Honestly if you were a kid who bought these books at the book fair, these were a pretty good way to both start reading, and learn how to play minecraft in the days before fan wikis were everywhere (and even if they were, it was likely you were going to get 16 viruses from them lol). I remember these books, and a lot of the tips in them were genuinely helpful, like getting a compass and clock to help find your way
These books capitalize on the energy of the early Minecraft era, when we weren't sure what was in the game and just figured it out. Minecraft wiki down for some reason, people mixing mod crafting recipes with real ones, it felt like everyone who knew their shit could write a strategy guide on the game. But everyone's would be different, not everyone knew everything yet. Anyone remember how the first minecraft guide smelled? I saved up money to preorder the book with my Scholastic Book Fair school, got it in a walmart bag for some reason lmao and it smelled weird, super hype but still not certain why it smelled so unique
It depends on the type of editing and the type of UA-camr. Less edited survival videos are more likely to have the music on. If the editing is more present then UA-camrs will probably not have their music on, because they are going to put in thier own music anyway. When you look at minigame UA-camrs they usually use music to set the mood in editing so, random Minecraft music would really mess that up.
I used these books to actually play in survival 😂😂😅 back when they came out. I always had to use the combat book to see how to make every potion. I know how to build so I dont need the building book 😎😎😎😎😎😏
My family had all of them and I loved them! Heck little me couldn’t even read but she loved looking through them and she loved the pictures. I remember looking at the potions page and thinking People memorized this?!
I remember buying this set from the Scholastic Book Fair back when I was in 6th grade! I think I enjoyed looking over the books more than playing the actual game. Nice video!
Yeah I never really played survival but I LOVED the builder's handbook. Gonna be honest I'm not even sure if I actually built anything out of it but I read it all the time lol
Same! I got them in first grade and would get terrified at the pictures of the mobs. Nowadays I’m the kind of person who sucks at the game but knows a lot about how to play it.
Bro the Xbox 360 was and still is goated. Introduced me to almost every major gaming genre, and got me into Minecraft. Great times, even today with cross play and mods. THE BABY PIG 3:10 Edit - 3:00 I mean. Dam 🦫 Edit #2 - 2:57 I mean. Dam 🦫 🦫
You know, I was thinking to myself "did anyone ever actually seriously use these books aside from just fun little experiments like these?" until I realized that I had been doing the farming from the handbook for years until I learned of the modern, more efficient way. On top of that, I had also been using the "dig in a hill" trick if I hadn't built a house yet. It's awesome to see things like this.
I remember these books. My parents agreed to buy them for me when we saw them in a shop, but they forgot. I took them and walked out the store, as I didn’t know what robbery was at the time. My mum practically had a panic attack when she discovered what I’d done.
A lot of minecraft channels can just seem like the lowest common denominator of mass produced content, this channel seems like a really refreshing break in that. Keep up the good work!
The Redstone one was actually half decent for its time, and taught me a LOT about basic circuits as a kid. I think it was partially authored by CubeHamster (I could be fully wrong there, someone correct me if so), so it was actually genuinely helpful. I don't think it explained stuff like BUD Switches, or QuasiConnectivity. It's also obviously out of date with the huge additions of the observer and target block.
I remember wanting those back in 2014/15/16 and i just never got my mum to buy them for me, but all in all they hold up really good almost 10 years later!
I had (and I believe I still might have it in here somewhere!) the construction handbook. The builds included in the book were actually pretty interesting, but are of course now dated due to the addition of many new blocks. The instructions however were... not exhaustive, to say the least, so you mostly had to use the given picture for reference. I distinctly remember how one build used two anvils for a cooking grill. Very creative!
i really like your narration! this video was a really great run down memory lane! i remember for my 10th birthday my mom got me the box set of the guides (i still have them in my room!)
these books were my childhood. i tried everything in all of them, but the only practical one was the TNT tree trap. also the same genshin impact ad kept playing over this video
I actually still have these books on my desk, I pull them out from time to time when I am playing the ol’MC. Because I keep forgetting how to make piston doors XD.
Back when those Minecraft first released those books those books sold out fast and only one kid in our class had all 4 of them we thought he was a god (we were in third grade)
all i have to say about this video is that 1. i really like your voice and the way you speak. Its very relaxing and this video was great to watch before I went to bed. 2. I found this video by chance and its really nostalgic, I used to use thoose handbooks to play minecraft as a kid on my ps3, the good ol days
Hey. If 1 of your eye's of ender broke in 11:16, How come you magically clipped in 11:30 to have the prefect amount of eyes? Maybe you could've gone back to the nether but the fact that no durability changed is another reason that you just got it from creative. I also noticed other off things such has the tree in the desert But nevertheless it was still a good video
The books had some good advice. I like that It stated to make a shelter on your first night and get a bed. These are crucial things to do for people new to Minecraft.
My dad used my brother's handbooks on our ps3 when he did his world. He planned to dig out underneath the entire world, and when we got more controllers, we helped him
I still have these books, thanks for making me pick it up again! They are so nostalgic, you missed some minor tasks but i'll let it slide heh. Great video.
I was jelous of my best friend who had these books so much, even tho i didnt even have minecraft back then. Just whipping one of them out in class was a top tier flex
little tidbits from this book still stick with me today when im playing mc. even if they're outdated, the little nuggets of weird advice mojang put in these books are solidified in my brain
I remember having all 4 books when I was younger, looking back it feels like the stones for the infinity gauntlet. I'm sad I can only find one of them to this day but man those books bring in the feels
if you ever feel useless, remember that last glass window
Damn thanks man
I'm not the glass pane btu the stone right in front of it lol

