Hello i’m fbx toy cat and 10 to 11 years ago now a brand new game was starting to take youtube by storm becoming the biggest video game on the site and it was of course minecraft and although this minecraft game was very popular it Was one i kind of refused to play and it took a lot of convincing from a friend of mine to even sit down and give it a try but reluctantly i did give it a go i played for a few minutes and then a few hours and then my friend went to sleep And when he woke up the next morning i was still playing minecraft that story is a deep part of why i love the game however modern minecraft looks nothing like the minecraft from back then so what if i shared with you the version of minecraft that made me fall in love with The game so much so that i’m still playing on the internet 10 years later let’s jump into beta 1.2 wow did you see that mojang specifications logo and do you see this minecraft up here but it’s made from stone and there’s no creeper logo in the A man that’s nutty even even stuff like if we dive into the options everything here is just slightly off from the sliders to the fact that instead of render distance being chunks it’s like tiny short and far with far being like 12 chunks everything is also difficulties only controlled here There’s there’s a lot of very strange things happening here but the weirdest one is the fact that there was only five worlds available they’re on a different like save file to modern minecraft saves so apparently i’ve played old-school minecraft this many times and i’m going To use my fifth and final slot to play some minecraft 1.2.02 beta and i’m actually really lucky that i happen to know this is the precise version of minecraft i played all those years ago because um i remember i played minecraft all the way through the night and when i loaded up Minecraft again the next morning a brand new update had come out which had beds which after some googling is beta 1.3 which means fortunately we know beta 1.2.02 is that first version i played and honestly isn’t this terrain more impressive than like 1.17 i mean this is The sort of stuff people want from caves and clips i i it really has to go about saying that like man that is that is something there also i don’t think there’s custom skins or if they are i don’t know how they work and oh you there’s no looking at yourself you can Only look at the back of your head first and third person which makes more sense when you think about it like minecraft’s the only game where you can play first third and then second person i guess you’d call it where you stare yourself in the face it’s all very strange stuff But um yeah let’s uh man this this was a different time i i remember being you know the friend being like okay so you gotta punch some wood and i was like you punch the wood yes that’s how you break the wood this is nice and realistic friend he’s like no No you’re gonna enjoy it then he’s like you go to inventory and you craft it and then you make a crafting table why do i want a crafting table just trust me man just trust me man i’m like okay i have a crafting table he’s like now punch a Bunch more wood okay this is so fun thank you friend for introducing me to this game where everything looks terrible and i’m just punching blocks thank you and for real i punched a whole giant tree and he’s like yeah that’s that’s probably enough wood and i was Like another word for what i i still don’t understand any of this like uh again like this you know when when minecraft people try to teach you things they’re just like yeah you just you want the things there’s no real explanation of why also look the items are all 2d Sprites that just follow you around when you look around at them clever way to save them resources genius um but yeah so um oh by the way that means at this point in minecraft there’s no real reason to need cheap in the early game which you punch by the way to share um Because obviously i don’t have a bed i can craft from this because that’s the next update is the way this update is defined but yeah i think i need to go to the top of that mountain right there and make a house or should we enjoy minecraft’s most Useful feature the squid i mean when they introduced the squid it seemed pretty useless but thankfully they never repeated this mistake of adding a near useless squid to minecraft that is that is something that would never uh happen in the future but yeah as you can see this is actually a really intense Spawn in right here oh also it wouldn’t just hit me now there was no seed on spawning in like it’s not that i skipped it you just there are no seeds in this version of minecraft that is a feature that is yet to be invented My god this is this is look at look at this cliff this is what we need in minecraft but i don’t know how i’m gonna claim it maybe it’s not what we need in minecraft okay i’ve officially hit cloud height that’s exciting and therefore i’m on top of the world now this Actually physically might be the top of the world like there is a height limit that is very low in old versions of minecraft and so let’s see if we’ve hit it let’s see if uh i mean it’s possible yeah i’m guessing from all these flat trees Yeah we found the height limit of old minecraft this quickly that’s all it took apparently so let’s uh now jump over here jump over that there’s no sprinting of course i i don’t know how that’s only just hitting me and so making very simple jumps is surprisingly hard and now we can enjoy The world everything the light touches is apparently mine oh man i have missed that old oh sound uh quite seriously but yes so this is uh basically the peak of minecraft beta generation there were biomes back here but they’re pretty simplistic by comparison today’s ones like yeah you’ve Got beaches you’ve got planes what just happened there i don’t know oh you press the r key or the f key and your render distance goes up or down man this is this is cool right the fog that has increased significantly i guess f for fog right