I know this is eight months old, but with the modding scene, I really think Minecraft will take it's place with the original Doom as one of those games that *always* has a community that still plays it, even if it's relatively small, regardless of whether Mojang keeps updating it or not.
@@kostadim7892 Yeah. Minecraft will eventually fade as other games rise. I like minecraft but its a bit outburnt now. Unless you add tons of mods there isnt much to make videos about or play anymore. And people keep saying minecraft will never die but it will. Same thing with team fortress 2 players saying it will never die, but it will die one day when a better fps inevitably takes over, sooner or later.
When I started Minecraft, I was pretty late. But the more I played the more I loved it and realized this isnt a simple block game. Its a phenomenon. Popularity is fleeting, but even if Minecraft some day becomes the most obscure thing to exist, I'll still be logging on to do what I do best. Mine and craft
It makes me incredibly happy knowing that even once I place my final block, whether unknowingly or not, there will always be someone out there who is placing their first.
I think it's incredible that a game like Minecraft got as big as it did. I couldn't have imagined just how much it would explode into the mainstream back in 2012, but I'm glad that it did. Even though I don't play it too much anymore, it's always nice to look back and see how it's always evolving with a huge fanbase.
Well it was made with love.. No money intended.. No corporate company that just wanted to make one and another for money... the game started off as a guy making a game for fun.. and then deciding to sell it for free.. Just because he wanted people to experience what he made and have the same love for his game as he did..

And I still am. Ever since almost the very beginning. And I still will, because it's just a relaxing, but also exciting game to play, alone or with friends

“and while there might come a day where i eventually place my last block and log out of the game forever, there will always be someone new, logging onto the game for the first time, and placing their first block on their own journey with Minecraft” why did that make me cry oml
The Yogscast (or BlueXephos as the channel was originally called before they became a content creator group) was the first channel I ever saw when I went on UA-cam for the first time back in like 2011-ish, I still watch them daily, and they, along with Minecraft itself, will always hold a special place in my heart.
Awesome video. I have been playing Minecraft for at least 8 years and I even took a year long break and was pulled into Fortnite. I think I needed the break though because when I came back there was so much to explore. It has been about two years since I quit Fortnite and I am still not showing any signs of stopping. I recently bought my own PC and now I am hooked on Java edition and it is awesome. I know for a fact that one day I will have to take another break and there will be a dead period but I believe that it will come back again and that this will happen forever. Again awesome video and good work.
Man this was really well done! Wish it could get more recognition. I'm glad you added so many UA-camrs into it from all different areas of the community!
I really think the video jchlatt did back in the day really brought this game back through nostalgia and pure interest. I really think that and the new wave of SMPs during 2019 really skyrocketed minecraft back into the place it truly deserves to be, and I couldn't be happier.
Favorite thing about minecraft is playing modded with a group of friends (we do it once every year or so), and me never really getting to the mods because I'm too busy building a house/treefort/castle/terracefarm/ancient greek forge. Making my own modpack now, since we couldn't decide on which one to play last time.
My first minecraft video i watched was X's adventures the day it came out. I vividly remember waiting for each new episode to watch with my younger sister. I was in middle school back then, and now im finished my degree and moved out years ago. My god times fly, but i will always have memories of that playthrough and the times i ended up having with minecraft, all the way up until mid way through my time at Uni. Minecraft is forever, im going to be old and grey and tell my grandkids about that funny little block game.
@@10ksubswithnovidschallenge78 I wouldn't call it a masterpiece. Nothing is a masterpiece. Nothing is perfect. You may not like my opinion, but I'm kind of waiting for Minecraft to fully run it's course and end. The biggest reason behind that, is because I'm starting to get annoyed seeing it everywhere, and as well as "Fully run it's course and end" is what each game does. Not saying these things because I hate Minecraft, I actually fairly love it. It was in fact one of my first played games. But now, I just feel like it's enough.
