Something I really love about these videos, is the amount of respect Redlyne gives these spaces he explores. While jokes are made, it never feels at the expense of the spaces and people who were involved. Keep doing what you are doing, saving bits of history that may not last much longer.
I remember spending an entire summer with a group of randoms on a Minecraft server called MineWind when I was in high school. We hung out every day, had our bases raided multiple times, and had a whole saga on the server. But then we all had to go back to school and even though we promised to stay in touch it never really worked out. It's been so long now I barely remember their MC names. Minecraft was one of the only games to have stories like that and it's kinda magical. ShrekIsLive (peak 2010s meme name), if you're out there, your group was cool.
Seeing Gold called "Budder" put a very warm smile on my face, just a reminder years of that inside joke simply started (Or massively took off) thanks to a mod that simply made gold something you can eat. I really miss the early days of modding.
@@BirdKeeperCel That mod was made because of Skydoesminecraft calling gold butter. Used to do mod showcases. SHame to see what he ended up becoming as a person.
16:52 HEY i made that iceberg! I made the video about it you showed, too! You should make that video about it, man! My video missed a lot of stuff (and isn't very good in general) but i still get comments on it all the time from people reminiscing and sharing their experiences on MCSG. It clearly meant a lot to a lot of people- I'm sure they would love to see it!
I fully intend on finishing this video, however at just 3 minutes and 21 seconds in, I wanted to add on to this newly found common experience of faction/towny/creative servers consuming friend groups only to one day just turn to a memory alongside the people you share them with. As a kid, I grew up on Minecraft and this inevitably ended up being how I made some friends that I still talk to today and even went on to meet. (Safely that is and as an adult, stranger danger and all that.) However one particular friend I used to go through these phases with was a kid named GarGar713, or Garrett. We spent multiple summers wasting hours upon hours into faction servers, creative servers, anything we wanted to play--we just simply did. I have many amazing memories and even some that are thankfully still available to revisit through his old RUclips. Garrett was a big 'ol ball of laughter and he could light up a room. He was my best friend for years and years and one day we just stop talking unfortunately. It was just a couple years later that I found out Garrett had sadly passed and I just like to talk about him from time to time when I'm reminded of him and our childhood. I never got to meet Garrett, but he'll always be someone I carry with me. He was a friend that affected people thousands of miles away from him and he is known all throughout the states at the very least by people who also got to experience him. I got to know this kid and spend his limited time by his side on Minecraft of all things. Silly faction raids that felt so real, countless creative builds and worlds (one of which I still have archived from 1.7.3 release 💀), attempting to learn all the towny commands together only to give up brought us closer than I had ever realized. If you're someone who read what I had to say, first of all thank you and I hope you think about Garrett from time to time as a way to keep him alive. Secondly, if you have a Garrett of your own (I hope tragedy aside of course) please tell me about them. I genuinely love to hear people's stories.
the noobstown theme song actually made me tear up omg, that song actually had effort and care put in it. I got so sad for a moment there, people really had so many memories and good times :,)
I may be one of the few(?) people who doesn't have that one specific server they played on for a long time, or didn't make any friends through minecraft to make all the cool memories with. Despite being an active minecraft player throughout the years. I was too afraid of interacting with people, so most of my minecraft nostalgia comes from playing on single worlds. Which is its own kind of vibe that is hard to recreate.
@@RollMeAFat1 For me, at least, fallen kingdom is pretty recognizably the top one because of the center being the iconic gold-trimmed red jacket belonging to the king. Revenge is probably then easier to figure out with that context as the title is incredibly long (as I think it directly refers to itself as a parody in the title and that is a lot of text).
I remember playing with two British kids, communicating through a voice chat with a shitty headphone and together with them defeat the whole vanilla game
I literally got a minecraft tattoo at the beginning of the year because I realized it's maybe the most significant thing that has ever happened to me. When this video dropped I was literally working on a secret base underneath the base of my new friends, people i've only been close with the past year or two. They don't know my tricks. It has always been with me and because it is the perfect avenue for expression, I think it always will.
