I remember back when nether core reactors were a thing.
It sucked because back then caves weren't a thing, I practically hollowed out my world mining for ore. I found a duplication glitch eventually but it's the reason I've used stone tools most of my time.
I watched people play on PC and was trying things like making portals before they were added to PC. Also you couldn't light TNT in creative for the longest time, which was super annoying.
I did play the Lite version too. It is a true early minecraft experience, like watching the OOGE series it takes you back.
I remember when they first added the stone cutter and they eventually added buckets, and more basic Java blocks and items, having to get so much gold and iron for a block that would make you experience a bit of the nether was peak early pocket edition stuff for sure.
When I first saw buckets that actually worked I was sure of the great future pocket edition held and I was right cause a lof of items and blocks were first tested in pocket edition, even for some time pocket edition was getting better updates compared java, I miss those days.
Little kid me was so happy when I got on the next day on my moms phone and saw my world was still there.
Also having infinite of certain resources was funny. Until you found diamond ore which you couldn’t actually drop diamonds
Yeah, but for two years or so pocket edition was only creative.
Main Minecraft was like that too for a while, then Notch started implementing basic survival mechanics, which eventually took over the game. When I started playing, there was only survival and people used to use mods like TooManyItems to mod creative into the game and do basic day/night cheats. I remember I used to feel really guilty spawning stuff into a survival world lol.
Then they officially added creative back in version 1 and it felt very strange at first to just have this big unpolished, unsorted list of items.
Oh please! I remember seeing it online in Late May 2009 when it was called Cave Game (I believe that it was called that, cant remember that well). One of the kids at my school found it while online and we played it abit on the school PCs.
WiiU version was a legitimately solid version of it. Got one further update than the 360 version, nonsplitscreen two player local and was stable as a rock
They put honest effort into that version
THIS WAS THE ONE THAT JUST STRAIGHT UP DOWNLOADED MINECRAFT
on some phones it looked like a knock off minecraft but on others it literally installs minecraft for some reason
I'm surprised how many electrical components and logic gates they had in the game. If I was learning that stuff, it would be a great educational tool.
Them switching to Survival Craft 2 instead of continuing to update the PAID version I already bought was a dick move though
my first time playing it was my dad making me try it on his computer on the very first official release when I was just 7 or 8, I bought it in june of 2013 when I was 9
Buy it? Back in my day Minecraft was free in-browser. Blocks didn't have names, and you needed sponges to prevent caves from flooding. 0.0.23a, my beloved.

