Fun fact, the reason you get alliums with the onions is because they're in the same family, along with garlic, chives, ect. There's a specific "ornamental onion" which is what the flowers are, but regular onions and chives ect flower just like that
love the mature conversations while mining, something I'm sure many of us have thought about and personally being more susceptible to selective service all I want is to serve my family, to experience life than cut someone else's short
I respect his resolution to assume he makes it to 90 and realises his ambitions. I struggle to plan for the future (e.g. save for retirement) because of similar anxieties. It's calming to hear someone my age resolve to believe in the best outcome.
As a 28 year old, I want to tell you one thing when I heard your piece around the 1:30:02 mark: breathe. You will never feel like you have enough time and I 100% understand your stress… bro I thought I would be married with kids and all that at 25 at the MAXIMUM, but that is definitely not how life played out, and I am so ok with that. Now, it might not be for you. Your timeline might be exactly as you think but please remember that you really do have a lot of life left. It’s what you DO with that life that makes it worth living. Just wanted to say my little anecdote, since I finished my 3rd year of therapy dealing with this exact struggle ❤ keep on making each day its best, that’s all I can say. Lots of love to ya (and George)
Im usually a lurker, but i wanted to say i absolutely adore your approach to Minecraft! It's inspired me to play more creatively and enjoy the game again without stressing! And congratulations on going full time! Hope to enjoy more of your content to come!
1:47:32 The warden can smell you if you are within 8 blocks of it, that's how it knew where you were. Also, you can walk without it hearing you if you're crouching.
In Hardcore it's just best not to deal with Wardens at all. Like there's 0 reason for you to go Ancient City or Deep Dark diving unless you want the armor trim and even then you only need 1 so once you get it just dip as fast as possible. Don't even worry about it trying to shoot you, as long as your tunnel is long enough you should be able to outrun it because its beam attack is only like 25-30 blocks range and it'll eventually give up once it looses the ability to attack you after X amount of time. I'm on a modded server with prot 7 full netherite and resistance and strength buffs permanently active and even I still get bodied by Wardens because they just do THAT much damage. Wardens are those mobs that you really just don't wanna mess with, ever. Not even a totem will save you because the second the totem pops it'll just charge up another beam attack or slap you into your astral form seconds later. The loot isn't worth dying for in any medium especially on Hardcore and bro should've dipped the second he set one of those shriekers off to begin with instead of pushing his luck. You can only set them off 4 times per player or X times in general and after that every subsequent shrieker scream will spawn a Warden. Yes, even if you go to a new ancient city/deep dark, you will continue to spawn Wardens, just don't do it.
@@darkstone_official_2427 Or just learn how to get better at looting cities, hiding from wardens, and placing wool. Its really not hard to just avoid them. Just learn about the warden. Then go and get the loot. Going in blind will likely get you killed. If you know what you're doing.. and you still die. Then that's a skill issue.
15:59 what I find difficult about series is that UA-camrs are so inconsistent with uploads and then they suddenly quit the series because they're bored or they've tried to do two series at once. Alongside that, UA-camrs are doing such big projects, episodes are sometimes months apart and by then I've forgotten everything. I also find that they don't put an episode number in the title or thumbnail so you never know what episode you're on.
True, personally my problem with flowstate is Building in Minecraft with no plan Yeah sure i watch all the videos no doubt, I love his content, but it's hard for me to tell aside from the date which one is which
@@deadlystalker7483 The reason they do that is because the videos get a lot more views if people don't think they have to watch 10+ episodes prior to the one they just clicked on
I watch docm77 since 13 years ago and in the last few years he always puts out a video on Friday. So consistency is not a problem with him. My problem is another one. I don't mind how long the gap is. I do mind if someone suddenly takes joy in it or has more time on his hand and starts to release a lot of content. That way I can't keep up anymore and I stop watching entirely.
in my opinion, military service is not abt serving my family or friends. its abt the government and i would rather be at home actually helping my community than overseas meddling in affairs that could’ve been avoided ! that’s just me
Omg yes! You're pumping videos out! They bring me so much peace and I love hearing about all of your goals with the channel and with life :) Though your goals arent relatable to me at all, its super sweet!
Flow please, stop dying lol. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say we would love to see a multi-video survival series!!! Congrats on quitting your job btw, what an awesome personal milestone. Keep up the great work
I agree with you on the video format, its nice to have a new story with each episode. A little unrelated but I watch a lot of Rust videos which follow this format and they're so exciting to watch and every now and again the video has a part 2. Its really refreshing having this format in minecraft.
That's a very atmospheric combination of mods. When I play Minecraft I never play with mods. --- I'm not a competitive person at all. I'm also not very persistent. At least not in a way that I could build a UA-cam channel like you do. But luckily it still is enough that I could get a bachelor in electrical engineering. After that I started working in the industry and helped writing low level code for devices that can be used in trains. It's a job I enjoyed and one which I plan on continuing, once my masters is finished. After 3 years of working in my job, I started to have a little mid life crisis, even though I was only in my late twenties. Until I finished my bachelor I always had a goal to work towards. I always felt like I was moving into a fruitful direction. In the first year or two of working I had to get used to my workplace, as the job takes quite a while to get proficient in. But after a while it started to get repetitive. There was no girlfriend in sight, and therefor also no family. Even though I was working on some hobbies I enjoyed, they didn't really bring any purpose or big narrative. So I decided to go back to the place where I felt comfortable - I went back to school. Now I'm two years into my masters in photonics. Photonics is basically engineering or physics that concerns itself with on light or electromagnetic radiation. By now I noticed that I don't feel at home anymore at school. Partially it is enjoyable, and I certainly learn a lot of stuff. I love learning, so that is great. But balancing the projects with school work and stuff like this is not to my taste. Also I prefer the industry over the academy as a workplace. There is another and probably even better thing that happened in my live thanks to school. When I grew up I always went to my local church. But as I grew older, all my friends moved to various places in Switzerland. And so my social network there basically dissolved. When I was about a month into my masters, my father asked me if there is some sort of bible club at school. After a quick google from his side, I joined the one he found. That club works in all universities of Switzerland and by now I participated in various nationwide events. I got to know many Christians who study various disciplines. I also visited several churches all around Switzerland. I'm aware that this is not something that I can do for the rest of my life. At some point my master is over and at some point I have to settle down. But I will definitely milk the situation I'm in. And hopefully I will also find my significant other during that time. One thing I fear a little is that once my master is over, I'm back again where I started and I can pick up my midlife crisis where I left it. I can see two solutions to solve that. Either having a family or working on a project that gives me a long term goal. For some reason I seem to have a problem with finding a girlfriend. I would love to do stuff together with women in some group and then something develops out of that. Cold approach and dating seems pretty boring and exhausting to me. Also I enjoy my life alone, so my drive to find a woman is pretty low. Another problem I have is that in most of my environments there is one woman for every twenty men or so. And in those places where there are more women, I'm pretty good at the platonic interaction with them, but nothing romantic ever came out of it. This isn't made any easier for me, since every social interaction I see around me is either platonic or they are already in a relationship. I don't think I ever saw anyone ask anyone out. So I don't really know how to proceed as I lack both experience and role models. The only good thing I noticed is that women pay slightly more attention to me in the last two years. When it comes to the long term project that may give me purpose I also see some problems. I love learning stuff, but I'm bad at working on stuff. And even if I could work on a project and get things done, I feel like it should be an actual improvement for a community or a customer base. Otherwise it would just be a thing I did for myself. The combination of not seeing a customer base and being pessimistic about my work ethics makes me think that I'm not likely to find fulfillment in a hobby project. --- Considering this video and the topics you talked about, I thought you wouldn't mind if I went a bit personal in my comment. I'm happy for you that you have your goal and you pursue it at the age of 23. Thank you for making the videos you make. Perhaps I will watch a second one if the UA-cam algorithm shows one at the right time. Based on the other comments it looks like you read all the comments, but you don't respond to them. So I won't expect a response either. But be aware that you are valued for your job and I wish the best of luck to you in your journey.
