I remember my first minecraft world. I built a small medieval city and a castle. I remember what the first building looked like. Ah. I wish I hadn't deleted it. I wish I could visit the castle again...
I’ll never forget my first world either. It’s lost to time at this point since the old laptop it was on died years and years ago now but I remember spawning right next to a village in the desert and for a few updates I just used it as my testing world. It had all kinds of oldschool redstone and minecart tech that people today would think is ridiculous looking and not even want to try to build with what we had back then. I also had a bunch of different item duping methods that I made using Too Many Items back when that existed as a mod which in retrospect was completely useless since I could give myself anything lol. I would give literally anything to be able to get that world back just to relive my first builds. It’s crazy too because I can still see a lot of what I used to have in that world in my head when I think about it
I restarted my first one after a few days, but my second one was my pride and joy for years. Had it all the way back at 1.2.4. Tiny little bungalo that was hiding a massive basement with enchantment rooms, mines, storage, etc. Even an underwater house just offshore of the lake it sat by. I still have the HDD to my old tower kicking around somewhere. All my old worlds, mods, and a ton of stuff for other old games as well. Should dig it up and relive some memories
I remember back in 2012 i made a world where i built some castles and houses. I last opened it in 2017 and then forgot about it. I opened it in 1.18 and i thought it had got corrupted, but by deleting the player data files, my inventory was wiped, but i was able to recover the world and got one of the biggest nostalgia hits ever. Will probably continue building it.
I was also asking myself roughly the same questions over the past few months as I too am obsessed with old forgotten Minecraft History. I stumbled across this video while trying to find more information on this topic and wow what a quest you have set yourself on! I encourage you on this search to keep finding lost media scattered across the vast internet. Channels like you put so much effort into videos such as this so keep at it! -Good luck!
I know this doesn't have much to do with the topic of the video itself, however, I just wanted to tell you how much I love your content. Very seldom have I found content creators that I genuinely love the content of. The way you edit your videos, the effort you put into them, the clear passion put behind the writing and research no matter the subject matter, it all makes up the reason I find so much enjoyment in these videos. Why I eagerly wait to see another upload, so I can sit down and spend some of my free time to follow along with the story of none other than our gracious captain. Anyhow, now that I've thoroughly been weird on the internet: Thank you for the new video! I can't wait to watch another.
Thanks man, I really appreciate this and I'm glad you enjoy the stuff I'm doing. I'll continue to make videos, hopefully you continue to enjoy watching them.
WWhat an amazing video. Really did feel like a journey with u to find the maps and man... That ending was worth it. So slow scroll with the beautiful Minecraft OST made it awesome. Great video man. Truly does deserve more credit
like others have said, i have no relation to minecraft maps, yet your editing and style of video is fascinating. this is such a great video, and underrated even for such a niche subject
I hate to be a downer but his sound mixing is poor and that is an easy turn off. Hearing those whistles for EVERY "S" is grating. Pop filter and audio level mastering. There are plenty of videos on voiceover tips.
@@deadfIag It's not bad to give constructive criticism, but sometimes the presentation of it is key to the person recieving the advice to take it in. Telling someone their "audio mixing is poor" can cause them to shut down, as opposed to saying "What you could do to improve your audio mixing..."
I used to have a Minecraft world that me and my friends played on back in like 2018 or 2019, I forget which year. but it was the best Minecraft world I've ever partaken in. we had an emerald based economy that actually worked, nice houses, nice art pieces, nice scenery. it was a real jackpot. in that world I created the "Anthony elytra company", which sold elytra supplies. it is still a joke in our friend group today. (mainly due to the fact that I didn't even own an elytra when I started it) And I look back on that time extremely fondly. Well, one day I decided I wanted to load up the old world again just to get a blast from the past, so I redownloaded Minecraft bedrock. I had made the world on bedrock before I knew that java and bedrock were separate versions, and later deleted bedrock edition for hard drive space. Unfortunately it turns out, your worlds are not saved on the cloud (for some reason) and rather are burned into your hard drive, and deleting the game... deletes the world. Needless to say I was heartbroken. Remember to always back up your important memories, kids...
i’m so happy i discovered your channel and that you have such a massive backlog of high quality videos. so much love and effort clearly goes into these and it does not go unnoticed 💗
I'm surprised to see that this video has only 2300 views. The quality, the research involved and the great explanations, in my opinion deserve at least 500000 views! I really enjoy this channel and I can't wait for the new videos!