The intro really spoke to me, as well I'm sure many others. Minecraft is how I met pretty much *all* of my best friends that I have currently and is the #1 reason why I hold the game so close to my heart. I remember we'd play minigame servers, survival servers, host our own servers on crappy free sites; chat on discord, share memes, get into petty squabbles over dumb things but making amends after not long. We would introduce more friends into the group - sometimes for better, sometimes for worse - and whenever one left, we all felt it. Yet the despite the years passing, we've still managed to keep in contact with each other and play games together, and I wouldn't trade that for the world. I've cycled through friend groups throughout my life and it's always crushing to see someone you'd think would be a BFF essentially disappear from your life, either because they stopped logging on, or you got into an argument with them that you never resolved. I sometimes wonder if the friends of my past think about me, remember who I am, think of me fondly or with spite. If we were to reunite, would we still get along? Would they recall more positive memories than negative ones? Would they even remember my name...? I sometimes fear if the friend group I have now may become sick of me or start to resent me for whatever reason - regardless of reason or legitimacy. But every time I have that thought, I'm reassured by them, that they love me; love playing games with me; love talking with me; love sharing what they've made and seeing what I've made. They love being my friend; and I love being able to call them friends as well.
It truly is crazy how easy it is to meet best friends in Minecraft - I have done the same. I think there's an interesting poetic nature to the introspection on friendships here - because the thing that started many of them, Minecraft, has too changed. For the better, or for the worse? Hard to say. If we booted up the launcher and played the first version we played on the first world we played, would we still feel the same? Its an interesting question that has shaped people's relationship with media since the times that media could last long enough for such a relationship to form, and yet it still feels like it is developing even now as we see how a game can change over a long span like this - for the first time.
Man... This makes me all nostalgic. Back in the day, when the Xbox 360 edition of Minecraft was poppin', I made a RUclips series called Best Minecraft Seeds. We basically just had a full lobby of friends explore fun seeds we found through trial and error, and let the randomness fly. In hindsight, the series did REALLY well. At one point, we even were the top search result for both "Xbox" and "Minecraft", which is bananas. However, I got bored of it and couldn't keep creating these long videos that I wasn't fully passionate about. I do look back fondly on that era though, especially considering how many buddies were involved that I no longer really talk to. You never know when you're in the good times...
Loved your work on Egg Hunt 2018 and Ghost Simulator, was a surprise to see you in this haha. Glad to see your still producing certified jock jams to this day
somehow i managed to miss the whole minecraft craze despite being in my 30's now. it feels like it's actually bigger than it ever has been - mostly thanks to the movie. but it's fascinating to watch this retrospective regardless.
Same I knew about it at its height, but never was too into it had a short stint in 2012 before enlisting into the military in 2013. I believe Minecraft is having a secondary boom, but it will never compare to the first golden era according to most Minecraft OG’s.
I had a summer job at a call center where we had maybe a few calls every shift. Me and two of my coworkers had a Minecraft world on the computers and spent pretty much all day just building. We had a roller coaster that took you through underground areas, fully fenced in glass and with torches along the path so you could see everything. The world abruptly stopped when the one weird coworker set up a machine that constantly spawned, and then killed, chickens. We got weirded out and moved on.
I love these videos. I didn't grow up playing Minecraft. I was just a little too old to have been exposed to it. But later in life I did pick it up because my father in law made me realize that there's no age limit to it. But I really love seeing these videos about all the memories people had. I played other games that I lost myself in back then, and I'm thinking of getting back into it now.
You echoed my own thoughts at the end there. People say that once its on the internet its there forever, but nobody realized that that doesn't apply to the things you loved slowly being left behind
I love how earnest your videos can get, in general I feel like the attachment to an ironic attitude works for comedy, but I appreciate that you let that fall away sometimes
I played early during the alpha, but beta 1.7 will always be my favorite time for the game so hearing about others favorite servers and is great. The nostalgia I get just from hearing any of the alpha OST will stick with me forever. Thanks for this video. I'm glad other people feel that sense of nostalgia for such an incredible game.
idk what it was about my decrepit, wrinkled, useless, smashed, punched down, worthless pc at the time but whenever the game would think about loading a horse into the world for even a micro second, it was a garanteed blue screen.
This is an absolute gem of a video. Props to you, good sir. By the way, hearing you mention Hamachi sent an absolute nostalgia wave like I’ve never experienced before. I haven’t heard that term used since 2013.
