I like ore spawn, it’s a pity that few people remember this mod, although it had every chance to become a kind of “Calamity mod” for Minecraft, if this mod had a different developer.
for the time, this is a really good mod i alnost thought this was a modpack, but today, the lack of development make it looks outdated and far too chaotic. it fell of
OreSpawn to me is the quintessential mod for the "Why did I add this? Why _shouldn't_ have I added this?" era of Minecraft modding. Almost anything went back then, and it didn't matter about the quality or how 'vanilla' your mod was if it did something fun or unique. Other ones I think of are things like Trail Mix or the Pun mod, although those aren't as famous as OreSpawn ever was...
@@MykrasOtherStuff he beat the allegation in court turns out his ex was crazy although he did get arrested it was for streaking in a football field or something
This mod really was the pinnacle of Minecrafts "Fuck around and find out" era of modding. Anything went back then, and no one gave a shit on what you added as long as the mod worked. Sure, looking back at it, it's easy to see the major issues and inconsistencies, but that's because most mods today usually come with some form of step by step guide on how it functions, and they all follow some form of theme. Back then, you had to figure out everything by scratch, and form was nearly non-existent. Overpowered weapons and armor were the norm, and bullshit mobs with thousands of hit points were par for the course. Take a mod like Draconic Evolution. While it still exists today, back in it's prime it was FAR more OP than it is today. The Chaos Guardian and reactor was capable of killing even creative players, and the Chaos Crystal straight up collapsed the Chaos Island when it was broken. However, the modern day version, while still overpowered in it's own right, has been dulled down by quite a bit. The Chaos Guardian, reactor and crystal can't kill creative players anymore, and the island no longer implodes when the crystal is broken. Not only that, but the tools and weapons do less damage than they did back in the 1.7.10 and 1.12 versions, and have to have modules to even work. (For reference, a pre 1.20 Draconic sword did 40 Damage the second you made it without any upgrades, and had 10 mil in terms of RF storage. 1.20+ versions of the sword only do about 11-13 damage, and need you to craft an energy module to even be capable of working in the first place.)
@@fallenghost1760 not necessarily. it can be fun while fitting into the base game. mods are meant to be improvements after all, and most people want a fun experience rather than a nonsensical grind for overpowered stuff. If you want op stuff, there are hundreds of mods for that. Apotheosis, for example. People also grew up and understand what makes a good mod experience. a well-designed boss is more fun that a boss that just kills you instantly and has a bajillion hp.
hey cool comment and I don't want to sound disrespectful but Orespawn has it's own dedicated website and it had it's own dedicated website, made BY the mod creator, with tons of tips, tricks, guides, and crafting recipes
I remember I had a mod pack that had a few hundred mods on it and one of the things I remember is getting so op I could just tank one of them...yes I found out if you went over a few million health then even /kill dosnt kill you
0:02 popularmmos did a full playthrough of it. one of the best og Minecraft youtubers, so sucks that Pat and Jen broke up and they don't do Minecraft videos together anymore.
Yeah it sucks I grew up with but Jen has a nice family now, Pat is having fun with his friends and his new gf I hope for the best for him, I miss him but I just hope he’s doing fine.
popularMMOs is technically the predecessor of RLcraft with his epic proportions. although Orespawn is included, his modpack has way more content included in them
fun fact. that hammerhead room is in the unstable dimension at the start of the game. You can go there at any time and skip a LOT of progression with some cheesing.
@@MykrasOtherStuff true, it basically skips the whole mod. It's how I always played through the mod as a kid tho. Thought I was so clever. good video, btw! Your editing is really solid.

Here's a tips: For an even earlier and easier to get good weapon i recommend the rose sword: 2 poppy and a stick and you have a 10 damage sword in the first 30s in the game. If you what to mine then using 3 block of redstone 3 cactus and 3 gunpowder you can craft the miners dream. Fore repairing items we have Duct Tape, a cake like item what is crafted from 3 slime and 3 paper (or string i don't remember)
My favourite part of Crazy Craft is it seems to be the only modpack with MC Helicopter. A seriously underrated mod that needs to be updated. For anyone who doesn't know, it basically adds military helicopters and planes, including a remote control drone. But it also adds everything you need to build a proper battleship, from CIWS Phalanx, to massive 16 inch guns. And if memory serves correctly, the Phalanx would actually attack hostile mobs when you're not manually controlling it.

