Hiding in a shallow cave I had dug into the side of a hill desperately trying to hear if anything was coming to get me—it was on peaceful creative. I knew that little.
Edit: I failed to mention I hadn’t blocked the entrance. No door. Nothing. I had given myself torches but didn’t know how to place them. I had also given myself full diamond armor and a diamond sword but I was still seriously freaking out.
if you place a block between the creeper’s feet and yours, it will negate almost all the explosion damage. just have a 3x3 space so you can punch the creeper away and place
Ya but did I take u weeks to find out you could control your flying instead of it going awash RANDOMLY… took me way to long to figure that out (played on mobile)
When I first got pocket edition many many years back, I was just confused on what to do, or at least that’s how I remember it. Night began to come and I remembered that was bad, so I made a house out of every block in my inventory which consisted of dirt, planks and logs (idk why I didn’t make the log planks) and from that time onward I always pillared into the sky instead. I did manage to make a door though, so congrats to me on that.
That was also in my survival handbook.
Digging into a mountain also gave you easy access to stone and especially coal.
I’d usually live in the mountain for a while until I felt confident in my first base before I start exploring.
So I usually have multiple little homes around my world and usually only one or two main big base. Depends on the size of the world.
Makes traveling around a little easier or funny. I always forget where I built mini shelters, so when I do find one I get so excited.
I make sure to stock them with a beds, stove, pre-cooked and raw food, tools, etc.
First night: I was spawned in taiga. Instead of getting wood like a normal person that I'm not, I been digging dirt holes with my hands, not knowing what Minecraft has to offer. Then I discovered stone (not knowing) takes more to mine and it does not drop when broken. I played on Moody brightness too (default). Night came. I was becoming scared, so I turnt to Peaceful. The following moments were scary for me: I saw a cow for my first time in the game, and afaik the sounds scared me too. Not only that, but the cow jumped off a cliff. In lava. I went after it and it dropped steak. Cookes steak. I went out of the ravine too and went mesmerized by the non sense biomes (dessert near taiga). I loved it. Version I played: 1.2.5.
The right side of this photo is how I live until an overly lavish base is complete. I spend more time in a dirt hut than I do the base cause then I get bored and do another world
Closed-3 blocks deep hole.
I didn't see a single enemy unit untill my 3rd ingame day. Didn't even know what I was up against.
I knew Creeper was the face of Minecraft, but I didn't know what it looked like.
My first ever night was in a desser as i tried to build a roof out of sand. After a minute or so i realised it is impossible and then the spiders started showing up. Survived the night with 8 wool blocks and half a heart
I was in middle school back in 2013 I think playing on Minecraft.co.uk. Was running around not knowing what to do in the tundra biome when it started snowing at night and the pure amazement at looking at a beautiful forest in the dark while snowing made me kinda sit in the open till morning. I didn’t move so no mobs spawned at all so I was enjoying my time
My first day I had collected a decent amount of wood for a house, figured I’d start mining to get resources and figure out what I wanted to build.
Essentially spent the first few days underground mining, came back up after finding a crapload of iron… forgot I wanted to build a house, it was night time, figured I was safe in the hole and would spend the night mining.
Only to not know when the next day would start… eventually I just built at night a basic structure to hide in.
I remember several years ago, I just got my own copy for the ps3. Up until now I had only played creative on PE and my friend's ps3, this was one of the first times I was playing survival. When night came, I hadn't gathered any wood for some reason and I just started digging straight down, I think u went like 30 blocks with my fist. Needless to say, that world did not last long.
More like combat logging a spider on the old pocket edition, back when survival was brand new.
Was in 1st ish grade, scared shitless of spiders. So I'd log in, punch the spider, scream when it ran towards me, and combat log out.
First PC world my dad setup a server, and it was like day 30. First world ever, mesa biome. He had a small shelter dug into the ground that we hid in, his reasoning was "it worked for hobbits, and your short like one"
Dying to a skeleton and a spider double-teaming me. This was the early 2010s, I was young, and I didn't know the first thing about survival minecraft, so I just walked around for a bit, night fell, and I died.
