AntVenom – My First Minecraft World – A Retrospective Look

Hey guys and from here and welcome back to another minecraft video and today’s video is going to be significantly different than most of the videos that I wind up doing of me doing map overviews or mod reviews or anything like that today is going to be a bit of a

Retrospective video sort of a look back to the old peaceful map that I created so so long ago and I just kind of realized recently I realized two things I realized that X created a four year anniversary video to his exes adventures in Minecraft series and I realized that

I all haven’t updated this map for like nine months and that wasn’t intentional or anything like that it’s just sort of something that happened because there hasn’t really been anything new new that I wanted to create just because I sort of made this map well initially it was

Just my minecraft map I just kind of built whatever on it but it kind of morphed into a map that would see random like survival things that I would build like things that might be useful in survival like you can see there’s a sugarcane farm over there the tower is

Useful on survival because it helped me to see this area if I got too far away the you know mob farm over there when the mob you know changes went in when the when minecraft released I decided to build that the mining shaft there the cannon there you know all sorts of things

I built it because I just you know wanted something to do I guess I wanted fun little nifty things to build but yeah I haven’t had the ability to do that for the past couple of months because I haven’t really thought of anything new that I wanted to do but I

Have seen some of the stuff the Minecraft guys have been doing and I think it’s really cool sort of some of the stuff they’ve been doing so I don’t know I might wind up getting back into this map eventually let me go ahead let

Me set the time today here but uh yeah I did try to record this video a couple of times but I just wound up you know generally just rambling on and it felt to rambly so I don’t know hopefully I don’t wind up doing that in this video

But I guess what I want to do with this video is I just kind of want to show you guys around a map that really meant a lot to me are still does mean a lot to me these days and I’m so glad that I

Have so many copies of the map so that you know I can never this map will never be just a memory for me it’ll always be like a physical memory always be something that you know I’ll be able to look back to physically and like a look at and walk around it’s you

Know it’s awesome I’m really glad that I have it and for you old school fans really old school fans you know you’ll be able to look around stuff that you know I spent many many years working on I still do have a lot of the old

Versions of this map too like most of the old versions of this map so you know there’s a lot of memories that I have of this map but anyways what I want to do is I want to very briefly go over a lot of the things on this map while at the

Same time sort of talking about what minecraft means to me and you know how I really got into it I’ve never really told that story before I’ve talked about how a friend of mine introduced me to the game and I bought it on November 24

2010 I still have the receipt for it in my original email that I bought the game from but yeah there’s a bit of a darker story to what I guess it’s inherently the story of me playing Minecraft isn’t really dark it’s just it’s the bright

Light of a dark situation so I guess I wanted to go ahead and I kind of wanted to cover that in this video I don’t know why I’m doing this I just decided to I guess I saw X’s 4 year anniversary video where he toured around his map and I

Guess I felt inspired to do the same thing you know I really care about this game and I hope you guys know that like I have been playing this game for four years now oh my god it’s near four years at this point that’s crazy like I have

Been playing it for nearly as long as X has when you look at it you know when you look when you look at it from the grand scheme of things which is crazy to think because at the time he felt like such a veteran to me versus me like

Being so newbie and yes this is the peaceful map I did play this game on peaceful mode but you know I wouldn’t take back any moments that I had with this game you know I wouldn’t change the way that I played it all because I really am happy with the result and I’m

Happy with it with where everything has gotten now but yeah so anyways I guess I wanted to go ahead and I’ll take you guys for a little bit of a tour around the map while talking to you guys you know about how or what really got me into minecraft you know what what

I mean I don’t know let’s just go ahead and let’s just launcher it into it here while I’ll walk around the piece of map here and I’m just going to go ahead and I’m going to explain this really quickly so a lot of you may know that I got into

The I got into the minecraft in November of 2010 and I got into it because a friend of mine introduced me to the game that friend’s name is Nick you may know him as the guy who did a lot of the filming work he did the filming work for

PAX Prime 2012 PAX East 2013 and PAX Prime 2013 I was not able to go to PAX East 2014 but you know he likely would have been the one I would have gone with I’m going to be going with Rachel this next time around but yeah so yeah Nick

Introduced me to the game but the side of the story that you don’t know is why I was over Nick’s house in the first place why was I over there at the time why did he introduce me to the game that I did not want to get addicted to

Another game at the time I kind of wanted to get it back into making runescape videos because I wanted to you know I just kind of wanted to start making more professional stuff why did I get into Minecraft what like why was I over his house that day well I was over

Nick’s house that one day it was like November 22nd or something because I think I bought the game two days after yeah I was over his house because I was actually having a very rough time at home at the time I back then I lived

With my mom and my stepdad and you know things were pretty rough at that period in time I think when I got introduced to the game I think I had been let go not let not let go of my job I wasn’t fired I was actually let go because the place

