Let me know on twitter how long it took for you to buy minecraft! - twitter.com/TheMisterEpicYT/status/1563702927344091136 Join my discord - discord.gg/WGc9UNM
I first played bedrock, really wanted to play java. Started with bedrock, ended up with java because of bedrock & java microsoft thing. But these days, i realized java can be bad to play at some PCs, some lag (like mine) Java takes time to load the map, while in bedrock it rarely gives lag spikes (unless in pocket edition id say.) , Loads quickly for most people, and indeed has a kind of better experience, but java id say is better. More servers, Even though bedrock support most servers are for java and stuff, going back to the topic, i would sincerely and honestly say atleast 2 or 3 years.
Very similar to the original DOOM in alot of ways. There was an official shareware version of it that thousands of people copied and distributed which definitely not only helped spread the game like wildfire but also helped the game gain a ton of sales and become one of the most well-known PC games of its era
These videos keep sending me down memory lane, gotta love the wild west days of minecraft. It's getting more difficult to talk about the old days of minecraft to these newer players, especially when I mention "oh I remember how excited I was for 1.8 (beta) to release" and they think I'm just a super fan of diorite. Strongholds were the talk of the middleschool lunch table.
I started playing when 1.8 was released, my mom had bought it for me, then my account got hacked somehow and I've been playing on cracked launchers ever since
This is almost the exact same way I was introduced to Minecraft. My friend told me about it in middle school. Went home and googled the game to try and find a cracked version online. Started out with old Alpha Minecraft but believed it to be the current version of the game. Doing some more digging online, I found that exact launcher at 1:59 and used it for about a year and a half. It worked, flawlessly. I didn't change launchers until I bought the game in 2012
When I first heard of Minecraft, my parents bought us the bedrock edition since we had no computer to play on and bedrock was the only available version for Xbox. And like you can guess, it was my greatest time at my childhood when I play the game constantly every day. I watched a lot of survival videos back then and I saw that all of them had a lot of stuff in Minecraft that I did not have, like the combat system when you can swing a sword after a cooldown, the launcher, the constant updates, the mods, hypixel, etc. And I REALLY wanted that, But then after a couple of months I heard of java edition which was the version of Minecraft that all of the RUclipsrs I have watched for years played on. I wanted my parents to buy it but MY GOD was it expensive. (90 ILS) after a lot of convincing my dad tried to buy the game for me and my brother but before he could pay for the it informed us that his laptop did not have enough storage left to download it, I was super sad, I desperately tried deleting files that we didn't need but I thought that all of the files were at the desktop and I didn't really know about the File Explorer. So me and my younger brother played cracked versions of java, we couldn't join most servers because it would say that we are banned, and hypixel was my dream server to play on. One time I got a cracked account and it said that I'm banned from hypixel for about 14 days! (that was very little) But then I realised that no matter what I either get banned again or the account doesn't work anymore. But at least I had an amazing time in singleplayer... But it just wasn't enough. But finally, after a LONG journey, I got the game a couple of years ago when my mom got a new and much better laptop from her job (I still use it to this day, I'm planning on buying an actual PC with the money I get from my bar mitzva) and I was delighted that I could finally open hypixel without it saying that I'm banned. I started playing, and the rest is history. (Hey if you read this far you are cool and thank you).
@@ፔ̇_ፔ̇ badically I didn't have money or a computer to buy Minecraft so I cracked it and made some core memories and after a lot of time and begging I finally got Minecraft java on my mom's new laptop and had an amazing childhood. I think.
It's really weird to hear "cracked Minecraft", all people I know in Poland called it "NonPremium" and paid version is called "Premium", so for years I thought NonPremium was just an official Minecraft port, but without paying
Back in 2011-2013 when I was a cracked player, we referred to normal servers as premium servers, as the message you would get upon trying to connect to such a server was "user not premium". We still called cracked servers, cracked servers though
This video brought back so many memories. Back on 2012, a friend from school recommended me this game, back then, my father didn't let me download things from the internet, so my first experience with the game was with minecraft classic. I still remember my first ever base. I made a little shelter made out of logs, after that, I went to the middle of the ocean and made a glass base underwater, I remember how magical this game felt. After a week of begging, my father finally gave me the green light to download it, and then I downloaded the launcher "anjocaido" and I played the game for 4 years until I eventually bought it.
I remember my father showed the game to the family in 2011. He heard about it from a colleague. Then we had a lot of fun playing, but there were only 3 laptops, and we were 4 players (familiy of 5, my mother didn't play). So I usually just ended up watching. It was a ton of fun though. Then, years later, I realized that the world which we usually played on still existed, and played on it. Yes, "played" means I broke every bit of glass and left, what'd you expect of 13yo me ?
My brother told me about Minecraft in 2014 after he had watched youtube videos and it took us a while to download a cracked version. This game is my childhood and the only reason why I am good at English today.
I remember using the Salwyer Cracked Client during school and liked it, 1 it had a username and password system, 2 it allowed me to change skins, and 3 I remember Minecraft being able to run smooth and there were options that made it like a pvp client
I remember back in 6th grade my friends and I would play a pirated version of the game in the school library and (possibly?) gave the computers a virus.
With video game preservation being awful and the recent HBO Max fiasco, I've come to appreciate piracy. It gives media that is not accessible anymore (or very hard to access) a second life. Piracy can be harmful, I agree, but saying it's an entirely bad thing is not true. A price tag on anything instantly removes thousands if not millions of people that could've consumed that media, that's why free games are so incredibly popular, there's no harm to try it. But there were always be harmful uses of piracy, and that will always outshine that small but significant amount of good in it.
@@capnsteele3365 most of them cost pretty cheap tho, so I feel that many pirates eventually buy the game if it actually is good enough for its price (like terraria, which price was $2-3 in my country at one moment, completely ridiculous). Although if indie games try to go AAA and set the price at like $40 for 15 hours of gameplay, ofc piracy would be devastating to them, no sane person would pay $40 for a small indie game.
for those who are interested in TLauncher - DONT! Only TLauncher legacy is not infected with spyware, but it would be really hard to find it because the current tlauncher team is trying to get rid of it. There was a huge drama with Tlauncher including copyright claims that basically killed the "good" tlauncher and instead we got a "new" version, that looked more fancy but was infected with tons of ads and spyware. this is coming from someone who used tlauncher since it came out in 2013-2014 till I finally bought the game in 2020.(I was using TLauncher legacy obviously and told all my friends to use it instead of spyware that new tlauncher was)
yeah i played Minecraft on my phone for a few years on a pirated version of Minecraft pe when i was younger. when i got a job i bought it on windows and on android. i love minecraft
I first saw Minecraft in my cousin's house. I was instantly hooked, and as soon as I got home found and downloaded a cracked version and played that. Still playing the game after 9 years. Of course, I bought it some years later It's weird that more companies don't realize the benefits of piracy to the popularity and total sales of a game
It's not weird, just that most companies don't make good games, just remakes of ancient games with false promises so they bank on people pre-buying and buying day one before they can realize the game is actually shit. Every good game has never been scared of piracy, as it only boosts the sales in the end.
There's games and other media that totally got ruined due to piracy and having no income. My rule is, pirate it if you have to. Try it out, if you like it buy it or remove it. Obviously big games like games from EA wont feel the pirating but smaller indie games will, so dont pirate indie.
thing is, its not piracy thats popular, its the fact that its free, wich can easily be accomplished whit a trial version, wich could simplpy be a much earlier version or s triped-down version of the full game, that does not feature a limit on how long you can play. this allows people to test the game for free and to see if the actually like it so they can buy the full version and get all the extra fetures it has compared to the trial version. in fact, minecraft does have a trial version, i played it both on console and pc. the pc version is limitted to 3 hours, but you can just restart the world, and even tho its the same world, you now know more about the game and can get more done.
I remember the first time I downloaded it in 2012 . I was 11 and on vacation with some family and since we usually didnt have the internet at home, I brought my laptop to download what I could to take home with me. one of the those things was a few files to get Minecraft 1.2.5 and a few months later, I spent some of my allowance that I saved up to fully buy the game so I could check out the updates when they came out and play on servers when I had some web access. Since pirating Minecraft, I have purchased it over 11 times and will probably never find another game that can fascinate me like this.
I remember I wasn't able to get Minecraft at first when I was younger, my friend at the time told me you could do pretty much everything in the game, found a free version which had all the updates, using a web browser for it. I did get my account I use to this day in 2012, some of the people I used to play with still used a cracked version, which we all played on a cracked faction server. Honestly some of my most memorable memories of the game, the server would eventually shutdown, someone used the login command and got into an Admin account.
Something else to note is that console edition allowed people to play for free if they were playing the tutorial. As far as I can remember you could play for about an hour before it made you stop playing
Correction, at 6:49, the tweet actually says "...don't forget to feel bad..." which means Notch wanted the players using the cracked version to feel bad about not buying the official game and supporting him directly.
Had a different experience with receiving minecraft for the first time. Started off with the demo on console edition, because dad found it on the PlayStation store for free and decided to give it a shot. We became hooked, and after asking him for a while, got the full game. Never regretted that choice.
The fact that there are people who think cracked players are cringe just because they didn't bought the game it's the most cringe thing ever. Like, who cares man, let people have fun For those who play cracked MC, I think that the best cracked server is an Spanish server called universocraft, it obviously lacks many features compared to hypixel, but as someone who regularly plays in both servers, the difference is really not that big
CD Project Red, a wise game dev studio once had a rep said on record that piracy is good for game sales. Makes me wonder why so many companies go through the effort of making their game shittier (with denuvo) just to delay the piracy, at most, a few weeks. For a broader conversation this topic brings up, it feels as though copyright laws are WAY out of date with the speed and ease information can be replicated and shared. These days, 120 years upon inception for a company or life plus 70 sounds absurdly long and enforcing it only kills your game's sales, as minecraft and the witcher games demonstrate.
Gabe Newell at Valve also said a similar thing to this. He said piracy was mostly a service issue, and that high convenience makes it easy for people to just drop some dollars on a game or something. Steam got as successful as it did because of that philosophy (and because Valve made some really cool games, at least before the great drought of no games in between Dota 2, which didn't appeal to Valve's OG first person shooter audience anyway, and Half Life Alyx).
@@HorseDe-luxe not only those factors but pirates quite literally get a better experience than paying customers as cracked versions of games have the DRM disabled
I would say that the mentality of piracy being bad comes not from the devs, but the publishers. Furthermore, I'd even go so far as to theorize that it dates back to a time when video games where either something you played at an arcade, or lacked general enjoyment in replayability. Minecraft was able to turn the piracy into profit through things like expanding features with updates that were hard to get unless you purchased a legit copy, and reliable online multiplayer. More so, Notch was the dev and publisher of early Minecraft. At the time he didn't have anyone else to answer to. I would still, personally, say that pirated copies of a game that is in active distribution should not be completable. However that term "active distribution" is the key there. Once the publishing studio stops producing or distribution a title, it's fair game and the publishers can go suck eggs in regards to piracy as far as I'm concerned.
IKR! Copywrite used to only be 20 years. Disney really, _really_ didn't want to lose their mouse so they've been lobbying to extend how long copywrite lasts time and time again.
I remember years ago, I enter to a server with the name "Herobrine", and someone genuelly believed that I was Herobrine. Also, I used to play pirated minecraft until I buy it because I wanted to support my childhood favorite game, which, due to microsoft's fault, I'm lowkey regretting it.
This comment made me spontaneously remember when I was like 7 and I scoured the internet for the Herobrine skin, put it into my pirated MCPE (I honestly don't know how I did all that as a 7yo) and then named myself Herobrine. I then tried to summon him. Apparently I really liked Herobrine.
Minecraft PE is how I found out what an APK is lol. Really put me on the path I'm on now. Also learned how file systems worked by making my own texture packs.
@@mrlofe6898 In mine we can but minecraft's website doesn't support upi so your debit/credit card has to have international transactions enabled. I did end up buying it tho. Also for those of you with similar problems here is a tip: buy a gift card from amazon. This is how i get steam games.
Its interesting that this is the case with most large software companies. Windows can be easily pirated, so can Adobe, WinRAR, most music and entertainment. Its a great business strategy, you can reach a wider audience and stop competitors from knicking your market share. Ahhh the magic of long term investment instead of instant profit motivation.
it's almost like planning for more than a decade makes you a better company, such a mindblowing idea! too bad the -shareloaders- shareholders won't allow it
I played pirated Minecraft until very recently that I bought Bedrock Edition for 7 bucks on the PlayStore like two years ago, which translated to a full version of Java Edition after the new launcher was released
I remember seeing the old cobblestone logo on some random flashgame website in like 2011. And then sometime later my friend told me about this new fun game he found and I loved it immediately. However my parents didn't let me buy things online cause I was young and the internet was new and scary. So my first half a year of playing minecraft I played Minecraft classic in the browser. And as you couldn't save I left the laptop running in power saving mode during the night and school. I did convince my mom to by the game for me later in like beta 1.8 after much convincing and promising that it wasn't like that violent GTA game I had.
Could You do a video on the Texture update? While it was extremely controversial at the time, its one of the most overlooked parts of Minecraft's history today. Unimportant edit: Why is the like to dislike ratio so unhealthy (Using that extension that adds back dislikes its 2k likes to 882 dislikes)
For me the old sounds (the old hurting sound and old rain/water noises in particular) are incredibly nostalgic. Its been a long, long time since they were changed and the new stuff is way less crusty... but for some reason those old sounds just really hit different. Also the old netherrack texture definitely has a nostalgic vibe even if its super hard on the eyes.
Actually, there is another side of Minecraft piracy - servers with separate launchers. I have no idea how popular this whole conception is in other parts of the world, but at least in Russia this was REALLY huge some time (mostly because of overall simplicity for server creators to control players mods selection, therefore - to create much more individual and unique projects and to prevent hacking in any shape possible) For example, there was server based on a 1.7.10 LOTR modification with some tweaks and new features by the server staff, or extremely popular mini-games server by some famous russian youtuber, etc.