Wow that's probably the longest comment I've ever read on this channel, and that's a compliment. I appreciate you taking the time to write all of that. Best of luck to you
babe wake up my favourite minecraft youtuber just uploaded, also please include more talking about your life, its really good to hear people's progressions in life. makes me learn something
It's weird how every single thing that comes out of this guy's mouth is actually so relatable. I have never had this feeling while watching a UA-cam video. This is what makes his videos and his channel so unique. His videos are pleasing in both commentary and aesthetics. Keep up the videos. Peace
To try to motivate farming I made a mod that adds a selling bin; Stardew Valley style the food you leave in it over night is "sold" and turned into emerald nuggets according to the hunger each item restores. I'm not entirely sure if it's balanced and I know relying on villager trades can be a bit OP but it seems like a nice way to motivate farming as a means of progression!
I love peaceful minecraft videos, but the relaxing commentary makes me love them even more! It’s so scary growing up, especially as a teen in the US, and it’s nice to hear some optimism in these times. This is my first video of yours, but i’m absolutely looking forward to watching some more!!
omg i commented this before finishing, but to add on, i can also really appreciate your reflection about pressure and working hard. Like I want people to take it easy and enjoy their life, but sometimes wanna tell them to lock in and really work for what they want because life really won’t let them just get what they want. I’ve never been able to put that into words and you just did that so well, i love your reflections dude!!
What I love about your videos is how calming they are. There are’t thousands of jump cuts in a minute or someone screaming every five seconds (which is totally enjoyable at times!), and your choice of music truly fits the vibe. You also have a very nice voice. As someone who gets incredibly frequent headaches, your videos some are the few videos that don’t make it worse. By the sounds of it you have a great passion for what you do, and I’m glad things are going well for you! I hope you keep doing what you love, but also that you don’t lose your spark. Please take care of yourself, and know that videos will never be as important as the person who makes them.
It’s strange to say I idolize the way you communicate since I’m 21 and you’re only two years older, but I think the freshness of your movie style videos is that it almost feels like a roadtrip drive where you just talk and someone listens, you drive the content with your own ideas and we get to sit in the passenger seat along the way. My girlfriend and I of two years recently just broke up and so I haven’t really had motivation outside going to the gym to do anything, but listening to your videos is almost therapeutic and takes the mind off of the surreal environment in my mind. For serving, I understand the unicity, being one piece of this all serving group, but I think I personally prefer to provide individualistically. If everyone’s away in the army, people back home still need someone to put their weight onto, and I much enjoy that place and being there for others by just being me. I also understand being stressed and overwhelmed by the tsunami of life that just keeps coming every year, marriage, wanting to settle but also feeling like everything is just beginning and wanting to try new things like traveling, building a home, it’s all just, a lot. I actually think “Horton hears a Who” helped me grasp my own feelings on everything, seeing my life as a piece of pollen on a flower in a greater space of being, taking everything in slower and following the pace of my own progression and not trying to jump to things that I don’t have to just yet.
Got 10 more minutes in and you quit your job and ironically so did I today, mine was mostly as a grand escape from the horrible work environment, but it’s a big development and I wish you well on your journey after it
16:14 7 hour videos over a series every day. I'm disabled so I'm home alone all the time and minecrafters like you and Legion Vee are perfect for keeping me. company.
Hey! Just wanted to thank you! Because you inspired me to start building in minecraft and now I am building a whole medieval town and I love it! It is so chill! Have an amazing day!
41:25 In case you didn't know, there is a mechanic in vanilla Minecraft where when you plant crops alternately, they grow a little faster. Referring to the actual farming method of crop rotation
I can’t explain it. But this video was just euphoric. The editing style, the simplicity, the slowness. It was all just so wonderful. So glad I stumbled upon your channel, keep it up!
You can sneak away from the warden. They will also smell you quicker if you stand still. If he follows you, try to shoot an arrow against a wall to distract him :p. The first thing you should do, when you hear him come out of the ground, is to run away as fast as you can to get some distance
I like that you talk about your life in your videos, makes me feel like I’m learning something new, while also having a chill time. It’s inspiring for sure! Keep up the good vibes
Only recently found you on UA-cam, and so glad I did. Your vibe is so chill, exactly the kind of content I love. The long form videos are perfect for watching at work. Thanks for being awesome Flow!
I think what makes your videos (you) so appealing is that you’re not… begging us? You talk so comfortably- it makes at least me feel calm. Minecraft at this point is predictable. And you apply mods and shaders to make it slightly less predictable- without it being too much. I like to have you on in the background while I do other things, like a podcast. And when I’m done I can sit down and watch you without switching content. It feels like real, raw ‘content’. Like how UA-cam used to be.
Congrats on putting your two weeks in. Praying this UA-cam thing goes far for you. Love the channel and I think I can speak for most when I say I’m excited to see where things go from here out
Idunno if you ever discovered it, but you can move bee hives/nests with carry-on. You sometimes need to jump to be close enough to grab them, but it doesn't anger the bees, and it lets you get away without needing to transfer bees from a nest to a hive.
I comment here once again, to suggest adding Valkyrie Sky, since you builds are so beautiful I can't imagine what you'd put in the Skys. Loving you videos, Saludos from Venezuela.
I really like how chill this video is, but i'd recommend adding a modlist in the description for those who want to be able to replicate your mod pack. Other than that, the video is amazing
Haha nice! I was just thinking recently it would be super cool to see you play Stardew Valley on the channel (been really getting into it myself) but this is even better! guess i wasn't too far off after all 😂
This IS in fact, the first video of yours I see! Thank you for explaining the mods. It helps me dollow along as someone who hasnt really ventured into them yet :)
Hey Flow! I asked a video or 2 back if you would ever do a Minecraft gameplay podcast kinda style video. Like almost a chill chat and play video. I would love to someday do a survival game with you just to chat learn and have a good time. I am a South African Student studying at the moment and love watching your videos as a study break. Keep up the great content!
As a kid I used to really love watching a variety Minecraft videos from the famous creators at the time but as I've gotten older I lost interest in Minecraft videos in general and veered towards more mature content while still watching the occasional games that are trendy, but with your videos I found myself looking forward to more Minecraft content lately with the videos being yours primarily. It makes me happy in a way where I feel like I can connect to my younger self and just forget about everything or when I have deadlines coming up I can listen to your videos and it feels just like I'm chilling with a friend over at discord. Thanks for reigniting my love for Minecraft, the game that I grew up with!
What you said about time...woah. I watch your videos every now and then when getting ready in the mornings, and I was drawn to this one for some reason. When it got to what you said about time, I started crying. I want to be a writer, and recently I've been struggling with getting drafts out because I feel like I have all this time. But I don't. I'm 18, I'm going to school to be a Toxicologist, I have a whole book that's just sitting and waiting for me. Not for anyone else, but for ME. It really spoke to me. You are wonderful, and I can't help but be astounded by your powress and your will to go forward in life. I envy it very much, and you made me think of so many stirring, reflexive habits I have of "Oh, I can do this task later, It's okay, I can do this other task instead". I need to get focused and immersed in what I'm doing and never give up, just like you haven't. Thank you so much for this. I hope everything made sense, if you even read this, as English is my third language. Have a wonderful day!
