I had a running joke with 5 actors that you were a wife beater and that’s why crystal sheep disappeared. I learnt the lore through a Wattpad fanfic so it is 43% cannon.
I saw the video title and thought: "oh wow someone's finally talking about exploding TNT again" And then I saw that it was featuring exploding TNT, the legend himself
holy crap when i watched explodingtnt videos I didn't know there were _SO MANY_ actors... I always thought it may just be the same few people every time and sometimes just some NPCs in the background
Despite all the wonderful memories I still remember that night when we were making What If Girls Were in Minecraft. It was the third day of shooting, maybe 2 a.m., and everyone was just on edge. Failboat was totally spent, hours of missed takes and technical problems had pushed him way past his breaking point. You could see it in his face. he was furious. Then, something just snapped. Failboat had a Complete Meltdown on set. Peeing Enderman’s stunt double had to be rushed to the ER. The whole set went dead silent, like we couldn’t believe what we’d just seen. After that, things changed. We still got the video done, but there was this strange tension hanging over us the rest of the shoot. Looking back, it’s surreal thinking the audience has no clue that even happened.
ExplodingTNT was a consistent part of my childhood at one point, there was nothing like watching a ExplodingTNT video infront of my Xbox in the afternoon or in the evening, or while using my dad’s pc at my Grandma’s house back in like 2017-2018, being 8-9 years old or when me and my mom first moved into our apartment that we still are in today, I would damn near always watch his videos on her ipad that she would give to me back in 2018, since we didn’t have a TV yet or a big amount of furniture like couch. ExplodingTNT and other creators that posted skits and videos in minecraft were a MAGNET for me (GoldenBucket was another one, there were others but I forgot) I remember my Grandma (Rip to her, I miss you.) that has always been beside me during my graceful childhood experiences, would bring me food, (mostly ice cream) as I watched and it was one of the best feelings ever. Never ever got bored, never ever clicked off, always enjoyed a video. I remember you creeper 😭 back when I was watching you were ALWAYS in the credits, 9 times out of 10 and I began noticing and I was like “this guy again? woah” I want to thank you for being apart of my childhood, helping TNT with his videos, everything. You the goat bro ❤️
The fist throwing, head nodding, and spam crouching really sells this. Literally iconic in the minecraft rp/skit youtube community as being the universal sign of conversing, starting from the original spam crouch and hits of friendship from ordinary server goers.
I know TNT as a friend so seeing the perspective of the acting server was really astonishing. That's a lot of people and crazy how big a community like this was! It bitter sweet seeing his era on TH-cam come to a sun set but it is better to leave when people remember you than making content into oblivion. I do not think there will be another ExplodingTNT as I think his content still remains to be the most unique in Minecraft. How many content creators can you say you waited for a voice reveal for and meant it?
Hey it's me at 4:23! Great video creeper321448! Yeah I briefly acted for ExplodingTNT, I was only in 2 videos to my knowledge. Also I appreciate you using some archive footage I recorded lol. Glad to see everyone's doing well!
How has it been so long? Over a decade now and I remember watching TNT's videos in the backseat of my parents car. This was a great video. Thanks for all the actors for contributing to my childhood.
Damn I never realised the acting community for TNT’s videos were this big. I was late to Minecraft as a whole, but I can happily say I did watch TNT just before Minecraft fell off, and damn do I miss him. Hopefully this is a sign of him coming back soon!
I can feel that something faded away and is never going to come back. But thank all of you for making my childhood. TNT was the first youtuber I subscribed to and I will be forever grateful for what you have given us.
I can tell that many people miss the TNT squad, including me. TNT's videos were part of my childhood, and I wish we could get to see them return. While I am glad Failboat is still holding up, it's sad how out of all the main cast of TNT and his friends, Failboat is the only one left behind. Given how TNT won a TH-cam award in 2022 despite not uploading anything, I hope one day he comes back. Thank you for making this. In the off chance TNT, Pink Sheep, or anyone else in the squad are reading this, thank you for everything, and even though you probably won't upload anything now, we all still miss you and hope you will one day return and bring the same joy that you once brought people like me to newer viewers and the old ones who still eagerly await your return.
