Let's Play Minecraft Like It's 2010 Again (Episode 1)

I can't do it anymore. Every single Minecraft let's play video ones-ups another one. That isn't me and never will be. I first saw someone building a planet Episode 1 in Hardcore, and then someone building a universe, and then someone literally build an entire GALAXY. It has to end somewhere... Let's all travel through the blackhole they have created into the good ol'days when everything was simpler. Welcome to Let's Play Minecraft Like It's 2010 Again. Subscribe and like the video if you want, I would appreciate it! Thank you all so very much for watching and I hope you have a wonderful day if you are reading this, whenever you are reading it :)

Instead of traveling a ton of blocks, he just completely made a whole new world!! 😊

[@Pythonator]

The description of this video reflects my thoughts on LPs (including Hardcore, 100 Days, etc) absolutely perfectly. I hope we see a return to humble beginnings and slower-paced LPs that folks can ACTUALLY follow and be able to relate to again, truly. Best of luck with this world bud 😃

This is the kind of series I’ve been hoping to get for a long time, I miss the og minecraft let’s plays so much. Thanks Neo!

[@alphafarlander]

I missed the old let's plays you used to do, I'm glad to see you doing them again

"I'm smart and I'm gonna make some shears." He says while making a second crafting table.

LOL you just me laugh so hard hahaha

[@J3LLY_B3ANIE]

I was laughing when he said that 😂😂

[@shelleycamp5954]

I know you put off regular let’s plays for a while because there was so much pressure around making them. I hope that this can be a fun and relaxing world for you! I’m excited to see you get back into it in a way that makes it a fun experience again

[@laurengray4232]

I've been looking for content that is not hardcore and not for 9067 days or 50 hours etc. Thanks Neo for keeping it OG.

[@adnaneassif56]

I see what you did here

[@samaypeshwani5166]

Please be consistent with this series and just complete it, don't end it in between I was waiting for this

[@driftyrobin_1265]

I am holding pure joy with this series, i was at some of my worst times watching the Lets Play Minecraft from a few years ago and you got me through some really hard times so to see something reminicent of that makes me so happy and gives me a lot of joy. 9067!!

[@Aspensauce64]

I appreciate this return to form, so many minecraft channels nowadays all pretend to be each other and do the exact same thing. The landscape is so saturated with over-edited videos of massive but kinda unimaginative builds that by now, it’s this kind of simple fun that seems special and extraordinary.

[@ApeiroNight]

THE THUMBNAIL GIVES ME TOO MUCH NOSTALGIA

[@CConde3407]

I love how the thumbnail is like the OG survival let’s play can’t wait to watch this!!

[@larinanne]

9067! Old school style, laid back, relaxing videos are the best, and they are harder and harder to find these days. Megabases are cool, but this video inspired me to play in my own survival world. Thanks, Neo!

[@travestyofme]

Been looking forward to this one for MONTHS!!!! So glad you were able to take a break and focus on things that make ya happy, Neo!

[@InfiniteDrift]

So excited for the start of this new series! Your videos have always been such an inspiration and they're so chill to watch

[@ThreeSheep69]

Oh hey InfiniteDrift :D

[@TheNeoCubest]

Oooooooo hi!! I love your videos :D nice to put on and listen to while I work :) I wish I could build as good as you D:

[@FlyGamingChannel]

I really hope this series does well for you and that you continue to enjoy it. It’s exactly the sort of content that I love to watch and it’s what made me subscribe to your channel all those years ago. Thank you.

[@infinity6170]

This reminds me so much of your old lets play series back in maybe 2019 or so it was a joy to watch and I hope this one is too

[@MrD4T4]

Did not expect that I would end up getting so excited about a vanilla gameplay but it is so darn nostalgic. I look forward to seeing more!!

[@eli-bb9qx]

i am so excited for this new let’s play series! i have been waiting for your let’s plays for months

[@fellowRaven02]

Welcome back to the survival mode Mr Neo!!!! I really missed you so much ❤

[@Dazzle-Ice]

Great first episode Lee! I've never actually liked videos of youtubers building huge bases or huge structures starting off. I want to see the progress. One reason why I like your videos is because you show yourself getting the resources that you need (unless it's a lot of mining or chopping trees lol, which I understand why you skip most of that). I like that you build things that anyone can build. Plus these days, it's hard to find a Let's Play where the creator talks to their viewers. Sure, the other youtubers talk, but then they immediately fast forward or put music on and then speed it up or edit out a good chunk of the video. The way you make them feels like an actual let's play. Also, if you start feeling burnt out, don't be afraid to tell us. Don't end the series. If you want to focus on something else because you're bored of the world, please do so and then come back when you're ready. I get bored of my worlds all the time (I have many because I like using a bunch of different texture packs lol). Or if you're bored of one spot, move to another area. I'm sorry this is long, but I hope you read it. Hope you and your wife are doing well and it's great to see you back doing Let's Plays! ❤

[@TheNeoCubest]

I appreciate the kind words and advice!!

