With all the updates, versions, builds, and mods, it's hard to believe how far Minecraft has come. The full game was released in 2011 but it had been available in Early Access since 2009. Mycms.org It is easy to forget how much has changed since the original game was released. Thankfully, this new trailer gives a beautiful insight into all that's changed.
This is a fan-made recreation of the original Minecraft trailer. Redditor RedAdventurer11 posted their updated take on Mojang's first big tease, and it's a joy to watch, especially if you compare it to the original. It follows the same general path as the official one, but shows off all of the new features and biomes that have come to the game over the last decade.

Frankly, it does a far better job of selling the game just because of how much new content has been added. RedAdventurer11 made it a point to show the major updates in order, as LennyTheSpider pointed out. The section begins at around 58 seconds. It shows the ice spikes beginning at 1.7, the ocean monuments beginning at 1.8, and the end city fights starting from 1.9.
It's an excellent detail that helps to bring a sense in time and progression to the video. RedAdventurer11 wasn't expecting people to notice this - but the Minecraft Community never ceases to amaze. This restored trailer is a wonderful piece of nostalgia and it's easy to smile while watching it.
