God, I imagine Notch in the begining developing Minecraft as a small project, interacting with fans, and not being overwhelmed by stress. A completely different era
I've actually never seen a video that dives this deep into the history of very early versions of minecraft. Sure we get a short cameo of indev or infdev during lore videos, but to dedicate an entire video to discussing a version and what led up to it is just amazing
3:44 the 'dripstone' could be a revision of the spikes, it's very similar in the idea, sharp, pointy, and added in the same update as the amethyst, (very similar to one of his other ideas.)
And, pigs turned into creepers during a coding accident, and people think creepers release spores on death and mushrooms use spores. Maybe the mushroom contaminates and corrupts the pig.
Damn, looking at this really makes me think of how creative Notch is. Like, taking his perspective and not thinking that these features are already in Minecraft, most new things he came up with were amazing new additions. Makes me wonder how Minecraft would have turned out if he continued running it instead of selling it to Microsoft.
Doc's designs were so cute. There is ONE way to get giant zombies to spawn naturally; You have to create a world in the 20w14∞ April Fools snapshot. I created about 30 worlds & giant zombies spawned in 2 of them.
I love playing this version. One downside is too many phantoms. Haven't seen a giant zombie yet. I found one floating islands world that has overworld similar terrain, no stone underground though. Found a lava pool next to a water pool so built a cobblestone generator.
The first time I saw a pic of Rana was in a digital manga book written by Dock many years ago. Didn't know he was associated with Minecraft's development, but rana's design is so recognisable it just brought the memory of that book back. Really cool tbh !!
When Notch first added chests I built a double chest and filled it full of a bunch of random crap like dirt and sand and planks. Then I broke it thinking I could carry it around with me and all the items spilled out on the ground. I remember staring at the screen for a moment wondering what had just happened.
I believe that the "isometric screenshot" feature was potentially added for the purpose of light/shadow map generation. Light and shadows in games are usually generated in a way where one of the first steps involves rendering the world from each light's perspective. The POV of a directional light (the only type of real dynamic light in Minecraft) is usually orthographic (straight lines with no perspective), so the "isometric screenshot" may have been a test of part of a way to implement dynamic light and shadows in Minecraft, which would definitely look a lot better than what we ended up with.
I would have loved to see what would’ve happened if Rana was kept as a character in some way, even if adapted into the current style of Minecraft. Her design’s just so fun and charming.
Omg exploring a mine shaft only to see a Steve starting at you in the distance dark creepy....only for it to run at you arms frailing and head moving all unnaturally...I'm surprised we don't have a mod with this
fun fact after the concept for hell notch wanted to name what is now known as the nether as "The slip" I was literally following the development of the game after the introduction of world types.
ALSO I remember playing the old Minecraft-"classic" era! I used to play The One's Lava Survival. Matter of fact; I think me and my brother were probably some of the first people to ACTUALLY test out Minecraft. Who knew it would eventually become the most popular video game of our time.
9:57 were test models if I remember right. Pretty sure they were ripped from another game so were never meant to be in a final version of Minecraft in any capacity.
3:55 This gives me the impression that Notch's original idea wasn't to make a world made out of scares. The cubes for an initial sketch, and he was possibly planning on improving the textures as well, but the scares ended up sticking.
Would be great to see a mod of sorts adding every feature Notch wanted for Minecraft but never added, specially if sayed mod was made for the last version he worked on.
6:00 Honestly, I like wolves better as the tameable, neutral mobs they are in current versions of Minecraft, being as IRL wolves are neutral. I hated how games or other forms of media had wolves attack the protagonist for no reason, especially with how said media affected their reputation in the past. Poor things were extinct in the wild at one point!

Their motions are jagged. Their bent shapes are unsettling. It's just...wrong. This is perhaps the darkest moment in Minecraft's development."

I'd love a mod that adds all the most interesting removed features back into the game. The obsidian axis, the brick pyramid, monoliths, gears, and of course the Farlands are what I'm talking about. Also maybe the 'tsunami mechanics' that made water so powerful.
Maybe they could add Rana back as an NPC that appears in small villages in the swamps. They’ll attack slimes and use slime blocks as currency. They can also obtain random items from the slimes they kill, allowing one to potentially trade slime blocks for those items. It’s usually mundane stuff like dirt, gravel, kelp, or the kinds of junk found in fishing, but sometimes it’s really valuable stuff like gold or even diamonds. Alternatively, they could be tribes that you befriend to defend your home from all hostiles. I just would really like Rana to not only be added back, but also fleshed out.
@@drsharkboy6568 Yes!! If I remember right, swamp villages were almost added, but never fully implemented into the game. I guess you're saying they count as a removed feature?
I've seen & read a few Minecraft documentaries, but this is the first time I'm hearing about Zombie Town. I played the infamous Herobrine snapshot, & it ended up being my favorite lost world generation. It's a pain in the ass to try to convert alpha & indev worlds.
What’s funny is that the original name for Minecraft was gonna be “Minecraft: order of the stone” and in Minecraft story mode there’s a group of hero’s named “the order of the stone”
10:01 Haha, seeing a bunch of Quake 3 characters distorted and glitching around a green pixelated hell is pretty funny. It really does feel like an indie prototype.
16:18 I would LOVE if someone made some sort of mod or texturepack to copy this aesthetic. Maybe with red water instead of lava. It'd be cool as hell :)

Hey, Retro. Question. Could you dive into the various creepy pastas? Yes, they’re all fake but some have very intriguing stories and it’d be cool if you could make a series where you review three different creepypastas in one video and talk about possible tactics to outsmart and survive these entities.
Honestly while I still play Minecraft today it doesn’t feel the same anymore. It’s lost it simplicity and “charm” sure they’ve added more stuff for the player to do but all that gets overwhelming at times.

