- Why do people LOVE Minecraft? There's more to it than you think.
Well, it’s time to answer that question the best way I know how: by making a MEGA Minecraft build. Obviously.

This is (hopefully) the start of an ongoing series on this channel.
Sorry that it took so long for this one to come out, I taught myself the basics of animating for this video, and it kinda overtook my life for a couple weeks. I’m building towards a video every month, and I appreciate everybody’s patience.

What an unbelieveable video. Seriously, your ability to tie Minecraft builds into real life and a have moral is just astonishing!
P.S.
Is there somewhere I can read the book sounds genuinly interesting.
Thanks Wunba! This was a tricky video to write for sure… the build was the easy part!
And the book isn’t published yet (it’s a bit of a mess), but I’d send it your way if you wanted to peruse it
@@shovel241 When is it gonna be published? I am a huge fan of fantasy books and it sounds genuinly cool
@@shovel241 One day being able to read your book sounds amazing!
It is the most interesting idea I've herd in a while.
@@shovel241 I don't like to read but this book is a total exception I am amazed by the concept and the hole story by it self .
I couldn't figure out why this video only has 23k views this should be blowing up , at least it at the potential to do so.
Keep your amazing work !!
Omg please bro! I would love to read it!
Dude, could you make a part 2? This was genuinely one of the best videos I've seen in forever. Everything about it was great!! I hope your channel gets big so you can have the funds to continue to do this! Inspirational
I’ve already started :)
@@shovel241 yippe
@shovel241 I'm pretty sure this is the first video I've watched of you. And, I have to say your edit style makes it 1000x more entertaining.
part 2 is out
perfect number of likes ;:)
We love Minecraft because of youtubers like shovel!
Whoa 73 Likes
@@enderemp you might want to recheck that...
Yo bros right
If you ever have the time for it, please consider finishing that book. It truly sounds amazing and I’d love to read it. If not you could maybe do some kind of a in depth lore video when you finish the whole world. Something along the lines of the part you fast forwarded haha. But no matter what, just keep on doing what you love my man. It is truly heartwarming and simultaneously mesmerizing to see the passion you have for what you’re doing right now.
Yess. I would love to read it as well, it sounds just up my alley
Fantasy-Adventure genres are definitely my favorite so if this book ever gets finished and published, or even some in-depth lore explanation of the story, I will definitely read/listen to it.
Yes omg please. I love lore like this, I would watch 10 hours of just the explanation with maybe the Minecraft visuals! A book would be so amazing :D
I am dumbfounded by the level of imagination and the intricacy of the story line... and builds. You've done it again, Shovel!
Do “Lore Nerds” exist? If so, then I might be one… I love this world building and creativity!
You have really found your stride recently. Keep it up, the quality of these videos are insane!
If you do end up making this into a series it could be amazing marketing for the book if you do ever want to publish! I know I'd love to read it.
Same
WE NEED THIS TO BE A SERIES
I AGREE
Me too
@@suvoshreebose9311 it is
Bro your Wish has been granted
One of my areas of particular interest in ancient history and the transition into the early middle ages. Minecraft has been a tool to explore all these interests and scenarios I can envision related that would otherwise never been seen otherwise. Being able to explore these vast and cavernous ruins with humble dwellings nestled within is such an interesting prospect unique to Minecraft for its accessibility.
Your narration skills are on fire man 🔥🔥🔥 I love this game and spend so much time playing it and yet you do such a phenomenal job of reminding me exactly why I fell in love in the first place. I can't wait to see what you've got lined up next ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Seriously underrated, I’m so glad the algorithm recommended me this video and I instantly subscribed
I’m glad too! Welcome!
the editing in this video is TOP NOTCH! i really loved the window analogy as well, it was so well put :)
also learning to animate as well? damn dude, keep it up! theres obviously still room for improvement with some of the movements being too linear or the effects still having some outline etc, but like.. for litteraly just starting it or having little experience? this is INSANE! i can't wait to see how your content evolves from here, considering it's already one of the highest quality channels I know.
really enjoyed this video!
Haha yeahhh it’s not all perfect; I’m still learning. Unfortunately I can’t do everything all at once. One day perhaps… but I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
not sure what you use for adding the effects in the animations, but if you don't already, i'd highly recommend using after effects and learning that. Most minecraft animators i've watched add them effects with AE, so maybe it's worth lookin into it. (If you already use after effects then uhh.. keep practicing and im sure you'll get the hang of it lol)
But yea, i really like how you're learning and trying new things, definitely makes the content more interesting! :]
I’m pretty sure you’re a very good builder I know another TH-camr who does very good builds his name is Chrisdacow
When I saw this video on my TH-cam homepage I thought, "okay, another very cool building video!" But HOLY MACKAROLY did this video surprise me!
