I Survived a RAID in Survival Minecraft! | How to Enjoy Minecraft Episode 6

Today's episode is a bit of a different one: We're taking a break from building and exploring to help out our good friends in the neighboring village! We owe our success to them, so let's add some defense measures and engage in a heart-pounding battle to keep them safe!

[@SoupSoupOfficial]

This episode is a little different... no fancy building, just some good vibes (and maybe a bit of nostalgia for the early days of Minecraft...) Hope you enjoy! Leave your ideas for the village name here!

[@GuardianSyncs]

1. Souptopia 2. Axolotl Haven 3. Horse Haven 4. Gilshire 5. Brothburg 6. Equine Meadows 7. AxoVillage 8. Soupshire 9. Horsington 10. Gil's Grove

[@Yourpookie_81]

Have been wating forever for this post! Your vids are amazing keep up the great work!

[@pandel1273]

Name for the Village: HomeHome

[@shgamer2437]

how about "Soupsoupville"/"Soupville" for the village name?

[@MHCubing]

How about soups haven? Love your videos! Keep up the great work!

[@witchofthemidwest615]

You should name the village Bisquedale. Bisque is a type of thick soup that contains shellfish, which is great for a village that fishes. Dale is a suffix meaning that it's in a valley, and with all the mountains around that feels appropriate.

[@psychojester8242]

I think this is a great suggestion

[@DiamondPlays901]

this name sounds good and makes good sense. I think he should use this name

[@reagyman405]

Great idea! It kinda sounds goblin-y which is cool

[@kumoric]

So unique and smart 😵‍💫 I wouldn’t have thought of that 🥲

[@itztiny-zo2937]

This is a great name!! :3

[@peterfarrell66]

Great series! So touching how you “gave back” to the village and then subjected them to a raid.

[@SoupSoupOfficial]

Hahaha, well when you put it like that… 😅

[@levgame4703]

I’m so glad to see this guy grow, it’s nice to see someone with this laid back style that was lost on the KZbin scene gain popularity.

[@kahaladog7864]

Fish tank for gill above the stairs! That way you can see him every time you leave the house :)

[@FISHYHOOOPS]

Awwww! I love that idea ❤:)

[@smallfryestudios2071]

Oh my goodness as a midwestern the blizzard is absolutely insane we haven’t had much snow but constant negative temperatures days.

[@SoupSoupOfficial]

Yep, it’s brutal! Hopefully you’re staying warm 🥶

[@djhelek6389]

I have found your channel by an accident, but I'm really glad that it happened. It's amazing to see that some people are still enjoying minecraft in slow way, not rushing and doing big and fancy structures. I love that you want to find in yourself and us joy to play this game. You show that even if game has many many years it is still fun and amazing. I love your energy in every video, that you are enjoying even small details that you found or made. I don't know if you will see it but thank you for doing what you do, and i can't wait for more ❤🙏 Have a nice day

[@SJKSTAR]

I m found this channel by suddenly I think that is best😊😊

[@Atom53185]

Yeah same, his short was on my shorts page and I’m like “this looks good”

[@tahidislam7179]

Me too. I am also really glad

[@tom2009-ve4xo]

I searched up how to make vegetable soup and this guy showed up

[@Hybrid1798]

Same with me I was working on a project and I found this video all of a sudden and clicked on it and I have been attached to the series since and motivated me to play Minecraft again

[@prontozss]

Hey SoupSoup, thanks for keeping your channel family friendly, and not swearing in your videos. It's honestly so refreshing along with the chill vibes that your videos bring. So, thank you!

[@neutralb4109]

I love that about these videos

[@katherinec2759]

I was rewatching an old series that I used to love, and realizing that I can only watch it when my toddler is asleep, because I don't want her picking up the language they were using. It's really nice to have something "safe" to watch while she's around.

[@Mkactus12]

I love how Soup actually works to connect with his community. It’s so refreshing when someone tries to follow suggestions.

[@FaerieEnderHare]

again, I can't stress enough just how much you have inspired me. I have reconnected with the joy I once had when playing minecraft, and now it feels like I can slowly develop the world around me instead of optimizing every single thing around me to beat the game into the ground.

[@Ligotlemons]

villager build style goes hard RIP OG style villager houses

[@coachscott7868]

Your videos are great but, I was wondering if I could get a sign with my name on it “the cloudy”

[@Stardustial.]