@@argy7526 not at all. It’s not “legal” rn, but rather “acceptable” by the government due to sanctions: we simply can’t buy any game in Steam or other platform without some shady actions, but the most famous torrent sites are still blocked in Russia.
@@argy7526 It is pretty legal (or better to say acceptable) for home use, but strictly prohibited for commercial use. Small and big businesses often get checked by tax offices for using pirated OS or programs, and if you will be caught red-handed, fine will be really big, if you don't want to go to prison.
Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20 Revelation has been unfolding since Jesus died. The Popes have claimed to be equal to God and set themselves in Jesus' place (antichrist(s)). Vatican City (Which is its own nation BTW) have risen up to fulfill the role of the false prophet Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound of the beast in Revelation 13, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state. “We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.) Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.) Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894) The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed. The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666
Interestingly enough, my dad was actually the one who got me into Minecraft, and gaming as a whole. And here we are 11 years later, and I probably have 20k+ hours played on video games in total. Good times :)
I feel called out by that 2gb download from a friend. It was Alpha v1.2.2 and I only played it for 3 months before getting the real thing but it feels like it was years I spent on this first world. Also, for years I thought it was the infamous "winter mode" world due to seemingly infinite snow I encountered but now I think I just spawned in the largest snow biome ever, since by v1.2 the winter worlds were removed.
I always used to play the classic version in my browser before I owned the actual game (which was free to play at the time). It had pretty cool community servers with a bunch of minigames. Pretty much played that for months until I got the actual game, never used the cracked version.
In 2012 (When I was 3 years old), I just watched Minecraft videos on RUclips. But I didn't know how to get the game, then in 2014 I asked my dad to download it for me, then he downloaded it. When I first played it, I didn't know how to walk so I left it. Me now found out something suspicious in the game I played in 2014, it was obviously a crack. Later in 2015 I bought Minecraft Bedrock for $1 (There were a special discount that time). In 2021 my friends invited me to play Java Minecraft but I didn't have it, so they told me to download Tlauncher. Now in 2022 I finally bought the actual Java game.
I started playing minecraft in 2014, sometime after 1.8 came out. I played on my dad's computer, my dad bought the full game for my older brother because he wanted it about a year or so before I started playing. I remember the first thing I ever built in minecraft was a tree house with pink wool for some reason...
I started my Minecraft journey playing cracked too. My older brother showed it to me, and I thought it was amazing. I played on cracked MC for at least 2 years, and in 2018, I got the paid version. I want to go back to those years, to re-experience them. It is so nostalgic for me, I really miss those times.
As I understand it, the findings are pretty consistent across all media (TV, film, video games, software): piracy does not cut into sales, as *people who pirated your content would not have paid for it if the pirated version were unavailable.* What piracy does enable is for your content to reach a wider audience than it would have otherwise. Take Photoshop for example--do you really think the fraction of the population who are actually able to afford exorbitant subscriptions to Adobe Creative Cloud are the ones generating combined billions of views for tutorial videos across RUclips and every skillShare-like tutorial platform? And why do you think there are *so few* tutorials on GIMP, which is fully capable of meeting the needs of 99% of image editors? And it's a self-perpetuating cycle, too, because I guarantee that the ratio of job postings requiring verbatim "five years experience with GIMP" vs. "five years of Photoshop" is very nearly 0:1, and it's those companies that are absolutely footing those five-figure subscriptions.
I learned about Minecraft when my dad started playing on his survival world (it was on an xbox 360, around like 2014/15) he had a castle, and showed my mom the game for the first time, I eventually got hooked and started playing all the time.
One of my favourite ways to play Minecraft back in the day was when you could play on Minecrafts website... It was always pixel art filled servers with incredible builds using the very limited items handed out in your hot bar. I wish I could play this classic version again
My story is almost the same, I got it on the external hdd we required for school. Got a friend that told me about the game at lunch breaks in the school canteen. Got hooked on the game and still playing it ever since 2010 when I got a hacked account from friends to play with. In 2011 I bought the game so I could have my own online alias.
Earlier this year i redownloaded te launcher just to see how the server is doing Luckly i ran the launcher in Virustotal(to check for viruses) and now its nothing but a trojan
I resisted it until my friend literally sat down and bought it on my computer. Even after that, it took a couple weeks before I stopped thinking it was stupid. Eventually, I figured out how to have fun with it, and now I am as much a fan as anyone.
I remember my nephews showed me Minecraft… on Tlauncher. From then each time we visited them we would play LAN. Years after I first saw Minecraft, we got it on my moms ipad (For free somehow???) later, when I got my laptop, I got bedrock there.(and as its also my mom who bought it-the ipad was now able to. Or was it because we were never logged in there?) I also got Tlauncher so I could play Java. But with them giving you the other version for owning one, I also own Java. I remember the good old days of playing with my nephews… I just remember it was some old version, sweet memories.
I remember those days so well, my cousins knew I was the most experienced with computers out of all of us so they asked me for help pirating minecraft. I won't say the name of the launcher as it is still up to this day, however when I had just found it and told my cousins how to play, from there it was all history, we would first play in 1.2.4 single player, and then moved to even playing in cracked servers. One of my cousins knew enough that he was able to install mods, which blew my mind. It wasn't until about 4 whole years later, when my cousin bought premium minecraft and all of us followed suit, it was back when mineplex was super popular and we all wanted to play there.
@@artebotastic8846 I don't think you know the definition of gatekeeping. I agree on the sentiment you're trying to get across here, Mojang won't take down the launcher just because you post it's name or something lol.
I played classic mode in the browser in either 4th or 5th grade (maybe 2010ish) and I still play to this day. Owned since alpha but pocket edition lite is where I really started playing a lot
Same! Classic mode was all I played in 2011. (Was also in 5th grade then) I remember fall 2010 I was being babysat and my babysitter was playing minecraft on his laptop. Went home and of course I couldnt afford it so I found the classic version and played that for months, especially the multiplayer until I eventually bought the game around fall 2011.
I remember going to the recreational center and when my dad was at the gym, I would play Minecraft console edition and I loved it, especially the elytra stuff
when i was younger a friend of my friend introduced me to minecraft 1.0 and i really liked it, some time after that he gave me the "magic usb stick" and i got minecraft, no longer than month after that (at least so i remember) i told my parents i loved the game and asked if they could buy me a copy, to which they agreed (after i told them how i could play on more servers and - more importantly - my own skin), when i got the game 1.1 released
Cracked Minecraft was how I first played Minecraft too. I believe I started playing on version 1.4.7, but I only played singleplayer since I didn't know that cracked servers existed.
Back before the 1.6 launcher update you could do the exact same with the official launcher ;) Updating was a bit tougher, but it was doable if you knew where to look.
Hey! I still have that "Alpha" looking launcher! It's on my USB believe it or not! I copied it off a friend back in 2015, and we used to play at school (and sometimes during class) If you need it, I'll post a link to it
I played cracked Minecraft for the first few years of my experience with the game. It was my only way to play, and how I got my friends to play with me. It was perfect. I was actually the first person to put the cracked Minecraft launcher on my old schools shared drive. Nearly 10 years later, that same file is still there. It's been copied by hundreds of kids. Pretty crazy that it all stemmed from my one file upload.
I remember hosting a big LAN session of cracked minecraft in the computer lab. It took the teacher a while to realize we all downloaded minecraft onto the computers. It was fun tho
My first introduction came from X's Adventures in Minecraft. After the first couple of videos they had out I knew I wanted the game. Game was way cheaper than though.
@@emerald_grenade3788 nah, i dont really wanna be spreading cracked minecraft on the internet. if you want it, find one yourself. it's not terribly hard.
I was introduced to Minecraft sometime in 2013. And it's cracked. The first version of the game I played then was 1.2.5. I thought before Minecraft is free and offline. I have good memories playing the game. ❤️
apks for pocket edition, and cracked launcher with java are the reason why I got to play this game, since its really hard to buy games as a kid living in a third world country. bought both versions legit a few years ago since I wanted to support Mojang for how much this game changed my life, and also to finally play Hypixel and other premium servers in java
My favorite part of school was when a couple of cracked minecraft versions was going around and it got so bad that the principal had to make multiple announcements not to play minecraft cause it was slowing down the wifi, and my first time playing it was the free pocket edition
Thank you so much for making this video! I love how you didn't just hate on us cracked players and tell us that: "If you can't have it you shouldn't play". As well as you, I didn't know I used a cracked minecraft launcher, even tho I bought it for 1.15 euros at some PIRATING GAMES SHOP. Then, in my part of the world, balkans, there was talk of premium and non-premium minecraft which was cracked and bought and I wanted to get it so hard because I learned mineplex was a "premium" server and I couldn't access it with my titan launcher from a sketchy pirated CD and DVD shop. That was funny. I've been playing on cracked for 8 years now, from september 2014. Great memories from the game.
Yeah, when I was a kid, me and my brother persuaded my grandpa to buy us minecraft. Turns out he bought a pirated CD on the market (Oh, I’m from the Balkans aswell ;) )
@@pasoska_kontrola Lol, yeah the only difference in our stories is that it is my aunt that bought me the game for very cheap. Well let's just say I spent a whole YEAR trying to join Mineplex and Hypixel. I was seven, but still...
I've always played the pirated version with my friends. Until one day I went into g2a with literally 0.50$ in my balance and saw bedrock (back then windows 10 edition) keys were selling for as low as 0.22$ each. I literally bought all my friends a key for that game. Almost no one liked how it plays however and we just forgot about it. Until mojang decided to give a free copy of java edition to everyone who owned bedrock and vice versa. Literally every single one of my friends had to reset his xbox pass, cus no one had an xbox and we just used these accounts for bedrock. Anyways - we're all now totally legit players, who got the game for less than the price of bread. Oh did I mention we started a server to survive on, thanks to the fact that we could actually use any name we wanted and any SKIN we wanted...(we're all adults btw :)
Minecraft had a perfect trifecta that blasted the game into the world in the early days and making it the highest selling game of all time. Without the trifecta I don’t think the game we all love would have blown up the way it did. Piracy. RUclips. Servers paid for and ran by the community rather than them.
same story here, I got a cracked launcher in beta 1.8.1, first game i've ever pirated myself. Then I finally bought the game (through a local gaming arena because i didn't have a bank account and my parents didnt have online shopping enabled on theirs) when 1.6 was about to come out, because it had a new launcher and i didnt want to go through the hassle of finding and setting up a new one.
I have always been using cracked minecraft even though you can't join a lot of servers it basically has everything I need I never really thought of getting the real game since I don't play that much minecraft
I remember finding Minecraft while searching for an entirely different game, looked it up and found a website that was hosting it as a browser game for free. Played that till notch asked them to take it down and didn't actually buy it till it came to PS3.
I used to use my uncle's xbox to play it, then later got it for my birthday twice (once for xbox, then later the ps4 because the xbox stopped working). I recently got both editions on my pc.
I can proudly say that I still use the nostalgic launcher (1:51) at school. Me and my friends would log on during our programming classes instead of doing the work itself.
I've tried to -miserably- play cracked Minecraft versions on PC and my phones in back in years 2013-2016. In the case of PC version there was some separate clients to play online, but I sucked -and still suck a5s- at playing online, instead I was more lurking in forums of these cracked servers than actually playing. So much memories...
I use Tlauncher before but after I heard that TLauncher has spyware I remove it and changed to SKLauncher (better than Tlauncher). But I promise myself that in the future I will buy Minecraft.
When I first started playing Minecraft, I’ve first started with the PS3 demo of Minecraft on the old Legacy Console Edition. I did buy the game on PS3 around 2 years later after playing the demo. A few years later I bought Minecraft Pocket Edition on mobile which was way before Bedrock Edition existed. Then bought Java Edition around 2014 or 2015. To this day I still play the game
I remember the map I used to have on the cracked Minecraft called "AFK" and "Train", man I remember those to this day, AFK was literally just a place where I make weird stuffs out of boredom (including a house ontop of 6 jungle tree made entirely of nether bricks), and trains is well.... trains (altho made of diamond) and I believe a really tall tower located right next to the station I missed those day so much, nowadays I barely play minecraft, even if I already have a premium account since 2019. Most likely because of the community as a whole and my interest now being in Japan rail transit and shipping more than the game it self
I played on a pirated 1.5.2 version for a long time until my parents bought me a Minecraft account that I still have to this day. the pirated version would let you play local multiplayer and around the first few months I used it even regular multiplayer was available.
I remember when Minecraft was free to download and you could play Singleplayer without a paid account, you just couldn't go on servers/have skins/etc. That's how I started until I was old enough and had money to buy an account.
I just jealous on how people are able to buy the full version. Wish that in the future i could get it. Definitely dont want playing multiplayer with my sister interupted by ads that we cant even skip.
@@buizelmeme6288 No, I'ts not really pirated tho, It's a poorly made rip off (or maybe a pirated ver of old version?) from google play store Well we used to play it without internet connection tho, but since the new update, we need to be connected to the internet to play together. I know the update added lots of amazing stuffs but it's the worse update ever
I played Minecraft when it started up basically. Heard it from a friend I believe, and then played it when it was only a building game, and had a couple of servers that let people create whatever they wanted and that was it.
Vet here: Played the classic release, 0.30, until my brother and me decided to buy the game for €5 (yes, back then it was this cheap) just for having a skin and “our names reserved” so nobody could take over our server by using our passwordless usernames. All that around the Alpha 1.2.5 time too. Back then the Classic version was on the website but clients that offered the (back then infamous) ophax modes emerged quickly, the reason we build a server and soon find it there as it also featured a server list to join other people’s servers besides single player. Luckily I still have the server files of that classic server. It was a blast. Especially when actually realizing we could play “Minecraft Survival” too… Good memories…

