Minecraft Let's Play - Ep. 1: WERE SO BACK! (Minecraft 1.21)

[@iJevin]

Today's video is kind of a test more then anything. I'm curious to as to what everyone wants to watch. Feel free to leave constructive feedback here or in the community tab where I left a poll!

[@TrollHax1]

Sure would love to

[@ParallaxOfTheVoid]

Hopefully this video goes well

[@maxmakynen1821]

Is the title a Jetlag the game reference?

[@A_4_Ever]

@@iJevinI would like to watch more IJevin, idc if it's HC or singleplayer, I just want minecraft

[@kelley2270]

Any of your Minecraft vids are excellent

[@NikoSmeCo]

As much as I love hermitcraft and its social interactions, as a solo player its enjoyable to see how other single players build up their world, balance out the building and exploring and creat lore and storytelling.

[@harrywest5447]

I couldnt say more than this in my comment so i second this one!

[@meganlowder9648]

I love single player Minecraft episodes. I’m in my 30s now and I have been watching hermitcraft since season 3 and I am unable to keep up on it. I don’t have the time anymore. I miss being able to watch so many of you but I just feel lost now and always behind. Hope you keep up the series!

[@johanlahti84]

I have the exact same problem. Started in Season 3 with a few of the hermits, subbed to more and more of em. But started to fall behind and mostly hop on some of the hermits solo series now. Easier to follow along when time is a factor

[@deanbaker3418]

Beat the whole game in 1 episode!😂

[@Jay-yc3xi]

Watching Jev put mending on his NETHERITE pickaxe and then wonder if hed been to the nether was pretty bleedin painful. 10/10 would watch again

[@chunk0651]

Would love a slow play series, there's so much new content that's "Let me have the perfect start by finishing the he I'm 2 minutes or less". Love the slow grind.

[@laratinkler869]

I’m glad you’re continuing this series! These are very enjoyable and helpful for someone who plays alone and is looking for ideas and help in learning the game

[@ElvieBluebell]

I don't know if I am unusual, but I love watching the early game stuff. I like seeing players explore a new world and find a spot for a base. I like watching them grow simple farms and build simple buildings. I like the collection of animals and beautifying. Although I am always impressed with redstone contraptions, I can't do it myself. I would start a new single player frequently just to get the new experience.

[@WarpFieldStabalised]

Ayyyy, I was hoping this playthrough would be back at some point. Thoroughly enjoyed the first one and glad to see you're back with more!

[@MissGVS]

Whatever brings Jevin energy in the game is what I want to see. What parts are the most fun and exciting for you? Can you decorate for Christmas? What do you enjoy about single player? What makes Jev Jev? Anything you want to learn or practice or just chilling? What does chilling look like for you.

[@ProjectKhopesh]

Heartily seconded. I watch these guys because it's fun to see what they enjoy. That genuineness is one of the best things to show, especially as bigger entertainment companies are so facile, overproduced and political.

[@soomi]

I would love to watch you in a solo series, because I feel you have the right vibe and energy for it. Don't worry about Hermitcraft. I am normally one of those people who tunes in for Hermitcraft only for a lot of hermits, but for me you're one of the stronger solo players who can really hold up a solo series. No shade to other hermits before, just personal preference! I'd love to see a certain few more Hermits have solo stuff. It's so refreshing!

[@wowitscoldout1119]

Ive been really enjoying single player myself lately, and i would love to see this series continue!! I know the algorithm won't favor this series but i really enjoy the "just having fun" vibe this is

[@alysoffoxdale]

I do like to watch singleplayer. It helps me learn how to do the things that I usually rely on having other people to help with...except that I seldom have any friends available to play with. I suck at combat and always will, but watching you speedrunning taught me enough that a few months ago, for the first time in all my years playing, I finally killed a dragon in survival and actually got an elytra and shulker shells!

[@ItsJonBaca]

I’m glad this is back. Your single player stuff is good!

