"Minecraft Playstation Edition" is a game developed by Mojang Studios in the Year 1998 in a partnership with Sony Interactive Entertainment for the Playstation Console released in 1994, this game was a pre-cursor to the classic 'Minecraft' of 2009, although not many people are aware of it due to it being pulled from store shelves just a year after release with only a 1000 or so copies ever being sold, I was lucky enough to stumble upon a copy at a retro game store about a month ago, here's my experience with the title.
If you'd like to play the game yourself via emulation here's a link to a rom to download as finding a physical copy like myself is nearly impossible to do: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/mcsx-minecraft-ps1-edition
Thanks to xKazIsKooIx for ripping the game files to allow others to play the game
Any help to learn more about the game would be appreciated as I'm still learning about it myself and plan to continue my exploration into the title more on this channel

01/05/2024 @cjaawesome616: Can't believe mojang hid this version of the game so they could release an unfinished version of the game on pc and slow add back content that was already in the original. That is crazy
01/05/2024 @dhorus73yt85: @CrafterAurora 🤓
02/05/2024 @meridiasbeacon7669: This is a horror modpack and is clearly fake everyone is just playing along @CrafterAurora
02/05/2024 @cjaawesome616: No this is 100% real. My uncle works at Mojang.
02/05/2024 @user-jl8wj8fz5q: no its real @CrafterAurora
02/05/2024 @Deathgrips_fan: Its made from an other person
02/05/2024 @Cheerful__1: @CrafterAurora well no duh. This is suppose to be a arg (I think)
02/05/2024 @ProbAlan: @Cheerful__1 i think not
02/05/2024 @gaminganimators7000: @dhorus73yt85 what did she say? That it was fake or something?
02/05/2024 @ricedanan: What's crazy is that they did it twice with Bedrock Edition.
02/05/2024 @jwalster9412: What surprises me more is how poorly the newer version ran with less content.
02/05/2024 @KadenFinity: fr
02/05/2024 @SpringySpring04: @Cheerful__1 wait did CrafterAurora delete their comment? that's so cringe
02/05/2024 @meridiasbeacon7669: @SpringySpring04 no, I was replying to the guy who missed the joke, explaining how obvious the joke is. So... double whoosh.
02/05/2024 @SpringySpring04: @meridiasbeacon7669 a new hand touches the beacon
02/05/2024 @masahirosakurai64: It's true. I'm this guy's uncle and I work at Mojang
02/05/2024 @cjaawesome616: @masahirosakurai64 your uncle works there too that's crazy
02/05/2024 @StinkyTheRagdoll: Bruh it’s from a parallel universe you can tell just by looking at the wear and tear of the case you can tell that portal energy was to blame
02/05/2024 @CakeheadSteve: @cjaawesome616 6 yr old joke
02/05/2024 @DanteArriagada-r8t: Minecraft for PS1 made in 2010
02/05/2024 @Loliflo2: Bro the menu music is 1.18
02/05/2024 @jontheartist5918: @meridiasbeacon7669 no it’s not. The horror aspect is just a theme from the editor.
02/05/2024 @meridiasbeacon7669: @jontheartist5918 no yea it is you're welcome to look it up
02/05/2024 @BEBO_2002: Ik this is a mod, but really imagine burning this onto a cd to play on a console, this would be so fire 🔥. Playing this with a ps1 controller would be awesome
02/05/2024 @YouTubeShortsWarsFan: @meridiasbeacon7669 this is real as annoying talking orange
02/05/2024 @Lou-yf1jo: It's Fake! It's Not Real. It's A Fake Made To Trick You By This "Creator"
04/05/2024 @_mrTrojan_: @meridiasbeacon7669 but it is cool to think that minecraft could have existed for the ps1
04/05/2024 @christopherm4739: Yeah, that's what I hate about it. It doesn't remove the features of modern Minecraft. I know it demands extra coding to REMOVE features, but...this just feels....half assed.
05/05/2024 @Brickblock200: I think it because they hade to rewrite everything to java.