I first played bedrock, really wanted to play java. Started with bedrock, ended up with java because of bedrock & java microsoft thing. But these days, i realized java can be bad to play at some PCs, some lag (like mine)
Java takes time to load the map, while in bedrock it rarely gives lag spikes (unless in pocket edition id say.) , Loads quickly for most people, and indeed has a kind of better experience, but java id say is better. More servers, Even though bedrock support most servers are for java and stuff, going back to the topic, i would sincerely and honestly say atleast 2 or 3 years.
I played at mcpe shared it
Very similar to the original DOOM in alot of ways. There was an official shareware version of it that thousands of people copied and distributed which definitely not only helped spread the game like wildfire but also helped the game gain a ton of sales and become one of the most well-known PC games of its era
In case of DOOM the shareware version was official.

These videos keep sending me down memory lane, gotta love the wild west days of minecraft. It's getting more difficult to talk about the old days of minecraft to these newer players, especially when I mention "oh I remember how excited I was for 1.8 (beta) to release" and they think I'm just a super fan of diorite. Strongholds were the talk of the middleschool lunch table.
Stone variants were 1.8??? It feels like they were only a few years ago
You can't really make new players understand minecraft back then, they might understand but they won't feel the same
I started playing when 1.8 was released, my mom had bought it for me, then my account got hacked somehow and I've been playing on cracked launchers ever since