Been enjoying this series since I found it a few days ago, so refreshing to see someone who doesn’t immediately set up 15 auto farms and takes their time and enjoys the game. Also as for the village’s name how about “ Soup Group City”

[@miskuhh]

Hi SoupSoup! I stumbled upon your channel on accident just yesterday, and I'm blown away. Minecraft has been a significant part of my life since I was little. About a year ago, though, I found myself in a bit of a gaming rut. The game that had been a safe haven for me during challenging times, and literally shaped me to who I am today, lost its beauty. Because of all the 'mega-base, mega-farm, challenge' content, it became something intimidating: a place where I felt the constant pressure to maximize every moment, as if my time spent in the game needed to be "productive." It was no longer about the joy of exploration and having fun. Instead, it wasabout performance and progress. The game that had shaped my happiest moments started feeling like a chore. It really sucked to lose that 'homey' feeling of the game. But your video's make me feel so nostalgic. They gave me that warm feeling again. So thank you for making these videos. You deserve every viewer. And hell of a lot more than that. Looking forward to seeing how this series will turn out and what awesome stuff you're going to create! But, for now, as you would say, let's just enjoy the journey ;)

[@SoupSoupOfficial]

Thanks for sharing! You have a great way with words. So glad you enjoy the videos!

[@colin5_]

or TownTown :D

[@fugginyeet]

Man i don't want this series to ever end. i've lost my interest in minecraft a while ago but after discovering you i wanna start playing again. I forget to just play the way i wanna play. Keep up the excellent content!!! I look forward to every new episode.

[@MachinedHaiku]

Hey SoupSoup, wanted to say your series has been such a breath of fresh air when it come to Minecraft content and honestly any let’s play. It’s really inspiring in terms of wanting to play Minecraft how I used to and what I’d want to do content wise at some point. So thank you and I look forward to many more of your episodes and see what other MC Content you branch off to! Also build suggestion, I see you’ve got a ravine around your front lawn if your base, perhaps build something inside of the ravine? Maybe somehow connected to your base somehow? Haven’t really seen many people build inside ravines before so I’d love to see your take on it!

[@SoupSoupOfficial]

Thank you, and I love that idea! Thanks for sharing!

[@Fiishstiicks0]

Videos like this not only give me ideas for my own worlds/realms but also gives me comfort that I don’t need to grind out for farms and have to immediately start working on killing the ender dragon. I’m able to go at my own pace and it’s nice seeing others do the same. I’d like to enjoy my time playing the game and not feel forced

[@manishkhadka6897]

Finally a new episode ❤.Ngl I checked your channel more than 5 times only to check if you uploaded any new videos...I have seen and followed a hundred's of Minecraft KZbinrs and none of them made me feel nostalgic like u did..Your video made me relive the Minecraft life once again and Thankfully it convinced me to return to Minecraft...I cant stop myself from enjoying Minecraft again..And hoping to see the next episode soon...Tons of love keep uploading ❤❤❤ Edit : Once again your voiceover is soothing made me watch it again and again😊

[@Gosuutou]

It's soo refreshing watching you. Actually made me go start surival and play like the old days. Probably my favorite world. Thank you.

[@cakewithoutcandle9443]

Maybe a decorative bookshelf desing for upper area of the door is kinda looks great... but you are the boss :33

[@LloydZyanRUy]

This channel is oozing with Dalasmed65 inspiration and I'm all for it. The Java version of the bedrock legend

[@BitFuzzball]

Thank you for creating this absolute masterpiece of a series. It brings me back to when I was still just learning how to play the game.

[@thebreakfastmenu]

Congrats on 10k subs! I'm really enjoying this series. And yes, the blizzard brought me -40 degree temps and 14 inches of snow. Thankfully never lost my internet. Also, you should improve the fishing docks in the village! I love making my fishing docks these big fancy docks with cozy lighting and roofs for nighttime and rainy fishing. Minecraft fishing rules.

[@exqdus03]

Yeah, I'm glad the crazy weather is over, so things can get back on track! And 14 inches of snow is a lot, I didn't lose internet either but no hot water for a few days!

[@H0RR0R_HANG0VERZ]

So, I’m fairly new at playing MC. I started playing bc of my daughters, but now, I’m hooked. 😅 Don’t tell my girls this, but as soon as they leave for school, I’m jumping onto MC & playing in my own lil world! 🤫 shhh lol - The thing I love about this channel & this series is the simplicity of it. It’s very “Noob” friendly. I’m learning and gaining inspiration and for that, I am grateful!! 💟

[@SoupSoupOfficial]

Haha thank you so much! That’s so fun to hear. Hope your little world is coming along well!