same situation but 3 years later ! the first two minutes made me want to try this modpack so bad, once I get over my exam week I'll forge some ores (got the joke?)
A lot of mods today are both fun and polished, and if you really look back at it, many of the old mods which are still well remembered are those that where decently polished and had a clear theme: Biomes o' Plenty, The Aether, Twilight Forest, Mr. Crayfish's mods, etc. Barely anyone talks about mods that only do things like add overpowered gear or a bunch of clones of vanilla features but more op. Although it is pretty nostalgic to see those old mods.
I vaguely remember playing Orespawn on my family's computer. When I went to fight any of the final bosses, like the King or Queen (I flew around the brown ant dimension until I found the trees that they defended... which I stealthed into early game to get Ultimate armor hehe), it literally lagged so much that it was like my game was time warped and I had to rely on the Big Bertha's (or Royal Guardian Sword's) length to not get killed. Whenever I found a max level challenge dungeon I was actually so happy, since the Prince and Princess were the first companions I came across who I could actually bring around with me without them dying instantly, I spent way too much time in the danger dimension looking for them. I was super hype when I found the Queen dungeon/Princess egg variant. I also remember fighting Mobzilla and being super scared that my Prince (or Princess) pet would die but they're some tanky lil guys. I had a similar experience playing Orespawn as I did playing Terraria or Calamity, the boss progression was unlike anything I had played before (our computer even lagged about the same during the SCal fight lol). It didn't have much of an OST though and it's a shame the mod died before it actually could take off. I mean, every big Minecraft TH-camr at the time was playing it (The Yogscast, SkyDoesMinecraft, SSundee, Crainer, PopularMMO's, DanTDM) but the mod itself just fell off. It really could have been among the greatest mods for any game ever, like Calamity is now, but the author goofed up unfortunately. Despite the completely overpowered mobs, the player was also totally overpowered if they found the correct preparation (most of the gameplay experience came down to running in, getting destroyed, and then looking around for better gear to grind for in NEI or JEI and watching a few TH-cam videos, since the wiki wasn't that detailed), and despite not having much knowledge of the progression, just exploring and finding which crazier things to build up to was really fun. Like, I remember going into the basilisk fight blind (pun intended) with early game gear - since dungeons aren't exclusive of your stage in the game - and getting completely wrecked. But then I came back later after going through the brown ant dimension and getting ultimate gear and immediately destroying it. It felt good, like, the opposite of Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy. I also vividly remember how amazed I was at the Crystal Dimension when that was added lol. I was so amazed that I ditched my gear and just lived in it for a bit.
The second i heard that elecrified sound effect at 12:59 i KNEW i was dealing with a man of culture! Camellia was definately not someone i'd expect to hear in a minecraft video! Nice one!
Ahh back when the mod devs had the mindset of “wow, I really shouldn’t add this sword to the game, it’s absolutely batshit insane how overpowered and unbalanced it is.” *”HOWEVER”*
this mod is simultaneously incredibly nostalgic and aged like milk. I've yet to see anything else accomplish both emotions at once so well. shame the mod developer fell down the conspiracy rabbit hole.
This is really bringing back memories for me. I remember Crazy Craft and Scramble Craft. They were the things that got me into Minecraft videos on TH-cam
Orespawn is pretty well balanced for me. It takes time to get all the ores and spawn eggs, the dragon pets and gf/bf's are top notch, the dungeons are very challenging but not impossible. The worms can be annoying though. Mantis claw is a good early game weapon, then ruby, then ultimate gear, you get to restart your journey in the crystal dimension before coming back with cool new stuff. The creature cages, instant base, instant bridges, and miner's delight are very useful. The Rat sword is fun. There's the bouncy house full of scorpions. The golden tree, enchanted golden apple cows. It's pretty nice when combined with Chocolate Quest, portal guns, hookshots, or a trimmed version of crazy craft. And making Big Bertha is a typically a long term goal. The king, queen, and mobzilla are the ultimate challenges.
