Yeah, it is possible I believe but WOW it is a process. Somebody should really make a streamlined world conversion tool, since right now you have to go through like 5-10 stages of conversion to play in modern versions
you could convert it but everything would problaby look like stone, cave game pre-classic into pre-classic breaks the world alredy, because notch changed the way textures and "block ids" worked
This is one of the greatest things to happen in minecraft gaming history! These people deserve recognition for the work they have done! We should have a new group of archeologists called "Gameologists"
Awesome documentation Aidan! Love these new kind of video's & great edits! Also appreciate the text showing longer now (which makes it better readable 😃) 10/10
Fun fact: That world may look like it's made of grass and cobble, but if you load that world in a later pre-classic version, you'll see that it's all stone. In early pre-classic versions, every solid block in the game would render as cobblestone, unless it was in one layer at the surface of the world, in which case it would be grass. You couldn't choose between grass and cobble, it was determined by the Y-level. Once more block types were added in the a later update, the block id used for cobble/grass in the older versions became stone.
The way you described the parts of the world at the end reminded me of my first few days of playing Minecraft way back when you could play the demo on the website. Imagination carried a lot of what little I had done in the time limit, where a few missing leaves in a tree cluster was a treehouse and a small underground tunnel was a "secret entrance" inside.
@@ProdRapidNah, same title as before. I'm confused too lol, like it is the first world, that's not bait or anything. Maybe because this was found a few months back? (took me a while to finish the video)
Hey there, love the video! It's honestly pretty incredible how Ellen still had that world file after all these years. I noticed that at 2:52 you used footage from one of my videos called "Looking at the Minecraft Source Code from 2009! (UHD)". I nearly fell off my chair when I realized it was mine, since I never expected that video to gain any traction or get noticed by anyone! With that being said, I would really appreciate it if you credited me with a link to my channel or the video itself in the description. Thanks in advance and again, great vid man :)
Yeah absolutely man! Sorry I haven't already - it is basically impossible to keep track of all my sources since there's like 100+ every video lol. Should be good now in the description :)
I really wonder if the data could be used to find missing jars for versions like 0.0.3a (I came across Hacker on a Hypixel parkour house a few days ago which I thought was fun)
Well world data is different from version data, so we probably wouldn't get a lot of mileage on that end. (I rammed my knee into the wall the other day, which hurt.)
@@cakecheese2895 considering ez had this old world still around, why wouldn't she casually have some lost versions aswell (I ate chocolate chip cookies today)
@@bettercalldelta That's fair. The most reliable way to get missing versions is for someone who downloaded it back then to make it public. (I ate food earlier, which was something)
Better launcher: multi-mc, its compatible with mac os and linux, can run every version of minecraft, and makes mod installation easier then making a phone call, and extra bonus: doesnt look sketchy as all hell, unlike betacraft there
the floor is missing because at that time you couldnt choose what you want to place so when you placed a block in the grass layer it would automatically be a grass block
I remember playing when you had to have a server and client to play. There was like 8 different blocks to build with, flat land and no mobs. Ppl made like giant earths and all kinds of stuff. All there really was to do was build pixel art but it was still pretty cool.
Man, hard to believe it all went from this to games like Hytale being developed.. went from so simple to complex- I wonder what games are super popular 50 years from now.. but we who grew up playing Minecraft 2011-2017 experienced something special
it would've been cool if this was one of the structures we ended up getting in the released version of the game.. don't get me wrong, the ones we got now are fine, but lore-wise it would've been cooler if they were based on old builds like these
i remember one of my first worlds i made a brick house and with a brown bed, i got a dog to live with, and placed a jukebox to play chirp while i play. i logged off minecraft one day, and forgot about it, unfortunately. later, like in february 2024, minecraft was becoming dead weight in my phone so i uninstalled it, forgetting i had a dog that was waiting for me there. i hope doggy found a new owner now, since i cant reload my worlds after uninstalling them, minecraft says i need a specific folder i dont know where it is in my phone
I’m more curious if you tried to run that world in the newest version of Minecraft, and go to new unloaded chunks. What would happen? Would the world generation be crazy, file corruption?
Well done! The first map has been found! Its even awesome that people made it so we can play it as well. The MC community always surprises me in a good way.

Rd actually stands for rubydung notch’s old game. Minecraft (cave game) was originally meant to be a test for rubydung stuff
pretty cool
To be more precise, it stands for Ruby Dungeon. Notch had planned to make his own 3D tile-based version of Dwarf Fortress. That idea went away when he found his testers really enjoying the 3D creative building aspects
Pretty interesting.
That explains a lot.
No, it was originally mean’t to be a clone of infiniminer

If you gave me 5 years I would've never guessed to make such a big discovery by messaging notch's ex-wife.
Didn't expect the world to look as good as it did knowing it was the first world ever.
damn the betacraft launcher is really a throwback to the old launcher from before 2017

MCBYT makes better entertaining documentaries than actual businesses.

6:43 manmade like humankind is not sex oriented word so you don't need womanmade XD
Yeah, man as in species instead.
This is for real impressive how we managed to find a map that was supposed to be deleted back in 2009 :0

I’ve created my own tech demo featuring a block character, trees and a randomly generated world.

the floor is missing because at that time you couldnt choose what you want to place so when you placed a block in the grass layer it would automatically be a grass block
Damn! I was wondering when another discovery of a seed of something OG finally came into play, and this was amazing!
The fact that I was 2 months old when minecraft was released is kinda fun to thing about.
fr. i wasn't even in kindergarten
Loving the video, BUT HOLY CRAP MACHINE GIRL?!?!? YOU GOT GOOD MUSIC TASTE MY MAN
I wanna see a "Transforming minecraft's first house" video.
from the last King of Babylon to this, archeology updated many.
Something tells me the screenshot of Steve chilling in his house with the other Steve in the back is what inspired Herobrine.

4:30 this part is just too funny
3:51 I made that bridge!! :3
I forgot Minecraft is already 14 years old. It’s almost 15, which was the old definition of a retro video game.
No way, I'm recreating that house in my world like some ancient ruins
ITS ALWAYS A GOOD DAY WHEN THIS MF UPLOADS
YEAAAA it's been too LONG
I’d be curious to see what the first Adventure map is. I feel like it might not even exist anymore, but it’s just food for thought.
Man, hard to believe it all went from this to games like Hytale being developed.. went from so simple to complex-
I wonder what games are super popular 50 years from now..
but we who grew up playing Minecraft 2011-2017 experienced something special
There's something about this map that makes it feel like a garry's mod mc map
Yeah I agree, it reminds me of a valve map like dust on cs:go or something
That's so cool! Great video!