This is almost the exact same way I was introduced to Minecraft. My friend told me about it in middle school. Went home and googled the game to try and find a cracked version online. Started out with old Alpha Minecraft but believed it to be the current version of the game. Doing some more digging online, I found that exact launcher at 1:59 and used it for about a year and a half. It worked, flawlessly. I didn't change launchers until I bought the game in 2012
Wow! same
That was Anjo Caido launcher and I started the same way you did :)
@@bmrabbit Brazilian!
Same, instead I had already played the demo at home and on my friend's PS4 and then he told me about the cracked version
When I first heard of Minecraft, my parents bought us the bedrock edition since we had no computer to play on and bedrock was the only available version for Xbox. And like you can guess, it was my greatest time at my childhood when I play the game constantly every day. I watched a lot of survival videos back then and I saw that all of them had a lot of stuff in Minecraft that I did not have, like the combat system when you can swing a sword after a cooldown, the launcher, the constant updates, the mods, hypixel, etc. And I REALLY wanted that, But then after a couple of months I heard of java edition which was the version of Minecraft that all of the RUclipsrs I have watched for years played on. I wanted my parents to buy it but MY GOD was it expensive. (90 ILS) after a lot of convincing my dad tried to buy the game for me and my brother but before he could pay for the it informed us that his laptop did not have enough storage left to download it, I was super sad, I desperately tried deleting files that we didn't need but I thought that all of the files were at the desktop and I didn't really know about the File Explorer. So me and my younger brother played cracked versions of java, we couldn't join most servers because it would say that we are banned, and hypixel was my dream server to play on. One time I got a cracked account and it said that I'm banned from hypixel for about 14 days! (that was very little) But then I realised that no matter what I either get banned again or the account doesn't work anymore. But at least I had an amazing time in singleplayer... But it just wasn't enough. But finally, after a LONG journey, I got the game a couple of years ago when my mom got a new and much better laptop from her job (I still use it to this day, I'm planning on buying an actual PC with the money I get from my bar mitzva) and I was delighted that I could finally open hypixel without it saying that I'm banned. I started playing, and the rest is history. (Hey if you read this far you are cool and thank you).

