Why Steve is the Loneliest God (A Minecraft Video Essay)

Minecraft needs more video essays. Just saying.
So yeah, I made this video after having played Minecraft for way too many years, without friends. It's amazing what one can do in Minecraft, yet how empty an infinite world can feel.
I am not even sure if people like my video essays that much, but I really like writing them, so I'll probably keep doing a few more of those.
A cute thing is that, from the moment Alex was added, Steve is almost never shown alone anymore. Even in the concept art Alex and Steve are always together. Seems like our lonely cavemen finally got a happy ending.

When I first got minecraft, I had no other friends who played it, and no access to servers. I could only make singleplayer worlds. I made a massive city when I was twelve. It spanned across an entire shattered savannah biome, connected by bridges of minecarts with powered rails. I even had some of these tracks go underground and lead to villages and landmarks biomes away. I built automatic farms on floating islands, a fifteen story building going from the ground to the highest point in the shattered savannah mountains, waterfalls, lakes, secret bunkers accessible only through odd redstone monstrosities. I terraformed the fuck out of my biome. I made a collection of huge glass domes and spheres on the ground and in the air to build my own taiga, jungle, desert, and flower field biomes. I built and fully decorated *hundreds* of houses. I was the lone occupant of the entire city.

I once built a massive underground kingdom with treasure rooms, trading areas, banquet halls, storage areas, homes, and machines. I built a huge wall with ornate guardtowers along the corners or at regular intervals. I even started work on a large futuristic sugarcane farm that would automatically collect and deposit its yield into transportation rails. I added fishing boats, wheat fields, a gothic mountain cabin, a riverboat, and I even converted my nether portal into a large corrupted tree. Then I just... stopped. Why was I building all this? What was my ultimate goal? This video essay perfectly sums up the story of singleplayer Minecraft for me.

Tektopia is a good one if you want semi-competent-ish villagers (that look like villagers).

If I remember to come back to this video or I get replied to, I'll update this comment with their names.

[@Paleo-y1y]

@@mortarion9813 Please do, that sounds good.

[@mortarion9813]

@@Paleo-y1y Thanks for reminding me. Tektopia is probably the best among these (most notably because the buildings can be in any design you want, you just need the prerequisites for them to qualify as one thing or another.) It's got custom villager models and animations, offers a _lot_ of customisation for builds and actually running what feels like a proper community, and works pretty well with mods IIRC. The close-ish second for me is MineColonies, a mod for the newer versions that has villagers that have player skins and whatnot (in the sense that they're using player models, rather than the custom villager ones of TekTopia). It offers less in the way of direct customisation, being stuck to a specific 'research tree' where you can't give people fancier equipment than their building is set for, _but_ it allows you to lessen the burden on yourself a bit as the NPC's can get to working on the preset buildings of several types and architectural styles by themselves, so long as you give them the necessary tools and resources. Third is the one we're all familiar with: MineCraft Comes Alive. Honestly, still pretty dull and probably the least fleshed out of the three, but could be good if you're like me and have a thing for cottagecore. I've also heard of Ancient Armies 2 or something, but that's locked to 12.2 and hasn't been updated since late 2021. I've never played it, either, so I'm not able to give a proper description of it. Hope this helps!

I still make worlds like this. Make villages bigger and expand while doing my best to keep them safe because without those villagers I would feel truly alone. Once I started finding the lore of Minecraft I created my own stories in Minecraft books and thought of how it would have looked. I think of huge wars that were waged. Monsters that wiped out an empire. What happened to their civilization. While most players prefer to enslave the villagers or destroy their villages I did the opposite. One day I hope I can make all my single player worlds public. Allow people to see what I have created. Live in my world and help to make it better. I want the loneliness in my worlds to vanish.

I myself have made multiple builds in the vein of ”secret stash for your diamonds” or ”hidden base your friends will NEVER find” knowing damn well I would never invite any of my friends to the server or even tell anyone about it, yet still have that server be one of the things most dear to my heart.