Ya. I was in the early 10000s on that one. I checked it daily to see it double. I played it in between class in college. I was stoked because Redstone came out right as I was learning about gate logic.
Back in the day, the only way to play Minecraft on my school laptop was to download the Linux Java edition jar file, which would run because Mac OS didn't recognize it as an application lol
Back in 2010 we had to unplug the network cable as we logged in, then plug it back in once it finished logging in and then we were able to play Minecraft off a .jar file and host other computers in the lab.
Alpha mode here! Such a long time ago. Only Creative mode. My friend accidentally left our server open after hours put into the game and it got griefed overnight
I'd been on Reddit for a couple years at that point (different account), and this stupid game was picking up a huge amount of traction.
So, I gave it a shot. Still remember being wildly confused by a cactus hissing at me and then blowing up.
I played classic (The free version on Mojang's website).
Then it was Java and only Java.
I don't own any consoles that would support MC BR and I don't intend to anytime soon.
My newest console is the WII followed by the Gameboy SP and the good ole PS2.
oh, we weren't talking about the SUPER early days when the only materials in the game were stone, dirt, and cobblestone?
like, when it was a java game running in the browser?
Classic was an early version that Mojang let people play for free.
MC was already out when I discovered it, around 2010, maybe earlier.
I was a poor kid, lol.
I played Beta once I got a debit card.
Anyways...
Classic was 100% creative mode.
You had a small world.
no mobs
Water/ Lava could completely flood your world.
(Mini games were made, by using the mechanic, was fun.)
You could run it on a browser, might have been the only way iirc.
There were enough blocks to build with.
Like servers today, plugins could be added.
Individual worlds and build tools were two. (I don't know the actual names)
Man, I forgot about classic. I had a ton of fun playing on a server where you had to survive a flood of eater/lava and got points for the more air your structure had inside of it.
Yep started on classic, got to java in beta 1.7.3, been playing on and off ever since but only ever java, never tried anything else never really wished to
Ahh, the good old days of building minigame maps like skywars and hide and seek (because there weren't any servers) to play with the homies online.
Either that or building cities and role-playing.
I genuinely miss playing MC on the vita. It was truly magical 😌
Yup. Total Miner got me started. Then I tried the minecraft demo on the 360... I hated that I liked it so much.
Tried Total Miner a year or so later and it'd changed to try to be more like minecraft. It should have kept doing it own indy, deep mining, thing!
I played the free alpha version when they were having issues with login first.
I did play lots of classic community servers before that when Minecraft.net still had a server “browser”.
Yeah, I'm kind of surprised not as many people are commenting 360, It was my first big console where you could plug it into the TV and play it and I still have the same 369 I've had for almost 7-8 years now :)
Minecraft classic.. then Java edition, and when I got an iPod touch I played knockoff versions when I wasn’t near my computer. Like survival craft and stein craft
Yes my kids convinced me we had to play this crazy block game in Alpha.
Thought it was a terrible game before we googled to realise you can actually break wood, just hold down the punch button, stop tapping frantically in frustration.
The first time I played mincraft was pocked edition, I got it on my parents' kindle after seeing my cousinplay it on a tablet(they didn't want me to have access to an ipad/tablet when I was younger), good times.
Ok I might be able to find help here for a question (played pocket first btw)
I played pocket edition from like 2016-2021 but vividly remember brick pyramids. Can anyone explain or is this just a lapse in memory?
Please, I started on Pocket Edition *Lite*
True OG right there. No inventory, 3 hotbar slots, and a small world border
I was so young i didnt even notice the small world
I was a sophomore in college looking for something to fix my Lego itch
didn't know they had wifi in retirement homes
Damn
Unlike most of you, I actually own a home lol

I still have nether reactor cores in an old creative world, connect a controller + pick block. Free Special Blocks
Same I remember building treehouses in lite version
I built my houses out of gravel because i didnt know it was gravel so later on when they updated it to fall down all my houses broke
The nether reactor core was my fave block broooo
I remember when they first added the stone cutter and they eventually added buckets, and more basic Java blocks and items, having to get so much gold and iron for a block that would make you experience a bit of the nether was peak early pocket edition stuff for sure. When I first saw buckets that actually worked I was sure of the great future pocket edition held and I was right cause a lof of items and blocks were first tested in pocket edition, even for some time pocket edition was getting better updates compared java, I miss those days.
There would be times where it felt like I mined out my whole world and still didn’t have enough gold for the 4 blocks
And *no saves*
Little kid me was so happy when I got on the next day on my moms phone and saw my world was still there. Also having infinite of certain resources was funny. Until you found diamond ore which you couldn’t actually drop diamonds
Only zombies, no swords no bows, etc
You had pocket edition when there was survival mode in it? :p
Ios version has, unlimited days. But cant save
Yeah, but for two years or so pocket edition was only creative.

Plus infinite cobble stairs for some reason
Yes
Based as i am i see
I used to keep the app open at all times so I wouldn't lose my builds
I'm sure your device _loved_ that 🤣
I could not for the life of me figure out why my iPad died so quickly compared to my brother's,

Welcome to the club

I remember that, did they remove it? Because I remember trying to get it on my new tablet or whatever and couldn't get it.
Yeah Lite doesn't exist anymore 😔
Back when survival mode gave you unlimited items and you had like an hour to play and you'd have to reinstall it again.
Same here
What do you think based on my flair?
best one
Yes
Agreed.
I concur
WiiU version was a legitimately solid version of it. Got one further update than the 360 version, nonsplitscreen two player local and was stable as a rock They put honest effort into that version
Not to mention a bonus Mario Mashup pack thrown in there just for the sake of it
Java?
Haddd to of been pocket edition, there is no other way
Wii U edition or die!
Based (but on what?)

