What is Minecraft's "Golden Age?"

Over the past few months, my mind has been set on a recent point of interest in the Minecraft community: the game’s “Golden Age.” But, what could garner such a prestigious title? And how could the acceptance and embracing of this era impact Minecraft’s future, and its community?

This was a surprisingly hefty undertaking of a video. I’ve had so much that I’ve wanted to talk about in regards to early Minecraft versions but was never able to say it all concisely. There’s always more I could talk about when it comes to this topic... but I think having this video out there will speak for the majority of my current thoughts.

This is also my first video to use facecam since I’ve come back to YouTube. I’m still trying to figure a few odds and ends out on the production side of things, so don’t be surprised if some things are a bit rough around the edges. Also, the couple audio stuttering issues are just Davinci Resolve doing its thing. They're problems that only result after rendering. If anyone has any fixes for them, please let me know :) Thanks for watching!
