Obscurum
So yeah, I started playing minecraft around 2013 and everything was great! The wasn'nt a huge community, Minecraft did not have merch, toys, or the coin system (Bedrock). After school i played minecraft, watched Minecraft related content on YouTube, and talked with my friends about it. Times were simple, no worries about stuff. Played on some servers. Build castles and houses. You know the drill. But things started changing as time passed by. Exploiters came in, Salty kids came in. And bad updates.
One of my best moments was in 2015 where me and my friends build a huge base where we would hang out. We would play minigames on servers such as the Hunger games. in 2016 i would learn about mods. Me and my friends would test them out and have adventures. I wish it still was
2013-2016. I loved those times, now everything has changed.

~ This is going to be a bit long.
I also played around 2013, and I think the first ever version I played on was 1.6.4. My friends introduced me to the game, and I remember wanting to open up my laptop every day after school and have an all-nighter just playing with them. Sadly, most of them don't play anymore and have moved on to other games. I even stopped playing around mid-2015 due to stressors in school, but I recently came back. I started watching my favorite MC YouTubers again, and though I am nearing adulthood, I feel like a child when I start playing this game, which I must say is a nice break from all the responsibilities of entering a new phase in life; I am not avoiding them, however.
My best moment was when I got to be an "adult" in the game—ironic, I know— and what I mean by this is that I applied for a staff application on a server and got accepted. I spent a decent amount of hours on my application, unlike the ones who were just spamming that part of the forums jeez (>.>). I think I was 14 at that time and was one of the younger people to get accepted; if my memory serves me right, there was even a person who was 12 and still got accepted, even though the age for applying was 14. Certain exceptions were made; I talked with him and I was surprised he had a matured (this term is subjective; I thought he was and still do) mindset. That experience with being part of the staff taught me a whole plethora of lessons, and I think that was partly due to us not being in the same age group. Though a few of us were below 18 at the time, there were actual adults in this game; the eldest, I believe, was around 30-ish. Adults—could you believe it?! My younger self couldn't haha. I really thought this game was just for kids. We talked and shared a lot, and through this exchange of experiences, I grew to realize how much responsibility weighs in on a person, whether it be in-game or in real life. Most of them did their job pretty well (a notable few weren't really worthy of role model status), and it pressured the rest of us young ones to do the same. I learned how to deal with the randomness of strangers lol, and I've realized that on servers like these, it's not just a rank; some people will look at your tag and admire you for it, and some will hate you for just having that role. Frankly, there's nothing one can do but to just accept it and move on. However, a server wouldn't be your typical MC server without some sort of lapse in judgment and abuse of power. As I had mentioned before, certain members of the team weren't really worth admiration because they were the ones who started and condoned misbehavior (e.g. duplicating items through abuse of creative mode powers). They would eventually be removed though. I never really made it far in terms of rank (I was Helper) and when a year had passed, I resigned due to my laptop breaking down, thus rendering me unable to play, and the amount of work that was piling up at school. I couldn't maintain a balance.
The game has taught me some useful, let's say, "life tips" through being able to connect and play with other people. It has changed my life to a degree, and I wouldn't know who I would be or what my attitude would be like if I didn't get to experience this game. Right now, I'm loving how people are coming back to Minecraft all of a sudden, and how new people are just getting a taste of the game. It's true that times have changed, and it's no longer the game we knew back then, but change is inevitable and is constant. Minecraft is going to keep evolving until its eventual end.

heheee .. i learned english thanks to watching minecraft videos nonstop and playing it nonstop as a kid. thanks to my cousin playing it while i watched i took an interest in it. i remember listening to 2010s summer hit songs while building around a village in my superflat world.. a huge rollercoaster, shops and houses... i was sad about being all alone with minecraft as my fixation as a kid because nobody else liked it, but my loneliness is besides the point. i never had any sort of servers i played in or mods i used, i simply spent half of my week building in my worlds.
honestly the worst times for minecraft were in 2016 and such because people mocked it and the people that played it, good thing people realized again that minecraft is indeed a really good game
what i hate is the seperation between java and bedrock, it is quite painful. i hate the minecoins stuff as i think it isnt used correctly in a respectable manner, but my biggest issue is having to deal with the pains that come from being in the smaller, less populated part of the community aka bedrock. It sucks that they had to be seperate, mods and stuff exclusively for java make me feel sad! i just want to play and have fun with everybody and that definetly includes my java playing friends!
bless this game for existing, it had a lot of good effect on me