Im coming home from college tomorrow, and this video has made me want to look through my old PC and try and find some old world files. Sure, they're only from 2013, but they're my memories, and I know that it will be cool for me.
Bro, that's *10 years ago.* Its like being in the 2009 and thinking _"I'm gonna check that file in my old computer I hadn't touched since 1999."_ Edit: im dumb, didnt realize your comment was a year old
I've lost all my old worlds due to changing computers and giving away old hard drives to family members. But all the memories I have of them have stayed intact. All the buildings I made and all the adventures I went on will live in my memories until I get an awful disease that makes me forget everything or I die.
i just finished watching your 2b2t video, and now im onto this one. holy shit this channel is a gold mine. i especially loved your insights onto what 2b2t does right and wrong to be categorized as a digital civilisation.
Watching this video, I'm suddenly reminded of a time when me and some past friends made our own Server for us to hang out in and build. I distinctly remember we built various houses and floating islands and even a long, long railway towards somewhere. We even tried building a very tall structure out of a mountain we excavated. I remember how torn we were when we found out that all that work was lost as the former friend I had gotten our server world corrupted and had to revert it back to a previous state. It was sad to see that was the case and we just took a long break after seeing that all that work disappeared. Fast forward a months later and I was digging through the files of an old USB and I forgot that I backed up the file on there. I was absolutely ecstatic to see that the work in progress structure we were building was still there upon opening it. That friend group had moved away to different games when that map got lost sadlly, and it has become a dusty time capsule still backed up on my drive now.
I had a word where i made this grave for a dog that died after like, two months, and one day i was playing and there was a problem with electricity, so my console shot down in the middle of playing, that corrupted some files on the world, and i just got completly deleted, so now i just recreate the grave of my dog in every server, its like a ritual now.
dude i remember recently like a month ago me and my friends had this world we played for 6.5 years and we had end game loot, cool art, cool builds, then the owner of the world who owned a ps4 was playing and his ps4 crashed in the middle of playing the world and there was a glitch if you closed the game *or the game crashes* without leaving the world the world would corrupt and would be unable to be restored. and that happen and my friend forgot to make a new copy of the world and that copy is where spawn was and everybody had nothing. so we lost 6.5 years of memories and progress. that sucked
My first ever 1.2.5 worlds were housed on our family desktop until like 2 years ago, when we seemingly got rid of it (i moved out and only visit home a couple times a year). my dad hoards computers though, and I wonder if that file is somewhere. I’m terrified of corrupting it. It’s insane how intricately I still remember a minecraft map from nearly 10 years ago
Made me remember my old Large City map i made on the Mobile edition of Minecraft about 8-9 Years back on the school bus with a couple of friends. Sadly the phone it was one was send to be recycled some years back after i noticed the battery ballooning out the back. Made with people i have not seen in years, who will most likely also not kept their old phones.
The oldest versions of minecraft are basically impossible to obtain, and most of them are more interesting than any backups and only a few were downloaded as updates could happen LIVE in the oldest versions of minecraft and it would work. Many versions of the game were only played once and updated multiple times a day without any patch notes, and only brought to light when notch decided to change the version number. I was around for this short time of it. Minecrafts first version wasn't even called minecraft. Those are not the oldest maps. I posted a custom map back in early days on my own website back when it was in version 0.012, and yeah the download was dead. The map I lost. That flatgrass was one of the most popular map ever in minecraft and that was so popular because of gmod's flatgrass. People used that map to make machinima's and people actually ported it back to gmod. I had that map, lost that map though too because dead hard drive. That map was 4 or 5 blocks deep of grass then cobblestone which was used on the most amount of servers which in the early day plugins that existed commonly stopped you from breaking cobblestone. You can not really use any of the newest versions of minecraft with those old maps from minecraft "classic". My maps were not the first either as I remember asking how to share my maps, and someone told me, and there was dozens and dozens of maps shared. Most of them were made by the same 3 people but they were not the only people. Hay5000 just shared that map, I don't think he made it.
Thanks for reminding me of this honestly, I have recalled a couple times now that I have a OG Ipad Mini from 2012, what else is on there who knows its been to long to remember, i do recall updating it a few times here and there but at the oldest its been updated too would probably be 2013 if that. Since then its been packed away and forgotten, including the password for it. I recently have found it again and havnt been able to crack it, but i think theres some ways to do so. On there is not only a bunch of old memories for me but also some of my very first minecraft worlds I ever made from the first versions Pocket edition. Definitely will have to recover it all.
