In this episode, we explore "Legend of the Chambered," a precursor game created by Markus "Notch" Persson back in 2001. Discover how this early project influenced the beloved game of Minecraft, from familiar items and mechanics to the mobs and gameplay elements we know today. Plus, engage with the Minecraft community in our Poll Time segment about beehives and hear listener comments on bee farms and more.
