How long have you been playing minecraft

I've been playing since around 2012-2013 iirc. I probably have around 2000-3000 hours played, most likely more. I've stuck around so long because of the community and, above all, the mods. Servers like Hypixel have also fed my love for the game and I end up playing for hours. Not to mention, I absolutely love playing modded servers and solo survival and can play for 6+ hours every day just building new machines, magical contraptions, etc on modded. My favorite modpacks are Skyfactory, Terrafirmapunk, SevTech Ages, Regrowth, and Blightfall. Some older packs I've played are Legends, Attack of the BTeam, and Tekkit. If you haven't played any of these packs I would highly encourage you do because they are absolutely fantastic!