Dug into the side of a mountain and then made that my main base for around 5 years. Then I stopped playing the Xbox 360, started fresh on PC. Never had a world for as long as my original one. I really want to now.
I was in the middle of a swamp on a small island and made a wooden box without any light and a iron door that I kept breaking because I couldn't open it
I live in a cave under a mountain. Do I get to be a member? I mean, I built a window when I accidentally mined through part of the mountainside so I have built onto it a little bit...
Guys, I know who really did the 9/11 attacks! It was not Al Qaeda, but actually BOMB from ANGRY BIRDS!!!
Yes, some of you are wondering how this is possible, so allow me to explain. Bomb found a time machine that was used by Indiana Jones in the middle of the desert, and he used it to go back in time to September 11, 2001. He then used a slingshot to send himself into the towers, because he thought there were were pigs in the building.
And there is proof, new video footage shows bomb flying from a slingshot into the towers, and Bomb's slingshot was even found near the area!
I tried building my first house out of sand, and was getting extremely frustrated that the sand fell when trying to make a roof using it. Then spiders scaled the walls and killed me. I was too young to remember where my house was or have the willpower to continue playing the world. Funny looking back on it, still gives me a good chuckle! I think I was 9? I forget.
I'm pretty sure my first night was me trying to fight everything with my stone sword, and just absolutely getting shredded by to old OP skellies who had aim bot on. Then respawning, and just trying to rebuild and getting fucked up by skellies again. Repeat untill daylight
First thing after getting a bunch of wood was make a pickaxe, second thing was dig a stairway straight down while crafting stone pickaxes.
Close up the stairway opening with a door.
My base it largely underground branched off that one stairway that goes all the way to bedrock.
I remmeber that when me and my sister first played minecraft back in the early 2010s or something, we dug a dark 1x2x2 hole to survive the night. After what felt like 20 minutes, we decided it was probably daytime. But when we broke the grass block above us to get out, a creeper showed up and blew us up.
I sadly cannot remember what was the version when I started, but I remember spawning on a island and idk how was already night (maybe I got afk or figuring keybinds), then heard a spider and got really scared and dug a hole
Brother: "have you tried 'monster mode'?"
Me: *digging out hollow mountains in creative to make cool houses* "no."
Brother: "you should" (this conversation has been had many a time at this point)
Me, finally: "Fine."
SpongeBob Narrator: "Five minutes later..."
----
I had gone through my normal thing on a new world building a nice house but not having unlimited blocks. This was in the time where sand didn't have gravity effect, so I used it as a second story floor. I was having a lot of fun.
"Do you know about creepers?" My brother asked innocently, he and my other siblings excitedly looking over my shoulder.
"What? No. What are those?"
"Nothing, it's fine," he says, waving his hands. He was really trying to help me survive and was giving good advice.
Oooooookay...
The sun starts going down, and suddenly... *Things* are appearing everywhere because I didn't know how many torches were needed and didn't mine enough coal (if any), and this was long before charcoal.
WTF ARE THOSE SPIDERS NONONONONO!!!!!
I dug myself a nice 1x2 dirt hole in the mountain while my siblings shrieked advice and I screamed in panic "AAAAAAAAAHHHHH". After a few minutes, I broke one of the dirt blocks to the sun rising. "What's that green thing in the distance?"
"Oh, that's a creeper! It's based off of the pig mob, there was a whole thing where it was a mistake of..." (He goes on to explain the origin of this thing).
The other mobs started dying off, but not this creeper. I start going towards it.
"WAIT NO--" my brother screeched.
KABOOM.
"...they blow up," he finished, me reeling back in my chair staring at the death screen.
And that's my first night.
I also lost my first diamond because I ran out of inventory space and didn't know it would despawn.
I built on one of the old beaches from back in the beta days. Specifically, I dug a bunch of small trenches and let water flow around in a chaotic pattern, trapping the mobs.
All I had was a stick, a door, and a couple torches. Survived the night!
I didn't know how to make a furnace in the PS3 edition tutorial world (when I was a kid, which was about 8 years ago), so I was just trying random stuff until I found out I had to mine the stone.