[@stevestogsdill5791]

Love a good Let's Play series. That's how I learened the most about playing, and how I got started watching MC videos and learning players I now watch in Hermitcraft and others.

[@stevestogsdill5791]

FYI, best way I've found to grind for flint is hit gravel blocks with a torch. I usually get much better odds than a shovel. Especially starting at the bottom of at least a 2-block stack.

[@Kalebs-Journey]

i will say jevin i never watched u a lot found a lot of u hermits from joel joining recently but omg you are genuinely a pro at minecraft like no funny stuff it’s so nice learning from you , you’re so calm and collected thru it all

[@Lotster55]

I love it, Jev. Hermitcraft is fun, but I think few people who watch it feel like they can get to that level, if you know what I mean. This is like a normal play-yhrough, Jevin style, which is incredibly fun but somehow feels more "achievable." I learn most of my Minecraft things from these kinds of videos. I will watch the crap out of the series.

[@MD-ot3nl]

I'm all for a single player world series. I'm happy either way, but sometimes I even prefer solo letsplays. I'm here for it, dude.👍

[@auntiex5343]

I would love to see an exploration series where you venture out from your spawn base with just your armor and tools and when you see something fun or amazing, you set up a small base and explore. You also set up a nether route back to spawn. When you’re done exploring that area, you go somewhere new! If inspiration strikes you for a build somewhere, build it and then set up a nether route to spawn. And remember to label things!

[@AustynBialke]

Finally man I've been waiting literal months. I love the let's play cuz it shows more of you i feel like and the solo adventures are always fun

[@zippyAnsatsu]

The sped up enderpearl teleport is an interesting sound, i wish normal enderpearls sound like that normally

[@katinkasabroe]

I just recently started watching you. And I really enjoy your video😄 this series seems fun 🤗🤗🐌

[@saffral]

Remember when you had to constantly move the mouse back and forth to recraft the same recipe? They updated it so it works like villager trading now. Press spacebar and it'll put back your last crafted recipe. An absolute godsend for stick trading.

[@truthhunterhawk3932]

I had no idea! Thankyou. Now I know

[@caspiangyarados9279]

I'd love to see this become a longer series!

[@Digitalsurfer265]

I like the idea of some laid back Jevin single player!

[@JohnnySpat]

Someone call up CaptainSparklez, we’ve got a slime in a treehouse

[@colindoyle4370]

I think singleplayer is the most exciting at the beginning, because there's a whole lot of potential that has still been untapped

[@TheWestcoastnz]

I love watching solo adventures caving and exploring seeds I've never seen before

[@Frewtsalad]

so glad you are picking this up again! You've got this Jev!

[@A_4_Ever]

Hope we get ep2 on this one

[@mccleslie13]

I love watching a casual let's play, especially when you can gauge by the title what we're getting up to in the episode. Even when it's a "time to go mining" episode. Chill, everyday grindy things bc I don't have the time to play and do it myself. Also, I really liked your spawner time lapse! I'm not good with farms and that gave me a really great visual! 🤩

[@Ronanelm]

I've been looking for more long term single player let's plays. Not having any time restrictions does wonders for all players :)) definitely continue the series! The starter base is super cool too

[@PookieKatie]

I will watch anything you put out! I really enjoy the single player series. I love the slower pace and the cozy vibes. HC can feel so busy at times.

[@alexisfaucher1630]

I love watching Hermitcraft and Single Player as well. Hermit craft is awesome for the interactions aspect but the single player series are also enjoyable to watch because you’re on your own and can’t rely on others. I enjoy both

[@catmus1506]

Solo player is great! I find it more relatable and watching yours and other single plater guides gives me ideas for what I can do in my world. They are more realistic than the giant ones in the SMPs.

[@Jay1en_]

First 7 minutes of video abt netherite pic Also Jev: 7:12

[@Missmori]

glad to see you come back to this. multiplayer is nice, but single player has a more relaxed, less pressure feel.

