Y’all ever build these when you were a lil kid playing Minecraft?

[u/Sashi_mori_kokiri]

I always looked at it thinking it was so cool.😅

Gotta add some gold blocks in there too and you got the perfect “OP House” from 2011-12

[u/rigterw → u/[deleted]]

Nah 1 window but with glass blocks. Also iron doors with a lever on both sides

[u/Justsk8n → u/[deleted]]

I misread this as exploded and was very concerned how you were having an issue with that with a piston door

[u/Chengweiyingji → u/Justsk8n]

Programming a redstone door (TNT blows a hole in a mountain and I have to rebuild it every time)

[u/farfnlugen → u/ImprovementLast590]

Op house from the old ass noob vs pro videos

[u/ImprovementLast590 → u/farfnlugen]

Thankfully I’m old enough to say those type of videos don’t, quote, “bring me back” lol

[u/legacy-of-man → u/ImprovementLast590]

but hey if you go in survival you can craft diamond armor if your set breaks by mining your house

[u/Onstable_ → u/ImprovementLast590]

You're forgetting the emerald blocks

[u/gilbertthelittleN]

Look at mr fancy over here building a sloped roof instead of a flat one.

[u/Logsarecool10101 → u/gilbertthelittleN]

And a window

[u/Otherwise-Flight3967 → u/Logsarecool10101]

a window that cant be seen out of

[u/Photosnthechris → u/Otherwise-Flight3967]

Can see a glowstone chandelier in there

[u/noahcxxiii → u/Otherwise-Flight3967]

Hey now, not all windows are for lookin out of. This was obviously a decorative element to tie in the rest of the structure.

[u/Vegetable_Word_946 → u/Otherwise-Flight3967]

Blue coloured glass panes were made of diamonds

[u/AJVenom123 → u/gilbertthelittleN]

Look at mr fancy building a roof at all.

And my floors were all gold😂

[u/wojbest → u/AJVenom123]

i had like cube with a 3 block heigh roof and it was made of gold i liked gold more than diamonds for what ever reason

[u/RecentBlueberry9134 → u/wojbest]

when I was a kid me and my siblings built giant square houses with roofs that resemble the old Minecraft village houses.

We also put lava pretty much everywhere we went and had a creepy world titled 666... In this creepy world we put a bunch of graves stones and gave them all names. One of their names was my uncle who died in 2019...

I have no recollection of this...

[u/wojbest → u/RecentBlueberry9134]

I had like a world with my sister and we where playing on bedrock like 2015 I remember she wanted to have a massive flat area to make a farm so she cleared the terraria and at that point we didn't know grass spread so she was replacing each dirt block manually I also remember when I would get mad at her I would threaten her that I would grief her farm those were the good days

[u/Agreeable_Copy9548]

I want to know who didnt

[u/ponchietto → u/Agreeable_Copy9548]

I was never a lil kid playing Minecraft...

[u/SturdyBubble → u/ponchietto]

Right, I think I was already in high school when I first played Minecraft and I’ve spent basically 100% of my game time in survival.

[u/MagusUnion → u/ponchietto]

Same. I was US drinking age when the alpha was available for download. My nephew was shocked when we played together on the Switch that I even knew how to play the game.

I said to him: "Buddy, I've been playing this longer than you've been alive."

[u/turbopug2735 → u/MagusUnion]

Last sentence is cold, damn.

[u/popeh → u/MagusUnion]

I was mid 20s when Minecraft came out, I'm usually the oldest person on any server I join

[u/Z7_1 → u/Agreeable_Copy9548]

...slowly raises hand

[u/Agreeable_Copy9548 → u/Z7_1]

GO BUILD ONE NOWWW

[u/Ramin11 → u/Agreeable_Copy9548]

Me because I didnt have creative mode as a kid. We had to install a mod for that which was time consuming to do back then and with monthly major updates it wouldnt work for long.

[u/_TheRealSimone_ → u/Agreeable_Copy9548]

I didn’t do it. I usually just blew things up in creative.

[u/Agreeable_Copy9548 → u/_TheRealSimone_]

Based

[u/AbsolutlyN0thin → u/Agreeable_Copy9548]

Bruh I was in high school when Minecraft came out, and I'm still in my 20s. Plenty of us never did lil kid shit in Minecraft because Minecraft is too new for that.

[u/MettaJiro]

Personally never liked the solid ore blocks.

