How to Enjoy Minecraft Again

[@Phantaztica]

this just reminds me of the good ol' days of minecraft just playing for fun that's what minecraft is all about

[@YALLAHELLA-pk1gh]

Real and a nice upload schedule not like those other KZbinrs

[@ItzThunder2337YT]

The calm Minecraft. No screams. No unstable behaviour in talking. No crazy things. Just some calm good ol' minecraft. Takes me back to the olden days

[@shadowayoutuber]

Yes and i wish minecraft is free for everyone😥

[@shadowayoutuber]

@Daboisofabilitiywars yeah

[@Glowheaven-v7b]

​@@shadowayoutuber I wish but minecraft needs to be payed to play because if not the mojang studio will go bankrupt! So if that happens there will be no more updates.

[@flavor3485]

@@Glowheaven-v7bthey make most of their money from bedrock micro transactions. there’s no reason for the base game to cost money anymore in my opinion

[@Glowheaven-v7b]

@@flavor3485 good opinion!

[@Ligotlemons]

I've literally never completed the game on my own and tbh I don't want to. I like my ugly house, mismatched blocks, patchy farm, and neglected farm animals. I really enjoy your take and I look forward to seeing more of your content. I love the pacing.

[@autisticflyingsaucer]

this is so real😭😭

[@Ethan_24754]

Your playing Minecraft how it was made to be played 👏 Good job

[@ilikebeans9380]

Man I miss torturing every mobs.

[@RedIsAColour]

Not the mobs 🌚

[@monicaskrzypczak5023]

your use of replay shots to further tell the story and make us feel like we're walking around the world with you is goated. Like you think it's just an establishing shot of you going down the hill, but then you take damage and you have the comical turn back around to stare at the offending block that was too high up, or walking around the village but you notice the overhang on the well. It's so subtle and so beautiful. Also I cannot wait to see all your builds, you play your skills really close to the chest, taking it slow, obv, but you are already adding SO many tiny details to the dirt hut that only a builder would think of.

[@wojtekwoyciechowski5385]

Its nice to see, that there are still people who enjoy minecraft (like me), not speedruning, nor doing some crazy bulids, mod etc. Just good to know, that old minecraft is not dead.

[@amypetty5013]

It's important to remember that casual players like us actually ARE the majority. It's not a question of there "still" being such players. We've always been the majority. The KZbin demographic of speedrunners and X-challenge runs for ANY game, any game at all, is NEVER representative of that game's fandom as a whole.

[@dariusstoica5614]

For the past years I've been watching things like Hermitcraft, even wanted to do some mega base of my own, speedrun through the beggining, but now I remembered about my first world which has been long lost where I've had the most fun. Started out with a cubical dirt hut, after which I settled down by a lake, got a very cubical house, but it was nice. it was the only world in which I had a dog and a horse. I remember building these farms that you find in villages, but stacked on top of each other and also the mine, I had so much fun building a railway over the river to the mine. It was all so ugly, but damn was it fun

[@SoupSoupOfficial]

It’s all about the process! So glad I could help you remember your first world. It’s such a special feeling!

[@dariusstoica5614]

@@SoupSoupOfficial Ye, I feel kinda sad that I won't be able to discover Minecraft again as I did back then, not from 0 since I had watched a lot of gameplay before having started, but quite close to 0. However this series is incredible, you are just showing us that it doesn't matter how much minecraft you know, you can have just the same amout of fun, heck, you are building beautiful stuff I never thought about building just because it would be "a waste of time" or because I'd rather keep materials for future stuff, not realising I was barely enjoying the game. hope your channel grows. ps: damn you have a calming voice

This came along at the absolute perfect time, I've been wanting to get into minecraft, and I have been looking for a series of someone just playing minecraft casually

[@solarfishysticks4496]

One of the things that always helped me enjoy the game more was giving myself a single shulker box of my color choice, and turning keep inventory on. That way I could collect things and not worry about it

[@crow_fluff]

this video is so well done and nostalgic. also, that's the fanciest dirt hut i've ever seen, well done lol!

[@packerjack87]

I’ve been getting back into Minecraft beta. I never thought I’d like it but I gave it a try and discovered the entire golden age community around it. I think the mix of nostalgia and simplicity are what make it so special

[@stargazer8465]

Finished the video now, and thoroughly loved it! Really enjoyed the off person camera with what you are saying in game (rather than a voice over) really made me feel part of your world, and the music is so relaxing. Looking forward to episode 1!