I’ve played Minecraft since I was a very little kid. My most prominent memory, the one that still haunts me every now and then, is remembering this server I played on when I was about 8 or 9. It was a survival server, called DragonCraft, and it was Naruto themed. I had literally never watched Naruto in my life. I was still kinda new to servers in general and didn’t understand much, but I was on pretty often. The owner eventually took a liking to me, maybe pitied me somewhat and understood that I was just an extremely young kid. He helped me cheat the obstacle course required to get a rank and would often grant me creative mode so that I could just build little towns for myself because I just wanted to build and didn’t really understand how the game worked all that well. It was my favorite server for the longest time. I would make new warps for places I built and ask him to come look and he would compliment me on the builds :) One day, I found a creative server that didn’t use plots. I remember vividly logging onto the old server I’d been playing and telling the owner that it wasn’t my favorite server anymore. I think I was just explaining where I’d been, but I remember him being sad. A few weeks later, I wanted to log back on and apologize for saying it, but my computer reset and I lost the IP forever. I have always been so upset that that was the last thing I ever said to him I think about it a lot. I think the owners name, or username, involved the name Ken. Ken, if you’re out there, I’m sorry, you always were my favorite server and I never forgot about it
The power of RUclipsr influencing games really is understated- I haven't touched Minecraft in years, but I'm still relatively in the know purely because there's still a RUclipsr or two or so that I haven't gotten sick of/still love keeping up with. Etho legit carrying older Minecraft audiences fr
That youtuber section is so appropriate, given that I’ve been delving back into the videos of an old group I used to watch. Every Friday was Minecraft. I miss them dearly.
i was already an adult when minecraft came out and i played it then, but dont really have any nostalgia for it. but the absolute guy redlyne comes through and makes me feel for it and the many other digital worlds we’ve lost over time including ones i was a part of.
I've played Minecraft since Alpha, I'm 29 now. From ages 14-18 I made so many friends on faction servers, opened up our own and made so many memories. Out of the group of friends, as far as I know I'm the only one that still plays and none of us talk anymore. Video hits right in my feels.
at 8:10 to answer your question, gold was called butter or budder back then thanks to SkyDoesMinecraft or Adam. Was once a fan of him and his crew, TeamCrafted.
Hypixel has always had so many game modes that are incredibly dead because all of their player base leans towards skyblock and the main minigames, i wish these older/more niche game modes had more players willing to get on
I also had a “no more Minecraft” event. I ran a server with some friends, and we finally got a lot of people together. People were on working on their houses and stuff it was great, and I invited a friend from school to play too. Someone joined (dont know if it was the kid from school I never talked to him again lol) and the whole server was griefed. The end
God your videos always warm my heart. I love watching you go trough old forgotten stuff it's so nostalgic. And I must say, the message at the end was just beautifull.
this single video is bringing back so many memories with the modded portion. i remember watching a streamer way back then that got so big he had his own modpacks he'd have made that were like voltz and tekkit combined by people that he'd play on stream with friends and other streamers and there were like 8 versions of it, and my pc was so bad at the time but eventually on the 6th iteration of the modpack i got into his subscriber only server. it was so fun and watching them play the game and do these intense server war things with forcefields and giant warships that had like death star lasers and stuff. holy moly it was so fun. eventually that streamer fell off hard after a time i think but, thanks to TDKPyrostasis (i cannot believe i remembered that name so fast) for all the insane memories with streams and modpacks and community.
I had a friend who had his own server and used to play for hours on the weekend. Over the times we all slowly moved on in life and just kinda stopped playing Minecraft.
Honestly, your vids are a special blend of fascinating and cozy that I can't get enough of. I've gone through all your videos so many times by this point.
This video just unlocked one of the core memories I had playing minecraft when he mentioned breeze island. I remember vividly playing the crap out of that map in lifeboat and remember playing a factions game mode based upon that map. I can't express how seeing that map brought so much nostalgia into me it was like meeting a forgotten friend.
The towny ones hit hard. Unfortunately, that genre of server died after the covid lockdowns ended that was my reason for playing minecraft as long as I did. I miss it a lot. The people I met on there had a lasting impact on me.
