i picked it up on launch and was one of the few people the enjoyed it. after all the updates though i will say it is far better. I’m doing a Rifleman build and trying to do my first Scorch beast (after trying at my first attempt a few years ago solo and failing at the silo)
I fucking love create to the point when me and some friends put together a server, create is the first thing I go for. It’s cool until like the next day where I have an iron farm setup and they’re still trying to get enough for an armor set.
I got Minecraft on the Xbox right around TU 3/4 (probably TU 3 since I believe TU 4 added horses and those were only added after I started playing). I would play almost daily with my Younger Sister until we both ended growing apart. The game really has grown a lot. Sometimes I can’t tell if something is a mod or vanilla when I see a post online.
Some of the oldest memories I have of Minecraft are Me and my Sister spent our entire summer looking for Herobrine (we did totems, rituals, even Herobrine “seeds”), we built this really cool multi story house for us to live in (and then I promptly evicted her after she stole one of my cats), then we compromised and built a brick house for her in a swamp.
Those early memories are some my favorites, I wish I could get back to them, even just for a moment.
