Just came here after watching your "Retiring" vlog. I'm happy that you're going back to the roots for the last time and doing a Lets Play with no mods. Thank you for this!
@@SamyasaSwi I am, but unfortunately it's just too much of a time investment for me to watch anymore what with school rn or work at other times and all, don't have the time to watch multi-40-minute-episodes-series these days so I can't actually watch. :( But I definitely love them much more as content than whatever the current content meta is, and if I could have all the time in the world to watch you bet I would.
Just a little fun fact. Vanilla is the second most expensive spice in the world. That is because every single bean needs to be pollinated BY HAND! The vanilla plant is native to Mexico and it’s only natural pollinators were a bee that are now thought to be extinct. The pollination process includes a very small window and requires a fair bit of precision. This makes it very difficult to be accomplished by machine and at such a large scale. So it’s all humans. Thank you for listening to my TED talk. (This was my Senior design project to get my bachelors so I’m very interested in this)
I always hate when people use the term vanilla to call something plain/basic. National Geographic calls it "a stunningly complex and subtle spice" hardly plain.
@@samuelphilips6091 i think its very obvious that people say that because of vanilla flavored ice cream, not because of the complexity of the spice. most ice cream flavors are just random stuff thrown into vanilla ice cream. It makes perfect sense that vanilla would be used to describe something when its simple and palatable to nearly everyone, or the describe something in its natural or original state. It's hardly ever used in a negative way. I just ate a bowl of vanilla ice cream btw (literally right before i finished watching this video) and i really enjoyed it. If "simple" has a negative connotation, you assigned it that in your own head. In any case, it certainly is no reason to "hate" someone for saying.
And the reason the flavour of vanilla is so ubiquitous despite the cost is because its main flavour compound (vanillin) is extremely simple. Of course, pure vanillin compared to actually vanilla bean is completely different but that does not matter in most things.
@@mattyicee Sad. I mean sure, I don't actually fully watch the episodic series style Minecraft content anymore, but that's just because I literally can't, I'm too busy with school and all. If I had all the time for it I would watch the heck out of these, I definitely love them much more than the other kinds of content which I don't even watch either (except the og Manhunt series, say what you will about Dream himself but that series was fun to watch), and really wish this was still the norm.
been watching every survival series since the OG skyblock series, then the vanilla survival with jerry’s tree that became a handful of series going from one to another, also watched all of mianite. long long time watcher my man and now over a decade later i’m in my mid 20s and i’ll be honest i don’t watch as much as i used to, but it’s still pretty crazy to see you going strong. you played an incredible part in my childhood, so every once in a while i just like to come back and say thank you
Man I remember that massive jungle tree (Jerry’s tree) it was right when jungles got added so like 1.2 or 1.3. Damn that’s like the first let’s play series I watched after Yogscast and paulsoaresjr
It was strange watching a normal video instead of the lives he usually does on cap2, but it was really nice seeing speed up building scenes and stuff like that. Very relaxing stuff.👍
Cap, I first watched your channel during the let's play with the big treehouse and Jerry the Slime. This playthrough is like a special throwback to me. Thank you!
I remember in that play through i was trying to imagin what jordon looked like before he revealed himself, I rmember I thought brown eyes and brown hair, with a soft face. When I saw him for the first time I was shocked that he was "cuter" than I imagined LOL
I have been watching since season 1 of your original solo Minecraft survival lets play all the way back in 2012, by my count this is season 15 and i have seen every episode of every one. Thank you for all the memories captain, and if this is the true Final Lets Play than i just wanna say thank you for over a decade of amazing lets plays, and i will always watch your content whatever it is (even though i will miss the episodic content).
I know episodic series are not doing as well as they once did, but I would so love a story-driven, roleplay episodic series, I would watch the heck out of that. I feel like it's a bit of an unexplored territory on Jordan's channels (he only did a few over the span of 13 years) and it has a lot of potential. The main problem is that the series often ended abruptly and weren't finished naturally, but it can be done, you need a reliable group of people who wouldn't abandon it.
In his latest video, he said he doesn't want to go into super kid-oriented roleplay content, I just wanted to clarify it's not what I meant. It doesn't have to be kid-oriented, like most of Mianite wasn't, or like a story-driven game doesn't have to be for kids. Imo, it would be much better if it was far from a kids show style. But taking his last decision into account, maybe this, even in a not kid-oriented form, is not something he would like to do for the time being, and I'll have to respect that.
