Hey guys! I am a Minecraft fan, I have made a whole heap of useful changes to the Mods and Outdated Mods Page and I am the Official Curator of the Mods Page, as well as its subpages including Mods/Outdated and Mods/Installing_Mods, as well as the individual mods pages. I love technology and Minecraft is epic. I have to thank Notch, Jeb and the guys at Mojang.

How I got to know Minecraft
In early 2011, a school friend gave me Minecraft. I vaguely remember a few details: INVedit, Minecraft Version 1.2 and I also remember that it was a hacked version.

For the next few months, I didn't really have much to do with Minecraft. No-one at school was playing it (people were playing other games such as Halo and COD) and Minecraft almost disappeared.

Then in September 2011, I remember having forgotten my sport gear. Another friend had also forgotten his gear. I remember him opening his laptop and opening Minecraft. I thought it looked interesting, and uncovered my long lost Minecraft.exe which was buried somewhere in my games folder. He told me that I could do a force update, but there was no option on this early version of Minecraft. I then remember running up to my locker and back to get my USB. He gave me Minecraft, the Hacked Anjo-Caido version (although I didn't realise it at the time). The current version back then was Beta 1.8.1.

I started my first world in Creative mode. The very first memory of this world was clearing grass for a massive home. My very first house was built out of brick and had 4 levels, each level 5 blocks high. I also remembered making a very long railway track, using predominantly power rails. This world lost its charm and is now available for download here.

My first experience of multiplayer came in November 2011 where I had to create a house that would be suitable in the desert on Minecraft. I worked with a few friends on our desert house which ended up kind of failed due to the server being set up in offline mode, where our house was griefed several times by annoying classmates.

By the beginning of December 2011, I had more or less mastered the basics of survival mode. I wanted to play on real public servers, but unfortunately I was still using the hacked Minecraft Launcher. In the term break, I bought a Minecraft account under the username goandgoo. Having a legitimate account brought new horizons to the wonderful world of Minecraft.

YouTube
My experience with watching Minecraft on Youtube started with the Hatventures 1.8 Trailer on the TeamMojang Channel. One of my favourite series, and the series in which I watched all episodes was the Skyblock Series. My Youtube subscription list steadily started to grow, with the addition of the Yogcast channel, CraftedMovie, Antvenom, Chimneyswift11 and Caveman Films.

Minecraft Mods and the Wiki
During late December 2011, I discovered Mods, or modifications as a way to enhance my gameplay in Minecraft. Originally, I had TooManyItems and SinglePlayerCommands, but it eventually spread to many other mods that were helpful, interesting or funny! The Minecraft Wiki was the most reliable way to find and download mods. It was a shame that most of the information was outdated, that there were many non-outdated mods on the Outdated Mods page etc. On 14 January 2012, I registered a Minecraft Wiki account using my same Minecraft name, Goandgoo. My first edit was to move Pokemobs and the Portal Gun mod from the Outdated page to the main page. Around this time, I also created a Minecraft Forums account.

Revolutionary edits I have added to the Mods Page (and related subpages) include: and many, many updates to the mods when versions 1.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3 and 1.2.4 came out.
 * Adding section on Modding API
 * Adding section on How to Add/Edit Mods
 * Making collapsible tables to reduce the page length
 * Cleanup of the Outdated Mods page
 * Removal of the Harmful Mods page and the Mods/Data Values page
