Thank You

[@Shivaxi]

EDIT: Secret revealed, check kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKiThISlntuBmM0 You won't wanna miss this... totally epic secret reveal about RLCraft on December 18th around noon ish time, EST, on my Twitch - www.twitch.tv/shivaxi And of course, an absolutely massive thank you to everyone here, the community, my dev team...the video says it all but it can't be stated enough just how much this silly project that started off as a "just for fun" thing, has completely changed my life forever. I'll try not to sound horribly corny about it and get too teary eyed but for real, I realize how lucky I am, and I'm eternally grateful for what I have. Thank you

[@AbsentxSolution]

This modpack never gets old ❤

[@TheKsourmoon]

Yo, no, Thank you for everything you've given us. I love Rlcraft! It's a great modpack. We miss you on Vox Populi(now Vox Paradise 2, soon Vox Gaia). I hope you're doing well, Shiv. You're epic, dude. We love you.

[@fallenangelzgames]

Well said.

[@Blitz_arshin]

Yes

[@cameroncase1730]

Lightning Dragons!!! Honestly, when I started to get into the modpack, I was so bummed to find out that lightning dragons were only available in Ice and Fire in version 1.16.5. But now, to get confirmation that lightning dragons will be in RLcraft. I'm so looking forward to hunting them down and use lightning spartan weaponry. Keep up the great work on RLcraft, it is one of the best ways to play Minecraft.

[@KotlinTheDev]

We also totally reworked the new lightning weapons! Rather than just firing down lightning bolts - they've been reworked to invoke chain lightning! They are super cool! I hope that you enjoy them! They also use new sound effects from Shivaxi himself.

[@strangeobino6032]

@@KotlinTheDevThat sounds cool as hell, super excited to see what y'all do with 2.10! Always thought the lightning weapons wouldn't translate well to locational damage, so that change sounds perfect!

[@maboulofob]

Yeaaaaaaah Maybe some days the summoning crystals too 👀 I guess dragon horns work but still 🙃

[@KotlinTheDev]

@@maboulofob That's been on my list, but I've been wanting to overhaul the summoning crystal and implement something better. The summoning crystal as it was implemented in Ice & Fire is pretty limited.

[@maboulofob]

Oooh I understand now 😎 Thank for the reply, and again great job on everyrhing !

[@jazzyj7834]

Remember, Notch originally created Minecraft as a personal hobby in his free time and his silly block game turned into multi-millions of copies sold. And now it's the most played game in the world. You don't stand on the shoulders of giants. You're walking in their footsteps. Keep up the awesomeness Shiv!

[@oidotsuc5165]

After playing rlcraft i couldn't go back to vanilla Minecraft

[@bobboukie]

If I know this Modpack, those slippers will leave your ankles freezing, and your toes overheated!

[@Shivaxi]

LOL

[@ShenanigansExtraordinaires]

Man, you announce this on the same day the OG devs from Diablo 1 and Diablo 2 in their new company Moon Beast announce they're doing a stream for their new game on the *exact same day*, the 18th, as this stream for RLCraft. Now we just need a PoE2 dev stream on the 18th to round it off the hype for ARPG news. Sadly, no such announcement. Still, nice to know that games and mods true to the ARPG genre are still getting the love and attention to detail even now as we move into the future of games where the AAA industry gets leeched and left to die by the rich elite. The OG Diablo devs, you guys, and the PoE1/2 dev team inspire me every day as a D2 mod dev to keep moving forward.

[@FoolishBucket93]

Thank you so much for creating this modpack. Masterpiece is all I can say. Really hope that 2.9.4 come out soon!

[@stormghost3712]

I showed up to your server looking for RLCraft back in 2021, but I stayed cuz of *you* and the community you created. You could have took the money and ran but you chose to reinforce what you put out as a passion project. That's pretty cool of you. Thanks for everything :3

[@jackthecommenter2768]

I love playing RL craft with my friends!