It's worth noting that, since much of Minecraft's early community grew from 4chan, there are probably countless maps that were only ever shared on /v/ and as such completely lost to time.
I lost almost all of my old worlds due to hard drive failure back in 2014 (and about the 3 remaining that I had on a USB drive were much older versions with very few builds), needless to say, I back them up a couple times a year now. I wouldn't be surprised if many maps were lost due to the same circumstances, as in 2009 solid state drives were practically unheard of, we were still all using spinning rust hard drives
I have an account on planetminecraft where I uploaded a map back in 2013-2014? And it's just a bad escape room. Fun to re-download it and see what I was even thinking or doing back then since I've been playing since 2012.
Man, this reminds me of this one adventure map playthrough that I am completely blanking on the name of or whoever made it. All I remember is that there was a section involving a grave between three trees that something was found at.
Lol, no wonder Miclee was still active. I remember when he suggested the pigmen; dude was obsessed with getting credit for the idea, he clearly had a lot of his identity tied up in this tangental link to the game
I had some old Windows 10 Edition Beta worlds on my old tablet. Unfortunately the tablet is a potato now and I can’t get the worlds from it, even though they are still there, fully intact. But there were even older worlds on my dad’s iPad 4, but Minecraft was deleted multiple times from there and there was no option to export the worlds before iOS 11 with files app, which the iPad didn’t get
I remember i used to play pocket edition all the time as a kid. I played my survival world for at least 4 years, probably my longest running survival world. It was before pe worlds were bigger so I knew every square inch of the world and probably had almost mined it dry. Since then I got a phone and moved off my parent’s icloud so I really have no idea if that world even still exists
With the explosion in data storage technology over the past couple decades, we might have expected our ability to store information about the recent past to improve. However, the exact opposite has occurred: our present reality has become more ephemeral than ever.
Even though it would be nice if we had a big repository of maps, I think that a lot of what makes those maps special is the fact that they are hard or even impossible to find. There would be no special mystery or excitement of exploration if they were all readily available. Well, it's cool to explore even new maps, but it's a lot cooler when those maps are obscure and hard to find, like those 400 from the repository you found.
I am an administrator of a small Minecraft smp server. And for me it has always been important to have many backups and even snapshots of the map. I promised myself that if I have to shut down the server premanently, that everyone will get a download link and that I will try to keep it available as long as possible.
I purge data all the time and this video made me realize somehow, beyond comprehension, i still have my beta minecraft world from 08-09 or so when i was in middle school lol.
I remember my first Minecraft world. I built the big wooden house in the construction handbook. I didn’t delete it, but it’s stuck on an old nabi tablet. I tried to transfer it to my pc, but whenever I looked in the Minecraft world folder it would say there were 0 files in it, despite the world not only being on the device, but still playable too. This might have to do with the fact that I had to download a file explorer since the device didn’t come with one. Also the device is so old Minecraft is being discontinued on it so it seems like I’m running out of time to solve this problem. If anyone could explain what I could do to access the file it would be much appreciated.
I have a PS4 disc from ~2019 or something, it has a lot of pre 1.18 maps, and they are still playable, but, I don't have a hard drive or know how to move them onto a USB drive, if you know how to move them, I would like to give them to an archive site
This respiked my interest of attempting to recover my old xbox 360 saves back from early 2013. I lost my worlds while attempting to export my worlds to the xbox one but hopefully I can recover them. Ill update on how the recovery goes.