I'd love a mod that adds all the most interesting removed features back into the game. The obsidian axis, the brick pyramid, monoliths, gears, and of course the Farlands are what I'm talking about. Also maybe the 'tsunami mechanics' that made water so powerful.
Maybe they could add Rana back as an NPC that appears in small villages in the swamps. They’ll attack slimes and use slime blocks as currency. They can also obtain random items from the slimes they kill, allowing one to potentially trade slime blocks for those items. It’s usually mundane stuff like dirt, gravel, kelp, or the kinds of junk found in fishing, but sometimes it’s really valuable stuff like gold or even diamonds. Alternatively, they could be tribes that you befriend to defend your home from all hostiles. I just would really like Rana to not only be added back, but also fleshed out.
@@drsharkboy6568 Yes!!
If I remember right, swamp villages were almost added, but never fully implemented into the game. I guess you're saying they count as a removed feature?
I think there was a mod for that
@@elcuy3544 Oh
@@drsharkboy6568 rana is cute but tbh it still doesn't fit in MC and it would just be weird. MC mobs have a certain style that rana doesnt fit
I've seen & read a few Minecraft documentaries, but this is the first time I'm hearing about Zombie Town.
I played the infamous Herobrine snapshot, & it ended up being my favorite lost world generation. It's a pain in the ass to try to convert alpha & indev worlds.
But the real question is....
*Does anybody remember being able to break doors in half on Minecraft PE?*
me
What’s funny is that the original name for Minecraft was gonna be “Minecraft: order of the stone” and in Minecraft story mode there’s a group of hero’s named “the order of the stone”
Can’t believe that Minecraft came from something so simple to right now with so many things to do
This is awesome. Your story tellings are worth listening
The infdev days are so Erie because of the fog
10:01 Haha, seeing a bunch of Quake 3 characters distorted and glitching around a green pixelated hell is pretty funny. It really does feel like an indie prototype.
16:18 I would LOVE if someone made some sort of mod or texturepack to copy this aesthetic. Maybe with red water instead of lava. It'd be cool as hell :)
alternate title: heres some nostalgia from when you were 9
1 was actualy 1 year old durring those times (2009) and ive known minecraft on 2014 and finaly got to play it on 2019. Man i could have been one of you guys who where born much earlier but still im happy of what i have today. Anyways have a nice day and God bless you.
This man can make bricks feel dramatic
dude bricks are dramatic what r u talking about
Hey, Retro. Question. Could you dive into the various creepy pastas? Yes, they’re all fake but some have very intriguing stories and it’d be cool if you could make a series where you review three different creepypastas in one video and talk about possible tactics to outsmart and survive these entities.
nice pfp
It’s an interesting idea…
I would LOVE this series
@@RetroGamingNow oh hell yeah
@@RetroGamingNow yeah i like the idea u should do it
Honestly while I still play Minecraft today it doesn’t feel the same anymore. It’s lost it simplicity and “charm” sure they’ve added more stuff for the player to do but all that gets overwhelming at times.
you can literally play any version you want, pissbaby
if you want to play the really old
quake 3 characters chasing you down in minecraft is the least scary thing i could think of
and paired up with the creepy music
that's amazing.
"some will never make it into the game such as spikes or pullies"
pistons and stalagmites: "we dont exist"
I’ve discovered this channel rn in this video, looks like something that would be worth watching
19:34 Somehoew made a brick pyramid scary. Violin music jumpscared me bro
19:24 The first Minecraft Theory, and Younger MatPat says, that will be my job one day. But hey, that’s just a theory!
Went from “look at this cool cube!” To “let’s add frogs”
And I thought I got into Minecraft early, wow there is so much that I missed.
Not really related to the topic but for some reason I prefer the old brick texture rather than the new.
My god the way he described the creepers made it sound like a horror movie smh
This guy is probably the only person who can make minecraft classic sinister
Imagine if you transport into an Alternate Universe and Minecraft is a Krunker-Ish FPS Capture-The-Flag game
Minecraft original title is referenced a lot in Minecraft: Story Mode, The Order of the Stone
cave game?
The Farlands appear too. Story Mode is also the only game afaik to refer to the Minecraft people as humans.
@@knightofiron I mean the name before that, Order of the Stone
@@cannedbeverage7687 Yup
I always thought that was a cool detail.
Great video, but some parts felt a bit melodramatic, like the beginning and describing the creepers.
It’s a tiny bit tongue-in-cheek
@@RetroGamingNow Ah ok
7:14 The very first instance of hardcore mode in Minecraft
I liked how he said in the beggining of the video that you remove blocks by pressing right click and place blocks by left click
10:15 I'll be honest, I watched so many weird Gmod videos that even if I tried to I couldn't be scared but instead find this completely silly lol
Im very confused (and amazed) how you manage to keep my attention for so long
"some blocks will never be added into the game, such as spikes" ever heard of dripstone?
@@talisdorman.9796 It does lol
@@yeilu_ 👄👁️👄.
@@talisdorman.9796 it does when you fall on it or dripstonefalls on yoh
Best mine craft lore UA-camr easily and also highly underrated
3:40 The spikes and pullys are basically the drip stone and (sticky)pistons.
i like how you make things scary when there actually kinda goofy and funny