I appreciate you doing a final send-off series as a watcher since the very first survival series. It's been a lot of wonderful years with Minecraft but I very much understand and emphasize with your wish to move on with your content. That being said, super stoked for whatever videos you come up with in the future! 🎉❤
This reminds me of Cap's first Minecraft world that is described in the Essential Handbook to Minecraft, where he looked for a cool generation to make a base in as one of his biggest priorities
I love the idea for the ravine caves being connected and those copper bulbs work out perfectly for you since you could use them to turn the spawner on and off for when you want to grind xp this is going to be a great and practical build for this play through perfect location too can't wait to see more
My dad watched your videos and he introduced me to your channel and ever since you've been one of my favorite minecraft youtubers he recently passed away last year and Im still watching your videos
Been watching Jordan since I was 9 years old and I’m now 21. Crazy to be watching the final let’s play. (I’m aware I’m a little late to comment but such is life)
Been here since the original survival lets play. I don't play MC anymore, but I still watch your stuff just because it's you making it. One last ride Jordan, lets do this. Then on to whatever comes next for the channel.
pro tip cap'n, i've noticed diamonds tend to generate differently ever since 1.20, and when i dig out a few extra blocks i usually find another ore that was connected on the diagonal
@@Doolaidmanthis is caused by the exposure rule being different. sometimes the ore gen bugs out with that rule so it moves the ore around in different ways to split the vein
20:10 I have come with the Minecraft knowledge regarding diamond generation. Yes, diamond generation was adjusted in version 1.20.2, but that version also fixed the bug where you can only infect and cure a villager ONCE and can never do it again in order to lower the prices of villager trades. Also, new Minecraft All Advancement series WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Man this reminds me of watching your old series of hardcore from 2015. First minecraft survival video ive watched in ages. Glad I get to witness this coming out live. Thanks for your years of MC content captain!
I’ve watched your early series but haven’t been a frequent watcher for years, even though I stayed subscribed. Im looking forward to this final series though!
Hey Cap, I got into Minecraft after watching your let's play long ago and this brought back so much of the nice memories of your Minecraft legacy! I don't play MC much or games in general these days but man re-watching you do make me feel like it!
been watching for 10 plus years and still love everything about all the content , your personality, and every amazing time. incredible moments indeed, but i just came to say thanks for everything you've done and i look forward to watching this series alongside my own gaming sesh
You got a good idea for the base, one thing i might recommend however is definitely in the future adding some greenery to the base and maybe when you connect up the 2 holes if you need more space then adding holes of your own and also making a way to get on top to utilize as much space as possible even if its not all needed, sometimes wasted space thats decorated well can take a build from being boring to being amazing, the copper looks good as an accent block and the tuff looks nice too but i do think more color will be needed in the floor or ceiling or wall or wherever you can fit it really, cuz rn even with the highlight it looks nice but also very monochrome, idk just some thoughts
After watching the "Retiring" video. If possible, it would be really cool to put Jerry's Tree into this world and use that as your base again. As this series is an end of an era it seems very fitting. P.s. You can add a tough brick basement if you REALLY gotta live that underground base life XD
I miss the old episodic stuff so much. I found your channel in the old custom maps days before the legendary Lets play that started the legend of Jerry the slime!!! I remember waiting for the next episode to come out being so excited to see what happens next!
Wow. I remember watching you in 2009 -2010. How the time has flown. I may not watch as many of your videos as I used to but they will always have a place in my heart for their role in my childhood. Much luck to you
Grew up watching Jardon playing good ol' vanilla minecraft. I have not watched one of his videos in years honestly, but when I saw this back to basics video, I am all in! This is the content we want! Bring us back to the good ol' days!
The diamond changes are present here, that was a part of 1.20.2 snapshots. Updating to new versions should work despite the experimentations being moved to a datapack. Fabric does exist for the snapshots, and sodium and iris are often updated within a day of new snapshots being released, you may need to enable beta/snapshot downloads in whatever lunacher you are using to see them.
Been here straight up since the beginning. Glad you are doing one last minecraft hurrah on here. End of one hell of an era. Look forward to the next one
Ive beeen watching for years. This will be bittersweet to watch, as i have been watching since your modded playthroughs, mianite and troll island. I salute you captain🫡🫡
Ultra nodded Minecraft will forever be my favorite series you did. I remember coming back from middle school and hoping for an upload of that and Trials Fusion, and watching them after dinner in my hot ass apartment at night
I think the main reason why gamma modding is gone is to make the Deep Dark actually scary and well… dark. I also still wish it was an option for everyone, but it makes sense for why it’s gone.
