I had another day where i just kind of Wanted to take things easy, so i booted up minecraft Wii U edition after discovering i had a ROM backup on my external SSD. So i fired it up in Cemu along with the latest version and booted into a survival world how i would when i was younger. Easy mode, bonus chest, and the Gamma cranked way up to max. If i really wanted to be true to when i was younger i would have played Xbox 360 edition and played a older version, but sadly none of those were accessible to me, so i played with what i had on hand.
I ended up building this cozy little shack to live in, then i went on the hunt for sheep and found my 3 victims. Returning home with the wool in hand i got nice nights rest in my bed. Not before watching the sunset though.
After that i went to harvest some cobblestone and gave my house a nice little cobble trim:
It was by this point i realized i had committed the terrible crime of forgetting to open my map. So i did that
By this point it started getting late for me, so i decided i wanted to get some iron before logging off. I set off towards the hills, I entered my first cave and ran into my first mob:
It blew up in my face, but shortly after i managed to return home with my iron, before logging off.

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

My friend kept pestering me to try the game in 2009. The first thing I did in Alpha was die in overworld lava.

I remember my first death vividly. I glitched out and lost my diamond sword after getting shoved into lava by a zombie while mining

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.