06/05/2024 @shyannelarrabee8259: Yes plz do keep playing Along
06/05/2024 @shyannelarrabee8259: @cjaawesome616 no its not real but plz play along
09/05/2024 @420lehtoo: Classic video game companies at it yet again
09/05/2024 @khrisbro: It's fake, lil bro.
02/05/2024 @funnypeashootercreature: ay sorry to break immersion, but i just gotta give out my massive support for the project, both the video and how it was edited and the modpack itself, i can see a ton of love has been put into it and it shows, the way items render, all the way up to the tiny details like using bars for hunger, health and armor, really nicely done stuff! there are some very few criticisms, like how it uses the beta logo instead of the stone/cobblestone logo from alpha, but otherwise, this is an absolutely amazing project! and it gives it more dread and immersion than modern minecraft, cheers and keep up the good work!
02/05/2024 @showtimeryanspizzaworld: What's the mod pack???
02/05/2024 @sweetcorm: I’d also note that the music is 1.19+…
02/05/2024 @theDragoon007yaboiCJ: my only other complain is raw iron instead of classic iron blocks
02/05/2024 @gamezboi_: and also the 3d rendering being wonky like that
02/05/2024 @gangsterwangsterman8417: @gamezboi_ isnt it supposed to be wonky to emulate the ps1 flawed rendering
02/05/2024 @gamezboi_: @gangsterwangsterman8417 yea thats what i said
02/05/2024 @Sezenian: Auch! No! My immersion!!! X'D
02/05/2024 @naxostomb: @gangsterwangsterman8417 the psx actually turns out to be a ps2 with some other features, so a bit more modern
02/05/2024 @Lou-yf1jo: It's Fake! It's Not Real. It's A Fake Made To Trick You By This "Creator"
02/05/2024 @gamezboi_: @Lou-yf1jo r/woooosh
02/05/2024 @Sezenian: @Lou-yf1jo Booo! You're the most unfunny kid on YouTube
03/05/2024 @captainfach: Damn I was hoping this was a Homebrew rather than a modpack. It would be awesome to see somebody actually put this on a PS1 somehow
06/05/2024 @Damian-cilr2: @captainfach i mean the latest verison you would THEORETICALLY be able to make that is survival even is probably alpha 1.0.0,but i'm not even sure about that since someone did make a homebrew ps1 minecraft thing but its creative 0.30 and it runs at 30 fps,still would be cool to see someone try...
02/05/2024 @bloodystatic4156: Time traveler:
The timeline:
02/05/2024 @MakerManX: Every copy of minecraft PSX is personalized
02/05/2024 @user-yz9gg1hw5m: nah mpsx is alyways its wonky self
02/05/2024 @Bluecat-mi8: real
10/05/2024 @BombermanUltra: I can confirm this statement is true.
02/05/2024 @RageBird7200: This game was soo ahead of it's time, it was even created 11 years before mojang existed.
Edit: I already know that there isn't a real PS1 edition of minecraft, so don't try to correct me.
02/05/2024 @xxxkingxl: but mojang's logo is on the box
02/05/2024 @EclipseAnimates: @xxxkingxl that's how ahead of their time they were
02/05/2024 @RageBird7200: The game came from the future into the PS1 era. @xxxkingxl
02/05/2024 @jsr734: Time travel is real dude! 😆
02/05/2024 @strateupgamr7: @Loliflo2
It's not "fake" it's a story. Welcome to online story telling.
02/05/2024 @runewolf77: Yeah WTF is this!? 🤯
02/05/2024 @Neo_Animations1234: Correction: Minecraft is a game that 1.0 released officially in 2011 And the studio was exist since 2009 (the same year that Minecraft was on BETA development)
02/05/2024 @Lou-yf1jo: It's Fake! It's Not Real. It's A Fake Made To Trick You By This "Creator"
02/05/2024 @v0idsparkles4634: @Lou-yf1jo my god, its not made to 'trick you' its a story made up for entertainment 💀💀💀 how stupid can people be nowadays that we forgot stories are a thing.
