  • Minecraft is easily one of the most innovative, groundbreaking and successful indie games of all time. Being seen as not only a great piece of entertainment, but also effective enough to be used inside classrooms around the world. Today we'll be looking into every possible aspect of Minecraft, analysing it's development stages, and seeing how this small passion project ended up ballooning into a multi-billion dollar franchise.

      Sometimes you gotta show your skills with what's popular first, to garner a wider fan base.
      Thankfully for us, he clearly is a seasoned and passionate Minecraft veteran (I maintain that one never quits Minecraft; one just takes breaks). So we got a terrific and lengthy video.
      Honestly he deserves all the hype he generates from this video. It is done better and more in depth than most Minecraft History Of or Retrospective videos I've seen, and I've sought out many. He is very concise. And is sure not to stray too far on tangents as well, assuring us that he will delve further into a concept when it becomes more relevant.

      I felt the same way. Maybe I do not understand what a retrospective is, but it feels like the video become more of an encyclopedic report of Minecraft features. I feel like a retrospective should be more personal than that, like it is coming from a person's own experience rather than reading about it on a wiki or playing through the old versions in the current day.
      On a separate note, overall the video is fine, but towards the end it feels like some of the information isn't given fully. It's always very minor things, like him saying that sponges can only be gotten from elder guardians, or that the only difference between guardians and elder guardians is their size and texture. By themselves these are not problems, but the fact that there is information missing about the modern game makes me doubt how accurate the information is on the early stages of development. I do not know enough about early Minecraft to know if the creator is properly explaining everything, so I worry that there could be missing context that he simply left out.

    • @SnrubSource

      Yeah, it was good for 1 hour and a half and then it started to get pretty inaccurate. Mobs didn't ignore you in Creative from the start, iirc that was only added in 1.2.5 (or even later). Before that, they'd always target you lol. Also, the footage mismatch was annoying

    • @lunecker

      Thats mostly because its actually a small youtuber so theres many mistakes in editing. It also really bothered me that instead of using a version that he was talking about, he used random versions for no reason. Also there were many mistakes with some things he was talking about, but i would have to rewatch it to tell you what the mistakes were and i dont care enough to do that. Also 1:50:42 wtf??? why? whats the point of that?

    • @lunecker
      @lunecker 9 месяцев назад +5

      I red a lot about old minecraft versions and updates and he really missed a lot of things he could have talked about, but to be honest it would take a LOT of time to read about every single change there was made in minecraft. Also he kept talking about that theres no audio in early versions, but its just a client problem, theres a free BetaCraft client that has every single old minecraft version ever found by community, and theres audio in every single one of them. This video could been a lot better even if only he just used that client.

  • @unholyphish
    @unholyphish 11 месяцев назад +116

    Since no one else has commented about it yet, I'll give a brief overview on why the older versions of the game don't have sounds on the modern launcher.
    The sounds were (and still are) stored on a cloud server. The game doesn't actually ship with any of these files, and when you launch it for the first time it will ask this server for those files. Once the game has downloaded those files once it will remember them, but it will still ask the server for updated files every time you launch. This means that it will still have the files offline without internet.
    The problem though is that this server that the game uses is hard coded into the game, and at some point in 2010/2011 this server changed and the old server no longer exists. This means that any version before alpha 1.2.0 is attempting to download files from a server that doesn't exist. It's been reported on the minecraft bug tracker for many years but I don't think Mojang are going to address it any time soon sadly.
    TL;DR: Old versions of the game are coded to ask for the files from a server that no longer exists, so it won't have sound.
    There may be some inaccuracies from my summary, but I'm going off of memory here.
    There is a way to get around this, though it is 3rd party. Someone made a specific launcher called BetaCraft for minecraft versions before the 1.0 release and it includes a fix for this issue by using its own server for the files. I'd recommend using this launcher in general for any version of the game before the 1.0 release. (I'll also mention it has a mod browser for really old minecraft mods and newer mods that improve these older versions of the game. The UI is a bit clunky but it's better than nothing)
    Edit: Forgot to mention BetaCraft oof.