[@Ellie_Cee]

Definitely going to watch! You’ve become one of the first hermits I watch when videos come out because I love your build style. Excited for the opportunity to see more 😊

[@RISEINGJOKER]

I’ve been watching you since your season 2 mountain base and I am so glad to finally see you back in a single player world

[@fallenangel245]

I enjoy watching both single and multiplayer to see different sides from people. I would love to see more from u on this.

[@derxderdraws]

I'm a big fan of server (like Hermitcraft) play because I love the social interactions and collaborative builds. BUT I also really love watching solo LP's because it's fascinating to see what you might prioritize as a single player and what Minecraft is like for different people. I'll be sticking around for both series. Also - I don't know that I've ever seen a stronghold bisected with a mineshaft before, that's wild!

[@ended_ellipsis]

the singleplayers fun to watch! its a nice break from the hermitcraft content so as a viewer i dont get burnt out? from watching so much of it but still being able to watch the creators i love keep it up great video! :D

[@theuman7]

Keep this series. Also what about a one block Skyblock series.

[@sarahraymond873]

I love watching single Let’s Play. It’s how I play, since I don’t really have anyone to play Minecraft with.

[@Caat24]

I love watching singleplayer worlds. Not just the building part but all aspects of it. So i would watch it for sure if you’d continue.

[@viky_somebody]

i love both multiplayer and singleplayer letsplays, i'd love to see you play on this world and develop it further

[@gunchbandit4422]

No one makes single player anymore, except for Etho occasionally. And I love it when he uploads those.

[@Mr-Zapz]

I'd love to keep watching this series. Thanks for the episode!

[@fintasticfins9941]

You were consistent, never doing something is consistently not doing it, well done

[@nmgg6928]

Oh this is awesome I'm happy to see this make a comeback and I do hope you decide to continue it. The nice thing about the starter house being a tree house is if you do want to change direction with build ideas it should be pretty easy to keep the tree house incorporated in it I mean its a tree trees are awesome lol you could build and live in a circus tent for all I care just excited to see more jevin stuffs so long as you're having fun with it 😁

[@acenuchiha3233]

i love when hermits do single player worlds ! Keep it going

[@tyrsia]

I watched your previous single player to learn tips on how to play in my own world. The more I get experience with Minecraft, the less I have appetite for beginner-tip style content, but dang there is something I love about early game. It’s charming to play, its charming to watch. I don’t know if I will retain interest long term, but I am here for this right now! Let’s see how it goes! Update: already learning stuff! I never fully understood how to do the water bucket portal and you explained it so much more easily ! ❤

[@SACworks]

Yay! The single player is back! As someone who watches a few single player series, albeit modded (*Cough cough* Chosen Architect primarily), I like single player. It feels I guess smaller scale, which is quite nice. (Don't get me wrong, I adore Hermitcraft. It's a big SMP (the scale clearly shows), and the interactions are great. But there is something about singleplayer that makes it more laidback and comfy. Maybe it's my biases speaking there as I've only ever played Singleplayer.) Mentioned my thoughts in that post a while back regarding feedback. The only thing that comes to mind is trying to stay committed with projects already beginning. I understand though, it's hard to balance. Like I said before, you do you mate, as long as you are having fun. :D Sidenote, sped up sounds are neat. Why do the endermen sound so chittery when sped up? XD Edit: I want to reemphasize this, for me, I enjoy quite a lot of things. (I'm not picky with stuff.) I like Hermitcraft, but I also like single player (Modded, vanilla, doesn't matter), other games and the like. This is just my thoughts as a general viewer. If you ask me to pick one over the other though, then uh... there's an argument you will never hear an answer from, as I can't decide. XP

[@Dr.Smiley1652]

I love watching let's plays! Thank you for posting episode 2 :)

[@DavidBlumenstock]

I love watching single player. It's my go to when I want to unwind and relax

[@romaincourchelle5878]

Keep uploading those videos man, it’s great to see a good old let’s play serie ❤

[@willpz8898]

sometimes being on a single world be good to help you clear your mind and go out and have fun by yourself and not worry about trying to get stuff done on time.

