[💀 Camgames 🎃]

what was the first minecraft update you played?
​

Minecraft is a game that has been around for quite a bit. It also has had a fair few updates in the time it has existed.

I'm just curious, what update did you start playing minecraft in?

if you are on bedrock edition, just look for the dates or the features that have been added to try to figure it out!

I started playing Java Edition in between 1.5 and 1.6, but before that I played Pocket Edition all the time. I wouldn't be surprised if I did so all the way back in 2011-2012.

I got to mess around with the nether reactor core when I first played in 2015. As for legacy console, I'm not sure but it was definitely before the World of Colour update got to console edition.

First time I actually got into it was 2015 the 1.9 update (correct me if I’m wrong)

 

[Otherworld]

Oh god, I’m old as a rock!

My first version ever played was 1.5.2 -> The Redstone update

Spend hours just blowing the world up with TNT and flying so fast below Bedrock till it corrupts (yes, that might seem a bit unexpected^^)
It was not long till I loaded up like 100 mods for fun and broke that poor laptop:/


So I started playing alpha versions of Minecraft Pocket edition

The world was like 256x256 and there were no caves, no lapis lazuli and beetroot seeds could be obtained by tilling the ground with a hoe

Insane how far it came today, it was a bit of an baffling experience to watch it grow up

1.12 or before I don’t really remember except the fact I used to play a very older version of Minecraft pe

 

[h0pefulll]

Sometime before 1.3.1. I'll be honest that I don't know exactly when, but I know that it was before this update because this was when rotatable logs were implemented!

I’m not sure exactly what update I started playing but I think it was 1.5 Im positive dark oak and acacia were not a thing when I started and I dont believe coal blocks were right when I started either so.