[@Sirebellum1337]

I've always kinda thought of the player this way. I have, like many others, played this game throughout my entire childhood, and I have come to realize that after a time the only danger to the player is other players. Mobs become seldom a threat once you have full enchanted armor and weapons. When you're in singleplayer, this power makes it feel all the more lonely and maybe even unchallenging at times, but when you're in multiplayer, that looming loneliness quickly fades away and is replaced with a sense that there could be potential danger or companionship, or in the funnest case, both. Even if you're on some realm which rarely sees more than 2 players online at a time, it still feels less lonely knowing that there have been and can be players running amuck, creating and destroying as player-gods do. There is truly a lot to be said about the potent, nostalgic loneliness of Minecraft.

[@CaptainPointless]

Another similar feeling can be obtained when you start playing a server with a couple of friends, and you see the server slowly die. And at some point you are the only player. You see all the buildings people made but in the end, it's all empty.

Imposing the greatest challenges is what motivates me to play on singleplayer, that, and you get to choose when the world dies.

This is what makes minecraft special. Because you are alone in an infinite world every small things becomes special and more important, because you dont have to care what other people think and make your own story, thats why it was so magical when we were small because we could imagine things in all the lonelyness

[@pyrrhusofepirus8491]

Isolation is one of those things that’s so strangely terrifying and unnerving, the first time I felt it was in Minecraft, not unnerving in the way of you don’t know what’s in the darkness. But knowing that there’s nothing in the darkness, you don’t even have the comfort of certainty, assumption, or idea, that there’s something out there, there’s no one to talk to, no one to find and relate to. Nothing. I once wrote a story about the last man alive, an immortal, who at the end of his species realised that he couldn’t die, humanity died, his last friends and family, all gone now. The stars finally began to blink out, one by one, his only friend in the void being those blinkered stars slowly ebbing away. Then they went, all of them, and all that was left to him was barren rocks and dead moons, but even those would disappear eventually. Then, he was left with the black holes, he could just perceive them. But then, even they went out and he’s now left, alone, truly alone, lost in a sea of nothing, he doesn’t know if he’s moving or static, with no perception of distance anymore, he doesn’t know what the sound of scratching his own skin feels like anymore, because there is no such thing as noise anymore. But despite all this, even when all things disappear and rot away, he remains, the last thing in the entire universe. He starts to beg, he begs for anything, joy, hatred, love, laughter, sadness, for even some of the most basic emotions are lost to him. He starts thinking about Hell, and how much of a blessing it would be to be down there, for then he’d at least feel his burning flesh, he could see his surroundings, the screams and wailing of the damned, and could see the torturer skinning him alive, he could feel the skin peeling from his bones, such a heavenly sensation when compared to what he’s been dealt. For at least then there’d be something, he could feel something The only thing he has left in this world is his thoughts and his memories, but even they’ve become vague. He’d feel terrified if he could, but now he only feels empty. But then, he begins to feel something, like a thud, or a beat in his choice, in this moment he’d cry if he could, but it didn’t end, it got stronger and stronger, he could feel something, he felt energised, strong, powerful. Ecstatic, he lets it all out in one go. And then, in the flash before him, stars, planets, moons, rocks, and then, as he descends upon one planet, he notices something and picks it up. He looks at it, and gets on his knees, feeling an insurmountable number of tears well up, for in his hand, was a microbe. Life itself, in his world, in his universe, all to be shaped by him.

I've always said Minecraft was the scariest game I've ever played for a reason lmao All of this loneliness in a unnerving endless world combined with the unexplained structures, cave sounds and discs makes a pretty damn unsettling experience.

[@Mousse9]

It's the same for me. I played in the Beta versions, I think, not sure. At least before villagers were added, at least. No friendly mobs, except for the animals. It was a basically infinite world, filled with monsters, but you, you're alone. A terrifying idea, if you think about it. If I were to exist in such a world, I wouldn't be able to take the loneliness.

[@CaptainDiagram]

@@Mousse9 I started back when it came out on Xbox 360, which had the tutorial worlds, man-made structures and houses that were still perfectly intact with no explanation or person in sight. Especially since the first tutorial world was a small village with a empty castle that hadn't taken any damage and yet nobody. I think that's why the Herobrine myth was so effective on younger kids like myself at the time, once you accepted that you were completely alone in these worlds, this myth blows up and subconsciously plants the idea that maybe you weren't alone after all lmao. The unnerving lonely atmosphere the game presents along with the unexplained structures, cave sounds, CDs, mobs and the little bits of lore left behind make the early versions of Minecraft weirdly uncomfortable.