Super hyped for a new series! I have to wait until after work to watch, so I am going to let it play minimized first so the algorithim is properly affected by my interest lol
i've always loved the episodic content (and everything else you upload) on the main channel, where you talk to us directly and i can feel your excitement. your second channel is probably my most-watched channel on youtube, but it's just not the same experience :'). i really hope that you'll reconsider your decision in the future! much love :)
I've somehow completely missed the 1.21 snapshots up until this point, so this is very exciting seeing the new tuff blocks and the trial chamber!! This is going to be a fun series
I found you while watching Mianite (one of Tom's streams) and recognized the name so after the stream I went to see if I could find it from your perspective. Low and behold I had come across what would be my main source of entertainment for years to come. I started watching one of the modded survival series and was hooked. So when season 2 of Mianite came out and had mods I knew I had to watch from your perspective and it definitely was the right choice (can't stop thinking of the Nvidia sword arc now). The amount of joy I got from watching you progress and trying to follow along with some of the later modpacks with xeen. The adventure maps that I had no idea existed that allowed me to travel through a new world with you. The great laughs from The Building Games that I still have to go back and watch from time to time. You not only helped me through rough times but made the good ones great. I still proudly wear my CS blue and teal graffiti shirt and I may not follow the content anymore but ill always be a forking fan. Although you probably wont see this, I know others can relate and will get their own flood of memories, Thanks for all the series Cap!
Looking back to when Jerry’s tree was first found, even before we knew the tree would bare tribute to our favorite slime. Thank you Captain for the memories of let’s play style Minecraft series. You’re amazing. Can’t wait to see you continue to grow!
Been a while since I sat down and watched a good ol’ Minecraft let’s play. If I was gonna watch one, it may as well be the last let’s play from one of my favorite childhood creators :)
It's awesome to see you return to Vanilla Survival one last time, thank you! Sadly, most others have moved on to '100 days' or 'SMP server' compilation videos and I miss the unpredictable, long-form story that a vanilla survival series can create.
Oooh i like episodic things especially at this length. I like the streamed ones too but i dont have as much time to watch them so the length is perfect i would say.
After today's video, this will be a very bitterweet series to watch. I fell off your content hard when you stopped doing episodic MC series, and have been hoping for years now that you'd eventually go back to what made your channel so big in the first place. For anyone interested in more episodic MC content like this, Pythonator is a smallish channel that exclusively uploads this type of content and deserves way more views than he gets!
I definitely think you should try basically everything in this world. You could work on building a nice large house with all the new blocks, maybe try some of the villager farms and stuff, beat all the bosses, just fully complete the game in its entirety.
Year 12 of watching captain sparkles and I can say that when I said back then "your gonna go far on this platform" I never expected just how far you would really go❤
I may not have watched Cap until later in his career, but it's still been a good time watching him play minecraft. And it may just be going onto the backburner, but I'll be watching every episode of this
YOU'RE RIGHT! vanilla beans are one of the most expensive spices in its pure form 2nd place only to saffron, vanilla beans are so expensive for 2 main reasons, 1, vanilla is only cultivated in 3 places, Mexico(/southern texas), Hawaii and, Madagascar, and 2, the vanilla bean plant needs to be pollinated by hand, so when you buy vanilla beans you are paying more labor costs than you would when buying blueberries or something else, and your paying extra because it only grows in few places!
I think the earliest CaptainSparklez Vanilla like LP he has done have to be when he had Jerry The Slime and the giant tree. Glad to see him doing this one last time!
So many of my viewers have expressed gratitude in finding a new episodic content creator! It’s definitely not quite as instantly popular as the challenges, but I grew up with Captainsparklez and Ihascupquake and love the episodic content! It lets personality shine through more and isn’t as “meme-y”.
Crazy to think I’ve watched you for over 10 years now, and here I am checking back in. Glad you’re still doing well you never had any beefs or got caught into any weird allegations man keep it up a real RUclips legend
Use to watch a ton of sparkles as a kid/teen. I’m now 25 and I’ve came back for the last hurrah, missed you old friend.