i have minecraft bedrock edition on my ps4 and ive had minecraft on the ps4 for a long time and theres a button on the main menu of it that says "editions" and when i press it it gives me a pop up that says something like "you are about to play a version of minecraft thats no longer updated" and if i press the play button it brings me to the old minecraft playstation 4 edition and its the ocean update of the game and also it has a tutorial and minigames and also i will go get the seed for the tutorial world and come back to this comment and edit it and give you the seed BUT it might not work because its a older version of minecraft and also i think the minecraft playstation 4 edition is java edition even tho it dosent say if its java or bedrock so yea... (sorry if this comment makes no sense)
AHhh.. this video made me remember the first time I ever played Minecraft. At that time, i made a prety nice house, with a lot of things that a 14 yo kid would be experimenting to- Unfortunately, even thi I'd love to see that world again, I deleted it alongside all my minecraft folder, because of a failed mod install.... Fortunately i think i still have some of my old Minecraft mods, from the 1.2.5 of 1.3.1 era.. Maybe i'll go on and check them out thanks to this video :'3
This inspires me to start working on my Beta 1.8 map again. It's being made in the 1.18 era, but is in B1.8 itself. Not the same, but a grasp at it. I have a handful of Xbox 360 worlds that were made at the very start if the game (my survival being TU6 since the TU1 was deleted by a bug). I don't think they're much, but like you said... Heck, one of the creative mode worlds so gloriously named "Random Pointlessness" had transcended off of my 360 and made it into Java 1.18.1 where it's still getting random pointless stuff added to it in a server my friends and I play on. Double heck, I have a few adventure maps on the 360 that I remade on Java. If you ever want to watch me go through my old stuff or play them yourself (at least the remade versions), hit me up.
most of our old beta etc maps were archived, i assume nobody would ever actually want them, its all cobble and wood bases and wool pixel art like everything else was. ive been around for the entire length of the game and i don't see how what we were doing back then is any different to what players are doing now. i get for the younger crowd this is history but for us it was the last fad of our gaming years
I tried to download Dead Prison because I wanted to relive the old DanTDM days. But to my dismay, the link is dead and only leads to virus ads. It's probably forever lost now, I don't know if anyone even remembers it lol.
Of anyone sees this please tell me if there's a way to retrieve a minecraft world from an old tablet that won't turn on, or if there's anyone i can send it to that can do that, i haven't been able to get any answers anywhere else.
Shit man, I wonder about old PE maps. Back in 2011/2012, it was the only way I could play Minecraft, and I would download maps from honestly, I don't even know where. I have a broken samsung galaxy and iPad that these were once on, but are most likely corrupted at this point and I wouldn't even know how to extract them if not.
fuck, now i miss my first world. I was 8, it was in minecraft 1.8, on a creative amplified world, in a taiga biome with a flat plains biome under it. It had a villager hotel and a farm in the plains biome, a chicken farm, a bunch of horses, and a minecart "rollercoaster" up to the taiga biome. The taiga biome had a couple of houses, one of them i covered the floor with cakes, another that i built only out of polished granite, and it had an around 50*100 area that i had manually flattened. (this took hours and honestly had no real reason behind it, since the only thing i built on it was a tnt cannon). I played on that world until my mom's laptop ran out of storage, and i ran into problems where some of my builds would just randomly duplicate. Looking back, it was a shitty map, but i had a lot of fun developing it.
7777 7777 77 jjjjjj jjjj jjj jjjjjj 7777 7.... any thoughts on that kid? hm? ANY? any at all? I didn’t think so, bud.
Who?

What does this mean KRB?

I remember my first minecraft world. I built a small medieval city and a castle. I remember what the first building looked like. Ah. I wish I hadn't deleted it. I wish I could visit the castle again...
I think my oldest worlds are lost, but I have a broken tablet with very old worlds that I'd love to get off it some day.
@@Ganpan14Olook into data recovery. It's not that expensive.

My first Minecraft NIGHT I stayed in a desert well because I didn't know how to build a hut or anything.
I restarted my first one after a few days, but my second one was my pride and joy for years. Had it all the way back at 1.2.4. Tiny little bungalo that was hiding a massive basement with enchantment rooms, mines, storage, etc. Even an underwater house just offshore of the lake it sat by.

I lost almost all of my old worlds due to hard drive failure back in 2014 (and about the 3 remaining that I had on a USB drive were much older versions with very few builds), needless to say, I back them up a couple times a year now.
I wouldn't be surprised if many maps were lost due to the same circumstances, as in 2009 solid state drives were practically unheard of, we were still all using spinning rust hard drives
Never Forget it Memorys. how this game came out and map came out too.
Something something, last time I was this early, something something, forsaken youtube videos?
bruh, why has this only 8k views. its such a well edited and interesting video
I brought back a very old survival world from an old laptop I had. I'm extremely grateful that it worked. I shall cherish it.
I have an account on planetminecraft where I uploaded a map back in 2013-2014? And it's just a bad escape room. Fun to re-download it and see what I was even thinking or doing back then since I've been playing since 2012.
Man, this reminds me of this one adventure map playthrough that I am completely blanking on the name of or whoever made it. All I remember is that there was a section involving a grave between three trees that something was found at.