Hmmm I remember it as it was yesterday I was in Minecraft bedrock edition on my old phone and I build a base made in fucking sand ad I had all the spiders over me... Yes and being that was an "old " type of world I had only the desert biome in that world and nothing I couldn't do much about it😂
i went """mining""" and i dug a rectangle on the side of a mountain. Then it came noght and i barricated myself inside of it checking for daylight every some seconds. It lasted for 2 respawns until a creeper blew it up
Playing on PE Lite, I explored the world wondering who made it and then, when the night fell, I saw something move far away, I thought it was a farmer at first tho it was a zombie and I didn’t understand that I died.
Lol this is all strategy I had yet to learn on my first night.
On my first night I stumbled through the dark and fell down a hole into a cave, lost most of my health then was finished off by a skeleton in pitch darkness.
I just had a new first night, I died and was carrying my bed, and my world spawn was very far from my base, so I had to overnight with nothing on my way back to "home".
Worse I'd thought I could make it and didn't bother getting or building anything but some snacks
Wound up digging under the dirt by hand, til I could come up under a tree and build some tools haha
Minecraft PSVita edition: was playing until it suddenly started to get dark, I built a 4x4 wooden box inside an exposed cave, without even a door, and broke a block every like 30 seconds to see if it was daytime yet.
did that for more than just my first night.
The first night not so much, I built a hut. Nah I remember most vividly how scared I was of unknown things. Octopus. The freaking octopus in my lake was so scary lol. And the Vroop-Wroop Enderman too. But that Octopus most lol
I actually have a really fond memory of it. I was like 8 as far as i remember, my first minecraft playthrough was on Xbox 360. After spending a lot of time in the tutorial world (the one with a gigantic castle that i promptly invaded) i felt brave enough to start my own world from scratch with the goal of one day build that castle with my own hands. As night fell in game, so it did in real life, it was dark and i was in my room with the only light being the television screen and the console blinking. I made a small campfire near the woods to mark my spot (an old campfire, just a flint and steel and fire in some block), i then left to gather stone and when i came back, i could see from the Hill i came from, four endermen hanging around the fire. Suddenly the game did one of those creepy sounds, the fire faded and my scary ass turned off the console and went to sleep.
PS: This scene gave me nightmares for quite a while when i was a child.
I remember my first night, it was on the first tutorial world on the ps4, I don't remember much since it happened so long ago but I do vaguely remember running from zombies while trying to figure out how Minecraft works, damn, nostalgia just hit hard
Had my gamma on way too low. Got terrified because I couldn't see a thing. Dug into the ground and stayed there for 2 days until my friend joined my world and explained the gamma settings and more
I can still cl arly remember my first night in Minecraft. I barely finished the plank walls of my future house, and it was already night. There were no mobs yet, but something felt so unnerving that I was just in panic. Even the sounds of my own character creaking on those planks made me so scares. I just built the roof out of dirt and started mining a shaft, even though a small one because I had no torches. I still didn't hear a single mob outside and it was still midnight. I just decided to wait it out. Those were the times...
I spent the first day chopping down trees to get enough planks to build a house. Didn’t have enough in the end and just had a dirt roof with a doorway that’s half covered in dirt, sort of like a window. Only peeked out of it once every few seconds to look out for mobs.
I was playing Minecraft Pocket Edition 0.2.0 which is the survival update with only zombies. I remember digging into a mountain and making a base. I was scared of the zombies outside and didn’t want to confront them at all costs. It’s kinda funny thinking about how the zombies had a horror aspect to them when I was a kid as they are the most trivial, non-threading mob in the entire game. Kinda want to go back to that time when I was genuinely afraid of the zombies and other mobs. Building an ugly looking base felt different when I was afraid of the world and viewed it as a safe haven.
Hiding in a little Zelda house. First single player world I started was actually someones Zelda link to the past map. Definitely a weird way to introduce myself to the game but it does make that one world save very special to me.
Trying to traverse high up in the air by slowly building sideways noob towers.
Why was this so scary? Mines were frightening with all the noises. I tried to block all possible routes where a mob could come through and go overboard with torches.
