That didn’t exist back in 2011. Back then you pretty much “finished” the game pretty easily in under an hour as far as getting the best gear available. Iron was more than good enough though and took even less time to get. At least once you have a bit of an idea how to play anyway.

For a game like minecraft where progression is so quick does it really matter? Oh no I lost an iron sword. That won’t take 5 minutes to replace…

That is pretty much how our lunchtimes went in the school computer room around 2011 or so.