[@Subatomicfish]

I'm all for a chill, casual single player world! But if you're finding yourself feeling like you're just going through the motions, I would highly recommend you switch over to this years April Fool's snapshot: The Potato Update. I was really really hoping more of my favorite content creators would cover it for more than just a day after April first, but no such luck. It's actually a pretty in-depth update with lots of cool new mechanics that I think would actually fit the vanilla game. At the very least, there are some objectives it presents for you to work towards and loads of fun new stuff to play with, so I don't think you'd struggle to find things to do for a good while. Honestly, I'd love to see the Hermits play it on a server too.

[@laineywright2696]

You are a brilliant player and I will learn tons of things while I enjoy your series as much as Hermitcraft. Dragon time, it's funny, what you think is boring, terrifies me..

[@chelseaf289]

I'm loving your single player style. Its a nice change up from Hermit craft. Well done.

[@jcrim88]

Love single player Minecraft series. You should definitely keep this going.

[@jessie0_04]

I love the single player worlds they are my favorite videos!! I love to see more than just the big builds and kinda like you said more “seriousness” videos like Hermitcraft.

[@jamiebruce6329]

I enjoy sinleplayer let's plays because it lets you diversify your builds so you can build what you want without having to match it towards other people's builds and the story

[@sc0rch3d]

I like SMP (which is how I play) so that you can fully be yourself in whatever way you want. You can have a certain energy when you're the center of attention vs. trying to do content for the sake of the server or your fellow hermits. Do what you love in Minecraft and all the worries of the future will fade away.

[@LordKronsell]

We watch because of you, if you're happy playing single player, or Ark survival, or warcraft, or pong, if you're happy and vibing, we're down :)

[@NerdPodcastRadio]

I like the single player series because it gets you thinking outside the box and trying things. I hope the single player series happens on occasion when you need to recharge from hermitcraft epic ness. How do you want it to be different? Different creators on hermitcraft use single player for different things. Bdubs uses single player to stretch his builder muscles. Others use it for creative building, others use it for speed running, what do you like to do that you want to share with us?

[@harleighquinnmekyra]

19:00 I've had strongholds as low as -40. & as high as 9, to the side of a Tiaga village. That second stronghold world was were, there was 3 ocean monuments in the same ocean less than 1000 blocks from each other. & there was 2 trail ruins less than 50 blocks from each other & also by that same taiga village.

[@aidandrury9542]

I absolutely will keep watching this series if you keep uploading it

[@Liv-kx9yd]

Hey Jev always love your Minecraft episodes doesn’t matter what kind you play

[@crescentlady]

I'm a very new fan, I started watching all the hermits at the start of Season 10 (up to date on everyone's episodes!) Personally, I don't like time lapses without music, like when you walked in the End to get your elycktra (i don't know how to spell that). I loved watching your joy building your nether portal and impressed at how quickly you took out an Ender dragon. Right now this series feels directionless. I'm very interested in the creative process and seeing where you'd like to go from here. It needs to be an idea you enjoy but maybe your fans could offer theme suggestions? You also naturally drop little Minecraft tidbits and advice about the game which is part of your charm and why I watch your videos.

[@nancjustnanc5462]

I learn so much more with a let's play....pleeeeaaaasssee continue

[@kevinfant8948]

I am in day 6359 of a single player world, Seed 1. My base is at the bottom. I have a combo mob farm/iron farm that I had to repair several times because of creepers, it is now all obsidian. I am currently creating a 200 x 200 perimeter centered on that farm down to the bottom with 4 beacaons on Haste II. My grandson got me into Minecraft 2015. This is about my 6th world started Feb 2, 2023. Updated to 1.21, use a few mods, been to the nether, defeated the dragon, have a few shucker boxes, been to a trial chamber ( no mace yet). Have not been to other places in the world. Mostly like strip mining. Have a huge mostly manual storage area.