This video brought back so many memories.
Back on 2012, a friend from school recommended me this game, back then, my father didn't let me download things from the internet, so my first experience with the game was with minecraft classic.
I still remember my first ever base. I made a little shelter made out of logs, after that, I went to the middle of the ocean and made a glass base underwater, I remember how magical this game felt.
After a week of begging, my father finally gave me the green light to download it, and then I downloaded the launcher "anjocaido" and I played the game for 4 years until I eventually bought it.
I remember my father showed the game to the family in 2011. He heard about it from a colleague. Then we had a lot of fun playing, but there were only 3 laptops, and we were 4 players (familiy of 5, my mother didn't play). So I usually just ended up watching. It was a ton of fun though. Then, years later, I realized that the world which we usually played on still existed, and played on it.

With video game preservation being awful and the recent HBO Max fiasco, I've come to appreciate piracy. It gives media that is not accessible anymore (or very hard to access) a second life. Piracy can be harmful, I agree, but saying it's an entirely bad thing is not true. A price tag on anything instantly removes thousands if not millions of people that could've consumed that media, that's why free games are so incredibly popular, there's no harm to try it. But there were always be harmful uses of piracy, and that will always outshine that small but significant amount of good in it.
what are the harmful uses of piracy exactly?

@@capnsteele3365 most of them cost pretty cheap tho, so I feel that many pirates eventually buy the game if it actually is good enough for its price (like terraria, which price was $2-3 in my country at one moment, completely ridiculous). Although if indie games try to go AAA and set the price at like $40 for 15 hours of gameplay, ofc piracy would be devastating to them, no sane person would pay $40 for a small indie game.
for those who are interested in TLauncher - DONT! Only TLauncher legacy is not infected with spyware, but it would be really hard to find it because the current tlauncher team is trying to get rid of it. There was a huge drama with Tlauncher including copyright claims that basically killed the "good" tlauncher and instead we got a "new" version, that looked more fancy but was infected with tons of ads and spyware. this is coming from someone who used tlauncher since it came out in 2013-2014 till I finally bought the game in 2020.(I was using TLauncher legacy obviously and told all my friends to use it instead of spyware that new tlauncher was)