The combination of storytelling, building, showing off landscapes, ingame cinematics AND for the cherry on top animated renders is just fricking legendary!
You seriously did a very good job with combining everything and hooking you viewers to the video. There wasnt a single moment where I thought "ahh, lets skip that part. It is boring".
And tbh I do not have to start with the quality of the entire video.
Your builds are simply out of this world and fit perfectly to this hooking story.
The cinematics and renders give that already amazing footage the kick to be unique and feeling whole.
Thank you for this awesome video and I am really excited for part 2!
I like minecraft because the music, the feeling, the nostalgia. Whenever its a sunny day outside and I feel the sun on my skin. I just remember the good old days of minecraft and everytime that happends I have an URGE to play the game.
man ive been following you on instagram for months if not a year now and had no idea you not only had a youtube but also made such good quality content wtf
This is how I felt when I discovered coding in Minecraft for the first time. It opened up a whole new world for me to explore inside a game I thought I knew so well and allowed me to turn my creativity into something tangible.
Your narrative is crazy good. The creativity is off the charts. You have got this TH-cam thing figured out man. I click on one video expecting one thing, and I get a completely different, better thing.
Thank you! I still have a lot to learn, but I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos while I still figure it out!
You're one of the most unique Minecrafters I've seen. Most videos now are just "100 days" or lifesteal smp type videos. You on the other hand are able to tell stories in a way I've never seen
one of the greats in minecraft videos man, recently got serious about building and you inspire me, wish me luck on my application onto a build team!
Good luck! Glad I was able to spark a bit of motivation!
10/10, excited for the next installment :D
I always admire builders like you. I think it’s incredible to see how people can approach the same game differently and still be emotionally fulfilled. I find myself having a hard time finding ways to express my thoughts and ideas, and I think starting to work towards massive builds like these would help a lot. Great video!
please release the book even if it's not finished. the parts you showed in the video seemed so well thought out. I would like to look through the finished map and see the places from the book exactly as you saw them!.
i cant wait to see the next episode (if you even plan on doing it) this looks like a much cooler project then anything i seen lately
Editing it now :)
Best MC TH-camr I’ve seen to date. Love your stuff Shovel!!! I have always been a survival player and never really liked creative but this video made me think I’d give it a try and then take those builds over to my survival world.
I’m glad you’re enjoying it! Creative mode is a great way to hone your building skills, I’d definitely recommend it
Once you eventually turn your whole fantasy world into one complete mega Minecraft world, you should find a way to mod in your light-based magic system into the game as well. It sounds super interesting, and I’d love to experience it firsthand.
I'm truly grateful for the amount of effort you put into your videos. They are always so good!
This was amazing Shovel!!!
Appreciate it soup! Thanks for watching!
Holy effin' sheet dude. I have no words. So amazing. I cannot wait to watch this happen more. Well worth the wait!
stop- this has been my own personal dream for ages, so seeing someone accomplish their own version of it (and so magnificently at that), im completely and utterly awestruck. you are such an idol for me and i know you'll reach even bigger and better heights in the future (literally, because this video is from a while ago lol). you're so cool dude
I just can't put my thoughts into words, I'm astonished. Every single part of this video is simply perfect. The storytelling, the creativity, the build itself, the message. I am absolutely in love with this format and can't wait to see more of your work.
Only got recommend this video recently, but you've summed up what Minecraft is in the most perfect way possible! Amazing build and looking forward to your book whenever it gets ready for publishing, the story sounds incredibly amazing!
What a wonderful video! People raise an eyebrow when I say I'm into Minecraft, mostly because I'm a middle-age woman, not really the usual demographics, although Minecraft does span generations. I say that it is my creative outlet at the moment. Sometimes I craft things irl - but then what do you do with the things you make? And materials/tools are ever more expensive. Minecraft is free on an ongoing basis. It has limitations just like real life, in vanilla we have a limited block palette, we have limitations with mechanics, but it's a tool, use it within it's limits and it can give so much. It's just a canvas, or an open notebook. Write, draw and express your craft in whatever way you please. And so I imagine this daft old woman will be messing with mc for as long as the platform exists. If people want to see my art - well, they'll have to log on and visit me :)
Yeah, I totally agree with that conclusion. I'm currently working on a necrotic village on a server I'm playing on and I have a LOT of seemingly useless lore that makes the building so much fun. I currently have basically something like a love story between two "creators" of the town
what you could do when the full map is finished is get someone that is good at making mods for Minecraft and get them to make a mod that tells the story that you're trying to tell, with side quests for different factions etc.
Shovel, this was just EPIC! The story telling, the journey and well the builds as well! I have been playing Survival for so long, and its great, but its the freedom that comes with Creative that brings the game to a whole different light! Looking forward to hearing the rest of your story.
That are one of the BEST builds, I've ever seen!