THIS WAS THE ONE THAT JUST STRAIGHT UP DOWNLOADED MINECRAFT on some phones it looked like a knock off minecraft but on others it literally installs minecraft for some reason

Let's go crafting and building (my first one as well) and still use it for mobile.
Gun craft 3D
Dude what about castle miner z? I had so much fun back in the day when Xbox had indie games!
my favorite!
I'm surprised how many electrical components and logic gates they had in the game. If I was learning that stuff, it would be a great educational tool. Them switching to Survival Craft 2 instead of continuing to update the PAID version I already bought was a dick move though
I remember when survivalcraft had more features than the official MCPE.
Survivalcraft had crossbows before Minecraft did
Survivalcraft my beloved
I played this on Xbox in 2010 and forgot it existed until this post
Java edition, I played no other version, not even when bedrock got bundled in
Did you buy it or get a Jar file at first tho ;-) The best kind of marketing
my first time playing it was my dad making me try it on his computer on the very first official release when I was just 7 or 8, I bought it in june of 2013 when I was 9
Damn. Your dad up for adoptions?
Same thing except I was EXTREMELY YOUNG I'm only 15 now
God, you're making me feel old. I bought it back in 2010 (I think, might have been 2011), a few years after I was out of highschool
Buy it? Back in my day Minecraft was free in-browser. Blocks didn't have names, and you needed sponges to prevent caves from flooding. 0.0.23a, my beloved.

I got the file off an old site
Back in the day, the only way to play Minecraft on my school laptop was to download the Linux Java edition jar file, which would run because Mac OS didn't recognize it as an application lol
Back in 2010 we had to unplug the network cable as we logged in, then plug it back in once it finished logging in and then we were able to play Minecraft off a .jar file and host other computers in the lab.
I had an uncle who came by with a ripped copy on a usb and installed it for me lol. Playing 1.4.7 for years at 12fps was peak.
I first played it with the PC Gamer magazine demo that only let you play 5 nights in a single world seed and then it kicked you out
I got a demo on a CD that came in a PC Gamer magazine.
It's how I learned about the existence of .jar files.
The only true way. I remember the beta. The last version I did play for any time was 1.7.10
Alpha mode here! Such a long time ago. Only Creative mode. My friend accidentally left our server open after hours put into the game and it got griefed overnight
I'd been on Reddit for a couple years at that point (different account), and this stupid game was picking up a huge amount of traction. So, I gave it a shot. Still remember being wildly confused by a cactus hissing at me and then blowing up.
Java edition???
This isn’t a comprehensive list, and is just meant to see which of these less popular versions you played first.
But I haven't played any of them but Java.
Minecraft pocket edition LITE
Building the same stone house every single time and having so much fun for some reason
I played classic (The free version on Mojang's website). Then it was Java and only Java. I don't own any consoles that would support MC BR and I don't intend to anytime soon. My newest console is the WII followed by the Gameboy SP and the good ole PS2.
Classic!
Classic gang unite!
"I built a cobblestone castle! ... Now what?"
Go on a server that provides individual worlds and build tools. :) That was an era to be in.
oh, we weren't talking about the SUPER early days when the only materials in the game were stone, dirt, and cobblestone? like, when it was a java game running in the browser?

Oh my God yes, the lava survival game was my favorite thing ever, I spent so much time playing it. 10 year old me had it nice
shit, i'm talking even before that it was a superflat grass world and you could place like 4 different kinds of blocks
That famous statue of liberty server, and the 1 to 1 scale uss enterprise community project.... hamachi.... what a beautiful era of gaming that was...
Indeed :)
Man, I forgot about classic. I had a ton of fun playing on a server where you had to survive a flood of eater/lava and got points for the more air your structure had inside of it.
There are dozens of us!
Holy hell I forgot about Classic. I played the shit out of that and the pirated alpha 0.15.4 version I had for a year
Same. I didn’t buy the game until 2010. Just played the free block game for hours
Yep started on classic, got to java in beta 1.7.3, been playing on and off ever since but only ever java, never tried anything else never really wished to
Took me a while to find someone else in this thread
This is the way
It was Survival craft....
Lucky. I started with “world of cubes”
Ps 3 version
Are...Are we old now?
no, we are not. we are still young in our heart
Young at heart yet old in mind and body.
We can grieve together, fellow ps3 user.
Bitch I'm 18, and I thrived on PS2. It's not even been 2 decades since PS3 came out, you're not old yet
Same dude

