Celebrating 15 Years of Minecraft YouTube

(low rhythmic music) - Come on, Sir Oinkssalot, you've got this, mate. We've gotta jump. - Hey Tommy, what are you doing up here with a pig? - Hey, Aphmau. When I was five years old, if you told me I was gonna make a living playing this game, I'd have said... What's the saying with the flying pigs? - Ooh, when pigs fly. - Saddle up, and let's celebrate 15 years of "Minecraft" on YouTube. Alright. - (laughing) Let's go. 15 years? Whoa. Let's go back to the beginning. - [Tommy] First stop, where it all started: Survival mode. - Everything you see around me right now is a randomly generated world. - Mate, I was seven when this video came out. - Really? Me too! - What? - Anyway, my first night in "Minecraft" was a nightmare. - [Player] We are fairly new to "Minecraft." We've only played like a few hours of it. - What was yours like? - My first night? It was quite sad. I was totally clueless about the basics. - Oh geez, no, no, no, no. We're gonna die here. Um... I died. - "Minecraft" for beginners. - Hey everyone, and welcome back to the Chill Survival Series. - Hey Tommy, Hey Aphmau! - LDShadowLady, perfect timing. We were talking about OG Survival mode. - Something I know a little about. ShadowCraft is one of my first Survival, single-player worlds. Ow! Oh gosh, I forgot that they attacked. (panting) - When you craft something in Survival, you have to fight for literally every single thing. - Found some! - What, you found diamonds? - I did! - I'm gettin' diamond right now, are you kidding me? - And of course, live. - Whoa, this guy's decked out. Oh, he does a lot of damage too. - Yeah, and when you get killed by a mob, it really stings, (Mac screaming) It took me so long to get all that netherite gear. What? You think that stings? Mate, when you get annihilated by a skeleton on the 98th day of your hardcore challenge, that's where my language gets a bit fiery, okay? - We did it. 100 days later, and I have survived. (portal whirring) - Who invited the creeper army to the party? - That was fun, Tommy and Aphmau, but too many creepers! I'm out of here. - The party's over. Come on, Tommy, through here. Oh, man. Let's check out Creative mode. (gentle music) Yes, Creative mode is so sick! - [Aphmau] (laughing) I love all these builds, especially when they recreate detailed cities. - [Player] After more than a year of dedication and super hard work, the ultimate world is complete. - [Builder] But let's build a computer in "Minecraft." Redstone is a massive part of "Minecraft." - [Player] I'm building a giant tank. - [Aphmau] The day I discovered redstone just blew my mind. - Oh no, what is that? Ha, fireworks? Yeah! - Ah, that's so sick! - [Tommy] There is no better place to recreate humanity's greatest works of art. - I mapped everything out, every star position, every swirl, to create the perfect night sky. - [Aphmau] Whoo! - Going places where no Steve or Alex has ever gone before. (portal gentle whirring) Hey Aphmau, aw mate, you know what? I've got free prize for you. Let me show you one of my favorite redstone builds. Come on, come up here. - Aw, that's so sweet. You're the best, oh my God. - Now, press the button. - Okay! - Press it. - Ah! - (laughing) Bye. - Tommy! - Catch me if ya can! (Aphmau growling) (portal whirring) Whoa, what a nice texture pack. - This is the real world. Now, let's see how "Minecraft" inspires life outside the game. (crowd applauding) [Spanish} The museum when I won the Minecraft 10th anniversary contest. - [Tommy] It warms my heart to see how our friends can come together for important causes. - Donating to St. Jude is one of the best causes in the entire world. - (laughing) We've already raised $17,000. I don't even know how to thank you for this. - Techno never dies! - [Tommy] The world is better with blocks. - I'm gonna teach you how to knit a "Minecraft" creeper. (person