I love that you changed to normal survival, i get hardcore is a challenge but once you die you're gone and I've never liked that, now you can be more adventurous without the pressure of losing your world ;D
@@astro8915 not too difficult to make it at all! if u can survive the first 5 days i feel like u should be able to make it. i heavily rely on shields for tanking damage tbh
@@kyusogakisame. Shields are insane, being able to block attacks completely is very powerful , not only for you and your health , but your armors health and durability. I can craft dozens of shields, but dozens of sets of iron armor are more expensive. Of course iron farms are a thing, but I'm talking early game when I don't have the whole "two netherite pickaxes fully enchanted one with fortune 3 and the other with silk touch inside of the ender chest inside my inventory" setup yet. A couple planks and a piece of iron and I get better damage resistance than netherite armor. I can't survive a creeper explosion unless it's "specific armor enchanted with blast resistance" but one iron and some planks and suddenly I can live through that. To be fair though, I can't walk through lava with an enchanted shield.
As an ADHD struggling person, watching your videos gets me a weird appeasing feeling. I can spend 2 hours watching you playing a slow paced game, talking about very relatable life stuff and actually calm my brain down. 🙏 It helps me calm down, motivates me to focus on the good stuff in life instead of complaining about not so bad stuff. (as a french person, trust me I complain a lot 😅) Keep doing what you're doing ! It's unique, high quality and really well received by a lot of people!
As a high-functioning Autistic individual with sometimes extreme anxiety issues, I relate to the stability and serenity these videos allow one to have. Also, love you buddy, hope you're doing ok.
One of the reasons people love you so much is because of how you TALK to us, the viewers. it's way more refreshing to have a much more calm video where it's almost like a podcast with gameplay, i prefer your videos over other youtubers because you're insanely genuine with what you do, nothing's essentially scripted like every other "100 days in hardcore survival!!", where they're always over the top and super energetic, and that's good! your calm gameplay and deep talks just keeps the attention far more
Idk why people would say “I’m so tired of you doing these survival videos over and over again”. Because you’re Flow state and that’s what flow state does. When I want to watch survival Minecraft with talking exactly how it’s been I watch flowstate. And when I want to watch something else I watch something else
You should try making this a long term world by when you get bored, you leave all your stuff and start fresh somewhere else in the same world. It makes for a truly amazing world in the end.
I freaking love the non-scripted and down to earth commentary style and how you talk about real life stuff from time to time, really makes me feel like I'm having a conversation with you and makes the video a lot easier to watch... Also love the way you play definitely getting tired of everyone doing hardcore all the time seeing a survival series on the channel would be so refreshing. Subbed, love the channel!
32:26 I love bundles for exploring man. It’s so nice when you have like 3 of 8 different types of seeds each taking up a lot of inventory slots, you can just shove it in a bundle, have it take up only 1, and still have room left over. I mean you even say not 5 seconds later how your inventory is so full. You could’ve shoved all that food in a bundle and freed up some inventory space.
I think an interesting thing to think about from a business perspective around series based content is retention of existing viewers vs new viewers. With a series yes it requires more investment to get into for a new viewer but then once a viewer commits they are much more invested to the series and more likely to keep coming back. Its part of the reason why the hermits can make series content for 10+ years and pull good viewership, because they have a captive audience that they have built slowly over that time. I think a good mix is healthy and I really like your idea to make the series very easy to get into. One thing that could be neat is a Red Dead Redemtion style journal where you go over what you did last time and include a few visuals of those things.
I’m normally a lurker here, but… hello! I’ve been subscribed for a while, and I’m really happy you’re trying out normal survival! Hardcore is fun, but overrated, while survival gives more flexibility and room for error, so I hope you enjoy playing! :D
I just stumbled upon your vids today and am a very big fan! As someone with ADHD, its hard to focus on one thing ow paced like Minecraft, but your videos kinda help. I get into this groove and can play for like 3-4 hours straight. Thanks for making long formed content! Very excited to watch your videos and see how you grow
Adam, you did it again. Another upload means it’s gonna be another amazing day! On my way driving to work with my dog in my lap i had to set her aside just so I could comment first haha. Thanks for another amazing upload man. Wishing you all the best!
