It's interesting how showing just all the blocks, mobs, and items, doesn't fully capture how big or small an update was. Obviously, 1.18 was the biggest example of that, but for some other examples, 1.9, 1.13, 1.14, and 1.16 all felt smaller in this video than they do in actuality, whereas 1.12 feels much bigger than it really is
Same thing for 1.19 too IMO, yeah it added more new blocks than 1.18 obviously or maybe even 1.16, but it didn't really revolutionize the game and the fact that they promised us so much made what they _did_ add seem so minor and insignificant.. Well except for all of the bad things they added like banning players from multiplayer for not being PC.
Exactly, there's a lot more that these updates offer than just the blocks and things like that. There are plenty of mechanics that these updates add, generation is another thing, structures, and some other features that may or may not be "physical" in a sense.
Exactly the same, I can remember when you could sword spam before 1.9. And then, later on, the observer, and block such as magma block and bone block...
For those who commented "1.18 just added the disc" 1.18 changed the whole overworld by adding overhaul terrain generation in the overworld. More drastic huge caverns and mountains plus added 2 biomes in caves (lush caves and dripstone caves, not to include deep dark) plus 6 sub biomes for the mountains (meadows, jagged peaks, snowy slopes, frozen peaks, groves, and stony peaks) Added whole new underground caves under y=0 (including old worlds which version is 1.17 and below) forcing to push the world limit to 320 to -64. Added deepslate caves (under y=0). Revamped mineshaft and added 3 type caves generation (cheese caves, spaghetti caves, and noodle caves). Changed mob spawn mechanic to make hostile mobs only spawn in complete darkness (light level 0). Spore blossoms now naturally generates meaning you can now obtain it on survival mode. Also added low local water level which is the water aquifers and lava aquifer and even more features..... 1.18 doesn't have new blocks and items because they were all added in 1.17. Caves & Cliffs Pt. 1 & 2 are basically the same update but they got split because of pandemic.
That’s correct! But because this video is only about the blocks, entities, and items that were added in each update (and not world gen), the only thing that 1.18 has to show for itself is a single music disc.
There is also 1.11 which just made an absurd amount of new things possible with the edition of shulker boxes and the observer block; the latter of which revolutionized slime stone as we know it. 1.8 of course deserves an honorable mention because of its introduction of the slime block though slime stone was still *a lot* more nishe before observer blocks.
It may be because Minecraft's original popularity boom went from around 1.2 or 1.3 (I think) to around 1.9, then began to die down. Then, it started growing in popularity again around 1.13-1.14, I think. Those two popularity periods could be thought of as "old-age" and "new-age" Minecraft
It was the first laggy update, 1.0-1.12 are pretty smooth and 1.13 and 1.14 are way laggier, 1.15 fixed it a bit but it-1.19 is still laggier than 1.12
1.2 is when I got my own account (previously had been sharing one), and even now, the Wither feels really new to me and I am always surprised by how old it really is. Also lol for that single Caves and Cliffs part 2 item (yes, I know it was a world gen update and I waited to update until after part 2 released so I could experience everything the way that it would've happened if things had gone according to plan).
1.2 is also when I got my account, I got on the phone with my best friend and go crazy about all the new things from 1.3 like trip wires and ender chests. Genuinely the good ol' days
I got my account in 1.2 as well (1.2.5 to be exact). I remember when 1.3 came out I was so excited for searchable creative inventory. And how everything in 1.3 will always be considered “new Minecraft” for me
I remember how 1.7 just changed the feel of the game completely. Before that Minecraft was just a funny game to play but after, it felt like things are about to get more and more deep and the positive result of the update had shown the way to the next updates.

