I miss when the animals would spawn around torches at night.
I miss when creepers were awesome.
I miss when there wasn't any jungle biome.
I miss no nether.
I miss minecraft being unbeatable.
I miss hostile mobs spawning on clear blocks like glass.
I miss knowing every crafting recipe there ever was (now there is just too many).
