ExxotikGaming – Revisiting My Oldest Minecraft World… (Lost for 6+ Years)

So regardless how many views this video gets this is arguably one of the most special videos i have ever made on my channel hey everybody i’m exotic gaming and welcome back to my channel today i’d like to ask you a question have you ever lost one of your very important minecraft worlds

Maybe you played on a world ever since 2011 when minecraft first became world known and a few years ago your hard drive got corrupted maybe you played on a world with your friends for many years at a time on your phone but one of your friends griefed it and you lost

All of your work for so many years i have a very similar story for you today i would like to show you all a world that i have lost for over five years this was a world that i last worked on on my iphone 5 i last saw on my iphone 5.

It has been over five years since i’ve been able to jump into it and it’s special to me because it’s my very first world i ever created on minecraft pocket edition we’re jumping into the world for the very first time now and i’m gonna keep my face cam in the corner

As i’m showing you guys this world because it means so much to me and i wanted to tell you all the story to sort of explain how it’s so crazy that i’m actually able to jump into this world once again so i’ve been playing minecraft almost since the very beginning

I remember all the way back in like 2011 maybe 2012 early 2012 i had a friend who showed me it’s on his laptop and i immediately got it the second i got home and when minecraft pocket edition released on my phone i almost immediately downloaded it

Afterward one of the very first worlds i think this was my very first world that i ever created was a creative world because back then i’m sure a lot of you guys can relate i was scared of survival mode i didn’t think i would ever do well in survival

Mode and because of that for the first many years i never jumped into survival worlds in minecraft i i only did creative but i created a creative world back when worlds were not infinite and i just started building i built one small house and you can see from the background i

Did not have the best building style i loved my gold roofs and i never put interiors in my buildings but the fact of the matter is this is how i first began building in minecraft that was how my beginning buildings looked and you know hey i’d say it’s probably not

The worst in the entire world there are probably some people that aren’t as good as me in building but that’s besides the points i started building and i built more and more and ever since 2012 i worked on and off for so many years for three to four years after i started

At the very beginning and that was the only world that i truly built on in minecraft pocket edition back on my old phone now i built a lot of my buildings with wood and some of those buildings had a lava floor back many many years ago i’m sure some of you guys remember

In minecraft pocket edition lava did not spread fire from multiple blocks away so i would have a lava floor with glass on top of it and only like a block or two away i would have wood and for years it never sets on fire but then one day there was an update

That changed everything there was an update where lava spread to wood from multiple blocks away and i can visibly remember i was on a road trip with my parents through southern arizona and california i was heading to los angeles and when i was driving through palm springs

I opened up minecraft because i was bored and immediately i noticed some of my buildings were getting caught on fire and i was freaking out because i had this massive city built in my world and i didn’t know what to do i got my water bucket and i was trying

To race to stop the spread of fire but it wasn’t working because it just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger it wasn’t just one building it was multiple buildings and they were all burning at the same time so i remember i was literally almost crying in the car because i thought all

Of my work was gonna be removed and i seriously remember i thought i deleted the world i deleted minecraft and i never looked back for years i always remembered and i always thought ah man i deleted the world and that’s it i i’m never going to be able to get this world again

Until just a couple of days ago just a couple of days ago i found this phone for the first time in a long time and i even had the screen completely warped i had to take it to someone to fix the screen so i could actually type on it

Once again and i opened it up and saw minecraft on that phone it was weird because i thought i deleted minecraft i seriously remember just completely removing it from my phone but it was there and i decided to open it up when i opened it up there was a world named

Unauthorization and it sounded very familiar to me so when i opened up that world i was immediately thrust directly into the world that i thought i deleted so many years previously immediately at the place that i logged out of where the fires were still burning i

Mean this was the first time i played minecraft pocket edition in years and i immediately had to rush to continue trying to put this fire out i mean if that’s not the craziest way to jump back into minecraft after years i don’t know what is but i immediately

Got to work i got my water buckets i got torches i was ending the flames i i really tried for about 30 minutes straight and miraculously i actually stopped the spread of fire i got rid of the lava that was underneath the floors of my buildings and i stopped

The spread of the fire out of the like probably 50 plus buildings that i had in my city maybe even more i only lost like four or five and i actually managed to save my city after over five years of that fire burning even though it really didn’t burn for five

Years because i never logged in for five years we’re gonna say it burned for five years i actually managed to stop it and now i’m touring this world and showing you guys a world that i thought i lost so many years ago i have imported my world over to my new

Phone so i can actually play on and record this properly i was showing you gameplay on on authorization old this was back before the world was infinite and this was the original world that i had created this was back when minecraft only had five slots in your inventory

And there were very very few blocks that you could actually place now i have recreated it and i want to show you guys what i’ve been working on this is my world in all of its glory this is the beauty of 2012 2013 building at its finest you’ll

Notice i showed this earlier as well this was when i actually managed to save some of these buildings i only lost one in this entire area of the map i completely encased it in water and then removed the lava and it never spread to anything else same with over here

There were a couple more buildings that were lost over in this area but i managed to actually stop the spread of fire and all of this lava is no danger to my world anymore but look over here here’s something that i want to show you all

This was a building that i had lost i lost half of this building with the water on top of its roof and i lost this building right here over here you might notice as well i’m beginning the process of rebuilding and i want to know if this is something you

Guys would like me to continue i can continue i can keep rebuilding this world and bring it back to the point that it was before lava spread fire far and wide across the worlds i can keep rebuilding until all of these buildings are back to the way they were

And i can even continue expanding farther and farther out because if you’ll notice this is where the original chunk borders were and i can actually keep spreading out farther and farther and making this world even better than it was before it all depends on if this is something you guys would like to

See maybe i could do this on a live stream one day where i rebuild my old minecraft world but i want to see if this is something you guys would like me to do in the future until then this was my very first minecraft world on my phone

This was one of my very first minecraft worlds period i really feel a strong sense of nostalgia when i play on this world and it means so so much to me and the fact that i actually can play on this world once again is just the absolute best thing ever

This will not be the last content that i make on this world i’ll be jumping back into this again in a future video but for now i’m just happy i can see this thing again it means so much to me i love this world and i’m just really really happy man i i

Just don’t understand how something like this would be lucky enough to happen to me but i’m able to play on that world once again and that’s really all that matters i’m gonna go on a plane flight tomorrow i’m gonna be flying from florida to california and

I for the first time might be playing minecraft on the plane i might seriously just enjoy playing on this world once again it’s not survival it’s creative but i might just continue building just to you know for the sake of nostalgia expand my world which i have wanted to

Do for so many years but i hope this is something you guys did enjoy this is very different from the contents that i normally post on my channel i haven’t posted minecraft content in years but i thought this was something you guys would like to see and if you stayed this far

Hey i might do more minecraft content in the future especially now since i know i have my old world on pocket edition if you guys would like to see more minecraft content potentially in the future then hey leave a like and then subscribe to my channel down below

And with that being said we’re out of time thank you so much i’ll see you all later