41:02 I just broke up with my girlfriend (the love of my life, well, who I thought to be) two-ish weeks ago and I have been in a bad place since. Today was my day to pick myself back up, I've cleaned my place, I've made myself lunch, I went out with friends, and I came home and just cried today. And now I am watching this video, you are enough to me, to a lot of people I imagine in your community. You probabaly get stuff like this a lot, because it's true, these videos help, they're a calm in my storm. I don't even know you bro, but keep it up.
i was actually having the worst day possible flow. your videos always help me to relax while i eat dinner and i thank you for that. a lot of content creators these days are super high energy but i love the formula of soft music + you playing some chill Minecraft. as always loving the vid so far. thank you again.
Im so happy right now. So basically, if I want a good PC, i have to do good in school and get through the grade im in. And so I'm almost there, and I can almost get a good PC, i can't wait to be able to play Minecraft like you can. I would normally be on like 20 or 30 fps constantly and that's no fun im so glad i found the motivation I feel like your videos help me with that.
Good luck man. Focus on your goal, start studying and you will achieve your goal. Even when there isn't one, try always to be better than your yesterday self. You know you are strong so go ahead!
For me (even though I'm pretty new to the channel) what I love about Flowstate is the chill vibes and I feel like, while Hardcore does up stakes and keep things interesting in its own way, I really like that I can just put a video on in the BG and just vibe and not have the stress of whether or not the world is about to disappear. Just vibes.
I love the survival play through more than the hardcore, and if you ever get bored of normal survival, you could always do some sort of “random spawn location” upon death so you’re always somewhere new in one world, and as you play through and die you come across things you hadn’t seen in episodes
I'm glad to see that you continued with survival mode after the winter focused 117 day vid. Hope we will be able to see prolonged gameplay on this world in later videos :D Edit: just got to the end of the video and we are actually getting a series on this world, Lets gooo
I like how you're doing alot of "fresh start" or "building with no plan" videos to give a perspective of how you would go about survival mode with the different worlds.
I would like to see this world continue. And about the lying that you don't care, when you actually do care. I feel like it is often self protection. I can only be myself near people I really trust. So if there are people around me that I don't trust, completely, I will pretend that I am fine. Because you are really vulnerable if you do show what you really feel.
If it hasn't been mentioned yet, I recommend adding a mod that adds 'sleeping bags'. they let you sleep through the night and won't change your spawn point at your bed (very handy for multiplayer too). Love the long videos as I play on my own world, so calming and helps me stay focused :D
Man, i just love this channel and the content you make, talking while playing, chill gameplay, i always put your videos in the background and go playing my modpack and listening to you, it's an awesome vibe, even makes me feel less lonely in my world, cuz minecraft is a really lonely game, and you bring me comfort, keep doing what you doing my guy
I love how you use the game as 'a median' to communicate your thoughts to your audience. It provides entertainment and something to watch while also listening to things you have been thinking about that maybe some people can relate to. I think it is awesome how you are honest with your thoughts and don't take the side of a popular opinion even when you talk about stuff from videos you watched and gained that info from. Love the channel, keep up the hard work flow!
The reason you've been growing so quickly is because of your unique, relaxed, "chillin' with the boys" energy and the super longform suits it perfectly. Maybe we first clicked on the channel for Minecraft, but we subscribed and stayed for flowstate. Do it your way 🫡
1:20:33 part of it is that not everyone deserves to see you upset. To see your vulnerable side. Especially on tv. In certain situations, vulnerability is important, but in others, you have to put up a mask. Now some people it is an insecurity, but others, they’ve just learned that being vulnerable and honest to some people isn’t worth. Not everyone deserves to see all of you.