02/05/2024 @SporianSummit: the real first minecraft was on arcades, and it was even more advanced than this poor excuse of a 3d rebuild
04/05/2024 @MuffinTheGamer2009: @SporianSummit bro, it's a fucking modpack
04/05/2024 @SporianSummit: @MuffinTheGamer2009 the arcade minecraft aint though, and thats a fact
04/05/2024 @fanteo777: @strateupgamr7 Not even fake. It's a mod for Java. Played it and super interesting.
04/05/2024 @tvmrepic: There's no way people would actually believe that mcps1 is real 💀💀💀
The "ps1 edition" of Minecraft is just a modpack
04/05/2024 @fanteo777: @tvmrepic It's an ARG series. Obviously it's not real, and it's trying to be
04/05/2024 @kubanrhs1310: Ur edits are invalidated
04/05/2024 @kubanrhs1310: @FishycraftThePissedFurry already seeing you here is a war crime enough to start planet war
05/05/2024 @angeltoad4657: When was mojang founded

09/05/2024 @XCallofdutypro_x: Nice try fed
09/05/2024 @SiggyTundra: No there was bro I mean it's in the video
02/05/2024 @MaxLai_0104: this was so ahead of its time, it even had raw iron and all tiers of tools, and SNOWIER SNOW!
02/05/2024 @BlockyTheBrickMaster: This comment is so 2013-2016
02/05/2024 @BlockyTheBrickMaster: @KatTheCaz wdym by "so?"
Its a compliment
02/05/2024 @KatTheCaz: @BlockyTheBrickMaster Huh. Okay. Didnt seem like a compliment but if it was, im sorry.
02/05/2024 @BlockyTheBrickMaster: @KatTheCaz it was a compliment and it's fine
02/05/2024 @Pwnz0rServer2009: @BlockyTheBrickMaster to be completely honest it does not look like a compliment to me either
02/05/2024 @BlockyTheBrickMaster: @Pwnz0rServer2009 well I meant in a compliment
I'm not very good with English
02/05/2024 @leggotheeggodemon1323: @BlockyTheBrickMaster Saying somthing is so (date) Can be taken many ways.
Saying this "is so 2013 -2016" usually in most contexts would be seen as an attempted insult.
Like that shirt is sooo last year.... usually dating somthing is considered in more contexts insulting unless what you are watching is meant to capture that time or is from that time.
02/05/2024 @Lou-yf1jo: It's Fake! It's Not Real. It's A Fake Made To Trick You By This "Creator"
no such thing as raw iron too.
02/05/2024 @MaxLai_0104: @Lou-yf1jo do you even play minecraft? we all know raw iron was released in the cave update, and that this is so obviously the developers hiding this amazing, ahead of its time game
03/05/2024 @leokinpro01leonardo4: @Lou-yf1jo raw iron exists wdym?
03/05/2024 @Lou-yf1jo: @MaxLai_0104 raw iron doesn't exist. Only iron Ingot and iron ore.
03/05/2024 @Lou-yf1jo: @leokinpro01leonardo4 it does not exist.
04/05/2024 @KuQuack: Snowier snow is always great
04/05/2024 @shadow-squid4872: Dont forget white beds, berries and foxes
04/05/2024 @MaxLai_0104: @Lou-yf1jo okay so, the thing is you might be playing on an old version, before raw ores were implemented. what version do you play? raw ores were implemented in the 1.17 caves and cliffs part 1 update
01/05/2024 @crumbslord: I saw this game at a garage sale once, but I thought it was fake so I didn't pick it up. I never would've actually believed that it was real.
01/05/2024 @MCPSXARCHIVE: I wonder how many copies are still out there then 🤔
01/05/2024 @cjaawesome616: @MCPSXARCHIVE I actually heard it got recalled but i don't have a source on that. There might only be a few thousand copies left in the wild.
01/05/2024 @MCPSXARCHIVE: @cjaawesome616 That's also what I've heard, I'd love to look into it more
02/05/2024 @Mykecylium: You seem like you'd be fun at a party :) @CrafterAurora
02/05/2024 @JP-dv7rf: @CrafterAurora Yes well done Sherlock.
02/05/2024 @sboy2044: @CrafterAurora Bro they’re just playing along, let people have fun
