I Felt Like It Was Time For A Blog So Here I Am.


Todays blog is about the different people of minecraft who started paying either before or after others.

By that I mean the people who started playing in like classic vs. the people who started playing in 1.8.1 . I can proudly say I first played minecraft in 1.7.3 but that was only for a few hours cause when i first played minecraft it was on the day 1.8 came out.

But anyway getting off topic. The people who started playing early early on are the people who are like *says in old man voice* "I remember when minecraft didnt have all of this fancy enchantment and potions." These people are most likely the most annoying people who can encounter in minecraft. They are also the people who are like... "Back in 1.7.3 you had to build to survive forage for food and bla bla bla." Cause truthfully (if you can accept change) no one cares about what they say. They are the people who...
  • Upload maps from 1.7.3 and before
  • Complain about Jebs changes
  • Still think that notch gives two flying bananas about minecraft
  • Cant accept that change to minecraft can be good
  • Sit and play 1.7.3 for all the mods and cant play with their friends
Then you have the cool people. The people who are excited for the updates.

These people dont annoy you unless your one of the 1.7.3 people. These people know things about minecraft how to play, how to craft the new things, and how to do stuff in the new age. You can spot these people by...
  • OMG THE NEW UPDATE COMES OUT TOMORROW :DDDDD
  • They will be on servers
  • They will say jeb did things not notch
  • They will drink potions (;D) and enchant things
  • They won't complain about things that have been removed or updated
Ok scratch the ending for a little. Since i've been told i'm sounding too biased I asked one of my friends about his view on the updates and if he likes pre 1.8 better. He basically said (this is where i got most of my info from) He liked all of the mods that he had back in 1.7.3 He also said that jeb had ruined the game and i quote "He literally fed minecraft to a lion and watched it tear it apart and gave it back to us." He also likes how when you ate food you didn't have that stupid hunger bar. He like the fog shortcut a.k.a. pressing the f button. He likes the simplicity and how he can just have fun on a server with no admins with creative mods and god swords killing everyone.

Now I can see why he would like the server thing but I still like minecraft. Sure 1.7.3 had a lot of mods but I dont use mods so I wouldn't know. I mean I did only play 1.7.3 for a few hours but I did feel like the graphics were a bit lower than they are now (even for minecraft). Also when I talk about notch I don't say it in a mean way im just like why would you walk away from a game that got you famous. But anyway thats what I had to say and rather be called biased again ill just leave it there and let you all go on with your comments. Hoped this cleared some things up and now to the conclusion.

So i hoped you all like this blog and please comment saying if your a Old School Minecrafter or a Modern-Day minecrafter. I'll see you all next time don't forget to check out my other things and DIAMOND, FAVORITE, SUBSCRIBE

(p.s. just so you know I am a strong updater I love new updates and cant wait for more. I found 1.7.3 very boring and 1.8 so much more fun).

I started at 1.5 and I think I prefer about 1.8 .-. Some of the reasons I prefer "back in the day" is cause a) the grass and leaves were single coloured and I miss being a noob :3 and b) because I remember before I eas a mod on the server I play on and I remember hosting community events in me and Fred's town in Halloween and in winter we covered the place n snow usin snow golems :3

I've been playing Minecraft since 0.27, which was about three years ago. Most people that still play can't say they started that early.

I've been playing Minecraft since Alpha, but I still find that the updates are really fun and well made.

As a player since alpha, I get beat up by the 1.7 players often. It saddens me to see all of the [PVP][GRIEF][TEENAGEWR} servers out there now. I still say notch made minecraft, I still say Jeb ruined it a little. I have not upgraded my Minecraft since an update after the nether was patched in. I refuse to upgrade minecraft, and I will only play in alpha.

Initially, I enjoyed your post. However I think you're being a little to critical of the people you consider to be old school minecrafters, and too aggressive based on bias. I understand your acceptance of the newer updates and the enthusiasm you hold for the recent development that's been going on as a result of jeb because I'm also supportive of the newer updates. But that doesn't mean that I agree that the oldschool minecrafters aren't cool or annoying, I can also understand why they're lamenting the newer additions to minecraft. I've followed minecraft since 1.2 beta and owned the game finally in 1.0. I personally prefer the feel beta had, since it was a lot more limited in resources, but allowed players to utilize any aspect of the game however they wanted while working against challenges imposed by the game's limitations.

While you say that notch turned his back on minecraft, I don't think that notch's retirement from being head of the project is good justification to portray him as this cynical traitor. And one thing that really urked me about this post is your contempt for players that cling to the original feel of minecraft, stating that "Then you have the cool people. The people who are excited for the updates (me and ma friends)."

Which really shows a lot of bias held in your post. I think you had some potential in the post, and it was an interesting read, but your feelings towards the old minecrafters is a little to radical for my taste, and your overly glorified portrayal of yourself and supporters of the new updates results in making you appear to be really egotistical and naive.

Try to turn down the notch a bit in future posts so you're not risking deterring others from following your content and refusing an entire audience that is still a large presence in the minecraft community, the "Oldschool minecrafters" as you say.

I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just trying to give you some feedback as to what I found to be a bit irritating and overly bias.