I don’t know if you know these facts but, 1. if you put a haybale under a campfire the smoke coming from the fire goes a lot higher 2. if you see an azalea tree (A tree with flowers on it) it means there is a lush cave beneath it😊
Dude your talk about comparing yourself to other is something that I really needed to hear right now. I’m on a break from college and is this weird state of I’m doing something wrong because I’m not in school like my friends. But at the same time I’ve gotta do what I need to do. I left for a reason. Than ya dude always love how human you talk in your videos, it’s nice to hear others thoughts and how they’re getting through life
Dude the music was perfect in this one, I was vibing. also I love that you're trying to make the house to make sense and feel cozy. I like to use Waystones mod. and i travel a lot and build a different base for everything, like fishing, farming etc
YES! Episodes please. I really like your content and the changes you've made over time, from not sleeping (crazy) on hardcore, to hardcore to normal. I finally don't feel so inadequate watching you play. I die WAY too often on my survival world. Maybe because I play on easy mode with my 5 year old.
Waking up to new flow state videos is one of the best feeling, and I like that you do things in survival now! I really appreciate that you take things slowly and not too seriously, it's very relaxing to watch, thanks for the video flow!
I have been trying to limit my screen time recently but always make an exception for your videos. I think that there’s nothing wrong with playing both sides, like a once a month or so do a video of large scale world that has a long series for your dedicated audience would probably drive a more dedicated fan base but also frequent videos easy for newcomers not only drives engagement, but also allows the potential for newcomers to become long term fans. Of course only if that is what you want or expect from this channel. Love the channel so far, just the “upfront-ness” is so refreshing. So many RUclipsrs try to shy away from the fact that this is their job (not to get into the psychology of that) but the genuineness does not go unfelt.
Clicked on RUclips and first thing I see is flowstate video, couldn’t press on anything faster, wasn’t sleeping and was highly stressed and this helped me get through just fine
I love each and every video you post. No matter the length. (the longer ones are my favorite). but no matter, its always so relaxing to watch these videos, listen to you talk about relatable topics and its even better that it isn't hardcore anymore. It brings out more opportunities with the world. Keep these videos coming and don't ever stop. This is your dream and its a hoax to ever give up on your dream. Live on brother and keep bringing out the good in people and helping others, including myself, tread on in life.
It’s been awesome watching you grow since 50k subscribers, especially now that you’ve been able to quit your job AND you’re getting sponsorships??? Love to see it man, happy for you
This is so chill, your voice is so relaxing for some reason. The thing I love about your modpack is that, its not TOO modded. It doesn't add any mods, it just makes you really want to explore.
as someone who recently started watching your content, the one thing I've really liked was the fact that you had real conversations i like to have with important people in my life, and it is a big reason I've kept watching. I also admire the fact that you move through the game more slow, as all my life minecraft has mostly been about who can build the biggest building and get the best gear, and the change in pace is refreshing.
20:49 It's the 3D vines from the vanilla tweaks resource pack that's causing the lag. You can delete the 3D vines from the resource pack without needing to go to the vanilla tweaks website and select the features you want all over again by opening your resource packs folder, opening vanilla tweaks, assets, minecraft, textures, block, then finding vines and deleting it. If you'd like, you could also delete 3D glow lichen (which is found in the same spot as the vines) as that can cause some lag when in large quantities too. Hope you found this helpful!
I like watching your vids time to time. Remind me of how Minecraft really feels. Now awadays most of my Friends and other RUclipsrs just beat the ender dragon on day 1 and speed through the game like a job.
youre literally so real for the parasocial type relationships with fans and other youtubers and setting boundaries, ive always thought that it was odd how many people say they love someone famous that they literally do not know at all its always been so strange to me and its nice to see how you are setting boundaries cuz ur right how a lot of youtubers like dont know how to set those boundaries and even like umm associate with those people or engage in that behavior,, i do love your videos tho man your editing is awesome and i love talks u have with us viewers its different from other youtubers and very calming and refreshing !! 🫶🫶
I'm almost 30 years old dude. More mature and chill Minecraft videos like this are so much better than the ADHD super hype edited hardcore stuff. Don't worry about the conversational topics. It's great.
I appreciate you talking about unspoken social rules etc or even just how you feel about the microphone. I always wonder how youtubers feel about it. Much appreciated - from Australia :)
I just got my wisdom teeth removed and I was just thinking I need a video to stop me from thinking of the pain and you couldn’t have got a better timing, nothing better then watching a flow state video
I feel like when it comes to minecraft content creators you're the first to really strike inspiration to pick up the game again and try new things and stuff. It's super cool to see, you really make minecraft seem fun and new again.