so yeah if you’ve ever Wanted to play minecraft but you feel like you can see too much this is the setting for you is that what most people think when they play minecraft i hope not but yeah back to back to full fog back in the day this would have been like State of the art like whoa you can play minecraft and see things that far away i remember even on my friend’s pc i had to play with like super low settings like something like this and i was like yeah but i mean like at least it’s not like When i play on my own laptop where i play like this and it still stutters and gets 11 fps you can watch my first ever minecraft video if you want to see just how bad the pain was in that regards but yeah it’s pretty cool to go back to these older versions And see them in ways that realistically they weren’t played and also punch cows that don’t seem to care about any of that okay something very scary just happened in real life you’ll have to trust from my scream uh that you know i i know on youtube scream is What you do when something is very minorly inconvenient in a video game and you’d like to get more clicks on your video however for me that was a genuine i am terrified of what is happening scream and so yeah i’m on half a heart but that’s actually pretty fine in this Version i’m not going to starve to death the only thing that can kill me is everything that wants to kill me that is around right now the spiders the creepers the skeletons and let’s not forget the zombies but there’s only four mobs that want to kill me which is the Nice thing about this version so my goal today is to try and relive my first minecraft experience sadly because it’s on a friend’s computer i don’t have any like i don’t have any backups of the world i don’t have any screenshots i don’t i in fact i don’t have anything Until i bought minecraft on my xbox 360 a solid year later or so or also look at the way that skeleton is holding his bow oh no no no no no no why’d i look at him don’t don’t don’t no no i don’t deserve this i’m glad you agree i’m glad you Agree um but um ooh sugarcane uh the uh the interesting sad thing is like i don’t have any real proof of that first beautiful time playing minecraft and so i need to recreate my proof and live my day perfectly the same i settle down on A hill if i’m not mistaken oh this was a time before critical hits if you jump it’s just it’s just you being weird and potentially dangerous huh but yeah i remember this very clearly um because he my friend was like you have to make a House and although i was like why do i need to make a house isn’t that kind of silly uh eventually i relented and he was like yeah what you need to do is uh you know build some walls so you’re safe at night something i’ve clearly neglected today um but basically i’m the Place i decided to make a house because if you’re gonna have a safe place safest place to make it don’t kill me safest place to make a safe place would be on top of a hill and so that’s exactly where i went i found a lovely hilltop just like this Well i guess we’ll start that one again and uh just go a different direction okay let’s try this again punch wood make crafting table punch more wood punch more wood punch the wildlife too find a nice hill to cool home i think this one will do nicely and then soak in The view while we build our house using just five bits of wood that might be a challenge but you know i’m up for that because the first thing you’ve got to do is you’ve got to craft uh all sorts of tools for some reason everyone who starts getting to minecraft’s like yeah You need a hoe and you need a shovel and you need a sword no no no no you just need a pickaxe that’s all you need then you can get stone tools for the rest because yeah although building a house is useful and although we totally do Intend to do that uh don’t you worry i feel like also um you know it’s uh the the first thing i built my actual house from was i remember very distinctly it was cobblestone because the time the moment i fell in love with minecraft is when my friend’s like yes you’re gonna Need some coal now and i was like why do i need coal for torches why do i need torches because otherwise monsters will spawn in your base and i was like okay that sounds interesting but the moment that i i knew i loved it is when i started going underground because like Yeah you just gotta start start going down on the ground make a little staircase like this and i was like okay sure that’s fine and then i started mining and i was like okay this is interesting there’s like stone below the ground it started rhyming at the a weird Java game i played on a website called funnel called minor disturbance that’s a very vague reference one of you got but it reminded me of that game because it’s like oh we’re going caving now this was the moment the game stopped being about wood and cactuses and dumb looking cows But instead started to become a game that was actually uh deep and complex because this underground spanned as i i didn’t know how far it went but i knew that it got more and more interesting the deeper dam we went and uh the other cool thing was that oh yeah once you’ve Gone underground enough you get some cobblestone and you can use that cobblestone to make better tools you can replace your dumb uh you know stuff wooden shovel that you’ve made for some reason with a stone shovel and that stone shovel works better even your pickaxe the very tool you started with Guess what that can also be upgraded into a stone pickaxe and again i was i was improved by this idea of like improvement and uh you know again like this challenge of the depth because after i mined for most of the minute and i was like okay so it’s just mining the Blocks in the ground i guess this makes sense hope i find an iron ore you know what happened i found some coal okay this is this is actually just like a requirement for playing minecraft let’s let’s go let’s make those torches i was excited at this Idea of like ooh i can light the place up now these