What version was it?
@@colonel_yuri As with this whole thing, I can't remember.
Sometime around 2012-2014 maybe?
Excellent!
I've never played minecraft, despite having bought it multiple times. I think that's the definition of a successful title.
Flatgrass is a name I have not heard in ages. That woke a really old memory.
Lol, no wonder Miclee was still active. I remember when he suggested the pigmen; dude was obsessed with getting credit for the idea, he clearly had a lot of his identity tied up in this tangental link to the game
I had some old Windows 10 Edition Beta worlds on my old tablet. Unfortunately the tablet is a potato now and I can’t get the worlds from it, even though they are still there, fully intact. But there were even older worlds on my dad’s iPad 4, but Minecraft was deleted multiple times from there and there was no option to export the worlds before iOS 11 with files app, which the iPad didn’t get
I remember i used to play pocket edition all the time as a kid. I played my survival world for at least 4 years, probably my longest running survival world. It was before pe worlds were bigger so I knew every square inch of the world and probably had almost mined it dry. Since then I got a phone and moved off my parent’s icloud so I really have no idea if that world even still exists
somewhere out there, in a dusty IDE hard drive, there is the first minecraft custom map, and we might never see it
Uaaaaa!!! Too much video quality !!
With the explosion in data storage technology over the past couple decades, we might have expected our ability to store information about the recent past to improve.
However, the exact opposite has occurred: our present reality has become more ephemeral than ever.
Such an underrated channel
17:22 Actually it's also the case for any file
Like if you still have your first minecraft world. Mine was generated back in beta 1.2.
I remember back in 2013 when Minecraft was actually downloadable and free, now I have to pay for it
Even though it would be nice if we had a big repository of maps, I think that a lot of what makes those maps special is the fact that they are hard or even impossible to find.
There would be no special mystery or excitement of exploration if they were all readily available. Well, it's cool to explore even new maps, but it's a lot cooler when those maps are obscure and hard to find, like those 400 from the repository you found.
I am an administrator of a small Minecraft smp server. And for me it has always been important to have many backups and even snapshots of the map. I promised myself that if I have to shut down the server premanently, that everyone will get a download link and that I will try to keep it available as long as possible.
yay underrated video time
I purge data all the time and this video made me realize somehow, beyond comprehension, i still have my beta minecraft world from 08-09 or so when i was in middle school lol.
10:43 history was made
I remember my first Minecraft world. I built the big wooden house in the construction handbook. I didn’t delete it, but it’s stuck on an old nabi tablet. I tried to transfer it to my pc, but whenever I looked in the Minecraft world folder it would say there were 0 files in it, despite the world not only being on the device, but still playable too. This might have to do with the fact that I had to download a file explorer since the device didn’t come with one. Also the device is so old Minecraft is being discontinued on it so it seems like I’m running out of time to solve this problem. If anyone could explain what I could do to access the file it would be much appreciated.
lovin this channel
I have a PS4 disc from ~2019 or something, it has a lot of pre 1.18 maps, and they are still playable, but, I don't have a hard drive or know how to move them onto a USB drive, if you know how to move them, I would like to give them to an archive site
how the hell dose this only have two and a half thousand views
This respiked my interest of attempting to recover my old xbox 360 saves back from early 2013. I lost my worlds while attempting to export my worlds to the xbox one but hopefully I can recover them. Ill update on how the recovery goes.
no luck with scanning for lost files on the drive. Ill cheak my main hard drive and xbox cloud save tomorrow.
When the pie hits
hmm interesting video idea
"Playing in the first ever Minecraft maps"
i have minecraft bedrock edition on my ps4 and ive had minecraft on the ps4 for a long time and theres a button on the main menu of it that says "editions" and when i press it it gives me a pop up that says something like "you are about to play a version of minecraft thats no longer updated" and if i press the play button it brings me to the old minecraft playstation 4 edition and its the ocean update of the game and also it has a tutorial and minigames and also i will go get the seed for the tutorial world and come back to this comment and edit it and give you the seed BUT it might not work because its a older version of minecraft and also i think the minecraft playstation 4 edition is java edition even tho it dosent say if its java or bedrock so yea... (sorry if this comment makes no sense)
I really want to get my old 2017 worlds from when I started playing mc!
I Call “Maps” “ Adventure Worlds”.
I wish i could get access to my old worlds. I never had minecraft as a kid so they're all on other computers and systems.
How i miss my old lab.