I’m 13, the end of that video gave me some inspiration. I will try to find my goals in life now, and maybe that’s UA-cam, so I’ll try and I’ll try and I’ll try, until I’ve found my passion.
i wish you luck kid. don’t fall for the pressure to have it all figured out by the end of high school either. we’re all in this together and deserve to go at our own pace. you got this and don’t be afraid to ask for help!!🩵
I feel like a big reason why you are being "rewarded" by youtube is because the content you are putting out is something that you genuinely love doing, and it certainly can be felt by the viewer, which leads them to not only appreciate the product, but also feel a more direct connection with it. You love this format and it can be felt, and even though it might not be for everyone, perhaps costing you a bit in a larger viewership due to trending, you are creating an audience that is more likely to be connected to your channel specifically, meaning it will pay off in the long run. Personally, what I love about your long videos, which have a new beginning every time, is that I don't feel compelled to tune in at a specific schedule each time the creator uploads. Sometimes I miss out when a creator starts off a new series, and suddenly there is like 20 videos of 45 minutes each, and I don't even want to start watching it because I feel like there's no point in catching up... (Kinda like One Piece). Whereas with your kind of format, I can choose a video, start it, and don't even need to finish it all in one go... I can leave it there and tune back in when I can and want to, and not feel like I missed out on new lore and new things. Also, congrats on going full time, super happy for you! :) (edit) you summarised what I said literally three seconds after I commented this...lol
New subscriber here!! loved the little talks in those mining sessions. I find it really interesting how you describe kind of the paradox(?) of time, where it is passing by fast without we realize, but also we shouldn’t really worry about it and just put in enough time and effort and whatever it is we’re chasing the results will come sooner or later
I recently discovered your chanel and it's been hitting the sweet spot with mc content for me especially since yt is oversaturated with mc 100 days and crazy ideas and just duplicating content but yours is just like chilling with a friend and enjoying the scenery of the game together, i love the small talki been sleeping to your vidoes lately and i wake up to actually finish and rewind what i slept on❤
hey! the video was so enjoyable and peaceful :) when you talked about doing "movies" instead of short episodes,, you could also think/call it long-form content. Which I feel like is getting more and more popular with creators. People don't wanna scroll and watch 5 minute videos anymore and I personally don't find them engaging anymore. Long-form has so much potential within it and there's ways to build a plot or story! anyway, great video! hope to see more like this!
Wardens don't actually need to hear you moving to track you down, they can sniff you to find you. The devs added this because otherwise you could just stay still and it wouldn't do anything. This way you'd need to bring snowballs or something throwable to distract the warden. Really sad that you died, the farm was going to look awesome especially with the other Stardew stuff like the wizard tower and Linus' tent. You could've ended up making all the main buildings or the town square part as well.
I love that you made this farming video as you talked about it in others. I played stardew valley for a bit and it was relaxing but definitely not as chill as this videos gonna be. Keep up the good work man. Love the vids
3:44 YES i really appreciate you explaining the mods. Even if its a quick simple one, it helps a lot! 15:29 i love longform minecraft lets play content thats edited down a little here and there
I've been playing Minecraft since beta and love to watch Minecraft playthroughs. This is the first video I've watched of yours and was not 10 minutes in before I subscribed - the music and the vibe is immaculate and it's so relaxing and fun!
Hey flow, I suffer with a lot of anxiety and I struggle to sleep because of it. But you’re videos really relax me and I use them to fall asleep to. Thanks you so much for your videos man.
Hi flow! I'm also usually a lurker, but I *love* your content, it's such a breath of fresh air compared to all the content you see on UA-cam nowadays! I'd also personally *adore* if you did these modpacks, but on a normal world rather than hardcore, a longform series with concepts like these? I'd eat that up haha!
I just love the way that you do your videos. It is AWESOME that every single video that you do is something new or a different game objective. Keep up with this, bro! I'm really enjoying watching you.
I just started this video but the way you talk is very soothing. And your words on it being some viewers first time watching you is correct as I am one of them! I appreciate the clarification and kindness towards new viewers like myself. I am definitely subscribing and look forward to more videos from you in the future! Have a great day
Recently subbed from your “building without a plan” videos and have been loving all your content, you’re one of the only channels I have notifications on for. Keep up the great work and congrats on going full time! Also 44:41 got me lmao
wow, this is one of my favorite minecraft videos that i've seen recently :) your little chats are so calming (including the echoes in the caves!) and i love that they're in real time. i adore longer videos too, much more than episode style, because i can crochet along :)
i discovered you through that fresh start video you talked about cause i was looking for calm gameplay to fall asleep to. i've been binging all your creative builds since and it has inspired me to start playing again and with mods for the first time in forever! thank you for lighting this little fire again
Do you happen to have a mod list? I love the look of your world along with the huge distant landscape and how you zoomed out so far to get a look around 😮❤❤
I recently discovered your channel and wow! It's actually perfect (for me). The music choice, the voice, the calmth, the editing, the overview shots, the ambience, the things you do in the game, the length of the video and the format. I'm so glad I found you!
I’m not very far into the video, but first of all, I love it, your videos are all so chill and make me happy. Second, this might be a stupid/ annoying question, but what mods do you use? It looks really fun and I’d love to try that myself (and if any flowstate watchers know please lmk). Anyways, sorry for the question and thanks for uploading! Edit: I have been informed that all of these mods are in the Better Adventures+ mod pack which I remember him talking about, thank you flowstate watchers for your assistance, I hope all of you have a great day!❤
i asked the same question but didn't see till after that he had already replied to another comment asking as well 😭 he said all the mods he uses in the video is in the "Better Adventures+" modpack !! :D
15:30 I agree, id rather like one or two 3 hour long videos on a world instead of like eight 30 minute videos, feels better to watch and id rather the wait for the video
Man You've inspired me a lott. And by a lot I mean genuinly. I too feel the same way like you do about life, independence, respoonsibilities, wannna live in a countryside area somewhere in Japan, work a work-from-home job and just do my hobbies in whatever free time I get. I recently got my new gaming laptop with a 4050 and am very excited to start minecraft again since i left it a long time ago. Thanks Man. genuinly thanks. I dont know if you will read this comment or not but yeah thanks for inspiring me and not let my dreams and goals dir. You gave me some confidence and I will surely do what I love the most. Keep making videos like these and help people like me maybe gain their place in this unfair and unjust world. Love the chill vibe you give off while playing this game and having mature conversations. Its like having the older brother and conversations with him i never had. Thanks again.
ever since watching one of your videos I just cannot stop myself from watching every other video you have posted and each of them have been great! This video especially
I don't really have a lot of friends that I can talk to or play games together. I know this sound sad and depressing but whenever I play minecraft I always put your videos on the side. It feels like I'm hanging out with a friend and its very calming to me. Thank you so much for all the videos you've made. 😊❤
For bees nests, being collected needs a silk touch axe (not sure if needs to be greater than stone) And do it at night (cause theyre asleep and not looking for flowers) if you want the bees to stay inside them when transporting :3
It can actually be any tool with silk touch, not just axes! Axes are technically the correct tool for breaking bee nests but that only affects mining speed and tool durability. Silk touch is the only important thing for obtaining the bee nest as an item.