[@andrewbell9565]

Good start for the series. Wonderful seeing your renewed interest in recording Let's Play. Hope you take it easy and avoid getting overwhelmed

[@rtester40]

I am glad to see someone doing an actual lets play. I dont know what happenedlately all you ever see is Hardcore 100 days, 1000 days ect. ect. itt seems after Dataless822, Friloth to name a few stopped making lets play videos for minecraft. Thanks for making these videos greatly appreciated. I personnally do not mind watching the boring stuff or long videos. EDIT: Oh yeah I almost forgot 9067

[@time-mars]

Excited to see the castle you build! Nice break away from everyone making gigantic mega-bases

[@swayamjoshi7667]

I was 12 years old when I started watching you for the first time and I was so much into minecraft ,then growing up I got distant from minecraft, Now I'm 20yrs old in college and just opened up your video to hear the same Intro you always do "Heyyy Guyss what is up TheNeoCubest here " gave me so much nostalgia. It's so good to watch your videos again dude keep it up

[@alexmalphas]

The vibe is incredible whenever I watch you. The atmosphere, your voice, the gameplay. Everything is just perfect. And the title you chose for this series is so fitting as well. It's exactly what I'd picture looking back to when I first used to play Minecraft back in early 2013. I grew up with this game and I've made so many beautiful childhood memories that I'll never forget. It makes me so nostalgic and honestlly I'm happy that I came across this game when I was little and I'm also happy that I came across your KZbin channel years ago. I used to watch your videos A LOT during the quarantine but then I just stopped for some reason. I kept the notifications on and always saw whenever you'd post a video or start a new series, I'm just happy that you're the same chill guy I remember and I just love what you do man. Keep it up!

[@TheNeoCubest]

Thank you for such a kind comment ❤️

[@MrThomasHandley]

Never clicked on a video so fast... glad to see you doing another let's play!!! Thank you for this much needed video! We missed you.

[@oscar4236gaming]

Why is Neo ALWAYS SO LUCKY with dungeons and seeds?

[@samantha_stitcher3208]

So glad for a vanilla play! I started watching you for these and am glad you can still enjoy them. ❤

[@c.o.8406]

Neo, I havent watched your channel in such a long time--like in a year in a half. Rewatching this gives me such nostalgia and happiness, I'm so grateful for these videos. I remember when u first commented on one of my comments a couple years back. Thank you for making Minecraft so fun to watch!

[@andrewbell9565]

Love the laid-back style let's play

[@nmikara]

i know python is gonna be happy about this! more people should be doing this

[@MiningTodd]

Agreed

[@Jerry3R]

I’ve waited to start watching this series until you got a few in so I can binge. Starting tonight. This first episode reminded me when I discovered you (your completely underground let’s play). This makes me happy! Thank you Neo!!!

[@emmamaxwell6494]

i love the longer relaxed let’s plays they’re so much more enjoyable than the fast paced ones, that’s the main thing i miss about 2011-2017 youtube

[@foxxomusicofficial]

So happy to have another vanilla let’s play series from you, Lee! Edit: 9067 :D

[@hastilymadestudios5243]

Finally a series I’ll actually watch from Neo

[@mehmeh8883]

This guy is a legend, loved his building tutorials and everything else. I love you are going back to the old style. Gonna watch every video of this series

[@srg_gopokes3893]

Yay! I'm so glad you're back to survival let's play! Keep up the great work Neo!

[@renaelovespugs2530]

Man, watching someone play Minecraft for 1 hour hits different

[@ThreeSheep69]

I didn't finish the this episode, but I'm already hype for the episode 2! Also will you stream on this survival world sometimes?

[@BlackArachnidXD]

Thank you for bringing back what I love most about Minecraft! I love free flowing let’s plays like we used to have!

[@leemitchell7190]

Hey Neo, was so very glad to see a new let’s play. What a wonderful world to spawn in 💜 As soon as you popped up from you GIANT staircase, I could see your castle 🏰 over the top of the valley. Spruce trees on the of the snow… was a bonus. Sitting on the edge of my couch for the secret 🤐 number 9067 … voice crack 🤪💜

[@TheNeoCubest]

:D

[@screamgod2_minecraftlover]

Yes finally 1.20 series let's go!!! 9067

[@caffeinebeast]

So glad you brought this series back. Love u dude🫶🏼

[@lemonas17]

9067 I remember watching your videos in 2020 when you were building your windmill. I'm so happy to see that these Let's Play videos are back!