torches mean safety and the more of these torches i place the more areas i can inherently make safe it’s a very simple invention the torch but it really does wonders for the game and so yo god Okay that’s why you need torches a lot of stuff like that happens how did you spawn i thought it was daytime i i didn’t know it was okay for you to spawn about now but apparently you disagree okay so things are going well right now i think you’ll agree so it’s funny because That first creeper moment is also something that happened on my first day because my my friend was like hey um you gotta make sure you watch out for those green business monsters and i was like um excuse me and he’s like yeah yeah if you don’t watch out for the green Sponsors they’ll blow you up and i was like oh that’s that’s funny but like for real what do i have to do and he’s like no yeah the the greenest monsters they’re gonna come and beat you up and you know what i i don’t know why i Didn’t take his word seriously but you know the first time it happens to you you realize that actually yes maybe these things do pose a threat to me and indeed my whole base is safety and that’s why you need torches if you don’t want to be terrorized against you need Tortures actually you know what this is my solution to you know it’s funny i kind of made fun of my friend for forcing me to chop down basically an entire tree but on this second run i chopped down one and i’ve actually run out of planks already Partially because of the the green green monster of you know genital looking we do not name but also uh because again apparently alderney minecraft you know when you’re making a traditional base you do go for a lot of stuff so i guess let’s make a stone axe to get some more Oh god we need to be fast because we’re going to die that is the only way to explain what’s going to happen right here nighttime terrorized me so much on my first night because i’d heard of the you know the horrors that spawned here everywhere and even ignoring the fact That you know mobs are going to spawn there’s something just about impending doom when everyone says the sun is going down bad things happen that just fits into our human sensibilities we’ve been trained for thousands of years that yes when the light goes away bad things do Start to happen like these cows no one likes these cows have you seen their faces who would play a game with graphics like this apparently me for multiple years running but yeah something i actually really liked about minecraft was this idea that when the night comes out you need to hide and in Your first night that needs to be underground it was this kind of uh you know duality of game where in the night you know during the day you can go out you can explore you can hunt you can get some pork chops to smell if you really Want to but when night time comes and nighttime will come you need to get inside asap apparently one stick is enough to smelt a pork chop who would have figured um but uh i i really like that aspect also that’s how eating worked it’s it’s basic but it works there’s something compelling about Gameplay loops where you can do whatever you want all the time but also the game kind of nudges you and says hey this is it’s probably smart to be inside so you can avoid all those green uh you know bush monsters huh that’s what they are they’re green bushes i don’t know i Don’t know what was being censored earlier i just know that i have some real nostalgia for the way these blocks light up i mean it’s ugly it doesn’t look like natural lighting in the slightest but don’t you just don’t you just feel some nostalgia for this it looks like the minecraft logo dammit There’s just it’s just too nice to not like see it’s funny because on my first day i stumbled into a cave really quickly but now i’m trying to recreate my first day i’m just getting endless stone i wonder if i would have liked minecraft as much if i’d stumbled on a Seed where i just had to mine endless stone no iron ore even just oh yeah maybe you find something at the bottom i remember i was still fascinated by this idea that like i’m the one shaping the world every time i blake won’t break one of these blocks it makes that noise by The way yeah you love that noise too it’s one of the things that to me makes minecraft so great is that every single time you make an action on the world you hear it you know it it’s good good sound design is what makes so many games but um yeah i Remember feeling like yeah i really am shifting this world do you feel like a weird you know it minecraft’s minecrafts again that makes you feel powerless but it gives you a weird sense of power within that powerlessness okay this dirt has to be a cave right or it’s just a Plug of dirt who knows for sure okay apparently wrong apparently it’s just a big collection of dirt who could have seen that coming aha we finally have found some of that fabled iron ore my friend was like yeah you take this iron and you know what happens You smell it up and you get even better tools than that stone i was like really better than stone tools and he’s like yeah that’s a thing and i was like this is mind-blowing i don’t even understand the positivity that’s happening here but you know what i did i went and i smelt It anyway and can you believe it you throw that iron ore in the furnace you wait what feels like an eternity and what comes out is one of these and you’re like yeah i have made it now i’ve got myself the white ore that sounds pretty good and then before you know it Another one’s popping out and it gets crazy very quickly and then before you know it again you’ve got enough to craft what must be the world’s best pickaxe a pickaxe that is uh my friend told me the only way to mine that mythical diamond door which you know i couldn’t even Fathom at this point i never did find diamond in my first 12 hours of playing minecraft or something um because i guess i wasn’t digging deep enough down but uh yeah i got some iron and it was pretty cool when i first