[@Ednoria]

I love single player series. Keep going!

[@Mmiaaannb]

Single player lets-plays are nostolgic for me. Keep going!

[@tristangrandisson2131]

i love single player as much as multi, hope you jeep the series

[@kd_7151]

I don’t mind seeing a single player let’s play in Minecraft because u can expand ur world to ur liking also hermit craft I love seeing everybody pov and people getting along

[@bigocb]

I personally love single player, it really gives a sense of you and less of you as a hermit.

[@alba1244]

love the single player series! Also would you "grow" a tree village connected by bridges? i think it would be very interesting, yes it means more trees building for you sorry about that! :)

[@NateEsq]

I hard prefer single player. So glad you’re back here.

[@IMemorialI]

I will say, the rush to get diamond gear with enchantments and kill the dragon all in one episode is what I don't like personally. I love the slow grind and exploration that turns into project builds. There's a place for speedruns and they don't fit in a casual playthrough, in my opinion. I know I'm a small voice and minority opinion but that's my feedback. All love and positive vibes

[@dosmart]

I love anything you release

[@thebaconbrotato]

First off, welcome back Jev.👋 Please continue the series for as long as it's fun for you.👍

[@qatarcreative6324]

@iJevin I watch HermitCraft as a filler. Let’s play series by creators like @Chapman, Bootknacks, Tatervater and others, are on my playlist as background interest. I believe I’ve watched Chapmans series through about 20-30 times. Single player lets play are more relatable than group servers. Please set yourself up as a play through series, I know I’d enjoy it.

[@ExcitedSapling]

Really enjoyed your video definitely keep it going

[@rexross1461]

Yes please, as long as it's natural and not forced episodes

[@timeittells]

awesome I'm so glad to see more of this series.

[@Jaypay2k707]

Yes continue the series I like the more slow paced survival series

[@Sledg0matic]

Well, I know that I'm always happy when Etho and Bdubs do things on their single-player worlds, so why not?

[@sprinklesharkie]

continue the series !! ive missed ittt

[@wendykosak1988]

I like early game episodes -- the first punching of tree and gathering of resources

[@VillagerBudz]

Please do continue this series! I found it today when browsing on my TV... Found this vid originally n then went back to watch Episode 0! Craving more content like this 🔥

[@agentxx7496]

Unfortunately ijevin keeps doing new lets play series and then stops after 2-3 uploads

[@VillagerBudz]

@agentxx7496 awh man ;-; hopefully he sticks to this one!

[@darinsfool]

I like your single player let's play

[@addastra03]

I'm interested in watching your single player world jev! It would be interesting to watch considering that you have full control over the pace and creativity which is very different from HC

[@medianoche3]

I love Hermitcraft, but with everyone striving to make bigger, more extreme builds, it's getting harder to keep up with everything. I loved Building with Bdubs and Iskalls solo vault series because it was them having fun and welcome a solo Jev world. Season 8 was glorious. There were amazing builds, but there were also way more relaxed interactions between everyone. Not endless "lore" to create forced interactions, but actually felt like a bunch of friends on a server having fun and doing something they love.

[@WildPaxx]

Have fun and go exploring, find 'your place'. If you have fun, there's a real big chance we will have fun too.

[@CastleTrime]

While it is definitely interesting watching hermitcraft some variety is nice. Watching how you play through a single player world would be interesting personally

[@SuzieM338]

A new Jevin Let’s Play episode!

[@LessaIsLief]

Yes! Please continue this series Jevin! I love the totally different cadence than hermitcraft ❤

[@54m0h7]

I think a single player series would be great, it's a very different feeling to being on a server, especially Hermitcraft. It would be great to have very different stuff going on in each, like on HC you got a forest base, so maybe here you do Cyber Punk or focus more on redstone, something different yea know? Looking forward to the next one!

[@Fishysalmon02]

Im always a fan of single-player series. I watch building with bdubs religiously

[@WhirlpoolMaelstrom]

please continue series, i have waited for so long :D.
