My first experience on Minecraft was when I was around 9 or 8 ish. I first got introduced to Minecraft via by tons of videos like (DanTDM Mod showcases) (PopularMMOs lucky block challenge) (Stampy). I then later on asked my parents if I could get a PS3, and I got one. They also bought me Minecraft PS3 Edition because they always saw we constantly binge watching DanTDM videos, probably the first ever world I opened up and played (not generated) was the tutorial world, the version of it was TU14. I never really played much survival because I was scared of the zombies and skeletons. How about you guys?
My first experience with Minecraft, I remember clear as day.
It was in first grade, and a couple of my classmates were discussing this game called "Minecraft". "Oh, it's really scary when it turns to nighttime," one said, "I hate when the zombies and spiders come out. Real gorey stuff."
Somebody who has no frame of reference for what a game like this might look like will definitely imagine Minecraft as an incredibly scary game -- keep in mind that I used to have arachnophobia too, so I was really scared to try it out.
A few months after that, I discovered this tour of a map called "Funland 3" on YouTube, there were a bunch of rollercoasters, loved it. I should explore it again sometime.
Then a few months after that, I managed to download the old Minecraft trial version, I really loved the demo world. A few weeks after that, I convinced my mom to get me Minecraft 1.7 - and that was that.