Crazy how apart from Minecraft archivists looking for old servers like these, 98% of these will all be lost to time. 10+ year old servers just waiting to be rediscovered and explored, a glimpse into a friend groups history and lore on Minecraft that they created, gone to days past, and just waiting to be found again. I love these videos.
Tekkit genuinely has to be the best modpack of all time, the yogscast Jaffa factory will forever be a part of my brain Also, redlyne, more like main line this channel into my veins I love it
I'll always remember the minecraft server me and my friends played on when we were younger. it was only for half a year but the impact it had on us is immense. RIP Keeston forever in our hearts
Just wanted to say love your videos they have such a cozy laid back feeling, and i especially love your music and sound effect choices they help make everything stand out so much more
I never comment on videos, but i just had to. you really captured that feeling of nostalgia really well. and the mgs2 ending was just the cherry on top. thanks for the video :)
2:10 I feel this man, there was a sever called UberMC that was a collection of classic mini games that me and my friends used to play that suddenly just shut down out of the blue. I used to play Creative Plots, Skywars, The Walls, and Dwarves vs Zombies quite frequently and made a bunch friends that I sadly never got to see again. There's also another called SolarCraft which was a survival community server that I could write an entire book with all the memories I have of it, though it shut down fairly recently and I still have contact with some of the people on there, so I'm slightly less bummed about it.
I held a fairly popular minecraft server called "Olympus" where my close friends were all gods, and we created re-conpletable zelda like dungeons with actual item rewards at the end. And it was on a survival server. It was a blast
Dude, as usual you KILLED it with the music choice. Just to name a few, the Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid, Dark Souls 2 and 1080 Snowboarding tracks really added a lot to the video. Nice work as always
damn those survival games maps really bring back memories. i remember trying to make one of those servers with some friends, and due to us being a bunch of disorganised middle schoolers it went about as well as you'd expect.
Your channel is my favorite on youtube by far. I’d go as far as saying it’s the best I have ever found. I’ve been watching videos on youtube since Raywilliamjohnson was hot shit. Probably even before that. So its been a while. I have watched and enjoyed many channels, but none have connected with me like yours. Thank you🙏
Really enjoying your taking this route of older games/genres/abandoned games and stuff from the past. Really great to bring back memories and see where gaming came from-always enjoy your uploads :)
19:30 Iirc some of the larger minigame servers had a walls mode that put teams in unique biomes, and had you defending a wither from the other teams Thanks for reunlocking some core memories here, old minecraft literally was *the* game of the 2010s
Tekkit into Hexxit was fantastic. When you combined Hexxit with Mystcraft, things could get bonkers. Teleporters to worlds created entirely out of diamonds and lava. Except the value made the world too unstable, and it would start deleting itself and exploding. Beautiful.
Its so cool to see my exact age range have these extremely niche and interesting cultural moments perfectly preserved. I feel like a lot of this would have simply faded into my subconscious had games like Minecraft and platforms like RUclips not been around.
One mode that I have NEVER seen in a game since in any way is DWARVES VS ZOMBIES! That mode was so amazing. Genuinely some of the most unique gameplay I've ever experienced. Everyone had their little job which they performed, trading amongst themselves to amass the resources for weapons, armor, and building materials to fend off the monster team. That dynamic gameplay of everyone wordlessly cooperating made every match feel completely unique.
i had the exact same experience with learning how mode worked too, some random kid was round my house one time and installed a bunch of mods for me and showed me how. also do not remember his name and never saw him again 😭
God damn i miss those town servers so much... so many hours, so many people i talked to and hung out with. I tried picking up minecraft again recently but it just ain't the same anymore
I like how the pages upon pages of stuff from hexxit plus all the dimensions is all one mod: Advent of Ascension. That mod alone adds so much stuff to the game, it could literally just be it's own game at this point.
Secondlife was my "Minecraft" in 2007-2010 ... memories. most old spaces gone at some moment in time, but some are still up till today. That's 20 years soon. Crazy long time in digital terms
It feels so weird being at the edge of the generation that got sucked into the minecraft vortex. Minecraft in my head is still one of those "new games" yet I can't deny that it definitely left a lasting impression on me. I didn't get as into as my younger siblings got but I definitely appreciated my time with it.
i'm addicted to this man

We all have that server we love reminiscing about cause the memories were so good. To all the lost worlds and friends.