Was going through a 2 week Minecraft phase last year and wanted some OP mods and I thought about Orespawn Stumbled onto the dev's website and oh boy what a rabbit hole surprise that was
My first exposure to orespawn was when i watched the creators of Crazy Craft, TheAtlanticCraft, playing their pack. Those are very fond memories for me nowadays. How time flies...
Doing this all In one video is crazy work this used to be a whole 100+ ep series on TH-cam with millions of views on each your the goat man much love for the dedication
I remember my favourite youtuber at the time playing this mod a lot among all sorts of other stuff that used to make me happy. Sadly seven years ago he went to a museum and never came back the same...
Isn't that always the case due to integer over/underflowing? Infinity+1 overflows to -Infinity or 0, while Infinity-1 gets to keep its value (as long as it's not _literally_ infinity, that just always returns either Infinity or NaN)

@@notme8232 It's not literal infinity. The infinity +1 sword is commonly attributed to a sword that is obscenely powerful, most likely the best of its respective source, but it takes a shit-ton of work to get your hands on it. The infinity -1 sword is the sword that is almost as catastrophic as the infinity +1 sword while requiring far less work. Big Bertha, Orespawn's Infinity +1 Sword, is weaker than The Royal Guardian, Orespawn's Infinity -1 Sword. That's what I meant. That Orespawn, in its perfectly balanced way, made the blade you spend a good portion of time going after, is weaker than a blade you can just cheese your way into obtaining.
man great video, cant believe it took me almost 10 years to learn orespawn got dicontuniued because of this "incident" eventually I'm gonna play this again and I cant wait
This mod was my childhood, everybody played it, the videos of it were everywhere, it was peak modding back in the day. I miss it. And I hate the fact I forgot about it.
Man I really miss when old mods were just fun additions for minecraft with no standards or care for balancing. Nowadays people criticize mods for being “unbalanced and ruins the gameplay experience” whenever they see a mod that changes the gameplay in any small way whatsoever.
Orespawn and the original Pixelmon(shoutout if you remember GhostWolf) are emblematic in my memory of the golden days of Minecraft mods. Some people will say it’s Tekkit or Create, but for me that 1.6.4-1.8.9 era was something else.
Imma be honest, brutalfly (and caterkiller by proxy) was and is always gonna be my favorite boss of the mod, despite it just being a reskin of mothra, I don’t care the name is just so corny it’s good, plus the colors I like
I originally wasn't gonna subscribe, but after I saw THAT subscriber ratio, and then looked at your views/subscriber ratio, kinda felt like an obligation. Man actually has a 1% subscriber ratio.
@MykrasOtherStuff In that case, not much. Mostly mod reviews and stuff. I do recall one where the guy just keeps dying every time he tries to progress, but that's an old one. I enjoyed the video tho, maybe a bit too fast-paced imo but still enjoyed it nonetheless.
Yeah, honestly I never saw the appeal of this mod. It’s so random and all over the place and has absolutely no regards for balance. It’s just big numbers that end up being meaningless. It wants to be interesting so bad that it loops back to being, well… boring. But you guys managed to make it entertaining(and the editing is top notch) so good vid overall ;)
Its unbalanced at the start, but once you get to the major bosses the, it feel pretty balanced. But i do agree, the dungeons are so unbalanced, but the current developer of chaos awakens are fixing balancing issues.
Having played it myself, the mod is actually well balanced. Like, yeah, there's cheese you can do, but there being a 500 damage sword doesn't matter when it is a required part of progression. Collecting the materials to get it is also fun. All of the bosses have unique ways to fight them, and there are creative ways to do everything. The only problem with the mod is the queen. Her true damage balls basically just require you to die a bunch because you can't counter them. Genuinely, I can't name any other problems with the mod. I think it's better when you include morph mod for flying, but you can do everything without it.