found iron with my iron Pickaxe i felt like wow this is the rich getting richer my iron pickaxe is so good i mean look at this right here here’s the speed of a stone pickaxe and here is the speed of an iron pickaxe do you notice how it’s about 10 faster well you probably don’t if you’re really Trying to pay attention but it feels cooler and it does last double as long and then i found another ore look at this one this one’s blue and i never understood the purpose of this but my friends are like oh that’s so good that’s so rare i can’t believe You just found that and i was like the blue stuff yeah yeah that’s that’s lapis you really want that and i never used it that entire day but they were insistent like yeah that’s rare that’s good you really want what’s going on there and i thought that was interesting because i i Bet given that my friends were obsessed with or they found it from minecraft youtube videos i bet they did just hear somewhere that like lapis is great and it’s rare no like yeah we don’t need to understand any more about that also i found a cave system really early on and The fact that i haven’t found one all now makes me sad it’s interesting to look for yours but it’s not as interesting as if we had a whole cave system to explore because i remember finding a real spider spawner and being horrified i am scared of spiders and Minecraft made me uh like face that fear head on it was a lot to deal with so given that i can’t find a cave we’ll just have to pretend that happened but something that was so cool was heading out after your first night in and being Like i survived and now the world is ready to explore again do you want to get some cactuses do you want to get some of that that funny looking purple block right there yeah that’s a really cool block i bet there’s so many uses for that um I uh you know like uh looking around you can be like yeah this whole world is mine i can do what i want and i remember the first project i worked on again this took me a lot of the nights i use all the cobblestone uh besides my house Which this is a bad representation of that was i wanted a giant cobblestone tower i wanted to represent like my glory and power to the world and i had a ton of cobblestone i was like you know let’s place this let’s make this work oh this cobblestone texture is so weird or Not it’s like the old gravel texture where it’s so different and you just forget that it changed because it’s been so long since it did i think i like this one more i feel like this like makes my tower a bit more grand but yeah i built myself a tower it Was very nice oh you know what’s really weird even though this is beta 1.2.02 uh and even though this is very old and this is a feature oh did you see that picked up but uh rip but um even though there’s a social version of minecraft pick block exists If you uh have a item in your inventory and you press the middle click it will be dragged to oh no it won’t it’s only if it’s in another part of your inventory but look i can it automatically moves me there and that’s so strange because to me that’s like a Modern minecraft feature like last you know five years on the bedrock but obviously bedrock isn’t everything today we learned as we played the java edition but yeah i remember having this tower and it being a very big tower i think i would do some decorations let’s let’s Put some ears on this so it looks like looks like it’s a real towel or real decorations or something but um i remember the moment i built it i was like yes i am so powerful because not only is the light helping protect me but Now i can see from a vantage point like if anything did try and come at me i’d see it first and it seemed like the logical first thing to go for it’s weird a lot of people something about like the medieval style you know like you’re using pickaxes and swords and whatever Else like inspires a lot of people to go for castles and towers and i remember just feeling so proud after a long night of like caving and building stuff again this is not to scale just having myself a giant tower being like yeah i made that with my own hands just while Playing a game that i enjoy like it was weird to have this feeling of like proud pride at the end because you know being good at a game you know something people like and you’re going well and like etc etc etc but to have this like immediate Like art feeling almost of like i i made that that is my vision in my head coming true to reality and of course it was an ugly structure this is no uh you know like this is no underestimation of how bad i am at making things um but there was Something about that that made me fall in love with minecraft and that’s why despite the version of minecraft i played all these years ago being pretty objectively bad by today’s standards it had all the core things that made it wonderful and which made it addictive and honestly if you told me like yeah You’re gonna have to play this game for a year i think i could still have fun in that year i could still find myself projects to do for hours at a time and um i think that is the beauty of minecraft that is the reason why when it Came out on the xbox 360 i decided to play it and when it moved and when all these updates have come out i’ve always been uh excited and curious and because minecraft is a game that has a very deep meaning to me that first night was one Of the most addictive and uh i hope this video was equally addictive it must have been if you made it to the end or you fell asleep somewhere in there and you boosted my watch time either way um but i thank you very much watching it like It if you liked it share it if you really liked it whatever else youtubers saved in the videos but i just hope that you enjoyed because i’ll see you all next time trying to climb a cliff without placing any blocks it’s a surprisingly fun time climbing up the cliff Not using blocks i don’t know what to do but i don’t know how to stop okay that was my beautiful song that’s the one we’re gonna keep Video