It's weird that more companies don't realize the benefits of piracy to the popularity and total sales of a game
every game i pirated i eventually paid for
@@Vienic2 I have a low end pc, and without being able to pirate it i don't know if my pc can run it, therefore i rather don't even buy it.
It's not weird, just that most companies don't make good games, just remakes of ancient games with false promises so they bank on people pre-buying and buying day one before they can realize the game is actually shit.
Every good game has never been scared of piracy, as it only boosts the sales in the end.
There's games and other media that totally got ruined due to piracy and having no income.
My rule is, pirate it if you have to. Try it out, if you like it buy it or remove it.
Obviously big games like games from EA wont feel the pirating but smaller indie games will, so dont pirate indie.
thing is, its not piracy thats popular, its the fact that its free, wich can easily be accomplished whit a trial version, wich could simplpy be a much earlier version or s triped-down version of the full game, that does not feature a limit on how long you can play. this allows people to test the game for free and to see if the actually like it so they can buy the full version and get all the extra fetures it has compared to the trial version. in fact, minecraft does have a trial version, i played it both on console and pc. the pc version is limitted to 3 hours, but you can just restart the world, and even tho its the same world, you now know more about the game and can get more done.
I remember the old Pirated launcher. I played it on a Computer Shop. I can't find it too now on the internet.
I remember the first time I downloaded it in 2012 . I was 11 and on vacation with some family and since we usually didnt have the internet at home, I brought my laptop to download what I could to take home with me. one of the those things was a few files to get Minecraft 1.2.5 and a few months later, I spent some of my allowance that I saved up to fully buy the game so I could check out the updates when they came out and play on servers when I had some web access. Since pirating Minecraft, I have purchased it over 11 times and will probably never find another game that can fascinate me like this.
I remember I wasn't able to get Minecraft at first when I was younger, my friend at the time told me you could do pretty much everything in the game, found a free version which had all the updates, using a web browser for it. I did get my account I use to this day in 2012, some of the people I used to play with still used a cracked version, which we all played on a cracked faction server. Honestly some of my most memorable memories of the game, the server would eventually shutdown, someone used the login command and got into an Admin account.
Something else to note is that console edition allowed people to play for free if they were playing the tutorial. As far as I can remember you could play for about an hour before it made you stop playing
I this there's a java demo too that lets you play for 3 Minecraft days (so about an hour I think?) but idk if it still exists

Considering the wink afterwards, this was quite obviously said in jest.
@@krinkrin5982 The youtuber forgot to say it sarcastically though 😂

Had a different experience with receiving minecraft for the first time. Started off with the demo on console edition, because dad found it on the PlayStation store for free and decided to give it a shot. We became hooked, and after asking him for a while, got the full game. Never regretted that choice.
The fact that there are people who think cracked players are cringe just because they didn't bought the game it's the most cringe thing ever. Like, who cares man, let people have fun
For those who play cracked MC, I think that the best cracked server is an Spanish server called universocraft, it obviously lacks many features compared to hypixel, but as someone who regularly plays in both servers, the difference is really not that big

CD Project Red, a wise game dev studio once had a rep said on record that piracy is good for game sales. Makes me wonder why so many companies go through the effort of making their game shittier (with denuvo) just to delay the piracy, at most, a few weeks.
For a broader conversation this topic brings up, it feels as though copyright laws are WAY out of date with the speed and ease information can be replicated and shared. These days, 120 years upon inception for a company or life plus 70 sounds absurdly long and enforcing it only kills your game's sales, as minecraft and the witcher games demonstrate.
Yeah like imagine spend alot of bucks for denuvo only to be cracked in a mere week or even an hour.
Gabe Newell at Valve also said a similar thing to this. He said piracy was mostly a service issue, and that high convenience makes it easy for people to just drop some dollars on a game or something. Steam got as successful as it did because of that philosophy (and because Valve made some really cool games, at least before the great drought of no games in between Dota 2, which didn't appeal to Valve's OG first person shooter audience anyway, and Half Life Alyx).
@@HorseDe-luxe not only those factors but pirates quite literally get a better experience than paying customers as cracked versions of games have the DRM disabled
I would say that the mentality of piracy being bad comes not from the devs, but the publishers. Furthermore, I'd even go so far as to theorize that it dates back to a time when video games where either something you played at an arcade, or lacked general enjoyment in replayability.
Minecraft was able to turn the piracy into profit through things like expanding features with updates that were hard to get unless you purchased a legit copy, and reliable online multiplayer. More so, Notch was the dev and publisher of early Minecraft. At the time he didn't have anyone else to answer to.
I would still, personally, say that pirated copies of a game that is in active distribution should not be completable. However that term "active distribution" is the key there. Once the publishing studio stops producing or distribution a title, it's fair game and the publishers can go suck eggs in regards to piracy as far as I'm concerned.
IKR! Copywrite used to only be 20 years. Disney really, _really_ didn't want to lose their mouse so they've been lobbying to extend how long copywrite lasts time and time again.
I remember years ago, I enter to a server with the name "Herobrine", and someone genuelly believed that I was Herobrine.
Also, I used to play pirated minecraft until I buy it because I wanted to support my childhood favorite game, which, due to microsoft's fault, I'm lowkey regretting it.
This comment made me spontaneously remember when I was like 7 and I scoured the internet for the Herobrine skin, put it into my pirated MCPE (I honestly don't know how I did all that as a 7yo) and then named myself Herobrine. I then tried to summon him. Apparently I really liked Herobrine.

Actually, there is another side of Minecraft piracy - servers with separate launchers. I have no idea how popular this whole conception is in other parts of the world, but at least in Russia this was REALLY huge some time (mostly because of overall simplicity for server creators to control players mods selection, therefore - to create much more individual and unique projects and to prevent hacking in any shape possible)
For example, there was server based on a 1.7.10 LOTR modification with some tweaks and new features by the server staff, or extremely popular mini-games server by some famous russian youtuber, etc.
in russia cracked programs are legal
@@argy7526 not at all. It’s not “legal” rn, but rather “acceptable” by the government due to sanctions: we simply can’t buy any game in Steam or other platform without some shady actions, but the most famous torrent sites are still blocked in Russia.

Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
Revelation has been unfolding since Jesus died. The Popes have claimed to be equal to God and set themselves in Jesus' place (antichrist(s)). Vatican City (Which is its own nation BTW) have risen up to fulfill the role of the false prophet
Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound of the beast in Revelation 13, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state.
“We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.)
Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.)
Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894)
The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD.
Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed.
The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666
Interestingly enough, my dad was actually the one who got me into Minecraft, and gaming as a whole. And here we are 11 years later, and I probably have 20k+ hours played on video games in total. Good times :)
Ur dad's a mood
I can't remember when I've started playing minecraft and how minecraft got to me 😭
Same
I feel called out by that 2gb download from a friend. It was Alpha v1.2.2 and I only played it for 3 months before getting the real thing but it feels like it was years I spent on this first world.
Also, for years I thought it was the infamous "winter mode" world due to seemingly infinite snow I encountered but now I think I just spawned in the largest snow biome ever, since by v1.2 the winter worlds were removed.