You can also build a campfire below the nest (leave at least one box of space between them) and the smoke will pacify the bees while they are inside the nest. Silk Touch tool to harvest the whole nest, bottles to collect honey, shears to collect comb/wax (to seal copper or build new hives).
I really like your videos. There's something so aesthetic and therapeutic about them. I've seen 2 or 3 others and I didn't think I would enjoy this type of content as much as I did, I can totally see myself putting this on in the background while I draw or do a puzzle. I really hope youtube works out for you, I think you're going in the right direction. happy to join the flow community
I think your content speaks to me so much because, being also in my twenties, I relate to you a lot but you mix it with calm minecraft playing, which speaks to me too as it's always been with me. Minecraft is a nice distraction from fast moving life, so I don't like how some youtubers still do the loud&fast=funny scheme. So I really appreciate how u show and tal kabout the pressures you face, It's a reason why I watch your videos
Man I love your videos! I am working on a SMMA right now for real estate agents and it’s been a hard couple months. You’ve reminded me that I can do it as long as I don’t give up. Thank you man!
I've been watching your videos while making my own minecraft world. Also by the way, you can use milk to get rid of bad omen effect from killing a commander pillager.
wouldn't be opposed to having an episodic series but with movie-length videos imo, i personally find your longer videos (over 1 hour 15 mins) much more enjoyable than your shorter ones (under 1 hour 15 mins)
got this vid in recommendations, and I am so glad I did, so cozy and so relatable, not just being silly and playing Minecraft as most of the people do. I like your style, it feels so genuine. thanks for doing that
You're so intelligent emotionally that it is so refreshing, not just watching for snappy cuts and short dopamine rushes. This long form content really suits you, and you deserve a lot of praise for not conforming so strongly to the most common content form. This video was a hidden gem.
Hi Flow. This is the first of your videos I've ever seen. I know its a couple of weeks in so you may not see this. Firstly, huge congratulations are in order for you to be able to take UA-cam full time. I for one will be here long yerm to support the choice you have made now. This video was excellent. Not only was the in-game content really interesting, but the conversations felt exactly like that. Conversations. Its such a unique skill which many do not hold. It's easy to not recognise with the amount of creators on this platform. For someone who has worked in media and production before and has made attempts at building a UA-cam channel before, it's inspiring to see someone who has similar views, opinions and mindsets as I do being able to achieve what I wish to. It has had me seeking introspectively as to what I want and can achieve and has given me the motivation to really push to achieve my goal now. Like your future situation, I have people to support but I'm not in an optimal position in my life but I'm working on that. I've been looking for direction and I woke up today feeling lost and finally realised that I've spent close to the last 9 years doing things I never really wanted to do. In regards to the idea of having a server with 10ish people on, it sounds amazing and the chance to do that would be really quite interesting. I have plenty of time to dedicate to it should the opportunity present itself but either way it would be excellent to watch. Also yes, create mod would be a nightmare on that server! Haha. I've run numerous servers (close to 20 now actually) only 2 of which had create on. Of thise 2, the only server which could hold create in all of it's end game glory and not massively impact the server was an extremely costly 16GB server with a max pop of 15 users. I5ts just far too intense to really run in any capacity for a server without having some serious monetary draw to maintain the server. If it's something you did want to look into though and try and optimise, I'd be happy to see what I could do to offer help configuring the server etc. Let me know if that is something that could be of use and we can find a way to connect that suits you. A final note, thank you for this video and I wish you the very best with your endeavours into UA-cam and further into the future. I sincerely look forward to all of the new videos that follow.
I'm so glad YT decided to recommend this. It's very fitting that I was playing SDV when I saw it! Flowstate is the PERFECT name too, because long form stuff like this definitely helps me focus (flow!). The self contained stories are wonderful, and if the other comments are right (I'm posting this maybe around 30 minutes in), I've got some good Real Talks to look forward to. I love the idea of starting and ending a world all in one video, because like you said: you don't need any 'lore' for it. I also really appreciate you explaining the mods! Whatever packs you're using are beautiful to look at when I glance over at an interesting moment. Your voice is nice to listen to, and the music feels like it's part of the world in a way I can't really explain. Great work!
definetly now my favorite comfort creator i came into this video as just a background video and then when he started talking about time and motivation i stopped and really started listening he has compleatly changed my view on things hes so transparent and such a smart and relatable person to watch you have done more for me in this on video then years of talking to teachers about the same topics Thank you so much for this video i am now gonna start binge watching all your other videos
Fun fact, the reason you get alliums with the onions is because they're in the same family, along with garlic, chives, ect. There's a specific "ornamental onion" which is what the flowers are, but regular onions and chives ect flower just like that
Less fun fact: they also smell rather strongly like onions/garlic, they really aren’t appealing flowers to keep, especially indoors.
@@SaltSpirits Medium fun fact: I love garlic
@@JeanneFeisonthigh fun fact,i like that u like garlic
@@SaltSpiritsI like the smell of garlic where can I buy it
i knew that onions and chives were in the same family but i didnt know alliums were too, thats quite interesting!
The voice effects during the cave is such a nice and subtle touch
This! I enjoy that way too much :D Brings me somehow so much joy and just works so well with his calming voice.
I was going to comment this too, I really liked it!
Really shows his wish to give attention to every detail. Truly a good example for content creators :)
LOL I came here to comment that
lol its a sound mod does it for mining and stuff too :)
love the mature conversations while mining, something I'm sure many of us have thought about and personally being more susceptible to selective service all I want is to serve my family, to experience life than cut someone else's short
You want to kill somebody?
@@oskribllz6938 no, reread the comment little bro
I respect his resolution to assume he makes it to 90 and realises his ambitions. I struggle to plan for the future (e.g. save for retirement) because of similar anxieties. It's calming to hear someone my age resolve to believe in the best outcome.
you really should look into writing a book dude thats deep af for real
@@oskribllz6938they want to experience life "rather than" cut someone else's short, they just missed a word.
As a 28 year old, I want to tell you one thing when I heard your piece around the 1:30:02 mark: breathe. You will never feel like you have enough time and I 100% understand your stress… bro I thought I would be married with kids and all that at 25 at the MAXIMUM, but that is definitely not how life played out, and I am so ok with that. Now, it might not be for you. Your timeline might be exactly as you think but please remember that you really do have a lot of life left. It’s what you DO with that life that makes it worth living.
Just wanted to say my little anecdote, since I finished my 3rd year of therapy dealing with this exact struggle ❤ keep on making each day its best, that’s all I can say. Lots of love to ya (and George)
Thank you for sharing this, i needed it❤️🩹
Real~
Thank you for your wisdom
Im usually a lurker, but i wanted to say i absolutely adore your approach to Minecraft! It's inspired me to play more creatively and enjoy the game again without stressing! And congratulations on going full time! Hope to enjoy more of your content to come!
yes yes yes wow
1:47:32 The warden can smell you if you are within 8 blocks of it, that's how it knew where you were. Also, you can walk without it hearing you if you're crouching.
Also it's best to just break the shriekers along with the sensors to stop it from spawning.
@@kkyu1343 terrible advice, use wool to block out the vibrations instead!
@@Gaster60066 I mean there were no other shriekers around and I'm pretty sure he had no wool so I feel like it was the only option in that situation
In Hardcore it's just best not to deal with Wardens at all. Like there's 0 reason for you to go Ancient City or Deep Dark diving unless you want the armor trim and even then you only need 1 so once you get it just dip as fast as possible. Don't even worry about it trying to shoot you, as long as your tunnel is long enough you should be able to outrun it because its beam attack is only like 25-30 blocks range and it'll eventually give up once it looses the ability to attack you after X amount of time.
