How Long Does Minecraft Have Left?

  • The long awaited Minecraft video is finally here, I hope all of you will enjoy it. In this video I talk about Minecraft, and how long it's ongoing meteoric resurge in popularity will continue, and also about how long Minecraft itself, will continue. Currently it's 8am at the time of writing this because I stayed up all night editing the video and i'm also tired so goodnight.

    In this video I talk about Minecraft, this isn't a usual Minecraft but challenge video, or a Minecraft challenge, or a Minecraft speedrun, or a Minecraft Hardcore 100 Days challenge, but instead it's a video essay. In this essay I talk about Minecraft's current resurge in popularity, heralded in by Minecraft celebrities like Dream, TommyInnit, Sapnap, GeorgeNotFound, Ranboo, etc. In the video I talk about how long this popularity is going to last for, and how long Minecraft will last for. Also, while i might not mention it in the video, Mojang’s recent decisions with the 1.19.1 update have certainly given people many strong opinions on the future of the game, and where minecraft might be 2-4 years from now if the chat report feature stays in the game.

Not saying these things because I hate Minecraft, I actually fairly love it. It was in fact one of my first played games. But now, I just feel like it's enough.

      Just take this video for example. With roughly 1000 comments and 225k views barely 0.5% of people even wrote a comment. It just so happens that some people like to comment more often then others. So what you see in the end is heavily distorted. Btw this just scales up for even larger videos. Dreams last Manhunt is at about 0.4% of total viewers commenting. Every "toxic dream fan" you see online is overshadowed by more then 200 users who dont engage in the comment section.
      TLDR: dont be decieved by a loud minority. Its no ones fault that they exist. And they exist everywhere.

    Awesome video. I have been playing Minecraft for at least 8 years and I even took a year long break and was pulled into Fortnite. I think I needed the break though because when I came back there was so much to explore. It has been about two years since I quit Fortnite and I am still not showing any signs of stopping. I recently bought my own PC and now I am hooked on Java edition and it is awesome. I know for a fact that one day I will have to take another break and there will be a dead period but I believe that it will come back again and that this will happen forever. Again awesome video and good work.

    The Yogscast (or BlueXephos as the channel was originally called before they became a content creator group) was the first channel I ever saw when I went on TH-cam for the first time back in like 2011-ish, I still watch them daily, and they, along with Minecraft itself, will always hold a special place in my heart.

    I really think the video jchlatt did back in the day really brought this game back through nostalgia and pure interest. I really think that and the new wave of SMPs during 2019 really skyrocketed minecraft back into the place it truly deserves to be, and I couldn't be happier.

    My first minecraft video i watched was X's adventures the day it came out. I vividly remember waiting for each new episode to watch with my younger sister. I was in middle school back then, and now im finished my degree and moved out years ago. My god times fly, but i will always have memories of that playthrough and the times i ended up having with minecraft, all the way up until mid way through my time at Uni. Minecraft is forever, im going to be old and grey and tell my grandkids about that funny little block game.

    I'm 23 years old now and I grew up playing video games and loving my time with them; however, minecraft is one of those games that never really pulled me in. I have fond memories of occasionally hopping on to play with friends, but those periods were brief and sparse. I could never figure out why I couldn't get into it as much as other games even though it has all of the things I like in a video game like freedom, exploration, crafting, and creativity to name a few. I sank countless enjoyable hours into somewhat similar games like Subnautica and Garry's mod and could spend the entire day playing until fatigue is the only thing that pulls me away for the day but with minecraft I never had that experience. I almost feel as though something's wrong with me and envy those that are so fond of the game and hold so many good memories of it and wish I had whatever you need to have such a fun time with what seems like an endless experience. I have it on both xbox and pc and this video inspired me to give it another shot and really be patient with myself and the game this time. I think maybe I go into it as well as other games and maybe we all make this mistake with new experiences, expecting it to be like previous experiences and not allowing it to be great for what it objectively is unbiased by our expectations and past experiences.

    I first started playing minecraft in 2013 on the ps3 and stopped playing during 2017 when I was mid way through high school. But I eventually came back to it in 2020 and I’ve been playing it since. I then took a break about halfway through last year and picked up the controller again this week. Minecraft is just that game that you never delete and it’s always there. You will always decide randomly to play it and get hooked for months.

