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 :)

[@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 😃

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

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!

[@TheLazyBeanss]

Anyone remember when neo spent 3 episodes finding a good spot for a base

[@TheNeoCubest]

sounds about right LOL

Yes I remember it was so funny

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

[@shelley5954]

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

[@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

[@LuCkySlither]

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:

[@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.

[@theproatthegame6160]

Man I hadn’t watched your channel in a while, it’s nice seeing you continue making these types of videos

[@avindra1637]

Sem sem 🎉

[@amritraychaudhuri9438]

[@heidilogic8566]

Completely agree! Love the way you do these let's plays neo!

[@Beucfhb]

Agreed

[@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.

[@Adnas-o7l]

I see what you did here

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@Hoodwinked_65]

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

[@TheNeoCubest]

LOL you just me laugh so hard hahaha

[@J3LLY_B3ANIE]

I was laughing when he said that 😂😂

[@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 ❤️

[@samaypeshwani5166]

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

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!!

[@eli-bb9qx]

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

[@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!!

[@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!

[@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.

[@ApeiroNight]

THE THUMBNAIL GIVES ME TOO MUCH NOSTALGIA

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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!!!

[@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!!

[@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.

[@time-mars]

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

[@bhargavaaryanboom7321]

50:40 They can spawn in infested stone which are only spawned naturally in mountain biomes (i did not watch the full video yet just commenting as i pass through else trust me I'd put the code here I'm a long term viewer). Good to see you coming back to these lets play again. Hits 1.14 neo lets play vibes. Keep it up! 9067 :) reached it!

[@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

[@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.

[@leahlilyrose]

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

[@cherbear08xo]

Neo: “What’s the name of the place the Ancient City spawns? The deep dark? It’s not the deep dark.” It’s the deep dark lmao. Also, idk you’ve probably been told this already but you can break the skulk sensors and things with a hoe much quicker. Soooo excited for this let’s play. The casual style and chatting/vibing with us is my favorite. I hate when people move too fast, talk too fast, show off, etc.

[@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

[@CamCorderCommentary]

I forgot i was subscribed to you. I had left yt on this account. Havent watched you in over 5 months. Coming back to your channel really made remember who i knew you as. Ill never forget you neo.

[@foxxomusicofficial]

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

[@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.

[@renaelovespugs2530]

Man, watching someone play Minecraft for 1 hour hits different

[@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!

[@andrewbell9565]

Love the laid-back style 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.

[@hastilymadestudios]

Finally a series I’ll actually watch from Neo

[@jcoop0008]

a day with a neo video is a good day, hope this series explodes and builds your channel up even more. can’t believe your luck with the dungeons either, hopefully those are close enough to be able to farm both. it’s nice to see someone talk about how repetitive LTN(among others but 100 days is all his fault lol) made minecraft content, feel like that flies under the radar for most viewers. also, 9067.

[@nmikara]

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

[@MiningTodd]

Agreed

[@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

[@oscar4236gaming]

Why is Neo ALWAYS SO LUCKY with dungeons and seeds?

[@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!

[@LuCkySlither]

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?

[@Wizarding123]

Hey, I have been a fan since 2019, and this is my very first comment on your channel because I have been using a school laptop and could not comment. I love your videos, and do not be afraid to change the way you make your videos. I will still watch them because I like hearing you talk.

[@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...

[@Tilly883]

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

[@confused.cat.]

9067 and yes i do remember those tree planters from a lets play when you were living in a snowy area and you farmed spruce trees in them, infact that was the lets play that introduced me to your channel, i loved that series(didnt watch it all the way, watched till like you finished that modern house), after that i was busy with the preparations of some exams and i stopped playing Minecraft, but now that those are over, i am back, and just about at the right time you launched this series!

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.

[@dacianalowell3562]

NEO! I won't lie, life got busy for me and I stopped watching KZbin vids for a while, yours included. Haven't really had the energy to play games either. I just discovered this series literally right now, after things have finally calmed down on my side and I'm so excited to watch you play and listen to your thought processes as you go. I've watched your videos and drifted off into a peaceful sleep, I've watched your vids for inspo or ideas. You're a really wholesome youtuber and I appreciate you! Thanks for your videos man :) love from the UK! 🫶🏻

[@bluecooper901]

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

The planter on the thumbnail was better than any clickbait 100 days KZbinrs use, excited for this let’s play!

[@aggold6757]

9067, happy you want to make this content again! I still remember the snow biome survival, it was my favorite, with the chunk, greenhouses and other things. Oh and i don't remember or have never seen the tree design. But I do remember you saying that you were going to stay on wooden tools to slow the pace down, now i finally know why you did that haha, good luck!

[@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.

[@Squuonk]

So excited for this series!! Don’t pressure yourself though on making it perfect or whatever just have fun and I know I’ll be here watching!

9067. Just saw you’d started a let’s play, started smiling as soon as you said “farming trees” and “nostalgic” because I knew….I guess that makes me og? Lol! Loved this so much and can’t wait to catch up episodes! 😊

[@Kattenb]

Awesome video! You don't see alot of casual minecraft LP's these days!

[@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

[@garetlebaron5629]

9067. I love your content because it's really casual and I can just have it in the background while I'm working. It's awesome! I also love your builds, and how you just enjoy yourself, like you talk, you build, explore, you just do whatever you feel like and it's cool. I don't like watching videos where I feel like everything is scripted.

[@iyshaparisien8735]

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. It's not only your game play, it's your personality. You're easy to watch and easy to listen to. I enjoy your content. Keep up the good work.

Hii Neo ... I don't know if you still remember me, I used to watch your videos and I stopped in between. I saw this video pop up in my suggestions and I was like "No way he started a Lets play series" and here I. Please complete this neo and don't leave it in between, I Love these type of ur videos. Looking forward to this series

You seem like a cool dude. Not fighting for my attention, but just playing minecraft and letting me watch. I look forward to seeing the rest of this series!

Bro after u quitted survival and hard-core I have never watched any of ur videos but seeing this makes me very happy bro

[@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!!!❤

[@timwerner7769]
