I started playing in Beta 1.2 I'm pretty sure. It was shortly before wolves were added.

I kinda miss when the game was a simple sandbox with occasional dangers. They've been around forever, but all the RPG elements (enchanting, levels & experience, potions, etc.) still feel really tacked-on and out-of-place. If I'm allowed to be a hipster for a moment, it feels to me like Mojang gave a bit too much way to the kiddies on the official Minecraft forums who incessantly begged for more combat-related features, regardless of the effect on the overall game.

About the only thing I've really enjoyed about the new RPG features is that it gives me a ton of cool decorations. Brewing stands, enchanting tables and beacons all make for some very nice-looking castles.

I started just before the wolf update as well. On my first survival world I was to scared to go into the caves so until the wolf update I didn't even try. Once wolves happened I went in with like 10 and came out after killing 1 skeleton with 3 wolves left. I then made my little island walled off and covered in torches as well as building a massive watch tower and a mansion. The worst things were creepers they would always I hide behind your doors and blow up all your hard work. I remember I once trapped a chicken and called it Jim had him for ages but then he despawned I was so sad thought a skeleton had murdered him or something.

Minecraft isn't really the same as it was to me when I first started because now I know how to solve basically every problem. Even multiplayer sucks now because I got really good at Pvp playing Project Ares(awesome pvp server) so now I murder basically anyone who attacks me. I wish I could remove all my knowledge about minecraft and just start from scratch then continue being terrified of monsters, fall in love with my pet chicken again and laugh manically as my wolf army kill them selves trying to defend me. But I can't so now everything in minecraft is boring to me. Which sucks cause it is an awesome game.

P.S. Look up Project Ares if you like pvp it's probably the best server for it out there

Not really giving in - if you check the very first pages of Notch's tumblr, he always planned for it to be RPG-ish - but I concur that it doesn't feel like it meshes with the game all that much, more like an official integrated mod than a feature.

Also, Beta 1.1_02 here.

I started playing minecraft, uh...


uhh....

about a week before the first version of infdev was released.

I dont even know how long ago that was.

I started playing minecraft.....

When this topic had one page

Then I didn't play it for 3 years.

gotta admit I did not think it would become this big after playing that first public build with just 4 types of blocks and some crafting. (then again who would have)

Playing minecraft w/ my best friend for the first time in a loong time. We haven't seen each other in a long time but we used to pubstomp pvp servers all the time.

This shit's nostalgic as fuck.

For some reason, I have a memory of playing minecraft before mobs were even in it, but can't remember when. My first real memory would be beta 1.8.3 I think. Or some old version. 1.3.2? 1.8.2?

Since the mod thread seems to have died and been rolled into this one, does anyone have some random/fun suggestions for things I'm missing? I don't really care how much they "fit" with what I currently have.

I'm currently running Bevo's Tech Pack with added Iguana Tweaks, Metallurgy and the TiC addon for it, MineChem, ProjectE, and RFTools. Basically, I view it as "everything and the kitchen sink." When  I get tired of setting up a giant farm growing all of the food in Harvestcraft, I can work on getting enough RF to build and maintain RFTools worlds or something. I've updated mods as required for my additions, but I'm thinking about updating everything else from the pack as well.

Side note, make sure you don't have alloyable things in your smeltery when dumping in Metallurgy stuff. Mine's now full of black/damascus steel instead of the bronze, iron, and deep iron I actually needed.

It looks like special arrows, shield and quiver are coming in the next 'Combat' update, for vanilla.

He's Dinnerbone, and is therefore upside-down.