I'm on a modded server with prot 7 full netherite and resistance and strength buffs permanently active and even I still get bodied by Wardens because they just do THAT much damage. Wardens are those mobs that you really just don't wanna mess with, ever. Not even a totem will save you because the second the totem pops it'll just charge up another beam attack or slap you into your astral form seconds later. The loot isn't worth dying for in any medium especially on Hardcore and bro should've dipped the second he set one of those shriekers off to begin with instead of pushing his luck.
You can only set them off 4 times per player or X times in general and after that every subsequent shrieker scream will spawn a Warden. Yes, even if you go to a new ancient city/deep dark, you will continue to spawn Wardens, just don't do it.
@@darkstone_official_2427 Or just learn how to get better at looting cities, hiding from wardens, and placing wool. Its really not hard to just avoid them. Just learn about the warden. Then go and get the loot. Going in blind will likely get you killed. If you know what you're doing.. and you still die. Then that's a skill issue.
The small talks are by far my favorite parts of the videos, keep up the good work man.
Totaly agree! :D
Yup
Absolutely this man has the best energy and I love the lack of fake-ness
First time seeing this channel, it’s so beautiful and calming to watch. Gonna become my new comfort channel.
I watch his videos a lot, and it's amazing because you can just play Minecraft while listening to him play.
Your videos are our escape from the chaos of social media. The calmness, the chill, the coziness, it’s soothing to the heart 😊
i love it
for real!
Seeing you venture further into the deep dark with 2 minutes remaining on the video I knew exactly how your fate was sealed
15:59 what I find difficult about series is that UA-camrs are so inconsistent with uploads and then they suddenly quit the series because they're bored or they've tried to do two series at once. Alongside that, UA-camrs are doing such big projects, episodes are sometimes months apart and by then I've forgotten everything. I also find that they don't put an episode number in the title or thumbnail so you never know what episode you're on.
True, personally my problem with flowstate is
Building in Minecraft with no plan
Yeah sure i watch all the videos no doubt, I love his content, but it's hard for me to tell aside from the date which one is which
@@deadlystalker7483 that's solved with the playlist pretty sure they're all in order
@@deadlystalker7483 The reason they do that is because the videos get a lot more views if people don't think they have to watch 10+ episodes prior to the one they just clicked on
I watch docm77 since 13 years ago and in the last few years he always puts out a video on Friday. So consistency is not a problem with him.
My problem is another one. I don't mind how long the gap is. I do mind if someone suddenly takes joy in it or has more time on his hand and starts to release a lot of content. That way I can't keep up anymore and I stop watching entirely.
@@benrex7775 Sounds like a you problem haha
in my opinion, military service is not abt serving my family or friends. its abt the government and i would rather be at home actually helping my community than overseas meddling in affairs that could’ve been avoided ! that’s just me
This person gets it ☝🏻
Not just you.
Omg yes! You're pumping videos out! They bring me so much peace and I love hearing about all of your goals with the channel and with life :) Though your goals arent relatable to me at all, its super sweet!
I just love when flow state pumps me full of juicy content
@@EDGKangKangfr
Flow please, stop dying lol. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say we would love to see a multi-video survival series!!! Congrats on quitting your job btw, what an awesome personal milestone. Keep up the great work
I agree with you on the video format, its nice to have a new story with each episode. A little unrelated but I watch a lot of Rust videos which follow this format and they're so exciting to watch and every now and again the video has a part 2. Its really refreshing having this format in minecraft.
Flow reminds me of Willjum so much
@ oh my gosh yes ! That’s such a good comparison
That's a very atmospheric combination of mods. When I play Minecraft I never play with mods.

I'm not a competitive person at all. I'm also not very persistent. At least not in a way that I could build a UA-cam channel like you do. But luckily it still is enough that I could get a bachelor in electrical engineering. After that I started working in the industry and helped writing low level code for devices that can be used in trains. It's a job I enjoyed and one which I plan on continuing, once my masters is finished.
After 3 years of working in my job, I started to have a little mid life crisis, even though I was only in my late twenties. Until I finished my bachelor I always had a goal to work towards. I always felt like I was moving into a fruitful direction. In the first year or two of working I had to get used to my workplace, as the job takes quite a while to get proficient in. But after a while it started to get repetitive. There was no girlfriend in sight, and therefor also no family. Even though I was working on some hobbies I enjoyed, they didn't really bring any purpose or big narrative. So I decided to go back to the place where I felt comfortable - I went back to school.
Now I'm two years into my masters in photonics. Photonics is basically engineering or physics that concerns itself with on light or electromagnetic radiation. By now I noticed that I don't feel at home anymore at school. Partially it is enjoyable, and I certainly learn a lot of stuff. I love learning, so that is great. But balancing the projects with school work and stuff like this is not to my taste. Also I prefer the industry over the academy as a workplace.
There is another and probably even better thing that happened in my live thanks to school. When I grew up I always went to my local church. But as I grew older, all my friends moved to various places in Switzerland. And so my social network there basically dissolved. When I was about a month into my masters, my father asked me if there is some sort of bible club at school. After a quick google from his side, I joined the one he found. That club works in all universities of Switzerland and by now I participated in various nationwide events. I got to know many Christians who study various disciplines. I also visited several churches all around Switzerland.
I'm aware that this is not something that I can do for the rest of my life. At some point my master is over and at some point I have to settle down. But I will definitely milk the situation I'm in. And hopefully I will also find my significant other during that time.
One thing I fear a little is that once my master is over, I'm back again where I started and I can pick up my midlife crisis where I left it. I can see two solutions to solve that. Either having a family or working on a project that gives me a long term goal.
For some reason I seem to have a problem with finding a girlfriend. I would love to do stuff together with women in some group and then something develops out of that. Cold approach and dating seems pretty boring and exhausting to me. Also I enjoy my life alone, so my drive to find a woman is pretty low.
Another problem I have is that in most of my environments there is one woman for every twenty men or so. And in those places where there are more women, I'm pretty good at the platonic interaction with them, but nothing romantic ever came out of it. This isn't made any easier for me, since every social interaction I see around me is either platonic or they are already in a relationship. I don't think I ever saw anyone ask anyone out. So I don't really know how to proceed as I lack both experience and role models. The only good thing I noticed is that women pay slightly more attention to me in the last two years.
When it comes to the long term project that may give me purpose I also see some problems. I love learning stuff, but I'm bad at working on stuff. And even if I could work on a project and get things done, I feel like it should be an actual improvement for a community or a customer base. Otherwise it would just be a thing I did for myself. The combination of not seeing a customer base and being pessimistic about my work ethics makes me think that I'm not likely to find fulfillment in a hobby project.

Considering this video and the topics you talked about, I thought you wouldn't mind if I went a bit personal in my comment. I'm happy for you that you have your goal and you pursue it at the age of 23. Thank you for making the videos you make. Perhaps I will watch a second one if the UA-cam algorithm shows one at the right time.
Based on the other comments it looks like you read all the comments, but you don't respond to them. So I won't expect a response either. But be aware that you are valued for your job and I wish the best of luck to you in your journey.
Wow that's probably the longest comment I've ever read on this channel, and that's a compliment. I appreciate you taking the time to write all of that. Best of luck to you
@@flowstatevideo Thank you.
