That’s definitely is a sentiment I share with the feeling of mystery it had. I remember me and my Sister would spend hours trying to summon Herobrine or summon the Wither before it was added to console edition. It’s something that’s hard to recapture now I feel like, especially because the game’s inner workings have been explained. That’s not to say modern Minecraft sucks, but I do miss those feelings of mystery with it.

i love these posts, this hits extra hard for me, i’ll never forget the day i saw some weird blocky game on a forum, downloaded it to show all my friends 'cause it just felt so open and infinite, i never knew to make a house, the mobs spawned and i’d die every night, but i could feel that something was out there in this blocky world, and all these years later there actually is so much more to this game, but it will never have that mystery potential that it did to me back then despite the fact that it is actually so much more expansive now, thank you for letting me remember that feel, appreciating you and the posts