Not really. These are just blocks, items, and mobs. There's more to these updates than just those things such as new mechanics that we've got, new structures, new generation, new setting options. Things like that.
The recent updates feel HUGE to me for the simple reason that I've been playing since Alpha, and I've mostly played 1.14.1 in recent years (most mods that we used and a server that we played on was stuck on there). So I practically jumped from 1.14.1 to 1.19, so the changes feel massive!
I had such a feeling too when I started watching Hermitcraft last year. I hadn't really played much since 1.2.5 (Tekkit). There's so much stuff these days, and so many farms people build. Was surprised when I first saw people fly around in some other vid too, lol.
@@PixelIsaiah I think the only thing I dislike in the post 1.18 Minecraft is having to mine in deepslate. :p But the deepslate derived blocks like bricks etc. are awesome!
@@Moshugaani The new additions feel less like Minecraft and more like mods. And I like mods, but I don't like playing with the same mods every time I play. So I'd rather just use actual mods that way I can switch them up every time. Heck, the new updates are almost more complicated than some of the mods I use
Jeez. I had forgotten we didnt even have granite or fences for every wood type until 1.8. Crazy how quickly new features become so integral to gameplay you forget there was a time they didnt exist
For me everything 1.5+ feels new to me, a little bit pre 1.0 to 1.5 is my minecraft memory. I still remember when they added the end and where i was at the time. I am also glad i experienced the era of minecraft song parodies. The new stuff i barely know how it works
1.13+ feels like new content to me. Probably because I've played a lot of modded, and anything after 1.12 just lagged my PC (although 1.18 seems better now).
To think I've been here since the very beginning, when lava was red water, they flowed in random directions by copying themselves in every direction but up randomly, only 4 blocks existed, and planks looked like bricks...
I remember Xbox 360 edition having 1.1 spawn eggs, but not 1.2 stuff, and then from there I vividly remember getting the updates through Xbox live and finding cats for the first time, villager trading becoming a thing, and horses feeling like huge milestones, and I have memories of exploring all the really amazing tutorial worlds up until they stopped supporting Xbox360 edition.
I began playing at version TU1 or TU2 of Xbox 360 Edition in June or July 2012. Back then it was feature-set identical to Beta 1.6.6 on PC. TU3 brought the game to feature parity with Beta 1.7.3, adding in pistons and such. Man it was such a fun time playing the game then as well as throughout all the updates that came out since, although I stopped playing on Xbox 360 regularly in 2016. PS4 was the last port of this game to hold onto the old console edition engine, I was sad when it switched over to Bedrock in late 2019, ultimately marking the end of an era. Forgot to add: Oh yeah, I absolutely LOVED all the tutorial worlds too, and would do the music disc hunt upon the release of every new tutorial world. Man, 4J Studios was such an amazing game developer, who made a brilliant port of the game for consoles, building a custom engine from the ground up while still fully retaining the Minecraft feel.
I've always been told I'm a new player because I came in when the Horse Update dropped, but it definitely feels crazy to see all the new stuff come in that I've taken for granted as always there
I mean you used to be a new player but now definitely new player I think a lot of new players came at 1.13 tho the horse update still seems new to me even tho I was like only tenish when it came out I started playing the game between 1.4 and 1.5
I love how Caves and Cliffs is just summed up as Otherside lol 😅😂 and yes before you tell me, I am aware of the impact this update actually had on the game. The new terrain generation was much needed and so when the Mountains won the biome vote, it was actually a great thing
I definitely played earlier than this, but the first update i remember getting hyped for was 1.8. Those door and fence variants, along with banners, were HUGE back in the day
I think when I first played Minecraft, sprinting wasn’t a thing, but felt quick. Not to mention, the only bars were the health, drowning, and armor bars. Level bars and the hunger bar weren’t a thing back when I first played. Not even caves nor infinite worlds.