Amazing content, I know you like started over and just kinda doing whatever inside the world so u can talk more. I would love to see a longer series where you stay in one world for a bit, but honestly ill watch either way.
I don’t play Minecraft anymore and haven’t for years yet I find myself so intrigued and entertained by your content. I love the relaxing vibes and good conversation in each video. Keep it up brother 👊🏼
I enjoy the long videos, but can understand they aren't for everyone and you gotta do what's best for your channel. Also, if you're tree breaks all wonky, as long as there's still leaves attached, the falling tree mod still works. Absolutely love that mod. Idgaf if people think it's cheating, it saves so much of my time and still uses the same durability on an ax as you would if done manually. Okay sorry this is a long one 😂but I did download your Adventure+ mod and I was so frustrated I wasn't getting any XP from the trees, so TYSM!! There's also a bunch of mods on it I wouldn't use because it seems more geared towards people who make videos, and by disabling them, the textures are all wonky and fresh animations doesn't work. Idk if it's possible but if you can make one geared more towards players only without the camera mods, I'd really like that 😅
Glad to see you getting sponsored man, especially with a good company such as Ridge. Wish I had the guts to quit my job and go full time RUclips, but I’m almost graduated from college- so, I kinda wanna see what happens there. Also, random question, but what did you study while in college?
I cannot express the excitement that went through me when I opened RUclips and saw not only a *fresh* Flowstate video, but also it's *2 hours long* . Also, I 100% support the move to regular survival. It's way less stressful to watch lol.
Nah I 100% agree, I cant go back to vanilla minecraft anymore. Shaders and mods have just spoiled me so much that the base game doesnt really feel either fun or like Minecraft anymore.
I was having a rough day and wasn't able to focus on my work. Took a break and watched this, feeling much fresh and better now. amazing video btw can't wait for the next one
I love your vids my dude. I watch them while falling asleep and then watch it for real next day during my WFH. So glad RUclips out you in the recommendations for me
You gotta stop dying man, I don’t wanna keep seeing “a fresh start in Minecraft” almost every video from now on. But you can’t really change fate, unless…
I always love sleeping to your videos but its hard because you seem like such an interesting person, you seem like someone i could listen to for hours and reply because whenever you talk about a topic i have this urge to reply give my view.
Great video! I'm also glad you're switching to more Survival stuff instead of Hardcore since the Stardew video ended prematurely haha. I was just wondering how you were able to get the textures for stone/cobble/dirt and all to bleed into each other? Is it just with Continuity, or a resource pack on top of that? I'm using your modpack Better Adventures+ but it doesn't seem to be working for me haha
Flow I started watching you a little bit after your video about playing Minecraft like Stardew, and ever since I started watching you I really can't stop, your videos and your personality are just to good.
I love the survival idea! Maybe it isn't for everyone but I would watch them all. Also I downloaded your mod pack and found a way to deal with the extra trees that hang around after breaking the axe. Place four saplings to make a large tree immediately next to it, once the tree grows and the logs are touching, the logs count as one tree again! It'll probably still break a stone axe quickly but I got them all this way
I had started making my own channel last year and I had begun to get the pressure of heavily editing my videos and formatting it perfectly to the standards of RUclips, but then this video reminded me of why I had come to RUclips, and the importance of authenticity. Your last handful of videos, along with 'Minecraft Content Needs to Change' really helped. Thanks for this clam and genuine gameplay video!
The thing about this content creator (you) is, in my opinion people watch your videos mostly pf your pure motivation and speech from your life lessons and your gameplay makes us forget the bat times and our sorrows. So, great content from you man, thanks for the things you taught us. ❤
Coming from someone who doesn't minecraft themselves, but enjoys watching other people play, your videos are the best that I've come across to put on when I am working on my art. They're chill and calming, and very enjoyable! I look forward to another installment of this! It's really cool!
Loving your content man! I recently started watching you and already got hooked. Every time I feel stressed I can sit back and relax with your videos. I have recently joined the FlowSMP and it's full of amazing people. Keep inspiring and fulfilling your dream!