It has to be something about the texture of those pages
I don't remember them smelling weird, but then again I didn't preorder them, I believe I got them as a birthday present
I loved how it smelled. The smell is still super nostalgic for me.
These werent even official books
i smelled them alot to :) miss those days to
I appreciate that you play with the music on. Most youtubers don't bother, but I think it adds so much to the atmosphere
It depends on the type of editing and the type of UA-camr. Less edited survival videos are more likely to have the music on.

Not sure why, but I sometimes prefer videos that are barely edited.. and this video is perfect
I was just about to comment that
this video is so chill, with no loud music or abnoxious colourfull subtitles
I wouldn't classify his content as barely edited, but I highly recommend Kayakasaurus :D it's got a VERY similar vibe
Yeah I like watching people that don’t have the UA-camr accent

I didn’t know the devs intended you to use ladder for mining. That’s so strange considering they always tell you not to dig straight down
I think they intended for the players to build a two-by-one drop with a ladder on one side
There are plenty of ways to use ladders for mining without digging straight down.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the community come up with "never dig straight down?"
It feels so.... enjoyable. I miss those times when I was playing Minecraft Xbox 360 and doing everything the guidebooks told me
Bro the Xbox 360 was and still is goated. Introduced me to almost every major gaming genre, and got me into Minecraft. Great times, even today with cross play and mods. THE BABY PIG 3:10

I love the suppressed anger but calmness through most of the video. I loved these books, I’ve got all 4 and all of the new Minecraft Guides
Those books really sound like something ChatGPT would make.
they actually made chatgpt in 2014 but after reading the books they decided "this is shit" and they ditched it until open AI found it
YOU DARE INSULT THE SACRED TEXTS

I was wondering what that word was
The nostalgia hits hard with this one. I have all the four books, so I might as well try it out myself

Why i gave him one

Agreed
There’s something special about Minecraft guidebooks to me. It’s just nostalgia, but I love reading about a game I know so much about.
This was such a calm and soothing video, Its nice to see people who dont constantly scream, so I appreciate that👍✨
The OG minecraft guide books are basically the infinity stones of minecraft
This guy is kind of like Bob Ross if Bob Ross was bad at Minecraft instead of good at painting
Ooof 💀
I love the tranquility that this guy manages, it makes me very peaceful to see him

This vid reminded me that the ender dragon fight is a really good video game boss if you aren’t ripping it in half with beds
I used to have the construction handbook. I used one of the tutorials in there to make a large house with a wrap-around balcony
Dude the part where it told you to build the beacon to find your home because of what PaulSoares Jr did feels very 2013
I love how relaxing your voice is
I was in a pissy mood today but the your calm voice for this video hella made me feel better 😭
I remember going to the book fair and getting them and looking at the pages with screenshots of the old Minecraft is just nostalgic
I bought these books for my sister when they came out as a box set. She really loved them. I miss her so much.
when i was a kid, i would collect these books religiously at the school book fair. ah, the memories
SAMEEEE
Your voice is soothing, gives the video a more chill vibe 😊
“Nawright” is my new favorite way to say “alright”

Holy bro you just brought make the memory of me getting these at the book fair when I was in 2nd grade shits crazy
Those are the sacred text they hold the knowledge of a thousand years
this gave me a weird sense of comfort and nostalgia
Such a good video! The way you sounded so calm after all your Nether deaths 😭 I would’ve lost it tbh
these books were my childhood. i tried everything in all of them, but the only practical one was the TNT tree trap. also the same genshin impact ad kept playing over this video
Genshin Impact is a multiplayer MMRPG focused on open world exploration and team combat..
Or something like that
Bro is the definition of “I have no enemies “
calmest voice when someone almost dies 10/10 video
9:30 to 10:10 just shows how annoying the new nether is.
true, but at least my eyes can take a rest from that old netherrack texture 💀