I always used to play the classic version in my browser before I owned the actual game (which was free to play at the time). It had pretty cool community servers with a bunch of minigames. Pretty much played that for months until I got the actual game, never used the cracked version.
In 2012 (When I was 3 years old), I just watched Minecraft videos on RUclips. But I didn't know how to get the game, then in 2014 I asked my dad to download it for me, then he downloaded it. When I first played it, I didn't know how to walk so I left it. Me now found out something suspicious in the game I played in 2014, it was obviously a crack. Later in 2015 I bought Minecraft Bedrock for $1 (There were a special discount that time). In 2021 my friends invited me to play Java Minecraft but I didn't have it, so they told me to download Tlauncher. Now in 2022 I finally bought the actual Java game.
I started playing minecraft in 2014, sometime after 1.8 came out. I played on my dad's computer, my dad bought the full game for my older brother because he wanted it about a year or so before I started playing. I remember the first thing I ever built in minecraft was a tree house with pink wool for some reason...
I started my Minecraft journey playing cracked too. My older brother showed it to me, and I thought it was amazing.
I played on cracked MC for at least 2 years, and in 2018, I got the paid version.
I want to go back to those years, to re-experience them. It is so nostalgic for me, I really miss those times.
As I understand it, the findings are pretty consistent across all media (TV, film, video games, software): piracy does not cut into sales, as *people who pirated your content would not have paid for it if the pirated version were unavailable.* What piracy does enable is for your content to reach a wider audience than it would have otherwise.
Take Photoshop for example--do you really think the fraction of the population who are actually able to afford exorbitant subscriptions to Adobe Creative Cloud are the ones generating combined billions of views for tutorial videos across RUclips and every skillShare-like tutorial platform? And why do you think there are *so few* tutorials on GIMP, which is fully capable of meeting the needs of 99% of image editors? And it's a self-perpetuating cycle, too, because I guarantee that the ratio of job postings requiring verbatim "five years experience with GIMP" vs. "five years of Photoshop" is very nearly 0:1, and it's those companies that are absolutely footing those five-figure subscriptions.
I learned about Minecraft when my dad started playing on his survival world (it was on an xbox 360, around like 2014/15) he had a castle, and showed my mom the game for the first time, I eventually got hooked and started playing all the time.
One of my favourite ways to play Minecraft back in the day was when you could play on Minecrafts website... It was always pixel art filled servers with incredible builds using the very limited items handed out in your hot bar.
I wish I could play this classic version again
My story is almost the same, I got it on the external hdd we required for school. Got a friend that told me about the game at lunch breaks in the school canteen.
Got hooked on the game and still playing it ever since 2010 when I got a hacked account from friends to play with. In 2011 I bought the game so I could have my own online alias.
I was using Team Extreme launcher and I joined their server too. It was an amazing server and it was a shame it shut down eventually
Earlier this year i redownloaded te launcher just to see how the server is doing
Luckly i ran the launcher in Virustotal(to check for viruses) and now its nothing but a trojan

Thats such a "Using your Noodle" moment from Notch to just be like "yeah pirate my shit, idc, chances are you'll buy it later"
I resisted it until my friend literally sat down and bought it on my computer. Even after that, it took a couple weeks before I stopped thinking it was stupid. Eventually, I figured out how to have fun with it, and now I am as much a fan as anyone.
I remember my nephews showed me Minecraft… on Tlauncher. From then each time we visited them we would play LAN. Years after I first saw Minecraft, we got it on my moms ipad (For free somehow???) later, when I got my laptop, I got bedrock there.(and as its also my mom who bought it-the ipad was now able to. Or was it because we were never logged in there?) I also got Tlauncher so I could play Java. But with them giving you the other version for owning one, I also own Java.
I remember the good old days of playing with my nephews… I just remember it was some old version, sweet memories.
Cousin*
I remember those days so well, my cousins knew I was the most experienced with computers out of all of us so they asked me for help pirating minecraft.
I won't say the name of the launcher as it is still up to this day, however when I had just found it and told my cousins how to play, from there it was all history, we would first play in 1.2.4 single player, and then moved to even playing in cracked servers. One of my cousins knew enough that he was able to install mods, which blew my mind.
It wasn't until about 4 whole years later, when my cousin bought premium minecraft and all of us followed suit, it was back when mineplex was super popular and we all wanted to play there.
stop gatekeeping
@@artebotastic8846 I don't think you know the definition of gatekeeping. I agree on the sentiment you're trying to get across here, Mojang won't take down the launcher just because you post it's name or something lol.
I played classic mode in the browser in either 4th or 5th grade (maybe 2010ish) and I still play to this day. Owned since alpha but pocket edition lite is where I really started playing a lot
Same! Classic mode was all I played in 2011. (Was also in 5th grade then) I remember fall 2010 I was being babysat and my babysitter was playing minecraft on his laptop. Went home and of course I couldnt afford it so I found the classic version and played that for months, especially the multiplayer until I eventually bought the game around fall 2011.
I still can't believe Classic Multiplayer is dead
@6:41 notch said dont forget to feel bad
I remember going to the recreational center and when my dad was at the gym, I would play Minecraft console edition and I loved it, especially the elytra stuff
when i was younger a friend of my friend introduced me to minecraft 1.0 and i really liked it, some time after that he gave me the "magic usb stick" and i got minecraft, no longer than month after that (at least so i remember) i told my parents i loved the game and asked if they could buy me a copy, to which they agreed (after i told them how i could play on more servers and - more importantly - my own skin), when i got the game 1.1 released
Cracked Minecraft was how I first played Minecraft too. I believe I started playing on version 1.4.7, but I only played singleplayer since I didn't know that cracked servers existed.
Back before the 1.6 launcher update you could do the exact same with the official launcher ;)
Updating was a bit tougher, but it was doable if you knew where to look.
Why does this video have so many dislikes compared to likes, it was great! I didn't know until now so many copies of Minecraft are pirated

Hey! I still have that "Alpha" looking launcher! It's on my USB believe it or not! I copied it off a friend back in 2015, and we used to play at school (and sometimes during class)
If you need it, I'll post a link to it
Same!
do it
can u send me? the link
I played cracked Minecraft for the first few years of my experience with the game. It was my only way to play, and how I got my friends to play with me. It was perfect. I was actually the first person to put the cracked Minecraft launcher on my old schools shared drive. Nearly 10 years later, that same file is still there. It's been copied by hundreds of kids. Pretty crazy that it all stemmed from my one file upload.
I remember hosting a big LAN session of cracked minecraft in the computer lab. It took the teacher a while to realize we all downloaded minecraft onto the computers. It was fun tho
My first introduction came from X's Adventures in Minecraft. After the first couple of videos they had out I knew I wanted the game. Game was way cheaper than though.
This brings back memories of using AnjoCaido's Minecraft launcher in early 2011
Yes yes!
Like most people, if I love something, I make it so everyone owns it, like a bank account.
haha, what's the pin for that bank account again?
@@SimpleMan-sv6yb Yo Nigerian Prince, what's with the alt accounts?
Definitely started playing cracked mc over a decade ago now, cracked servers were SO fun back then and were so popular. Mainly played factions.

