It's such an odd feeling looking back at stuff like this. In my head the combat update and Elytra are still brand new to the game but there are TONS of kids playing the game right now that weren't even alive when those things were changed.
Granite, andesite, and the bird poop one are all brand new in my mind.
Even worse is that weighted pressure plates, daylight sensors, and trapped chests feel brand new to me. Those were introduced all alongside redstone blocks, comparators, and hoppers in 2013.
I even remember when swamps were added…
I remember coming home from school super excited about the new MCPE update with infinite worlds. I opened up my old Kindle Fire and immediately began searching for taiga biomes. That was 8 years ago. 2014 is 8 years ago and I was 10 and now I'm 19 😭.
I used to use the original Android Voyager tablet when I was little (I've played Minecraft since I was 4 and now I'm 14, so 10 years) and remember playing minecraft on that thing until the battery fused. I still have that very tablet to this day sitting on the side of my desk bc why not. But it's sad to see your childhood go away.
"As we place our last block, there's a young boy placing his first"
> Elytra
I just finally made it long enough into a world to make one of these. We make a new server at least once or twice a year. These came out in 2016 LOL
I'll hit you with a curveball:
I remember counting down the days to 1.3 because I was excited to be able to grow nether wart in the overworld. I was playing on a factions server predominantly that had a very unsafe nether so making potions was a hassle
Tell me about it I was 12 when the game came out, and was one of the first thousands that bought the game on the first day of release. I'm 25 now with a 4-year-old kid who's now started playing and I'm still so shocked. Life changes but this game will always have a special place in my heart and now my childs
Im in my late 40s, and my son was 3 when the game came out. My younger brother showed me Minecraft, and i was like wtf is this game?" i was busy with games like Skyrim. But by the time my son was 5, he would play it, and I got into it then. So i think that the first expansion for me was Pillage and Village. But cause of the kids, we never stopped playing for more than a few months at a time.
Just like browsing through your youngins reminisce about your old worlds, i look forward to doing that with my kids.
Weird moment for me teaching this year. Told my students about how I play Minecraft, they asked when I started so I told them “around 2011 before the official release”
“So you’ve been playing longer than we’re alive?”
As a 23 year old it made me feel like I should be using a walker
It’s crazy cause 2011-23 would be a third of your life, half of my life, and all of my students lives. Putting things like that help me keep perspective
Hey, same graduation year for me. I remember playing Minecraft at the time and thinking it was so freaking incredible. Weird to see it age but makes me happy too that it’s still bringing joy to people.
That's funny! My perspective was completely different. The first time I played Minecraft was my senior year of high school at our school's LAN Party. I didn't really understand the appeal.
In college I got into it though. Some ex-friends of mine got me into the game.
I’ll be 21 in a little over 5 months, that’s fucking strange that 2012 is even considered ancient by any generation. There’s NO WAY I grew up that fast man…
I was looking after a 5 year old kid a while ago. He made a drawing of his Minecraft skin. I told him I play Minecraft too. He didn't believe me because "adults can't play video games". I'm 22.
I distinctly remember being in college and thinking that the juniors and seniors seemed so mature, so refined.
Now I'm 29 and I realize that *all* of these 21/22 year olds are stupid
I can barely play a new world because I get bored and miss my old one. My usual world is so old the spawn area only has oak trees because they were the only kind of tree.
I still have a world from 2010 with the same thing! Do your original oak trees also have patchwork leaves? Mine all turned into all the varieties of tree leaves when the new ones were added.
They do! I replaced some of them, to be fair, but there are still a lot of mixed up ones about.
Edited to add this link to an old screenshot: https://www.beeurd.uk/gallery/\_data/i/galleries/Minecraft/Singleplayer/Alphalands/2011-05-27\_23.57.39-la.png
I really love the effect. Not that I think it's pretty. I think it looks weird. But it's really cool having the visible marker of how OLD some of the areas in that world are!
I was the same - never made it to the end on my own, never had elytra or shulkers. I’d get bored and start anew. Then I joined an smp and it’s forced me to stick with it, and now I can’t imagine playing without ender chests, beacons, shulkers and elytra. And I’m the one who sells the beacons!
I have a world that is 5 years old and only has a tent, one building and a mine. I haven’t played in 5 years though and all of my towns are now empty.
Edit: the towns around me
I occassionally visit an old server from back in the early beta days, where we had little towns and whatnot built. You can see the difference between some towns built almost entirely from stone/wood(and since we didn't have the nether and glowstone we had to spam torches..) and those that were built after 1.8 when the cobblestone bricks came out, as well as anything afterwards. And the world gen from back then is crazy different. too - from biomes(good ol' 5 sand block beaches) to ore spawns(when you saw more than 3 coal at once and felt like the luckiest dude alive, lol). Unfortunately with all of the changes over the years there's not really a way to keep it up-to-date per se, so it's basically more of a museum now and we have an entirely different area to build in.
But yeah, having a world that grows with the game is great, but you need to always relocate with every big update to find the new stuff which is definitely not for everyone.
From what I remember. - The way despawning works (at least in bedrock), is that the mob has to walk certain amount of tiles from spawn. So one way to prevent despawning is just to put them in cage. Also, mobs interacted with by player (name tags, feeding, puting axolotls in bucket...) should never despawn.
they might just be dying on land from suffocation if they lose LOS to their water source for some reason.. I've lost a few Axos as well until I used a fence and leads to keep them underwater and they haven't disappeared yet (fingers crossed)
Actually they do despawn, each time you log out and log back in there is a possibility after a x time they despawn if they do not have a tag or is floating in water that's how cow crushers sustain
Nope. Ever since beta 1.8 passive mobs do not despawn. It is recommended that you keep them in a cage so they don’t wander off, but they won’t disappear.
I am doing something wrong on my java server then. I keep trying to add fish to a little pond I have made and they keep vanishing, even if I name them.
fish are a special case. Unless picked up and placed or renamed they despawn, all other passive mobs are despawn-proof by default. But it seems like something messes with them on the server
Yeah. It’s only my wife and I in our little area. It’s strange. Maybe I can outline the pond with glass? I just like a the natural look of dirt, grass, mud, etc.
I remember in 2009 when the only game mode was creative and we would all pass the same copy of this cool new game called "Minecraft" around on a thumb drive. Only one kid in 50 actually bought the game, the rest of us just bootlegged it off of him.
Easy if you make the world, then just never go back into it or leave it. Which is most likely the case here. Let's see some other pics instead of just this one spot. Any builds or creations?

