    Hey caanths here - seen a bunch of comments saying "omg I hope you cover ____" and just wanna say I probably didn't lol. This is the briefest overview of the timeline of Minecraft on RUclips, shown to someone who has no idea what a lets play is even. I didn't really have time to go into every subset of Minecraft and just kind of covered the pivotal points.
    As a side note, I want to actually do a full dive on Yogscast cause theyve done so much, and potentially do a seperate dive into XQC vs Forsen speedruns. SMP Live was tricky cause of Carson, so might do a dive at some point but wanted to keep this one more lighthearted.
    If there's anyone else you feel should get a full indepth dive into let me know! Happy Divemas :)

      @VVheeli Год назад +3

      For being mainly in the know for a lot of things, I thought for sure Stanz at least had learned the term somewhere.
      Someone’s gotta teach him the ropes. Maybe using the old heads that popularized it and made early video game YT what it was. Protonjon and the Runaway Guys crew still streams regularly. And that era of Nintendo making people sign up to show their games, and the lengths Chuggaconnroy led the charge to fight the policy. Maybe Maximillian Dood for the fighting game side, and even Ray Narvaez Jr. that built his early online career doing that stuff with AH.
      I’m amazed Stanz has no prior knowledge of let’s plays.

    to clarifty with the older yogscast minecraft. Most, if not all of it, was a surprise for simon. Basically the whole channel was built around lewis finding simon funny. So he and a bunch of the others from YOGS (not yogscast yet at that time, the wow guild, which was "Ye Olde Goon Squad" hence Yogs) would just build stuff and set up funny scenarios for simon to experience. Which made it even better, because simon was like the viewers perspective, while lewis would, in a lot of cases, nudge simon towards the stuff all the others had scripted. I first started watching them after finding their wow videos (as a kid that had never stepped into any raids, they where amazing) then onto the Yogpod, then minecraft. And i remember when the first minecraft videos came around, it was at the same time that my school gave every student a laptop (for work) and we all immedietely got minecraft on the laptops. What a time......I still love the yogscast, and watch pretty often, although not so much the TTT stuff, since iv had like 10 years of multiple channels worth of TTT over the years. But they do some really great other channels now, board games and roleplaying. And have even done a few episodes of their own live action Taskmaster show, and even just yesterday released another live action show which is real fun!

      There’s some big stuff, like touching on Hunger Games without diving into those big names like JeromeASF. MC Parody songs really starting even before CaptainSparklez (I think the Yogscast songs were a year before his). And a lot of different trends in early Minecraft that just popped up. Hardcore survival, Hunger Games and the start of public servers, Spleef and Bed Wars. Skyblock Survival also not mentioned in the video. I know the introduction of the command blocks could be an entire hour of implications to both modding and also teaching children rudamentary programming.
      Or even when Minecraft went onto Xbox, and the only youtubers that actually played that version being Roosterteeth/Achievement Hunter. And them making it popular enough for the devs to put in the Tower of Pimps into the tutorial as an easter egg.

    Everyone upset Hermitcraft wasn’t covered, none of the creators weee covered at all from Etho to Mumbo and Grian. I think even if it is or isn’t planned it leaves the door open to a Hermitcraft deep dive later on.
    I think it makes sense anyways because the Hermitcraft series kind of ran tangential to the ups and downs of Minecraft which is what was covered.
    Other big creators and series from the past can get dives later as well.
    Also just want to say I loved the video, even though it doesn’t have time to hit every creator it does go through the overarching storyline well. Nice video Caanths + Stanz :)

    • @maddisonk88
      @maddisonk88 Год назад +1

      It was a very British minecraft centered deep dive. It would be the equivalent of a "deep dive on non-skit OG youtubers", talking about Zoella, Dan & Phil, Alfie but not mentioning people like Tyler Oakley, Grace Helbig and the Green brothers. Yes, there is a history there for sure, but very regional.
      Even given how massive livestreaming is in Spain, Japan, Germany now, it would be hard to give a truly world-wide overview, but I think that Stanz getting the info from a British crafter when his audience is primarily American/North American is probably where some of the disappointment comes in!
      Still a good general timeline though.

    I feel like the Minecraft resurgence directly was a generation of Minecraft fans growing up.

They were now in their late teens and actually started to gain the skills to do something with their love for the game.

    Historians will say Pewdiepie but I attribute the revival of Minecraft to Jschlatt his vid "A Tribute to Minecraft" which had trickled down to things like Carson's SMPLive popularizing SMPs, both of which predated Pewdiepie's newer Minecraft series. These events inspired the likes of WilburSoot and others to create SMPEarth which saw a meteoric rise to many creators like TommyInnit, Technoblade, etc. The DreamSMP was formed slightly later and at first was similar to other SMPs but then became a storyline that started by parodying Hamilton.