I'm 23 years old now and I grew up playing video games and loving my time with them; however, minecraft is one of those games that never really pulled me in. I have fond memories of occasionally hopping on to play with friends, but those periods were brief and sparse. I could never figure out why I couldn't get into it as much as other games even though it has all of the things I like in a video game like freedom, exploration, crafting, and creativity to name a few. I sank countless enjoyable hours into somewhat similar games like Subnautica and Garry's mod and could spend the entire day playing until fatigue is the only thing that pulls me away for the day but with minecraft I never had that experience. I almost feel as though something's wrong with me and envy those that are so fond of the game and hold so many good memories of it and wish I had whatever you need to have such a fun time with what seems like an endless experience. I have it on both xbox and pc and this video inspired me to give it another shot and really be patient with myself and the game this time. I think maybe I go into it as well as other games and maybe we all make this mistake with new experiences, expecting it to be like previous experiences and not allowing it to be great for what it objectively is unbiased by our expectations and past experiences.
1:52 I never even thought about this, but imagine having your small indie game pick up so much steam that you can have an entire convention before the first full version of your game is actually out
All of your videos look so amazing and have great quality! Your commentary and explanation of things actually feels real, and nothing in this channels content seems like it’s fake or clickbait. I don’t understand how this channel doesn’t have more popularity. But I know for a fact your channels gonna grow, it has to. Keep pushing out good content man. It’s incredible.
Honestly though, I can’t see this game lasting a lot longer with how Microsoft and mojang are currently handling the game, low quality low effort updates, constant failed promises, focus on money over community, etc etc. it’s getting worse and worse and I’m wondering how long we have till most people get tired of the way the games heading.
@@Nick_Skywalker explain what they’ve taken out then? Because from what I’ve seen all they been doing is adding a lot to the game and it’s actually really fun now
8:35 made some water form in my eyes man. Wish I could forget Minecraft sometimes and go back to when I didn't know what coal was and I built a dirt castle with my brothers. Also yeah as soon as I got a good pc I tried to stretch MC to its limit.
I hope this game remains as one of the few constants in life. I want my children's children's children to play Minecraft. I want this game to outlive me and everyone I know. I want this thing to be studied by aliens 14,000 years in the future. I want to be buried in this game. I want to die by being blown up by a creeper. I live by the craft. I will most likely die by the craft. I will be forgotten by the craft. But the craft will never be forgotten by me.
Dude it's just a game not a whatever nothing can live forever and that what you say is crazy in future there will be a game like Minecraft but maybe better there will be inspired games but the original you can't play anymore
I remember playing with my babysitter and brother on xbox and it gives so much nostalgia, minecraft has impacted so many people, even if the game will ever die people wont forgot the good times they had on it.
I still remember my first “forever world” on my PS3 back in elementary. Man I’d do whatever to relive those years. I just graduated and turned 18. Now it’s time to venture off into the real world but this game will still always be in my game library. I built my first rig about 2 years ago but it just doesn’t feel the same. Don’t get me wrong I still have fun with the game on Java especially because I’ve always wanted to play that version bc my favorite UA-camrs played it but nothing will ever beat the summer vacation early mornings and late nights on mc without a care in the world. I miss those days🥲
I'm probably going to play Minecraft for more than half my lifespan, and that's kind of scary. There's a good fucking chance I'll boot up the game for the first time in 10 years when my hypothetical children ask me if I've heard of minecraft. Hell, there probably won't even be a 10 year gap. I've been going 12 years strong, I can keep going. I honestly just want to see how far I can take it. Imagine asking your dad or grand dad about some game you and your friends just found and it turns out he's been playing for 40 to 60+ years already. It's probably like finding out your grandpa was an avid skateboarder in the 1950's.
This is such a great video! And yes Etho is my favorite UA-camr of all time too! His channel has meant so much to me and have been watching if for over 10 years now! And I just started posting some of my own Minecraft content this past year too on my new channel so that just proves the point of your video! Keep up the great videos!! Also I just subscribed!
I remember picking up on Minecraft from a teens game magazine I used to read, and from UA-cam. I carried the magazine with me and read the feature story over and over until my parents got me a laptop and I could finally play Minecraft. That was in 2012, over ten damn years ago and I still play Minecraft!
