Probably the most amusing for me was the glass popcorn machine, this was _very early_ alpha before even furnaces were added (imagine that, late joiners). The only way to make certain items was to burn it with flint&steel or throw it in lava, which back then didn't destroy most items. The only way to make glass was to burn sand directly, leading to an amusing popcorn effect when being thrown into lava. There is a really old video called "Minecraft Popcorn Smelting" that still shows it. Also back in those days, Minecraft had like a "try before you buy" browser version, running 0.30 alpha on the Minecraft website. But the best quality of life feature was when they _finally_ added beds in Beta 1.3. Before that nights were basically just a chore to get through if you didn't spend it mining.

After being on the world for quite a while I had generated a chunk with a single lava source block making a lava fall down the side of a mountain. This I didn't notice at the time. One day I was cooking food and all of the sudden there is a wild fire coming over the hill on the opposite side of the valley from my house. It swept through the valley and kept going leaving random unburned wood blocks floating everywhere.

It's probably one of the neatest moves they've ever made I remember having to go on a Minecraft Forums thread that archived older Minecraft.jar files to go back, it didn't have nearly as many versions since some were lost to time. Thankfully, Mojang still had them

man i remember when it has a huge deal when minecraft pocket edition got infinite worlds. damn near every one in my middle school was talking about it. i remember pretty much everything in this list though, I feel old now.

I still remember around 2012-2015 I had a kindle with Minecraft PE modded. I had so many memories playing while on a flight or on a long road trip. I also remember Minecraft PE lite.

started out in beta 1.6 in 2011, and that nostalgia already hits hard. playing since alpha must be on a whole another level :o

Love that a channel exists dedicated to minecraft alpha

Wow as a Minecraft PE player since the early alpha versions the cyan rose is a huge throwback, completely forgot it was there. I remember the big things like the Nether Reactor and old world borders but that’s cool

I was there when the Enderman was added to Pocket edition, so some of these old features are somewhat familiar. (For context, this was back when their eyes were still green and they had smoke effects)

What a nostalgic video, damn - I remember playing minecraft in my secondary school’s library in 2009/2010. Crazy how far the game has come since.

This brought me down memory lane, remember watching my buddy who has since passed play alpha version of minecraft. Fond memories, miss you buddy hope your resting peacefully ❤😢

I still have habits from those old builds... i call sugar cane reeds, i shift over crops... old habits die hard, i guess

I stil got my very first world I created in 2010 and a ton of 0.30 worlds including custom written multiplayer server software with "sort of" water physics from 2009. The problem with the survival world is that it's completely broken. Every 10 blocks there is a new biome, the leaves problem is completely out of hand, signs and chests are empty and since the level generator code changed 100 times through the updates I got farlands right next to my house. I still remember going to Notch's blog almost every day to find out what cool stuff he added to the game, especially those secret friday updates :)