Keep up the VERY good work!!
i was here before 100k...
Well now that is amazing. And actually making me want to build the fantasy world that I'm creating for my own story (book, personal project). Except I'm not really a great builder, and my world is still in progress, and it's set in space so I'd have to build multiple planets.... might do it anyway.
Shovel!! Bro...this was TRULY a epic video. I loved the editing and your story and OBVIOUSLY your builds. This is one of the best videos I've seen on TH-cam in a long minute. Thank you.
I really appreciate that! This was a tough one to make, but I’m really happy you enjoyed it!
Excited to see this series!!
What an amazing journey you're going to make! Minecraft speaks to so many people on so many levels. The survivors, the hardcore players, the builders and creators. I look forward to seeing your progress very much.
i may or may not have watched the videos in the wrong order BUT i’m so invested in this storyline and can’t wait to see where you take it and how you project it into minecraft. so astonishing so far. also really hope you publish the book someday, im already hooked
the quote "the only limit is your own imagination" gives me goosebumps describes Minecraft so perfectly
I've followed your works on and off on patron or other social media platforms and the way you described your story and world that you've dreamed of in this video, you've literally lit my spark again to continue my work. I've always had so much trouble getting what I dream of onto paper or making a visual representation of it through building in Minecraft as that was the closest thing I could get. Thank you!
PS
Everything you've said was something I seriously relate to at a spiritual level.
I love your way of mixing building and lore, mashes it up and stops me from zoning out
this is just an absolutely incredible video, I was hooked from start to finish. the story your telling here is beyond intriguing. and that ending gave me the most INTENSE goosebumps I've ever had
This has encouraged me to recreate my World I built for D&D Homebrew 8 years ago with WorldPainter and Minecraft. Thank you :) This will be a fun and grueling hobby.
Awwww, i really hope that this Omega city never breaks down T_T its so sweet and wholesome
The Seekers, Keepers, money not as the currency but giving back to the community and just everything
TOOOO WHOLESOME!
I just happened to stumble on your channel and this concept sounds so cool! it'd be amazing if you were to expand on this building world in the future! You grasped the concept of the people's love for minecraft so amazingly thank you for letting us hear your voice.
Your world building is mega cool! Or should I say omega😉
Super cool video, love your buildings 🤩👍🏼 and you have a very pleasant voice and a chill way of speaking which is so nice to listen to
This is one of the best video (series) I have seen so far for Minecraft. Interesting, amazing story telling and fantastic vision.
Really hoping tho you can slow down the Timelapse, so we can get more of it, and see the wonderful interior details more clearly.
Keep upppp🥹🥹🥹
I am actually doing something similar to this, useing Minecraft to accurately portray a fictional world, and watching this has inspired me to continue working on it as I had been losing interest, I’d only just discovered you today and I am happy that I did!
I literally just came across this and a video of you and gray and I can't stop watching. Everything has been so immersive and interesting by just watching that I've gotten my love for the game back.
I can’t wait to see where you take this! This video was an editing masterpiece! Your content is so good and the builds are always incredible. Thanks Shovel for everything you do!❤️❤️
Shovel is bringing a whole new approach to building videos and it’s great
Well done on another amazing video Shovel! So happy for you! 😍🧡
Thank you Claire!
I would totally read that book - here’s hoping this is a series! Also you have some great insights to Minecraft’s opportunities- instant subscribe!
I vote this as the perfect ad/documentary for Minecraft... It is absolutely amazing, everything about the video is on point 10/10, please continue this series.
PLEASE MAKE THIS A SERIES!!! you could turn this into a whole modpack, complete with the custom magic weapons!
Loving it shovel
Actually insane what potential this game has, and the ability to make silly images in your head a reality. Good luck with the next region :)
If anyone has the ability to pull off something this large, it'd be Shovel241
Dude, u deserve a HUGE stage!
Can't believe you don't have at least one million subs
This series is legendary. Congrats on following your passion and inspiring people to create.
You are soooo good at building. It's freaking amazing, and I totally think you should publish your book, because your story sounds so cool.
I'm not sure what I'm more impressed by. The Minecraft builds, the story, or the animation, holy shit!!
Bro this is so good. You wrote a book and made it in Minecraft. Every book should have this :) ur an awesome builder
i love this so much. Worldbuilding is one of my favourite things and you inspire me to work on megabases and make entire worlds with lore. I understand that you wouldn't want anyone to read your book, from someone who wrote when I was younger too, I 100% understand why, but still. Your story and world is fascinating to me! Keep up the amazing work and keep making your dreams come to life
Dude your builds are the best i've ever seen its just crazy. The fact that you made this with a storyline just adds so much.