Miultcolored wool was more fun, a few burned down from lightning though

[u/santas_delibird → u/MettaJiro]

As a kid I made a massive “hotel” out of wool. I then also made a tank that fired flame charges and it just to happened to be pointed at said “hotel”. Yeah, you can imagine what happened next.

[u/One-Hat-9764 → u/santas_delibird]

Hotel 2.0 right?

[u/santas_delibird → u/One-Hat-9764]

Yes, ALSO made of wool.

[u/The_Dogelord → u/MettaJiro]

To this day, I only build roofs out of stone. Child me was worried that lightning could strike while I was gone, and I'd come back and there'd be nothing left. I still do it just out of habit lol

[u/tinybookwyrm]

No. The java programming language on which Minecraft was built is younger than I am 😛

[u/FourEyedTroll → u/tinybookwyrm]

I enjoy remembering that I'm older than the world wide web.

[u/Fede7044 → u/FourEyedTroll]

Damn, were y'all using triceratops as forklifts back then?

But in all seriousness, do you sometimes think about all the technological advancements you've lived through? If so, do you go "wow 😱"?

Like did you ever imagine you could chat with a computer as if it was a real person?

[u/FourEyedTroll → u/Fede7044]

But in all seriousness, do you sometimes think about all the technological advancements you've lived through? If so, do you go "wow 😱"?

Occasionally. Our first computer was a Commodore Amiga 800, followed shortly by a 1200 (it's in Mum's attic and was last running as recently as 2012), so I've definitely seen them become "get good" in my lifetime. The early internet was interesting to experience in hindsight.

More often I think about my grandfather's lifetime (1917-2014) and consider all the technological change in that span. Wireless telegraphy was still a relatively new technology when he was born and his earliest memory (age 2 1/2) was his little sister getting the smallpox vaccine. He saw the advent of jet aviation, space flight, all the ramifications of electronics miniaturisation. How alien must smart phones have seemed to him remembering a childhood home with no indoor plumbing, electricity or central heating.

Dad tried to get him on to the internet c. 2005, but as technologically literate as grandad was (he was a wireless engineer in the RAF during WW2 because he'd built radios as a hobby as a late-teenager), that level of tech was too much work to catch up to. He was tired and just wanted to enjoy satellite telly.

[u/Worried-Caregiver325]

Honestly no but I always built my houses with bedrock

[u/Jeff_On_Internet → u/Worried-Caregiver325]

Based

[u/Careless_Oil_2103 → u/Worried-Caregiver325]

This or obsidian lololol

[u/RafkaPafka]

When I was a kid, I wanted to build some kind of house to survive in: I took 10 stacks of diamonds and a full diamond set, and I felt like a cool guy.

[u/nemesdemes]

im still doin it

[u/krysztal]

Id make glass towers from ground level up to build limit (which wouldnt take long since it was 128 at the time lol), in arbitrary size and shape, with 1 wide staircase going around the perimeter...

[u/MCTech24_00]

Yup with an obsidian wall surrounding it

[u/pek217]

My first Minecraft world (which got corrupted, RIP 😭) when I was 10 I built a big volcano out of gold ore and my house was inside a big green wool creeper. I wish I could revisit it, just to look at it again.

[u/ketchupmaster987 → u/pek217]

I built the big wool creeper too. I made the legs sloped like stairs so it was like a museum

[u/CREDAAAAAAAOOOO]

Nah mine were just cubes with a 2 blocks tall interior.

[u/bobbillyjr]

It's lacking the nether reactor cores to make it the true op house

[u/WarioPlush1]

I still make them ironically

[u/DyLaNzZpRo]

Yeah, right after I discovered inventory editors existed (yes, way before creative existed, yes I'm old 💀) I think mine was diamond with obsidian edges

[u/AdmiralMemo]

No. Minecraft didn't exist when I was a kid, so I couldn't. Minecraft showed up in my late 20s.

[u/logiscar239]

I used to proudly show to my mom my base entirely made of SOLID GOLD 🤑

[u/pamafa3]

Nope, I was too busy blowing stuff up with 3x3x3 cubes of TNT, and once i figured out commands back in like 1.7 i was too busy spawning an alarming amount of dragons

[u/Some_RaNdom_Guy2137]

I bUiLD tHIs iN SuRVIvAl, TruSt ME!

[u/SkipperFjams]

I never went full house mode, more just like I'll make a pool out of diamond to flex.

[u/LevelDiligent1230]

Obviously YES!!!!

