Let's Actually Play Minecraft Again: The Next Chapters

Rediscovering Minecraft has been an absolute joy. Thank you so much to everyone for the massive amount of support on my previous Minecraft video, which I'd strongly recommend watching before this one if you haven't already. This video contains everything I've played since the last video. I'll be continuing the series starting TOMORROW 3pm GMT on my Twitch channel - if you watch this, you will be completely up to date. Massive thank you as ever to my editor Cloé for working on this, as these videos are a significant undertaking compared to others. I'm hoping to make at least one more video to follow this in the near future of my stream highlights. I hope everyone enjoys it :) Edit: I made a little blunder with music accidentally layering at certain points in the video, and I apologise there. It seems one of my audio tracks didn't mute properly come the final edit. I'll be more careful come the next one there. It shouldn't disrupt the video too much, but it is a little noticeable when it occurs haha

49:44 "I want to set up a little animal farm" "I'll call him Orwell" English major moment

That creeper was a divine punishment from God for trying to part the ocean

To think 5 years ago RT forced 200 starving chatters to drain the ocean for him when he was in Creative. Now he's parting the sea himself in Survival. We've really come full circle. He really made me miss Minecraft.

1:35:34 What's incredible is the explosion occurred just as it exited the water, so it still had block damage.

RT saying "Oh wow it feels like i'm digging up an archaeological site!" and unknowingly destroying all of the suspicious gravel is so agonizing but very funny, this series great

Something I love about the series that I haven’t seen anyone else mention is how much it truly feels like a story. It doesn’t feel like someone just min maxing a video game, it truly feels like an explorer attempting to thrive in a strange new world, which is something that most Minecraft series fail to do. Well done Mr. Game and Mrs. Cloè the editor.

for some reason... when RT was just building the mountain basement, with the chill music... it got me really nostalgic for back when I used to play Minecraft all the time. Like RT, I haven't seriously played Minecraft outside of the build streams in years... and this series of videos has really got me reminiscing on those times. Back when I was just a kid, back when I wasn't constantly worried, when I wasn't questioning who I was as a person. The carefree days of just playing the silly block game with my friend. It's dumb, but... this series made me remember how that felt, even if only for a little while. So, thank you, RT.

A small tip for 1:38:10 - If you use a bucket of water on the trapdoor, it will become waterlogged and release water, thus creating a barrier that will still function as an elevator.

dan actually doing an unironic multi-episode minecraft lets play is not what i thought 2024 had in store but here we are

1:17:40 The comedic timing of this is impeccable, genuinely. The sudden noises, the triple-take, the casual way RT addresses them, they way they don't even shoot, just stand there. Fuckin fantastic

1:37:10 "Safety trapdoor" Loved that dramatic irony.

At 17:20 when Dan was building the basement on top of the track "Goodbye to a World", felt so.. precious to me. I felt a wave of serenity as I watch the clip, cloe got some good taste in music man.

Imagine if RT didn’t make a backup before the infamous Creeper

RT, destroying an ancient archeological dig site: Wow this really feels like I'm destroying an ancient archeological dig site! I wonder why

Absolutely love at 3:16 when RT discovers more chunk distance only to make 4 Endermen in the distance pissed, love that

What’s weird is I grew up with Minecraft. Since 1st grade I’ve been obsessed with it. I watched YouTubers, I laughed, I cried, and I grew up with this game. Of course, I got older. I stopped touching the game after a few years, claiming it had “fallen off.” However, I always knew it would have a place in my heart. As I grew up, those YouTubers revealed their true colors. I lost a lot of the people I looked up to in the past years, and it hurt me. To rediscover an interest, a growing desire with this game from a YouTuber I’ve grown to love in the past 5 years? It feels.. good. It feels good to know I’ve grown and I’m able to rediscover an old love for something like this with a creator I value and always take the time to check in with. I’m an adult now, and I still find a kid inside of myself whenever I see these videos. Thank you, Dan.

I cannot emphasize enough how immensely cool the Hollow Mountain is as a setting. It's a mountain that's also a gigantic cavern with towering stalagmites nearly touching the roof and tunnels that lead further down. There's evidence of people being down here before with mine shafts, but it looks like reality altered around them with nonsensical layouts and structures floating in the air. There are amethyst geodes the size of houses. There's a wizard tower on top of the mountain made out of those geodes. Someone please made a DnD module out of this

49:55 dan naming the pig "orwell" made me burst out laughing. you can tell hes an english major lmao

There’s genuinely something so good about this series. Every time I watch and think “hE’s NoT DOinG iT riGht.” I make myself stop and wait, and each time it’s wonderful. I thought I knew what a Minecraft build was supposed to look like, but I am a bit in love with the wizard tower and the observatory. Glad you’re enjoying the series RT, because it is a joy to behold
