A memory of my first time playing Minecraft in December 2013 recently sprang to mind, and I would like to share it with you.
This was back in the day when the Minecraft app was still called Minecraft: Pocket Edition, back in the day when the Nether had not yet been brought to Pocket Edition and was instead substituted by an item called the Nether reactor core, back in the day where there were only two difficulty settings, back in the day where you could die in Creative Mode by falling into the Void, back in the day of the cherished cyan flower, back in the day before bats, boats, cave spiders, commands, dungeons, emeralds, endermen, experience, guardians, hunger, illagers, infinite worlds, mineshafts, mutton, ocean temples, redstone, silverfish, skins, sprinting, strongholds, villagers or villages, witches, woodland mansions, and (most importantly of all) squids.
I was a stranger to Minecraft back then, and I remember thinking the minecart was actually named "Minecraft" and you had to hold it in your hand to break blocks. I also had no idea what flying was, and often a time I would accidently activate the feature, and would find myself hovering in midair for no apparent reason.
The first time I played Survival Mode, I was surprised to discover that blocks could not be broken instantly, and instead you had to stand there punching them. I also had no idea that monsters could not spawn with the difficulty set to Peaceful, and I was confused when no monsters came out at night. I had no idea what creepers or skeletons were or what they did, and my first encounter with a monster was quite memorable. It was dusk and I thought I saw a cow with glowing red horns. You guessed it... it was a spider! (I found that out the hard way.)

Yes! I remember that!