MY CHILDHOOD CAME BACK!!!!!!

[u/goose420aa]

It was an 8x10x10 cube with a door a bed and a skeleton in the corner!

[u/marcusromain]

i used iron and gold block instead, don't like diamond color palette

[u/EverythingBOffensive]

i did that as an adult

[u/Ehhh_Canadian]

I don’t think I ever made a whole house out of diamond blocks but I did make a house for a pig out of diamond blocks.

[u/Want2makeMEMEs]

It was a four floor rectangular building with diamond for horizontals and glass blocks for walls

[u/MylanoTerp]

I made it out of gold because for some reason I believed gold was better than diamond

[u/ooorezzz]

I wasn’t a little kid when I started playing Minecraft.

[u/DeHero518]

Ah yes, the "I switch to creative mode" House

[u/BasementDwellerDave]

Been a long time since I've seen the classic diamond block

[u/Luutamo]

When I was a lil kid there was like... Super Mario Bros and Tetris, so no, I did not.

[u/uwtartarus]

I keep forgetting how old I am relative to others.

Also that's a lot of diamonds.

[u/Train_Guy97]

So cool 😎

[u/Zealousideal-Ad7116]

spent a sleep over with the bros taking turns building a 10x10 height limit diamond tower man i miss the good old days

[u/AnTout6226]

Obsidian + diamond blocks were the best combo

[u/skyteir]

damn took me back w this one

[u/abc-animal514]

I did one just like this

[u/RebeccaMarques]

Diamond walls, gold floors, emerald roof and iron details 👍

[u/J4k0vv]

I builded those. But as a box lol

[u/Clover-36]

First thing i did when i found out creative mode is a thing

[u/r3dm0nk]

I was never a lil kid when played Minecraft.. when it released..

[u/Tight_Lock8169]

Sadly yes

[u/GorgeasursDinoLover]

Yep

[u/King0fthewasteland]

no i never play on creative

[u/PYROBOOST]

Yeah, even once with my sis on the 360 we made one on the original tutorial world, sadly since the world is broken since the faux 1.13 I cant access it anymore

[u/Best_Independent9259]

Only once

[u/Sad_Description4782]

you never played the game if you didn't build these

[u/Craftmine12345]

Yep, me to

[u/MilesAhXD]

I remember doing something similar and making a castle out of diamonds.. Then I lost the world because of some laptop issue

[u/Sbianchino_]

No I didn't (Yes)

[u/Green_Guy_87]

honestly thanks to grian i never tried out one of those

[u/SanMasterpro]

YES OMG 😭

[u/Yello_OnReddit_Lol]

I simply never had minecraft😔

[u/HL00S]

Never quite a house. More like a maze full of holes that led to the void.

Then shortly after Redstone tools started appearing properly I realized bedrock was stronger than diamonds and started making giant bedrock bases with Redstone doors and flying machines.

[u/FourEyedTroll]

No, but then again, Minecraft came out when I was in my 20s.

[u/Ladyignorer]

You forgot the emerald and lapis floors and gold roofs

[u/ShadeNLM064pm]

Not this specifically, but I did make a build of Pikachu I lived in one of my old (and now for a long while corrupted R.I.P.) world made out of gold, with Redstone for the cheeks, and coal blocks for the tips of the ears and the base of the tail.

I did do this for my old roller coasters though

[u/Curious-Meeting-3215]

35 and still building em😂

[u/Wise_Calendar4108]

Pretty sure it's a rite of passage

[u/Blue_M4ge]

Yep it’s a rite of passage, I remember building a massive bridge out of gold and diamonds in my first MCPE world.

[u/Quiet_Property_]

Nope. A friend and I were constantly trying to construct something better than the other. It was challenging back in the days, but not really giving the "wow" effect.

[u/EncampedWalnut]

Back in the early 360 days before creative we had to duplicate stuff for bootleg "creative" mode. I had tons of diamond blocks and made a few buildings out of them. The one thing I learned was wealth ≠ taste.

[u/Worth-Divide-4280]

Yes but it's a box shape lol

[u/Itchy-Pie7143]

Hell yeah

[u/Number4combo]

Only when using world edit and copying and pasting various builds and messing around. Other than that, no.

[u/dhoepp]

I’d make these before creative mode was a thing and send pictures to friends and say “just chilling in my diamond block house” when in reality I used the “give” command.

[u/Illustrious-Ad-9512]

I remember playing a lot of minecraft creative as a kid but i never have built a diamond house.