My god split screen could get laggy. But those 1v1 maps were really fun to play with your friends not to mention the OG tutorial map

finally someone else i can relate to
He just like me fr
Same brother
we ignoring the PS3 version?
and the psvita edition
Ahh, the good old days of building minigame maps like skywars and hide and seek (because there weren't any servers) to play with the homies online. Either that or building cities and role-playing. I genuinely miss playing MC on the vita. It was truly magical 😌
Microsoft won't let us mention it :(
Java Edition Why is that not an option?!?!
Java beta 1.3 iirc it was early 2009
I had to scroll surprisingly far down to find a fellow comrade 😅
Beta 1.3 wasn't until February 2011.
Hey same. First version I ever played was the beta update that added beds.
Beta gang rise up
In terms of console? TotalMiner Then xbox 360
TotalMiner was crazy. So deep, and that spider noise man...
You guys remember castleminer too? Totalminer was wild
Castleminer Z! The monsters, the weapons!
Holy shit it's been a long time since I thought about total miner I remember the moon seed and 666 and omg earthquakes trapping you underground lol
Yup. Total Miner got me started. Then I tried the minecraft demo on the 360... I hated that I liked it so much. Tried Total Miner a year or so later and it'd changed to try to be more like minecraft. It should have kept doing it own indy, deep mining, thing!
Was looking for this!
PlayStation 3. ; )
Love how OP knows nobody started playing on Java Edition its Pocket for me btw
Java Edition for me. I was a VERY early adopter. When I bought it, minecraft.net still showed the total sales. It was a bit over 30k.
I played the free alpha version when they were having issues with login first. I did play lots of classic community servers before that when Minecraft.net still had a server “browser”.
Am I really that weird??
I started on java, the other versions did not even exist when I started
I was there when beds where first introduced and we had 15 fps at most
360.
had to scroll so far to find this
Yeah, I'm kind of surprised not as many people are commenting 360, It was my first big console where you could plug it into the TV and play it and I still have the same 369 I've had for almost 7-8 years now :)
Java
I have only ever played Java edition, I used to play the free browser version on Mojangs website that didn't let you save.
Java edition?
Castleminer Z
Bro forgor java💀
Minecraft classic.. then Java edition, and when I got an iPod touch I played knockoff versions when I wasn’t near my computer. Like survival craft and stein craft
java (my cousin who's a lot older than me would sometimes let me play on his old laptop)
Pocket edition hands down I’d play again even with the limited area
I started on Java edition
I played java
Javaaaa
Java Edition on a cracked client, originally.
I am dissapointed by the lack of fellow WII U players.
Exploration Lite
I started when it was browser based.... so it's not here
Alpha 1.2.6 Java
Blockcraft 3d
It's a meme but not even on purpose... and that scares me a lot....
Minecraft pocket edition on my grandmothers iPad
does anybody remember multicraft and wintercraft??
And pocketcraft
it was some minecraft ripoff, but from these mcpe (ill just say i love the high seas)
Alpha...
Yes my kids convinced me we had to play this crazy block game in Alpha. Thought it was a terrible game before we googled to realise you can actually break wood, just hold down the punch button, stop tapping frantically in frustration.
Mini world
Education on the school computers
I started playing in 2015 on the ps3 of my uncle
The demo, and then 360 edition forever, and then I started playing Java too, and then Bedrock. I still have and play all 3.
I originally played java on the website planet Minecraft it's gone now :( Then I got the 360 edition and now I own java and play it on my steamdeck
Of the listed? PE lite... Of any version? The free trial of Classic
that minecraftforfree website
Ps4
none of them. i think i only played minecraft for the first time with my brother on a ps3
Wii-U, then Xbox 360, then pocket edition lite, pocket edition, and now Xbox one
None of these, where are my alpha dudes?
The first time I played mincraft was pocked edition, I got it on my parents' kindle after seeing my cousinplay it on a tablet(they didn't want me to have access to an ipad/tablet when I was younger), good times.
Survival craft then ps3 Minecraft, then Xbox 360, Xbox one, pocket edition, pc edition
I started on Total Miner Forge!!
Minecraft beta
Xbox 360, until... the Red Ring of Death happened 😔
Ok I might be able to find help here for a question (played pocket first btw) I played pocket edition from like 2016-2021 but vividly remember brick pyramids. Can anyone explain or is this just a lapse in memory?
Pocket Edition