I actually remember when OreSpawn had a pretty solid progression path (pre-King days when the ultimate armor was the best you could get), but as the mod grew it kept introducing ways to skip all the content it was providing, like the dungeons that had King drops, and then it went full stupid when they also added the dungeon that had Queen drops.
Why did i think the thumbnail was a frame of modern composite armour being penetrated by a dart? My eyes may need to be checked and my brain cleansed of warthunder
This was my favorite mod when I was a kid. Had the author had a little bit more faith in Microsoft and not gone wacko mode over nothing, it easily could've still been one of the top rated mods to this day with updates and optimization ofc.
Orespawn is the story of a man who made a mod that could of been #1 in all of modding but fell off like crazy because the developer was actually insane It's sad to see really, it could of been something amazing but no other mod ever really took it's place since the golden era of minecraft is long over
This one used to be my favorite mod, but after I discovered Advent of Ascension, who have better content, more balanced stuff, uniques dimension with their one rule...let's say I never touched OreSpawn again (and I was not going to play both at the same time because I know how damn the 500 damage sword is ridiculous) Years after, I learnt what the creator did... I was really not surprised
Big Bertha is honestly fine, as you only get it once you're basically already done, it's just that the rest of the game is so atrociously balanced that BB becomes an easy target IMO
Moral of the story: We don't talk about mod author
We really shouldn't talk about that guy

There's the bouncy house full of scorpions.
The golden tree, enchanted golden apple cows.
It's pretty nice when combined with Chocolate Quest, portal guns, hookshots, or a trimmed version of crazy craft.
And making Big Bertha is a typically a long term goal.
The king, queen, and mobzilla are the ultimate challenges.
i might try regular crazy craft some time
@@MykrasOtherStuff Cool. 1.7.10 is great, you can run mods from 1.7 to 1.8 on it.

Was going through a 2 week Minecraft phase last year and wanted some OP mods and I thought about Orespawn
Stumbled onto the dev's website and oh boy what a rabbit hole surprise that was
The creator of this mod being potentially schizophrenic checks outa looking back at it
What a quaint little mod, I sure hope the mod author hasn’t gone off the deep end of internet sanity :)
NAHHHHHH GITGUD DOING AN ORESPAWN VIDEO?? Now that's what I call perfectly balanced😂
Y’all have great chemistry. Love the comedic timing
My first exposure to orespawn was when i watched the creators of Crazy Craft, TheAtlanticCraft, playing their pack.
Those are very fond memories for me nowadays.
How time flies...
I loved theAtlanticcraft
Doing this all In one video is crazy work this used to be a whole 100+ ep series on TH-cam with millions of views on each your the goat man much love for the dedication
@@ChancerDaCancer it took like 5 hours bro
I just watched 0:24 of the video, and I'm gonna say this: Yes, I actually saw someone playing a full playthrough. 2 different persons, actually.
I remember my favourite youtuber at the time playing this mod a lot among all sorts of other stuff that used to make me happy. Sadly seven years ago he went to a museum and never came back the same...
That 2:37 scared me so hard I accidentally pressed the subscribe button
Another perfectly balanced masterpiece
4:30 crab champions ost lets goooo
God Crazy Craft and that one music video quite literally molded my childhood. I don’t think I’d be who I am 10 years later without it existing
@@musicalicarus7322 exactly dude
True legends remember when Stampy, Ibalisticsquid and AshDubh played crazycraft
@pastaman7278 i was only watch popularmmos and dantdm around then sorry 😔
yeah... nostalgia
"Spawn Nightmare"
*proceeds to get an ad*
Very accurate.