Honestly, I do consider minecraft's downfall for it to be its own fault. It was partly the community's fault, but it is MAINLY about the updates and Microsofts decisions. When the update aquatic came out, more people started playing it. In my opinion, without that decision to make better updates I think it would have stayed dead. I love Minecraft, and I really hope it never goes there again.
1.19 will definitely be IMMENSE,notice how minecraft is becoming more archeology and more of a adventure quest type.Its honestly so wholesome to see this game grow and so as the community itself has a blast of a time
I think when it comes to Minecraft's popularity I have to say for me at least it was not about Minecraft becoming popular it was more about having fun in game that you can git loss in for hours or maybe years. To simplify its more about the experience you create well playing the game. That's what it was always like for me for years. Minecraft blowing up for the first time just increased my enjoyment for the game but even after other games took it's spot I stilled played the game when everybody thought it was a "dead game". But still this is my own opinion maybe other people have different views about popularity on UA-cam with Minecraft.
I first started playing minecraft in 2013 on the ps3 and stopped playing during 2017 when I was mid way through high school. But I eventually came back to it in 2020 and I’ve been playing it since. I then took a break about halfway through last year and picked up the controller again this week. Minecraft is just that game that you never delete and it’s always there. You will always decide randomly to play it and get hooked for months.
CREEPEER AWWWW MAAAAN deadass tho, i doubt I'll ever truly get bored of this game considering I legit spent time playing it since it's release, the music is the major factor for this gem I truly do see myself playing it 10 years for now, just the amount the fanbase has done to make it interesting never fades for me
Wow I honestly thought this guy had several hundred thousands subscribers with how high quality this content is, and I'm happy to help him to get there
The two creators that got me into the game was Caliform and The Yogscast. Those two were pivotal in my love for the game. Its crazy how important this game is to not only me, but so many other people. I’ll never forget the moments had and am excited to make new ones.
3:30 the extreme dip there ... that was a ... sadly successful ddos-attack landing perfectly on hypixel, leading a lot of those people over to wynncraft.. who were also hit by the attack.. the difference: wynncraft was able to recover from it faster... I don't know specific reasons. To show how many people were now on Wynncraft for about one week one world in wynncraft can hold 40 people and on an average day, the highest world you'll find is 30-40 or so during that week... the worlds were constantly above 100 There were SO many people from hypixel in wynncraft that wynncraft players started mocking and talking shit about 'all the hypixel kiddies that should just stay away from wynncraft' or something like that also.. loot chests start empty on a new server. they fill up over time and get better contents the longer they're closed. if someone opens one, they get what's inside.. abd then the chest restarts its cycle from the beginning also, normally a world restarted after being up for about 7-8 hours during that week, there were servers that were up for 50-52 hours and there was not a single lootchest that contained more than 2-5 emeralds.. throw in the occasional unidentified unique item.. the lowest quality of loot it was awful... Feels like a war flashback... the first hit of the ddos-attack was immediately visible someone sent a message that everyone on the server could see: "Don't move any important items in your inventory right now, the servers are under attack which will probably delete those items because of the lag" at first i thought it was a joke it didn't affect me too much since my wifi connection was almost always as laggy as on that day but then I saw a level 101 player running from level 20 zombies... and they asked me, a level 40 mage, for help i helped them and learned that they lost their entire armor set because they wanted to make sure it wouldn't be deleted... but exactly that deleted the armor Detlas, a city in wynn where people from all levels normally gathered.. mostly lvl 10-40 players though.. since lvl 100 players and such had access to better areas .... this small city was now overrun by lvl 100 players who were trying to recover from the server attack I was lucky that I wasn't hit as hard.. the only thing I lost was a level 20 rare helmet... not too much.. compared to several pieces of legendary or even mythic armor or weapons... I still feel bad for those people
Minecraft keeps updating and adding new features which makes it extend its life span for another 5 years with the pace the devs are going and adding stuff rn if say Minecraft will last for another decade or so, the longer it's alive the more features it gets And don't forget about the mods
It’s so strange to me that so many people experienced X’s series as their first exposer to Minecraft My first experience was with PaulSoaresJr I believe he was actually the first person to start making a Minecraft survive series on UA-cam and genuinely seems like a great guy, still makes some Minecraft videos to this day
I think in late 2012, I began to see Minecraft for the first time. A person playing one of the first mini games. After that I began to play Minecraft and enjoy it ever since.