[@kameib]

Yup, RLCraft is so awesome I got obsessed up to insane limits. You and your team have done a work so incredible I don't even have words to say. All of that said, congratulations RLTeam! I

[@KotlinTheDev]

You're awesome too. We all appreciate your amazing work regarding localization. You've been not only spearheading es_MX localization but also providing a framework that I've seen others use to localize RLCraft to other languages and additionally helping to drive full localization of RLCraft. Mad respect!

[@kameib]

​@@KotlinTheDevThank you always Kotlin for your supportive words! I can't wait to see new rlcraft playthrough and tutorial videos in all kinds of languages! 2.10 will explode up to unimaginable heights!

[@Inklers]

I was recently the cause of 20 of those downloads. I decided to make a server recently and invite all 300+ people I know. Around 20 and some of their friends showed up. It's simply one of the best modpacks to have ever existed.

[@niveknaylik531]

Nope. Thak you for being a daring masochist that made the nuzlocke of minecraft. Geniuses are sometime madlads, and you're the maddest and the most funny guy I have watched. Sure, you have your own sense of humour, you also have a lot of passions, that sadly don't work as well as your dumb modpack, but hey... music, bladdertech, oldie OG game, and all, you are to find different kind of public... whatever you do, you already have a place in my heart ! Good luck for moving out !

[@spinyslasher6586]

No, THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this modpack and continuing to support and improve it for so long, it must've been a tremendous team effort.

[@thomas8189]

Rlcraft what an adventure, today i play minecraft totally normally and build house like a safe adult but at one point in my life i hunted the dragon with all my might, studied every mob, role playing my run and... building some house ?? lol seriously thanks Shivaxi, your modpack was the only one that i really played on the long run, i do not play it anymore but i hold it very dear in my memories

[@dimanarinull9122]

RL-Craft was the first serious modpack I tried. Before that, I was meshing together a couple of mods randomly for fun at most. It was one of the things that motivated me into game development when I didn't even have a job. Now I'm working as a software engineer in some big company, turning absolute atrocities of code into something slightly less horrid. I'm also keeping to the dream, making my own games, with a self-made codebase/game-engine, I work even slower than shivaxi, but if he made slow and steady work, maybe I can too. I mostly moved away from MC, I play VS more because it has more in-world crafting and less grid crafting, but I will return for RL-Craft, it has too many good memories to just drop. Also, the suffering in RL-craft often feels unfair, but noita taught me well.

[@poweroff1225]

wow, i forgot about this mod pack for like 2years. didnt know that it was still gettting developed kudos to you and your team for developing the mod for a long time

[@KasaiSora]

I'm going to be really honest, I've not played RLCraft enough. I tried it out once when it blew up a couple years back. But after seeing this, I definitely need to revisit it. Amazing modpack!

[@Stormalisk]

I've been working on a Lycanite's based pack for like 6 some years now, with hopping from 1.7.10 to 1.12.2 then 1.16.5, and so much more. Its been difficult these odd many years, especially by myself. While I doubt i'll ever experience the success you have, I am happy that you and your team had the amount of success that you all did. Even though the youtuber hype has died off, I hope your modpack continues in it's success train for far longer.

[@Diespax]

I remember watching so many KZbinrs playing rlcraft. I seriously love this modpack. Thank you.

[@KENTO0O]

I think you're suppose to say "you're welcome" because even though I almost destroyed my pc after dying a lot of times playing this mod i still have a lots of fun playing it with/out my friends so thanks a lot for creating this f**king I mean wonderful mod pack

[@ItzMurasaki]

I've seen so many videos on this modpack back then before I got a pc and now that I have one I been enjoying rlcraft so much, even though I get jump scared so much xD. Thank you for such an amazing modpack and can't wait for the reveal xD

[@deus_nsf]

This just shows how much success Unreal mods could have if only Epic Games didn't drop support. I'm glad you were able to expose your modding skills elsewhere :)

[@elppa]

Genuinely thankyou so much for making this modpack, one of the greatest modpacks that's ever been added to any game, excited to see where the future takes you

[@Thunder_Star]

brooo, you cant be spittin these great updates, yur gonna convince me to get back into the cycle of infinite suffering >:(

Crazy that 2.9 was almost 2 years ago. I remember watching videos the day it came out and getting so hyped to play it. Keep up the good work!