I’m a new viewer and I’ve been binge watching your 117 day survival series, you’ve mentioned a few times you like to explore, what about doing 117 days at sea. You could do a boat mod where you can progressively build your boat into a base. Hope you see this really enjoy your content
this is the first video of yours that ive come across, and honestly i got hooked, not feeling like i have to have my full attention on the video and just being able to listen to it is really nice when im doing my own stuff and just want something to listen to in the background. i would love to see this continue as a series.

Now some people it is an insecurity, but others, they’ve just learned that being vulnerable and honest to some people isn’t worth. Not everyone deserves to see all of you.
I don’t know if you know these facts but,
1. if you put a haybale under a campfire the smoke coming from the fire goes a lot higher
2. if you see an azalea tree (A tree with flowers on it) it means there is a lush cave beneath it😊
Dude your talk about comparing yourself to other is something that I really needed to hear right now. I’m on a break from college and is this weird state of I’m doing something wrong because I’m not in school like my friends. But at the same time I’ve gotta do what I need to do. I left for a reason. Than ya dude always love how human you talk in your videos, it’s nice to hear others thoughts and how they’re getting through life
Dude the music was perfect in this one, I was vibing. also I love that you're trying to make the house to make sense and feel cozy.
I like to use Waystones mod. and i travel a lot and build a different base for everything, like fishing, farming etc
YES! Episodes please. I really like your content and the changes you've made over time, from not sleeping (crazy) on hardcore, to hardcore to normal. I finally don't feel so inadequate watching you play. I die WAY too often on my survival world. Maybe because I play on easy mode with my 5 year old.
Waking up to new flow state videos is one of the best feeling, and I like that you do things in survival now! I really appreciate that you take things slowly and not too seriously, it's very relaxing to watch, thanks for the video flow!
Please continue this world. I keep checking for updates on this world lol
I love youre videos so much, watching ur videos helps me cope with my depression
I have been trying to limit my screen time recently but always make an exception for your videos. I think that there’s nothing wrong with playing both sides, like a once a month or so do a video of large scale world that has a long series for your dedicated audience would probably drive a more dedicated fan base but also frequent videos easy for newcomers not only drives engagement, but also allows the potential for newcomers to become long term fans. Of course only if that is what you want or expect from this channel. Love the channel so far, just the “upfront-ness” is so refreshing. So many RUclipsrs try to shy away from the fact that this is their job (not to get into the psychology of that) but the genuineness does not go unfelt.
i love your shift to survival. I had that same feeling about progress before and losing a 136 day old world made me make the same change you did
getting comfy with some snacks to enjoy this 2 hour masterpiece late at night! (Worth it)
Clicked on RUclips and first thing I see is flowstate video, couldn’t press on anything faster, wasn’t sleeping and was highly stressed and this helped me get through just fine
I love each and every video you post. No matter the length. (the longer ones are my favorite). but no matter, its always so relaxing to watch these videos, listen to you talk about relatable topics and its even better that it isn't hardcore anymore. It brings out more opportunities with the world. Keep these videos coming and don't ever stop. This is your dream and its a hoax to ever give up on your dream. Live on brother and keep bringing out the good in people and helping others, including myself, tread on in life.
It’s been awesome watching you grow since 50k subscribers,
especially now that you’ve been able to quit your job AND you’re getting sponsorships??? Love to see it man, happy for you
This is so chill, your voice is so relaxing for some reason. The thing I love about your modpack is that, its not TOO modded. It doesn't add any mods, it just makes you really want to explore.
It’s always a good evening when Flow uploads. Loving the survival vids btw
as someone who recently started watching your content, the one thing I've really liked was the fact that you had real conversations i like to have with important people in my life, and it is a big reason I've kept watching. I also admire the fact that you move through the game more slow, as all my life minecraft has mostly been about who can build the biggest building and get the best gear, and the change in pace is refreshing.
20:49 It's the 3D vines from the vanilla tweaks resource pack that's causing the lag. You can delete the 3D vines from the resource pack without needing to go to the vanilla tweaks website and select the features you want all over again by opening your resource packs folder, opening vanilla tweaks, assets, minecraft, textures, block, then finding vines and deleting it. If you'd like, you could also delete 3D glow lichen (which is found in the same spot as the vines) as that can cause some lag when in large quantities too. Hope you found this helpful!
