i found out about minecraft in early february this year from my brother, i bought the beta version almost immediately and started playing both classic and beta

after about 15 days of playing on many different server i finally found World of Minecraft and have never plated in another community since

as soon as the World of Minecraft smp server was announced, i was playing there for hours everyday and having loads of fun

i was promoted to forum mod about a month ago

i have made a couple of skins, but after the first few attempts i decided that was a bad idea so i stuck to making things ingame

thats pretty much my whole minecraft story, i look forward to hearing others

I don't know when I found minecraft, I guess it began on a site a long way away, where at first look I thought minecraft was something like world of warcraft or spacecraft or some MMORPG game (which I don't like), but my interest grew when I saw a youtube video of minecraft, from there came more youtube, then finally I began playing classic, and after that, I found beta, but only recently within this year did I learn about World of Minecraft, I found a server in classic that said World of Minecraft (world of minecraft) there I began playing on the server, and afterwards I found out about this website, then finally after such a long time, I found the client, that gave me joy in a gray world, so I have been going from one place to another, but haven't been able to use mods in beta (I just downloaded audio mod today) so I don't know what's coming next...

that's my story-

Me and my friend at school are big nerds in year 8 we played Minecraft on our laptops OUTSIDE!The biggest nerd of the group was playing Inferminer, while the rest of us where playing cod 4. I asked him if i could play and he gave it to me on a USB. We played all lunch. The next day i was ready to play Inferminer (yes i was practicing Inferminer by myself). But then my same friend was playing Minecraft, i thought it was a great game just by watching. I asked for Minecraft (only classic was out then) and then my friend say that you can play it online so i went on minecraft.net and joined the server he was on. When i got home i searched for some servers and played for ages i found a great server called: GETOUT3:JK. Or something like that, but that server doesn't exist anymore. Now i play beta make minecraft videos for you tube and own a server. Thats my story cant wait to see the next one

my brother showed me minecraft and told me about how he used to play this when I was his age, etc. then we played on his server and got addicted, I played minecraft beta single player for a while, then found World of Minecraft, and here I am now.

I spawned. I walked. I fell in lava.

I was on a chat once, this March, when someone posted a link to a YouTube video, and it was a video showing Herobrine. I was thinking, "What the heck? What game is this?" I researched it a little, and found out it was called Minecraft. Later, (about a day), I found the Yogscast, and watching all of their Minecraft videos, I learned more about the game. I have been stuck with the game because I love it so much. My friend has already bought a code for me, and I am waiting for it to arrive in my email inbox! He plays Minecraft too!

P.S. I still watch the Yogscast, and still like them! :)

I was on an online chat and I was asking about good java games. Someone told me to look up Markus Persson. I obviously found out about Minecraft shortly after, and I got it the day  Beta was released. A few weeks after Beta 1.5 (or was it 1.6?) and my game turned kind into a slideshow. It lagged out to 1 fps every time I started it. This was a few weeks after I joined World of Minecraft. I think I made a post about the lagging, if you look through my post history a little too hard you might find it. Anyway, a month after my Minecraft breaking, I decided to reinstall it finally, and it worked. I'm getting a little far in my Minecraft history, after all this is just to post how you found out about Minecraft.

@jak2131: You should really watch them! :) But if you want to watch their Minecraft videos, look for their Minecraft video playlist, go to season 1, and watch the first video. They start off with the basics in the first few videos, have fun creating a home in the next few, but about 10 or 15 videos later, they find people and a village (This was when Beta first came out... I'm pretty sure they created all of this), and it starts to turn into a series. Later, in season 2, it turns into a real series called "Shadow of Israphel" (You'll find out who Israphel is if you keep watching), which is still going today and isn't finished. Check it out! You really should!
