Any oldfags that played minecraft in like 2012? Please tell me your fond memories and post base pics if you have them (not my pic)

zoom zooommmmmmm. just joking. yeah, I had a lot of good memories in Minecraft too. me and my friends used to play vidya and hangout all the time. now, I just walk outside alone on the weekends. i just miss when people had time for each other. actually, that’s just me coping. maybe if I was cooler then people would ask me if they wanted to hangout

I did that with a friend, but there was not lightning.
The problem instead is that we had mobs spawn inside

I remember a bit after the Halloween update that added the nether, some modders added FLAOT as the aether, and over a decade later, kids are posting memes as though it's some sort of gaming urban legend, being disappointed that the glowstone portal doesn't work.

I remember making a nether castle in the over world with my irl friends.
Also, my dad helping me getting the game on the PS Store (at the time the game didn't hit retail yet and we never bought anything digitally). Till then, I was playing the demo version non stop lol.

Great times indeed

Using some industrial mod I once made a giant statue of a Creeper, painted and all.
Alas, I seem to have lost those screenshot.

I was more into "Millénaire mod", now that was a good mod and what Minecraft should have evolved into.

It felt like there was a lot to do and nothing to do at the same time. It was a weird experience. You didn't have all the min-max monster farm methods or whatever, you just modded/used tools if you wanted infinite resources.

Building a fortified village on a semi-vanilla server in a small community. Voting to get diamonds. Staying there long enough to become a mod.

around 2010-11 I got gifted the full game for coming second in a base building contest held on a forum I frequented (using the free browser version of 0.30)
then I played with the forum community for some time, never played multiplayer minecraft after that really
unfortunately no pictures have been saved from that time

I played the 360 edition with friends back when it first launched. Despite the worlds being so small on console at the time, we never had any problems with it. Our longest-running world had us find a cross-shaped lava pool near some mountains. We dubbed it "The Holy Land" and spent the next week building a giant castle in front of it, and converting the lava pool into a holy shrine. It turned into a whole walled village over time, with multiple small houses and shops for other people (friends of friends, randoms, etc.) who would join our world every now and then.

It was far away from the world spawn point, and we couldn't change it at the time, so we built a big, open two-story inn with beds there, with a gravel road leading all the way to the town to guide new people.

One of us used the king skin from the first texture pack, one was a wizard, and the rest of us were knights. At one point, some literal elementary school kid got into the world, and none of us knew whose friend they were, but they used a herobrine skin and kept trying to set fires and blow up the castle, so we had night patrols to watch for them, and shoot them on site. When we found their base, we stole all their stuff and then blew it up.
Another time, we gave ourselves three days to collect everything that we could from the surface, and on the fourth day we went into a cave, sealed off the entrance, and remained underground forever. Ended up making a big underground complex with indoor tree farms and breeding pens. Placed picrel on literally every flat surface and ended up making a "Cult of The Red Man" and killing anyone who joined our world and tried to get into "The Vault" afterwards.

I wish I had screenshots, but they were all lost years ago. I miss that old castle town...

I'm a newfag since I got here in 2006, but I played Minecraft back then. I started playing it in 2009, actually.
During one of my handfuls of visits to the MS Paint Adventure forums, I found a thread about it in the games forum. I spent the next hour or so playing creative with those guys, and then I bought the alpha for $13.
I proceeded to shill it to the rest of my friends in high school, and I eventually rented a server for us all to play together in from some guy on Something Awful.

I pretty much had my fill of the game by the time 1.8 was out, but I had a lot of fun in the meantime. My favorite update was the one that added the Nether.
I was pretty disappointed with how villagers ended up being implemented into the game. I remember Notch setting some pretty lofty expectations about how NPC goblins would be added that could trade with you and give you quests to fulfill. He said during development that his goal with Minecraft was to make it like a first-person version of Dwarf Fortress's adventure mode, and that sadly never really came to fruition.

>Any oldfags that played minecraft in like 2012?
I'd been playing for 2-3 years at this point
Here's house built on a city built on a server in the style of world edit at the time I have laying around, Owner would set up really cool biomes for people to make towny ecosystems, this was one of the biomes.

Various memories in no particular order.
>Friend made a server for our friend group. It would restart nightly at 6am. I learned that putting things in a chest but not closing the window would save them to the chest but your inventory wouldn't save until you closed the window. I used this to dupe diamonds. He banned me for "ruining the economy." I was the most active person playing so with me gone the server withered and died.
>WoW guild was bored in between expansions so we played minecraft and went on a reddit rp server to fuck with them. We found a creeper monster spawner, farmed thousands of gunpower, then blew up their city one night. We made a youtube video of it, but it got taken down.
>WoW guild had our own autism server where we basically just made big group projects. We made an iron ingot farmer by concentrating the villagers into camps and using water flows to direct all of the spawned iron golems into lava peeking over a ladder. My wife's account was the mule we used to keep those chunks from unloading (this was back when servers were buggy with things like friendly mobs despawning if the chunk unloaded). One day she went to play and found herself in the center of a concentration camp + golem killing machine and was confused and angry.

Huh I thought his goal was to sell out and eat himself to death

>>716254750
That sure isn't what he said at the time which made the M&M mansion that much more worrying!
Following the game's development and Mojang's founding was fun, at least.

I was like 14 playing on a small server (50ish pop) and somehow got into the administration team. I had OP on the server and constantly did dumb shit like some command that would drop non-damaging TNT over every player in the server. I think I was an admin for several months and I'm sure I barely did any moderating or administrating. Mostly just used world edit to lazily construct bases

>>716237818 (OP)
I remember playing the lite version actually, I only played the real one in 2013

>T. 2002 zoom zoom

as a kid I discovered minecraft thanks to it being parodied in Cartoon Networks MAD. this skit was made in 2011 long before the console/microsoft shit and kids like me probably didnt even know what minecraft was yet. it was ahead of its time.

I had a lava moat around my base and the fire update caused my entire base to burn down because of it.