AHhh..
this video made me remember the first time I ever played Minecraft.
At that time, i made a prety nice house, with a lot of things that a 14 yo kid would be experimenting to-
Unfortunately, even thi I'd love to see that world again, I deleted it alongside all my minecraft folder, because of a failed mod install....
Fortunately i think i still have some of my old Minecraft mods, from the 1.2.5 of 1.3.1 era..
Maybe i'll go on and check them out thanks to this video :'3
This inspires me to start working on my Beta 1.8 map again. It's being made in the 1.18 era, but is in B1.8 itself. Not the same, but a grasp at it.
I have a handful of Xbox 360 worlds that were made at the very start if the game (my survival being TU6 since the TU1 was deleted by a bug). I don't think they're much, but like you said...
Heck, one of the creative mode worlds so gloriously named "Random Pointlessness" had transcended off of my 360 and made it into Java 1.18.1 where it's still getting random pointless stuff added to it in a server my friends and I play on.
Double heck, I have a few adventure maps on the 360 that I remade on Java. If you ever want to watch me go through my old stuff or play them yourself (at least the remade versions), hit me up.
I accidentally deleted my oldest map - started 2010 in Alpha 1.1.0 - from an external harddrive and I'm still sad about it to this day :(
Yeah, I got a Flatgrass map.
This is painfully nistalgic.
RIP old MInecraft
I think the earliest map would be on 4chan but the archives may not go that far back
Ive cleared and reinstalled my drives soooo many times since. I have a few early beta worlds on probably dead media xD
I still have a whole folder of my minecraft worlds from 2010-2013 or so, I'll have to upload them!
why are you lowering your voice
I agree
amazing video, i call that you will reach 500k subs before 2023
most of our old beta etc maps were archived, i assume nobody would ever actually want them, its all cobble and wood bases and wool pixel art like everything else was. ive been around for the entire length of the game and i don't see how what we were doing back then is any different to what players are doing now. i get for the younger crowd this is history but for us it was the last fad of our gaming years
Shut up I’m watching Minecraft lost worlds by Captain KRB
I tried to download Dead Prison because I wanted to relive the old DanTDM days. But to my dismay, the link is dead and only leads to virus ads. It's probably forever lost now, I don't know if anyone even remembers it lol.
Never played Minecraft in my life. Still, so interesting!
Oh and i learned another expression: backwards compatibility. Yo
Surprised he didn't use the Wayback Machine.
i see some Nexpo influence in the editing
I lose a world every morning, if you catch the drift
Are you thinking of starting a Patreon?
not right now, but maybe at some point in the future : )
Of anyone sees this please tell me if there's a way to retrieve a minecraft world from an old tablet that won't turn on, or if there's anyone i can send it to that can do that, i haven't been able to get any answers anywhere else.
I play mine craft? Not really, I found it boring, but this video is far from boring, good job.
Here’s a real challenge for you. Find a RUclips video essay that has 0 curse words. Good luck.
Dont worry im not a bot
Holy shit why is the channel so damn small needs another 100k atleast
Wait, you read your comments?
on occasion
Why are you called captain KGB
Nobody's interested in web mirrors anymore.
Shit man, I wonder about old PE maps. Back in 2011/2012, it was the only way I could play Minecraft, and I would download maps from honestly, I don't even know where. I have a broken samsung galaxy and iPad that these were once on, but are most likely corrupted at this point and I wouldn't even know how to extract them if not.
fuck, now i miss my first world. I was 8, it was in minecraft 1.8, on a creative amplified world, in a taiga biome with a flat plains biome under it. It had a villager hotel and a farm in the plains biome, a chicken farm, a bunch of horses, and a minecart "rollercoaster" up to the taiga biome. The taiga biome had a couple of houses, one of them i covered the floor with cakes, another that i built only out of polished granite, and it had an around 50*100 area that i had manually flattened. (this took hours and honestly had no real reason behind it, since the only thing i built on it was a tnt cannon). I played on that world until my mom's laptop ran out of storage, and i ran into problems where some of my builds would just randomly duplicate.
Looking back, it was a shitty map, but i had a lot of fun developing it.
Did you ever watch Stampy? This post reminds me of that sort of world, with crazy ambition.
@@PixelatedCube64 yeah i did, for a while
@@ganondalf8090 that’s so cool! I hope you remember your world forever
the first map i made was in 2017 lol that was when i was 6 yrs old
