    Similar boat for me, although I only played Java.

    Started on 1.5.2 and was on that for ages as it was a cracked Portacraft instance going around by USB at school.

    1.7.2 was the first update I ever had, when I finally got home broadband, and it felt like the biggest update had just landed. 1.7.x is always a soft spot for me, it’s nice going back in those versions occasionally, getting to full endgame with farms, with that classic enchantment glint, being excited over dark oak, acacia, stained glass, hardened clay.

      Yass…

      Gotta love school shenanigans haha! Sending people memes via Bluetooth, and finding/sharing these proxy websites that bypassed net security so everyone could access games during the day.

      I think being back in those earlier versions reminds us of our lives then, full of naïveté, lacking responsibility and plenty of free time and comfort.