Same
same i remember og sky block w nfen and sparklez throwback to them days before bills and taxes
same dude, weird
same, also 25 lol
This is my 11th year of watching a captainsparklez series and I couldn’t be happier lol. I’m 21 and this chill ass dude is still my favorite RUclipsr.
Literally same, im 21, in uni, having a gf, a job, and im still over here enjoying watching captain minecraft series 😂
Same, gonna be 22 next month. No gf tho but it’s okay I have the captain
lol I’ve been watching him since his first survival series I think I was 10 now I’m 22
Only OGs knows Jerry’s tree. And divine RPG, ultra modded survival series
@@jasonbravoperez498 Jerry is older now than I was when Jerry was found. Wild
If this is it ... There must be a Jerry Tree and a Grave for the Cows from Ep1
Don't forget that one series in the jungle biome were we remember the pigs.
He still plays minecraft on his channel captainsparklez 2 just not edited vods from his livestreams
Never forget!
REMEMBER THE COWS
Don't forget about minesheep
Just came here after watching your "Retiring" vlog. I'm happy that you're going back to the roots for the last time and doing a Lets Play with no mods. Thank you for this!
Same, and I'm just as pleased he is doing this. :) I'm curious to see where it will go.
I'm way more interested in episodic content than anything else I'll be dead honest with you Jardon
Me too but apparently many people aren't
He works off statistics of what gets the most views, so apparently you are in the minority.
Some of the best shorts come from episodic series and while I may not watch all episodes as they come out i do get around to watching most of it later
@@SamyasaSwiit’s funny to me because there are people like you guys who love his series on his main channel but most don’t even watch it
@@SamyasaSwi I am, but unfortunately it's just too much of a time investment for me to watch anymore what with school rn or work at other times and all, don't have the time to watch multi-40-minute-episodes-series these days so I can't actually watch. :( But I definitely love them much more as content than whatever the current content meta is, and if I could have all the time in the world to watch you bet I would.
Just a little fun fact. Vanilla is the second most expensive spice in the world. That is because every single bean needs to be pollinated BY HAND! The vanilla plant is native to Mexico and it’s only natural pollinators were a bee that are now thought to be extinct. The pollination process includes a very small window and requires a fair bit of precision. This makes it very difficult to be accomplished by machine and at such a large scale. So it’s all humans.
Thank you for listening to my TED talk. (This was my Senior design project to get my bachelors so I’m very interested in this)
I always hate when people use the term vanilla to call something plain/basic. National Geographic calls it "a stunningly complex and subtle spice" hardly plain.
@@samuelphilips6091 i think its very obvious that people say that because of vanilla flavored ice cream, not because of the complexity of the spice. most ice cream flavors are just random stuff thrown into vanilla ice cream.

Episodic minecraft content mustn't disappear from the space, so tired of all these edited 100 days and other weird Mr.Beast type challenges
Agree, I'm here for the story. I wish adventure maps would come back.
@@meachyofficial Yeah, one of my favorite adventure map series by sparkles was The Code which he played with a friend, all felt so organic back then
Me too, but according to the views, we are in the minority.

When you get to episode 3, keep a look out for creepers, we all remember the last incident
Good memory my friend. LOL
10 years of listening to Jardon justify his underground house 😂
It’s the best way just gotta hollow it out lmao
@JacksonOrSomething Old running joke. His name’s Jordan. If you watched Captainsparklez in the early 2010’s you’d know
Lets do this cap, in here for some more episodic content! ❤
This reminds me of Cap's first Minecraft world that is described in the Essential Handbook to Minecraft, where he looked for a cool generation to make a base in as one of his biggest priorities

Happy to see more episodic content! I like the idea of these cave bases being like those Amethyst geode things protruding from the stone wall.
Great first episode. Enjoyed watching this. Also the location for your base looks fantastic so I'm happy you're building base there
These are my favorite videos you make

The great laughs from The Building Games that I still have to go back and watch from time to time. You not only helped me through rough times but made the good ones great. I still proudly wear my CS blue and teal graffiti shirt and I may not follow the content anymore but ill always be a forking fan. Although you probably wont see this, I know others can relate and will get their own flood of memories, Thanks for all the series Cap!
You seem so much brighter these days :D Also, I am really looking forward to this series 😎
look at his next vid
@@YoshiClapz I am incredibly happy for and proud of him
Love you sparklez, thanks for your videos over the years
my heart dropped when i saw the retirement video ;; im glad this is back bc i love wtching your content! ive watched through all of them
Really digging this first episode! I think this is a perfect final Minecraft survival series for the channel :)
Keep these series going Captain! Love to watch these videos!
