Builds in early minecraft versions look very very cozy. I think thats because of the simplicity of minecraft back then, you didny have many options to choose what you wanna build with, and the alpha lighting also does a ton of work to make it look nostalgic

People nowadays don't know how good they have it when it comes to crafting glowstone blocks - it took 9 dust to craft a single block in Alpha... and mining glowstone only dropped 1 dust!! SO frustrating

I feel like the extra legwork to build in older minecraft versions is what makes it so satisfying and rewarding to see to completion. I can get sucked into playing Beta or Alpha for so long despite how much less there is to do. You have a much more restricted palette of blocks and yet in some ways it's so freeing. Good vid.

Seeing retro Minecraft really brings me back the good old days…

Hearing the old minecraft music really brings a tear to the eye.

26:55 I couldn't agree more; I hope more UKpostsr's play the older versions of Minecraft and make it a new trend. I've spent 100 days in my own Alpha world and it's the most fun I've had playing in Minecraft in over a decade

One memory I will never forget about old mc is that I cried over a creeper blowing up my lapis block 😭 I was very scared of mining because of mobs, so I could never get diamonds. I put a lapis block in my house, pretending it was a diamond block and put two stairs near it to serve as a table. I somehow allowed a creeper to get in my house, the house was in ruins and my special lapis block was gone 😅😭

6:15 the cow's mouth has a sheep inside it

Do you remember you could place ladder every 2 blocks instead of 1 by 1 ?

Damn, that castle made out of 5 block types looks better than my 1.19 house 😩

Wasn’t every one obsessed with the modern house idea back then?

This is seriously one of the best Minecraft videos on UKposts. You literally have me in stitches with your commentary!

First time watching one of your videos -- really enjoyed this! It's fun seeing the update progressions.

Dude, it’s crazy looking at the old Minecraft, it’s like the memories are slowly fading away from my mind 😭

Haven't watched those types of videos for a long time. This one's fantastic.

14:14 'i ran out of stone so i went and killed some pigs' killed me

This video brought me a certain happiness and nostalgia, especially at the end with the theme song. Reminds me of the first time I played Minecraft on my computer in the 2010s and later on Xbox 360.

As much as I love Minecraft now, this was the best game ever. You really had to get creative with the 5 world slots and very, VERY few blocks, and yet it went famous because of how fun it was. Pros and cons, but I prefer alpha and beta over modern day craft. My earliest memories of mc are me climbing up my bunk bed with MCPE on my iPad and dying to a spider while cozied up in a lil' blankie. And, it's kinda weird that Minecraft now, while having things like terracotta and more types of stone, just doesn't feel as good or realistic as original mc. Minecraft has always taught me to follow my own objectives in life. There is no ender dragon of your life, but you can set your sights as high as they need to be. Meet new people with cool skins, make houses together, get rich. Anything and everything I just said can be done with less than 100 blocks and some free time. Again, Minecraft nowadays is still crazy fun, but It's somehow less realistic than old Minecraft, and holds much less nostalgia then me getting dogged on by a Yoda skin on Xbox 360.

*this was golden versions back then. early 2010s revolutionary era of gaming. 1 man. 1 game. 1 community.*

That video makes me feel so comfortable and nostalgic, even though I play Minecraft very rarely and never played this old versions

we're so used to do things in a hurry that when we play older versions, we discover that having a hurry to do things it's not as important as having fun. I hope that playing older versions and bringing that feeling that we had to the new generation of people who loves Minecraft becomes a trend.

I always get nostalgic seeing people play alpha minecraft even tho I always played bedrock on a mobile device

Not posting on the internet for 1 year is like not posting for 1 decade

"For every tree I cut down, I will replant one" So Wholesome 😂😂😂

8:22 The sheep is named Sheep, which is of course an epic reference to Sheep in the Big City, where the titular sheep is named Sheep

My brother and I use to convince people we made the TU11 tutorial world. In retrospect, they probably believed us because we had an older version than anyone else because we didn’t have Xbox Live so we couldn’t update the game passed the version on the disc and everyone else had newer tutorial worlds.

I miss what the old ore looked like

Instant sub!!! Loved watching this vid, brought back so many memories of old Minecraft.

This brings back so many memories... Can you do a part 2? But like a part 2 when you play on the same world but in Beta

There ARE actually sounds, as well as skins, in all of these versions! All you need is to use the betacraft proxy java argument when launching the game, or use the betacraft launcher. It fixes A LOT of problems that have arisen in the 13 years since these versions released. If you ever were interested in a part two, I'd be happy to talk and help make producing the series easier (and look better ;P). Thanks for the video! all this coming from an old school minecraft nerd with too much free time :D

Actually the loom block is used to put patterns on banners. It also can turn villagers into the shepherd type villager.

this was a ride of a nostalgia trip for me. Thank you for letting me swim in nostalgia, thinking about my first minecraft world on PS3. i think i still have the console i played on. im gonna check out my old worlds now.

This is actually an idea I’ve done for fun before. Starting with older versions and working up to get everything the old school way is fun. I like it for the nostalgia but I can see how a new player wouldn’t want to play this way

so underrated , u deserve more, personally i play the 1.6.4 version cuz i love the simplicity

Seeing these old versions again bring me memories :')

Make sure hero brine doesn’t spawn HE’S COMING

24:45 I don’t remember what update it was, but it’s possible you were in the one where you took damage if the water was only a block deep. At some point the water had to be at least two blocks to avoid damage. (Depending on the height.) I don’t remember when that got changed.