I started playing the game 10 years ago, I had to ask my mom to buy it for me online which was a strange thing to do at the time. My mother distrusted purchases on the internet but I still managed to convince her anyway. I have been playing it for ten years now, alone, with friends, took some breaks but I WILL NEVER stop playing this game. This is the most timeless game there will ever be and I just love the community we build together. Keep playing my friends and spread some positivity.
I started playing Minecraft in 2016 on my Wii U, and the only reason I ever got to play it in the first place was because a relative bought a copy for me. I had no interest in Minecraft until I got it on Wii U and then it became my favourite game, and I haven't stopped playing it since. Minecraft is such a uniquely powerful game, and I'm glad I got to experience it for so long.
The reason why Minecraft does so well is because anyone can play the game and do something new that hasn’t been done before a new twist a new series and new type of smp it’s never ending the possibility’s
Damn watching some of the older versions just brought back a wave of nostalgia damn those days were the best, watching syndicate yogscast trying to play Minecraft with a potatoe getting like 2 frames. Truly the golden years
Idk if you mentions FitMC, but he’s like the only reason why I know about just a bit of the history that happened on the oldest anarchy server. Man I wish I was there when it was going down, I know it would’ve been hell but at the same time it would’ve been fun. I’ve barely started playing mc recently. The things that have happened and the lengths this game has gone is truly glorious. The devs should be proud of this game. This is just something that probably could last for generations. I know people who are already showing their kids mc, wouldn’t be surprising to me if those kids showed their kids mc

My first minecraft video i watched was X's adventures the day it came out. I vividly remember waiting for each new episode to watch with my younger sister. I was in middle school back then, and now im finished my degree and moved out years ago. My god times fly, but i will always have memories of that playthrough and the times i ended up having with minecraft, all the way up until mid way through my time at Uni. Minecraft is forever, im going to be old and grey and tell my grandkids about that funny little block game.
A game for all generations
For real, minecraft is a masterpiece

@@TheCasualGuy2 yooo its michael :O
@@10ksubswithnovidschallenge78 I wouldn't call it a masterpiece. Nothing is a masterpiece. Nothing is perfect. You may not like my opinion, but I'm kind of waiting for Minecraft to fully run it's course and end. The biggest reason behind that, is because I'm starting to get annoyed seeing it everywhere, and as well as "Fully run it's course and end" is what each game does. Not saying these things because I hate Minecraft, I actually fairly love it. It was in fact one of my first played games. But now, I just feel like it's enough.
@@simasonas see you in 100 years
Minecraft is just built different
May the algorithm bless you, you make such high quality videos that I'm amazed I only recently discovered you upload.
I'm 23 years old now and I grew up playing video games and loving my time with them; however, minecraft is one of those games that never really pulled me in. I have fond memories of occasionally hopping on to play with friends, but those periods were brief and sparse. I could never figure out why I couldn't get into it as much as other games even though it has all of the things I like in a video game like freedom, exploration, crafting, and creativity to name a few. I sank countless enjoyable hours into somewhat similar games like Subnautica and Garry's mod and could spend the entire day playing until fatigue is the only thing that pulls me away for the day but with minecraft I never had that experience. I almost feel as though something's wrong with me and envy those that are so fond of the game and hold so many good memories of it and wish I had whatever you need to have such a fun time with what seems like an endless experience. I have it on both xbox and pc and this video inspired me to give it another shot and really be patient with myself and the game this time. I think maybe I go into it as well as other games and maybe we all make this mistake with new experiences, expecting it to be like previous experiences and not allowing it to be great for what it objectively is unbiased by our expectations and past experiences.
How'd it go?
well, u could try mods, maybe a few will help leech u into the game a lot more
Your channel is about to blow up. Remember us.
"How long will minecraft last?" 2024-2025 if microsoft continues with its current dirrection
Really enjoyed the quality of the video, adding statistical values was a chef's kiss.