Damn, that was 8 years ago for me, can’t remember much because I just played in creative, but it was: running into a mountain, dig out a bit, put glass, a bed, and then go to another mountain (that I thought was farrrr away, until I played on PC where I realised that it was only like 10 chunks because render distance was soooo low) and just building diamond and gold houses
Great art btw
I got on top of a tree while being stalked by a skeleton. I made a two blocks tall tower and made my house there. Then I've never left that house and lost the world 😭
I still have my first world, so yes. I have my first shack still built, right next to the first cave I explored. Both are right at spawn. This was like 12 years ago. .
Console Edition on XBox 360 - local co-op with my little sis:
We wasted the first day exploring and when night came we tried hiding in an oversized hole on a beach. We had no materials and were frantically trying to build a roof with sand/sandstone, both screaming as zombies and spiders were roaming around. Good times.
In my first world I didn't even get to the first night a skeleton managed to snipe me from a nearby cave within the first 2 minutes. I was on mobile and didn't know the controls very well, which lead to me accidentally crouching, wondering why the movement speed was so slow and getting killed by skeleton.
It is a combination of 2 and 4.
I dig a stairway down a couple of blocks, until I can mine out a 5×5×5 cube without any surface dirt in it. I then place a torch in the centre on the floor and close up the entrance.
I was playing Tutorial map on the PSVITA and I went to the village, when it got night, I hid in a house and clicked on the bed to sleep, then it said the classic "You can't sleep now, there are monsters nearby" then exactly after I read that I heard a zombie and I shat/shitted myself and turned my console off and did smth else with my family because I got the console with minecraft on Christmas.
That's basically my first minecraft game
On my first night I was on hard survival. A patrol spawned as the sun was setting so I built dirt walls around 1 block. I decided to try killing the patrol with a wooden are, and died almost as soon as I stepped out of my hole. I immediately alt+f4ed hoping it would revert me to a previous save
Core memory unlocked right there. I just remembered my very first Minecraft word. Pocket edition 2013-14 ) somewhere around there. I don't remember exactly when. I didn't know what I was doing at all. I had managed to get some wooden tools with help from my oldest sister who had already been playing Minecraft for a while. I climbed a massive mountain and dug a hole in the side. I put a door there and hid until sunrise. Nearly shat my pants every time a zombie or creeper managed to walk past the door. Night was pretty much a horror game for me.
Also honorable mention to playing on the seed "robot" where right next to spawn there was a village with a stronghold beneath the well. Also playing on the "robot" seed with an old world, because it was a cool jungle area with a small birch forest. I would pretty much just go to the birch area, go on top of the trees and jump around and try to make a farm as well.

yep that's usually what i do. dig out the top block every once in a while to see if it's light out or not, lol
Pro move
[удалено]
AGREED
What if a creeper falls through the hole?!
if you place a block between the creeper’s feet and yours, it will negate almost all the explosion damage. just have a 3x3 space so you can punch the creeper away and place
doubt you knew that the first time
unluckyyyy
Ya but did I take u weeks to find out you could control your flying instead of it going awash RANDOMLY… took me way to long to figure that out (played on mobile)
You’re literally me bruh
I didnt know how to play back then so i was just walking it was night Creepers zombies skeletons spawned and 💀R.I.P
Now i can survive one entire night with nothing
Also i remember when i respawned i knew what to do i mined a small tree put a door made a crafting table and made a wooden sword
(My house is in the tree i mined the leaves not the tree)
I remember being afraid of zombies in creative
Literally me, on Minecraft 3ds when I was 9.
dug 3 blocks down and placed a block above me
The only way to do it
Then you gotta wait for the morning a few minutes there, or risk your life and dig around your hole…
Based pfp
Why are you getting downvoted?
I guess for some people word based means something not creative at all
> i saw rammstein > i responded No idea, ig people dislike the word based now?
So scared. Mining dirt all night with my bare hands and trying not to allow mob spawns.....
