Exploring Minecraft's Most Forgotten Mod.

MERCH STUFF!!! www.squiddostore.com
Tropicraft is a mod that was incredibly popular back in 2012 to 2013, but it seems like in 2023, it doesn't get spoken about as much. It's a mod that's similar to the aether and the twilight forest, so why don't we remember it? It's been updated to 1.18, 1.19 and even 1.20 Minecraft, so I decided to see how the mod looks today. And spoilers, it looks really good!!

I had no idea they were still updating tropicraft :0! This is amazing to see some people still know about this mod, I remember playing it for HOURS as a kid just sitting on the beach and watching the sunset all the time :-D .

[@Squiddo]

Yeah me too!! The newer versions have so much more detail but are still just as charming, I'm glad someone else remembers this mod :]

[@doomi4055]

And even Cojomax one of the founders of Tropicraft got hired by Mojang and recent biome, mangroove swamp is come from this exact mod, Tropicraft

[@Luckybunny-dg5gg]

There is a mod that's called The Man from The fog some call him the night dweller because he only spawns night and he is the cave dwellers sibling

DrZharks Mo's creatures was an old favourite until it wasn't. That's the origin of Minecraft horses, but in that mod you could get unicorns and Pegasus and manticores and other awesome pets. NEARLY EVERYTHING WAS TRULY TAMEABLE, unlike current Minecraft where the mobs are just there. Alex's mobs is the spiritual successor extra animal mod, I love those grizzlies so much.

[@emmalivingston6428]

Alex's Mobs is great

[@Paradox_Incognito]

Mo creatures was iconic and my little LDShadowlady-loving past self was drooling over the fairy horses..

[@JustZal]

now we got alex's caves :D which is a better version of caves and cliffs mojang really shouldve added alex tbh

[@cassandra_..]

lol

[@Marilynn_1275]

Agreed!

[@TheThingInsideYourWalls]

2:15 Pineapples actually do grow on trees. That's just what the tree looks like, it's very small, and only yields "one" pineapple. I put one in quotation marks, because 1 pineapple is actually a bunch of individual berries that grow out of the side of the trunk (that's what the solid core part of a pineapple is) and grow so closely together that they end up fusing by the time they are ripe, resulting in a mass of tangy goodness. It sure as hell looks really weird though.

[@hongopedo]

Eeeee no. Most of what you said is correct except the first part. Pineapples DON'T grow on trees. They are monocots in the family Bromeliaceae, the same one as bromelias and puyas. One characteristic of monocots is that not a single one is a tree because they don't produce wood, most of their stems don't even grow in width (palm trees for example, where the width of the stem is the same in a ten years old specimen that just started growing up and a 100 years old one that has 20m of stem). Some of them, like Yucca or Dracaena can get wider, but even then, it's anomalous secondary growth, as they don't produce wood. In the case of the pineapple, is a mostly stemless herbaceus plant, not a tree by any means. Only gets tall when flowering, the same as with most bromeliads. You seem to know what a pineapple is, so I guess that what you don't know is what a tree is.

Yeah, and I'm a teenager still I shouldnt be feeling old like this

[@ddee8548]

i desperately need an smp using the tropicraft mod. this is everything i need in my life

[@SpineBones]

Ye, with a story about a shipwreck stranding the people there as the reason for them being in the tropical place =]

[@IvyDoggins]

*Attack of the B-Team Intensifies*

[@ImTottallyNormal]

No

[@PhoenixfireLuneSolei]

Thank you so much for showcasing Tropicraft! The team and I work super hard to update it each year in line with our annual charity livestream event Love Tropics. :) Fun fact: the mangrove biome was added the year we supported a mangrove preservation org called Osa Conservation, and Mojang adding mangroves that same year was a pure coincidence since Cojo couldn't tell us they were working on it xx

[@username5155]

I’ve always loved this mod. It always felt so big, and the only reason it feels any smaller is just because Minecraft itself has gotten so much bigger.

[@C0RRUPT3DITOR]

Yogscast immediately came into my mind upon seeing you sitting in that chair. Such good memories from the mod

[@jemm113]

Chimneyswift was my first thought :D

[@ZarinaRoseYT]

Seeing the title reminds me of a mod I've been honestly missing Spider Queen mod Idk if it was well known but I loved that mod when I was younger.

[@sacrificiallamb4568]

That's still a thing up to a point, I checked.

[@adomination1128]

wow i remember that i used to love it as a kid. i also remember one i was obsessed with called more creeps and weirdos

[@yamihikarilightdark9]

I totally recommend people check out this chill dimension! :D I just like looking at the fish and swimming. 🤙 I think one version had their own ocean water that had a lighter tint. Some things that were missed 1. Tropi creepers explode harmlessly into flowers! Squiddo wouldve loved this. 2. There is a drink mixer! :D There are also coffee bushes and those trees speckled with colored dots actually drop different fruits when broken 3. There are tropicraft villagers on the ocean 4. There are giiiaaant volcanos~ 5. To get to this dimension, you need to chill on one of those beach chairs at the shore with a coconut-pinapple drink at sunset. No, really. My favorite “portal”.