Congrats dude! This modpack is one of my favorites, I’m glad to see it, and you, succeed.

[@iqbrod5075]

Hey ! I discovered your modpack back in 2019, I'm so happy to see the progress made through the years. Thank you for everything you did, your project is great and your videos are so. Cheers from France

[@solarbear9510]

RLcraft is the best modpack I have ever played. You deserve this!

[@maleforthedragon5177]

Imposter syndrome be damned. You deserve this attention Shivvie, its an iteration of Minecraft I can actually enjoy today, a potent mix of newfound interest and nostalgia.

[@DanielDan-rg9zw]

It is my favorite GAME of all time, not even categorizing it as a modpack, it's so well built it's like a full game on its own! I've spent more time in RLCraft than any other game I've played combined, I sometimes saw the sunrise because I played so much! And Shivaxi is the funniest person I've followed on twitch, I never got bored watching the streams, but sadly I haven't been on twitch for some time, and I hope to come back soon!

[@ArthurioBoomer]

YES! You totaly deserve this! RLCraft is modpack after watching video about it of Albino, I decided to play minecraft first in idk like 5 years. And that was just awesome time. Thank you Shivaxi. And all people involved in development of this modpack. That's huge masterpiece for me, that made me love minecraft again.

[@Sodalights.]

Thank you for everything shivaxi, you are the best keep it up!!! But please add dragon steel 🙏🏻

[@TwilightStarArt]

Been awesome seeing how RLcraft's been doing... Can't believe y'all already coming towards 2.10! Congratulations, and good luck with what's to come

[@Shivaxi]

Thank you! We miss you and will never forget your incredible artwork

[@SeanIsAFatty]

From shroud memes to RLCraft. What a guy.

[@Milennin]

I'm normally someone who likes to stick to the vanilla version of games. RLCraft for me is the exception. It just makes Minecraft feel so much more alive and exciting than vanilla could ever dream of. I do have my gripes with some parts of the modpack, but overall I find it far more fun to play than anything vanilla.

[@iTzWolfGamerGameplaysyTutos]

This modpack always felt like a new game, I loved it. It always made me feel like a warrior passing through all the might the Mediaval Fantasy could offer.

[@Mewcat]

What a crazy time to be alive! Gta 6 is announced and now lightning dragons are coming to RLcraft?! Insane!!!

[@butterphli3z]

you're a breath of fresh air in the gaming community man i barely even play rlcraft but I know how much joy it brings people and i know you've never charged a dime to play it you're a legend in the gaming community mate, right next to Notch

[@mesutataseven]

until u said in the video i havent realised its maybe good writing about how rlcraft hemlp through my hard time as well its awesome and thanks to you and dev team

[@sandwichqueen]

So you are the monster that crafted this mod pack. It's a pretty fun mod pack and I always love when the game is transformed into something new

[@LichtVoltere]

I played RL craft for 2 years as my main game with my friends.. we really enjoyed collecting the rare items with names and The Fortuna Major pickaxes and Intertia stones etc. Best modpack EVER!

[@shhinysilver1720]

As infuriating as RLcraft is, it will always hold a special place in my heart as the first modpack i ever played, and remains one of my favorites to this day.

[@ericdeadmass]

Lol you know you've made it when KZbinrs make videos specifically about your mod pack! Love it a ton congrats on 18 mil!

[@Starmanzo]

hey there Vaxi, been here since the two shroud vids you made like 5 years ago, surprised truly that you made the RLCraft mod, really late to that party now haha, just wanted to say i'm hella proud dude, keep it up man.

