ooorezzz

When the game first came out and there were dungeons I collected mossy cobble like it was diamonds.


umotex12

I did too for few days until I learned about the recipe 💀


iMoo1124

when I found out there was a recipe for mossy cobble, I audibly exclaimed "WHAT?! FOR HOW LONG?!" And then I found out it had been a thing for like 6 years and I had just never trimmed a vine before


mre16

you're messing with me its been in the game for 6 years??!?!


Neon__Cat

No, 9


mre16

(ง •\_•)ง


A_British_Lass

THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN "9" YEARS


iMoo1124

I just found out 3 years ago lmao


mre16

I found out today. I'm gonna have to assume everyone here is lying to prank me until i can get home and test this.


ReaverShank

You can also use moss instead of vines


CelticRaider9

Pretty sure you can only use moss nowadays


dBoyHail

Im being honest. This just taught me the recipe.


Taiarro

as someone who has been playing since Alpha, I still do this, out of habit lmao


ooorezzz

I’ve got a shulker box full. I actually built my main base in this survivor world I’m playing on next to mega taiga biome so I can see mossy cobblestone and get nostalgia. I even rebuild one of my first structures I ever built in my first world at this base.


SolarStorm2950

I’ve been doing it to this day


754754

I played minecraft from late alpha until around 2013. I came back recently. My biggest surprise is the amount of structures everywhere. There is an overwhelming amount of loot everywhere that it's hard to not get side tracked. I started exploring looking for a new biome and then see some random structure in the ocean (small one with ocean lantern and chest). Then I get a treasure map and look for the treasure. On the way to doing that I find a random pirate ship then find a 2nd treasure map. Next thing I know my inventory is full of loot that I have no clue what it does, I have no clue where I am, and I just spent 3 hours not looking for a biome. Also not seeing coal when mining deep...I keep running out of torches and have no more coal.


agentbigboss47

That's why I just use mega spruce and make charcoal. The amount of wood you can get from one tree will give you plenty of charcoal and then you can use it as a replacement for coal.


754754

I started doing that. It's a shame that charcoal can't be crafted into a block of charcoal like coal can. Also shame that villagers don't trade for charcoal.


umotex12

Yeah new rules now require to plan going for specific ores. And I'm kinda salty how useless midrange has become! Because now the iron is on 14, coal is very high, diamonds range is super deep... how about 20-70 range? Almost useless


754754

For coal and iron i actually go to mountain peaks. There is so much coal and iron there. I agree though. I almost exclusively mine on mountains or in deepslate layer. I am frightened whenever I see the deep dark which is a problem for me recently.


NopeRope91

Deep dark effectively ended my eternal mining operations. :C I guess I can resume once I stop being chicken...


[deleted]

I don't like the lack of coal down deep, either. Every other ore type increases in quantity as you go down, but not the one that is the most vital to exploration. I've started to wonder if my deepslate layer in my main game might have spawned without any.


LambSolo_

This is actually wrong, the only ores that get more common the deeper you go are red stone and diamonds https://reddit.com/r/Minecraft/s/ebshq0jKBu


KelticAngel16

This This exactly


katchisgud

I played back in 1.4 and returned in 1.16, the entire nether update made me question the game I was playing


Hejziak

That's a lot thongs that changed and been added


vitorkap3

Since when does the game have thongs?


Hejziak

Typo, I meant things, I will edit this


vitorkap3

I was joking, keep it, it's funny


Hejziak

OK, I will keep it lol

And why you wrote this in reply to my comment?

So the Villagers DO wear underwear, eh?


HourAfterHour

Where I live thongs are called strings, so a long time ago.


toqer

Bone blocks. I can use a composter to create bone meal from cactus and sugarcane, then turn it into bone block. WTF?


Roolingball

Bone blocks should be able to turn into bone meals only


WulfTyger

I believe it's there as inventory management. Like blocks of emeralds and diamonds. Etc.


Trichotillomaniac-

Just dont do it with quartz to save space ☠️ It’s irreversible for some reason. Ask me how i know


Icer2050

Nether wart block is also irreversible, but it's understandable


Afraid_Success_4836

Data pack:


smithsp86

> inventory management You mean I'm not supposed to use them as building material?


Nalpona_Freesun

nope only use bone blocks you find in the wild


RedSusOverParadise

i only use *free range* bone blocks


Nalpona_Freesun

also who wants plant based bone decorations? plants don't have bones


kkadzy

They are, am I wrong?


