Let's Actually Play Minecraft Again: The Deep Dark World

Thank you as ever for your support of this series! There's important info regarding the future of my Minecraft content in the description, which I'd strongly recommend reading if you've been enjoying these videos. I'll be streaming more Minecraft on my Twitch channel as well over the coming week. You can now watch the entire series in order in this handy Minecraft Let's Play playlist here youtube.com/playlist?list=PLliBvQE3gg9d3YWgJ11i7FD…

Right after Dan ended this stream: he raided Shenpai while she was playing minecraft. Chat was going absolutely insane talking about the fact he forced them all to do math. She was so genuinely terrified.

"I'm gonna part the ocean like Noah" Spoken like a man who became Catholic for a Wii

Dan’s houses are so endearing because they remind me of the way I used to build before 1000 building tutorials. It’s that earnest desire to have fun with the blocks you have rather than my psychotic “I NEED to obtain SPRUCE because it CONTRASTS WELL with the INLAY” behavior

Aww man. Such a shame he didn’t even find an Ancient City, he really deserved to.

As an archeologist, every time you destroy an artifact dan I lose a part of my soul

watching someone experience the deep dark for the first time blind and still figure out the main gimmick of it (sound = danger) whilr also being scared out of their mind really goes to show that the devs succeeded with it

Honestly: one of the cutest things during the streams was seeing how relieved, excited and elated chat got each time Dan would reunite with Butter after his long sessions in the mines. Melts my heart to see that Butter became part of the family.

Fun fact! You don't sink into powder snow if you're wearing leather boots. Doesn't help Butter crossing the snow..... Other fun Butter-adjacent facts: - You can breed Butter and Toast together to get a mule (Jam?) - Donkeys and mules can wear a chest for some extra inventory while traveling, but can't use horse armor - Llamas (the wandering merchant's pack animal of choice) can also wear chests, but can't be ridden. Instead, if you have multiple llamas you can leash one and the rest will follow.

Hey Dan, small game mechanic that not many people know: If you make a banner, name it using an anvil, place it, and right click it with a map! It puts a marker on the map, and may be nice for fleshing out your world map! (The marker will also be the same color as the base banner!)

You know that RT is going through his insanity arc when he has to resort to using advanced geometry in a game that doesn't have circles in order to find this hidden treasure more valuable than the One Piece. Maybe that shows how we are the pioner!

They way how you deliberately deliver “MINECRAFT diamonds!” Always kills me. Don’t change, RT.

I love how Chloe edits the building montages. Often with minecraft youtubers it'd be sped up, with bombastic music and all that, which is plenty fine. But here it's so much different and reflects the slow, peaceful energy that building actually feels like. It's a great change of pace from other mc youtubers and fits this play through specifically so well.

Oh my god We already knew his world generation was lucky, but to just stumble across a woodland mansion, something that usually takes ages to find even with a map to it, is just absolutely insane

“Gotta make sure I destroy all these catalysts so the warden doesn’t spawn” Warden proceeds to spawn

I don’t want to backseat so I’ll give you a riddle. Deep in the land where the dragon soars, the enderman raise their sails and lower their oars. They sail their vessels through the sky, and on it they carry the wings to fly

I don't think we give enough credit to how amazing of a builder Dan is. He isn't sticking to established rules a lot of builders do (very closed palette of blocks, attempting to remain similar to real life, mimicking real world architecture), and it makes something that feels genuinely organic and unique at once. There are some amazing minecraft builders, but Dan doesnt seem to care much, and jumps straight into having fun and what he likes instead of fixating on what looks good, and it makes his stuff so so cool Its so neat :D

This series is so beautiful for reasons I struggle to explain. I’ve seen people saying they want Minecraft content to change back to the old times, but I think what we really need is this. Not over edited content, but also not something so basic that even if it used to feel exciting it would feel boring now. This is a perfect middle way between the two, an adventure with a charming and heartwarming commentary. So thank you for this

Below many Frozen Peaks, in long uncharted deeps, the Ancient City sleeps, housing in it Silence.

1:30:19 I can just imagine dan frothing at the mouth as he finds more sculk and diamonds, just begging to see his treasure appear