@@flowstatevideo Speaking of the modpack that benrex mentioned, is this a custom modpack, or do you have the name of it? I would love to play it!
babe wake up my favourite minecraft youtuber just uploaded, also please include more talking about your life, its really good to hear people's progressions in life. makes me learn something
It's weird how every single thing that comes out of this guy's mouth is actually so relatable. I have never had this feeling while watching a UA-cam video. This is what makes his videos and his channel so unique. His videos are pleasing in both commentary and aesthetics. Keep up the videos. Peace
To try to motivate farming I made a mod that adds a selling bin; Stardew Valley style the food you leave in it over night is "sold" and turned into emerald nuggets according to the hunger each item restores. I'm not entirely sure if it's balanced and I know relying on villager trades can be a bit OP but it seems like a nice way to motivate farming as a means of progression!
Did you publish on any modding platform? Seems like a mod that many people would like in their modded adventure, me included.
@valentaing1665 not yet, but planning to release in the next week or two
@@Bencw12 On what platform planet minecraft, curseforge, modrinth?
@@Indigo_Shard I just published to modrinth yesterday!
@@Bencw12 Awesome what's it called?
I love peaceful minecraft videos, but the relaxing commentary makes me love them even more! It’s so scary growing up, especially as a teen in the US, and it’s nice to hear some optimism in these times. This is my first video of yours, but i’m absolutely looking forward to watching some more!!
omg i commented this before finishing, but to add on, i can also really appreciate your reflection about pressure and working hard. Like I want people to take it easy and enjoy their life, but sometimes wanna tell them to lock in and really work for what they want because life really won’t let them just get what they want. I’ve never been able to put that into words and you just did that so well, i love your reflections dude!!
@@ashertheratt You should check out his old ‚Building with no plan‘ videos. Sooo relaxing
@@Lewis-jt9cq ooh i definitely will!!! thank you so much!! ^^
I've been looking for videos like yours for so long, where everything isn't a challenge and it's just chill. It's so awesome
What I love about your videos is how calming they are. There are’t thousands of jump cuts in a minute or someone screaming every five seconds (which is totally enjoyable at times!), and your choice of music truly fits the vibe. You also have a very nice voice. As someone who gets incredibly frequent headaches, your videos some are the few videos that don’t make it worse. By the sounds of it you have a great passion for what you do, and I’m glad things are going well for you! I hope you keep doing what you love, but also that you don’t lose your spark. Please take care of yourself, and know that videos will never be as important as the person who makes them.
totally agree.
Farming might be the best part of minecraft
Farming and exploring :) I love wandering for thousands of blocks before finding a nice place to settle down and start a farm
Building automatic farms is the best part to me
agreed!! 100%
It’s strange to say I idolize the way you communicate since I’m 21 and you’re only two years older, but I think the freshness of your movie style videos is that it almost feels like a roadtrip drive where you just talk and someone listens, you drive the content with your own ideas and we get to sit in the passenger seat along the way. My girlfriend and I of two years recently just broke up and so I haven’t really had motivation outside going to the gym to do anything, but listening to your videos is almost therapeutic and takes the mind off of the surreal environment in my mind. For serving, I understand the unicity, being one piece of this all serving group, but I think I personally prefer to provide individualistically. If everyone’s away in the army, people back home still need someone to put their weight onto, and I much enjoy that place and being there for others by just being me. I also understand being stressed and overwhelmed by the tsunami of life that just keeps coming every year, marriage, wanting to settle but also feeling like everything is just beginning and wanting to try new things like traveling, building a home, it’s all just, a lot. I actually think “Horton hears a Who” helped me grasp my own feelings on everything, seeing my life as a piece of pollen on a flower in a greater space of being, taking everything in slower and following the pace of my own progression and not trying to jump to things that I don’t have to just yet.
Got 10 more minutes in and you quit your job and ironically so did I today, mine was mostly as a grand escape from the horrible work environment, but it’s a big development and I wish you well on your journey after it
The reason the Warden attacked you was because they can sniff you out, thats why its always sniffing the air. Love your videos BTW
16:14
7 hour videos over a series every day. I'm disabled so I'm home alone all the time and minecrafters like you and Legion Vee are perfect for keeping me. company.
The fresh start video was literally that, a fresh start.
The minecraft community needs a fresh start, and you have given them it, Mr. Smooth Voice.
Hey! Just wanted to thank you! Because you inspired me to start building in minecraft and now I am building a whole medieval town and I love it! It is so chill!
Have an amazing day!
13:31 lets gooo follow your dreams
I paused the vid and came here at the comment section to show my support❤
1:48:00 yeeaahh, wardens can smell you apparently, thats why you gotta get out fast lol
41:25 In case you didn't know, there is a mechanic in vanilla Minecraft where when you plant crops alternately, they grow a little faster. Referring to the actual farming method of crop rotation
no way!! thanks for the tip, time to unorganize my crops lol
I can’t explain it. But this video was just euphoric. The editing style, the simplicity, the slowness. It was all just so wonderful. So glad I stumbled upon your channel, keep it up!
You can sneak away from the warden. They will also smell you quicker if you stand still. If he follows you, try to shoot an arrow against a wall to distract him :p.
The first thing you should do, when you hear him come out of the ground, is to run away as fast as you can to get some distance
Top quality advice right here! :D
I like that you talk about your life in your videos, makes me feel like I’m learning something new, while also having a chill time. It’s inspiring for sure! Keep up the good vibes
Only recently found you on UA-cam, and so glad I did. Your vibe is so chill, exactly the kind of content I love. The long form videos are perfect for watching at work. Thanks for being awesome Flow!
I think what makes your videos (you) so appealing is that you’re not… begging us? You talk so comfortably- it makes at least me feel calm. Minecraft at this point is predictable. And you apply mods and shaders to make it slightly less predictable- without it being too much. I like to have you on in the background while I do other things, like a podcast. And when I’m done I can sit down and watch you without switching content. It feels like real, raw ‘content’. Like how UA-cam used to be.
Man i genuinely love all your videos, binged all of them and ive just been waiting for more content and its great every time, really appreciate it.
btw the survival 1-2 hour videos are amazing!! please keep doing these, maybe even one series on 1 world, either way the videos are great.
Congrats on putting your two weeks in. Praying this UA-cam thing goes far for you. Love the channel and I think I can speak for most when I say I’m excited to see where things go from here out
when i see a flowstate video start with you on three hearts i know its gonna be a good one
Idunno if you ever discovered it, but you can move bee hives/nests with carry-on. You sometimes need to jump to be close enough to grab them, but it doesn't anger the bees, and it lets you get away without needing to transfer bees from a nest to a hive.
I comment here once again, to suggest adding Valkyrie Sky, since you builds are so beautiful I can't imagine what you'd put in the Skys.
Loving you videos, Saludos from Venezuela.
I really like how chill this video is, but i'd recommend adding a modlist in the description for those who want to be able to replicate your mod pack. Other than that, the video is amazing
Everything I use is in Better Adventures+
Haha nice! I was just thinking recently it would be super cool to see you play Stardew Valley on the channel (been really getting into it myself)
but this is even better!
guess i wasn't too far off after all 😂
This IS in fact, the first video of yours I see! Thank you for explaining the mods. It helps me dollow along as someone who hasnt really ventured into them yet :)
Hey Flow! I asked a video or 2 back if you would ever do a Minecraft gameplay podcast kinda style video. Like almost a chill chat and play video. I would love to someday do a survival game with you just to chat learn and have a good time. I am a South African Student studying at the moment and love watching your videos as a study break. Keep up the great content!