[@Stayfocused-1]

It's been a year since I watched your videos... Still remember the let's play series with episodes on Saturday and Sunday and sometimes bonus episodes on Friday such good times ❤️... EDIT: I forgot 9047...

[@NoahNelson-ps9ot]

I wish they would add a cherry blossom village and make it op like the spruce villages

[@MiningTodd]

Yes!

[@Tilly883]

Been watching since the first let's play, stopped watching around the skyblock stage. Looking really forward for this series 💯

[@mattb_86]

Great seeing you back in a let’s play series. Your style and pacing of episodes are my favourite to watch when I want to relax.

[@Undercover_Pineapple]

Lee! This is so exciting! ❤ As someone who is Visually Impaired, I appreciate you reading the seed for us! Hope you're all doing well? Xx

[@TheNeoCubest]

I am doing great and I hope you are too :)

[@Undercover_Pineapple]

@@TheNeoCubest We are good buddy, thank you! I'm going back to school again in October! Lauren might have mentioned idk, but I'm so excited! Keep enjoying the let's play! 💜

[@Winnie-2609]

​@@Undercover_Pineapple and @TheNeoCubist Good to hear you are heading back to school. Best of luck. You can do this.

[@Isco.cpt2]

1st 🥺

[@flam3z895]

I haven't been watching you for such a long time but getting back into the videos I love the pop noise from the block and the jingle/ting sound from the exp with the slow one to one game speed you have created. Please keep up the good work and never give up.

[@zanetruesdale8336]

Just finished the episode. A few things I wanna say. First of all, I think not making promises or putting expectations on yourself is the best way to go about things. I had so much fun watching this episode - the fact that it didn't feel "planned" is part of the magic of Minecraft in my opinion. You never know what will happen next or what you will need to do next. And I think watching you have fun is more enjoyable for us as viewers. Secondly, holy moly how do you ALWAYS find spawners lmao. Thirdly, when you build the exp farm eventually, it'd be really nice to hear how you set up everything (collection, AFK point, rail system) and how to do it so we can learn as well. Keep living your best life Neo.

[@YounusSelim]

First 🥇 view

[@gamingcuber1458]

9067 I am super exited for this series and can not wait to see the castle build!

[@Bearded_Joker]

im glad your considerate enough for those viewers who have a hard time seeing the numbers thats one reason i like to watch you bc your very considerate of the viewers in general

[@JoelRipke]

Im glad youre back in LP mode. Your 1.17 & 1.18 LPs got me back into the game in 2021.

[@annejones1611]

9067. I’m excited for this new let’s play series, love that you’re taking it slow and enjoying it, can’t wait to see the castle once it’s built as I always struggle with building in Minecraft and I’m looking forward to getting some tips and ideas.

[@bekk457]

I love how excited you are for this series

[@d3wdr0ps]

I've never really understood when people say a youtuber inspires them to start a new world, but after watching you time and time again, I finally get it.

[@tiffanyirene1828]

9067! Thank you for bringing back the long let’s plays. I miss them so much.

[@rickysoto9194]

I used to watch lets plays about 10 years ago and I loved them, now I watch lets plays and there's too much going on, too much editing and stuff going on behind the scenes for me to enjoy. I recently got back into minecraft after about 8 years or so and I've been trying to find lets plays like this but no one seems to do them anymore. Thank you so much for making such a chill, easy to follow lets play. This is exactly what I've been looking for! P.S. you got my like for the lets play but you got my sub for the mw2 trick shot reference, Keep up the awesome work man!

[@desireeanderson7187]

9067, I missed this so much 😭💕 thank you for giving nostalgic memories

[@tahleasinparker3660]

Really excited to see you back again!

[@bluecooper901]

9067 I missed this type of content from you, I'm glad to have come back. This episode was so nostalgic

[@kampfgeist7703]

Im so excited for this cause I've always lovr the single player gameplays more then the server lets plays. I hope you can keep the series up for a bit.