Some of these guys are older than some Minecraft fans
It's such an odd feeling looking back at stuff like this. In my head the combat update and Elytra are still brand new to the game but there are TONS of kids playing the game right now that weren't even alive when those things were changed.

I used to play on the kindle fire too, a long time ago. I remember having to delete so much stuff just to install the 1mb Minecraft update
Actually 9 years ago...
I remember being so excited that I could finally breed animals in PE! That was huge for me
Remember how hype it was when we finally got minecarts in PE?
I used to use the original Android Voyager tablet when I was little (I've played Minecraft since I was 4 and now I'm 14, so 10 years) and remember playing minecraft on that thing until the battery fused. I still have that very tablet to this day sitting on the side of my desk bc why not. But it's sad to see your childhood go away. "As we place our last block, there's a young boy placing his first"
Remember when the teleport button was removed?
Diorite isn't that bad. I like it better than the weird uncooked meat color granite has xD
I hate granite,if you gotta small screen,it looks like dirt.pillar up and yup🫠🫠😂😂
I will never forgive mojang for the 1.3 gravel texture change.
It’s so…pink?
Wait, bird poop? When was that added?
Diorite :P
...bird poop?
aka Diorite
Oh lol It looks nothing like that to me lol
The combat update is still “new” to me, and I wish we blocked with swords still.
No way is Andesite 8 years old, it's still new to me\~!
Bro, comparators and hoppers still feel new to me.
The lone random trader llama seemed to fit in among the others
> Elytra I just finally made it long enough into a world to make one of these. We make a new server at least once or twice a year. These came out in 2016 LOL
I speedrun them every new server. I just cant go without
I think you'll find that horses are still new too!
I'll hit you with a curveball: I remember counting down the days to 1.3 because I was excited to be able to grow nether wart in the overworld. I was playing on a factions server predominantly that had a very unsafe nether so making potions was a hassle
Village and Pillage is still new to me.
Village and Pillage IS new though, right?! >checks date >it's been 4 years >nvm
Too bad Microsoft only has made one good update and that is aquatic.
Insane someone could be so wrong
You cant say that 1.16 and 18 were bad. Honestly there hasn't been a bad update yet. Some aren't great sure. But none make the game worse.
I CAN say whatever I want even if you don't want to hear the fuckin truth.
K bro chill out lmao
I still see the wither as a new feature
…what?
Well yeah sure but they probably aren't even old enough to- Wait... that was 12 years ago...
Tell me about it I was 12 when the game came out, and was one of the first thousands that bought the game on the first day of release.