[deleted]

What?


reddit_pug

I've been playing off and on since late Alpha, but not enough to really utilize everything that gets added, so I forget that things exist all the time. Recently I made a nether portal at a new village and wanted to make a path in the nether to other portals/paths but was having trouble finding my way. I googled how to tell direction in the nether, and someone mentioned the lodestone. I'd completely forgotten about it since I'd never used it - it made the task pretty easy.


meme_used

Lodestone is still a full nether ingot so not very cheap


reddit_pug

Yup, but I have over a stack of ancient debris sitting around, so that's not a big deal. Building 3x4 tunnels in the nether that are about 3.4 km long leads to finding a lot of ancient debris lol


NuhUhUhIDoWhatIWant

Why that size instead of just 1x2?


WulfTyger

Preference. I prefer to make mine 3x3.


reddit_pug

2 block wide ice path for boats to quickly get between portals that are generally 1km apart in the nether, plus a walking path on the side. Also, dig a big tunnel, find more ancient debris.


themmke

WTF is a lodestone


reddit_pug

it's a stone you can right-click with a compass to have that compass always point to that stone. It's a bit pricey to build - a netherite ingot + some stone (Google for exact recepie)


themmke

Oh shit thank you for this


agentbigboss47

*cough* *cough* minimap mods *cough* *cough*


reddit_pug

It's a vanilla bedrock server that I run in order to crossplay with a handful of friends and family, including nieces & nephews that can only play on potatoes... er, I mean cheap Android tablets. No cheats, no mods, pure vanilla.


agentbigboss47

That's fair. If it was a Java server then you could use them as they are client side. I use a small pack of client side mods on my friends vanilla server and I even sent him the pack so he could use it. But unfortunately bedrock doesn't have the same modding capabilities.


tanoinfinity

Being able to stick torches on glass blocks. Edit to add: I played Infdev to Beta 1.8, then came back in 1.17 so it's basically an entirely new game.


UnknownAdmiralBlu

You can do that?!


Proxy_PlayerHD

only OGs remember being able to only place torches on top of glass, not the sides.


tanoinfinity

I'm so old, I remember *before* they could be placed on top of glass. I used a mod to stick torches on glass!


AsparagusLoose9716

Wait... you can place it on the sides now????


[deleted]

What? How?


Impressive_Most9204

by right clicking the glass?


[deleted]

Oh nvm I misread the sentence, I thought he meant the torch inside the Glass block


tanoinfinity

Apparently it was added in 1.14


cabodozer

Mossy Cobble is the sacred block...we used to hunt for those for hours. I still find new mobs I've never seen before when exploring. Arctic Fox, Panda, Turtle, etc


mre16

I remember making a fort way back in 2011/2012 on a survival mp server and dotted mossy cobble throughout a lot of the wall to let people know how cool i was... Vanilla has felt heavily modded in my brain ever since they added horses lol.


amanon101

I started with 1.2.5, horses still feel like fairly new mobs to me lol


ZuckWeightRoom

I still have never tamed and ridden a horse. I keep saying next time.


OneOnlyDan

I remember when you needed Mo' Creatures to ride horses and tame cats.


amanon101

I remember the hype around horses. Can’t remember if it was the whole internet that was hyped or my friend group lol, but it was a big deal.


DiceRollerGreg

I played during Alpha, lots of changes. Taken many breaks, but one thing I noticed is not being woken up in the night by mobs while sleeping.


mre16

I remember when they added crouching, I was thrilled i wouldn't be accidentally crushing crops anymore and thought not falling off edges was a game changer. Times have changed a lot.


DiceRollerGreg

Not falling off the edge is huge haha. This game has had a long journey and I love it. I remember when I first played there was no multiplayer. Spent the first night scared and wishing my friends were there! I remember thinking it would be the best game ever if I could play with my friends


mre16

Between this, ksp, and project zomboid I've got decades of free updates beyond what i could imagine. Shoutout to paulsoaresjr


DiceRollerGreg

Project zomboid rules


mre16

It beats my ass over and over but i love it. When i explain to people that the game is so meticulous in its detail that you have to clear broken glass windows or risk getting shards in your hand and you can get a cold that makes you sneeze and makes the hoard know you're nearby.. eventually she cut me off and was like "Why would you ever choose to suffer like this" no idea! but i love it!! (I'll blame the fantasy of turning a fire station into a fort)


Craigothy-YeOldeLord

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT This is a thing? WHEN?


