I joined mid-2010 and the game was amazing. I liked how simple everything was. I started making servers about 2 weeks after buying the game and all of my friends would come to play on it with me. Not sure I like that the game is getting more complicated, but I guess it's good that we add new content every once in a while. Still a great game!

My first night was, well, not to generic. It was back before there were beds, before spiders could climb walls, before anyone knew what the hell redstone was, around 1.0 Beta. If I got the version guessing wrong, then deal with it. When the night was something to be afraid of, and you didn't just click on a bed and waited for your mommy to kiss everything better. Nothing really scared me a lot. I already knew about what night entailed: zombies, spiders, creepers, and the occasional cow, sheep or pig interrupting the zombies. I did, however, manage to scare my brother and sister half way to death with a creeper. Minecraft is do weird now and TBH, I don't have the latest version cause i think its utter crap. Release 1.2.5 is what I got, and its where it was best. If you hate me for saying that, go bark up your own tree cause it ain't changing to the newer crap. (well except to play on Hypixel's quake-server-gamemode-thing-of-magic-and-amazing-programming.)

My first time in minecraft, unlike most people i didn't go on Survival, i was flicking through the game modes and found "Creative Mode" and thought "hey since i'm a creative person, why don't i go try it?"
At first i wasn't really that much of a MC freak, i went on it now and then, and built some stuff.
Unfortunately when i was in my first world, not long after making it, i accidently double tapped the space bar, and flew into the air.
At first i thought this was cool, until realized "How do i get down from here!?"
So i ended up deleting a bunch of worlds and making new ones and trying to remind my self "Dont double tap the space bar"
The first time i went on my first MC server i found, i asked people how to get off flying?
Turns out you just had to double tap space while flying or hold down shift.
So yeah, i ended up playing and spending almost all of my MC time on servers, and that is where the addiction began.
Also, eventually, i heard of Survival Mode and heard how people always started on it, so i made a Survival Mode world.
Yeah and also i started in 1.5.1 yes you heard me correctly 1.5.1
Also don't kill me for starting in Creative Mode on my first world !!
Oh wow. I started playing Minecraft in Alpha 1.0.17_04, so around late August 2010. I spawened on a nice little beach overlooking the sea and right from the start I had a vision. A castle connected to the sea and a moat around it so I would be protected from the mobs. I knew about the mobs and basic toolmaking but not much else. The very first building I made was a small cobblestone hut which doesn't exist any more. But the castle that rose up around it still does, and the basement I tirelessly dug out from the sand and the rock beneath.
I used Creative Flight mode to take the picture, otherwise I play on survival exclusively.
I died naturally. A lot. But I grew more enlightened with every death. So I explored, mined, built and slowly conquered the lands of Minecraft bit by bit. (Or byte by byte. ;P)
And I built a lot of things over the years. And yes, that is my first and only world, a world that is 3 years old soon and still alive and well.
Statue of my first skin.
The Angel Heart lined with dandilions and a field of over 400 hand-picked roses.
An automated harvesting tower for sugar cane. Or as they where at the time, reeds.
A plaza for my villagers. The clay brick I used for the roof took two days to collect from the depths of the South Ocean Divide. (Respiration 3 and Aqua Affinity Helmet with Night Vision potions FTW! They where invaluable.)
A long house for my villagers when I first started populating my village.
A storage house for all the cobble, dirt, sand and whatnot building blocks I have dug up. Four double chests in height and nine rows long if I recall correctly. In total 144 double chests. I think. '>_>
The Great Tower of Time. An addition I made to my castle for a mod I used (Mystcraft) when I went on an exploring spree.
An automated wheat farm with expansion, water harvesting and hopper collection naturally. All controlled with one lever each.
And perhaps my most taxing but the build I'm most proud off. The Sky Bridge! This is just a small part of it. The completed thing will stretch over 3 000 blocks, across the South Ocean Divide and into a new land. It has a two-way railway for fast transport, scenic walking routes outside, or a sheltered lit indoor promenade with a green wool floor and rest-stops.
For a comparison there are 64 blocks in-between each support pillar.
(Remember the large cobblestone structure in the first picture and in the wheat farm? That is the start of this bridge.)