    I still remember my first “forever world” on my PS3 back in elementary. Man I’d do whatever to relive those years. I just graduated and turned 18. Now it’s time to venture off into the real world but this game will still always be in my game library. I built my first rig about 2 years ago but it just doesn’t feel the same. Don’t get me wrong I still have fun with the game on Java especially because I’ve always wanted to play that version bc my favorite TH-camrs played it but nothing will ever beat the summer vacation early mornings and late nights on mc without a care in the world. I miss those days🥲

I want this thing to be studied by aliens 14,000 years in the future. I want to be buried in this game. I want to die by being blown up by a creeper.
    I live by the craft.

    Honestly, I do consider minecraft's downfall for it to be its own fault. It was partly the community's fault, but it is MAINLY about the updates and Microsofts decisions. When the update aquatic came out, more people started playing it. In my opinion, without that decision to make better updates I think it would have stayed dead.
    I love Minecraft, and I really hope it never goes there again.

    I think when it comes to Minecraft's popularity I have to say for me at least it was not about Minecraft becoming popular it was more about having fun in game that you can git loss in for hours or maybe years.
    To simplify its more about the experience you create well playing the game. That's what it was always like for me for years. Minecraft blowing up for the first time just increased my enjoyment for the game but even after other games took it's spot I stilled played the game when everybody thought it was a "dead game".
    But still this is my own opinion maybe other people have different views about popularity on TH-cam with Minecraft.

    Beautiful video and explanation, though not to the point, but I love it. And that quote at the end, man, words can’t even describe how nostalgic it is.
    And, the thing is, I remember playing MC in 2019, then I quit. I thought I quit. But that was just a break, getting my inspiration little by little again with creators hyping it up. I finally took interest in redstone, and I came back in 2021.
    Every game is like this. You get bored of the game, thinking it’s not fun anymore. But, you will come back. You will eventually play that game again. (Except those you hate, of course)
    Remember, a game may end, but your memories, they last a lifetime. No, not even a lifetime. Forever. It will pass down to your children, grandchildren, and even more.
    Thank you for reading, and goodbye.

    3:30 the extreme dip there ... that was a ... sadly successful ddos-attack landing perfectly on hypixel, leading a lot of those people over to wynncraft.. who were also hit by the attack..
    the difference: wynncraft was able to recover from it faster... I don't know specific reasons. To show how many people were now on Wynncraft for about one week
    one world in wynncraft can hold 40 people
    and on an average day, the highest world you'll find is 30-40 or so
    during that week... the worlds were constantly above 100
    There were SO many people from hypixel in wynncraft that wynncraft players started mocking and talking shit about 'all the hypixel kiddies that should just stay away from wynncraft' or something like that
    also.. loot chests start empty on a new server. they fill up over time and get better contents the longer they're closed. if someone opens one, they get what's inside.. abd then the chest restarts its cycle from the beginning
    also, normally a world restarted after being up for about 7-8 hours
    during that week, there were servers that were up for 50-52 hours
    and there was not a single lootchest that contained more than 2-5 emeralds.. throw in the occasional unidentified unique item.. the lowest quality of loot
    it was awful...
    Feels like a war flashback...
    the first hit of the ddos-attack was immediately visible
    someone sent a message that everyone on the server could see:
    "Don't move any important items in your inventory right now, the servers are under attack which will probably delete those items because of the lag"
    at first i thought it was a joke
    it didn't affect me too much since my wifi connection was almost always as laggy as on that day
    but then I saw a level 101 player running from level 20 zombies... and they asked me, a level 40 mage, for help
    i helped them and learned that they lost their entire armor set because they wanted to make sure it wouldn't be deleted... but exactly that deleted the armor
    Detlas, a city in wynn where people from all levels normally gathered.. mostly lvl 10-40 players though.. since lvl 100 players and such had access to better areas .... this small city was now overrun by lvl 100 players who were trying to recover from the server attack
    I was lucky that I wasn't hit as hard.. the only thing I lost was a level 20 rare helmet... not too much.. compared to several pieces of legendary or even mythic armor or weapons...
    I still feel bad for those people