Infinite worlds was still the coolest thing added to Minecraft. Going from maps that just cut off and fall of the edge of the world to maps that just go on forever was really cool
@@notxvexorr4379 Actually, there was an invisible barrier to keep you from falling off the edge. So glad infinite worlds were added to pocket edition 2 years after I began playing in early 2013.
Dang I was really hoping this video would be from the very beginning of Minecraft because I have a lot of memories of and nostalgia for the updates before 1.0 but its still cool to see the updates after 1.0 represented in a nice visual manner like this.
Whats everyone’s favorite update? Mine is definitely 1.13. It was the first time I played survival after solely playing 1.8.9 on servers, and the oceans just amazed me. I would swim and use a boat, going thousands of blocks for hours just to look at all the water and surrounding terrain. It only stopped once I encountered an elder guardian and the “jump scare” caused me to have a panic attack 😭😭😭
I Play since 1.2.4 and IMO 1.7 was amazing. It added lots of biomes and I was so hyped bc it was the biggest update at the time. If you explored most of new biomes you could play huge amount of mods that were made for 1.7.10. amazing update probably my favorite
my version for servers is clearly 1.8.9, my favorite for survival is 1.16.5 If it's for nostalgia, my favorite favorite is 1.8, I used it all the time when I was a kid
Some people argue that minecraft doesnt make as much content as they used to, but really they just make bigger updates instead of smaller more frequent ones
I remember being excited when horses were added to Minecraft. They go vroomm. It's the first update that always made me eager to read the patch notes moving forward, and of course "removed herobrine."
1.15 I started around this update (2019) and I honestly remember being so excited about the updates 😭😭 I don’t play as much anymore, but those were good times. Trapping mobs in holes and finding ways to murder them 😌
It got good again later imo. I also hated the 1.9 update and played sometimes on 1.8 for quite some time, but decided to give the newer versions a shot when 1.13 came out and the combat feel improved a lot, even though I don't even remember what changed from 1.9 to 1.13 combat-wise. Then from 1.14 onwards it just got insanely better imo, I can't imagine coming back to 1.8 vanilla
Man to be honestly all the updates since 1.2. 5 feels so Newby, even tho they're almost 10 (!!) years. I still remember playing 1.2.4 on dad's laptop back in 2012 in my 4th grade. Damn what a good old days.
Starting 1.9 onward, minecraft just transformed into a 1.6.4 mod pack from 2013. I remember there being like 5 mod pack bosses that looked almost exactly like the warden
I've been playing since 1.2 and it's so crazy how time went by so fast, I remember some of updates like it was yesterday, but then seeing the year it was uploaded feels so nostalgic, man can't believe I'm getting older.
It is CRAZY the leaps and bounds Minecraft has had over the years. So many of these updates were seriously game changing. I remember when they added the ability to change the direction of how stairs were positioned and even how stairs would connect to each other when they were positioned differently. And that was HUGE for building houses! And I remember them adding the end and the Nether. And the game felt like it had WAY more purpose. The updates have made for some awesome times and phases of life for Minecraft. And the new team at Mojang has really built on the foundations that were laid in the beginning in so many meaningful ways. And They're even adding their own foundations to the game with the Deep Dark and new biomes! I'm so excited to see what the Mojang the team has next.
1.7 brings the most nostalgia to me. Back in 2013, I remember being so hyped for the stained glass, literally every window I had in my base got replaced with lime stained glass. I was a sucker for green colors back then.
I remember being a 9yr old in 2016 when the end cities were added. They still feel recent-ish, even though more than half a decade has passed. I’m old*. I also remember a time when there were only oak wood and iron doors, but i started playing from spring 2015. I played on pocket edition, so i wonder if that’s the reason. I think it probably is, as i remember having only clear glass for a while, but when i visited my uncle and he let me play minecraft on his computer, there was colored glass. Anyway, this video was a nice, nostalgic trip through memory lane. Edit: *i feel old