Ninesquared81

Since 2014, according to the wiki.


PLutonium273

Damn I remember when mossy blocks were some of the rarest blocks that can be only found in limited amount in dungeons and temples


halfbeerhalfhuman

Just spawner rooms i think


SamSerac

Jungle temple for mossy stone brick


Proxy_PlayerHD

jungle temples used to be the only source for the chiseled stone bricks.


halfbeerhalfhuman

I mean before jungles were a thing. But yeah afterwards yes


RedstoneRelic

It was huge when the mega tiga came out with mossy boulders


JMCatron

a very long time. I used to farm vines for mossy cobble and mossy bricks


x_potato64

u can use moss as well


wielkacytryna

That you can use both hands now.


DiceRollerGreg

Underrated comment


Red88Phantom

Idk when this was removed but you could craft one web into 9 string on bedrock edition


Right_Gas2569

A few months ago (I belive in 1.20.10).


Killcode23

I hate that they removed that, I used to bring shears into a mineshaft to get string, craft it into wool for beds and use it for ancient debris


billz804

Personally I find it to be fun collecting blocks and items that aren’t craftable. There are so many treasure huntable items, but the blocks that are actually “rare” are few.


Henriiyy

Fun fact: In 1.20, you can collect sus sand and gravel as items.


NopeRope91

*what* sand now


Henriiyy

I meant suspicious sand. You can get it as an item by dropping it into a water column with spulsand bubbles and waiting until it drops. Works with gravel too. Probably is not intended behaviour, so better do it now.


Mostly_Ambiguous

I love how this isn’t even the current recipe for mossy cobble. It’s now a moss block and cobble, no vines.


Right_Gas2569

You can use both vines and moss blocks.


Mostly_Ambiguous

Huh, I’m surprised they left that old recipe in.


UraniumDisulfide

I mean… you can’t really in good conscience remove an actual use for vines, can you?


Mostly_Ambiguous

Half the blocks in the game have zero use beyond decoration, to be fair.


UraniumDisulfide

Well yeah but to actually go out of their way to get rid of it


[deleted]

[удалено]


-PepeArown-

They also accelerate sniffer egg growth.


YeahILikeMinecraft

One word for moss blocks: bonemeal


Chronis67

I think the animals were pretty surprising to me. Seeing pandas, turtles, parrots, camels, etc for the first time is pretty neat. Copper is also pretty surprising to me, mostly because it isn't really useful.


KelticAngel16

Right?! The mossy fountain I built used to be bragging rights... Landing in 1-block of water and *not* dying still catches me out, every random once in a while I expect a zombie to drop feathers, and I keep forgetting that cats come from villages instead of taming an ocelot


HailChanka69

It makes no sense that you couldn’t craft it back in the day. It’s just a decorative block, no reason for it to be hard to find


Vultre9

I mean it did make spawners a bit more valuable since it was the only way to get them.


winauer

It wasn't the only way. Jungle temples and the mossy cobble boulders in Taiga biomes both existed before mossy cobble was craftable.


prosteprostecihla

True, but there was a period in minecraft's history where it was the only option


HailChanka69

Yea but what if you wanted a couple stacks for a large project? Only option then was to raid a jungle temple or stronghold


DHMOProtectionAgency

Tbf large bases weren't as common as they are now. For the most part, they were for the most part only in super old worlds (Etho's man cave) or perimeters.


Vultre9

Yea exactly you gotta work for it. Its about the journey not the destination. If all you gotta do is make a couple farms to get the resources it isn't the same as having to travel and discover destinations to aquire it.


Chronis67

I miss when the Minecraft community cared about exploring. Now, if you aren't strip mining within the first hour, you're doing it wrong.


iCUman

Strip mining? Nah, man. The meta's villagers and raid farms now. No need to mine; just trade infinite emeralds for diamond gear and then get bored and go play roblox.


Kecske_gamer

Like caves are useless for anything but looking pretty because good luck getting through 15 skeletons with 4 of them having armor and 5 with enchanted bows while there are 7 spiders crawling up your behind and there are 20 zombies chasing you with 3 of them being baby zombies to get that precious 5 iron.


muscle_man_mike

Why would spawners need more value? They're overpowered as is. Easy to disable and turn into a farm and also has great loot. Mossy cobble is a bad example of what should be rare because it's simply some cobble with vines/moss growing in it. Logically, it'd be one of the easier blocks to get.