I was working at closed in that July so I think I was still not working at the time I eventually got a job in like December you know it didn’t take me much longer but yeah I was having a very rough time at home because my stepdad

Was a very verbally abusive person did not like my presence in the house you know he used to when I first moved in he was fine with it and then you know like a year passed and he was not fine with it anymore and you know it really sucked it was it

Was really terrible piggy I I think I’m going to need you to get out because I need to go on a carpet ride here because I need to explain this yeah I’m gonna go and I’m gonna say bye to the peaceful app for now but I will wind up coming

Back to it pretty quickly here it actually may not take me that long but anyways so I was over know moving back a little bit uh yeah I was having a very rough time at home and this was a very particularly rough day because my stepdads kids are over and I could

Overhear them bad-mouthing me while they’re in the kitchen I was just doing whatever I was doing you know I never really bothered them I wasn’t like a butthole to them or anything for lack of a better term they were just generally very rude to me so yeah um I decided

That I didn’t really want to be in the house that day and like I remember this very clearly I decided to leave the house for the day and I think I actually left for like two days straight or something and I decided to go over to my

Friends Nick my friend Nick’s house who happened to live about five miles away I think it was at the time yeah and I was physically fit ish I still kind of am enough but I rode my bike everywhere so I rode my bike across town was across

Two towns and over to his house or I may have taken a cab no I think I was pretty pretty sure I rode my bike at the time it was November I don’t think there was any snow on the ground yet if there was

I would have taken a cab if not I would have ridden my bike but anyways I digress so I decided to head over to his house just to escape that crap that was going on you know I escaped for a few days and he introduced me to minecraft I think he

Had been playing it for a few days prior to that and I think he may have even talked with me about the game prior to me going over to the house but it was in those days that he actually introduced me to the game itself man this map is so

Classic but it’s in those days that he introduced me to the game itself and I think initially I probably did have the same reaction a lot of people had to the game like what is this blocky game I don’t even but I don’t think I had that

Reaction for very very long if I even did have that reaction you know I was very intrigued by the game because I mean I played games like runescape I was not like a graphics whoring person I’ve very much enjoyed games for that gameplay I think I just didn’t want to

Get into the game because I didn’t want to get into another I didn’t want to get addicted to another game like I did with World of Warcraft so that was kind of the thing let me go on let me see can I open this chest yeah diamonds and there’s a Golden Apple

In that chest whatever but yeah so he introduced him in a Minecraft he showed me his world which he had like some diamond stuff and then I watched ex’s adventures in Minecraft which is sort of you know why I mentioned him in the beginning of the video I had my phone on

Me and when I had to go to bed that night you know it was like three four o’clock in the morning I decided to fire at my phone and waste away the last 40 percent of my phone’s battery watching the first like 19 episodes of exes adventures in Minecraft and then like

The neck I think when I got back to my house a few days later I finished it up and yeah so yeah he introduced me to the game and my very first world that I ever played on was actually over his house and it was a world that had a bit more

Extravagant land terrain than this though thankfully the area immediately around the piece of map is pretty interesting but yeah all I remember is that I built up into a mountain and like bridged to mountain overhangs together with a bridge you know like cobblestone and then I created like a pool on it and

Like a little hangout area and that was all that I did on that map it wasn’t anything too extravagant it just kind of was what it was so yeah so anyways I went home and on November 24th which was probably the day I got home I

Could probably even look up if I felt like at the exact time that I bought the game I was likely either late at night or early in the morning that I bought the game so yeah yeah so I started playing minecraft with Minecraft version one point two point three underscore oh

Four and this was the second world that I ever started the first one on my personal computer that I ever started was this world and I started it on peaceful mode and I started it on a little wooden platform that I’m going to be heading back to pretty soon that you

Know it started all I actually didn’t start on the wooden platform I started on the sand and the original house that I actually created was built underneath the water well not underwater but it was built under sea level which is kind of funny I think so yeah it was me be

Me being naive with the game I dug into that and I eventually dug out my first cave system and then from there I shaped the house I built the tower I built the x-lite twelve thousand here I did all sorts of things but you know a

Lot of that progress can be covered if you guys work you have the old downloads of the map currently as a me recording this video my website is currently not functioning so I don’t have those download links readily available but I did upload them all to my mediafire

Account and I have all those links so if I were to ever lose like the website in its current form I wouldn’t lose the links so I’m not too too worried about that but anyways from there I just sort of created the map that I wanted to

Create you know it’s I spent quite a few months you know just going through and just doing my thing on this map those are some of the best months that I ever had those are the months that you know is really getting used to the game there

Actually is another world if I did find it I think it’s buried in my computer somewhere an old version of it where I used the glacier seed and I spawned a world with a bunch of different youtubers who are like big youtubers now but back then we were all really nothing

