[@frunzedragoshsigata3821]

Yeah, that's a vicious mind trap that makes the game boring instantly, it just starts feeling like work instead of game, and a lot of people don't realize it.

[@huk3028]

Yes, that's Enhanced Visuals. It has a bug conflict with Bliss shaders. Mods --> Enhanced Visuals --> Handlers --> Splash --> disable I am the same guy that wanted to fix the black screen Do those steps to fix it. Edit: THANK YOU ALL FOR LIKING THIS I'VE NEVER HAD SO MANY SUBS!!!!❤

[@Daniel-mj4wm]

A better way I've found to fix is is to turn off the "blur" setting in enhanced visuals. That way you can still have the cool effects without having the screen flash black

[@Skye_the_guy]

thanks bro that helped a lot

[@flowstatevideo]

Thanks dude that bug is very annoying

I found that switching to makeup ultrafast shaders fixes this problem, looks about the same, and has a little better performance

[@skyecase5968]

The way you play minecraft/talk about it has changed the way I think about the game. I always go for the auto farms and villager breeders, but thinking about playing how you talk about it, makes me realize what the fun in the game is, it's not about having everything at a moments notice with a million farms, so thank you for bringing my joy for this wonderful game back

[@notraseer]

I was thinking the same thing the way he plays is entirely different than how I play I immediately go for base I explore and explore only the above ground for hours till I find where I want to build and by that point I’m bored.

Yes, finally some good guy that enjoys Minecraft in a beautiful way and is so creative

With mods which is the only way you can really enjoy it. You can only play vanilla so many times before it gets boring.

[@br0wning]

@@Pherretfish depends how u play. if u prefer progression and exploration minecraft gets boring realllllyyy fast. if u get into red stone or building vanilla can be fun for as long as ur motivated to be creative with it. i understand why it gets boring for most tho

[@Foxy-od7xm]

I dont think minecraft ever really stopped being fun , its more like the community has worsened over the years

[@Nuclear-Owl]

Fr bro. Exactly what I think. And then the community tries to blame it on the game being boring and Mojang not being good enough.

[@shoo0127]

Fr it’s true for every game communities

[@iamtranq5673]

@@Nuclear-Owl i think its a bit of both, mojang is playing it wayyyy too safe imo.

[@Nuclear-Owl]

@iamtranq5673 yeah I agree that mojang hasn't been exactly great at updating the game. And I also get how that could make some ppl bored of it. But I also think that minecraft isn't the sort of game which relies heavily on updates and new content. The community is the main reason that minecraft goes downhill often

[@maitodargiyo69]

totally agreed

[@Tabethy]

Every since 1 year ago, when you made the video “How to enjoy minecraft again” I didnt enjoy minecraft. Then 4 hours ago I rewatched it and started playing minecraft again, just when i enjoyed it, you upload this video, titled “Minecraft is officially fun again” what a coincidence, and i gotta say, indeed, minecraft is fun again :))

[@peterschruff3055]

I like the message of "You have to make change, change doesn't happen to you." I had this uneasy feeling of something not being the way I want it to be since I was 13 years old and I had trouble narrowing down where it came from. I found out recently that I want to be a useful part of my parent's business and I now became their apprentice. Life is better now, I'm feeling useful. :)

I just want to say you are the ONLY KZbinr I know that truly shares the same mindset I do. The fact of taking your time and just taking in the beauty of Minecraft rather than rushing it and getting op tools and armor. Minecraft is beautiful, I love taking my time to explore and start small. Love your vids! Keep it up ❤

[@naterey7270]

I have fallen in love with your videos. I love your adventurous playstyle. I love the way you go from place to place thinking of how to improve it in the future while also trying to respect the places history as if you are actually exploring these lands. I love the way you edit the videos. The way you occasionally switch to third person shots to set the scene or how when you are underwater it actually sounds like you are speaking through a liquid. you have created a style of video that has incredibly re-immersed me into the illusive world of Minecraft and recaptured why I fell in love with this game over 10 years ago when I was a kid and for that I am grateful.

[@ZePuffyFish]

These videos are so much more than just Minecraft gameplay and I'm so happy that I found you. It genuinely makes me think about the future or self improvement and I'm all for it. Keep up the amazing work!

[@flowstatevideo]

Hell yeah dude

[@thomasaitken7495]

6:40 Those sites are full of suspicious gravel blocks. They have items in them as long as you use a brush. Otherwise, if you break them normally, or they drop, the item inside is destroyed. The sound effect is glass breaking. They have everything from junk to armor templates. You'll also find tools, crafting tables, and tons of terracotta blocks. Those sites are fairly big, and once cleared can make a good underground base.

[@SawyerWX]

I'm surprised that I hadn't seen any of these videos before, but I am glad that I found them now. I like the personality behind these videos as well as how you speak to your audience like your just sitting on a call just chatting away about life and what's going on in the game.

[@bovenzi2927]

newer fan lowkey, but your videos are real sweet man. very calm voice, your a very humble and smart person id say, lot of good advice and new perspectives on things. lot of stuff on my mind recently, w family issues, high school popularity, being shorter then other dudes and like missing a lot of people i shouldn’t miss. and while you don’t cover all those topics you encourage me to think more deeply on topics, i’ve found it easy to pray during your videos. Im a christian. and i gotta say dude there’s no way you won’t become one of the top minecraft youtubers. all the big names have “THAT” special thing about them that nobody can put their finger on, you got that to and idk what it is but your great bro, im 16 working out mid bulk, almost 3 year relationship i appreciate you for helping me appreciate everything. sorry for the essay im also baked

[@flowstatevideo]

Thank you I appreciate that

[@gr11ts]

That intro, the music, the camera shots, this video is a whole vibe that I’m all for.