Lmao 9 in 2016 which is 15 now Your not even prime age yet I get the allegory but maybe try not to use it when its thats off. Maybe just say I feel so old which is werid cus blah blah you get it
This whole „I‘m old“ shtick is just insulting to actual old people. 2016 was when my second child was born, and I am FAR from old. (This whole meme wasn‘t your creation, I know…)
1.13 and 1.16 are honestly my favourite updates ever, they were just so much fun they they came out and the hype buildup was insane. Been playing since 1.4.6, not even 1.7 can match 1.13/16.
I still remember when, from 1.0 to 1.8 there were new mobs every 2 updates, when 1.8 snapshots started I was hyped saying "Boi there gonna be new mobs cant wait"
I guess this video confirms I started playing this game during 2011. Never really knew because I was so young. I remember being so hyped about the end.
I never knew how to update the game when I was younger so I was stuck on 1.2 for like a year meanwhile all my friends were playing 1.3, then 1.4, then for 1.5 I figured it out. 1.6 was the first update that I got to actually experience the release of. Also the first version of minecraft I ever played was pre-alpha, those were fun times. Even back then I was addicted and I didn't even know how to use the inventory and built everything with bricks.
Yes! I started playing on Xbox 360 Edition TU1 or TU2 which was identical in feature set to that of Beta 1.6.6 PC. I hated some updates along the way, and found some difficult to get used to, but I really like where the game is now today, especially 1.18. Minus a few recent buggers such as the chat reporting system and the broken 'cadence' of updates.
This game has come in such a long long way. I remember being introduced to the game 10 years ago by my friend and was very ecstatic because there's pigs, cows, chickens, and sheeps I can put inside my 8x8x8 dirt house. Simpler times.
I think there should be a little more nuance in the updates... 1.8 had a lot of flowers, and 1.9 reworked the combat system; I think adding in Swords would "show" that something changed about the swords, etc.
I remember when I first started playing minecraft on my cousins computer, I came there a few times per month and remember very well when I opened minecraft one day and saw the coloured glass, I loved it so much. A lot changed over the years and I’m excited what will be next.
Now that I think about it, in terms of content we are asking a lot from mojang, updates used to add so little to the game, but now updates have been getting bigger and bigger. I hope this doesn't make mojang give us unpolished updates to keep up with the demand
no you arent, look at the amount of content this extremely overpaid team makes like, once a year. there are mod teams out there with 2 or 3 people, putting out higher quality content more consistently, like 10x more content than you find in all of the updates combined in one modpack that they made in 2 months or something. mojang mostly just sits around and collects money
@@FrostSparks_irl Create, BetterEnd, Immersive Engineering, NetherEX before the nether update came out, Mowzie's Mobs, the list just goes on and on. I could sit here for hours listing stuff.
Performance went downhill after 1.5. The last really good and stable version and mechanics were 1.7.10. But I started playing modded minecraft and abandoned vanilla pretty early at 1.0. If I never got to modding wouldn't be playing this game to this day, mojang degraded the game rather than improved.
Thinking back on updates is a weird mental state for me. I personally think about 1.13 as the start of "newer" updates, but when I really think about it, that update still had the old textures, old nether, and classic villagers. Same think with 1.14. We got all these cool workstations, villager overhaul, pillagers, but the nether was still entirely bland. Etc, etc. It's odd to think about when you separate updates mentally like that.
It's interesting how showing just all the blocks, mobs, and items, doesn't fully capture how big or small an update was. Obviously, 1.18 was the biggest example of that, but for some other examples, 1.9, 1.13, 1.14, and 1.16 all felt smaller in this video than they do in actuality, whereas 1.12 feels much bigger than it really is