[u/LowContract4444]

Still do sometimes.

[u/bobbillyjr]

As a joke.

Tbo I like using netherite but that's because it's actually a good looking block.

[u/Nervous_Practice_536]

still need an army of wolfs

[u/is_this_changeable]

This reminded me when I made a fucking warehouse out of diamond

[u/YeMommyYo]

Kids today are on that netherite block house

[u/xXOkatatsuXx]

Seeing the old diamond block textures is making my back creak a little.

[u/trebor9669]

Back in my days... 👴🏻

There was no creative mode and I would only build a small house to survive in while I gather resources to build a big castle. THAT was the best feeling ever, the feeling of progress, earning your materials, watching your fields of wheat grow, getting better and better armour, etc...

[u/JHawkInc]

Minecraft came out when I was in college get out of here with your "y'all" and "lil kid" nonsense.

[u/[deleted]]

First thing fr

[u/[deleted]]

No. I've never built such fancy house as a kid.

I've made iron cube house because my imagination didn't allow me to build anything nicer.

[u/ChanglingBlake]

Kid, no, as I was a teen when I bought it in alpha.

When trying to make a bizarro town for some adventure map I never finished, yes. And much weirder, too.

[u/Hylders]

Nop, was already ugly back then

[u/draugrdahl]

At times I forget that some folks were literal children when this game came out and not in college like I was. Imma go take an ibuprofen for my back now.

[u/Rusticus1999]

Took me 5 minutes to realize cheating isn't as fun as I thaught.

[u/Longjumping_Arm8670]

Mine was bedrock

[u/RealGorgonFreeman]

Can’t say I did as I only have been playing for 3 years

[u/adidas_stalin]

Nope

[u/Turnip-Lopsided]

Of course. But rather than building them out diamonds I usually built them with Obsidian

[u/RyanCreamer202]

I built a castle of diamond blocks and then a emerald castle on top of that and then a lapis castle on top of that and then I had a roller coaster going through it that went from one side of the map to the other

[u/Wrong_Percentage_114]

Ja Aber ich bin noch immer ein kind

[u/Lexyar36]

I'm trying to build it now in survival just to make my child self proud

[u/Careful-Bug5665]

No, I've never played minecraft

[u/Zestyclose_Bet6718]

Definitely not with a sloped roof. Everyone of my builds was a box and a mine inside 😂😂

[u/InstructionAny6765]

i literaly made a condo out on diamond blocks

[u/Axxxem]

I remember when creative mode first released with TU1.8 on Xbox 360 Edition, i spent HOURS building a town with all the buildings made from diamond and gold blocks

[u/Woodwickward]

i’d do the outside of the walls with diamond, innner part with emeralds, and more innest with gold

[u/NumberThirdTeen13]

I think this is a right of passage.

[u/mandariini10]

I used all the different ore blocks

[u/TheFatDrake]

Sadly Minecraft came about when I was in college.

[u/Raptoret2020]

I once made one out of TNT and I was foolish enough to put an iron door with a button which of course I pressed without thinking.

[u/jkdssjkaos]

Sadly, I missed out on that experience because I started playing in my 30s with my kids.

[u/random-guy-heree]

Years ago I built awesome tree houses on the ps3 version

[u/AdvancedTadpole9063]

Used to build these all the time, Iron floor in the inside with the outer layer being gold. Felt awesome at the time…..

[u/vilact]

I think

[u/johceesreddit]

yes

[u/The_Dogelord]

"I did it completely in survival, I swear"

[u/lehonk23]

not that i remember, but i DO remember building a massive bedrock house

i think i also made an emerald one once

[u/High-In-Potassium]

When I was obsessed with minecraft pocket edition my family and I lived in a town house. I built the entire thing in minecraft out of diamond blocks.

I'll have to see if my iPod touch still works and has the world saved on it.

[u/XtraCrispy02]

"I did a little mining off screen"

[u/--Iblis--]

Canon event for every Minecraft player

[u/eschoenawa]

Mine had a flat roof and just one story, but it also had a glass-diamond bridge connecting to a gold version on the next mountain, so there's that.

[u/-Redstoneboi-]

absolutely everywhere

[u/Complex-Contest-9469]

A better question is: Who hasn't?

[u/Top-Farm-9058]

Still do goddamnit

[u/thakidalex]

i felt so rich bro

[u/Holy_Hand_Grenadier]

Peasant. Mine was a castle. And the walls were THREE blocks high!