Thank you so much. This video awakened in me memories of 2017-2020 from ExplodingTNT, and I still cant believe that it’s been 3 YEARS since he last posted his latest vid. Man, I want to see how the acting server is like. Maybe a tour or smth would be cool!
Man, Exploding tnt was one of my biggest exposures to minecraft since before I even had a computer, or really ANY internet device, we had youtube as part of our Blu-ray and being able to just look at ANYTHING on our tv was such a massive opening for me. He's one of the few things I can remember watching consistently from back then.
TH-cam didnt come on a physical disk, it was mostly on the storage of the blu ray player, most older players dont have access now since youtube got rid of legacy support a long time ago
Incredible documentary! I was a big fan of ExplodingTNT way back when, and had no idea that there was so much going on behind the scenes. The lore, evolving bureaucracy, the rise and fall of it all... its got a romantic touch to it. Really cool to learn and see some of the history behind the channel. Amazing work!
I remember when i played on his server one time, and he joined. For like 30 some minutes, the whole lobby just followed him everywhere felt like watching hollywood celebs walk out a buildijg with crowds of people on each side of the gated walk way stretching their hands out just for a highfive or to be acknowledge. I ended up getting bored and just played bed wars
thank you for making this wonderful video. I was a super fan of the entire ExplodingTNT universe and would always be watching the main channel videos, the Pink Sheep Videos, and Purploeshep videos all throughout my childhood. it was really cool to learn what happened behind the scenes : )
minecraft servers are like sand castles , even if you got to the beach early , and you build the most marvelous sand castle , the day will end , and the waves will sweep it all away , and all we can keep with us are the memories of the fun we had and the friends we made along the way
Hey there! I went by the username Krafterx182 back in 2014 and was in the video "If Mobs and Players Switched Places" as the blue sheep / troll(?) It's really interesting seeing a retrospective on the acting days of the ExplodingTNT crew and how things had changed over time. While I hadn't done anything past those two roles and haven't watched ExplodingTNT in years, it's really neat seeing how it brought many people together, formed friendships etc with how big the community had become. Hope you're doing well and enjoying whatever you're up to now!
ExplodingTNT was a huge part of my childhood, he was one of the first channels I've watched and was my fav youtuber when I was younger. Good to see another video about him
Man! I wasn't planing on crying before bed, but damn does this hit me in the feels! Thank you for making this video, and thank you , the other people and TNT for everything!❤
To this day, I remember where I was when I was first introduced to TNT's channel. A friend showed me at a party I didn't even want to go to originally. That led me to a number of other channels, series, and ideas. Now I'm writing my own stories and hoping to become an author, inspired in part because of those minecraft videos all that time ago. If Exploding TNT sees this somehow, thanks for your part in leading to where I am today! My favorite video of his is still "If trees were removed" because of how weird and funny it was!
Thank you for making this video. I always never really considered the actor side of explodingtnt's video and it sounds like without you guys, the videos would not have been as good as they were. Thank you for your acting and hope you guys are having a good life right now.
Hiii! I’m an irl friend of Abby’s and she’s told me some stuffs about the server and being in the discord. It’s genuinely crazy how much has happened. It’s cool to see some of the stuff that she never really talked about. (I’m one of the people who said you look like the onceler btw lol)
I remember adoring those old videos when I was a kiddo between 2014 and 2017. Weird thing is that I barely remember anything about it, maybe except for a few small jokes, so seeing this video in my reccomendeds was a shock. Thanks for putting this video together! It was a blast revisiting the world of Minecraft skits, and the behind-the-scenes.
