I have an image in my mind of Notch sitting at his PC at 2am, can of Jolt in his hand, shaking his head, and saying, "That does not look like a pig!"

I'm glad that Omniarchive has been able to archive a lot of old versions for us to play for centuries to come.

I love these videos on the "lost" features of minecraft, It's actually so intriguing and thought provoking to what could have been.

14:00 It's been 10 years and Java edition still has not been able to put potions in cauldrons ever since then, even though they added those to bedrock

[superNova]

I love how one of the 1.8 betas has what looks like work in progress 1.17/1.18 cave

[MahiAviation]

I wonder if modern developers still have access to those early versions

13:51 Technically you could just use task manager to close your game, and then use an NBT editor to remove the Hardcore tag from your world so you can view it again. It's sad that pretty much no one knew that!

[bugmancx]

method's definitely been working ultra-hard in recreating the nostalgia! Minecraft has such a rich history.

14:00 - One more interesting fact about potions:
Originally (somewhere before the cauldron brewing build was created) it was planned the potion recipes will be different for every single world, and you had either "travel to find notes" (most likely as dungeon loot) or discover them through trial & error.

There is no any known dev build featuring this though, so it probably was just a scrapped idea (and I kinda can understand why), but just imagine how cool and interesting the potion brewing aspect of the game could

4:44 I want a copy of these skins! Few will know where they came from or that they're even special, it'd be so neat

[phonfowo]

ngl, seeing a dragon in the overworld that will not attack you can be breathtaking

[ddsretro]

Is it just me or does the dev stronghold look cooler than the actually released one?

[thedeathcrepeer]

Didn't expect that collab with and shoutout to Method, well deserved!

[ideac.]

This is my favorite part about Minecraft
a game that is literally 12 years old has so many mysteries, lost content and all of that, i just love it!

[y_weirdo]

i’m genuinely fascinated by the MD3 version, like imagine running around getting wood and then you see a random character chasing you 😭

[rickpolar]

This was awesome really well done all around. I can appreciate the amount of research and planning you must have put into this to present it so well. It was awesome to see this sort of MC history

[DiamondDepthYT]

I learn so much about Minecraft from you! One time, my friends asked how I learned so much. I happily showed them your channel lol. Every one of your videos is so interesting and unique.

[nasko]

yooo I was waiting a lot for this video

Thanks for the credit, And thanks for making it :D

[WinterGamesYT]

4:26 right as the image faded into view, the "train whistle" noise played form my minecraft which i was playing while watching this

[lufox]