Sadly I never played on any servers really. But I do have fond memories of my own worlds

You echoed my own thoughts at the end there. People say that once its on the internet its there forever, but nobody realized that that doesn't apply to the things you loved slowly being left behind
I love how earnest your videos can get, in general I feel like the attachment to an ironic attitude works for comedy, but I appreciate that you let that fall away sometimes
Minecraft will forever be one of those timeless games where you can come back to every other month and enjoy it in your own way 💯 Great video Redlyne!
Funny seeing you here coba 😂
I played early during the alpha, but beta 1.7 will always be my favorite time for the game so hearing about others favorite servers and is great. The nostalgia I get just from hearing any of the alpha OST will stick with me forever. Thanks for this video. I'm glad other people feel that sense of nostalgia for such an incredible game.
Horse update was peak Minecraft. God i would love to go back and play around that era.
idk what it was about my decrepit, wrinkled, useless, smashed, punched down, worthless pc at the time but whenever the game would think about loading a horse into the world for even a micro second, it was a garanteed blue screen.
This is an absolute gem of a video. Props to you, good sir.
By the way, hearing you mention Hamachi sent an absolute nostalgia wave like I’ve never experienced before. I haven’t heard that term used since 2013.
I’ve played Minecraft since I was a very little kid. My most prominent memory, the one that still haunts me every now and then, is remembering this server I played on when I was about 8 or 9. It was a survival server, called DragonCraft, and it was Naruto themed. I had literally never watched Naruto in my life. I was still kinda new to servers in general and didn’t understand much, but I was on pretty often.
The owner eventually took a liking to me, maybe pitied me somewhat and understood that I was just an extremely young kid. He helped me cheat the obstacle course required to get a rank and would often grant me creative mode so that I could just build little towns for myself because I just wanted to build and didn’t really understand how the game worked all that well. It was my favorite server for the longest time. I would make new warps for places I built and ask him to come look and he would compliment me on the builds :)
One day, I found a creative server that didn’t use plots. I remember vividly logging onto the old server I’d been playing and telling the owner that it wasn’t my favorite server anymore. I think I was just explaining where I’d been, but I remember him being sad. A few weeks later, I wanted to log back on and apologize for saying it, but my computer reset and I lost the IP forever. I have always been so upset that that was the last thing I ever said to him
I think about it a lot. I think the owners name, or username, involved the name Ken. Ken, if you’re out there, I’m sorry, you always were my favorite server and I never forgot about it
The power of RUclipsr influencing games really is understated- I haven't touched Minecraft in years, but I'm still relatively in the know purely because there's still a RUclipsr or two or so that I haven't gotten sick of/still love keeping up with. Etho legit carrying older Minecraft audiences fr
That youtuber section is so appropriate, given that I’ve been delving back into the videos of an old group I used to watch. Every Friday was Minecraft. I miss them dearly.

i was already an adult when minecraft came out and i played it then, but dont really have any nostalgia for it. but the absolute guy redlyne comes through and makes me feel for it and the many other digital worlds we’ve lost over time including ones i was a part of.
Started as the retro-looking game, now becoming retro itself. And that is cool.
I've played Minecraft since Alpha, I'm 29 now. From ages 14-18 I made so many friends on faction servers, opened up our own and made so many memories. Out of the group of friends, as far as I know I'm the only one that still plays and none of us talk anymore.
Video hits right in my feels.
at 8:10 to answer your question, gold was called butter or budder back then thanks to SkyDoesMinecraft or Adam. Was once a fan of him and his crew, TeamCrafted.
PTSD His fall from grace
i think he knew based on his reaction
Hypixel has always had so many game modes that are incredibly dead because all of their player base leans towards skyblock and the main minigames, i wish these older/more niche game modes had more players willing to get on
I also had a “no more Minecraft” event. I ran a server with some friends, and we finally got a lot of people together. People were on working on their houses and stuff it was great, and I invited a friend from school to play too. Someone joined (dont know if it was the kid from school I never talked to him again lol) and the whole server was griefed. The end
there was genuinely nothing like having 3 friends over and playing minecraft survival on the xbox 360 in 2012
God your videos always warm my heart. I love watching you go trough old forgotten stuff it's so nostalgic. And I must say, the message at the end was just beautifull.