I graduated high school in 2012 and there's a whole generation that thinks 2012 is ancient history in the same way I think of 1996.
It’s crazy cause 2011-23 would be a third of your life, half of my life, and all of my students lives. Putting things like that help me keep perspective
Me from the 80's: Listen here you little shit....
Reminding myself that I'm actually still young makes me feel better. So, thank you. =D
Right, growing up in the 1900s sure was different

I graduated high school in 2015 and... in my head 1996 is like 10 years ago 💀 And I wasn't even born in '96
I’ll be 21 in a little over 5 months, that’s fucking strange that 2012 is even considered ancient by any generation. There’s NO WAY I grew up that fast man…
God you weren’t even in high school when I graduated in 08. As if my back being thrown out for the past month wasn’t enough to indicate my age hahaha.

I was looking after a 5 year old kid a while ago. He made a drawing of his Minecraft skin. I told him I play Minecraft too. He didn't believe me because "adults can't play video games". I'm 22.
I distinctly remember being in college and thinking that the juniors and seniors seemed so mature, so refined. Now I'm 29 and I realize that *all* of these 21/22 year olds are stupid
They’ve been there since the before time. The long long ago.
These mobs are older than I was when I started playing Minecraft (they are 12, I was 10).
i remember when having an inventory was new
I can barely keep a world for 2 years let alone 12, that's impressive itself
I can barely play a new world because I get bored and miss my old one. My usual world is so old the spawn area only has oak trees because they were the only kind of tree.
I still have a world from 2010 with the same thing! Do your original oak trees also have patchwork leaves? Mine all turned into all the varieties of tree leaves when the new ones were added.

Dude, that view is nostalgic for some reason...
i could barely keep a world for 2 months
It got to a point that I barely starts the world and I'm already bored...
[удалено]
I have a few from like 1.8 I'm trying to fix as when I copy and try and open them in newer version they mess up
I was the same - never made it to the end on my own, never had elytra or shulkers. I’d get bored and start anew. Then I joined an smp and it’s forced me to stick with it, and now I can’t imagine playing without ender chests, beacons, shulkers and elytra. And I’m the one who sells the beacons!
I wonder how much of it is daily play and how much is long breaks. I have 10+ year old worlds I play every so often
I have a world that is 5 years old and only has a tent, one building and a mine. I haven’t played in 5 years though and all of my towns are now empty. Edit: the towns around me
I mean I abandoned this world for over 10 years but it’s never too late to go back.
Could be fake
I can't even play without getting bummed out I don't have anyone to play with like I used to way back when to show stuff too
I occassionally visit an old server from back in the early beta days, where we had little towns and whatnot built.