[@Hexra_]

RL Craft was the first modpack I've ever played, and this is coming from someone who's played Minecraft since the Yogscast survived their first night in the game 13 years ago. I've never really gone out of my way to play those technical modpacks where you stay in one spot to build up a factory or whatever. As a fantasy adventure nut, seeing RL Craft appear as a challenging modpack that focuses on adventuring, leveling and combat, I was immediately amazed by the collection. I mean, what kind of psycho would put the First Aid mod (a mod that game ends you when your head and body part goes to 0) and the Ice and Fire mod (a mod with frickin dragons) together and think its a good idea? Its not. And thats the fun of it. Thats why I subscribed as soon as that RL Craft "guide" video came out. The madman behind this modpack makes me itching for more. Thank you too, Shivaxi, for an amazing experience. Here's to the future, big man 🍻 also Lycanites Redux was the best thing to ever be added into the game and nothing else matters

[@Strater117]

Thanks for this modpack mate, it may be borderline impossible but when u make progress, even just getting iron armor, it just feels soooo fkn good!

[@ryshazeux4099]

RLCraft has given me new friends that I've met IRL and a Minecraft journey I wouldn't trade for anything. Thank YOU for all your hard work on a wonderfully difficult modpack.

[@ChildOfGorb]

Rlcraft is such an amazing modpack. I used to spend hours playing trying to slay a dragon. Thank you.

[@Warzol]

oooh shiv. ya crazy dude. congrats on your mod pack you've worked on for quite a while. glad it's getting more and more love by the time. kinda funny, a few time i come in and see custom mods of someone's minecraft game i was like "is that RLCraft ya playing?" Been slipping them promos out there. Kappa.

[@zar0_69]

I cant play vanilla anymore. I have a habit of returning every december to beat the pack again. Its wonderful and I will probably return and relearn every year! ❤

[@TheHeavenlyRestrictedCowboy]

aye congrats brother you deserved it! you made a great mod, my minecraft series's and subs wouldnt exist without this mod. Being able to see this mod grow way before i started youtube is a blessing and i hope you and your dev team continue this project way into the ages!

[@Domoneky]

That's 18 mil of possible viewers of a Pirate's Moon playthrough. We Remember Shiv. You cannot escape it.

[@MysticalWafflez]

The first time I played RLcraft, I quit. But I came back with a friend and destroyed it. I've loved the updates you all put into the game! Can't wait to fight a lightning dragon and claim their scales!

[@Firextravasate1]

I’ve never played RLCraft myself but clearly it’s worth trying once I upgrade my CPU

[@Darius_The_Baguette]

no, you don't need to thank us, thank YOU and your team for making this amazing modpack that, through the years, is still an incredible challenge to play and defeat with a bunch of friends, you surely made some people's childhood and you deserve it!

[@CallMeANEX]

RLCraft is like a gift for me. I do like new challenges, and this mod really makes me keep playing Minecraft. Without RLCraft, the base game would be boring. Thanks for the mod Shiv and congrats on hitting 18+ million downloads!!

[@jingothejumper]

Excuse me, you're backporting *lightning dragons*??? That's stunning, shocking even. I'm very impressed, this video made me want to play RLCraft again. Keep it up Shivaxi!

[@Envus]

The time period when I was playing RL was probably some of the most fun and memorable time for games and meeting new people in my life, and it gave me an opportunity to do something for a short period that I thought I could only dream of :) so thank you man and everyone who put into it for coming out with such a brutal masterpiece that so many people want to conquer and for all the people its brought together

[@lunashenck]

Congrats on 18 million! Unrelated to the milestone and 2.9, but whats the mod that adds that sawing sound to crafting?