That intro is peak nostalgia 😭
Reminds me of the old gamer intros
"I wish for a calamity mod for minecraft"
**the monkey paw curls, giving it the worst developer possible**
Brought me back to the days watching dan and thinknoodles' "crazycraft" series
Oh man, orespawn, what a nostalgia trip
5:10 “my gay fella” what
The friend being so impressed and happy with everything was so wholesome
Rip dried ancient boyfriend
I'd like to comment on the video, but your music choices are incredible (looking at Creo, Noisestorm and Camellia)
vanilla minecraft: 😐
this minecraft: 😎🥶🥵🌶🔥💯🗣
gitgud sounded like itadori from middle east
really wasn't expecting gitgudwo to be here
Orespawn. The one place where the Infinity +1 Sword is weaker than the Infinity -1 Sword.
Isn't that always the case due to integer over/underflowing? Infinity+1 overflows to -Infinity or 0, while Infinity-1 gets to keep its value (as long as it's not _literally_ infinity, that just always returns either Infinity or NaN)

@@krlllx Bro, did you legit just copy-paste my comment?
@@notme8232 It's not literal infinity. The infinity +1 sword is commonly attributed to a sword that is obscenely powerful, most likely the best of its respective source, but it takes a shit-ton of work to get your hands on it. The infinity -1 sword is the sword that is almost as catastrophic as the infinity +1 sword while requiring far less work. Big Bertha, Orespawn's Infinity +1 Sword, is weaker than The Royal Guardian, Orespawn's Infinity -1 Sword. That's what I meant. That Orespawn, in its perfectly balanced way, made the blade you spend a good portion of time going after, is weaker than a blade you can just cheese your way into obtaining.
I REMEMBER THIS
Watched a Sundee playthrough, never realized how ridiculous it was back when I was a kid
that camellia jumpscare at 13:00 lol
I didn't expected at all lmao
That surprised me
man great video, cant believe it took me almost 10 years to learn orespawn got dicontuniued because of this "incident" eventually I'm gonna play this again and I cant wait
12:39 i didn't know gitgudwo is a furry
"I can craft an Emerald Pickaxe!"
Haha that's so funny because- wait WHAT!?
"They took my axe!"
"They took my sword!"
"They burnt my shake!"
This mod was my childhood, everybody played it, the videos of it were everywhere, it was peak modding back in the day. I miss it. And I hate the fact I forgot about it.
Man I really miss when old mods were just fun additions for minecraft with no standards or care for balancing. Nowadays people criticize mods for being “unbalanced and ruins the gameplay experience” whenever they see a mod that changes the gameplay in any small way whatsoever.
Orespawn and the original Pixelmon(shoutout if you remember GhostWolf) are emblematic in my memory of the golden days of Minecraft mods. Some people will say it’s Tekkit or Create, but for me that 1.6.4-1.8.9 era was something else.
Imma be honest, brutalfly (and caterkiller by proxy) was and is always gonna be my favorite boss of the mod, despite it just being a reskin of mothra, I don’t care the name is just so corny it’s good, plus the colors I like
I originally wasn't gonna subscribe, but after I saw THAT subscriber ratio, and then looked at your views/subscriber ratio, kinda felt like an obligation.
Man actually has a 1% subscriber ratio.

@@MykrasOtherStuff Tbf what’s where if found these guys too so I should’ve guessed
@@MykrasOtherStuff elfire maybe?
also camellia
"But have you ever seen anyone do a full playthrough of it?"
Crazycraft series back in the day:
i meant JUST orespawn, its an entirely different experience
@MykrasOtherStuff In that case, not much. Mostly mod reviews and stuff. I do recall one where the guy just keeps dying every time he tries to progress, but that's an old one.
I enjoyed the video tho, maybe a bit too fast-paced imo but still enjoyed it nonetheless.
From the big old content mods you could play is the "advent of ascension mod" aka nevermine, haven't seen many people finish it
Lmao i did NOT expect to see GitHud here, thought he just made calamity mod “perfectly balanced” shotposts
12:37 Earned my rspect
GET OUT- 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Calamity man jumpscare in the first minute of the video.