[@AGKyran]

That seems awesome ! This is with 2023's version ? The idea of a portal like that is just crazy, I love it !

[@Burning_Dove]

i am stuck in the dimension, how to get out????

[@omgem3669]

Dude, I used to LOVE tropicraft. I have fond memories of locating volcanoes and looking at every possible drink. I played before I got into survival mode, so that was most of it, but I’m so glad it’s still alive and ready for play today.

man i remember watching chimneyswift do a lets play of this mod and thinking it was the coolest shit in the world...good times fr

[@LiamTolentino]

Glad to see other people mentioning Chimneyswift in the comments :) None of my friends grew up watching him like I did, so it's really cool seeing people online did ^~^

[@delve_]

@@LiamTolentino Me and my sister watched him a lot growing up!

[@nekorina9011]

mannnnnn I remember chimneyswift 😭i loved his videos as a kid. I think he's still doing KZbin actually! But iirc I was told he moved on from Minecraft. @@delve_

[@wandereringshadow8658]

The fact the Flame of Tropiccraft is still going a decade later is amazing to me.

[@Noe_]

The original creator of this mod actually works at Mojang now! I like how all the creatures from the mob votes got added here

[@booshy2422]

I love how happy Squiddo is in the new version, compared to the old one XD

[@frag8476]

For a second i though she meant OreSpawn. But this works too

[@timediamond3921]

Yeah same

[@TheRealComnet]

yeah i was like yeaahh the mod with the godzilla right but no it was tropicraft

[@Uzi.Murder.Drones]

I remember the old minecraft when there was no bad minecraft animations😭

[@Yegor_Mechanic]

I don't understand what you are talking about.

[@Uzi.Murder.Drones]

[@Uzi.Murder.Drones]

@@Yegor_Mechanic it means you know in short

[@mangotango1031]

It makes me so happy to learn this mod is still being updated! It was one of my all time favorites when I first got into mods and I just assumed it wasn't being supported anymore. I love how they incorporated the new minecraft content into the tropicraft world instead of having 2 types of bamboo and such.

[@sporeham1674]

This mod was my childhood! And now I watch squiddo... Worlds combined!

[@storiesacrosstheworld]

Very sad to think that there were a whole playerbase to these worlds.

[@masterboa6321]

i love how you played Seep and Destroy over exclusively the moai head

[@perillous]

I'm glad to see this mod get attention again, thanks for making this video!

[@HC0000FF]

tropicraft predicted crabs in minecraft

[@serinibram1627]

True💀

[@Yegor_Mechanic]

No

[@Tyler-jx6mr]

There isn’t crabs in Minecraft

[@StarshinMoon]

I remember this mod being in the Attack of the B-Team Modpack and That the Dinosaurs of another mod naturally spawned in the dimension! Absolutely loved it!

[@SemiHypercube]

another cool thing is that the original creator of the mod actually works at Mojang now

[@hwalleluja]

omg i remember a group of swedish minecraft youtubers having a rly popular series with, among other mods (like a morph mod) and tropicraft and GOD i loved that

[@PeachIceCreamy]

I think your content is very entertaining and your editing is fairly good too!

[@GoreGlaze]

This was my favorite mod back in the day. I’m so happy to see you playing it!

[@luthfi7725]

Squiddo's Adventure Handbook reminds me of those old minecraft books youtubers would write. like dantdm, stacyplays, and populammos. Even if it's just a notebook, that's super cool already!! i hope you get to write some sort of actual book in the future, that would be fun ^-^

[@LiamTolentino]

Omg, I remember this mod! I went to Mexico recently, and as I was drinking a Piña Colada at sunset, I imagined myself teleporting to the tropical dimension 😄

[@H3RO14]

The editing is crazy and the way you put energy in anything you say,you deserve a subscriber

[@cappykidofficial]

8:17 Hey! That’s my fan art right there! Thanks for using it! Now I wonder if the world of Tropicraft can survive the dreaded Wither Storm!

[@Sunflower-sg1it]

ur editing is so fun to watch omg!

[@feieryy]

Tropicraft was the first mod I ever played! Thanks for the nostalgia ^^

[@sge2000lbp]

Tropicraft is still one of my all time favorite mods & I'm sad so many people had forgotten about it. So thank you for uploading a video about it!

[@Red.Shadow.Maggots]

Squiddo is like DanTDM but instead of showcasing the mods, They explore the wonders of the mod by themselves

[@archivepostsexe]

that's amazing that the developers of the mod have been keeping it updated every since!!

[@genlosser4]

The easter island thing was so unexpected 😂

[@Thekushkraken]

Tropicraft contributed one of my fav MC memories. I played on a modpack server with friends and our base got raided so we packed up and escaped to the pina colada dimension.