[@1Jaxol]

Speaking about naming the sword you could name it blue justice!

[@bridgestew]

You roaming around in between the saplings was making my heart race a bit. It could grow and trap you inside. It happened to ZombieCleo in the Life series. It's happened to me in a Skyblock world I was in. It's startling. hehehe

[@cobraesports6917]

Love tour serie, above the doorway you can put a sit for dogs you will be together with 🐶

[@nerfy219]

I bingewatched every episode yesterday. Can't wait to watch this one!

[@Joesbadatlife]

I'm glad to see you experiencing the game at your own pace and in your own way. That raid was rough, but you won in the end

[@LilHolyNugget]

I've been watching from the start and I have to say this style that you have done keeps reminding me about my childhood like stampy, Iballistic squid and DanTDM. I just want to say thanks and keep up the excellent work. I also can't wait to see how this channel and yourself evolve and wish you the best.

[@MaxHolleyBC]

For above the doorway, I have a couple of ideas: -A library/sitting room -A small indoor garden with some planter boxes (You could even put saplings in them because they won’t grow if there isn’t enough space) -Put up a wall of glass and make a tank for Gil

[@MrSwag597]

I think a great name for the village would be "Totem Town" because u got your first totem there.

[@Ronbonco_Studios]

Raids are some of my favorite parts of minecraft, as someone who isn't very good the the combat in the game I feel it to be a bit of a challenge to defend a village and I LOVE IT!!!

[@s109apache7]

The og mc legend is back! I found this channel randomly and now I’m attached i miss these little letsplays feels like a og letsplay channel I think all of us a Veiwers would love to see you keep going on this humble world

[@portalmastergav]

It’s been a few years since I’ve actively tapped in to a Minecraft LP serious, thank you

[@lilschmea]

Absolute best new MC survival series! It's somehow slow and steady, and yet so much more satisfying! ❤️ Keep it up!

[@foxpokemonforever4775]

The way you talk to mobs is so relatable, I do that all the time when playing Minecraft lol. Maybe you could call the village TownTown, to match SoupSoup and HorseHorse 😆

[@tosiaa.a]

hey soupsoup!! in Poland's mountains we have also have -22 in fahrenhait hah (if i counted right) and I saw your new video just after my english final exam and you have made my day so much better! thank you for posting those videos, they are so relaxing and funny, I saw someone said that they're ,,the relaxation they never knew they needed" and i feel the same way!! Youre amazing soupsoup and of course we would like to see more of your ideas here! cant wait for the next episode!!

[@srra1787]

I love how you take some from Dallas like the no mending rule and house expension but you still have your every own style ! I love the music you put in the background (especially when you were doing the question of the day) and the montage is good ! From a French!

[@ElP0]

The idea of a secret armory with resources to defend the village it brought back good memories!

[@CubedCanine]

Quote of the episode: "I'm full of coffee and pastries..." 3:31 Btw, you should know you have a really nice voice! It also always sounds like you're smiling.

[@StatikKillers]

I would love to see more content from you! Just keep the chill calm vibe you give off and I'll be majorly satisfied!

[@barbiermusic]

I love so much these videos! It's so laid back and relaxing to see the small progressions instead of a mega-build per video. Much more down to Earth :D Really nice!

[@BrynSmith76]

Maybe the village should be called phoenixville because after that raid, its population needs to grow from the ashes. Keep up the great content.

[@noahonschoolwifi]

Been stuck inside for almost two weeks due to the weather and will probably start a minecraft world like you are right now and play through my teenage into adult years

[@bronx_1547]

Above the doorway you can put a small little table with two chairs if you're going for looks, but if you're going for the use of that space then maybe a few essential items can be placed in a barrel as you're heading out so you don't forget it whilst getting lost. Love your content

[@IloveROOSTER]

Great video as usual, amazing gameplay, fantastic editing, and sets the perfect mood.

[@sillyskrta]

I love this series u made me love Minecraft again now I can feel like a kid again

[@owhisp5024]

I love these videos, they have inspired me to make a survival world and just build like I used to and not live up to anyone else's expectations, it's actually fun again!!