Absolutely amazing video, you picked out a beautiful spot. ngl tho the voice affects in the caves were fire :D
As a kid I used to really love watching a variety Minecraft videos from the famous creators at the time but as I've gotten older I lost interest in Minecraft videos in general and veered towards more mature content while still watching the occasional games that are trendy, but with your videos I found myself looking forward to more Minecraft content lately with the videos being yours primarily. It makes me happy in a way where I feel like I can connect to my younger self and just forget about everything or when I have deadlines coming up I can listen to your videos and it feels just like I'm chilling with a friend over at discord. Thanks for reigniting my love for Minecraft, the game that I grew up with!
What you said about time...woah. I watch your videos every now and then when getting ready in the mornings, and I was drawn to this one for some reason. When it got to what you said about time, I started crying. I want to be a writer, and recently I've been struggling with getting drafts out because I feel like I have all this time. But I don't. I'm 18, I'm going to school to be a Toxicologist, I have a whole book that's just sitting and waiting for me. Not for anyone else, but for ME. It really spoke to me. You are wonderful, and I can't help but be astounded by your powress and your will to go forward in life. I envy it very much, and you made me think of so many stirring, reflexive habits I have of "Oh, I can do this task later, It's okay, I can do this other task instead". I need to get focused and immersed in what I'm doing and never give up, just like you haven't. Thank you so much for this. I hope everything made sense, if you even read this, as English is my third language. Have a wonderful day!
I’m 13, the end of that video gave me some inspiration. I will try to find my goals in life now, and maybe that’s UA-cam, so I’ll try and I’ll try and I’ll try, until I’ve found my passion.
i wish you luck kid. don’t fall for the pressure to have it all figured out by the end of high school either. we’re all in this together and deserve to go at our own pace. you got this and don’t be afraid to ask for help!!🩵
@ thanks for the kind words 😊 👍
I don’t worry too much about having it all figured out by any time. Thank you 😊 🙏
I feel like a big reason why you are being "rewarded" by youtube is because the content you are putting out is something that you genuinely love doing, and it certainly can be felt by the viewer, which leads them to not only appreciate the product, but also feel a more direct connection with it. You love this format and it can be felt, and even though it might not be for everyone, perhaps costing you a bit in a larger viewership due to trending, you are creating an audience that is more likely to be connected to your channel specifically, meaning it will pay off in the long run.
Personally, what I love about your long videos, which have a new beginning every time, is that I don't feel compelled to tune in at a specific schedule each time the creator uploads. Sometimes I miss out when a creator starts off a new series, and suddenly there is like 20 videos of 45 minutes each, and I don't even want to start watching it because I feel like there's no point in catching up... (Kinda like One Piece). Whereas with your kind of format, I can choose a video, start it, and don't even need to finish it all in one go... I can leave it there and tune back in when I can and want to, and not feel like I missed out on new lore and new things.
Also, congrats on going full time, super happy for you! :)
(edit) you summarised what I said literally three seconds after I commented this...lol
New subscriber here!! loved the little talks in those mining sessions. I find it really interesting how you describe kind of the paradox(?) of time, where it is passing by fast without we realize, but also we shouldn’t really worry about it and just put in enough time and effort and whatever it is we’re chasing the results will come sooner or later
I recently discovered your chanel and it's been hitting the sweet spot with mc content for me especially since yt is oversaturated with mc 100 days and crazy ideas and just duplicating content but yours is just like chilling with a friend and enjoying the scenery of the game together, i love the small talki been sleeping to your vidoes lately and i wake up to actually finish and rewind what i slept on❤
hey! the video was so enjoyable and peaceful :) when you talked about doing "movies" instead of short episodes,, you could also think/call it long-form content. Which I feel like is getting more and more popular with creators. People don't wanna scroll and watch 5 minute videos anymore and I personally don't find them engaging anymore. Long-form has so much potential within it and there's ways to build a plot or story! anyway, great video! hope to see more like this!
Wardens don't actually need to hear you moving to track you down, they can sniff you to find you. The devs added this because otherwise you could just stay still and it wouldn't do anything. This way you'd need to bring snowballs or something throwable to distract the warden.
Really sad that you died, the farm was going to look awesome especially with the other Stardew stuff like the wizard tower and Linus' tent. You could've ended up making all the main buildings or the town square part as well.
I love that you made this farming video as you talked about it in others. I played stardew valley for a bit and it was relaxing but definitely not as chill as this videos gonna be. Keep up the good work man. Love the vids
First time watcher, I appreciate the disclosure of what the mods do, cheers
44:40 best Flowstate quote of all time
He definitely doesn’t swear often lmao 😊
Woah why is there an emoji 0-0
that shi caught me off guard 😭
3:44 YES i really appreciate you explaining the mods. Even if its a quick simple one, it helps a lot!
15:29 i love longform minecraft lets play content thats edited down a little here and there
I've been playing Minecraft since beta and love to watch Minecraft playthroughs. This is the first video I've watched of yours and was not 10 minutes in before I subscribed - the music and the vibe is immaculate and it's so relaxing and fun!
Hey flow, I suffer with a lot of anxiety and I struggle to sleep because of it. But you’re videos really relax me and I use them to fall asleep to. Thanks you so much for your videos man.
Hi flow! I'm also usually a lurker, but I *love* your content, it's such a breath of fresh air compared to all the content you see on UA-cam nowadays! I'd also personally *adore* if you did these modpacks, but on a normal world rather than hardcore, a longform series with concepts like these? I'd eat that up haha!
I wish you the best with your UA-cam career :) your content is really relaxing
I just love the way that you do your videos. It is AWESOME that every single video that you do is something new or a different game objective. Keep up with this, bro! I'm really enjoying watching you.
I just started this video but the way you talk is very soothing. And your words on it being some viewers first time watching you is correct as I am one of them! I appreciate the clarification and kindness towards new viewers like myself. I am definitely subscribing and look forward to more videos from you in the future! Have a great day
Recently subbed from your “building without a plan” videos and have been loving all your content, you’re one of the only channels I have notifications on for. Keep up the great work and congrats on going full time! Also 44:41 got me lmao
wow, this is one of my favorite minecraft videos that i've seen recently :) your little chats are so calming (including the echoes in the caves!) and i love that they're in real time. i adore longer videos too, much more than episode style, because i can crochet along :)
Holy that terrain generation is absolutely amazing!
i discovered you through that fresh start video you talked about cause i was looking for calm gameplay to fall asleep to. i've been binging all your creative builds since and it has inspired me to start playing again and with mods for the first time in forever! thank you for lighting this little fire again
Do you happen to have a mod list? I love the look of your world along with the huge distant landscape and how you zoomed out so far to get a look around 😮❤❤
He uses BetterAdventures+ on curseforge for 1.20.1 i think
Better Adventures+
I recently discovered your channel and wow! It's actually perfect (for me). The music choice, the voice, the calmth, the editing, the overview shots, the ambience, the things you do in the game, the length of the video and the format. I'm so glad I found you!
The creative and survival videos are incredible (a how to build like flow state video?)❤
Thank you very much!
I’m not very far into the video, but first of all, I love it, your videos are all so chill and make me happy. Second, this might be a stupid/ annoying question, but what mods do you use? It looks really fun and I’d love to try that myself (and if any flowstate watchers know please lmk). Anyways, sorry for the question and thanks for uploading!
Edit: I have been informed that all of these mods are in the Better Adventures+ mod pack which I remember him talking about, thank you flowstate watchers for your assistance, I hope all of you have a great day!❤
i asked the same question but didn't see till after that he had already replied to another comment asking as well 😭 he said all the mods he uses in the video is in the "Better Adventures+" modpack !! :D
i think he used the modpack better adventures+ - or atleast the mods are all in there
@ Ah, thank you so much!!!