[@probassfishing92]

I'm so happy that there is a new series brings back so many memories 9067

[@jaydeedichoso9813]

Honestly this is why I subbed way back, the basic title, calm demeanor, and just enjoying the game by itself with no need to satisfy or prove to any audience. Someone I can relate to who GENIUNELY just enjoys the games at it is, really really loved that you have picked up something that you genuinely love. Will keep on the notification for this one 💙 Edit: 9067 THE SECRET IS BACK AAAAHHHHH

[@Florymausi]

finally a nice and relaxing lets play that shows more of the adventuring and all that

[@lollersaqwescfgvh]

I’m glad you’re still making content. Not a lot of gamers just play Minecraft it always has to be some sort of challenge

[@hashtagrogue2455]

I really miss these old lets play videos that I used to watch as a kid. I see all those "I Built X Thing in Hardcore Minecraft" or "Minecraft But..." videos, and I think they're cool and all, but something feels off about them. Every Hardcore video nowadays involves the player beating the Ender Dragon in the 1st episode. That feeling of sorta playing along with the lets player is gone. They don't feel special anymore. They're all copy and paste. Finding chill lets play videos like this these days is very hard, they just dont make them like they used too anymore. I really appreciate this video, I hope you continue series.

[@christinbaumgatner351]

9067! So happy your doing this series! I have missed them so so much! But honestly make sure you are excited and you want to do these because I want you happy. You inspire me so so so much!

[@shaungomez9898]

9067 I am glad you're back on the LP series! It's been a while since I last saw some of your videos and I may watch some parts of your prolonged LP videos within a few days since I tend to be busy with other things outside of watching KZbin. Also, me and you are the same age except I am only about a few months older than you, probably finding out your age when you revealed how old you were turning in a December of 2020 Hardcore episode! I gotta say, being born in the same year and seeing someone my age becoming a talented KZbinr is pretty cool! Not trying to be jealous or anything like that! I miss the old 2020 hardcore series the most because that was very memorable and the way you made a quick design of the cherry trees gave me nostalgia to around the mid fall of 2020! Thank you for your entertainment and I will watch your second video at my convenience! Good luck with the 1 million subs! Shout outs from Boise, Idaho, USA

[@nobilidemistrux8353]

So glad to see you back for some more Chill Let'sPlay. I can understand taking a break for perspective, and I'm also super happy for you that your server is going well, but man I gotta tell you I had given up on this channel until this series popped up. Sorry I doubted you. I love your style/approach to vanilla minecraft, and I re-subbed to help get you up to that million.

[@Not_a_snake]

I’ve never watched you before but right off the bat. I’m really impressed because you read off things for people who are visually impaired. I am a legally blind, Minecraft player and to see somebody think of something like that means a lot.

[@futileelegy]

came back after a bit, love you neo

[@Burdushi_the_savior]

Jeeeez. I remember hearing your intro and i used to watch you two years ago during my night shifts at the hotel i used to work in. So glad you’re posting more minecraft againn!!

[@soulbirdsky]

I was actually happy you read off the seed for people who are visually impaired. Thank you for that!

[@alexe9095]

I started to watch you a while back then stoped and now back to watched and I forgot why I started to watch in the first place. Your style on videos I think are amazing. And I was so happy/surprised me that you read out the seed and It was such “different” in competition to others. Am very excited to continue watching this series🥰

[@amberzaki3726]

I just saw this on my suggestions and I’m glad I clicked on this. Your energy is captivating. I really knew I was going to enjoy your video when you read the seed out for us hard to see people and didn’t kill the momma pig because there was a baby. I’m so excited that you’re doing the old style Minecraft LPs because it’s discouraging watching people do these crazy builds and shove them into one video and I start to lose steam in my projects because I feel like I can’t keep up. Can’t wait to see how this serious goes!!!❤

[@rebeccaortner657]

So glad to see you back! I remember the OG spruce farm and saving Bob the Squid

[@ezzo9315]

The random Highschool break up story made me feel sumthin I love you neo

[@peachypina4473]

Thank you for making a video and talking about not having it be super fancy and all that. I appreciate that. Feeling like you have to create something super cool and fancy with good editing can really stop the creative process. This is a great let's play!

[@codingblind]

I just had to pause and say I appreciated you reading the seed. I am actually blind in one eye and very nearsighted in the other. It was indeed helpful. While I tend to play on easy difficulty, I still enjoy a nice relaxing session of Minecraft.

[@fabo2blazed380]

Bro thank u for being a chill laid back Yt for Minecraft this is my first video of u and now ily❤

[@DeltaInTheRain]

I love classic let's play stuff like this, just a friend playing Minecraft

[@niamh245]

I’ve never seen your channel before, but this came up in my recommended. I grew up on those “rambly” Minecraft videos (ihascupquake used to do an hour long, uncut video of Minecraft once a week and it was much like this), so it’s very nostalgic and comforting :) I will definitely be watching more!! Thank you for your rambles, and your thoughts on the current state of MCYT, you put my thoughts into words.

Hey Neo. I absolutely love your let's plays. I'm happy you returned. In my opinion, you never have to try to up yourself in you Let's play episodes. Everyone would still watch them.