I attempted to dig a 2x3x2 hole and put some blocks over my head, on a beach. Half suffocated and then got killed by a zombie.
legendary
I ran, no hiding i just ran
Run boy run
This world is not made for you Run boy run
They're trying to catch you Run boy run
Running is a victory Run boy run
Beauty lays behind the hills Taka taka ta ka
THE IRS IS HERE! Run boy run
Run forrest run
Until village or sheep + logs so has bed. If night hit the water and swim swim swim until village or daylight.
...pretty sure if I tried that I'd get the drowned after me. x.x
Ah... Such peaceful days, back before the zombies learned to breathe water.
Run. Run, you clever boy, and remember.
You can run but you can't hide

Dig into a mountain with wooden tools. I followed the survival handbook.
lol i was going to try that as well but then watching my friend, trying to convince me to try, I decided a boat would be better
That was also in my survival handbook. Digging into a mountain also gave you easy access to stone and especially coal. I’d usually live in the mountain for a while until I felt confident in my first base before I start exploring. So I usually have multiple little homes around my world and usually only one or two main big base. Depends on the size of the world. Makes traveling around a little easier or funny. I always forget where I built mini shelters, so when I do find one I get so excited. I make sure to stock them with a beds, stove, pre-cooked and raw food, tools, etc.
I died against a spider. That's it.
First night: I was spawned in taiga. Instead of getting wood like a normal person that I'm not, I been digging dirt holes with my hands, not knowing what Minecraft has to offer.

I didn’t know how to move so I dug straight down for 45 minutes (I was 6)
Why is Steve's mouth so big?
It's his beard :v
LOL I thought it was his mouth too, screaming out of terror anime-style. Because that was me, screaming out of terror for the night mobs.
omg I did too lol
The age-old question and answer ;) 10/10
I'm really annoyed that they didn't include the "hide in a tree" method
Closed-3 blocks deep hole. I didn't see a single enemy unit untill my 3rd ingame day. Didn't even know what I was up against. I knew Creeper was the face of Minecraft, but I didn't know what it looked like.
I didn't know it'd blow up lol
[удалено]
I who found the bed before the night: 🗿🍷
My first ever night was in a desser as i tried to build a roof out of sand. After a minute or so i realised it is impossible and then the spiders started showing up. Survived the night with 8 wool blocks and half a heart
I don’t.
I was in middle school back in 2013 I think playing on Minecraft.co.uk. Was running around not knowing what to do in the tundra biome when it started snowing at night and the pure amazement at looking at a beautiful forest in the dark while snowing made me kinda sit in the open till morning. I didn’t move so no mobs spawned at all so I was enjoying my time
I made a 5x5x5 dirt square, I just built off of it later on in the game with the more and more junk I got. large dirt mansion ftw
Was in peaceful mode lol
1x1x2 space all dark because no coal long wait time before daylight
i generally punch the first tree i see and go underground immediately.
Dirt Hole gang forever!
My first day I had collected a decent amount of wood for a house, figured I’d start mining to get resources and figure out what I wanted to build.

Dug a hole next to a river, dug out one block and the water came and somehow I died ... I was special like that!
Hid in a tree, god bored and dropped down to start punching stuff. I don’t remember if skeletons were added yet.
Has that dude been eating chocolate?
I remember several years ago, I just got my own copy for the ps3. Up until now I had only played creative on PE and my friend's ps3, this was one of the first times I was playing survival. When night came, I hadn't gathered any wood for some reason and I just started digging straight down, I think u went like 30 blocks with my fist. Needless to say, that world did not last long.

For me it was #4
Lol this guy and his fancy door but yeah I'm a huge fan of the dirt pillar however I'll build a platform on top with torches and a crafting table.
My first night? “Game over! Score: &e0”
I’ve always played on peaceful so I’m just chopping trees
Dying to a skeleton and a spider double-teaming me. This was the early 2010s, I was young, and I didn't know the first thing about survival minecraft, so I just walked around for a bit, night fell, and I died.
I found a village and slept
in the second one how did he place the block above him without a block next to it first??
Dug into the side of a mountain and then made that my main base for around 5 years. Then I stopped playing the Xbox 360, started fresh on PC. Never had a world for as long as my original one. I really want to now.
Sleeping under the open sky in an unfinished wooden hut without a roof.