[@andwiy]

i think u could name the village Etheria. I once read a minecraft book that talked about a villager becoming a warrior and the great village in that book (where every player met and bought stuff) was called Etheria. This actally brings me so many memories lol ❤

[@otmTDB]

Hey man, found your series today and this is really great stuff. Enjoy it because I think these will be the most fun times as a youtuber. Keep making great content 😁

[@gleamingcolt]

Upgrading the villages without completely destroying it is something you don’t see anymore, Edit: also, you should put some plants or a small S for SoupSoup

[@srlukesino]

Im so happy to have had one of your videos randomly recommended to me, it inspired me to pick again my favourite game of all time on my phone and i got an incredible world full of opportunities! Its sad that i dont have the same friends or the same amount of time i used to have to play Minecraft, but its great to see that it still brings me joy no matter what. Thank you so much for this! As for my question for next video, i wanted to know: what is your favourite biome to work with/build around? As in what biome sparks your creativity and brings you joy to spend time on the most?

[@clueless8871]

I love this series man i'm very glad it came up on my feed although I see gill wanted to come for an adventure too when i saw him on a house at 13:54 anyways keep up the great work i am very excited to see this world expand well i eat lunch

[@bigbeacom]

This series is really fun to watch. I really miss when survival was about playing Minecraft instead of building some massive farms

[@douglasnotdoug9549]

For the little nook on top of the door, you should put some bookshelves. Maybe you can use the new chiseled bookshelves up there!

[@Thathimsguy]

Thank you for one of the best series on KZbin

[@mariokenesane]

Im so glad i found your channel. The relaxed style of editing and gameplay just reminds me of classic 2016 minecraft lets plays. You inspired and motivated to get back in the game again, and take things slow, enjoying all the beautiful aspects that make a Minecraft world

[@ChaseProductions18]

This episode was great! I genuinely can’t wait for the next one! You should name the village golemville!

[@Julian-rx7dd]

loving the series ma frind! - remember you sometimes can get cheaper repairing of tools by switching the placement of the two original tools ^^

[@paranoid_android229]

In that little alcove above the stairs you should put a little potted garden with maybe some vines or more lamps! I love this series and you are inspiring me to play again :)) thanks SoupSoup

[@pepavintr61]

Great series, i am definitely start my own world and play it slow like that, it looks like so much fun 👍

[@nikibogwater6598]

I love this series soooooo much. The editing is fantastic, and the videos have all been engaging without being loud or overly flashy. It's so cool to see someone on youtube actually *playing* vanilla Minecraft, not just rushing to automate and maximize everything so they can get to their mega-builds faster. I've always wanted a series like this, so I'm very happy I found the channel. ❤Question: How long have you played Minecraft, and do you still remember the first time you ever played it? PS: If you really want to commit to the theme, you could always name the village "Village Village."

[@reagyman405]

Hey soup, yes we would like to see more videos, that would be fun.

[@MillerMighty]

The Bob Ross of Minecraft

[@arroyo2643]

I love this series so much, im looking forward to more episodes!

[@logcu]

Still always look forward to this series, and theres a lot of snow in western Canada too.

[@wonton9089]

Congrats on 10k you deserve it man

[@Ooshie_]

This episode was a great one it also inspired me to start my own survival series.. For the village I have a name for it you can call it: old towne Or: Hometown haven Cause it reminds me of the days we used to set up our base in the village

[@NotSoCrazyRose907]

My brother, sister and I all think it could be cool if you put Gill above your door, it might look weird it might not, but keeping Gill in a bucket can't be too fun for him, no room to stretch

[@FatBoyBlues]

In reposting this from last video since I posted it so late. This is the best thing on KZbin. . As someone who's played Minecraft for years and years it's dang refreshing. Hope it continues for a long time and more success comes your way man. Question of the day for me. What things apart from this series are you really passionate about and what got you into them?

[@LloydZyanRUy]

Never thought I would be watching MC let's play in 2024. But glad I found someone like you. This channel is so chill

[@SoupSoupOfficial]

Haha thanks for hanging out!

[@SlumpRL]

This series is so calming I even use this to fall asleep you've been helping me sleep thank u

[@ThatGumGuy]

I think Soup Town or New Soup City would be really good names!

[@CluelessMapping]

I love the series, keep it up. Also, my suggestion for the town would be Heavenly Town. Why? Simply because after you made it look a little better, it looked like Heavenly in my eyes. Maybe i am the only one who thinks that but oh well ;) Also, i think it fits, Heavenly Town getting raided by the Devil 😄

[@Pepsi_Cola]

I have a strong feeling this guy is going to have a crucial role in reviving Minecraft KZbin

[@theonlywildslayer]

I think it's be cool if you made an enclosure on the spot above the stairs for Gill, it'd be a upgrade from his bucket. Keep up the amazing work! You've inspired me to get back into Minecraft after not playing for months because I didn't know what to do, Thank you.