Interesting how I feel like everything starting in 1.9 feels new to me.
For me it's 1.4 haha, I played the 1.3 for a while, then stopped for 10 years and came back to 1.16. Anything beyond 1.4 is just too advanced to me :D
1.6 still feels like yesterday for me
It feels like it too for me, it could be because there's 2 year gap between the update that makes it feel more newer
Exactly the same, I can remember when you could sword spam before 1.9. And then, later on, the observer, and block such as magma block and bone block...
I feel the same, I think it's the 2 year gap and also the fact that microsoft bought minecraft after 1.8

For some reason, 1.13+ feels "newer" than the previous updates. I don't know if it's because it has more stuff but yeah
It may be because Minecraft's original popularity boom went from around 1.2 or 1.3 (I think) to around 1.9, then began to die down. Then, it started growing in popularity again around 1.13-1.14, I think. Those two popularity periods could be thought of as "old-age" and "new-age" Minecraft

I miss 1.7.10 so much... It was the best. Best servers, best animations, best controls, most mods... most fun
Funny how most of what you guys are saying can apply to beta 1.8 and beta 1.7 as well.
This is a really epic video to visualise what updates gave what, including the names! very good work!

Not really. These are just blocks, items, and mobs. There's more to these updates than just those things such as new mechanics that we've got, new structures, new generation, new setting options. Things like that.
The recent updates feel HUGE to me for the simple reason that I've been playing since Alpha, and I've mostly played 1.14.1 in recent years (most mods that we used and a server that we played on was stuck on there).
So I practically jumped from 1.14.1 to 1.19, so the changes feel massive!
I still opt to use 1.7 or 1.12 because a lot of the recent updates make the gameplay just overall worse for me.
I had such a feeling too when I started watching Hermitcraft last year. I hadn't really played much since 1.2.5 (Tekkit).
There's so much stuff these days, and so many farms people build.
Was surprised when I first saw people fly around in some other vid too, lol.
@@PixelIsaiah I think the only thing I dislike in the post 1.18 Minecraft is having to mine in deepslate. :p
But the deepslate derived blocks like bricks etc. are awesome!
@@Moshugaani
The new additions feel less like Minecraft and more like mods. And I like mods, but I don't like playing with the same mods every time I play. So I'd rather just use actual mods that way I can switch them up every time.
Heck, the new updates are almost more complicated than some of the mods I use
i generally play 1.12.2 so its even crazier when i play in 1.19. so different man
Jeez. I had forgotten we didnt even have granite or fences for every wood type until 1.8. Crazy how quickly new features become so integral to gameplay you forget there was a time they didnt exist

For me everything 1.5+ feels new to me, a little bit pre 1.0 to 1.5 is my minecraft memory. I still remember when they added the end and where i was at the time. I am also glad i experienced the era of minecraft song parodies.
The new stuff i barely know how it works
1.13+ feels like new content to me. Probably because I've played a lot of modded, and anything after 1.12 just lagged my PC (although 1.18 seems better now).
1:05 Nether update reminds me of COVID times.
YES I REMEMBER THE TIMES!!!😫😫
Before 1.13: seas full of squids
After 1.13: yaaay fish
To think I've been here since the very beginning, when lava was red water, they flowed in random directions by copying themselves in every direction but up randomly, only 4 blocks existed, and planks looked like bricks...
I feel old
I remember playing updates 1.8 and 1.9, dropping out of the game and then coming back at 1.15 absolutely bewildered
I remember Xbox 360 edition having 1.1 spawn eggs, but not 1.2 stuff, and then from there I vividly remember getting the updates through Xbox live and finding cats for the first time, villager trading becoming a thing, and horses feeling like huge milestones, and I have memories of exploring all the really amazing tutorial worlds up until they stopped supporting Xbox360 edition.
I began playing at version TU1 or TU2 of Xbox 360 Edition in June or July 2012. Back then it was feature-set identical to Beta 1.6.6 on PC. TU3 brought the game to feature parity with Beta 1.7.3, adding in pistons and such. Man it was such a fun time playing the game then as well as throughout all the updates that came out since, although I stopped playing on Xbox 360 regularly in 2016. PS4 was the last port of this game to hold onto the old console edition engine, I was sad when it switched over to Bedrock in late 2019, ultimately marking the end of an era.
Forgot to add: Oh yeah, I absolutely LOVED all the tutorial worlds too, and would do the music disc hunt upon the release of every new tutorial world. Man, 4J Studios was such an amazing game developer, who made a brilliant port of the game for consoles, building a custom engine from the ground up while still fully retaining the Minecraft feel.
Yeah, I remember there being itemframes being in the game on Xbox 360 during the 1.2 versions. They weren’t added until 1.4
I can't even remember the last time villages were dead or the last time the villagers didn't have trades. Feels like ancient history.
I've always been told I'm a new player because I came in when the Horse Update dropped, but it definitely feels crazy to see all the new stuff come in that I've taken for granted as always there
You're definitely a old Minecraft player. Since I started in 1.13 ( bedrock edition version )
I mean you used to be a new player but now definitely new player I think a lot of new players came at 1.13 tho the horse update still seems new to me even tho I was like only tenish when it came out I started playing the game between 1.4 and 1.5
Caves and cliffs part II was def the biggest update ever
It literally was lmao
I love how Caves and Cliffs is just summed up as Otherside lol 😅😂 and yes before you tell me, I am aware of the impact this update actually had on the game. The new terrain generation was much needed and so when the Mountains won the biome vote, it was actually a great thing
1.20: *INSERT A TITLE* Update
1.4 was the first version I played. oh, the memories...
I definitely played earlier than this, but the first update i remember getting hyped for was 1.8. Those door and fence variants, along with banners, were HUGE back in the day
fr 1.8 is so nostalgic
1. You included brown dye in pre 1.0, but it wasn’t added until 1.14 (we only had cocoa beans before that)
2. You forgot amethyst in 1.17
Also forgot deepslate coal ore in 1.17
I think when I first played Minecraft, sprinting wasn’t a thing, but felt quick. Not to mention, the only bars were the health, drowning, and armor bars. Level bars and the hunger bar weren’t a thing back when I first played. Not even caves nor infinite worlds.
@Hermann[best channel] aaaaa ce*sorship
Infinite worlds was still the coolest thing added to Minecraft. Going from maps that just cut off and fall of the edge of the world to maps that just go on forever was really cool
@@notxvexorr4379 Actually, there was an invisible barrier to keep you from falling off the edge. So glad infinite worlds were added to pocket edition 2 years after I began playing in early 2013.