I remember my first night well.
After my friend telling me about men in green backpacks with tnt on their stomachs, I knew what to expect, until i saw a creeper. It didn't kill me, so I went and dug a hole 3 deep and and sat in there. The first night came and I had 7 wood planks and some dirt, so I started punching everything, dirt, cobble, coal, kind of annoyed I wasn't getting anything from it except the dirt, I had a nice hole in the ground, pitch black and no fur nature, it was still nice. When morning came, I built out and was mauled by zombies
can't remember my first time. but the earliest memories i have are of endless snow worlds where it was perpetually snowing. i loved them, and have missed them ever since they were removed. snow came back with biomes, but it's just not the same. i still miss them.
I wasn't terribly interested in the survival aspect of the game when I started. Which was a shame, because Creative Mode wouldn't happen for another six major updates. The very first thing I did was put it on peaceful and wandered around until I found a moderately flat piece of land, because I wanted a castle.
About three in-game days later, I found a good place. I punched some trees and made a few quick wooden tools, and got to work mining cobblestone. And mining. And mining. I'd fill up my inventory, only to have it empty again before I finished even laying the foundations. So I'd go mine more. And then in the process of laying things out, I'd find that I'd seriously mis-counted something, and would have to painstakingly break all that cobble I'd just laid down.
Then I decided that cobble and stone were boring, and what I really needed were some brick floors. Good luck, my friend, because this was 1.2. Do you remember how difficult it was to find clay in 1.2? I do! I never found any!
That was about the time I started looking into INVEdit. Oh, INVEdit, you glorious thing. It was clunky, and had to be done in a very particular way. But it meant that I had everything available to me! All of the blocks, mine to command! I could build higher, I could use obsidian for the roofs. And when I cocked it up and mis-laid a block, I could close the map, give myself a diamond pick, and spend eight minutes fixing that mistake. And then when I'd fall off my roof — because hey, who needs flight when building a castle, right? — I had to hope I hadn't destroyed my bed because it was in the way of something I'd added to the castle. And if I had, well. Sucked to be me. Get walking, boy.
But I loved that castle. I spent hours on that castle, and eventually worked out how MCEdit works and moved it to a new map. But I never did finish it either, but I wouldn't really say that's a bad thing. I mean, each new update gives us new blocks to play with.
And try though I may, I cannot get even half of the damn thing into a screen shot.
i started playing in late 2009. my first night i spent hiding in a 3 deep hole in a snow biome knowing that i didn't stand a chance if a creeper was near. after that i decided that snow was an "excellent" building material and it is still one of my favorite blocks just because it's cheap and renewable
Mine? Heh, mine was.... different..
I started out at 1.3.2.
While I was downloading the game, I was watching a few SkyDoesMinecraft videos.
Then, I played it.
A small amount of time later (2-5 min.) I was searching cheats, mods, videos, wikis, and other stuff that could help me,
And then, I modded my MC to the maximum amount I could.
Then, at 1.5.2, I realized.
I said, "What's the point of all this, where I could do everything flawlessly, but removing the aspect of the game fully."
Then, I start my first unmodded world.
I knew lots of aspects already, so I was a survival expert then. (Cuz' I was on easy :P)
Get wood,
Make crafting table,
Get cobblestone,
Make full set of stone tools & furnace,
Make a door,
Two Chests,
And look for sheep.
I had crafted a bed at that time,
And luckily got 8 iron.
I made an iron & stone sword,
Killed some cows,
and made armor.
Then, night began.
Monsters spawning everywhere.
Then, it hit me.
Hard.
In the foot.
I died.
CUZ' OF FRIGGIN' FALL DAMAGE! (A zombie pushed me to the edge of a cliff, & my sword & armor was depleted of use.(Don't ask why.))
I started when the game was in classic. It didn't seem like much so I just never played. About an year later, it came to beta and that's when I saw it. The only reason I played the beta was because there were tnt blocks in classic but you couldn't blow them up.
My first night was freaky. I didn't know mobs existed so I got screwed by pretty much everything and a skeleton finished me off. I read the wiki and crafted my first tool- the wooden pickaxe
Once upon a time in Minecraftia. There was a newly spawned player called Nick111211.
He had played xbox 360 edition before but never on the computer.
I spawned in a swamp and spent my first 10 Minutes adjusting the controls on my Macbook Pro then gave up and decided to go back to my desk and put the mouse in (that made it a LOT easier).
I decided to build a dirt house and was very proud of it!
I was very new to the crafting system in the computer edition so had to have a constantly open page on Minecraft Wiki so I could look up crafting recipes. Eventually my house was done. And my first night fell. I was terrified! I spent the time in the "finished house" (that was only 3 high dirt walls) and beat spiders to death with my fist! I do not know how I didn't die! the next morning I got some wood but a skeleton was guarding the tree I was determined to get! Eventually him I beat to death as well!!! And got the tree. After the 3 floors of my house were were done! I had a mine inside, a door, ladders up to the floors and a lack of torches. This is where the fun stops. A creeper had blown some of the ladders down so I repaired them. I crafted a bed but the annoying message saying "You cant sleep now monsters are near" appeared and guess what a did. I went to the top floor of the house and just before I could get there a spider jumped on my head! I idiotically continued going to find a mob party on the roof of my house! I fled down the ladders and down to the first floor to be haunted by mob sounds. I eventually heard foot steps and shortly after I pressed ESC, Clicked Exit and save to title. Went into single player clicked on that world and clicked Delete.
That was my first single player world on Minecraft 1.2.5
By the way I now can mod on Minecraft. I also own my own server and am a pro.
I used to play this game called Spiral Knights (mmo) ... I had many friends there... suddenly I got banned for no reason... all my friends helped me revolt against my ban. But no use... I needed a new game to get addicted to... Suddenly! A very close friend of mine commented try this site: www.minecraft.net I trusted her and opend the site and then grief struck me... pay or no game... when I spoke about this to my friend she said 'Haha... even I got that shock. That's why we have cracked!' (YA I PLAY CRACKED, FACE IT! I'm just too poor. ) She gave me the link to anjocaido's launcher. I downloaded it and then I ran it.
I soon realized that u run around and punch blocks (like grass... which break with 1 click)
That it? I felt agitated this time and started punching a tree... yep tats how I found wood. Then I started pressing all the buttons to find some sort of menu. It wasn't hard pressing the 'E' and finding the thing inventory. I started dragging wood and made planks... made stikcs, made a trapdoor, and a door and then I tried a combination! A WOODEN HOE! Eureka! I realized that this game was much more than running and punching blocks. well I figured tat I would need a house as they have a 'DOOR'. Well believe it or not my first house was a 1x1x2 house on top of a tree. Cool eh? Then the sun slowly faded away and BAM! I already had guests... a spidey. I respawned and then I got a nice mind-blowing (literally) welcome back to my tree. I was so darn scared tat I jumped of my chair (This is true, I even got goose-bumps). And I hit the X button on the top. Then I gathered courage and restarted the game.