Be right back, gonna go leave a world idling and see how long it takes for my pc to explode. Then we'll get a definite answer on its longevity
1:52 I never even thought about this, but imagine having your small indie game pick up so much steam that you can have an entire convention before the first full version of your game is actually out
All of your videos look so amazing and have great quality! Your commentary and explanation of things actually feels real, and nothing in this channels content seems like it’s fake or clickbait. I don’t understand how this channel doesn’t have more popularity. But I know for a fact your channels gonna grow, it has to. Keep pushing out good content man. It’s incredible.
Until chat filter is added
Honestly though, I can’t see this game lasting a lot longer with how Microsoft and mojang are currently handling the game, low quality low effort updates, constant failed promises, focus on money over community, etc etc. it’s getting worse and worse and I’m wondering how long we have till most people get tired of the way the games heading.
i agree
Nah the updates are definitely high quality tf are you on about
@@pearbuns101 if you see all the things they've taken out or has essentially given people false hope, you'll see what they're talking about more.
@@Nick_Skywalker explain what they’ve taken out then? Because from what I’ve seen all they been doing is adding a lot to the game and it’s actually really fun now
Yeah and the chat censorship
I've been looking for more short form gaming essay style content (a weird niche I know) and I've finally found it. Definitely subscribing.
8:35 made some water form in my eyes man. Wish I could forget Minecraft sometimes and go back to when I didn't know what coal was and I built a dirt castle with my brothers. Also yeah as soon as I got a good pc I tried to stretch MC to its limit.
I hope this game remains as one of the few constants in life. I want my children's children's children to play Minecraft. I want this game to outlive me and everyone I know. I want this thing to be studied by aliens 14,000 years in the future. I want to be buried in this game. I want to die by being blown up by a creeper.
I live by the craft.
I will most likely die by the craft.
I will be forgotten by the craft.
But the craft will never be forgotten by me.
"@soupbane1688 was blown up by a Creeper."
Dude it's just a game not a whatever nothing can live forever and that what you say is crazy in future there will be a game like Minecraft but maybe better there will be inspired games but the original you can't play anymore
I remember playing with my babysitter and brother on xbox and it gives so much nostalgia, minecraft has impacted so many people, even if the game will ever die people wont forgot the good times they had on it.
I still remember my first “forever world” on my PS3 back in elementary. Man I’d do whatever to relive those years. I just graduated and turned 18. Now it’s time to venture off into the real world but this game will still always be in my game library. I built my first rig about 2 years ago but it just doesn’t feel the same. Don’t get me wrong I still have fun with the game on Java especially because I’ve always wanted to play that version bc my favorite UA-camrs played it but nothing will ever beat the summer vacation early mornings and late nights on mc without a care in the world. I miss those days🥲
This video brought tears to my eyes just from pure nostalgia and all the memories I've made playing this game
Damn truth ❤️
What a delightful love letter to the game that brought so many people together
9:26 why that was so nostalgic 🥺
I'm probably going to play Minecraft for more than half my lifespan, and that's kind of scary. There's a good fucking chance I'll boot up the game for the first time in 10 years when my hypothetical children ask me if I've heard of minecraft. Hell, there probably won't even be a 10 year gap. I've been going 12 years strong, I can keep going. I honestly just want to see how far I can take it.
Imagine asking your dad or grand dad about some game you and your friends just found and it turns out he's been playing for 40 to 60+ years already. It's probably like finding out your grandpa was an avid skateboarder in the 1950's.
I feel like the chat report system will most likely make Minecraft drop in popularity.
Nearly 10K. You've done it, my man. Congratulations. Absolutely deserved, and more on the way. Good luck!
I legit found your channel like 50 minutes ago and I’ve binged like half your videos. what a coincidence that you’ve uploaded this very instance.
It doesn't matter how long this game will last, i'm sure it will always have a place in our hearts.
This is such a great video! And yes Etho is my favorite UA-camr of all time too! His channel has meant so much to me and have been watching if for over 10 years now! And I just started posting some of my own Minecraft content this past year too on my new channel so that just proves the point of your video! Keep up the great videos!! Also I just subscribed!