I like watching your vids time to time. Remind me of how Minecraft really feels. Now awadays most of my Friends and other RUclipsrs just beat the ender dragon on day 1 and speed through the game like a job.
Honestly, this is exactly what I needed today. Really enjoy your videos, thank you!
I love that you aren't forcing yourself to continue a save. Enjoy what you're playing dude and you'll be rewarded
Flowstate video right when I wake up. This day is gonna be great.
I added map mod to mark my houses so i don't need to remember the coordinates.
Now i can explore without having to worry losing my homes
I would love for you to make this a series. I'm glad you are playing survival and not hard core so you can reach your in game goals.
youre literally so real for the parasocial type relationships with fans and other youtubers and setting boundaries, ive always thought that it was odd how many people say they love someone famous that they literally do not know at all its always been so strange to me and its nice to see how you are setting boundaries cuz ur right how a lot of youtubers like dont know how to set those boundaries and even like umm associate with those people or engage in that behavior,, i do love your videos tho man your editing is awesome and i love talks u have with us viewers its different from other youtubers and very calming and refreshing !! 🫶🫶
So glad you swapped from hardcore to regular survival because theres not so much pressure on staying alive and you can just have fun :)
I'm almost 30 years old dude. More mature and chill Minecraft videos like this are so much better than the ADHD super hype edited hardcore stuff. Don't worry about the conversational topics. It's great.
Flowstate videos singlehandedly taken the A level exam stress away, love the vids man
I like the music choice you are using for this video. I hope this world continue until your goals in this world is reached. Thank you flow.
Cant wait for episode two!
I appreciate you talking about unspoken social rules etc or even just how you feel about the microphone. I always wonder how youtubers feel about it.
Much appreciated - from Australia :)
I just got my wisdom teeth removed and I was just thinking I need a video to stop me from thinking of the pain and you couldn’t have got a better timing, nothing better then watching a flow state video
I feel like when it comes to minecraft content creators you're the first to really strike inspiration to pick up the game again and try new things and stuff. It's super cool to see, you really make minecraft seem fun and new again.
Amazing content, I know you like started over and just kinda doing whatever inside the world so u can talk more. I would love to see a longer series where you stay in one world for a bit, but honestly ill watch either way.
I don’t play Minecraft anymore and haven’t for years yet I find myself so intrigued and entertained by your content. I love the relaxing vibes and good conversation in each video. Keep it up brother 👊🏼
HE'S HERE. HE'S DONE IT. These really help my slow days at work MUCH more enjoyable. THANK U ADAM.
I enjoy the long videos, but can understand they aren't for everyone and you gotta do what's best for your channel.
Also, if you're tree breaks all wonky, as long as there's still leaves attached, the falling tree mod still works. Absolutely love that mod. Idgaf if people think it's cheating, it saves so much of my time and still uses the same durability on an ax as you would if done manually.
Okay sorry this is a long one 😂but I did download your Adventure+ mod and I was so frustrated I wasn't getting any XP from the trees, so TYSM!! There's also a bunch of mods on it I wouldn't use because it seems more geared towards people who make videos, and by disabling them, the textures are all wonky and fresh animations doesn't work. Idk if it's possible but if you can make one geared more towards players only without the camera mods, I'd really like that 😅
Glad to see you getting sponsored man, especially with a good company such as Ridge. Wish I had the guts to quit my job and go full time RUclips, but I’m almost graduated from college- so, I kinda wanna see what happens there. Also, random question, but what did you study while in college?
Game Design
I cannot express the excitement that went through me when I opened RUclips and saw not only a *fresh* Flowstate video, but also it's *2 hours long* .
Also, I 100% support the move to regular survival. It's way less stressful to watch lol.
Nah I 100% agree, I cant go back to vanilla minecraft anymore. Shaders and mods have just spoiled me so much that the base game doesnt really feel either fun or like Minecraft anymore.
I'm currently writing exams, but watching this just makes me feel so calm and happy. Thanks for making such good content
Heyy man. First one here. Just saying... Love your work. Hope you make it big and you accomplish everything you want to. Stay safe out there.