@@thepenguinofspace9291 thank you!! ❤️
15:30 I agree, id rather like one or two 3 hour long videos on a world instead of like eight 30 minute videos, feels better to watch and id rather the wait for the video
Man You've inspired me a lott. And by a lot I mean genuinly. I too feel the same way like you do about life, independence, respoonsibilities, wannna live in a countryside area somewhere in Japan, work a work-from-home job and just do my hobbies in whatever free time I get. I recently got my new gaming laptop with a 4050 and am very excited to start minecraft again since i left it a long time ago. Thanks Man. genuinly thanks. I dont know if you will read this comment or not but yeah thanks for inspiring me and not let my dreams and goals dir. You gave me some confidence and I will surely do what I love the most. Keep making videos like these and help people like me maybe gain their place in this unfair and unjust world. Love the chill vibe you give off while playing this game and having mature conversations. Its like having the older brother and conversations with him i never had. Thanks again.
ever since watching one of your videos I just cannot stop myself from watching every other video you have posted and each of them have been great! This video especially
I love the echo you add to your voice in the caves, and the music, and bird noises. The immersive experience is very "flowstate"
These videos are what i watch if I'm feeling down or just need to calm down a bit. Thanks for being such an amazing creator!
Keep it up.
PS: Happy 250k subs!!!
I don't really have a lot of friends that I can talk to or play games together. I know this sound sad and depressing but whenever I play minecraft I always put your videos on the side. It feels like I'm hanging out with a friend and its very calming to me. Thank you so much for all the videos you've made. 😊❤
We Neeed to get you towards your new PC! I would love to see some epic modpacks that require a beefy PC.
This video is much more than just a minecraft video, thanks for the life advice you gave us and the serenity of this ambience
For bees nests, being collected needs a silk touch axe (not sure if needs to be greater than stone)
And do it at night (cause theyre asleep and not looking for flowers) if you want the bees to stay inside them when transporting :3
It can actually be any tool with silk touch, not just axes! Axes are technically the correct tool for breaking bee nests but that only affects mining speed and tool durability. Silk touch is the only important thing for obtaining the bee nest as an item.
You can also build a campfire below the nest (leave at least one box of space between them) and the smoke will pacify the bees while they are inside the nest. Silk Touch tool to harvest the whole nest, bottles to collect honey, shears to collect comb/wax (to seal copper or build new hives).
I really like your videos. There's something so aesthetic and therapeutic about them. I've seen 2 or 3 others and I didn't think I would enjoy this type of content as much as I did, I can totally see myself putting this on in the background while I draw or do a puzzle. I really hope youtube works out for you, I think you're going in the right direction. happy to join the flow community
Such a cool video Flowstate, any chance you could add a list of your mods, resource packs, shaders to the description?
Everything I use is in Better Adventures+
@@flowstatevideo thanks mate. ❤
I think your content speaks to me so much because, being also in my twenties, I relate to you a lot but you mix it with calm minecraft playing, which speaks to me too as it's always been with me. Minecraft is a nice distraction from fast moving life, so I don't like how some youtubers still do the loud&fast=funny scheme. So I really appreciate how u show and tal kabout the pressures you face, It's a reason why I watch your videos
52:37 actually jumpscared me
i was about to comment that 😭
Man I love your videos! I am working on a SMMA right now for real estate agents and it’s been a hard couple months. You’ve reminded me that I can do it as long as I don’t give up. Thank you man!
I've been watching your videos while making my own minecraft world. Also by the way, you can use milk to get rid of bad omen effect from killing a commander pillager.
wouldn't be opposed to having an episodic series but with movie-length videos imo, i personally find your longer videos (over 1 hour 15 mins) much more enjoyable than your shorter ones (under 1 hour 15 mins)
Thanks for another great video, I really enjoyed watching it as always! :)
got this vid in recommendations, and I am so glad I did, so cozy and so relatable, not just being silly and playing Minecraft as most of the people do. I like your style, it feels so genuine. thanks for doing that
Here's a quote from my 12 year old daughter
"They say life is short, but it's actually the longest thing we will experience in life"
You're so intelligent emotionally that it is so refreshing, not just watching for snappy cuts and short dopamine rushes. This long form content really suits you, and you deserve a lot of praise for not conforming so strongly to the most common content form. This video was a hidden gem.
i was wondering when flow would make something like this👌
Hi Flow. This is the first of your videos I've ever seen. I know its a couple of weeks in so you may not see this.
Firstly, huge congratulations are in order for you to be able to take UA-cam full time. I for one will be here long yerm to support the choice you have made now.
This video was excellent. Not only was the in-game content really interesting, but the conversations felt exactly like that. Conversations. Its such a unique skill which many do not hold. It's easy to not recognise with the amount of creators on this platform. For someone who has worked in media and production before and has made attempts at building a UA-cam channel before, it's inspiring to see someone who has similar views, opinions and mindsets as I do being able to achieve what I wish to. It has had me seeking introspectively as to what I want and can achieve and has given me the motivation to really push to achieve my goal now.
Like your future situation, I have people to support but I'm not in an optimal position in my life but I'm working on that. I've been looking for direction and I woke up today feeling lost and finally realised that I've spent close to the last 9 years doing things I never really wanted to do.
In regards to the idea of having a server with 10ish people on, it sounds amazing and the chance to do that would be really quite interesting. I have plenty of time to dedicate to it should the opportunity present itself but either way it would be excellent to watch. Also yes, create mod would be a nightmare on that server! Haha. I've run numerous servers (close to 20 now actually) only 2 of which had create on. Of thise 2, the only server which could hold create in all of it's end game glory and not massively impact the server was an extremely costly 16GB server with a max pop of 15 users. I5ts just far too intense to really run in any capacity for a server without having some serious monetary draw to maintain the server. If it's something you did want to look into though and try and optimise, I'd be happy to see what I could do to offer help configuring the server etc. Let me know if that is something that could be of use and we can find a way to connect that suits you.
A final note, thank you for this video and I wish you the very best with your endeavours into UA-cam and further into the future.
I sincerely look forward to all of the new videos that follow.
Thank you very much! I appreciate your comment
do it, it will be dope to watch you play survival with subs
I'm so glad YT decided to recommend this. It's very fitting that I was playing SDV when I saw it! Flowstate is the PERFECT name too, because long form stuff like this definitely helps me focus (flow!). The self contained stories are wonderful, and if the other comments are right (I'm posting this maybe around 30 minutes in), I've got some good Real Talks to look forward to. I love the idea of starting and ending a world all in one video, because like you said: you don't need any 'lore' for it.
I also really appreciate you explaining the mods! Whatever packs you're using are beautiful to look at when I glance over at an interesting moment. Your voice is nice to listen to, and the music feels like it's part of the world in a way I can't really explain. Great work!
I breathe this video,,, I LOVE MINECRAFT FARMING
approaching each video like you're speaking directly to a new viewer is actually such a refreshing touch
5:18 onions can come from alliums same with garlic. Allium comes from the Latin word for garlic.
I cum from gooning
definetly now my favorite comfort creator i came into this video as just a background video and then when he started talking about time and motivation i stopped and really started listening he has compleatly changed my view on things hes so transparent and such a smart and relatable person to watch you have done more for me in this on video then years of talking to teachers about the same topics
Thank you so much for this video i am now gonna start binge watching all your other videos