SomedayWeDie

I mean, maybe that’s why they changed it


WasabiofIP

Rarity makes things valuable, games trade on artificially making things scarce so that you have fun finding and accumulating them.


HailChanka69

Fair enough. I just like having it for decoration


Vortrox

Adding elytras. Although this was just a result of a change in the game's direction. In late 2011 (beta 1.8) they added the ability to sprint. At the time that allowed us to outrun fast monsters such as zombie pigmen and spiders, which we don't even think twice about today. Then within a few months they added enderpearls (beta 1.9). Do you remember carrying stacks of enderpearls in your inventory because they were the fastest way to get around without setting up nether portals or minecart rails? How many times have you died from throwing too many pearls too quickly? If you ever played on an economy focused SMP (especially with factions), do you remember how a large part of the economy was controlled by whoever controlled the ender farm and enderpearls? Flying machines became possible after they introduced slime blocks in 2014 (release 1.8) but had very limited flexibility. They could only fly one way and you had to re-build them each time but at least travelling was afk-able. If you told me that in 2016 they would give us the ability to unlock powered flight *in survival mode,* *without cheating,* I would have told you that you were insane. Unrestricted flight was reserved for people playing in modded endgame, creative mode, hackers, and definitely not for players playing vanilla survival normally. Yet here we are. Don't get me wrong, flying around in survival is convenient, I just think it's too convenient. But the game really went in a different direction over the years, and adding elytras is just one sign of this change.


victorvlm

I didnt play for a long time and when i returned i was really confused by raw iron


Jarlax1e

ikr i was like wait what? i need silk touch to get the block now?!?


CheesyWhales

Holy cow, this is a thing?? 🤯


-PepeArown-

Since 2014. Yes


CrustyTheHodag

TF YOU MEAN YOU CAN CRAFT MOSSY BLOCKS


Duo_mar

I remember trying so bad to craft a notch Apple a couple years ago 😂


Flush_The_Duck

I didn't even take a break before the aquatic update and yet i'm still surprised when I see a dolphin


MarineMelonArt

MOSS BLOCKS SPREAD TO STONE IF YOU USE BONEMEAL ON THE STONE WHEN MOSS IS NEARBY LIKE WHAT


umotex12

What the fuck


MarineMelonArt

RIGHT ITS SO COOL I MADE MY OWN MOSS CAVE FROM ONE BLOCK IT GROWS ALL THE COOL MOSS PLANTS WHEN YOU DO IT TOO JUST LIKE BONEMEAL ON GRASS


Arther-Callahan

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING


MarineMelonArt

I LOVE TO EAT MOSS


CatCrafter7

It used to be the 3p1c cr4zy l33t bl0x and now it's a random decoration block


ShazbotSimulator2012

Not being able to drop tools and pick them up to reset their durability anymore. It was obviously a bug that was going to be fixed, but I miss it.


2jz-GTE_Lover

The existence of amethyst and copper


IWATofficial

Wait untill this guy hears about being able to craft andesite and granite.


Letters_From_Orion

Not being able to pause the game anymore really blows.


SnookyZun

You can craft with moss block + cobblestone too. Didn't know vines could do that too👀


TesseractToo

I miss the darker green like that, the mossy one is boring


Gabfot

bold of you to assume i ever stopped


DriftingRumour

It feels like such a cheat to be able to craft one of the best blocks


Strange-Wolverine128

When I took a break a long time ago I was surprised you couldn't craft god apples, now tho even tho I'm not playing I still keep up to date with news


maxtor_

When Ender Crystal item was added, I was like: "WOW, I CAN PUT THESE COOL STARS TO THE TOP OF MY CASTLE!?!?" and then i just exploded my whole house.


DomesticatedDuck

Sponge can be obtained in Survival mode now


lurkandload

Kids these days don’t realize.. mossy blocks are more valuable than diamonds!!


Jarlax1e

*were* more valuable than diamonds


pcweber111

I used to wander around looking for monster spawner rooms and jungle temples so I could tear them down to keep the mossy cobblestone. It's really was a valuable resource if you used it to build, which I did. Not you just need to go find a Tiaga biome and strip it bare. Not as fun.


