How Minecraft SMPs Changed

Hey guys, I made a new video that I honestly think you would also enjoy if you like this one, so check it out!

This is why I am glad Hermitcraft is still going strong

The whole pvp and mr beast edited style smps are so alienating to me. At the moment I'm only watching Hermitcraft. Have been since S6 and I don't regret sticking with it. Yes even Hermitcraft had 2 seasons that were low in energy, but they're fully back now imo with S10!

Not a single mention of Empires SMP? You also made it sounds like Hermitcraft totally fell off and stopped existing near the middle.

I feel like you overlooked Hermitcraft's importance and longevity a little bit

Techno in the dream SMP perfectly balanced and represetned why everyone liked the Dream SMP. It was and shouldve been a story with bloopers breaking the plot and the streamers charachter. At one moment you would have a speech by techno and then he summons 2 withers...and then the withers said "subscribe to technoblade". You would have dream confronting techno for housing tommy and then techno would start reading donations randomly. It wasnt a grand story being it was a random plot beats that had perfect comedic moments that said "Yes this is minecraft and were having fun".

I feel like Hermitcraft, Stampy and DanTAM were like the only good Minecraft content during the 2017-2018 era when Minecraft was somewhat dead

I think Jschlat and SMPlive was contributing factor rather than a main reason, minecraft nostalgia Tiktoks in 2018 massively renewed interest in Minecraft, Pewdiepie's lets play and hermitcraft season 6 alongside SMPlive added to that renewed interest and shoot the game back up in terms of popularity!

3rd life smp? Along with the entire "life" series? Origins? Empires? X life? The rest of hermitcraft? Scicraft? Naked and afraid? (I'm just giving you a hard time, love the video) Hey who knows, future video?

YOU HAVE TO MENTION THE YOGSCAST SMPS. Its literally one of the oldest and also the first to popularize the original Tekkit modpack. They are also the first to incorporate roleplay in the smp.

I do hate the staged content that people did to SMPs, it's like after the DreamSMP ended, everyone wanted to make content that made people simply click along with the high-paced editing and more. If I ever make an SMP, it's gonna be slow-paced and not about trying to beat the game. It's gonna be more calming and enjoyable, who knows maybe modded too-! One that isn't scripted just to generate money from Youtube.

Was thinking you at least had 1k subs with how high quality these videos are, I was surprised to see you only had 50! You are for sure the most underrated creator on this platform

I am VERY grateful for Hermitcraft... Its just vanilla survival in its purest form. There's no click-baity thumbnails, no fast-paced tiktok attention-span editing, there's basically no scripting. Its all (for the most part) spontaneous vanilla gameplay and player interaction (there was season 8 where they attempted a bit of a storyline, but that was a one-time thing that didn't catch on). Its just wholesome. While everyone is complaining about what Minecraft Youtube has become, Hermitcraft has remained true to itself, not trying to chase after trends or monetization, its just simply a group of Youtubers playing together and making videos about it.

A smp that wasn't mentioned but was also very popular is a series called mianite. Predated smplive and was a live streamed series with roleplay. The impressive thing about mianite is how popular it was it was partially responsible for the first two streamers on twitch to receive 1 million followers (syndicate, then captiansparklez.) Omgitzfirefoxx became the biggest female twitch streamer and held that place for years during her time on the series. and when ever they streamed minecraft was the most viewed category on twitch . I even remember a few times where silly things that happened on stream hit trending on twitter. It might not hit the numbers that streamers hit now but, Mianite definetly feels like the precursor to like dsmp and life steal.

"QSMP is still kinda new" Chief it's ending

Dude, this is so underrated! SMP content has definitely taken a turn. People are getting tired of the fake and hyper edited smp stuff, and turning to classics such as Hermitcraft.

i 100% believe that tecnoblade's character in the dreamsmp was one of the best charcters out there, i only watched dreamsmp because of him

"Damn this video seems pretty neat, I wonder how-" "oh 42 subs.... Make that 43 :)" } For real man good stuff here. Hope to see you continue in the future.

Judging by the quality of the video I thought that you'd have atleast 50k subs but after realizing that the number was only 200 it left me quite impressed. Well deserved sub.
