starting with the oldest Infdev version that used .DAT files instead of .mclevel files and as i went through, i got those large flat cliffs even in other versions of Infdev, mainly when there was a tree bug and when flowers were readded back into the terrain
Thank you!