[@Shivaxi]

Thanks! And that would be Dynamic Surroundings

[@Restosiii]

Sometimes I remember how I got started watching your videos a long, long time ago when you were doing Mechwarrior playthroughs, and it just makes me happy things are working out for you still. I'm glad you're still doing alright!

rlcraft will always be the best modpack that ive ever played. its the reason why me and my friends got into minecraft again. thank you so much for these memoires

[@mercury2c]

Thanks for everything Shivaxi, you pushed me to continue the hardest minecraft challenge ive ever done and I hold that memory in high regard. Youre the best. Also i did end up getting a shirt sent to me when i won a marbles race like a year ago on twitch. Do you remember sending shirts that say "MOM GET THE CAMERA!" ? with a silly minecraft guy on it? I laughed so hard and still have it today

@shivaxi I know the system shock playthrough hasn't been received well on your KZbin, but I really have been looking forward to it. So much so when you posted that first video I quickly went to twitch and stared watching the vods. Sadly time got away from me and never finished watching your whole playthrough. If your not going to finish it on KZbin is there a Vods archive you have so that I can finish watching your playthrough. Thank you for all that you have done and the laughs you have given me.

[@Shivaxi]

I really appreciate hearing that

[@aihazu2357]

Shivaxi you did good. RLCraft kept me company during a rough, dark time of my life, jobless and reeling both physically and mentally from my then previous job. Doing better now, so this is my heartfelt big thank you to you and the whole team for not only this, but also having created the best modpack ever to exist. My first experience was with v2.8, and played again during the v2.9 iterations. Trust you me, I'll be back to get my ass zapped by a lightning dragon :')

[@inknick2052]

That is high praise haha, I dunno if I can agree without my ego seeming out of check lmao, and I certainly can't take all the credit, so many incredible talented modders that have made RLCraft what it is, but thank you

[@TheOmegaDMM]

You and the team receive mad respect from me! Also I admit I can only speak for myself, but hell when with games like the Witcher 3 or BG3 on the table now, I just can't stop planning my next adventure on this modpack. Nothing else has given me such long term enjoyment, except Neverwinter Nights 1 and DDO, but heck those are nothing like they used to be where as this modpack just gets better and better. This is your swollen ego pass for the whole team. Enjoy! @@Shivaxi

[@aliiikristal]

RL was one of my first modern game plays! Still the best. Thanks for creating it with your team.❤

[@ScubaKay]

RLCraft was actually my first experience with Minecraft back in December 2019. When we picked our base location, we had no idea there was a dragons nest right at our base and at one point carnage just started out of nowhere and half our base had to be rebuilt after the fight. Played it until we ruined our base by spawning a giant boss arena right next to our base haha. Thanks for introducing me to an amazing game! I might boot up the new update some time soon.

[@itsukarine]

I picked it up again since it first blew up and I was really happy to see how far it's come along in bugfixes and QOL. Definitely spent a lot of time in it the past couple months.

I can't thank you and your dev team enough for bringing to life one of, if not, the greatest modpacks of all time. Not only have you provided us with an amazing, challenging, adventure and experience, but you've also inspired many others to create and share. Such as the cost to play the modpack, THAT is priceless, and you should be incredibly proud with the impact you have had on not only the Minecraft community, but the world itself. Also can we ignore my mimic clip at the start of the video, I forgot they existed and my soul quite literally escaped my body 😂

[@saftigerkeks5212]

"backpacks are now a bauble" me: *starts crying from joy*

[@AdolisYT]

Shivaxi you have given me years of pure lament for this modpack, but the love I have for it far outweighs that. One of the greatest modpacks i've ever played in Minecraft. It's fun, it's immersive, and it's oh-so frustrating but that makes every second worth it. Truly brought back the feeling of playing Dark Souls for the first time, but on a much more open and chaotic scale. Gonna be playin RLCraft for a long time to come!

[@realplayergamer6269]

Bro you are amazing you don't know how much you've changed my life, Since I first discovered RLCraft I was so depressed it nearly made me KMS because of the fights in my Home that is happening. But when I played about 1-2 weeks I feel like I made a special attachment to the game, A bunch of mods that I've been looking for in a game and that made me enjoy alot just by playing your modpack. I ignored the fights in my house and shut my self off in the room playing RLCraft. Even at school I introduced the modpack and talk alot about it as well.

[@jeremyarmstrong7857]