[@JoeCrucible]

a mod i always come back to, glad its getting attention again

[@rj-boi]

Vote for the *crab*

[@wehateyondr]

I acc liked the armadillo but okay

No

[@firebeetlethestagbeetle3901]

Why people like a fricking armored rat than a crab friend

[@no0btu63rscorner]

I love living in the tropics anytime its included in modpacks. It holds a special place in my memory.

[@namikochan5188]

I was searching videos with this mod a while ago but I couldn't find any! I didn't know the name of the mod because I was too young at a time to understand that this is a mod. I'm so happy your video popped out in my recommendations 😭

[@ogdaniel8360]

Forgotten to you, not to me I still watch tropicraft videos 10 years later

[@voidwalker3508]

Oh man Squiddo merch! That notebook looks like the perfect gift for one of my friends; they love drawing and sketching and doodling

[@samucagamesbr162]

hi squiddo, love your content! keep it up!

This is my first video of you and I instantly love your content :)

[@whygamingwhy2404]

I aint forgotten this thank you! I played it last year.

[@szelda]

IT'S STILL BEING UPDATED???? I remember reading somewhere that they've discontinued it back in the day omg I've loved this mod so much

[@LunaTheMoonBean]

I remember this mod being one of my favorites in the mod pack used for the attack of the b-team smp back in he day

[@wardengamer374]

There still updating tropicraft that’s awesome. completely forgot about this mod then got hit by nostalgia.

3:38 I just got flashbacks to The Sims 2 castaways *if you know, you know.*

[@palecaptainwolfkayls8499]

I saw the thumbnail and immediately thought of sipping a Pina Colada(?) in a lounge chair with the sunset. This was a fun-looking mod, back in the day and at present.

[@raviole]

I loved this mod, I didn't know they were still updating it :O

[@KNKoc]

Reminds me of Don't Starve Shipwrecked. Might play this with "Sanity Descend into Madness" mod for 3D Don't Starve expirience

[@ioele1000]

I always remembered Tropicraft because it's super beautiful. I remember Generik B's building near a volcano and it erupted and it was cool ef.

[@lexingtondavid]

I feel the same way about Millienare! It's still being updated and they're trying really hard to update it to the newer minecraft versions!

[@Cranberry_AZ]

EXCITED TO WATCH THIS SQUIDDO

[@Noah-gp8tv]

i used to love this mod back when i was watching the minecraft files

[@khheroxasoraypowell]

it crazy this is still updated and no modpacks use it so everyone abandoned this its so sad

[@AGKyran]

Wait... did you just tried to run a 2013 mod on a recent minecraft version ? This is cursed. Of course it would have issues. You're forgiven though, because you reminded me of my passion for vivid colors and tropicality. I loved skyrim tropical mod, and it's nice to be remember about tropicraft. I never tried it back in the day, but I remember watching videos about it. Fun times.

[@binyopt]

i absolutely respect the drawn to life music :)

[@Maxxie40]

with the comes alive mod revived it would be awesome having others like mo'creatures and decocraft back updating again, now that i know that tropiccraft is back im going to put it again on my worlds :]

[@Veeesper]

I always wanted to play this but never had a PC, I hope they add more stuff like this to normal Mc

[@Myguy-pi6vz]

When you asked "whats an old mod you think of" all i could think of was the sandwich mod from The diamond minecart.

[@Myguy-pi6vz]

:)

[@saviorbob]

Honestly the pineapple misunderstanding is pretty understandable when both parts of its name are both from trees

[@DRAGNIL68]

i also did think pineapple's grew on trees until i remembered this mod when talking to a friend

[@GreaterD]

Funfact, Pineapples not only grow from bushes close to the ground, a Pineapple is actually a bunch of singular berrys fused together

[@Idlecreeper]

Good afternoon Squiddo! 😊 I did not skip to 1:20, TF WAS THAT BLOOD?!?

[@Yegor_Mechanic]

?

[@SprayInk-And-CritGlitch]

I remember a mod that includes technological weapons and devices of mass destruction, it is the same mod that included the TSAR bomb.

[@Galaxyboy_YT]

The tropicraft developer actually worked on 1.19

[@FirstLast-oe2jm]

Pineapples are bromeliads, which means they're technically more closely related to grasses like wheat and rice than they are really ANY fruit tree: citrus, aplle/pear/peach/apricot/cherry, berberry vine, vitis fruit, etc

[@lynnclaywood4043]

Oh man clay soldiersss too. I need a nostalgia modpack

[@Cotton538]

YOUR REACTION TO SEEING THE MOOBLOOM IS SO CUTEEEE

[@SlamWeasel]

Tropicraft probably didnt get so much love, because it was overshadowed by a much more impressive one back in the day, that was bundles with it / dependant on it; The Weather Mod, that improved the weather effects and added full on Tornadoes

[@pldodd7476]

I loved this video!! Would you be open to more silly mod reviews/plays like this one?