Dang I was really hoping this video would be from the very beginning of Minecraft because I have a lot of memories of and nostalgia for the updates before 1.0 but its still cool to see the updates after 1.0 represented in a nice visual manner like this.
I've been around since alpha 1.1 and I remember how awesome the Nether update was. So many possibilities! So many adventures!

Whats everyone’s favorite update? Mine is definitely 1.13. It was the first time I played survival after solely playing 1.8.9 on servers, and the oceans just amazed me. I would swim and use a boat, going thousands of blocks for hours just to look at all the water and surrounding terrain. It only stopped once I encountered an elder guardian and the “jump scare” caused me to have a panic attack 😭😭😭
1.8 made world generation (and caves!) sooo beautiful. I'd never have guessed that I'd be in awe while playing vanilla Minecraft of all things.
I Play since 1.2.4 and IMO 1.7 was amazing. It added lots of biomes and I was so hyped bc it was the biggest update at the time. If you explored most of new biomes you could play huge amount of mods that were made for 1.7.10. amazing update probably my favorite
Nether update was also phenomenal new nether is 🤩 amazing
my version for servers is clearly 1.8.9, my favorite for survival is 1.16.5
If it's for nostalgia, my favorite favorite is 1.8, I used it all the time when I was a kid
Nether update is the best
Caves and Cliffs part 2 is just an amazing music disc

1.8 is the last update that felt like Minecraft to me
It got good again later imo. I also hated the 1.9 update and played sometimes on 1.8 for quite some time, but decided to give the newer versions a shot when 1.13 came out and the combat feel improved a lot, even though I don't even remember what changed from 1.9 to 1.13 combat-wise. Then from 1.14 onwards it just got insanely better imo, I can't imagine coming back to 1.8 vanilla
Its because all 1.9+ updates happened after selling minecraft to microsoft.

Man to be honestly all the updates since 1.2. 5 feels so Newby, even tho they're almost 10 (!!) years. I still remember playing 1.2.4 on dad's laptop back in 2012 in my 4th grade. Damn what a good old days.
Starting 1.9 onward, minecraft just transformed into a 1.6.4 mod pack from 2013. I remember there being like 5 mod pack bosses that looked almost exactly like the warden
I've been playing since 1.2 and it's so crazy how time went by so fast, I remember some of updates like it was yesterday, but then seeing the year it was uploaded feels so nostalgic, man can't believe I'm getting older.

