This video contains about 2 minutes of Biohazard Code Veronica footage from TGS Spring 99. I've never seen this footage before. This was about 11 months before the game came out. Unlike the videos from TGS Autumn 99, the game audio is mostly present with minimal VO.

I doubt that very many people would have installed this update and found diamonds within 22 minutes. This could be the one.

They could have been lying, but I don't really care. It was just fun to answer such a frivolous question, and I was kinda itching to dig through Minecraft's IRC logs anyway.

Chat log dated 28 January 2010. The username has been blotted out for privacy reasons. It reads: "I found emerald 😃".

(It should be noted that Diamonds were called Emeralds during development)

After digging through the logs a bit, I found that the Indev v0.31 update came out around 22:02 UTC that day.

Just 22 minutes later, someone claimed to have found diamonds. This is probably the earliest documented instance.

Diamonds were first added to Minecraft on 28 January 2010, ~22:30 UTC. This was the exact moment I wanted to find in the logs.

I didn't actually know where to find the logs, but lucked out with this link that was posted on the Minecraft article on the Lost Media Wiki.

... When I watched this video about the early history of Minecraft. This one shows off several old chat logs from the game's official IRC channels.

That made me think: Could these old chat logs contain the first instance of someone finding a diamond?

🧵 I remember watching this video about a year ago. Most of its runtime was spent reading forum posts from January & February of 2010. It didn't really come to any meaningful conclusions.

I completely forgot about all this, until recently, when ...