[@JerooMinecraft]

this video got me so excited to play minecraft again and for more of your series to come out. I have barely played Minecraft this year I always felt burnt out when I would start an insane mega project that was unrealistic to get finished and give up but this reminded me of the smaller things that make the game enjoyable. The music you use is also super cool

[@sethost2548]

Watching this after the other two episodes because you deserve the engagement and this is exactly the goal I had in mind in my recent return to minecraft. I'm putting effort into making my world in a way I haven't since I was much younger and it's really rewarding so far, thanks :)

[@stargazer8465]

Wow! You hit the nail on the head with the start of this. I feel exactly like this when watching Minecraft videos which I love. But this has all the charm that I love about Minecraft, with phenomenal sound, music, and editing! Keep going and you'll go far with this!!

[@durigala]

It's honestly highly refreshing to see a series dedicated to how to enjoy the game again as well as another creator making a similar style of relaxing content. It feels very personal and close to the heart rather than an abstract and far away idea. Thank you so much for making this series with the quality that you do, Soup. You've earned a sub and you most definitely deserve it 🙌🏾🔱♠️

[@cctb6800]

Clicked on this expecting a video essay, not disappointed at all. Honestly, the concept of this is brilliant and well laid out, I look forward to seeing your journey here - Hopefully, I can try some of the things you do and get inspired to play Minecraft again myself!

[@Lurkingstill]

Excited to start watching this series. Subbed! Always prefer this play style but never found anyone who does it!

[@habsnyc]

Ethoslab been doing it for years, but I love this guy too

[@baehlar9077]

I love this. No mods, no bonuses, no addons... just the love of Minecraft. Yes sir!!!! Instantly a subscriber running across this video!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@FlyRetroGamer]

This video remind me of old minecraft youtubers... So nostalgic. Like why doesn't more people make these type of videos?

[@MineCraft-nz9pg]

Its always like "Surviving 100 days in HARDCORE minecraft🤬🤬🤬" 🤣🤣

[@Kris5x3]

slow pace minecraft videos dont do well, attention span keeps getting shorter so new fast pace editing and doing more and more advanced things need to be done to get views.

[@MineCraft-nz9pg]

@@Kris5x3 well i think that makes a lot of sense .

[@DEERCRACKERLOVER]

Money, since most of Minecraft creators have a team and the money from videos is paid for the team etc, just some typical corporate stuff

[@itsanoformethanks6277]

Most Minecraft KZbinrs have been playing every day for 10+ years. Keeping it simple probably gets boring when you know so much about the game

[@OrangeHead-iy3uk]

Saw one of your shorts and decided to give it a shot im a little late to the party but i look forward to this series, makes me feel joy.

[@eltonsstuff]

Wow, your voice is real soothing, aside from how easily you survived the first night, this really brought me back to the early mc letsplays. Back then, the early game used to really invoke that feeling of lonliness. I feel enjoying minecraft doesn't have to do with how we play the game. It has to do with mojang who have no idea how to be game devs.

[@MetalHail]

I love how you’re different from the other KZbinrs. Instead of rushing and doing 100 days in Minecraft, you relax and take things slow which makes this game so fun. Can’t wait to watch this whole series!

[@ハーフ-r1m]

It's really a breath of fresh air seeing something like this. Funnily enough before I even watched this video today I started up a new hardcore world and spent my first 10 days just running around exploring and had a blast. Usually I'd try to run through the game, trade with villagers and stay in a village the entire game but instead I just spent time running through the world and it was so much more fulfilling. I'm glad I'm not the only one tired of seeing those megafarm and megabases on youtube and realizing just how time consuming and grindy it is to make things like that.

[@ElderSteak5]

I haven’t watched a calm video like this in forever. Thank you so much 🙏

[@Thought_Cloud]

I remember years ago I just hopped on with friends and played in our survival world. We didn't have op gear or giant bases all over. It was just us spending time together wondering what will happen next.

[@ELCHAPO-eq2fs]

super chill video, and super relaxing to watch. I appreciate people like you who make stuff like this for us. Cant wait for the next one!