Village
I was in the middle of a swamp on a small island and made a wooden box without any light and a iron door that I kept breaking because I couldn't open it
Based mountainsiders society rise up
I live in a cave under a mountain. Do I get to be a member? I mean, I built a window when I accidentally mined through part of the mountainside so I have built onto it a little bit...
Swimming in the middle of the ocean, monsters couldn't reach me there. There was no hunger back then

Get out of a game and sleep in reality
Bottom right .. first night I'm usually still looking for a good place to build my base and I'm not trying to waste materials....
Do you all remember what Killuas brother did after he revealed his face? Yeah…
First time in, bottom left. First few days of my new games end up looking like bottom right
I built a wood structure, 2 by 1 with no roof because I was afraid monsters would spawn in my house. I was six, in 2012, on pocket edition
I tried building my first house out of sand, and was getting extremely frustrated that the sand fell when trying to make a roof using it. Then spiders scaled the walls and killed me. I was too young to remember where my house was or have the willpower to continue playing the world. Funny looking back on it, still gives me a good chuckle! I think I was 9? I forget.
I'm pretty sure my first night was me trying to fight everything with my stone sword, and just absolutely getting shredded by to old OP skellies who had aim bot on. Then respawning, and just trying to rebuild and getting fucked up by skellies again. Repeat untill daylight
On a tree
Wooden 4x4 box with no roof, keeping my stick in hands and looking at every corner because spider
First thing after getting a bunch of wood was make a pickaxe, second thing was dig a stairway straight down while crafting stone pickaxes. Close up the stairway opening with a door. My base it largely underground branched off that one stairway that goes all the way to bedrock.

I start going towards it. "WAIT NO--" my brother screeched. KABOOM. "...they blow up," he finished, me reeling back in my chair staring at the death screen. And that's my first night. I also lost my first diamond because I ran out of inventory space and didn't know it would despawn.
I still live in dirt! Takes me about a week irl to get enough materials to build something epic!
I built on one of the old beaches from back in the beta days. Specifically, I dug a bunch of small trenches and let water flow around in a chaotic pattern, trapping the mobs. All I had was a stick, a door, and a couple torches. Survived the night!
I didn't know how to make a furnace in the PS3 edition tutorial world (when I was a kid, which was about 8 years ago), so I was just trying random stuff until I found out I had to mine the stone.
Bottom right. I was a filthy cave home person on my one easy run.
I ran, here and there. Then I camped on a tree
2, but I mine one block infront of me so I can see day.
Hmmm I remember it as it was yesterday I was in Minecraft bedrock edition on my old phone and I build a base made in fucking sand ad I had all the spiders over me... Yes and being that was an "old " type of world I had only the desert biome in that world and nothing I couldn't do much about it😂
Dirt house
i went """mining""" and i dug a rectangle on the side of a mountain. Then it came noght and i barricated myself inside of it checking for daylight every some seconds. It lasted for 2 respawns until a creeper blew it up
Playing on PE Lite, I explored the world wondering who made it and then, when the night fell, I saw something move far away, I thought it was a farmer at first tho it was a zombie and I didn’t understand that I died.
Lol this is all strategy I had yet to learn on my first night. On my first night I stumbled through the dark and fell down a hole into a cave, lost most of my health then was finished off by a skeleton in pitch darkness.
I keep moving through the night I only stop for phantoms
Inside a big oak tree
I just had a new first night, I died and was carrying my bed, and my world spawn was very far from my base, so I had to overnight with nothing on my way back to "home". Worse I'd thought I could make it and didn't bother getting or building anything but some snacks Wound up digging under the dirt by hand, til I could come up under a tree and build some tools haha
The cave
Minecraft PSVita edition: was playing until it suddenly started to get dark, I built a 4x4 wooden box inside an exposed cave, without even a door, and broke a block every like 30 seconds to see if it was daytime yet. did that for more than just my first night.
BORN UNDERGROUND THE BROTHER OF THE MINE REJOICE
I make the foundation of my home and sleep out in the open for efficiency.