yelling) - Makeup inspired by the "Minecraft" cherry blossom biome. - Sign me up for the "Minecraft" world. - We got the "Minecraft" cake. - [Aphmau] Aw, a "Minecraft" wedding, that's so sweet! - [IRL Builder] The world's first real life Ender Dragon. (explosion blasting) - The "Minecraft" paintings I made turned out brilliant. - [Aphmau] (laughing) I love fan art. - No! - [Tommy] Man, they are just amazing. Onto the next portal. - Saddle up, Tommy, let's get ready to joust. - Pig jousting. Hell yeah, I love it. Oh, okay. Hang on, hang on, hang on! (Aphmau laughing) We should do this the right way, in a PVP server. Follow me. (Aphmau laughing) (gentle rhythmic music) Oh yes, mate! Oh, PVP, home to "Minecraft's" greatest gladiators. (player yelling) (sighing) I've wasted my youth in PVP. And, I'm only 20, and 10 of those years have been spent with a diamond sword. - [Player] No, no, not like this. - [Tommy] But hey, don't you forget the all-time legend, alright? The man who had the 1,000 Bed Wars win streak, who beat "Minecraft" with a steering wheel, okay? My mate, Technoblade. Come on. - Of course not. - 999. This is it. And 1,000! - [Aphmau] So many players have learned from watching these superstars. - Get out of here! - Ah! - [Aphmau] And what's more competitive than speedruns? - Enjoy the one cycle, baby. Let's freaking go. Yeah! - [Tommy] Where does this portal go? - So pretty. (gasping) Wait, I think I know what this is. - (laughing) First one to the portal wins. On my go, get ready, set- - Go! - Ah, uh-oh, you cheated! - That's what you get for tricking me earlier. - Aw! - There's another portal. (laughing) Catch me if ya can, I'll be in SMP mode. (portal whirring) - [Tommy] Aw, I wonder which of my mates are gonna be hangin' around the corner in here. - [Player] But we are launching a new server with a lot of content creators. - Hello, everyone! Welcome to Hollow Town. - [Tommy] Think of all the billions of SMP viewers out there watching people like Technoblade or Quackity. - Hello, everyone. This is QSMP. (players laughing) - [Aphmau] Or LifeSteal, or even HermitCraft. - [Tommy] I've made so many legit friends from playing thousands of hours of SMPs, I love it. - Hey, look at that. Oh, you trampled a turtle egg! - Guys, do see that? Ah! - [Aphmau] It's like so much fun, especially when you create stories that you can act out with your friends. Herobrine has invaded our "Minecraft" server. (players laughing) - I don't like it, I wanna get outta here, and I wanna... (speaking gibberish) (gentle rhythmic music) - Well, I knew a streamer who said Herobrine wasn't real, and one day, he just logged off and no one ever saw him again. (thunder crashing) - Woah. But seriously, the game has a massive global impact. Next up, "Minecraft" all over the world. - [Tommy] Ugh, my YouTube "Minecraft" comrades, I salute you. - Indeed, we do. (Spanish) Hi boys and girls! Lyna! - Mate, the "Minecraft" community, you know, has posted videos with more than 1,000,000,000,000 views, and people are still posting more every single day. - That's crazy. It's so cool to see people from so many countries come together to play "Minecraft." Spanish: Hi. I'm Lyna - Good morning, guys. (Hindi) I am awake and now (speaking in hindi) I'm going to go straight to mining - Ah! (Japanese) Arigato gozaimasu! (gentle rhythmic music) - It's so amazing to see "Minecraft" creators come together like this. "Minecraft." (speaking in foreign language) - Adios, Lyna. - Aw, come on Aphmau, to the portal. Hey, there's my trusty pig! - I swear, we've barely scratched the surface of "Minecraft," and there's endless possibilities ahead. Wherever we go, there's gonna be tons of videos about it. - Exactly. Now hop on, let's get off that cliff. - I'm trusting you! - Come on, come on! - Tommy, no! (Tommy yelling) (Aphmau screaming and laughing) (creators playing "Minecraft")
