Since 2013, and it was the best 8 years of my life.


I was a young kid, and I was watching my older brother playing some Hunger Games on his PC.
A few days later, my cousin was able to get me the game (it was an cracked version)

Now, I have full Java! :D

Two and a half (ish) years and I play too much, I came to it rather late. I used to prefer games with more realistic graphics.

Most of our builders started at different times, but we have all come together and work to create amazing worlds for players to explore!

Eight years. My cousin downloaded the cracked version of the game in 2013 and taught me how to play. I only got a premium account in 2016 tho.

I just started in 2021 only its great game :) ^_^

i started at 2017 ive been playing for 3 - 3.5 years well 2017 java i started with mobile in 2015-2014

5 years

I started playing about 9 years ago, during 1.3. Love this game !

I started playing in 2012, so 9 years ago, on an old Kindle Fire we owned at the time. My adopted sister's brother came over and suggested it to me, and so my dad bought it for me. I later played on an Xbox 360 for many years, and now play on PC.

since 2012 at least, starting with the mobile demo version

8 years , since I was 3

Before I started playing the game, I discovered it via Markiplier's age-old Minecraft series, "Drunk Minecraft". This was probably December 2012? I know it was way before I even got hold of the game since my 12-year-old self didn't even use a computer at the time. Lived off my 3DS and Nintendo Wii at the time, old I know, haha.

  Anyway, I started playing on the old Classic version of Minecraft back when you could still play for free on the web browser before it completely shut down for good. I used to play on a few of the Creative servers they had. I don't remember the names to now, but I do wish I had the old builds I made on there; even though they were absolutely terrible, they were still what led me to want the actual game.

  It wasn't until October 2013 that I officially received the game as a very late birthday gift. I had no idea how to even control the actual game. I had no idea how food worked or how creative mode worked. I was a complete noob. Then I just started messing around on a flat world and started making random things. Unfortunately, those worlds I had on my old computer weren't saved. But that was, of course, way before I knew how to even backup worlds, so it's partly my own fault, haha.

  But now it's 2021, and I'm still here playing Minecraft. Not nearly as much as I used to; however, I will say that I still play and am working on an old project of mine that will be having an update soon, which I am very much looking forward to! Minecraft will always be a creative outlet for me, and I don't really see myself giving it up permanently. I may put it aside for a bit, but I've never found myself forever abandoning the game. I never had the heart to, even when I would take month to year-long breaks. I always found my way back to it, no matter what happened. Whether it was on a Minecraft Parkour server, Creative server, or just messing around in singleplayer. I always found something to keep me interested in the game, making it hard for me to believe that it can get "boring". There's always something to do. You just need to look for it.

I've been playing since 2011. It was my favorite game back then and still is now :)

I actually played it since I was 5. And I am 14 now!!! I hadnt got a Smartphone or PC, so I played it on my friends Xbox.

10 months

i can't exactly remember exactly, but i know it was around the exploration update-

the first version i ever played was the good ol' raspberry pi edition, i then moved over to mobile, which then led me to windows 10. then in october of last year, i got java.

I've been playing for 4 years

Saw many YouTubers play and got Minecraft for Christmas in 2015. I was 8 years old.

I started playing back in 2010. I was in high school at the time. I am old! Back then it was just this weird new block game, VERY simple. I was in website design and animation classes, so we were using photoshop to retexture the game which is why our teacher let us play during class as long as we kept modding! Haha he was a great teacher.

I've played on Java and Bedrock, PC and Xbox. I'm not trying to start a debate but bedrock and java are both amazing these days. I play both versions and bet the people who think bedrock sucks are NOT well informed about bedrock. I think my favorite update so far is probably the update aquatic. It was the most badly needed. The oceans were SO huge and boring before that. My least favorite update was the one that added hunger to the game because it was difficult to adjust to at the time. I am okay with hunger now tho. Haha

EDIT: I remember when I very first saw the game, my friend was showing me his "base" which was just a 2x2 tunnel with some normal oak doors and stairs placed here and there. But I was so amazed! I was like "Dude.... You BUILT this?!?" Hahaha The game has become so much more complicated since then.

2012 I started. I was 6 years old lol.

2020...
but officially 2021
but boi im not a noob at the game, i know my stuff.

2013 or 14, I first played the game by pirating it

June 2021- , official account

I personally got the game on December 20th, 2010, the day beta 1.0 released. My oldest brother and a few of my friends played it a lot, so I decided to try it out. Have been playing it regularly ever since.

I started playing a cracked copy of Minecraft on my stepdad's hand-me-down 2003 laptop (which I called "The Dinosaur"), back in probably 2011 or so. I had to crank down all the settings and play at a few frames per second, but by Gary I did everything there was to do in survival at the time. I also had Pocket Edition for my iTouch. Eventually I started playing legitimately with my friend's old account. Nowadays I'm pretty much exclusively a creative mode player.

I got into it because I liked what I saw of it and everyone only had good things to say about it.

The death of my gold fish caused me to start playing in 2021, but I quit recently in 2014 because it wasn't fun mining and crafting anymore

Seems like a nice variation, lol I just assumed everyone on this forum had been playing minecraft forever! Especially when I see some of the posts… I’m like ‘I’ve no idea what you are talking about’ haha!

I’ve got so much to learn but it’s all fun! =)

Alpha 1.1.2_01 is when I started.

One and half year before,I got Minecraft Java.
I played Minecraft Pocket edition for 2 years before I played on java.
I got into minecraft because of the youtubers who played and enjoyed it.

I have been playing since *clears throat* 2020.....

focused on the competitive side of minecraft, played competitive 1.8.9 pvp in 2015 to 2021
