The weird / liminal side of 2011 Minecraft
Minecraft for all it's beauty - has kind of a werid vibe to it at times. I think it's a mixture of the fog, lighting, and old block textures.
But this kind of weirdness is what lead to early creepy rumors like the existence of herobrine. It was a world that felt unexplored and untamed, which is a recipe for disaster for a wandering mind.
I do miss this era, but looking back definitely gives me the creeps at times.