This just popped up in my feed and all I can say is... wow. Watched till the end and really, i felt the passion for those videos. And the passion to make others learn the ways to becoming actors is really amazing and wholesome :D I like that... I like that a lot, I watched those videos as early as I played Minecraft for the first time on my WII U. And they were also a way for younger me to learn english, as I'm french. You've all shaped what I am now, and shaped many, many other individuals. It's a-mazing to see something as bright and wonderful as this while the world is currently struggling with drama hatred and sadness. Much of this felt like it was in advance for it's time. And I respect that a ton. I am not actor, nor at all affiliated to anyone behind all this. And i'm ok with that. This is indeed Something Special, to me, and to many others. To around the world, to across seas. To past kids, to futur adults. And to anyone wonders who sheer such a tiny world we live. Thank you for making this video :D
Really appreciate the video. I was never an actor, but I still remember the summer of 2013 and 2014 watching ExplodingTNT on a hot day on mother's brand new Macbook Pro while making paper models of my favorite youtubers from PixelPapercraft. His videos were nostalgic for me and the 1.7 videos and editing style felt brand new and fresh for me at the time and still feel fresh today. I wouldn't get Minecraft PC until 6th grade and couldn't play it until I got my first gaming PC in 7th grade, so these videos were a great window into the things I was missing out on PE. Thanks for the video, it's great seeing the community of the actors from what looked like years of fun every friday.
I never acted on the server but always wanted to unfortunately I wasn't too technologically skilled so I didn't know where to look. That and a certain someone in my life kept trying to ensure I didn't watch TNT's videos in the first place but it never stopped me. I could kind of see TNT's videos were eventually gonna stop coming but when I was younger I thought it'd go on and on forever, I loved watching his channel and seeing the spin offs like Pink Sheep, Purple Shep, and ItsLiz. I always wondered by the black hoodie guy with headphones referred to as Creeper321448 on the wiki was seemingly showing up a lot and now I know. Hats off to a legend I'm guessing TNT isn't coming back tho...
Explodingtnt was a big part of my childhood and i still watch his classic vids to this day, never get old. I have a few questions about the acting and things: 1. Why is it when the scene is focused on one character or just one character is talking, everyone else is frozen? Like, nobody else moves except the focus character. Thought it was weird seeing how there is multiple actors. 2. (My oldest question) How was mob acting done? mods to morph as sheep and skeletons? commands? 3. How were scenes in which a ton of TNT randomly blew up done? (and cleaned up?) 4. How did you guys do dimension episodes? like the diamond dimension, where the whole world was diamonds
1. It's just a lot easier. Every acting session was only done in the mc chat, no VC, so it'd have been extremely difficult to coordinate stuff like that. 2. There's a plugin called Libsdisguised and it's how all the acting was done. You can change to any mob or player in the game, no skin changing needed. 3. Usually, you'd use a plugin called world edit to put a bunch of TNT under something and someone would light it. It was repaired with the core protect plugin which could roll back time. Of course, for a long time we lost the plugin so we'd just either copy the build elsewhere with worldedit or make duplicates. 4. Resource pack editing. It's actually insanely easy and anyone on Java can do it. The actors would NEVER see the "dimensions" because only TNT would have his altered version of a resource pack. Diamonds or normal blocks though? Just use worldedit to change every block in a biome.
