Happy to see

's lofi hip hop radio stream got reinstated, but I think by taking the account down - however briefly - YouTube may have inadvertently created the longest video on the platform.
That is a 13,165 hour, 23 minute, 44 second long stream VOD ๐
"Minecraft is a horror game now" say all the people who have forgotten the first time the sun went down and your shelter was unbuilt; the scream heard from an unknown direction as you built a flimsy bridge above lava; death unhinging its jaw and rushing toward you, unblinking
If anyone is still wondering why the Minecraft movie doesn't just look like this, it's because this was made by a fan in less than 48 hours after the trailer!
Why would they make a movie that looks like a fan animation when hobbyists have been making stuff like this for 15 years
It's only 2 days until Minecraft Live, which means it's 2 days and 1 hour until everyone draws emotionally charged fan art of the two mobs who didn't win the mob vote 'going to heaven' or some such nonsense
When we write the script for the recap, we use [Square Brackets] to make notes of which clips we're using.
And yes, we're doing the joke everyone wants us to
Everyone freaking out about the Starbucks cup in a Game of Thrones episode is also forgetting about this masterpiece of television from a few seasons ago
Heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and community of

The Hermitcraft server has lost a true hermit. May his pickaxe always find diamonds.
Everyone can stop making the Recap jokes now because A) we're doing to do them all ourselves on Sunday, and B)

and
@impulseSV
already did the best one

Heartbreaking news. The memories you made together will stay with you, and the community will always cherish the times you shared Jellie with us.
Much love Scar โค๏ธ
Saw someone on YouTube calling 1.20 the 'Heritage Update'. ๐คฉ
I think it's a great name for what the update has so far: materials from cultures which haven't seen much representation in Minecraft before, a diverse set of default skins, and a mob from Minecraft's ancient past.
The real april fools are people who tell you modders can code vanilla features within a week, but still think Mojang put a ton of development hours into making the poisonous potato update
We have been trying to find the words, but all of us here at Minecraft are heartbroken over the loss of Technoblade. He meant so much to our community and brought so much joy. He will be missed dearly. ๐ท๐๐ก๏ธ
Really not a fan of the new YouTube interface.
Moving comments & video description to the sidebar is one thing;
But the forced rounded corners on the 'default view' player actually crop out a few pixels, which means video elements like the Minecraft hotbar aren't fully visible ๐ฉ
I think itโs tremendously unfair that the Vex are cuter in todayโs Minecraft snapshot. How am I supposed to defend myself while simultaneously trying to take a selfie with them
Interestingly enough,
@Smajor1995
would not be the first or only person Iโve met from Empires. But only because
@falsesymmetry
joined the server, and I met her back in 2017 ๐
No lie, this was our first exchange about this weekโs recap.
โThere are 14 videos this weekโฆ actually, 12 videos and two feature length filmsโ
Always a pleasure, Doc ๐
I feel the biggest prank was pulled on the poor Hermitcraft Recap guys.
They have to go through over 2.5 hours of footage of me for this week's recap.
Sorry Zloy and Pixel...lol
I blame Ren!
So happy people are enjoying today's episode!
One trend I've noticed in the comments is people who were (half-jokingly) disappointed I didn't prank Grian while he was AFK. And I kinda expected people would be disappointed. But here's the thing:
Itโs a proud day when my own redstone creation (on the Hermitcraft server, no less!) gets a positive reaction from
@ThatMumboJumbo
.
Now whoโs going to tell him you can craft one Copper Block into 4 Cut Copper using a stonecutter? ๐
If this is you, please unsubscribe from everything I do and donโt bother coming back.
Where do you think youโre gonna get Internet points for insulting a friend, and a hardworking member of our team?
Absurd behaviour
See, the *actual* reason I have no intention to ever voice a Recap is because you could not pay me enough to be a woman on a channel with that many subscribers. I'm quite content only hearing this bs like twice a week and don't need it in droves. Gotta build up tolerance.
My partner has shut themself in their office to learn video editing in Premiere Pro by editing a bunch of clips of Legolas to ALIEN SUPERSTAR by Beyoncรฉ and I could not be more proud
Well, that's a wrap on Empires Season 2. The castle isn't finished, but then again, history isn't finished either...
I'm gonna be away in Spain for a week, so I won't be able to edit my final episode until I get back.
Please look forward to it!
Unpopular opinion, but: nobody should be expecting changes to Birch Forests in the Wild Update.
Talking about Birch Forests as 'missing' from the Wild Update is a misconception. Mojang never said they would be included in the Wild Update. ๐งต
They actually did it, the madlads! So impressed with everyone's level of commitment to this, it could be a throwaway gag but it's genuinely so entertaining ๐
We can't share much from the Minecraft Creator Summit, but I can tell you the following:
Mojang has learned from the community's reaction to the Wild Update (vs what was shown at Minecraft Live), and is going to communicate their intentions more carefully.
Empires finale tomorrow.
Nothing ever feels finished in Minecraft. It feels really weird signing off this series when you could just add a few more blocks here, a few there.
But you can't, knowing they will whisper to you of a wall, a tower, a forest, a mountain.
Live from empires in 10!
Itโs pretty quiet today because some folks are probably still editing, or are up in their comments replying to people. So nobody ask me to call Grian or whatever ๐คช
I really think the default enchantment glow needs to change at some point in Minecraft's future. I can't see the difference between two-thirds of these potions. Hovering them in your inventory shouldn't have to be the way you identify them.

I know some folks get impatient with Mojang keeping quiet about new features for 1.20.
But take a moment to imagine how different it would feel if weโd seen a rough version of armour trim back in October. If all the excitement had been used up in that moment.
Spontaneous and low-effort has never been my preferred approach to pranks. I always want them to feel original, calculated, & relevant.
If I'm going to prank Grian, I want some effort going in. I want him to be as impressed with the prank as he was with my copper aging machine ๐
I've never seen an episode of Taskmaster but I've heard a lot about it recently and it just sounds like something I want to recreate in Minecraft with