    Edit: now that I look back on it. I think they popularized the Ultra Hardcore Game mode that servers use today. Teams crafting, mining, and fighting for the last team left while being in Hardcore Mode, I remember watching those in 2012/2013. The are truly pioneers of the Minecraft content sphere.

    Achievement Hunter Minecraft videos were the only ones I watched. Them playing around the limited console version originally along with an editing style that constantly bounced between perspectives in the group has essentially ruined watching any other Minecraft video because just staying on one static character, especially in a group scenario, just never did it for me. In fact, it carries over into any group Let's Plays in general. I wish more people would go the extra mile to put that type of effort into the subsequent RUclips video when they collab on stream, but I realize why they don't. I always have to hope that some super fan will edit together the multiple perspectives because the streamers never will since they need it for their own channels or whatever.

    Everyone always skips over The Pack!! It's Vikkstar123, Lachlan, BajanCanadian, JeromeASF, PrestonPlayz, and MrWoofless. It was the biggest Minecraft group after TeamCrafted/Yogscast & they've recently got back together and started a group channel. They had a series called How to Minecraft which was like the OG Dream SMP. It's crazy that everyone remembers Minecraft RUclips through completely different creators because of how huge it was.

    These videos are so wild to me because my experience with RUclips is so different. Like I got into watching people doing let’s plays even though I don’t play the games myself.
    Also, I guess it’d be kind of not the same because they had their own website(and there’s just a lot of stuff that’s gone down that they may not wanna talk about lol) , but they did(do) have a yt channel, Achievement Hunter via RT. For a while before everything they had a bunch of different long running series going. They were kind of the only channel I watched play games(Minecraft, GTA, halo, etc.) continuously.

    if you do cover yogscast, would love a section on HatFilms. they're a group of 3 guys under the yogscast umbrella but more separate. in my opinion theyre some of the funniest people in yogscast ~ fun fact they were hired by minecraft to make alot of their trailers!

  • @BzBuck

    It actually followed a cycle even more than they realized. Back when it was in the first dead period the main thing still existing was hermitcraft. It was just a wholesome little community with no lore or anything, just playing Minecraft on a big server with friends. It still had a significant amount of viewers but nowhere near the before or after. When Minecraft became popular again, so did hermitcraft. Now as Minecraft does continue to fade in popularity again hermitcraft stands as probably the most popular place with Minecraft content, and just based on how it is, it will likely continue that way far into the future.

  • @SolarE845
    @SolarE845 Год назад +10

    If you do a yogscast deep dive you have to cover the tekkit server, honestly you could do a dive just on that. I used to watch it from every perspective and it was so good how you had more laid back old lets play style with sips co and simon/lewis, more RP focused with rythian and more tutorial focused with duncan.

    SeaNanners wasn't the first Let's Play (and I'd also argue he wasn't the most popular at the time either). He directly states in his first video that he was inspired by X's Adventures in Minecraft. That series definitely deserves more credit on it, sucks that it almost universally gets snubbed despite SeaNanners directly shouting him out.

    Definitely think when talking about the golden age of Minecraft, mindcrack(including Seth bling), bajancanadian and kyrspeedy should get honorable mentions. They were HUGE and all had large impacts on starting the play styles that made Minecraft popular(hunger games, UHC, red stone abilities and multiplayer worlds)

  • @jacobwithey6398
    @jacobwithey6398 Год назад +3

    Mindcrack is the bridge of old-minecraft to new and skipping it is ignoring a massive part of the game. Etho, Guude, BdoubleO, Zissteau, Pause, etc. and in extension EVERY CTM map from Vechs moving into HermitCraft is honestly crazy to me. And I don't know how you cover Minecraft without even mentioning UHC. Minecraft didn't "die" the viewers were all on Mindcrack and saying it "died" feels kinda off to me TBH. a Part 2 is honestly a necessity for this. and @Caanths , if you want info this is my time.

    I hope there's a part 2 to this as a whole with a deeper dive into some parts of it. There's so much lore here that (understandably) has been cut out. From more of the Roleplay Let's Plays like Mr.Gibbs or HermitCraft (and MumboJumbo's redstone), to more organic events like TechnoBlade's potato War, or the large amount of SMP's there were (SMP Earth, SMP Live, etc.). There's probably so much even i'm forgetting now, and i don't know how well re-diving into a covered topic would do, but I do hope it gets covered.

  • @notarealperson701

    Minecraft on RUclips will always have a special place in my heart. Back in the day over a decade ago one of the biggest German Gaming RUclipsrs, Gronkh, had a Minecraft series with 1.6k episodes that had young me in a choke hold, and when that ended after a few years I started searching for other youtubers. This also coinceded with me getting better at English, so it ended up opening up this crazy world of the wider internet for me.

Those few months were some of my fondest memories in gaming, and I was so happy everyone was eventually able to appreciate it the way it deserved to be appreciated