Even myself I didn’t make videos like this was back in February of 2011 we all just you know played Minecraft together myself myths an crazy mage sky yes sky does MINECRAFT a few others as well I think KK comics was in there set up sorcerer I think may have been a part of

That I don’t even remember man but it was so old-school but you know while I was at it I was developing this map and yeah so this map just sort of slowly but surely formed into the map that you guys see today and I haven’t updated it in a while because

I haven’t really seen you know much reason to update this map you know I feel like it’s almost like a very like a finished product as it is but I’m always willing to update the map if I do think of things that seem you know reasonable

To do on this map I may wind up doing more stuff with another I don’t even know but what I do know is that this map means a lot to me this game means a lot to me and I wanted to make a video at least talking about the peaceful map

Because I know that there’s probably a lot of people out there who have not seen this map and this year has just gone by so fast for me that I can’t leave that it’s been nearly a year since I’ve done a proper update to this map so

I wanted to let you guys know I wanted to let you guys know that there’s a side of me with this game that maybe a lot of you don’t know about anymore maybe a lot of you still do know about it if you guys don’t there’s going to be a

Link in the description below for the download for this map you guys can check it out for yourselves I hope that I live through this fall sometimes I do yeah I did sometimes I do sometimes I don’t but yeah so I do also want to say that this

Map was done completely legitimately up through about halfway through beta 1.7 and then I started using world at it and whatnot to make certain things specifically I used a lot of world at it but I think at the time I was doing world at it to remove things but I was

Using nothing but legitimate supplies to create the foundry area because I just wanted to create something for lulz and then the lobster pot area over here because I did I actually did all this on a live stream I can link to that live stream if I remember to in the

Description below I’ll try and remember to I don’t think all of it is included in that live stream because twitch did some really stupid stuff with pruning their streams but you’ll be able to at least peer into that I did live streaming and this was back when I was

Really trying to get into live streaming and whatnot but yeah so a lot of the snap was done in videos a lot of it was done well not much of it was done on live streams but a lot of it was really just done in my free time just enjoying

Enjoying the game I guess you know and that’s what this whole video is supposed to be about yeah I could show you guys everything in detail but I’ve done that in past videos and I just kind of wanted to let you guys know this map exists

This map is still very important to me and I don’t know I’ve been feeling very sentimental about the game lately like the old school days and whatnot and I still do enjoy the sorts of things that I do I do want to give you guys a little

Bit of a fun fact and that is that I actually don’t play Minecraft a whole whole lot a lot of people ask me how I haven’t like burnt out from the game and that’s really Oh God okay thank you that’s really why because I play the

Game in videos and whatnot I played a little bit here and there on the side but I don’t like play the game as religiously as I used to and I guess that’s how I haven’t really burnt out from the game because I play it I enjoy it but I don’t

Overdo it and I guess that’s you know the way I’ve been playing the game these days but yeah man I don’t know I guess I’ve just been very sentimental I don’t want to get too rambley about this map in this video I haven’t done it nearly

As much as I did my previous attempts to record this video but yeah if you guys want to go on an adventure and you guys feel like exploring this map for yourselves especially if you don’t know what this map was about feel free to try that the link will be in the description

Below inside of this chest right here will be everything that I am wearing on all of the tools and whatnot and if you guys want any additional tools as well feel free to come down into this room right here which houses the main supply chest room and everything that is in

These chests every single thing was gathered legitimately I made a vow to myself that I would never ever place anything in these chests that was not gathered legitimately I think even this at one point was gathered legitimately I think I took all the experience I had

And then chanted a book or something I don’t even remember but yeah even I think yeah all this TNT I got during the the glorious 1.7.2 piston duplication bug so technically it was legitimate all of these saddles I obtained legitimately by just eventually finding a bunch of

Chests a bunch of dungeon chests and even the Golden Apple I think was found legitimately so yeah pretty nifty everything here was found legitimately so if you guys want a good idea there you go all of this diamond armor legitimate all of these diamond tools legitimate everything all of this coal

All this coal is here prior to there ever being coal blocks so yeah don’t judge me for that but anyways uh yeah I think that’s a pretty much everything that I wanted to go into right now if you guys want to check this out this map out for yourselves there’s all sorts of

Little oddities that I recommend you guys check out eat but yeah anyways guys I’m going to go ahead and I’m going to head off for the time being I really hope you all have enjoyed uh yeah this is this this farm it’s pretty awesome and stuff

My name is antvenom as always and I don’t know what the point of this video was but I hope you guys found some enjoyment in it feel free to check out all the piece of map videos they’ll be in a playlist I’ll try and include that in the description

Below as well yeah but anyways guys I hope you all have enjoyed my name is antvenom as always this is a potion making system which is one of the last updates this map got my name is avin I’m as always oh yeah and this this potion making system actually did get cleaned