[@Beeney3]

I’m not even kidding this is the third time I’m watching this series in the past 2 days that’s how good it is. I think it’s safe to say that Soup is now my favourite KZbinr.

[@albertgerardbautista2138]

This is the true essence of minecraft. You have earned a sub my good sir.

[@insidedivano4221]

nice video! Finally a minecraft series that the content creator doesn't scream at me every 2 seconds, and didn't completed the game in the first episode! You just earned a subscribe, I hope this series will continue!!!

[@geeatsu]

Ugh. So good. That's what I missed about Minecraft videos: the simplicity. Your channel will grow a lot if you stick to it.

[@ghellko]

This is really underrated, I didn't expect this video to be so professionally laid out. I really liked it, thanks for making this. I hope you keep making content like this. :)

[@doggo1603]

This is so casual, and the calmness of your voice is refreshing. definitely a series I will watch!

[@silverspqrtan6988]

Can't believe it took me 4 weeks to come across this gem. The climate of Minecraft on KZbin really has made it hard to enjoy it like the good ol' days, but this video really.. JUST... works. Thankyou for this gift, playing the game with no goal but just to explore.. travel.. enjoy.. take on things as they come. This is so well made and you deserve more viewership. You my good sir, have earned yourself a subscriber. I can't wait to see what you get up to on this in-depth, enjoyable and lore rich world, and taking us back to the ROOTS of this lovely game!

[@Daafjee]

Your voice is so monotone but yk i kinda fk with it. Somehow this video makes me so happy just with the happy music and no screams or loud noises or too much editing. Definitely earned a sub from me 🙏🏼

[@janieisbored]

Just found your channel after watching a few videos talking about how Minecraft doesn’t feel the same anymore. I’m so glad to find a channel that doesn’t over edit and isn’t caffeinated with constant subtitles flashing on the screen. Breath of fresh air for sure!

[@TrulyFailedReal]

man your underrated I love the survival aspect of not speedrunning and building planets and trapping every mob. Ive always enjoyed these type of "let's plays"

[@CoolProgramer123]

I have been playing in a world like this for a couple months, can’t wait to see what you build

[@iNeon-03]

I think we all have those Minecraft phases where we don’t play for years straight, then randomly become addicted again

[@codyofearth]

"Why do we play Minecraft? For the joy of discovery." That is exactly how I feel. I have always had my best experiences playing this game when I slowed down and took my time. Really investing in the world and spending time exploring everything this game has to offer. Trying to rush through this game and build massive farms to try and keep up with what others are doing on KZbin always leads to rapid burnout for me. I love the pace and thoughtfulness of this video. I wish more people made videos like this!! Keep up the great work! 😊

[@Rwfcmobile10]

Bro this just melted my heart ❤️ the good Old days of Minecraft just hit me , u just gained a new sub 😭❤️

[@gingerfloofy]

Whenever I take a break from playing Minecraft it's always so nice that I come across videos like this. It makes me want to play the game again. :)

[@Litestrike]

What a great series! It's nice to see a refresh with the amount of saturation Minecraft content has had lately!

[@AntiThotPatrol]

The thing that got me back into Minecraft was to be nomadic and explore the world. I don’t focus on building (mainly because I suck at it) or defeating the Ender Dragon. I take my time and enjoy the game. The Caves and Cliffs update has made me really start playing the game again as I love the feeling of crawling in cramped spaces and entering into a wider and beautiful cave system. To me, finding every mountain range or cave is new to me and keeps me playing the game.

[@g.m.g.to_o2469]

this video was on my recomended bcuz im burning out on minecraft, but this video help me bcuz you just made me realize that minecraft its a slow pace game like when we all played minecraft for the first time, the terror of the first day on your new world bcuz you don't know how to survive the first night and you just explore when you just got in the world and not like now that you go to a tree and start punching it and go mine iron and find diamonds already in an hour, you just made me remember that time when I was 12 or 13 y/o when I was playing minecraft multiplayer world on the ipad with my brother and we just go with it in that world, we just go and create what was in our immagination and while the time passes and we grew up older, I kinda lost the meaning of playing Minecraft and Thank you for making me remember what it meant, and you got a new Subscriber

[@benji-menji]

Something I might want to try next playthrough is to do more than just search for cool stuff in the world gen. My last playthrough never stuck as long as I wanted because I don't think the things I saw were ever complete. Instead of just leaving cool world gen as is, I should make something there to strengthen the connection and give them their story. It helps to sell myself and those around me what I imagine and gives me what I need to look forward to. That along with tweeking the game settings like keepInventory and spawn being set even when the bed is destroyed might be what I need to create a game to remember. Minecraft is not just a system, it's also a canvas. Not quite like Dwarf Fortress where you build the world to create your stories to be recognized as your dwarves make the story with you, but more so that you need to use your tools to built the stories as a whole.

