The History of Minecraft

Welcome to the full story of Minecraft, the greatest videogame of all time.

Huge shoutout to Fanku absolutely carried me with the editing. This project would have taken another 6 months without him.

Apart from a few misc songs, the rest of the music is from the Subnautica OST.

Solid 2 hour yapping session from pitfall, I feel blessed.

All of this makes me realize just how long I've really known minecraft for. So many of these events feel fairly recent, but no, that LP I watched that introduced me to minecraft actually is just 12 years old. And all of these other familiar events from there...

14:40 small fun fact, while Ethos' Let's Play is certainly long, there is one Lets Play that has almost double the episode count. His name is Gronkh and he Let's Played Minecraft for an astounding 1251 episodes. He is a german Youtuber and one of the first and biggest influence to bring Minecraft into the german Youtube scene.

My respects to Notch, Mojang, teams of Minecraft server devs, mod devs, plugin creators, Minecraft youtubers and everyone else that made so many millions of childhoods. It wasn't THE game of my childhood but its made some of the best memories I've had with my long time best friend who's moved country recently. I'm over 18 now and I'm just having a great weekend looking through nostalgia, I can still quote some old Minecraft lets plays to this day and smile looking back on them.

So crazy that 2014 - 2018 felt like an eternity for Minecraft, everything was so slow and uneventful, but 2019 - 2024 feels like everything in the game is fresh, and now 2019 was half a decade Those slow years where only 4 years, that is really crazy for me

Honestly crazy how this only has 29K views, this made me feel like I just lived the through 15 years Minecraft has had. One criticism I have is the fact that the legacy console editions weren’t really touched upon, because 4J studios were really cooking with those ones. Wii U edition, Switch edition, and PS vita edition weren’t even mentioned, or the old battle, tumble, and glide minigames. Just kinda wished those were mentioned.

Most 18 year olds online: still 24 because they use their old account

I've been on a minecraft documentary binge the past week or so and counting. This is bringing so much peace to my inner child. Wasn't long ago, in 2016, when I would stay up all night in skype calls which moved to discord calls. Whether it was building... mindlessly collecting resources on our multiplayer realm, building and collecting money for our skyblock island on our favorite server, teaming up and waging wars all night against other kids just doing the same things we were doing. Feels like we all just grew up and apart a bit, covid came around and that was a blast being able to kick back like old times again. Some things are best left alone as memories, rather than constantly trying to recreate them. Trust me, we tried for a while... just like I know every other friend group did too. Cherish each other and the memories you've created. Everything is happening as it happens... in this day and age, your scope can be as wide as way back when all the way to all the unknowns in the future simply because of social media and the internet. We're all living one life together, and then the next and so on.

First time visiting Pitfall and this channel, but bro just made me yap philosophically. I'm here to stay. Not for a long time, but a good time.

Im so happy youre making videos outside of just hypixel now

I shedded a few tears. Minecraft really impacted me and millions of other people. Playing it as a kid bringed me moments of joy, excitement, curiosity and self expression that will forever stay in my memory, and to me its the game that no matter what happens, I’ll always come back to it. For me its a gateway to feel free, to do whatever I want and enjoy it because thats what Minecraft is and will forever be, a sandbox where the only limit, is your imagination.

Thank you Minecraft, for the memories and experiences that did and will happen. Happy 15 year anniversary <3

i love the longer form of content. One of my fav Minecraft youtubers

[SprinkerMC]

Just watched the whole video, I cannot believe the marvel of a video you have made it literally explains stuff so well it kept me hooked, I couldnt watch in one go because of meals and stuff but this level of editing remaining consistent throughout 2 and a half hours is mind boggling please dont quit these types of videos I know the traction may not be as high as you want it to but never stop uploading ❤️