You took me down memory lane, thank you
That MGS2 bit was probably the best thing I've seen in a long time
this single video is bringing back so many memories with the modded portion. i remember watching a streamer way back then that got so big he had his own modpacks he'd have made that were like voltz and tekkit combined by people that he'd play on stream with friends and other streamers and there were like 8 versions of it, and my pc was so bad at the time but eventually on the 6th iteration of the modpack i got into his subscriber only server. it was so fun and watching them play the game and do these intense server war things with forcefields and giant warships that had like death star lasers and stuff. holy moly it was so fun. eventually that streamer fell off hard after a time i think but, thanks to TDKPyrostasis (i cannot believe i remembered that name so fast) for all the insane memories with streams and modpacks and community.
I had a friend who had his own server and used to play for hours on the weekend. Over the times we all slowly moved on in life and just kinda stopped playing Minecraft.
My man uploaded whilst I was rewatching his Dead Game series. Absolute legend.
I can't tell if you were nudge nudge wink winking or genuinely asking but the gold ingots as butter thing was a SkyDoesMinecraft joke
I remember when dunkey beat Sky in smash
I remember there being a yogscast bit about butter shoes as well. (=
That was intentional, assuming it's a joke in the same vein of pretending Notch didn't make the game.
Oh, cool MGS2 bit at the end, I almost failed to recognise it. Nice message, man
Honestly, your vids are a special blend of fascinating and cozy that I can't get enough of. I've gone through all your videos so many times by this point.
This video just unlocked one of the core memories I had playing minecraft when he mentioned breeze island. I remember vividly playing the crap out of that map in lifeboat and remember playing a factions game mode based upon that map. I can't express how seeing that map brought so much nostalgia into me it was like meeting a forgotten friend.
Genuinely has become a comfort channel for me. I've rewatched thee videos like 5 times.
The memories in this game are so amazing. You literally cannot forget them. This game is the best. The music and everything is so good.
The towny ones hit hard. Unfortunately, that genre of server died after the covid lockdowns ended that was my reason for playing minecraft as long as I did. I miss it a lot. The people I met on there had a lasting impact on me.
Crazy how apart from Minecraft archivists looking for old servers like these, 98% of these will all be lost to time. 10+ year old servers just waiting to be rediscovered and explored, a glimpse into a friend groups history and lore on Minecraft that they created, gone to days past, and just waiting to be found again. I love these videos.
this hit me like a truck. I'm going through a rough time and having this blast of nostalgia has been warming
Genuinely, thank you so much for the work you do Redlyne. Most if not all of us would never have heard these stories if not for you.
Making the end of this video a reference to MGS2's ending is so beautiful.
Perfect video
Tekkit genuinely has to be the best modpack of all time, the yogscast Jaffa factory will forever be a part of my brain
Also, redlyne, more like main line this channel into my veins I love it
I'll always remember the minecraft server me and my friends played on when we were younger. it was only for half a year but the impact it had on us is immense. RIP Keeston forever in our hearts
Just wanted to say love your videos they have such a cozy laid back feeling, and i especially love your music and sound effect choices they help make everything stand out so much more
I never comment on videos, but i just had to. you really captured that feeling of nostalgia really well. and the mgs2 ending was just the cherry on top. thanks for the video :)
2:10 I feel this man, there was a sever called UberMC that was a collection of classic mini games that me and my friends used to play that suddenly just shut down out of the blue. I used to play Creative Plots, Skywars, The Walls, and Dwarves vs Zombies quite frequently and made a bunch friends that I sadly never got to see again. There's also another called SolarCraft which was a survival community server that I could write an entire book with all the memories I have of it, though it shut down fairly recently and I still have contact with some of the people on there, so I'm slightly less bummed about it.
DEEEP nostalgia pull
I held a fairly popular minecraft server called "Olympus" where my close friends were all gods, and we created re-conpletable zelda like dungeons with actual item rewards at the end. And it was on a survival server.