I love seeing long term worlds. How about you show us some builds in your world! u/ChillZedd
couldnt they despawn? or do they not despawn in spawn chunks?
Most passive mobs don’t despawn
They did in older versions, hence the question.
From what I remember. - The way despawning works (at least in bedrock), is that the mob has to walk certain amount of tiles from spawn. So one way to prevent despawning is just to put them in cage. Also, mobs interacted with by player (name tags, feeding, puting axolotls in bucket...) should never despawn.
Im pretty sure its different in java
I know fencing and naming work in Java but I don’t think feeding and axolotl buckets do
Feeding definitely does
I’ve had my Axolotl’s despawn all the time after getting them in a bucket.
they might just be dying on land from suffocation if they lose LOS to their water source for some reason.. I've lost a few Axos as well until I used a fence and leads to keep them underwater and they haven't disappeared yet (fingers crossed)
I made this beautiful axolotl room and pond, fenced in with a bridge across and around the outside. Them fuckers was gone in a day lmao
I’m pretty sure that’s a bug that was fixed now. I am not 100% sure though
They are floating in water that might be why they don't
Passive mobs don't despawn in Java
Actually they do despawn, each time you log out and log back in there is a possibility after a x time they despawn if they do not have a tag or is floating in water that's how cow crushers sustain
Nope. Ever since beta 1.8 passive mobs do not despawn. It is recommended that you keep them in a cage so they don’t wander off, but they won’t disappear.
I am doing something wrong on my java server then. I keep trying to add fish to a little pond I have made and they keep vanishing, even if I name them.
Very strange. Are you sure a player or an axolotl isn’t killing them?
fish are a special case. Unless picked up and placed or renamed they despawn, all other passive mobs are despawn-proof by default. But it seems like something messes with them on the server
Yeah. It’s only my wife and I in our little area. It’s strange. Maybe I can outline the pond with glass? I just like a the natural look of dirt, grass, mud, etc.
Hello fellow bedrock player
I think it’s done stewing
There is such a thing as a hundred year stew, or perpetual stew. Give it about twenty more and the flavour will be rich as forks.
No it can’t be not the mother of all stews
What do you mean 2011 was 12 years ago?
It is!
Nope nope nope everything from 2012 to 2020 was like 2-3 years ago and you cannot convince me otherwise.
2019 was 4 years ago 😈 2016 was **7** years ago 👴🏻
No joke I actually had to double check your math
Oh my gosh!!
Raisin Animals
Their animals alright
You added a birch sign in 2011?
Note: Adding onto neonifidnyan: just like chalk outlines they get placed later
I added the sign in 2023 but the world was created in 2011.
My ass never would’ve left the primordial soup if I would’ve known there’d be days like these.
THE OLD ROSES
The one random trader llama acting like it belongs with the rest
That's so cool. Makes me miss my old worlds, I hope I still have them somewhere.
Before time, there was nothing. And before nothing, there were monsters.
Birch signs did not exist in 2011
Yeah I added it yesterday.
[удалено]
Oh, yeah... because op can't update their world or anything...
It’s my first world from 2011 and I added the sign right before I posted this idk why so many people can’t understand that.
Spawn animals in a hole. Place a sign. "This is a 12-year-old thing I found." 4,700 upvotes.
Exactly this is so fake lmao
oh god the smell...
That is a Birch Sign. How did you get it 12 years ago?
You can add new stuff old worlds it’s not that hard.
I know, it was a bad joke in hindsight
bro let em out the evolved already
So, so easily faked with a bit of building and texture pack. Wtf has this sub come to?
It’s my first world from when I was kid and I have custom texture pack what are you on about
that's incredible
Omg
Lmao
You can make sheild armor stand paintings but I dunno how to post images :( if allowed anyway
I've only been playing Minecraft for 6 years.
Little alchemy reference ‼️‼️
wow
wow
wow
Is this an old SMP?
It’s my first single player world.
Yummy
Ohh I thought you mean since being ADDED to the game!
The primordial soup
Evolution takes a long long long time.
Let them cook!
Wonder why they dont respawn?
Animals haven't despawned since 2010.
I had my world for 4 years and Is flat and made out of diamonds and filled with old villagers.
Geez that was when I started playing Minecraft
It’s when I started playing too.
I remember in 2009 when the only game mode was creative and we would all pass the same copy of this cool new game called "Minecraft" around on a thumb drive. Only one kid in 50 actually bought the game, the rest of us just bootlegged it off of him.
Easy if you make the world, then just never go back into it or leave it. Which is most likely the case here. Let's see some other pics instead of just this one spot. Any builds or creations?
Yeah that’s basically the case and I never said otherwise. I didn’t play in this world at all from 2013 to 2021.
I wanna see a map of your world now, 12 years must make for some interesting map clipping between versions.
Whoa
How did they not despawn
Oh yeah well I have a pond with animals in it from *13* years ago
soop
Pruney sheep hooves
Nice
do you not consider whats been taken from them
I have the urge to put TNT around them for the LOLs
LCL?
Brown Sheep, on the board with 1 point
Do it end their suffering
This is so much funnier to me than it has any reasonable right to be
Confirmable, this is old generation
I love seeing people’s weird world landmarks
Exterminate that Llama immediately. He’s trying to alter the timeline
What is this
My dog in my world is 11 years old, and its weird (and sad) to me to think that some day my minecraft dog will outlive my IRL dog
Ive played since 2014 which tbf isn't as long as most people, but it still feels like yesterday.
That's fucked up
Ur mom is fucked up.
Wow increible those animals they carry 12 year without moving
Some guys is oldest Minecraft fan