I remember picking up on Minecraft from a teens game magazine I used to read, and from UA-cam. I carried the magazine with me and read the feature story over and over until my parents got me a laptop and I could finally play Minecraft. That was in 2012, over ten damn years ago and I still play Minecraft!
9:25
"And while there might come a day, where I eventually place my last block and log out of the game"
This broke my heart a bit
@@rpe I'll actually try doing this now
The quality of your channel is insane i love it
Honestly, I do consider minecraft's downfall for it to be its own fault. It was partly the community's fault, but it is MAINLY about the updates and Microsofts decisions. When the update aquatic came out, more people started playing it. In my opinion, without that decision to make better updates I think it would have stayed dead.
I love Minecraft, and I really hope it never goes there again.
Minecraft never died, it just got less popular
The game being less popular and the game has died are both two different things, they don’t mean the same thing at all
1.19 will definitely be IMMENSE,notice how minecraft is becoming more archeology and more of a adventure quest type.Its honestly so wholesome to see this game grow and so as the community itself has a blast of a time
Ppl don't give the update aquatic enough credit. It was what got me really back into the game.
The community DID get pretty bad for a good 3-4 year stretch from what I can remember
A game might be more addicting than minecraft, but a person will get bored of ot eventually, minecraft is the only game i can't get bored of
As long as your imagination is full of ideas, this game will never die.
0:33 i love how the non minecraft streamers have like 20x the stream time
3:25 ah yes, the dark ages
I think when it comes to Minecraft's popularity I have to say for me at least it was not about Minecraft becoming popular it was more about having fun in game that you can git loss in for hours or maybe years.
To simplify its more about the experience you create well playing the game. That's what it was always like for me for years. Minecraft blowing up for the first time just increased my enjoyment for the game but even after other games took it's spot I stilled played the game when everybody thought it was a "dead game".
But still this is my own opinion maybe other people have different views about popularity on UA-cam with Minecraft.
I first started playing minecraft in 2013 on the ps3 and stopped playing during 2017 when I was mid way through high school. But I eventually came back to it in 2020 and I’ve been playing it since. I then took a break about halfway through last year and picked up the controller again this week. Minecraft is just that game that you never delete and it’s always there. You will always decide randomly to play it and get hooked for months.
1:31 OMFG THATS THE UA-camR I WATCHED AS A KID IN THE EARLY EARLY DAYS!
How do you not have at least a million subs? I love these short essay videos! Keep it up! :D
Actually growing up with minecraft and terraria since I was a kid, this got me in the FEELS.
Amazing video brother. I'm glad I found this channel.
You're going to be big one day, I just know it. :)
"How long will Minecraft last?"
"Yes."
6:45 sipover stopped making good videos and started focusing on getting into the algorithm
CREEPEER AWWWW MAAAAN
deadass tho, i doubt I'll ever truly get bored of this game considering I legit spent time playing it since it's release, the music is the major factor for this gem
I truly do see myself playing it 10 years for now, just the amount the fanbase has done to make it interesting never fades for me
The god finally has made it
Wow I honestly thought this guy had several hundred thousands subscribers with how high quality this content is, and I'm happy to help him to get there
however long that time was 1.19.1 100% shortened it
The two creators that got me into the game was Caliform and The Yogscast. Those two were pivotal in my love for the game. Its crazy how important this game is to not only me, but so many other people. I’ll never forget the moments had and am excited to make new ones.
Me too but Unspeakable was the one to get me into minecraft
3:30 the extreme dip there ... that was a ... sadly successful ddos-attack landing perfectly on hypixel, leading a lot of those people over to wynncraft.. who were also hit by the attack..
the difference: wynncraft was able to recover from it faster... I don't know specific reasons. To show how many people were now on Wynncraft for about one week
one world in wynncraft can hold 40 people
and on an average day, the highest world you'll find is 30-40 or so
during that week... the worlds were constantly above 100
There were SO many people from hypixel in wynncraft that wynncraft players started mocking and talking shit about 'all the hypixel kiddies that should just stay away from wynncraft' or something like that
also.. loot chests start empty on a new server. they fill up over time and get better contents the longer they're closed. if someone opens one, they get what's inside.. abd then the chest restarts its cycle from the beginning
also, normally a world restarted after being up for about 7-8 hours
during that week, there were servers that were up for 50-52 hours
and there was not a single lootchest that contained more than 2-5 emeralds.. throw in the occasional unidentified unique item.. the lowest quality of loot
it was awful...