[@Ethan_24754]

This is how Minecraft should be played not rushing to beat the game or getting diamonds just relaxing

[@abnormality3345]

You did it. I actually wanna start playing Minecraft again. You actually restored my passion. Thanks, man.

[@IAmTheNobodyYT]

Here is my advice, as I have succeeded: 1.take a chill pill. You don’t need to get netherite within an hour. Take your time. 2.make it different. You won’t want to play if you don’t remember it. Make a different base, play differently. 3.Enhance the game. Minecraft is a sandbox, an empty canvas. Install Lunar client and customize your game. If it feels different it will get you through the early game.

[@CooISkeleton96]

There will *never* be another game like Minecraft.

I totally agree with you man, Minecraft when I used to be in 4-5th grade used to be so much fun, but now I miss the same feeling, i wish I could feel it the same way I felt it first time. KZbinrs like you , another guy named 'low res bones' really motivate me to start playing again. Minecraft is not about becoming the most powerful, its more, it's about exploring, crafting , building, farming and so much more ! I grew up with this game and i have soo so many memories attached with it. I am sure I will watch your series :)) also you got a sub ❤

[@inkyrainstorm]

I'm watching this series because I too am tired of just watching people build things just to make videos, the meta has changed in KZbin from comfort to needing to earn every step you take. You gave a backstory to a bike and just took a nice ride. Good luck man.

[@singing_canary4752]

I don't even remember the last time I heard someone laughing by just enjoying the game, this was really cool and heartwarming to see, really looking forward to what else this world will bring!!

[@M00N_IVY]

I really love your perspective because in a lot of ways its reflective of our in real life reality. We always want more to achieve and we forget that the simple stuff is the best part to appreciate. Not to say the big projects aren't impressive and growth is always important and you should be proud of it. But I feel we rush and sometimes our want for bigger and better can get in the way of us appreciating every moment. Your gameplay although simple is backed by a very grounded, excited to discover more commentary which is refreshing. With mods (although cool!) we start to criticize minecraft as if it is not enough you know? And yes we can always want improvement and minecraft is ever-evolving which is something to appreciate as well, but I think our mindset is the thing that can get in the way of us enjoying minecraft for what it is in this exact moment. I'm excited to see what you do with the place!

[@iamfrench2]

finally someone who understands the pain of not being able to find good minecraft to chill and watch. Thank you this was a great start

[@Arbythor]

Honestly this series is so entertaining, loved the first episode! Can’t sit to see it continue

[@RobertRoweMusic]

This was an instant-sub for me. I've always found myself "taking a break" before the next update, starting a new world, and then...repeat. I go into my most-current world, check on my farms, and that's it. Time to get back to the core gameplay!

[@carmen5984]

Amazing video. I started Minecraft again after a long time and was kinda lost what I needed to do and this reminded me to just go with it and slow down and don't rush too much. I Remember always building a dirt hut at first and will do that now again, thank you :)

This is what i needed,something unique,and u feel like the perfect choice for peacful minecraft gameplay.

[@giddledude]

I like how you just play Minecraft as you want to play. Though as a KZbinr I've noticed that some people just have fun making massive projects. I mean play how you want but I want to make farms and have fun building into the sky. I think this highlights the issues with other videos about making Minecraft fun again because they just don't get that it isn't about nostalgia but playing a game you love and having fun playing it your way. Great video!

[@Blushdow7]

Keep it up and take your time! ✨

”Given the opportunity, players will optimize the fun out of a game.” This kinda sums up the modern ideology of Minecraft's community... Its not always about the megabuilds and 100 days hardcore, sometimes its nice to just play the game and build smaller structures. Over time those tiny builds will add up to something big.