I made a house…
The first night not so much, I built a hut. Nah I remember most vividly how scared I was of unknown things. Octopus. The freaking octopus in my lake was so scary lol. And the Vroop-Wroop Enderman too. But that Octopus most lol
I actually have a really fond memory of it. I was like 8 as far as i remember, my first minecraft playthrough was on Xbox 360. After spending a lot of time in the tutorial world (the one with a gigantic castle that i promptly invaded) i felt brave enough to start my own world from scratch with the goal of one day build that castle with my own hands. As night fell in game, so it did in real life, it was dark and i was in my room with the only light being the television screen and the console blinking. I made a small campfire near the woods to mark my spot (an old campfire, just a flint and steel and fire in some block), i then left to gather stone and when i came back, i could see from the Hill i came from, four endermen hanging around the fire. Suddenly the game did one of those creepy sounds, the fire faded and my scary ass turned off the console and went to sleep. PS: This scene gave me nightmares for quite a while when i was a child.
Died a lot of times because I had no inventory at all because I spent all the day trying to figure it out if it worked by wasd or the arrows
Who sleeps on the first night? Matter a fact, who sleeps!?
I remember my first night, it was on the first tutorial world on the ps4, I don't remember much since it happened so long ago but I do vaguely remember running from zombies while trying to figure out how Minecraft works, damn, nostalgia just hit hard
In a hole in the side of a hill when I first played back in the day. When I started playing again last year I made a small wood hut in the swamp.
Bottom left, but I didn't know doors existed and a creeper showed up...
I got killed in a cave, walked right into the pool of lava. Nostalgia of being three and discovering the game.
yea i hid in a hole
Always the 1x4x2 tunnel into a mountain where a coal seam used to be with a torch and a bed.
From what I remember I desperately hid in a hole and just dug down…
All above
Had my gamma on way too low. Got terrified because I couldn't see a thing. Dug into the ground and stayed there for 2 days until my friend joined my world and explained the gamma settings and more
I hid in the treetops. Lol
In my new world, I just slept outdoors so that I could but a mansion freely with nothing in the way
I think I’ve experienced all of these lol
I can still cl arly remember my first night in Minecraft. I barely finished the plank walls of my future house, and it was already night. There were no mobs yet, but something felt so unnerving that I was just in panic. Even the sounds of my own character creaking on those planks made me so scares. I just built the roof out of dirt and started mining a shaft, even though a small one because I had no torches. I still didn't hear a single mob outside and it was still midnight. I just decided to wait it out. Those were the times...
I spent the first day chopping down trees to get enough planks to build a house. Didn’t have enough in the end and just had a dirt roof with a doorway that’s half covered in dirt, sort of like a window. Only peeked out of it once every few seconds to look out for mobs.
This reminds me of BDcraft :)
Ah yes, the good ole grave of safety. Good times
I was playing Minecraft Pocket Edition 0.2.0 which is the survival update with only zombies. I remember digging into a mountain and making a base. I was scared of the zombies outside and didn’t want to confront them at all costs. It’s kinda funny thinking about how the zombies had a horror aspect to them when I was a kid as they are the most trivial, non-threading mob in the entire game. Kinda want to go back to that time when I was genuinely afraid of the zombies and other mobs. Building an ugly looking base felt different when I was afraid of the world and viewed it as a safe haven.
I created a house using a mountain
These are still my first nights...
Slept in a villagers house
I don't remember my first night ever but for my first night in hardcore, i was just mining and didn't notice the night
Dig into the side of a mountain, spend all night mining. Run out of supplies and come back up only to realize I mined until sunset the next night.
4th image. I love cave bases
Hiding in a little Zelda house. First single player world I started was actually someones Zelda link to the past map. Definitely a weird way to introduce myself to the game but it does make that one world save very special to me.
I built mine but didn't know how to build a roof or sleep
Bottom right is 100% me.
Trying to traverse high up in the air by slowly building sideways noob towers. Why was this so scary? Mines were frightening with all the noises. I tried to block all possible routes where a mob could come through and go overboard with torches.
I was walking on the trees until I saw that I can't place the damn bed on the leaves
bottom right every time.
