This is an awesome MC Q&A format. You get the tour aspect, you get the "where did this build come from, who designed it?" and you get the Q&A. Great idea
I enjoyed this very much! I even stayed with you for the whole hour....although I confess, I was playing Minecraft too. I am a senior citizen and my adult children got me to play. Now I host the server and invite their friends, lol. I'm no geologist but I just can't resist interesting rocks!
Honestly the biggest boast you can have from all of this is being “cool with the kids” confirmed by your own daughter. That’s how you know you’re doing something right! :)
Hi, Gneiss! I hope you know that (for what it’s worth,) you may one of the biggest, most important breaths of fresh air in the community. Your videos cover so much ground and are always super well thought out. Great work so far. Looking forward to all the rest.
Given your favorite games, I have a strong feeling you would enjoy the game Tunic. It's a little bit souls-like, with a big emphasis on puzzle/mystery and obtaining knowledge about the game and its world by finding the pages of an in-game manual one by one. Its truly wonderful and my favorite game and I cannot recommend it enough. Try and find all the secrets ;)
Thanks for the recommendation, I have already played it and loved it. It really brought back the feeling of reading a manual and trying to figure things out before the internet was there. A real good sense of discovery. Its definitely up there on my list of favorites.
For what it's worth, I would love to play on an SMP server that you hosted. Your thoughtful and academic slant surely attracts a more mature crowd than most servers, and it would have a very different atmosphere. I wouldn't want to take you away from your family server, though. Following it by binging these videos has been a pleasure.
The mob sorting combo farm was one of my favourite projects of yours. It was great seeing it again! And I really loved how you took a table and folding chairs along for the world tour, gave it a nice picnic feel. 😂
Thanks, I really like that farm, I wish i made the exterior look a bit better but the way it is now its also cool and a bit ominous just this mass of floating blocks. My daughter and I had a good time making the video.
Thank you for making these videos not only are they interesting and informative they are relaxing too. You deserve all the love you get X10 thank you!!!
Such a wholesome video and amazing world. Congrats on 10k (now 15k) subscribers! I would've never looked at anything geology related without your channel. It's so cool watching someone really passionate talk about anything.
That's really cool that the world was originally for stem outreach during covid! Hopefully a geology update does come out one day so that students everywhere can learn geosciences in the game!
I actually love your speech production. I find it really relaxing. I study linguistics at university! It's a great field :) I just want to clarify, your lisp is not an "incorrect production"-it's just a non-standard production. It's a part of your ideolect, and has absolutely no bearing on your understandability. Prescriptive linguistics be damned, I say!
It's always irked me how people try to enforce a rigid unchanging "ruleset" for how to speak. As long as you're understood by the people you want to be understood by, you're speaking correctly. I never really thought of how to explain my concerns until I got introduced to the terms "descriptive linguistics" and "prescriptive linguistics" some years ago. What's interesting about this is that, in general and as far as I can tell from my general experiences (ie this is anecdotal evidence), the less familiar someone is with linguistics as a field of study, the more likely it is that they have a very conservative, rigid, and prescriptivist (and mostly self-centered around their dialect) view of how language works. They see any other varieties as non-standard, inferior, ungrammatical, inelegant, uneducated, or just plain wrong. There's a saying that I have and I like, well, saying, that goes "if you can correct me, you can understand me." I don't know where I took it from. I've never understood why people, having understood what the person said (otherwise they wouldn't be able to correct them), still "correct" others on how they speak, as if there's a better-er way to do it, completely missing the point.
Thanks, it was the first big farm that I tried to make “look good”. I decided to limit myself to only the blocks that the farm itself produced, I just stayed out there for days eating fish and messing around.
Amazing video!!! Btw, your daughter mentioned that she wanted to pursue linguistics. I've found the subject extremely interesting. Plus, a friend of mine is studying philosophy and he told me that the subjects that he had found to be the most interesting were those from the linguistics department! Have a great day Gneis!! PS: Lovely MC base!
i love the geolegie content an sugestion when talking abaut diffrent rocks is to put where other creators would have a webcam an rock cam or at least pictures of the rocks you are talking abaut grettings from germany great content
About the educational world, I feel like Minecraft would gladly want to collab with you to complete it or something similar. Minecraft already has many educational, free maps on the bedrock store, like a diagram of an eye that you could walk around. Just watched through more of the video now, if you're thinking about getting a discord for the community, I would recommend reaching out to other creators (probably of similar sub count) and see how they run their own discords. As for getting mods, i would start the server and as you talk and get to know certain people, you can figure out who to trust and who will do a good job. It's much better than trusting random people on a wym
GNEISS, PLEASE READ: Ope, looks like the video is out of date, gonna need a 15,000 subscriber special 😅😂😂 EDIT: Gneiss, you should make community posts if you ever have something to say, or if you have a neat picture of a rock you wanted to share, or if you want to poll us about what the next video should be It's a great way to engage the community that doesn't require as much time as making a video, and it is also heavily pushed by TH-cam's algorithm
59:05 did you know if you back in history, humans did not have processed foods, sugars, and ate hard food/seeds, so they had straight teeth n their breath weren’t that bad apparently. Because I grew up using my teeth to crack the shells of crabs and other seafood, I also have straight teeth!
Also, people in Europe didn’t have that much tooth decay back then because there weren’t processed sugars and sweeteners weren’t used as much. Prehistoric humans and ancient civilizations probably didn’t have that much tooth decay as well. You would think technological advancements would dictate our health, but no, bad food regulations do lol.
This is an awesome MC Q&A format. You get the tour aspect, you get the "where did this build come from, who designed it?" and you get the Q&A. Great idea
This channel is lovely! Take time with this sudd3n growth,don't feel obliged to put lots focus on the channel, your passion creates the best stuff!
The lisp is so subtle, dont worry about the people complaining! Be yourself!
Almost 70k subscribers now. I've been binging it and almost made it through the entire catalog. Such a gem of a channel.

Congrats on 10k! Old growth spruce taiga is also my favorite biome, the trees and atmosphere is really calming and reminds me of forests in real life.
i just found you about 2 months ago and you’ve become my favorite information / comfort youtuber.
best of luck on growth, you deserve it ❤️
So excited to watch this and to have been here when the channel was still in single-digit thousands!

Great Video Gneiss! Thanks for answering all the questions! it was really cool to have the world tour as well!
World looks pretty gneiss.

Amazing job on hitting 10,000+ Subscribers! Just wanted to say thank you for your incredible content. Keep up the amazing work!
The Guardian farm design is fantastic. Well done.
Thanks, it was the first big farm that I tried to make “look good”. I decided to limit myself to only the blocks that the farm itself produced, I just stayed out there for days eating fish and messing around.
What an inspiring man you are, keep it up
Amazing video!!!

Have a great day Gneis!!

42:21 hey I know that guy!
casually flexing that metal and wood working???? holy hell those are cool!!
56:30 damn, I heard "Matthew Rease" and was like ??? I don't remember saying that!
Then I noticed it was Reese not Rease 😂
GNEISS, PLEASE READ:
Ope, looks like the video is out of date, gonna need a 15,000 subscriber special 😅😂😂
EDIT:
Gneiss, you should make community posts if you ever have something to say, or if you have a neat picture of a rock you wanted to share, or if you want to poll us about what the next video should be

the fact that your whole family has a dedicated mc server is really cool