finally got a chance to watch this wasn't expecting a history lesson when I started watching but wow the history, atmosphere, members, etc. no joke this kinda just felt like a documentary on ExplodingTNT Acting the pacing, explanation, backstory, etc. just all fits well together on how you presented this I remember watching ExplodingTNT back in the day wow how time flies... hoping more people see this and the masterpiece of a history documentary of ExplodingTNT Acting (I feel like you should update a list of how many actors you reconnect with from this video kinda interested on how many you have found because of it, but hey you do you at the end of the day just a suggestion there is a similar example of someone doing this kinda) the video is F___ you, Nintendo created by CS Ghost Animation a amazing video by itself if you haven't seen it at all (you can get emotional just watching it all the way though, thats how good it is) alright but I digress hope your video gets enough traction so you will make a QnA video on ExplodingTNT Acting (hence half the reason I am putting a comment is for the algorithm) love to see a follow up to this video enjoy the rest of your day Something Special🖖
Hey ahngel! Zeit_Instants here! It's been a while since last time i've actually joined in the server It's not like i don't wanna join in, more like "when i have time i'm not in the mood and when i'm in the mood i'm actually super busy and i'm not really with the time to do so" And also sometimes when im able to play, there's no one on sight, so i leave since there's nothing really to actually do than just building whatever i feel like building Anyway I remember helping rebuild skin town and some old destroyed mansions somewhere around Even though i never actually acted (only built the scenary for the FNF video), it allways has been a great time around there I'll try actually joining the server next time i'm free For now it's just that Have a good night bud :)
Minecraft acting then : What if Minecraft had emerald tools *punching and crouching frequently* Minecraft acting now : I torture 100,000 villagers *activated end rod machine*
@@ImSomethingSpecial Understandable, to each their own, she was my favorite at one point but now it's Darjeeling (not a common sentiment by the looks of it)
Wow, seeing this makes me think of good times watching tnts vids, and younger me wanting to be a actor lol it makes me appreciate the classic minecraft youtube days 😁
this is the first time i've heard TNT's real voice. I remember when he always joked about being a mouse in his videos, and when faking his voice reveal, he'd put squeaking noises in
if you're interested, join ExplodingTNT's discord and dm creeper321448. I'll be able to note your username down so when we do boot camp next I can make you an actor. Just know though we use Java
This video somehow ended getting recommended to me at 2 am (can’t sleep). I remember spending countless hours on the server building random stuff, such as a few buildings in the now lost city of ExplodingTNT Ville. That place was a fun collaborative effort. At some point, I completely forgot that it was an acting server. It kind of just became a hang out spot and a place for me to build crappy Minecraft houses. Good times. - Mine
you know looking back i wonder how many of this niche community doing not just minecraft but every online media as a whole, so much stories lose into time. whether good or bad i belive all of them will be a great stories to shares
I briefly acted in I think 2 ExplodingTNT videos in 2015 tho I can only find myself credited in the description of one, which is "HEROBRINE GETS A GIRLFRIEND?!" (credited as Joshuabump) I would've been either 11 or just turned 12 years old at the time I don't think I joined the server very often because I didn't know when filming was actually happening lol but also my memory is very foggy it's interesting to see a video about a whole community that I could've been part of but just... wasn't for one reason or another it's also so funny and great seeing Failboat being a semi-big TH-camr/streamer now
man… i wish i could’ve join to be an actor, tnt was and still is my comfort content creator since 2018, i have drawn him alot as a fan artist (tho i never jouned the discord server, i am too scared and had no idea it existed, would love to join now tho) and i really wish i couldve been apart of all of this but sadly i was only 11 at the time, tho im going to my 18th birthday we hope….we hope he’ll come back….

I never acted on the server but always wanted to unfortunately I wasn't too technologically skilled so I didn't know where to look. That and a certain someone in my life kept trying to ensure I didn't watch TNT's videos in the first place but it never stopped me. I could kind of see TNT's videos were eventually gonna stop coming but when I was younger I thought it'd go on and on forever, I loved watching his channel and seeing the spin offs like Pink Sheep, Purple Shep, and ItsLiz. I always wondered by the black hoodie guy with headphones referred to as Creeper321448 on the wiki was seemingly showing up a lot and now I know. Hats off to a legend I'm guessing TNT isn't coming back tho...
Good to hear from exploding tnt, hope he returns one day
Me too
HE SPEAKS
nah he squeaks
Explodingtnt was a big part of my childhood and i still watch his classic vids to this day, never get old. I have a few questions about the acting and things:
1. Why is it when the scene is focused on one character or just one character is talking, everyone else is frozen? Like, nobody else moves except the focus character. Thought it was weird seeing how there is multiple actors.
2. (My oldest question) How was mob acting done? mods to morph as sheep and skeletons? commands?
3. How were scenes in which a ton of TNT randomly blew up done? (and cleaned up?)
4. How did you guys do dimension episodes? like the diamond dimension, where the whole world was diamonds
1. It's just a lot easier. Every acting session was only done in the mc chat, no VC, so it'd have been extremely difficult to coordinate stuff like that.