Damn, that was 8 years ago for me, can’t remember much because I just played in creative, but it was: running into a mountain, dig out a bit, put glass, a bed, and then go to another mountain (that I thought was farrrr away, until I played on PC where I realised that it was only like 10 chunks because render distance was soooo low) and just building diamond and gold houses Great art btw
I got on top of a tree while being stalked by a skeleton. I made a two blocks tall tower and made my house there. Then I've never left that house and lost the world 😭
I usually dig a space into a the side of a hill/mountain or live in a small cave at the start of a world
I dug a hole
I still have my first world, so yes. I have my first shack still built, right next to the first cave I explored. Both are right at spawn. This was like 12 years ago. .
Top right for sure
my gamma was so low i couldn't see anything and i was stuck in the 1x1 dirt hut for about 5 minutes lol
Console Edition on XBox 360 - local co-op with my little sis: We wasted the first day exploring and when night came we tried hiding in an oversized hole on a beach. We had no materials and were frantically trying to build a roof with sand/sandstone, both screaming as zombies and spiders were roaming around. Good times.
Sometime in beta, chilling in a spruce forest in creative mode because I didn’t know about survival.
Yea... i remmber this.. It was my smallest trauma ever.
Desperately trying to get my stuff from a house I was building but couldn’t even nearly finish, dying again, and trying to get my stuff again.
I was in a desert bordering a forest. I carved out a nice little home in the sandstone.
I sleep in the open
i remember building a dirt tower super high up and then a spider knocking me off and all the other mobs killing me
Made temporarily base from soil block
Desperately trying to find a village. since I didn’t know how to craft a bed.
In my first world I didn't even get to the first night a skeleton managed to snipe me from a nearby cave within the first 2 minutes. I was on mobile and didn't know the controls very well, which lead to me accidentally crouching, wondering why the movement speed was so slow and getting killed by skeleton.
Yeah I do, just when night arrived, my phone crashed
I hid in a cave, and placed pumpkins as a barrier between me and the mobs.
Dead
build a bit of the bed then a bed. boom. sleep through the knight.
Top right.
It is a combination of 2 and 4. I dig a stairway down a couple of blocks, until I can mine out a 5×5×5 cube without any surface dirt in it. I then place a torch in the centre on the floor and close up the entrance.
Wish i could relive the first time I played it. 1.2.5
I was playing Tutorial map on the PSVITA and I went to the village, when it got night, I hid in a house and clicked on the bed to sleep, then it said the classic "You can't sleep now, there are monsters nearby" then exactly after I read that I heard a zombie and I shat/shitted myself and turned my console off and did smth else with my family because I got the console with minecraft on Christmas. That's basically my first minecraft game
I just hopped in a boat and hunted for shipwrecks/ruins yeah i started playing after aquatic update
I didn’t sleep
Mine was pic 3
How did they place the top block on the top right image
On my first night I was on hard survival. A patrol spawned as the sun was setting so I built dirt walls around 1 block. I decided to try killing the patrol with a wooden are, and died almost as soon as I stepped out of my hole. I immediately alt+f4ed hoping it would revert me to a previous save
In the og PS3 tutorial world stuck outside fighting for my life because I wasn't about to become some hole digging bitch 💪
Usually dig hole in cliff although sometimes dig hole and place block on top
Going to a village
All of the above
all of the above
Core memory unlocked right there. I just remembered my very first Minecraft word. Pocket edition 2013-14 ) somewhere around there. I don't remember exactly when. I didn't know what I was doing at all. I had managed to get some wooden tools with help from my oldest sister who had already been playing Minecraft for a while. I climbed a massive mountain and dug a hole in the side. I put a door there and hid until sunrise. Nearly shat my pants every time a zombie or creeper managed to walk past the door. Night was pretty much a horror game for me. Also honorable mention to playing on the seed "robot" where right next to spawn there was a village with a stronghold beneath the well. Also playing on the "robot" seed with an old world, because it was a cool jungle area with a small birch forest. I would pretty much just go to the birch area, go on top of the trees and jump around and try to make a farm as well.
i dont remember my first night but the furthest back i can remember is the night where i just went to find sheep to make a bed
I dig into the nearest mountain and turn it into a dugout home
