The evolution of Minecraft

A man by the name of notch had an idea a cave game a sandbox seemingly endless an adventure that had everyone saying just one more block this man that game those blocks have brought all of you here to celebrate what has become minecraft it began as a simple idea sorry sorry

But you know you should use the old logo because it’s a bit more a bit more evolvey i guess right fine the game had a randomly generated world filled with grass dirt and an awful lot of stone you could destroy blocks and place blocks the spark was there but it needed more

Yeah like squids stop it shortly after more things appeared like trees water clouds lava yes lava the world looked a little more natural this was the creative mode in single player but something was missing tnt no other people tests began with a multiplayer version people could now play together

New items and blocks were also added the game was beginning to take shape wow really skimming over the details there do you want me to go over all the patch notes no the wiki page won’t learn anyway moving on the game now had multiplayer and creative single player but there was

Another element that notch wanted survival work began on making the game more challenging zombies and skeletons were put in but they could not attack sheep and pigs were added too oh notch also fluffed the coating of the pig and it turned into a creeper at this stage this version of the game was

Labeled classic classic brilliant then from classic came the in-dev version what does that mean no idea not important dynamic lighting was put in a new sound engine and more importantly crafting was introduced then came inf sorry what if dev introduced a big feature to the world infinite terrain

No longer was the player constrained to a square world but now it’s stretched endlessly all was randomly placed in the world to discover and other tweaks and introductions were made like 3d clouds minecarts and tracks and also dungeons then the first major version of the game was released not like released

Released but just available yeah pretty much fridays became secret fridays where random things were added the first being redstone which allowed complex circuitry to be created what like that thing no that no that’s ridiculous snow worlds were added so were boats and cows along with a whole host of new items oh and

Slimes those bloody hopping things then in alpha the survival mode was brought to multiplayer for the first time this allowed for players to battle monsters and survive the night together or just go around gathering creepers and then have them explode on your mates house the next big patch came on halloween of 2010.

And introduced the nether this threatening place was full of zombie pigmen and the eerie cries of the ghast not to mention a considerable amount of lava the game hit beta lots of new things were added in beta like dispensers note blocks cake redstone repeaters and beds the lighting

Also got a smooth upgrade wolves were now on the prowl and you could tame one as a pet with a stash of bones weather was introduced including snow lightning storms and rain oh look how cute that walk is shaking off the rain oh we finally found ourselves in 1.6 with the introduction

Of maps a new way to navigate the endless blocks of minecraftia things got pushy in 1.7 with pistons leading to some clever contraptions 1.8 gave vastly improved combat mechanics allowing the player to sprint draw back their bow and land critical hits on their enemies a new terrain generator was added along with quirky

Npc villages and mighty strongholds and now comes the end a true challenge awaits you in this unforgiving realm but that is something you’ll have to discover for yourself the next page is yours You
