In 2010 we stumbled upon an indie game that had sold less than a million copies in Alpha...and oddly enough - it required us to pay in Euro to start playing. However we are very glad we jumped in...

To say Minecraft left an impression on me and Dan over the past decade would be a massive understatement.  This was a game that had a Co-Op survival mode we truly fell in love with LONG before it was "finished" or ever sold its FIRST100 Million copies.  So, we will be talking about!

Leave your comments, questions, and anecdotes related to Minecraft below - and we just might read them on air as we discuss a game that left a huge mark on gaming.

Everyone remembers the first dirt hut or hidey hole they built to escape the night. BTW i started in 2011 in Beta 1.7.3.

I love playing it with my partner and my 5yr old. But I do think it Mojang are very slow at modernising or fixing anything with the game.

My favourite Minecraft Youtuber plays on a 9900k and a 2080ti so I told my mom that I need a 9900k and a 2080ti to play Minecraft! In all seriousness: I play Minecraft (Java edition) constantly and it's a stuttery mess - especially in my main area with all my redstone machines and villager dungeon. Why is this game so poorly optimized, even with companies throwing huge bags of cash at Mojang?

I've hear rumors that the algorithm used to generate backgrounds in the original TRON movie was used as the base for the algorithm to generate the world in Minecraft. Can anyone confirm this?

What is the biggest PoS computer you've played Mincraft on? I remember playing on my grandmas' old Dell latitude D600 w/ a pentium and 512MB of DEDIDATED WAM and having to turn the view distance down to the minimum to even get 15fps.

Imagine playing any modern version of minecraft i get 200+ fps in my beta 1.7.3 world

Guberian

in all seriousness, servers are severely unoptimized because chunks which make up the world are generated in a single thread which means large player counts are impossible.

Minecraft an amazing game that you play every year for 1 to 2 weak with friends plan to make greatt thing and then get bored becues your to much OP and forgot about that XD

For someone who has not played Minecraft since first big update (adventure mode I think it was called), what new systems or content have been added to the overall experience? Many people are familiar more with the building aspect of the game and a light combat system, do you think a more in-depth heavy combat system is needed? What direction do you see them going in the future? More tailored experience (Quest/exploration) based content or more traditional combat-story based content?

Mojang making minecraft not feel like simple block game anymore with each update

Atholon x64 with Nvidia integrated graphics on the motherboard. Though I think it did have 2 GB of RAM so that helped. I still did have to play on the absolute lowest settings to get 20 fps

With the radical innovations and political turmoil in the tech institutions of today, I've often pondered on one question. Should I start playing Minecraft?

My personal love letter to Minecraft comes from the modding community, which has literally provided me with thousands of hours of gameplay through mod packs like Feed the Beast. Modders are constantly pushing boundaries adding new content, and Minecraft has one of the largest modding communities in gaming as a result. Some of the most incredible work currently being done is with Sodium, which makes Minecraft far more efficient by providing better OpenGL translation layers and more efficient rendering. The modder is quite literally doing more than Mojang as a whole to optimize the game, which really shows how difficult Mojang has found it to optimize the code and how dedicated the modding fanbase is.

My question for you and Dan is: "if you could improve one part of Minecraft what would you do?" I'd say it's still one of the greatest sandbox games ever. Currently I am on a huge Minecraft binge where I hop on after work and just decompress. I think there are a few obvious flaws with the "adventure and exploration" aspects of the game in 2020 that mods do fix. But it looks like they are on their way to be fixed. I think a lot of people enjoy playing the survival for the first 4 hours then get bored once they've reached a point where they can sustain themselves indefinitely. And that's where I hope they start to put more effort into with maybe more complicated dungeons, like "Minecraft dungeons" and more interesting biomes and dimensions.

An odd choice, MC was never my cupatea, but this comes from a shooter player. Nevertheless I wll listen to what you have to say

I started playing minecraft in 2010. I was 12. I wasn't too good at school, I didn't have many good friends at the time, and, on top of it, it was lagging like hell. But it didn't matter. I needed diamonds. And iron, for minecarts. Turns out, that lag was a good thing: I started researching PC components, what made a PC perform better in games, etc., and by the age of 14, I had upgraded the graphics card on the family PC to play minecraft with all the bells and whistles, shaders, as well as high res textures. I was already planning to make myself a full build, featuring the (very sufficient at the time) Bulldozer FX 8120. I was getting better and better at networking and stting up servers, too ;) Fast forward a couple years, and I'm working in IT, studying data science, managing a minecraft server for the CompSc Student union, have several good friends with which I have played minecraft with over the years, and am living my best life. What has minecraft changed in your life, other than gaming? Did you learn anything, either technically or philosophically, from this game? Cheers Larry

I started playing Minecraft 1.2.5 when I was about 8 or 9 years old. I had watched PailsoaresJr’s “How to Survive and Thrive” series and had fallen in love with the game. I built stuff for weeks! Then, I discovered the Yogscast’s various Tekkit series... I asked my dad to download the Technic launcher for me, since I didn’t understand computers yet. Once we had Tekkit installed, I didn’t leave the computer for two days! I just built and built and built the industrial mega factory of my dreams: oil well, item generator, super smelter, quarries, all the organized piping... I loved it. Then they added power armour! :O But then, one day, they stopped updating Tekkit. The mid pack has been stuck on 1.7 for years now and I don’t enjoy it as much, since it’s not up to date... I’d love to do a survival playthrough with those mods, but they’re just not up to date :(. Now, I play Minecraft every 6 months or so for a couple of weeks, get self-sustainable in survival mode, start building an awesome base, then forget about the game again. I miss being able to play the game with friends!

I'm 37 now. So the game was released roughly when I was 27. So I didn't really fall into the main demographic. I was only happy that "the kids" could play and be excited about a game that had the graphic quality of a game that I played as a kid - now only in 3D. Forward to 2018 and I was, and still am playing the game. See I have a six-year-old son. He lured me into buying a copy for him and that's one of our favourite son-and-father pastimes. Great game.

When I first played around 2010 I was poor and had a hacked version haha. (Don't worry, I bought the real game) But yeah I was pretty hooked since. For the first time very recently I began trying out Parkour and Bed Wars, and other online modes that have been a lot of fun... And also incredibly frustrating! Pretty fantastic what they've been able to do with the game.

i just ordered a ryzen 3 3100 for hosting my dedicated minecraft server, the r3 1200 wasnt cutting it for modded minecraft. we recently started using vive craft (around 4-6 players is the usual peak load, sometimes as many as 10 people) and it was just too much for it to handle. also the extra threads will allow for hosting of other games like terraria, starbound, space engineers, or 7 days to die, ect simultaneously without much if any performance impact for most of them. the plan is to use virtual machines for each individual server so they can grab their own cores and be sandboxed. also the first time i expierenced minecraft was on a pentium 4, i had to do render distance 4 and 480p using optifine to get to 30fps but the memories i made are still some of the fondest i hold to this day. i still have my worlds all the way back to 2012 do you guys have any fond memories that come to mind?

if i may offer my own opinion even though this directed at the hosts: i think thats just part of the game, minecrafts difficulty curve doesnt come from the mobs being super powerful or the world being overly hazardous, minecraft is a game that emphasizes exploration and creativity, and while items and levels don't confer world to world your knowledge and expierenced as a player does, and i think its just a sign if growth as the player, and in a way i think its fitting that the game can be so easy if you just know how it works. it may even be canon in a sort of meta way that this is how minecrafts difficulty is intended to work if you go by the commentary in the credit sequence. sorry awful lot of speculation for a kids game lol