Wow, this is absolutely amazing. The amount of effort and work you put into this world is straight up stunning, pls publish that book lmao
my god this is so fuckin cool
Also I love how you thought out how technology may advance in a world with magic and the the civilization built by the Omegas is as much of technological marvel as it is a sanctuary
The builds, the stories, the editing, its all amazing!!!
Not only can you make gorgeous Minecraft buildings, but you can write as well? What can't shovel do?
It's crazy how high quality your content is
Fr
that ending gave me goosebumps. the composition of this video is so impressive
honestly, minecraft is kinda overrun with cool builds. castles, cyberpunk dystopias, etc. what i've almost never seen is a story in Minecraft. Shovel, this is incredible. I would love to see some sort of animated movie or youtube series based in this incredible world you're creating. your builds are already on another level, and the animation in your videos is very solid. keep going!
Please, please, please continue making builds for this story. This is the best I've ever seen from you. And that's saying something, because I love alot of your builds.
Working on the next one as I type this!
@shovel241 that's awesome!!! And hey, maybe after you finish the world you can get an editor and complete the book for publishing than we can read the story as we explore the world.
This is genuinely the best minecraft build video i have ever seen. I’ve seen you a couple times but definitely earned my sub on this one. Love your work
Totally agree, you are right. It is just GREAT to be able to make your ideas 'reality' by just building and exploring it. I love to do it as well. Keep up the good work
WOW!!!! I would watch this video in a loop.
So much creativity, and so much lore potential... I need to read this book!
Definitely should release the book as well. I’m actually surprised this has never been done before. Having someone build a Minecraft world for you book and put in some block commands is genius 👌. You could totally create an entire new genre
Love this! The worlds you are able to create are beutiful. I really hope you do more stuff like this, its so inspiring!
Bro made whole movie man!! When this project is finished u can like really make a movie from it i swear it looks insaneeee
You're one of a kind when it comes to Minecraft Builders.
Dude, this is actually incredible you’ve just inspired me to write my own book, tysm!!
Genuinely proves to everyone and not just us who play the game that it's more than what it seems! Loved the video!
I'm ngl to you, but this video got me super excited. My favourite books to read are fantasy, and I devour books. Plus, I absolutely love minecraft, so this has just got me so fired up!
Your reason or why you do this is the same reason I got into dungeons and dragons. It might sound odd, and people might think it's boring because there is no visual components, but through it I can create massive, intricate world's, and I can share them with my friends. I've always had ideas I would love to make a videogame or a book about, but when I try it never works, and I hit a roadblock. I'm super glad you found your way around that block, just as I have.
I have never been so captivated by a Minecraft video before. I absolutely love the story telling behind this!
You have said words that explain why I love Minecraft it's a challenge but also a beautiful endless game, I'm terrible at the game but I love it for what is possible and what I could accomplish.
Starting with a simple question....
3 Minutes later: Bam: a whole f*king movie. Kind of.
You went over the top with the editing. Video and your channel are completly underraded.
"WOOAHH!" Was my very first thought upon seeing the thumbnail.
EDIT: Just wow, don't even know where to start! You certainly know how to tell a story, and I cannot wait to see where this project goes! I hope to read that book of yours one day.
I do game design in 2D and VR primarily. Nothing is more satisfying than quite literally living your dream
DnD campaign when? This is sick! I love the story, when you said "They hunted them" at around 4:40, I literally got chills. That is so cool and gives me so many ideas for some worldbuilding of my own. Sucks that I'm really bad at reading comprehension because I can't focus longer than 5 seconds because of brain fasty go-go's. So cool, and I'm probably gonna build locations for my DnD campaign in minecraft, because that'd be so cool
I wrote this comment before I heard "I'm probably gonna turn this into some kind of adventure RPG map" lmao. I'll definitely download it, eventually lol. That would be so sick
You are Just A M A Z I N G.
This video Is on top 3 of the best videos i've watched, congrats shovel.
Looking forward to part 2
Minecraft isn't the only thing being under estimated here! Everything about this video and Shovel are absolutly top notch! I can already tell that your journey as a creator has only just begun and I'm totally coming along for the ride!
Amazing! The amount of work that went into this is astonishing. Don't stop what you're doing, keep pushing!
Thank you for this. It was a great experience watching it and I will keep checking in to see you completing your vision.
Watching only a couple of minutes sparked an creative hunger to develop further my D&D world.
Thank You :)
This video left me speechless!
The house/window analogy describes it perfectly. Like you said, there are so many aspects to the game and each could be its own game
The building process was interesting to watch
The story/worldbuilding you did yourself and shared with us
The editing and animation of Minecraft Characters
I can only say, this channel deserves way more subscribers and I wish you all the best!
Thats so cool. Ive had the same idea with my dreamt world, but never found the time and motivation to do it. Looking forward to following you on the journey!
Just incredible! Looking forward to where this project is going!