[@Penguinisyes]

Hey SoupSoup, I just found your channel and I think your content is so fun and exciting! your so humble too which just makes me happy. love your videos man ❤

[@DaddyPoes]

Im so glad i found your channel. Its really calming for me. Thank you

[@iamfrench2]

Dude I love this series it feels good to find a Minecraft video that’s enjoyable and not like everyone else just trying to get views. You actually enjoy the game. Really appreciate this series man 🙏

[@Cringe-lord0]

I do this every time I visit a village! Gotta help out those Squidward people somehow! Awesome video!

[@usmanulghani7777]

Question for next episode : Are you making minecraft youtube videos just for fun or you want to become a full time minecraft youtuber? (Please pick meeeeeeeeeeeee) Btw love your unique content style, I am a big fan...

[@AHalo2019]

This was best video. Loved it .

[@kumoric]

About the different videos, I would love to see some other videos! I still love this series, but an occasional one-off video about something else would also definitely be welcome!

[@Snowman5100]

This was the best thing to get me started in the morning. Just came back inside from breaking ice in my cows water troughs and to see this in my notifications made my day. Stay warm!!

[@KristianNeblung]

In that little spot infront of your stairsnby the entrance, I thought It would be cool to have like a wall of achievments or something. Also great vid :)

[@auragaming7411]

I randomly found your video on my feed and decided to hop in...lemme tell u i actually bingewatched every episode from the beginning right upto this video....i love the cozy vibe of your videos and i agree with your take on minecraft...we often get overwhelmed by the absolutely massive builds by youtubers and get depressed when we cant reach that level or not as impressive forgetting why we love this game to begin with...we forget to relax and enjoy playing and often get bored or tired trying to build things over the top....at the end its our world and if we don't get inspired to play anymore because of building absolutely the best world with all the massive resource gathering and stuff its no point anymore.....also i subscribed to you...i think i like the way you think and your video presentation is very good too...best of luck to you and lots of love....ill stick by you and your channel from now on and try to play myself again for fun and inspiration ❤❤❤

[@Karmadillo-qh3jv]

Ey its good to drop the building supplies and explore the world every now and again. Plus I always loved the story you could create with a raid.

[@towb-y4m]

Put a mini garden above your staircase. Love the content!

[@bwDcmdo]

love youre content man!! please make a castle!

[@RafeBeavers]

Village name: Oundle, it's a nice little cozy name just like this series! its also a little place in England side country where I used to live. If you named this place after the town I could never thank you enough.

[@madog561]

Loving this series so far!! Definitely seeing the inspiration from Dallas' series whilst still keeping it your own thing, its awesome man!!

[@titledwizard5849]

CONGRATS ON 10K!!! You are the most pleasant guy and you totally deserve this incredible milestone!

[@sn0ipe333]

When you’re building in Minecraft’s old style, try using cobble instead of smoother blocks like stone bricks. Cobble serves as a contrast breaks up the monotonous pattern you have with the oak planks, and it’s partially why you weren’t too happy with your builds: the sections somewhat blended together. Best of luck!

[@ModivaCubing]

Hi SoupSoup You are a great KZbinr. Stumbled upon your channel the other day. For next episode could you answer my question of what your favorite Minecraft block is.

[@hermeschase4113]

Hello there SoupSoup, i am really enjoying your series and you even inspired me on creating a more laid back Minecraft world and i must say, i've been enjoying the game a lot more playing that way lol I had a question, since you already died twice on this episode, do you have any plans about doing anything with it? Maybe building a memorial or a graveyard somewhere in your world, maybe even showcasing an object or piece of equipment you were holding when you died. In my world i've started building a mausoleum and a graveyard, placing chests under the tombstones and filling them with a few items before burying them, i've even got to "bury myself" a few times afer i end up dying, so maybe you could do something like that in the future lol Keep on the good work man!! I'm loving your series! We need more Let's Players like you who embrace the more classic eras of Minecraft in their videos lol

[@Lumberjack_king]

It’s always a joy when you upload it’s refreshing to see someone just enjoy playing Minecraft

[@rskoop4121]

Suggestion for the Village: 1) Broken Bridge Estates 2) Vanilla Village

[@darkstar2563]

The village should be called town town, keep the tradition going 😂😂

[@The_Iron_Dragons]

Dude your video made me shed a tear man minecraft has gone down hill with all farms and all the mega builds. I love your content and cant wait until episode 7.
