What is the oldest block in Minecraft? When was lava or water added to the game? How old are redstone and pistons? Let's answer these questions and compare the ages of Minecraft blocks!

In this comparison video, I look at the ages of different Minecraft blocks! I compare them, and we're going to discover together how old the oldest block in Minecraft really is! And on the way there, we are going to compare all blocks in the game, from netherrack and end stone to the sapling and ender dragon egg!

Disclaimer: I do my best researching these videos, but inaccuracies may have still slipped by me. I'm sorry, should you find any!

I won't lie, but this video was a bit of a pain to make. It took forever, and I mean FOREVER, to get all the images to use in this video. I ended up with over 1300 images of block icons. And then I still had to research the history of all the blocks. Before I started working on this video, I had the naive thought that I could get the video done reasonably quickly, but OH BOY, WAS I WRONG.

To get the images, I made screenshots from the Minecraft player inventory in different Minecraft versions, cut the icons out, ordered them, and scaled them up using a program I wrote. I made a lot of effort to get the old block icons of when each block was first added to the game. But there are quite a few instances where I couldn't get my hand on the right textures for specific Minecraft versions, so you have to be satisfied with the best-matching images I could get.

Anyway, it's done. Now scroll up, and enjoy me comparing the age of a zillion Minecraft blocks! From fire and command blocks to mob spawners and cobblestones, this video compares them all. Well, you get the idea.