2. There's a plugin called Libsdisguised and it's how all the acting was done. You can change to any mob or player in the game, no skin changing needed.
3. Usually, you'd use a plugin called world edit to put a bunch of TNT under something and someone would light it. It was repaired with the core protect plugin which could roll back time. Of course, for a long time we lost the plugin so we'd just either copy the build elsewhere with worldedit or make duplicates.
4. Resource pack editing. It's actually insanely easy and anyone on Java can do it. The actors would NEVER see the "dimensions" because only TNT would have his altered version of a resource pack. Diamonds or normal blocks though? Just use worldedit to change every block in a biome.
@ ah i see cool thanks for all the answers, super helpful man and im glad you had such a great time being an actor
I’m gonna cry that was a beautiful ted talk, I’m not even gonna type gey
Please come back to TH-cam ExplodingTNT! We miss you!
Thank you for this video, loved being in this! (Also loved reliving taxes and being "fired" lol) ~L8
So many childhood memories have been unlocked
finally got a chance to watch this
wasn't expecting a history lesson when I started watching but wow
the history, atmosphere, members, etc.
no joke this kinda just felt like a documentary on ExplodingTNT Acting
the pacing, explanation, backstory, etc.
just all fits well together on how you presented this
I remember watching ExplodingTNT back in the day
wow how time flies...
hoping more people see this and the masterpiece of a history documentary of ExplodingTNT Acting
(I feel like you should update a list of how many actors you reconnect with from this video
kinda interested on how many you have found because of it, but hey you do you at the end of the day just a suggestion
there is a similar example of someone doing this kinda)
the video is F___ you, Nintendo
created by
CS Ghost Animation
a amazing video by itself if you haven't seen it at all
(you can get emotional just watching it all the way though, thats how good it is)
alright but I digress hope your video gets enough traction so you will make a QnA video on ExplodingTNT Acting
(hence half the reason I am putting a comment is for the algorithm)
love to see a follow up to this video
enjoy the rest of your day
Something Special🖖
i loved this video great work man
11/10 video (I skipped where I voiced)
Hey ahngel!
Zeit_Instants here!
It's been a while since last time i've actually joined in the server
It's not like i don't wanna join in, more like "when i have time i'm not in the mood and when i'm in the mood i'm actually super busy and i'm not really with the time to do so"
And also sometimes when im able to play, there's no one on sight, so i leave since there's nothing really to actually do than just building whatever i feel like building
Anyway
I remember helping rebuild skin town and some old destroyed mansions somewhere around
Even though i never actually acted (only built the scenary for the FNF video), it allways has been a great time around there
I'll try actually joining the server next time i'm free
For now it's just that
Have a good night bud :)
Damn. This vid kinda made me feel things for some reason. Good video, glad to know y'all are alright.
I remember as a kid I thought explodingtnt had a new version of minecraft because I didn't know what texture packs were back then
About time exploding tnt appears on content again
I remember failboat talked about how he met tnt and how he started his channel
Minecraft acting then : What if Minecraft had emerald tools
*punching and crouching frequently*
Minecraft acting now : I torture 100,000 villagers
*activated end rod machine*
Very good video! Sam’s voice is still very handsome
God this was a trip down memory lane.
He is an inspiration to me.
He made me want to be a story teller.
Now I am an animator. Because of him.
Someday, I wish I could work with him.
Great video, I love this
Still got ExplodingTNT's Tube Hero's figurine as well :)

@ s’like the time I found nekuz in the wild (a comment section)
"To commemorate the efforts of all actors, I decided to create this video."
You said this like you were gonna continue the sentence.
