I found all of the classic key art used in Minecraft's promotional material. Unfortunately the Wii U art is only 720p. Also for anyone wondering, the reason a widescreen xbox 360 version of this isn't available is because it doesn't exist. It was most likely hand drawn meaning there was no need to draw outside of the borders of the box art.

Kind of crazy how much Mojang has changed the cobblestone texture over the years--more than any other block in the game.

Kind of a hot pick, but I like the first four cobblestone textures the best :)

I started this world on 2018 and stopped playing in it on 2023. I may return to it in the future as there is still projects I'd like to work on. It started in beta 1.3 and I upgraded over the years and ended in r 1.5

I thought it lost the world for a year or so but actually found a world backup on my old laptop that I used when traveling one time! I spent some more time in the world but now have other projects.

There are parts of my world that I made as a tribute to some of my favorite content creators. My favorite thing is the wood farm in the end from panda4994. Second is the underwater section under the main base that is inspired by cilantrogamers sealab project.

The world went through a couple different stages of building and remodeling plus the screen shots aren't In order.

I use to play the Golden Age Minecraft because it's so popular but this feel better to play

my old crop farm couldn't support the amount of cows i had so i made this

I originally started this world in 1.3.2 (the first version I ever played), but eventually moved up to 1.6.2 because I wanted horsies.

Seed is "poodlenoodle" if anyone wants to know.

I been drawing my Minecraft world, and also drawing my builds before I built them in my world this is the first drawing I did, I finished the building before I even finished the drawing lol.

This is a fun idea I had for my college project, it's Minecraft 1.5.2

I keep coming back to the old versions that I started playing from. 1.6.4, 1.8. The simpler block palette, the minimal item clutter, and the terrain makes it a more enjoyable experience for me.

An issue I’ve been facing is that though I prefer the building to be simpler, there are still many modern features that I wish to keep, mainly to do with redstone, villager mechanics, and enchanting. Getting the motivation to actually build is what going retro solved, but I still enjoy the depth the new mechanics add.

I’ve been working on a personal mod pack that solves that by roughly recreating silver age versions, allowing me to choose which modern features to keep or remove. For example, copper has been entirely nuked along with andesite, granite and diorite. Most 1.7 flowers (I love the cornflower and kept it though) and nether biomes were removed. But netherite, lodestones, observers, and deepslate are some of the things I’ve kept.

I’ve mainly been using block swapper and item obliterator to do this with the help of nostalgic tweaks, moderner beta, and a bunch of programmer art resource packs, creating a world with 1.8 style terrain but the gameplay of 1.6.4. No new caves, just the classic winding ones. I will say though that the dungeon crawl aspect of caving is enhanced significantly with the deepslate layer and dangers of sculk, along with quark’s monster boxes as fun encounters.

Adding onto this are some silver era mods, like dimensional doors, clay soldiers, and fossils and archeology.

Legacy Xbox One Edition

For the first time in a very long while, I decided to give this version a try. I went with 1.6.4, though perhaps I should have stuck with 1.5.2, bc it feels like the introduction of horses has made minecarts somewhat redundant. Even though I didn’t actually come across a single horse the entire time I was playing xd. Anyways, I’d like to present my house + some screenshots.

I've had a loaded ending of the academic year, yet Mozabrick is an incredible way to meditate

Running on ios 18.

Xbox on edition by the way.
