What is the Oldest Minecraft World?

What is the oldest Minecraft world is quite a philosophical question because to answer it you first need to ask not what is Minecraft but when is Minecraft Let Me Explain the first container to answer this question is May 13 2009 and the first build of Minecraft was released at this time seeds weren’t

Even a feature in the game so every world that generated would be exactly the same so to determine whether this really is the oldest Minecraft world could you investigate this for me please sure why not the oldest of Minecraft world and uh it’s a whole lot of nothing

Ah there are oh okay even the side of the grass wasn’t finished yet and this Cobblestone texture it’s ancient there’s no way to decide which block you want though it’s just like Minecraft decides for I don’t want a cobblestone I guess that’s kind of cool kind of all right what can we build

Oops oh okay there’s a bit of a glitch where you could go inside of the blocks I guess that’s like a cool x-ray exploit except there’s no oars in the game yet oh the lighting is a bit and there is lighting you know I can’t fault it for

That oh look at that oh no I kind of don’t want to finish my roof because it’s going to become Pitch Black in here Into Darkness oh I actually quite like that can I jump off the edge it’s moderately gray right and if I get further away it’s black what

Oh yeah I like that it may sound like the sky is like just a big blue wall but it isn’t God I can see into the static code of the universe the secrets are being revealed to me the knowledge is too much good thing I have teleportation Powers

Now there is actually something like kind of weird that I wanted to test with this Gmail please welcome to my desktop you see this level dot debt I’m gonna try and just put in like a random level and see what it generates 4K with what

Is this hold on oh my God what is this wait what sorry this is not the oldest Minecraft world this battle I don’t know what this is look he’s gonna be out it’s kind of scary what the hell was that right I made a world let’s test it Oh my God okay the trees are gone there aren’t any like Textures in the game yet there’s one bit of grass up here whatever the trees go finally the caves from cave tests also I was like trolling through some old internet forums from when Minecraft was being developed at

Him like 42 sure Notch said he wasn’t gonna add jumping maybe I got that wrong it was already in the game I think it’s had enough yeah it didn’t work but there was something that I didn’t notice while I was loading modern Minecraft the oldest ever version of

Minecraft is called Old Alpha Rd actually stands for Ruby dunk which was a game Notch worked on before Minecraft so even though it’s in the launcher this game isn’t even Minecraft not yet anyway which brings us to the next possible answer to the question so the very first version of classic Minecraft was

Released just a few days later but unfortunately this version of Minecraft is lost when Minecraft was a much smaller game nobody thought to preserve it why would they and just deleted old versions of the game when there was an update this means that whatever the oldest classic Minecraft world is it’s

Definitely lost time but I wasn’t happy with this so I did some digging in an archived chat room thread where Notch posted a download link to this version someone called doc posted a link to a screenshot of a house they made so brilliant this is the oldest Minecraft

World and I’ll just copy and paste the link and nothing the image is old it’s long since been deleted so there’s no way of knowing what the oldest Minecraft world looked like right well I tried everything I could think of but then I realized the answer was right in front

Of me look at this URL the link contains LJ and then it clicked that’s live Journal live donor was a popular blogging platform many years ago but when I checked their profile they unfortunately hadn’t written any updates today that Minecraft came out it seemed like it was a dead end but after some

Poking around I found out that you can view all of the photos a user had uploaded by visiting their scrapbook and it seemed like this was going to be the jackpot they even had an album called game screenshots this was definitely it but when I clicked on it Animal Crossing screenshots the oldest

Minecraft world is nowhere in sight as the last ditch attempt at seeing the image I sent them an email asking about it there’s no guarantee they’ll even reply but be sure to follow me on Twitter to find out now there’s one final option the oldest Minecraft world

That still exists a world from just a month after the release of Minecraft is thought to be the oldest Minecraft world which we still have and it’s not empty like that first one it was preserved by a group called Omni archives so massive credit to them and to find out what it

Looks like we’re gonna go explore it it was like a prehistoric form they won’t even see it in this version of the game yet well it was a grass is this supposed to be something or is this just like the cube since this is before glass

I think they’ve used leaves as a sort of Skylight it’s got like a balcony you can see this gravel Tower you can see some apartments let’s go check out this apartment complex they want like a fortified trench with no water in it the skull you really had to use your

Imagination maybe if you interpreted it generously these are stairs I know a staircase when I see it oh the view is great it’s impressive how much work the imagination had to do there aren’t even any fences you just fall off and die this world is not Usher certified

Because it’s like a bar I don’t know fun is that so fun what’s in the fun house guys is this fun is this this is the funnest Vanguard in my entire life the maze this is crazy fun that was the greatest Maze of all time oh in the coffins yeah those are the

Epitome of fun dude he’s got a helicopter pad or maybe I maybe the building is sentient so before we keep exploring I do want to give you a quick warning for those of you who do want to download this world and look at it for yourself I’m exploring it for the sake

Of showing you the oldest Minecraft world but there is some hateful imagery in this world which obviously I’m not going to show you I don’t know if it was intentional but it is there so please do just be aware if you have a look for yourself alright back to exploring look

At this they were like two Guardians and this is a portal maybe I don’t know wait there oh yeah hold on wait what why iron you can’t even mine it that there’s no pickaxe so I like press e oh teleport somewhere right oh what the hell I’ve pressed something no my mouse

Movements are inverted this wasn’t on the Wikipedia it didn’t warn me about this well I guess I’m just playing with an inverted Mouse for the rest of it then oh my God I just realized this place was built in 2009. please leave a comment if this world is

Older than you because that’s mental I love that has a moat around it there you go you know it’s got Mo side note I think it’s kind of funny that this game is called Minecraft when you can’t do either of those things in this case oh

My God it’s just meant to be a lighthouse it’s not very light welcome everyone to my Beach Resort what do you think oh it’s got balcony oh this is the bedroom they’ve got a they have a fireplace the fire is made up of leaves I like that yeah that’s good

Oh dude awesome I love the giant wooden throne in my basement with the leaf tea leading to the cave system a classic reader of any Beachside house should I make the video quality really low so it’s like the authentic 2009 experience YouTuber you should subscribe to was illegal so there’s a giant communism

Symbol we think about it I bet there were no rules on This Server I bet this is the oldest Anarchy server in Minecraft I’m in some kind of like background Labyrinth right now I kind of want to leave okay at the TV room the scheming room the uh ocean room and then you

Can’t you’ve got the nothing room it could be bothered to fit it just one call that’s not a car I’d say it’s a car that’s clearly not a cop I love being faster It All Leads up to this the Bedrock I’m gonna smash through it maybe not gold with this gold as well

Okay even finds someone has added in this version of Minecraft no they were Herobrine wasn’t added until at least based in Minecraft so we won’t be summoning him today well there you have it that was the oldest Minecraft world but before we close it there is one last

Thing I do want to try I think you can load this into Minecraft version first one ever Tada oh what the okay hi whoa it’s looking a little bit um this is a beach house it’s been cut open like a surprise toy egg and the surprise was just misery oh at least the

Fun land is still intact what the heck yeah maybe I wasn’t supposed to combine them it’s ravaged it well whatever Professor I hope that my research has been helpful yes I found it very insightful and I’m sure you found it interesting too which if you did you should totally check your subscribed in

The end though I’m not sure we’ll ever be 100 sure what the oldest Minecraft world is but this is probably as close as we’re ever gonna get to knowing thank you for watching and I will see you guys next time bye-bye Thank you