My first night was in 2012, version 1.2.5 After watching SeaNanners's let's play I decided to buy it. I kept spam clicking wood and wondered why it wasn't breaking, I dived into water and couldn't surface!!
I started playing Minecraft on my birthday in 2009, June 1st. About a month after it's release. I came into this new world with bewilderment and amazement. I created a new world and stepped into a new universe, one I hadn't expected to evolve to the point that it has. I wandered aimlessly threw a flat alpha forest until I came across a quaint forest meadow. There I began punching tree's because there seemed nothing else to do to aid me in proceeding. After about 5 trees I decided to start self-teaching myself how to craft objects. I managed a crafting table and some sticks, and boy was I proud of myself. After placing my bench in the center of the meadow I noticed a slight dimness coming from *old west and thought, hmm maybe it would be a good idea to build a shed for my stuff. So I used what little remaining planks I had to create a small 4x5 blocky home. After that I gave the game a break and went on to youtube where I met 2 of the funniest and most informative people of my minecraftian life, if I could say anything about them it would be they are the mythbusters of minecraft, Simon and Louis of the Yogscast. They taught me new things like how to craft a sword and a pick. I began digging under the surface of the overworld, and I haven't stopped to this day.

Before I actually started playing minecraft, I enjoyed Cheatlikeachamp's videos of it. It's more of a hobby. Really. I used to look forward to it every week. I admired the game as he commented and made survival walkthroughs of the game. Soon, my friend Yves made a post of the game. I was surprised that the game was memory slick. I thought it was something big. So I gave it a shot. I downloaded it, loaded it and started on my world.
On my first spawn, I was close to a river near a forest, I had no clue on what to do. I didn't have an idea on how to start. Night came and the monsters came out. I was slightly petrified of the fact that everything in the night wants me dead. The worst part was is that 2-3 zombies chased me. I had no idea how to sprint so I tried crossing the river in hope that I could lose them. But they still pursuited. It was something like the movies. The main guy being chased in the river, looking back and forth and seeing your demise. At last, I found a bank, I crossed it and a creeper blew me.
I made a new world and deleted the previous because I dislike bad starts. The same thing happened again and made a new one (Again) but this time, it was a seed, it had a village. I hitch hiked a house with them and it was getting dark. Zombies started to come. They passed through the window as I watch the horde come in. Soon, the clanking of door sounded. I came outside to check it out and I got ambushed.
That's when I started reading guides and tidbits of the game and finally, I knew what to do so that's how my existence in the game progressed.
Let's see here... My first night. Well, it was certainly before beds if I remember correctly. A friend had told me about the game and, while I waited to ensure I had some spare change and time in order to buy the game, I remember watching through the first of PSJ's (PaulSoaresJr's) tutorials before he had become a Mindcracker.
My first night, I had done just as he had. I looked for coal, dug a hole in the wall and made that my shelter. Like yourself however, I too had a large cave opening shortly after my home was excavated. Fully aware of the dangers, I had already crafted several wooden tools in order to protect myself but, as an armor-less babe, I was still quite vulnerable to creepers and skeles. Regardless, I made a small staircase as I listened to PSJ's careful instruction in his video, and continued on, comforted by his lightheartedness. A night of adventure and near death was had but, I came out of my cave with an abundance of coal and iron... and scrapes and cuts. I was both alive and enchanted by the new game, Minecraft.