[@cm-qy6rl]

6:32 those are trail ruins, the main archeology feature in mc; you need a brush to actual get loot from them, since brushing the "suspicious" sand/gravel that spawns in the structure drops items. the unique loot from them is pottery shards to make pots, and 4 different armor trims (which imo are not worth the trouble).

[@weekoldcheese1733]

your so right about when people rush to complete the game, they sorta forget the charm of minecraft; exploring and taking things slow. Personally, I spent 100 days just building a starter base trying to make it look as I pleased, which was lots of fun. Thanks for this amazing video❤

hi! I just wanted to pop in down here in the comments and let you know that you are truly awesome! The content you put out is really refreshing, super laid back, & relaxing. I love the bits of life advice and just the super lax talking during the gameplay, it feels almost like having a conversation with a friend. There are many youtubers out there, plenty of minecraft content, but you've differentiated yourself uniquely and entirely!

[@bersig]

That weird jumble of blocks was a trail ruins site. They have a lot of suspicious gravel in them. If you use a brush on the gravel you can find all sorts of misc loot, including pottery shards (that let you make urns with images on the side), armor trim templates (that let you decorate your armor), and smithing templates (that you now need to upgrade diamond gear to netherite). Trail ruins are actually pretty rare and hard to find.

[@romannumeralvii4285]

I am once again asking you to add farmers delight to your mod pack. It honestly will make you collecting from animals so much easier(knives) and will add way more variety to the food/farm system. It also is probably the most aesthetic and vanilla friendly food mod with the most versatility due to all the expansion mods others have made.

[@flowstatevideo]

It adds too many new items for it fit the vanilla+ theme of the modpack in my opinion

[@cwinchcarwash2629]

i'd like to touch on what you mention in 'Brief Talk 1', how you said "it's always how badly do u want it?" which I really disagree with. For so many things, not just like business/productivity success, people can want things so desperately yet have all kinds of things stopping them. When someone doesn't have any of those internal struggles it's easy to just say "bro just do it, like come on" but that really really helps nobody that actually needs it

[@flowstatevideo]

I agree but I think a lot of people who do have the means to change their lives simply don't want to. I'm not talking about the Indonesian rice farmer with no internet access, I'm talking to the people watching this video who obviously are living well enough to watch a Minecraft video on KZbin. Most people don't realize how much potential they really have

[@cwinchcarwash2629]

​@@flowstatevideo I like how you've worded that at the end, about people's potential. I think it's important to talk like that, in an empowering way to ecnourage people to do, rather than speaking judgementally and putting people down for not doing. I hope my wording makes sense lol Yes many people are living materially well, but mentally/internally they may not be, so I think promoting that self-belief & empowerment, and finding and aleviating internal barriers/negative-beliefs/emotional-scars is very important. Many people fall into judging others unfairly, thinking they're 'lazy' or un-motivated, by overlooking or just not seeing that aspect of things, and not realising things can internally be 20 or 100 times harder for another to do the same thing, even if they actually want it just as bad or even more So totaly we ought to help people see their potential, but with care in our approach and wording

[@cwinchcarwash2629]

You should definitely add Better Combat, to your modpack, it makes the weapon's fighting animations a lot better especially with the mod that allows you to see the player model. Also the video is really good, the cinematic shots are always amazing.

[@Armillaria]

I love how you play Minecraft, unlike every single Minecraft KZbinr you don’t speedrun to max enchanted nerherite god armor and tools. As soon as you get mending on everything no more exploring but now time for enderman farms. When people become so overpowered so early on all they do is build unnecessary builds for the rest of their 100 days. They get so boring to watch so fast. What I like about your gameplay is you take things slow and like to explore the world around you. While the experience does end up lasting less time because of how you play, at least you aren’t mindlessly building and grinding everything.

Have you ever considered purchasing a 21:9 monitor to record natively cinematic gameplay? I have one and the only downside for me is it makes recording 16:9 and switching between them pretty painful.

on the note of things like iron farms, they are actually my favourite part of minecraft. I love building, but i prefer building in survival because it feels more real to me. I love farms because they are part of the logistics of obtaining materials for building, much like we would do in the real world. aint no one gonna mine enough iron to build a cities worth of cars with a pickaxe, we will go dig a quarry or whatever. in minecraft that 'quarry' is an iron farm.

16:00 an external perspective is always benefitial. Because even if it doesn't prove your decision to be a bad one, it might make you more sure to make the decision you wanted to make initially which is progress anyways.

[@ivansoto9723]

I haven't played in many years. Only Forge existed back then. I can't believe how far it's come. I am actually hyped to set up a modded playthrough. I saw a video of Distant Horizons and have been craving a game with a sense of adventure in it lately. I was setting up a Fabric playthrough but realized half-way through that I'd be missing out on a lot of mods which is kinda unfortunate because I really like the launcher UI and modlist, profiles functionality. Kinda reminds me of Vortex or Mod Organizer in Skyrim.