Looking back to when Jerry’s tree was first found, even before we knew the tree would bare tribute to our favorite slime. Thank you Captain for the memories of let’s play style Minecraft series. You’re amazing. Can’t wait to see you continue to grow!
Lets go another series! The darkness of the underground without torches gives me headaches but we suffer through
Been a while since I sat down and watched a good ol’ Minecraft let’s play. If I was gonna watch one, it may as well be the last let’s play from one of my favorite childhood creators :)
I have never been upset at an episodic series
After 12 years of watching Jordan, I’m glad you never changed, always humble and great! One of the best OG Minecraft RUclipsrs
It's awesome to see you return to Vanilla Survival one last time, thank you! Sadly, most others have moved on to '100 days' or 'SMP server' compilation videos and I miss the unpredictable, long-form story that a vanilla survival series can create.
This is gonna be fun!! Also that little hill going down to the pool would be a cool place for a terrace farm-
i forgot how wholesome you were. havent watched your stuff in a while!
Oooh i like episodic things especially at this length. I like the streamed ones too but i dont have as much time to watch them so the length is perfect i would say.
Love the final series idea! Love that it’s in vanilla! Sad that it’s the end of an era but will definitely enjoy this series while we have it!
I haven’t watched your Minecraft content in years but I am coming back for the send off! Love you brother!
After today's video, this will be a very bitterweet series to watch. I fell off your content hard when you stopped doing episodic MC series, and have been hoping for years now that you'd eventually go back to what made your channel so big in the first place.
For anyone interested in more episodic MC content like this, Pythonator is a smallish channel that exclusively uploads this type of content and deserves way more views than he gets!
I did also want to comment, the top of the chiseled tuff block makes for a really cool floor design if used properly.
I definitely think you should try basically everything in this world. You could work on building a nice large house with all the new blocks, maybe try some of the villager farms and stuff, beat all the bosses, just fully complete the game in its entirety.
13 years... Wow it's been a while sparklez, how nostalgic, you were my childhood man
I haven't watched one of the let's plays in years but think I will tune in for this last time ;_;
Year 12 of watching captain sparkles and I can say that when I said back then "your gonna go far on this platform" I never expected just how far you would really go❤
You know what im going to watch the full series. When they come out.
Rebirth of Captian classic. Eager to see where this goes.
I may not have watched Cap until later in his career, but it's still been a good time watching him play minecraft. And it may just be going onto the backburner, but I'll be watching every episode of this
YOU'RE RIGHT! vanilla beans are one of the most expensive spices in its pure form 2nd place only to saffron, vanilla beans are so expensive for 2 main reasons, 1, vanilla is only cultivated in 3 places, Mexico(/southern texas), Hawaii and, Madagascar, and 2, the vanilla bean plant needs to be pollinated by hand, so when you buy vanilla beans you are paying more labor costs than you would when buying blueberries or something else, and your paying extra because it only grows in few places!
This is exactly what I needed today, thanks captain😎
A good old captainsparklez vanilla series can't wait for episode 2
I think the earliest CaptainSparklez Vanilla like LP he has done have to be when he had Jerry The Slime and the giant tree. Glad to see him doing this one last time!
Haven't watched him in YEARS, so glad to hear episode 3 is still tracking
I’m excited for this series!
one of the first series i watched was the modded series with that huge treehouse and pet slime i loved that
So many of my viewers have expressed gratitude in finding a new episodic content creator! It’s definitely not quite as instantly popular as the challenges, but I grew up with Captainsparklez and Ihascupquake and love the episodic content! It lets personality shine through more and isn’t as “meme-y”.
remember the cows remember the fish
Ik im Late to the series but excited to start watching this. I have been watching since take back the night and am super excited to watch this!
Wow, I can't believe how long I've been watching you. The first video/series of yours I remember watching was the Portal map
This is perfect! The perfect balance between overground an underground base xd
Crazy to think I’ve watched you for over 10 years now, and here I am checking back in. Glad you’re still doing well you never had any beefs or got caught into any weird allegations man keep it up a real RUclips legend
I remember watching your minecraft gameplays in 240p when youtube still looked like a TV. I'm 22 now. What a journey!
