My father was actually one of the first 100 to play. I remember the digital home video tapes he would show me of him and his friend creating an account. The account he has is long gone due to an old hard drive failure but he was the person who got me playing in 2010 and even went with me to minecon 2011. Unfortunately, I don't play anymore but I will still login periodically to see what is up. I am just stunned to see a video like this about the first Minecraft player to play. It really gives me a reminder that my dad is the reason I found the game and made so many memories on. Also great video! -creator of thepositivebot

I have a few questions 1. Is fartron on the early players list? 2. What user IDs are the first few people on the early players list?

@mcbyt 2 ай бұрын

1. Fartron actually isn't on the early players list - my guess is that he probably played the preclassic versions (essentially demos) but didn't make his Minecraft account until a bit later, so he didn't show up in earlyplayers.txt 2. We know eatwhitefish is 48550, but we don't have the list of all the others publicly available - user IDs can be used in nefarious ways, especially against valuable accounts, so the friends that discovered this never made the full list public. I was only given the go-ahead to talk about eatwhitefish after 3 years :p

The next layer of progression after tools and armor: Accessories: It Increases player’s stats like hit points, block reach, jump hieght, inventory slots… . An Additional heart icons will appear for the player. Accessories are crafted with blocks of ore (blocks of diamond, iron…) and unique loot from epic dungeons. They have levels just like tools and armor according to the ore it’s made of, just like armor and tools. They are spread through the dimension they are useful for, for example to craft the one who extends block reach, one should go to caves(trail chambers), adding inventory slots -> the end, adding breath points/bubbles oceans and adding hit points/hearts -> warden dimension… .

when markus first gave us access, there were no accounts. you also could not play on the network or online. you just clicked "start game" and that was it. there was no creative mode, only a handful of blocks and zombies dropped feathers for some reason iirc. there only were a few people interested in the game and we would chat with markus about what we liked and what could be improved (jumping was pretty bad i.e., like you were in space or something). so i doubt this guy was the first player (i do not even remember this username tbh). if you are after the first account, i would guess that would have been markus himself, as he had to test the stuff.

@mcbyt 2 ай бұрын

Yeah - technically, this would be the first created account rather than the first player. There would have been people playing the demo without an account before this point, but as far as I'm concerned, Minecraft was only a demo until Notch began selling the game, so the first "player" would be eatwhitefish. It's a complicated thing to calculate haha