Yeah, honestly I never saw the appeal of this mod. It’s so random and all over the place and has absolutely no regards for balance. It’s just big numbers that end up being meaningless. It wants to be interesting so bad that it loops back to being, well… boring.
But you guys managed to make it entertaining(and the editing is top notch) so good vid overall ;)
The new version of chaos awakens is so far much more balanced but it’s also unfinished
Well you are boring lol
@@mechamedegeorge6786 idk fam, "big numbers, I oneshot everything haha" isn't the most riveting gameplay concept in my opinion...
@@bastienfelix4605when you have the best sword in the game ofc ur gonna one shot weak mobs, what’s your point?
Its unbalanced at the start, but once you get to the major bosses the, it feel pretty balanced.
But i do agree, the dungeons are so unbalanced, but the current developer of chaos awakens are fixing balancing issues.
Man, I miss how popular back then was this mod. So much nostalgia...
To this day, it's my favourite Minecraft mod!
Pause at 1:55 ... Creatieve mode, really? (At least turn off the Command output gamerule)
it was just a stack of torches bro
@@MykrasOtherStuffmake sense since coal mining is hard
@@Pain-uu3jqIt really is, coal is super difficult to find. Its not like you can find it on the surface or something.
Oh shit crab champions music used? Hell yeah! That caught my attention, and the vid quality was really nice, ill defo be sticking around, keep it up!
Having played it myself, the mod is actually well balanced. Like, yeah, there's cheese you can do, but there being a 500 damage sword doesn't matter when it is a required part of progression. Collecting the materials to get it is also fun. All of the bosses have unique ways to fight them, and there are creative ways to do everything. The only problem with the mod is the queen. Her true damage balls basically just require you to die a bunch because you can't counter them.
Genuinely, I can't name any other problems with the mod. I think it's better when you include morph mod for flying, but you can do everything without it.
0:45 I wanted to comment "What if you just dug under" and then saw you dig under. Neat
I actually remember when OreSpawn had a pretty solid progression path (pre-King days when the ultimate armor was the best you could get), but as the mod grew it kept introducing ways to skip all the content it was providing, like the dungeons that had King drops, and then it went full stupid when they also added the dungeon that had Queen drops.
Did not think I'd ever see someone post a guide to a mod after it's been around for like 20 years
I saw the first 20 seconds and immediately subbed
The old-school. Intro just sent shokewaves or nostalgia through my body
Why did i think the thumbnail was a frame of modern composite armour being penetrated by a dart? My eyes may need to be checked and my brain cleansed of warthunder
Its a shame that this genuinely fun and nostalgic mod had such a lunatic of a creator.
There is no way this video has 180.000 views but you got only 8000 subscribers, this is diabolical you deserve better
I got an ad when you clicked the red ant💀
I don't like mods, but you had so much fun, i give it an well earned upvote👍
What in the underrated did I just watch
Fun fact: the modder made a "sequel" that uses it's own engine, called "Danger Zone"
It's somehow even jankier
The most perfectly balanced play through
This was my favorite mod when I was a kid. Had the author had a little bit more faith in Microsoft and not gone wacko mode over nothing, it easily could've still been one of the top rated mods to this day with updates and optimization ofc.
Orespawn is the story of a man who made a mod that could of been #1 in all of modding but fell off like crazy because the developer was actually insane
It's sad to see really, it could of been something amazing but no other mod ever really took it's place since the golden era of minecraft is long over
Twilight Forest, my belovded
Creo music in the intro! Subbing for that
Bacon being OP is fr a product of its time
Seeing GitgudWO on another channel was neat, love his terraria videos
This one used to be my favorite mod, but after I discovered Advent of Ascension, who have better content, more balanced stuff, uniques dimension with their one rule...let's say I never touched OreSpawn again (and I was not going to play both at the same time because I know how damn the 500 damage sword is ridiculous)
Years after, I learnt what the creator did... I was really not surprised
Big Bertha is honestly fine, as you only get it once you're basically already done, it's just that the rest of the game is so atrociously balanced that BB becomes an easy target IMO