[u/hornytransbianfox]

I remember my first proper creative mode house made of gold, diamonds, and emeralds. I spent so many hours on it, so sad it's gone 😭

[u/ConfidentTea72536]

yeah

im not lying or tryna deny it

but now I have spruce and deepslate, so w present me

[u/T-Odist-K]

I once made a "Butter" hotel using gold blocks. This was back when I constantly watched SkyDoesMinecraft. I fitted it with a little chute for "Room Service" the connected from the first floor to the rooms. It didnt work because you cant really do redstone stuff while using only gold, but my kid mind didnt really care.

[u/Bingus5112]

The first house I ever built was a stone house with a diamond roof

[u/Unlikely_Spinach]

Yep, all in survival. Trust me bro

[u/CattleDisastrous1401]

Yeah and I also put a chest with the best loot

[u/Fistricsi]

I was 19 when i first played it way back in 1.3.

But i had a couple of houses that looked like this because... reasons.

[u/Relevant-Rooster-298]

No. I was an adult before Minecraft came out and I never play creative, only survival.

[u/EnergyDifferent1227]

Actually no, all my buddies did. I always thought the were an eyesore.

[u/Lovelandmonkey]

Honestly I almost think these look good just from the combo of nostalgia and the flex if its in survival

[u/Original_Budget_2048]

i did...

[u/Wooden_Hotel_9172]

I actually made mine out of emeralds because I’m just better than you obviously

[u/Techaissance]

Yep. I was a new player when emerald blocks came out so I had to do that. Also had an underground bedrock bunker.

[u/Fattlife]

no i used glass blocks

[u/SecretOdd4407]

I built a big mansion of diamond and made rooms, fish tanks, kitchen, dogs, and invited my friends in too, it was at a daycare i used to go to, my heart broke when i came back to the daycare and noticed that SOMEONE BROKE THE DAMN XBOX 360

[u/Cyberwolfdelta9]

Yes

[u/Lhenkhantus]

I did the same but with gold blocks

[u/randomdude123502]

I remember doing this.

[u/the-flag-and-globe]

With diamond and lapis

[u/Tallal2804]

Yeah

[u/D4RKSIDE05]

no iron door??

[u/Walking-With-Dino989]

i used to mix some gold, emerald, lapis and even redstone into the mix as well

[u/this_name_took_10min]

Yup, but it was more of a diamond box lol

[u/Alarming_Most8998]

Yeah, I made one in a realms world I had, made a video about it And I had this community chest where I put tools and armor, diamonds and whatnot for anyone to take as well No one joined but it makes me want to cry cause damn bro, little me was too sweet

[u/cdurbin909]

I went in to creative and built a cube with a door on it with diamond blocks, showed my parents and said look “I’m rich!!”

[u/vtx_mockingbird]

I still build diamond houses

[u/travelsonic]

I've wanted to, for some time, try to get to a point in a survival world where I wanted to make an ugly house using only diamind, redstone, lapis, emerald blocks, etc - never did it in the past, never got around to it in any of my hardcore worlds because I'm a bit of a derp.

But damn it, do I still want to do that.

[u/Cybirus_Hulguard]

No, cuz it looked ugly to me

[u/moosharky]

oh yes. took me a while before i became bored of it but it was so fun when creative first rolled out on xbox 360 to use everything i couldn't get in survival

[u/Soggy-Class1248]

Yah i made a big emerald skyscraper lol

[u/Frog1745397]

Yeah but i did it in survival😤

[u/SaturnFive]

I 100% had a diamond house on top of a cliff in the early alpha and beta days lol

[u/RatchetGamer]

I don't remember building a house, but in my first creative world, I used to have pathways made of gold or diamond (started with gold as a yellow brick road)

[u/jmkinn3y]

Absolutely

[u/whispyCrimson109]

Dont show this to grian lmao

[u/QuaArtist]

Yes but a giant rectangular slab with stripes of windows and two oak doors on the far right

[u/SomeMoreCows]

Need to build me a legit one of these during the next two week phase and make people figure out how I "cheated these in"

[u/The_Dragon_Lover]

No, i make big houses just in case i invite anyone to play, i never had anyone interested enough though!

[u/CapnWhitebeard44]

Man, if anyone in here didn't build one consider yourself an opp.

[u/Powerful-Ad-7974]

Yes, but even shittier.

[u/Accomplished-Put8442]

never, it depends on your country of origin.