Feels like a war flashback...
the first hit of the ddos-attack was immediately visible
someone sent a message that everyone on the server could see:
"Don't move any important items in your inventory right now, the servers are under attack which will probably delete those items because of the lag"
at first i thought it was a joke
it didn't affect me too much since my wifi connection was almost always as laggy as on that day
but then I saw a level 101 player running from level 20 zombies... and they asked me, a level 40 mage, for help
i helped them and learned that they lost their entire armor set because they wanted to make sure it wouldn't be deleted... but exactly that deleted the armor
Detlas, a city in wynn where people from all levels normally gathered.. mostly lvl 10-40 players though.. since lvl 100 players and such had access to better areas .... this small city was now overrun by lvl 100 players who were trying to recover from the server attack
I was lucky that I wasn't hit as hard.. the only thing I lost was a level 20 rare helmet... not too much.. compared to several pieces of legendary or even mythic armor or weapons...
I still feel bad for those people
This video was amazing, it gave me chills while I watched it 😄
this aged like milk
Minecraft keeps updating and adding new features which makes it extend its life span for another 5 years with the pace the devs are going and adding stuff rn if say Minecraft will last for another decade or so, the longer it's alive the more features it gets
And don't forget about the mods
This is beginning to have aged badly
Did you even watch this video? lol I’m assuming not considering your comment
A few days after this videos anniversary I'm watching it again and oh god, it be killing itself
It’s so strange to me that so many people experienced X’s series as their first exposer to Minecraft
My first experience was with PaulSoaresJr I believe he was actually the first person to start making a Minecraft survive series on UA-cam and genuinely seems like a great guy, still makes some Minecraft videos to this day
this hits different after 1.19.1
yep
I think in late 2012, I began to see Minecraft for the first time. A person playing one of the first mini games. After that I began to play Minecraft and enjoy it ever since.
I started playing the game 10 years ago, I had to ask my mom to buy it for me online which was a strange thing to do at the time. My mother distrusted purchases on the internet but I still managed to convince her anyway. I have been playing it for ten years now, alone, with friends, took some breaks but I WILL NEVER stop playing this game. This is the most timeless game there will ever be and I just love the community we build together. Keep playing my friends and spread some positivity.
I started playing Minecraft in 2016 on my Wii U, and the only reason I ever got to play it in the first place was because a relative bought a copy for me. I had no interest in Minecraft until I got it on Wii U and then it became my favourite game, and I haven't stopped playing it since. Minecraft is such a uniquely powerful game, and I'm glad I got to experience it for so long.
Ohh another Wii U player
"How Long Will Minecraft Last?
"
*Y E S*
4:38 I don't think I could have summed it up better than this
The reason why Minecraft does so well is because anyone can play the game and do something new that hasn’t been done before a new twist a new series and new type of smp it’s never ending the possibility’s
That outro really gets you thinking.
One of the best videos I've watched in a while... You kept me hooked the whole time, and that's rare :D
Minecraft will last until Microsoft kills it
So two days ago?
Damn watching some of the older versions just brought back a wave of nostalgia damn those days were the best, watching syndicate yogscast trying to play Minecraft with a potatoe getting like 2 frames. Truly the golden years
Idk if you mentions FitMC, but he’s like the only reason why I know about just a bit of the history that happened on the oldest anarchy server. Man I wish I was there when it was going down, I know it would’ve been hell but at the same time it would’ve been fun. I’ve barely started playing mc recently. The things that have happened and the lengths this game has gone is truly glorious. The devs should be proud of this game. This is just something that probably could last for generations. I know people who are already showing their kids mc, wouldn’t be surprising to me if those kids showed their kids mc
You don’t quit from Minecraft you just take a long break
Ah yes, my favorite server "The oldest anarchy in minecraft"
