I'm listening to a few songs from the
Minecraft - Volume Alpha album. Sure, they've been around for a while, and I know quite a few people find them boring, because these are quite slow-paced songs for the most part. Still, there's something so relaxing to them...
They make me remember a few memories of my past Minecraft worlds. One of the houses I build on top of a hill, there'd be clouds going by, the walls were mixed cobble and stone. It was quite a small place that barely had any aesthetic to it, you could even see the hill on the other side through the window! I don't remember getting much further in the game in that world, I don't think I even made a portal to the Nether. There's also my oldest Minecraft world, which is probably still on a computer somewhere at my aunt's house. I don't remember much about it other than it had a house somewhere in mid-air, it was made of Acacia I think?
Then there's my "current" survival world, which I haven't done anything to it since 1.7. Another small house on top of a hill. This one, I didn't really like as much to be honest. This is probably when I started getting bored of playing single-player Minecraft.
There was also the Jul server III. Before this, I had played Minecraft through slightly-less offical manners such as demos and alternative launchers. This server was what made me buy Minecraft for real, and I enjoyed it while it was still active. I ended up missing the first few days or weeks (and I wasn't happy that I got there sort of late). Then there's CaffieCraft...which I guess is where I'm at now.
I guess the really fun part of Minecraft for me is the beginning, really, starting up, looking at the world around you, exploring places to find somewhere to settle down, adventuring in general. There's something about the environment sometimes, it's just so peaceful. Some of the places had such an atmosphere that I actually felt like I wanted to sit there, somewhere and appreciate the scenery.
...
I dunno why suddenly I'm so nostalgic about everything.
I guess I can also take this time to listen to the songs from the album that aren't in the game. They're...weirdly different from the rest.