Sand addiction reminds me of Sandiction😊

This is one of the only videos of old minecraft I watched the past few years. This hit me in a different way. Minecraft is just a different game than other games.

28:10 ok, you need a hug.

This video fills me with nostalgia I remember playing Minecraft in 2009. None of us knew back then how successful the game would be

i love how everyone in the old versions search a place to build and then continues normally

this is why i'm playing beta. something about it just vibes with me so well

20 seconds in and you're not spending a single day in minecraft's oldest version lmao

holy the nostalgia of this video is crazy especially the music at the end (mc music) I remember when me and my dad were playing mc together and I found out how to go into creative and spawned like 1000 horses but it is so nostalgic

28:30 that actually really sad😢

R.I.P first house on top of the hill you played a great roll in this adventure...

This was such a great video. Deadass I enjoyed this so much like it was really fun seeing you collect all the blocks and then building stuff in such a nostalgic way. I'm currently building a survival world in the beta 1.7.3 minecraft version and I wish I could be as good as you lmao

Ahh yes, back when snow block is the best material for modern theme base

This video was so inspiring, and it wasn't even intended to be inspiring. In other words, you did fking amazing brother, you did absolutely amazing in this video. I am waiting for 200 days, and shall be patient in hopes that your viewers patience will give you time to make the 200 days as good as this video. Thank you Elder!

Would you mind continuing the series (with the whole update every 5 day thing) until you beat the ender dragon if that's not a problem

The old glass texture with a wood house is so nostalgic

OMG the white ender men!! Behind you at 3:17!

5:07 good lumberjack

This is an epic video old minecraft is very nostalgic.

Can we just take a minute and just enioy all his hard work! Nice job new subscriber

In older versions u could craft notch apples

I think old minecraft looked better tbh like the simpler graphics gave it heart

This is one of my favorite videos that you made

Watching this video brought so many good memories from when I played alpha as a child. Life was so peaceful and carefree back then. I will definitely revisit older versions of minecraft. Waiting for more videos like this one! ❤️

1:08 when people from 10 years ago have good edit program and editting skill

We love a vulnerable king openly talking about crying over his lost minecraft world. Great video, had a great laugh, thank you for great work!

Your sense of humor is gold, I’m a fan now😂

amazing video,very fun and chill to watch

This is amazing. Very cool to watch... 👏🏼

this makes me wanna play AGAIN, especially the lastest minecraft alpha version, even more affordable and perfect to handle to play again, thanks.

I simply loved that video man, so much good vibes and good memories

Amazing video,do part 2 :D

please more of this. i absolutely loved this vid!!!

5:52 I wish they added this

Love the video!! Epic editing Damn lov it!!! 🥰

Old Minecraft is nostalgic

Nothing brings me back as much nostalgia in old mincraft then inconvenience, anxiety, bugs and the occasional graphical errors and funky sound and texture work.

24:12 bro he said day 63 on day 73

Got nostalgia flown all out of my head when i see this, i even cried because like its old and i rememberedmy biggest build in alpha so thanks for making this video

Hello Bill Gates

21:55 you blew a creeper 😏

back when the game was actually good instead of a complicated mess.

Tip for finding your old structures (if you still have the original world): Try teleporting to random locations (if there are commands in that version of minecraft I don't know if there are), marking the teleport locations with a diamond block or something, and then flying into each direction for around 500-750 blocks. Repeat if you don't find it. Hope this helps you!

This is honestly the best . You inspired me to like survive 100 days in Minecraft because I always give up in Minecraft.😂

29:00 "It took forever to make the water flow properly because I'm stupid." I think that's so funny

1:35 who built a castle 😂😂

Minecraft ALPHA but Herobrine kills Eider 😱

Thanks Eider .You inspired me to build a nice house.

28:20 same, this happened once and it was a multiplayer world with my nephew and we both lost the base. Luckly I built a cobble tower and we found it again :)

Such an interesting video, well done bill gates!

I'd love to see like an "alpha biome" be implemented into the current game. The same terrain generation and lime green grass and trees, deep blue water and patches of sand. Maybe the old red and yellow flowers (and maybe the old blue one from Pocket Edition too).

I’m proud of you for playing the oldest Minecraft because people forgot about it and started to like the updates even more since mobs and animals became popular for some reason As I hear you explaining and talking about building the castle and everything I was relaxed, especially the music in the background and I’m happy about that I nearly fell asleep to it So thank you for uploading this video of an old Minecraft ❤

7:13 bruh the ore

23:52 W for you

4:47 That sheep on the left hand side got violated 💀

this is nostalgia in a weird way

29:20 😭 the music literally made me cry 😭

25:42 you should be behind bars

I find your voice/videos very calming most UKpostsrs that I watch are always screaming 😂

Honestly i’ve followed minectaft since alpha 1.1.2 with that super light green grass and become a player since beta 1.3 where they added beds and even though i stopped playing minectaft many years ago sometimes i can feel this nostalgia and it makes me wanna install some old minectaft version and play it again regardless of the fact that compared to present there was not much things you could do except build and mine, this game is my childhood

0:59 yeah true...

I would like it if you continued this world into every version of Beta! Nice castle!

20:29 legend says hes still caving

that minecraft music in the end hits hard
