Can't talk about alpha, but beta world generation was perfect before 1.8.
I played the kyoto seed and it was so fun to tame the world that looked kinda like Hunan Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.

MODERATORS
definitely this sort of "lonely" feel that the old versions have because structures used to be rare and isolated
i also like how beta minecraft feels a whole lot more relaxing and laid back compared to modern minecraft, where i feel constantly rushed to enslave villagers and kill the ender dragon and get the elytra and get all the sharpness 357 fortune 77348 netherite tools in only 100 dAyS hArDcOrE as if i was another one of those dumb minecraft youtubers with mrbeast editing that are everywhere nowadays or a wealthy capitalist that only cares about exploiting the everliving fuck out of everyone and everything
oh yeah,and nights used to be an actual threat before sprinting was added, that was cool too
For me Beta 1.7.3 was perfect. No hunger, no XP, no magic/enchanting. It was a game about surviving and building cool shit. These days I play the Better than Adventure mod for that version which keeps the same feeling while adding some nice new features
Getting lost in caves and not even thinking about digging straight up to get out again. Back when survival first came out. I remember when the game was just dirt and flowers.
Logging onto my web browser and building in a server full of friendly people.
And then in solo survival, the feeling that the game was something so brand new and revolutionary. Once in a generation opportunity. I felt so lucky.
I believe your talking about https://classic.minecraft.net/.
It still works, but without multiplayer.
Beds really changed the whole game.
Building a base didn't just mean a place to put your chests, it also had to be a place worth spending the whole night in. I cared a lot about making the interior a nice place to be. And the exterior of the base had to be a good fort too because you couldnt skip all the monster spawns at night.
Back then I took minecraft to be like a fort building game. Explore by day and craft by night. The first night I spent huddled in a small dark grave i dug for myself in a wall. It taught me that a good base was important.
I think beds were added in the halloween update if i remember right. I was blown away how they skipped monster spawning. That's when I felt the game changed direction the hardest, because you no longer needed a base to survive.
You should have a veteran cape.
Playing with my friends when we were younger 🥲
Dont mind me or my lemmy instance.