I was having a rough day and wasn't able to focus on my work. Took a break and watched this, feeling much fresh and better now. amazing video btw can't wait for the next one
Those playing Minecraft while watching Minecraft: ⬇️
i build while he does and watch the rest lol
I'm watching minecraft, playing minecraft and studying.......
@@BananaGD-fn9rbim watching while trying to study, can’t say the studying is going too good tho😅
Every chance I get!
you’re a bot
I love your vids my dude. I watch them while falling asleep and then watch it for real next day during my WFH. So glad RUclips out you in the recommendations for me
Next episode should be A fresh start of a fresh start of a reboot in Minecraft
You gotta stop dying man, I don’t wanna keep seeing “a fresh start in Minecraft” almost every video from now on. But you can’t really change fate, unless…
I always love sleeping to your videos but its hard because you seem like such an interesting person, you seem like someone i could listen to for hours and reply because whenever you talk about a topic i have this urge to reply give my view.
Great video! I'm also glad you're switching to more Survival stuff instead of Hardcore since the Stardew video ended prematurely haha.
I was just wondering how you were able to get the textures for stone/cobble/dirt and all to bleed into each other? Is it just with Continuity, or a resource pack on top of that? I'm using your modpack Better Adventures+ but it doesn't seem to be working for me haha
Overlay's + Continuity
I think maybe he's using BetterVanilliaBuilding Overlays
Flow I started watching you a little bit after your video about playing Minecraft like Stardew, and ever since I started watching you I really can't stop, your videos and your personality are just to good.
what mods/modpack are you using?? I feel like you using the same couple of mods fairly consistently
Everything I use is in Better Adventures+
I love the survival idea! Maybe it isn't for everyone but I would watch them all. Also I downloaded your mod pack and found a way to deal with the extra trees that hang around after breaking the axe. Place four saplings to make a large tree immediately next to it, once the tree grows and the logs are touching, the logs count as one tree again! It'll probably still break a stone axe quickly but I got them all this way
Those going to sleep to this

I had started making my own channel last year and I had begun to get the pressure of heavily editing my videos and formatting it perfectly to the standards of RUclips, but then this video reminded me of why I had come to RUclips, and the importance of authenticity. Your last handful of videos, along with 'Minecraft Content Needs to Change' really helped. Thanks for this clam and genuine gameplay video!
This is the type of chill and relaxed gameplay video you can watch at any time of the day. Keep it up
Man it baffles me how Flowstate doesn’t have a million subscribers, my favourite channel hands down ‼️
Your quickly becoming my favorite RUclipsr. The relaxed nature the talks while mining is amazing. Thanks for the fantastic content.
The thing about this content creator (you) is, in my opinion people watch your videos mostly pf your pure motivation and speech from your life lessons and your gameplay makes us forget the bat times and our sorrows. So, great content from you man, thanks for the things you taught us. ❤
Coming from someone who doesn't minecraft themselves, but enjoys watching other people play, your videos are the best that I've come across to put on when I am working on my art. They're chill and calming, and very enjoyable! I look forward to another installment of this! It's really cool!
Loving your content man! I recently started watching you and already got hooked. Every time I feel stressed I can sit back and relax with your videos. I have recently joined the FlowSMP and it's full of amazing people. Keep inspiring and fulfilling your dream!
I'd love to an hour long video lets play series. With your build style and calm nature I'd love to watch that
1:08:41 I'm actually sick in bed right now and just took a quick and light nap while watching 😂
So yes. You're voice is indeed really calming 😌
I’m a new viewer and I’ve been binge watching your 117 day survival series, you’ve mentioned a few times you like to explore, what about doing 117 days at sea. You could do a boat mod where you can progressively build your boat into a base. Hope you see this really enjoy your content
this is the first video of yours that ive come across, and honestly i got hooked, not feeling like i have to have my full attention on the video and just being able to listen to it is really nice when im doing my own stuff and just want something to listen to in the background. i would love to see this continue as a series.
The calmest Minecraft video i ever saw
❤
I love the talking. I live alone so its great company