It was a blast
Dude, as usual you KILLED it with the music choice. Just to name a few, the Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid, Dark Souls 2 and 1080 Snowboarding tracks really added a lot to the video. Nice work as always
i said this before the video was over and your homage to the metal gear solid 2 ending was PERFECT. This is youtube fine dining
damn those survival games maps really bring back memories. i remember trying to make one of those servers with some friends, and due to us being a bunch of disorganised middle schoolers it went about as well as you'd expect.
Your channel is my favorite on youtube by far. I’d go as far as saying it’s the best I have ever found. I’ve been watching videos on youtube since Raywilliamjohnson was hot shit. Probably even before that. So its been a while. I have watched and enjoyed many channels, but none have connected with me like yours. Thank you🙏
Really enjoying your taking this route of older games/genres/abandoned games and stuff from the past. Really great to bring back memories and see where gaming came from-always enjoy your uploads :)
just went randomly on my youtube home feed to find this posted 16 seconds ago. nice lmao
The soothing calm of your voice really fits the nostalgic tone of your videos. I love it.
wow this whole video is incredible and the ending just really drives it home.
somehow despite being short youtube videos, I always leave these videos with some sort of profound sense, its incredible
Redlyne out here being the GOAT internet archivist
dude every video you've made has been an absolute banger. keep it up
19:30 Iirc some of the larger minigame servers had a walls mode that put teams in unique biomes, and had you defending a wither from the other teams
Thanks for reunlocking some core memories here, old minecraft literally was *the* game of the 2010s
Tekkit into Hexxit was fantastic. When you combined Hexxit with Mystcraft, things could get bonkers. Teleporters to worlds created entirely out of diamonds and lava. Except the value made the world too unstable, and it would start deleting itself and exploding.
Beautiful.
Its so cool to see my exact age range have these extremely niche and interesting cultural moments perfectly preserved. I feel like a lot of this would have simply faded into my subconscious had games like Minecraft and platforms like RUclips not been around.
im crying this video is beautiful please bless this platform with your grace red you are the god of youtube
I'm always happy when Redlyne posts. His posts are always exactly what I needed when they come online.
i have genuinely sat here rewatching each and every video. this is an addiction.
anyway something new to watch on repeat yippee
This was genuinely such an amazing video. I almost want to make a video recounting my time in old Minecraft as well.
One mode that I have NEVER seen in a game since in any way is DWARVES VS ZOMBIES! That mode was so amazing. Genuinely some of the most unique gameplay I've ever experienced. Everyone had their little job which they performed, trading amongst themselves to amass the resources for weapons, armor, and building materials to fend off the monster team. That dynamic gameplay of everyone wordlessly cooperating made every match feel completely unique.
*All* of your videos make me nostalgic for things I never got to experience.
i really am loving all the nostalgia based videos, i hope you keep making them dawg
i had the exact same experience with learning how mode worked too, some random kid was round my house one time and installed a bunch of mods for me and showed me how. also do not remember his name and never saw him again 😭
4:15 oh god
Yup i had to go back to make sure i was seeing it right
Some things are best left dead and forgotten...
I dont understand
I look forward to your videos all the time you create funny and real stuff man, thank you for what you do
God damn i miss those town servers so much... so many hours, so many people i talked to and hung out with. I tried picking up minecraft again recently but it just ain't the same anymore
I like how the pages upon pages of stuff from hexxit plus all the dimensions is all one mod: Advent of Ascension. That mod alone adds so much stuff to the game, it could literally just be it's own game at this point.
I love your videos! Especially your longer ones! You can tell you put a lot of effort and love into what you do. Keep on keeping on brother! 🫡
Secondlife was my "Minecraft" in 2007-2010 ... memories. most old spaces gone at some moment in time, but some are still up till today. That's 20 years soon. Crazy long time in digital terms
I'm just glad this video popped up on my feed. Thank you
Reallly appreciate the deviation to showing us blowing up every single example build you do for this vid
It feels so weird being at the edge of the generation that got sucked into the minecraft vortex. Minecraft in my head is still one of those "new games" yet I can't deny that it definitely left a lasting impression on me. I didn't get as into as my younger siblings got but I definitely appreciated my time with it.
Never skip a Redlyne video
I stopped playing survival on other people’s server networks because of the shutdowns and resets. After three or four times, I’d had enough.