ExplodingTNT didn’t mention if he’d come back or not so now I don’t know what to expect
I wouldn't hold your breath. A lot of why he stopped making videos is because he didn't know what else to make
Orepros still makes some good stuff
@@ImSomethingSpecial Three words, Lost In Space
cant believe i came across this because rena andou was in a thumbnail, this is really nice to hear
@@Bored_Kaga funny thing is she's one of my leash liked gup girls
@@ImSomethingSpecial Understandable, to each their own, she was my favorite at one point but now it's Darjeeling (not a common sentiment by the looks of it)
@@Bored_Kaga Personally my favourite is Chihatan and Nishi I think is the best. I do like Mika tho
@@ImSomethingSpecial An understandable selection
Wow, seeing this makes me think of good times watching tnts vids, and younger me wanting to be a actor lol it makes me appreciate the classic minecraft youtube days 😁
this video was really good to keep up the great work man
Thank you! It took a lot of time and headache to make
this is the first time i've heard TNT's real voice. I remember when he always joked about being a mouse in his videos, and when faking his voice reveal, he'd put squeaking noises in
I miss TNT's vids, they were part of my childhood
this *needs* more views!!
Man, i wish i had the privilege of having a pc back then. The fun i missed out on.
Ahhhh nostalgia
man I would love to explore the server and see all the amazing builds
if you're interested, join ExplodingTNT's discord and dm creeper321448. I'll be able to note your username down so when we do boot camp next I can make you an actor. Just know though we use Java
ok hear me out. what if y'all were to ask explodingTNT for the channel ownership and started uploading acting vids urselves
I never knew what happened, however, I'm glad to know know
comment for the algorithm
amazing video
This video somehow ended getting recommended to me at 2 am (can’t sleep). I remember spending countless hours on the server building random stuff, such as a few buildings in the now lost city of ExplodingTNT Ville. That place was a fun collaborative effort. At some point, I completely forgot that it was an acting server. It kind of just became a hang out spot and a place for me to build crappy Minecraft houses. Good times.

How you been minemayor?
pretty good.
ExplodingTNT was the GOAT at them but Orepros (TNT's main rival back in the day) still makes some good stuff if anyone wants to watch some nostalgia
wow what an awesome video
So much nostalgia
It's kinda crazy because every actor found this nostalgic too. I'm really proud of this video
you know looking back i wonder how many of this niche community doing not just minecraft but every online media as a whole, so much stories lose into time. whether good or bad i belive all of them will be a great stories to shares
ace vid! love ur content!
@@CuBoyd thank you!
@@ImSomethingSpecial wanna collab?
@@CuBoyd Nah
It was my dream to act in one of these videos
I miss this guy
Wow that's a lot of voice actor from ExplodingTNT's Channel before!? 😳
I never knew there was many players who were in survival mode only.
Yeah the fear amongst staff was grief.
992 subs! so close to being 1k!
I can reach it!
Make that 995
@@SpringsterR-317 based and red pilled of you
...do I say thank you or sorry?
@@SpringsterR-317 it's a thank you
I briefly acted in I think 2 ExplodingTNT videos in 2015 tho I can only find myself credited in the description of one, which is "HEROBRINE GETS A GIRLFRIEND?!" (credited as Joshuabump)
I would've been either 11 or just turned 12 years old at the time
I don't think I joined the server very often because I didn't know when filming was actually happening lol
but also my memory is very foggy
it's interesting to see a video about a whole community that I could've been part of but just... wasn't for one reason or another
it's also so funny and great seeing Failboat being a semi-big TH-camr/streamer now
You know this confirms a suspicion a lot of 2015 era actors had. That being tons of people bought the whitelist and just...never came on.
@@ImSomethingSpecial yeah lol
and considering how much I remember it costing, jesus christ, I REALLY should've gone on more lmao
TNTacting… haven’t heard of that in a long time….
Omg Aido! How are you?
man… i wish i could’ve join to be an actor, tnt was and still is my comfort content creator since 2018, i have drawn him alot as a fan artist (tho i never jouned the discord server, i am too scared and had no idea it existed, would love to join now tho) and i really wish i couldve been apart of all of this but sadly i was only 11 at the time, tho im going to my 18th birthday
we hope….we hope he’ll come back….
relatable except i was 10
The people who created childhoods
holy shit exploding tnt
Ah yes... Good times