I was introduced to Minecraft sometime in 2013. And it's cracked. The first version of the game I played then was 1.2.5.
I thought before Minecraft is free and offline.
I have good memories playing the game. ❤️
apks for pocket edition, and cracked launcher with java are the reason why I got to play this game, since its really hard to buy games as a kid living in a third world country.
bought both versions legit a few years ago since I wanted to support Mojang for how much this game changed my life, and also to finally play Hypixel and other premium servers in java
Me too
you know, now i remember my older cousin looking on play store with me at minecraft copies years ago. it feels like yesterday. man, i`m getting old...
My favorite part of school was when a couple of cracked minecraft versions was going around and it got so bad that the principal had to make multiple announcements not to play minecraft cause it was slowing down the wifi, and my first time playing it was the free pocket edition
Thank you so much for making this video! I love how you didn't just hate on us cracked players and tell us that: "If you can't have it you shouldn't play". As well as you, I didn't know I used a cracked minecraft launcher, even tho I bought it for 1.15 euros at some PIRATING GAMES SHOP. Then, in my part of the world, balkans, there was talk of premium and non-premium minecraft which was cracked and bought and I wanted to get it so hard because I learned mineplex was a "premium" server and I couldn't access it with my titan launcher from a sketchy pirated CD and DVD shop. That was funny. I've been playing on cracked for 8 years now, from september 2014. Great memories from the game.
Yeah, when I was a kid, me and my brother persuaded my grandpa to buy us minecraft. Turns out he bought a pirated CD on the market
(Oh, I’m from the Balkans aswell ;) )
@@pasoska_kontrola Lol, yeah the only difference in our stories is that it is my aunt that bought me the game for very cheap. Well let's just say I spent a whole YEAR trying to join Mineplex and Hypixel. I was seven, but still...
Notch was a genius ahead of time, he knew how people liked free stuff.
I've always played the pirated version with my friends.
Until one day I went into g2a with literally 0.50$ in my balance and saw bedrock (back then windows 10 edition) keys were selling for as low as 0.22$ each.
I literally bought all my friends a key for that game. Almost no one liked how it plays however and we just forgot about it.
Until mojang decided to give a free copy of java edition to everyone who owned bedrock and vice versa.
Literally every single one of my friends had to reset his xbox pass, cus no one had an xbox and we just used these accounts for bedrock.
Anyways - we're all now totally legit players, who got the game for less than the price of bread.
Oh did I mention we started a server to survive on, thanks to the fact that we could actually use any name we wanted and any SKIN we wanted...(we're all adults btw :)
Fun times
how did you mess up the prices? The dollar sign is supposed to be on the left side.
Genius
@@reedomu it’s a common mistake since we say “one dollar” instead of “dollar one”
Minecraft had a perfect trifecta that blasted the game into the world in the early days and making it the highest selling game of all time. Without the trifecta I don’t think the game we all love would have blown up the way it did.
Piracy.
RUclips.
Servers paid for and ran by the community rather than them.
same story here, I got a cracked launcher in beta 1.8.1, first game i've ever pirated myself. Then I finally bought the game (through a local gaming arena because i didn't have a bank account and my parents didnt have online shopping enabled on theirs) when 1.6 was about to come out, because it had a new launcher and i didnt want to go through the hassle of finding and setting up a new one.
6:48 IDK how "don't forget to feel bad" means "shouldn't feel bad." What he said is to make sure that you feel bad when you pirate it.
I have always been using cracked minecraft even though you can't join a lot of servers it basically has everything I need I never really thought of getting the real game since I don't play that much minecraft
The number of people realized that he roasted a small number of Vietnamese's Minecraft RUclipsrs at 2:30

"The original version is nowhere to be found now" I still have a copy of that on an old flashdrive somewhere
I remember finding Minecraft while searching for an entirely different game, looked it up and found a website that was hosting it as a browser game for free. Played that till notch asked them to take it down and didn't actually buy it till it came to PS3.
and the site was "minecraft for free"?
just taking a lucky guess
100% the most popular cracked server is universocraft, 4000 players is nothing in comparison
I didn't actually own the game when I first played, but that was only because I used my brother's account, only buying the game for myself last year
I used to use my uncle's xbox to play it, then later got it for my birthday twice (once for xbox, then later the ps4 because the xbox stopped working). I recently got both editions on my pc.
2:32 welcome to vietnam lol
I can proudly say that I still use the nostalgic launcher (1:51) at school. Me and my friends would log on during our programming classes instead of doing the work itself.
I've tried to -miserably- play cracked Minecraft versions on PC and my phones in back in years 2013-2016. In the case of PC version there was some separate clients to play online, but I sucked -and still suck a5s- at playing online, instead I was more lurking in forums of these cracked servers than actually playing. So much memories...
I use Tlauncher before but after I heard that TLauncher has spyware I remove it and changed to SKLauncher (better than Tlauncher). But I promise myself that in the future I will buy Minecraft.
Use salwyrr
@@Konkov me too
because tlauncher using to much extensions.

Pirated Minecraft players
👇
When I first started playing Minecraft, I’ve first started with the PS3 demo of Minecraft on the old Legacy Console Edition. I did buy the game on PS3 around 2 years later after playing the demo. A few years later I bought Minecraft Pocket Edition on mobile which was way before Bedrock Edition existed. Then bought Java Edition around 2014 or 2015. To this day I still play the game
Its insane that i also used that old cracked version. Man the memories are all rushing back. Thx
I remember the map I used to have on the cracked Minecraft called "AFK" and "Train", man I remember those to this day, AFK was literally just a place where I make weird stuffs out of boredom (including a house ontop of 6 jungle tree made entirely of nether bricks), and trains is well.... trains (altho made of diamond) and I believe a really tall tower located right next to the station
I missed those day so much, nowadays I barely play minecraft, even if I already have a premium account since 2019. Most likely because of the community as a whole and my interest now being in Japan rail transit and shipping more than the game it self
I played on a pirated 1.5.2 version for a long time until my parents bought me a Minecraft account that I still have to this day.
the pirated version would let you play local multiplayer and around the first few months I used it even regular multiplayer was available.
launcher do anjocaido, classico brasileiro
I remember when Minecraft was free to download and you could play Singleplayer without a paid account, you just couldn't go on servers/have skins/etc. That's how I started until I was old enough and had money to buy an account.
I just jealous on how people are able to buy the full version. Wish that in the future i could get it. Definitely dont want playing multiplayer with my sister interupted by ads that we cant even skip.
You get ads in servers??
Also, I got two copies of the game :)
@@buizelmeme6288 No, I'ts not really pirated tho, It's a poorly made rip off (or maybe a pirated ver of old version?) from google play store
Well we used to play it without internet connection tho, but since the new update, we need to be connected to the internet to play together. I know the update added lots of amazing stuffs but it's the worse update ever
@@buizelmeme6288 well I used to play the pirated pocket edition ver but after my handphone changed (bc I broke it) it just cant
@@ZalfaOriana well, I used to pirate Minecraft as well in 2013 java 1.5 update. And brought the game in 1.16-1.18 I guess.
I played Minecraft when it started up basically. Heard it from a friend I believe, and then played it when it was only a building game, and had a couple of servers that let people create whatever they wanted and that was it.
Vet here: Played the classic release, 0.30, until my brother and me decided to buy the game for €5 (yes, back then it was this cheap) just for having a skin and “our names reserved” so nobody could take over our server by using our passwordless usernames. All that around the Alpha 1.2.5 time too.
Back then the Classic version was on the website but clients that offered the (back then infamous) ophax modes emerged quickly, the reason we build a server and soon find it there as it also featured a server list to join other people’s servers besides single player.
Luckily I still have the server files of that classic server. It was a blast.
Especially when actually realizing we could play “Minecraft Survival” too…
Good memories…