    Just leaving a little constructive criticism because I think this video is good but I wish that you'd kept giving information about things happening in the background of Minecraft's development as it went on. Minecraft to me isn't just a single game but this massive platform, so a lot of this video ends up feeling like it's just going over information most players already know instead of really expanding out into the communal aspect, how it blew up the RUclips space, Mojang's buyout by Microsoft and Notch's departure, the game kind of falling off for a while until a massive resurgence, etc.
    A lot of that stuff is just as, if not more, interesting as the game itself, and I'm sure with Minecon and dev blogs/interviews there's a lot of insights on the how and why of some features that would make for a much more engaging watch than just checklisting every feature in the game. The first hour or so of the video feels as if it gets that, and then just gets lost in talking about feature after feature that anyone who's played Minecraft even semi recently is already well aware of.

Use ladders to climb up, then cut them down from the top to the bottom and the ladders pop off as you work your way down. It's quick, easy, and I don't have to remove scaffolding I built just to get up there or, god forbid, just leave floating tree tops around because it's too much hassle to climb up in the first place.

    Back in the early alpha stages that sense of mystery and discovery in regards to crafting is what made the game so unique and interesting. I remember putting random blocks into the crafting section and accidentally discovering a new recipe. It was so satisfying after trying 10+ combinations then finally seeing something new pop up in the output slot. Then figuring out patterns and figuring out more recipes feeling like a big brain and having thoughts like “what if I tried making a furnace out of wood, woah a chest”. I’m not sure if the wiki didn’t exist yet or if I just wasn’t aware of it yet but it was a very unique feeling that I haven’t felt with any other game. Then when someone showed me the wiki with the crafting recipes I remember being blown away seeing how many things I had missed.

    I think that this video does one thing better than any other video on Minecraft that I've seen, and that is displaying how massive Minecraft is as a game. It really manages to cover almost every aspect. The long development history, the game mechanics, the various biomes/structures/creatures/items, the community made content, the feeling one gets when playing the game while listening to its wonderful music. It has everything along with many personal remarks and actual relevant gameplay that makes the video feel less like just reading the wiki.
    This video lives up to its name.

      And still a lot of things were missing, like how they didn't mentioned the snow golem, the swamp/desert fossils, amethyst didn't mentioned 2 of the big uses it has as well as didn't mentioned most of redstone components and what quartz is used for this, they also didn't mentioned slime blocks and honey blocks in that note.
      Followed by a lot of things honestly being wrong or quite incomplete.
      Which is not against the video tbh, this is by a lot impressive and I am impressed even at how correct most of this were because I would have been wrong in many parts if I tried.
      But it does show how massive the game is if there is even a lot of minor mechanics which many end up adding a lot of depth to the game, specially with redstone but also with a lot of the mob behaviors like zombies which are actually filled with a lot of complexity all around, and things like local difficulty and moon cycle and also the not mentioned froglights and yeah overall very very crazy how even with all of this, there's still content for more hours of saying all there is.

    12:14 This is very likely due to the fact that this game is made on Java, and the values of block coordinates can only go up to powers of 2, which would put the limit for blocks at either 64 or 128 in this case.

Not that it's low, but that I would expect this quality from someone with at least 500k subs. That's truly what you deserve.

    Those ending credits hit different once it's explained in this detail... wow.
    Can't believe I'm saying this, but... I feel like I'm being spoken to there, that perhaps I've.. felt the smallest pieces of tears forming, not actually crying but... forming. From Minecraft, a game I've played for years now.