I started playing Minecraft during 1.1. Starting to feel nostalgic ngl.
@Hermann[best channel] bro, shut up
It is CRAZY the leaps and bounds Minecraft has had over the years. So many of these updates were seriously game changing. I remember when they added the ability to change the direction of how stairs were positioned and even how stairs would connect to each other when they were positioned differently. And that was HUGE for building houses! And I remember them adding the end and the Nether. And the game felt like it had WAY more purpose. The updates have made for some awesome times and phases of life for Minecraft. And the new team at Mojang has really built on the foundations that were laid in the beginning in so many meaningful ways. And They're even adding their own foundations to the game with the Deep Dark and new biomes! I'm so excited to see what the Mojang the team has next.
1.7 brings the most nostalgia to me. Back in 2013, I remember being so hyped for the stained glass, literally every window I had in my base got replaced with lime stained glass. I was a sucker for green colors back then.
Looks like you're even using the same texture pack for each update. That's some crazy detailing

I remember being a 9yr old in 2016 when the end cities were added. They still feel recent-ish, even though more than half a decade has passed. I’m old*. I also remember a time when there were only oak wood and iron doors, but i started playing from spring 2015. I played on pocket edition, so i wonder if that’s the reason. I think it probably is, as i remember having only clear glass for a while, but when i visited my uncle and he let me play minecraft on his computer, there was colored glass. Anyway, this video was a nice, nostalgic trip through memory lane.

I've been spending the last week trying to figure out what was from which update, for reasons. How did you know I needed this?!?
Started when zombies still dropped feathers xD Great video!
I never knew how to update the game when I was younger so I was stuck on 1.2 for like a year meanwhile all my friends were playing 1.3, then 1.4, then for 1.5 I figured it out. 1.6 was the first update that I got to actually experience the release of. Also the first version of minecraft I ever played was pre-alpha, those were fun times. Even back then I was addicted and I didn't even know how to use the inventory and built everything with bricks.
1.3 was the first new update for me. I still remember when emeralds were rubies at first.
As someone who has been playing since 1.7.3 beta in 2011 it is absolutely incredible how much the game has now. Simply remarkable.
Yes! I started playing on Xbox 360 Edition TU1 or TU2 which was identical in feature set to that of Beta 1.6.6 PC. I hated some updates along the way, and found some difficult to get used to, but I really like where the game is now today, especially 1.18. Minus a few recent buggers such as the chat reporting system and the broken 'cadence' of updates.

Isn't it hilarious how 1.18, arguably the biggest MC update of all time, technically only added one new item?
I think there should be a little more nuance in the updates... 1.8 had a lot of flowers, and 1.9 reworked the combat system; I think adding in Swords would "show" that something changed about the swords, etc.
I remember when I first started playing minecraft on my cousins computer, I came there a few times per month and remember very well when I opened minecraft one day and saw the coloured glass, I loved it so much. A lot changed over the years and I’m excited what will be next.

2.9 million subscribers, 2.9 million views, perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
Now that I think about it, in terms of content we are asking a lot from mojang, updates used to add so little to the game, but now updates have been getting bigger and bigger. I hope this doesn't make mojang give us unpolished updates to keep up with the demand
no you arent, look at the amount of content this extremely overpaid team makes like, once a year. there are mod teams out there with 2 or 3 people, putting out higher quality content more consistently, like 10x more content than you find in all of the updates combined in one modpack that they made in 2 months or something. mojang mostly just sits around and collects money

Performance went downhill after 1.5. The last really good and stable version and mechanics were 1.7.10. But I started playing modded minecraft and abandoned vanilla pretty early at 1.0.

Thinking back on updates is a weird mental state for me. I personally think about 1.13 as the start of "newer" updates, but when I really think about it, that update still had the old textures, old nether, and classic villagers. Same think with 1.14. We got all these cool workstations, villager overhaul, pillagers, but the nether was still entirely bland. Etc, etc. It's odd to think about when you separate updates mentally like that.