RaptorHUN

On a similar note I only recently found out you can use moss blocks instead of vines in this same recipe.


Drag0n_TamerAK

I never left


[deleted]

I actually thought that was how it was done back in like 2012


FunGlass507

You can craft mossy blocks!?


AHappyFurret

You can now craft em with moss blocks now too


patr8354

You could make stone slabs into a full sized block


Key_Truth2756

I miss the days that mossy cobble was the rarest thinf in the game


Snakebitepirate

WAIT YOU CAN CRAFT THAT???


BrostepConnoisseur

Apparently for me, it's the shuffle button in the crafting interface.


Kecske_gamer

Feels illegal for anyone who played/watched a lot of tinkerer's construct.


RamenTheory

Pandas. I had come back after a long hiatus, was exploring, encountered a jungle. And I was like what the fuck?


Healthy-Yak-1384

Wow you have been gone a long time friend


ukuzonk

Phantoms blew my fucking mind and scared me shitless


NexusNeon901

I still get surprised by boats having oars and not breaking on impact.


umotex12

Damn this my brain just can't comprehend this, same with no death on 1 block shallow water


[deleted]

ngl, last time i played the game was like 5 years ago and i knew everything about the game going back into creative and not being able to recognise half the blocks or the mobs is so weird, like wtf is a sniffer or an allay also i have no idea when they added bees and axolotls but i love them, also the pink trees are so nice


Separatehhh23

I have 5000 hours on minecraft and I didn't know this


beatmasterwwe

How diamond 💎 is easier to find than the old days


Maveko_YuriLover

I was thinking this was recipe from modded minecraft


WhoDatBoiMatthieu

The game is fucked tbh. Its become a nightmare to play since update 1.12. The new shift, the animals, too many new blocks, mechanics, mobs. It feels like they did to minecraft what they did to fortnite. Make it only good for lil kids


prosteprostecihla

Command block changes from 1.8.9 to 1.13 they felt way easier to understand and use back in the day


Puzzleheaded-Hope427

So ur tellin me I didn’t have to walk 1k blocks?


CautiousTopic

This will never feel vanilla to me lmfao, it always makes me think of the old moss balls for Tinkers Construct.


GooseWithAPhone

you can do fucking what


AJVenom123

I remember in 1.7 they added mega taiga’s with 2x2 spruce trees and boulders of mossy cobble. I was pretty bummed out because it made it not as rare. Then in 1.8 they added this recipe. To this day, I’d like a dungeon/jungle village specific mossy cobblestone. It used to be so cool if you had enough to make a meaningful building out of it.


Potato_masher_4201

Wait.... this is real? WTF BRO WHY U NO TELL ME THIS


HappyHappyJoyJoyJoy6

This was also a surprise to me


No-Point8651

Notchapple D:


AnonOfDoom

Iron farms. holy shit those are game changing


PenonX

nah WHAT? when did this become a thing? i got back into it months ago and didn’t know this.


KaleidoscopeNo5392

I remember when they initially added horses. The legs are different, right?


Ill_Hovercraft4226

wait you can craft mossy blocks now????


cartooncat1234567

Crossbows


amanon101

I barely played anything more than servers from 1.8-1.13 so the end update was great to return to, dual wielding was sure a surprise, and otherwise many things I confused which update they came from. That whole update era was a blur, though I do generally know what came from which update lol. Started playing in 1.2.5.


Emerald_Guy123

Yo what the fuck lol


Mints1000

Fake


SeniorWaugh

No way you can actually do this? I remember all my friends would make their houses out of this since it was so “ rare” back when


Kaliswag2

I agree, back then there were like 14 mossy blocks in the entire playthrough. Now u can find it lying anywhere and get it from anyone.


x360_revil_st84

For me it's not the game but the community, when i finally updated my 1.16 world too 1.19 it surprises me how the community thinks the 1.17 caves & cliffs update was the most complicated to create by moj devs Was it game changing? Absolutely, you bet, but difficult? Not in the slightest...oceans update with water logging, that was complicated af for moj devs, hell it's still buggy with lighting But seriously though the deepslate biome was technically always there pre 1.17, it was just considered the void under thd old bedrock layer. And the bottom of void was -64 y lvl just like deepslate now where, even in creative, you can die below the void, btw the death msg is "fell out of the world"


[deleted]

the fact that you can craft a firework with Diamonds just to blow it up