    Alright just some notes for this video to help you out:
    8:22 The Minecraft launcher does include a lot of older builds of Minecraft, however it is missing a lot of found versions of Minecraft from preclassic up to release 1.5.2. Other launchers such as Betacraft let you have access to such versions unavailable in the launcher.
    17:20 If I am not mistaken the Minecraft Launcher messes up the terrain.png file for certain classic versions which is why the sapling has the newer texture in the older builds.
    24:27 sound was added in late classic versions. I believe that the Minecraft launcher(yep another vanilla launcher issue) does not have a sound proxy which is why you cant hear any sounds despite having the option to turn it on or off. The Betacraft launcher fixes this issue entirely
    25:16 Chat worked in multi-player mode
    29:41 TNT is and can be able to be primed and exploded in c0.30. However, the gamemode has to be changed to creative to survival
    32:10 Food was actually present in survival test (before c0.30) in the form that brown mushrooms healed you and red mushrooms and enemies hurt you
    36:49 Classic worlds used to save to the Minecraft online servers which do not work anymore which is why the save/load feature does not work anymore in classic versions.
    37:37 Water in this version (Infdev) only negates fall damage to a certain extent [As seen with the clip shown previously].
    37:52 Pigs were not a new mob to Infdev, and were present as early as Survival Test 0.25
    38:12 Health Regenerated in peaceful mode.
    Also great video. I will finish it someday. 😅

    I think the issue with sound in early versions of the game has to do with the way that Minecraft (used to?) load sound files. Every time the game was launched, they would be downloaded from a server somewhere on the web, and I believe that the URL that old versions of the game went to became defunct at some point.
    EDIT: I watched 15 more minutes and just found that you acknowledged this whoops

    4:44:20 i feel you so hard. I kind of quit Minecraft a few weeks or month after the 1.5 was released. It took until 1.12 to start playing it again.
    ALl the features and new things are nice, but also confusing to me.
    I just talked to a 13 year old kid, which means, it was not even half my age. It talked with such a confidence about tthings in the game to me, that are just a mystery to me. Some automatic farms, new Blocks all that stuff.
    I kind of feel old xD
    What shocked me was, how shocked it was, when I told him I only play on 1 sever. He was as confused about that fact, as I was that he was confused.
    Also the playing for fun and not for efficiency semms to me a strange concept to the kid as well.

The amount of work and sleepless nights this must have taken is immeasurable, and I hope you rest your voice for a while, you have a good one.

    40:15 - Minecraft doesn’t check the thickness of the overhead leaves here. Every block exposed to the sky gets a light value of 15 (during day). Every adjacent block that isn’t exposed to the sky gets a light value of 14, then 13, and so on. Sunlight works just like any of the light source blocks, but ambient and dependent on the day/night cycle and a clear vertical path to the sky

    I love making this point. I dabbled in Alpha but mostly started seriouslt in Beta once I got the game for myself. The older versions do indeed hold up as their own game and experience. It did for quite awhile.
    A lot of people I introduced it to ever since the console versions came out couldn't find a lot of merit in playing Beta for hours the way I used to. The way many still do, really.
    Edit: One aspect I'd say was so interesting back then was having more limited blocks. I found it made for a slightly more intuitive and less daunting task of experimenting with crafting recipes. I purposefully did not look up youtube guides (unless I felt I had thoroughly exhausted my options; I didn't want to spend forever trying to craft something that may not exist either). I didn't have internet in my house for my younger gaming days, so I was always used to figuring out games, even secrets and easter eggs, just by playing the game.
    Having the in game recipe book (menu, rather) is nice when you can't remember something on the fly, but I do find newer players are less likely to want to experiment with using different resources into shapes that you think might make something. And I feel like there's something to be said for the experience of improving through learning by trial of failures and successes.
    It would be nice if the recipe book wasn't up be default, but you had the option to have it open by default.
    Just to incentivize, or coax rather, players to try out a couple recipes by hand. I don't wanna be too much of a "back in my day!" kind of player but it is nice to see people make a solid attempt.
    No hate to anyone who would always and forever love to just use the recipe book for whatever personal reasons though.
