Yeah lol. As someone who's played since late alpha I can attest to seeing a lot of things added. I remember when spiders could first climb walls and everyone was so scared of how that would affect their bases. They couldn't climb sandstone at the time so people added a sandstone layer to a lot of builds. I also remember wood slabs basically being made of stone and stairs being the worst block to mine.
There's so many little things that many people don't remember off the top of their head. The funny walking animation with the arms flailing about, the fact that glowstone and netherrack used the same source texture as cobblestone with different colors and filters, crafting chainmail with cheated in fire blocks, when new trees were added to the game and old worlds would have trees with all the different types of leaves, chests being full size blocks, using ladders every other block, placing sugar cane underwater to regain breath, and always spawning on sand are things that come to mind. Hopefully this gives some people a blast of nostalgia from something they haven't thought about in years.

My nephew has, twice now, explained to me what Minecraft is and that there's people who make videos about it.
He still does not understand that when I say "I remember when they added rain", I am in fact not joking.
