I love reading your guys comments on your different experiences thanks so much for the support! I’m glad this video was able to resonate with you. also Just wanted to let you all know I just started a new minecraft world and have taken it super slow and only play when I get time and it's been great so far, Haven't had this much fun playing minecraft in a long time, if your planning on starting a minecraft world by yourself or with friends don't procrastinate it just do it! you never know how much time you have left.

this is it for me but its months of waiting for up to 2-3 months of playin the game again lol

[@wintershock]

For me it’s the fact that I know too much about the game. It lost the spark as soon as I gained knowledge so I started modding the hell out of it to rid myself of that knowledge. That way I can feel excited when I discover something new. I am able to treat the world with curiosity again.

[@liebert221]

i remember 8 years ago when i was just a child and i heard of the mod orespawn from pat and jen and immediatly got so attached i wouldnt stop playing for days then i heard more mods like orespawn but once 1.9 dropped most of them just...disappeared...there wasnt much of those very large cool overpowered mods anymore and it only got damaged further when pat and jen broke up right when minecraft was regaining popularity

[@Goose_egg5]

SAME. Modding was a huge eye opener. It was one of the reasons why I really wanted to get a PC, I couldn`t take Bedrock anymore and my PS4 ran the legacy version horribly ever since they made the switch to Bedrock.

[@upbeatterraria8597]

for me its cause minecraft now simply overwhelms me with progression and building blocks especially cause i mainly play to build in survival. i like moving on from things if i feel like it but i genuinely just prefer beta 1.7.3 or the 1.6.4 horse update because of the simplicity + because of that simplicity it takes a lot less time to build whilst having to use a lot more creativity etc. dialko's video on why old minecraft is better for a lot of people pretty much sums up my thoughts

[@fortnite7038]

me and a buddy started a server with a modpack, seems like everything is new again and it’s just like 2014 when i was some 9 year old kid learning how to craft a crafting table.

[@Fridgemasters]

honestly it doesn’t feel like a game of survival, it feels like a list of chores. get wood, get stone, get iron, go to coordinates y-14, get diamonds, go to the nether, kill blaze, go to end. it’s just so boring when you know how to do everything

[@donutstudios6353]

What turned my 2 week Minecraft phases into always playing Minecraft (not phases just consistent gameplay) is me starting my own school Minecraft server. Me and the bros get on almost every day and do whatever. And every so often, when it seems like it is about to die out, a new member joins and it goes back to activity. And there is a really large amount of members, so it does not get boring.

I just play like I used to back in 2012, I build a small house to start with and I'm in no rush to really do anything. People now want to get the best gear straight away and have farms set up to automatically get all the resources they need and then they wonder why they get bored after a week.

[@junyaiwase]

[@Furgo-bb]

[@admiralmonocle3874]

I don't have such phases. I also don't go for big things immediately. It's normal for me to still not have diamonds and a proper base for the first 8 hours of gameplay. I enjoy slow pased gaming. I do what I want, doesn't even matter if I need it or not. If I like chopping wood, I do it. I play minecraft to relax.

[@monkeybirthdaycake0627]

This is the best comment on here by a long shot. I am the same in that I too will just take down thousands of trees because it is relaxing. Just yesterday I spent 3 and a half hours just taking down trees with music in the background and it is such a mood.

[@tristantheoofer2]

same here. its why my phases last 2-3 months instead of 2 weeks. its not consistent gameplay but its been on and off like this for the last ~5 years and before that it was either really consistent or not at all for sometimes a year at a time. but again i didnt actually try to accomplish any goals. i just tried having fun

[@tlachers]

Me and my friend made a world and have been playing it for over 100 days. We’ve yet to beat the ender dragon, used villagers, or explored much of the nether. We just fish and quarry stone. It’s pretty peaceful and we play for hours

[@Eckstat]

this is actually something I never thought about, one of my best memories of minecraft I can remember is downloading a singular mod, it added clay armor. I played it and instead of trying to get iron since clay armor would take longer to get, I got the clay armor. I planted tons of saplings and lived in the trees but the leaves were regenerating somehow so I had to keep on breaking them. I played on that world for hours and never got bored, nowadays im always rushing to do too much.

[@DarwinskiYT]

Despite me being a Minecraft veteran, and playing the game since 2012, the most nostalgic time period for me is 2018-early 2022. That was the period where I would spend hours on call with my cousin, building our town and role playing as the residents. When I lost that world, we rebuilt it from scratch. I still remember that day in February of 2022, when she left the game and I left that world expecting to go back on in a week. But I didn’t go back on for months. And when I did, I was alone. We went back on that world together last year on Christmas and had some fun. But it will never have that same charm as it did before. I’m glad that it was so recent as I still have that world and play on it regularly. I may not be able to relive all those care free nights spending 5 or 6 hours on call, not having to worry about becoming an adult, but I can move on. Since I started playing that world again a couple months ago, it has changed a lot, just like me. Sorry for being cheesy of anyone bothers to read this. But I just wanted to get my thoughts out on here

this video means a lot to me, the 2 week minecraft phase is a yearly thing for me, im currently in one rn. I saw a tiktok of someone rebuilding the far lands from the old days to new minecraft at like 2am and it made me contact my old friends as soon as i got out of bed to play our old server, and suprisingly one of my friends already texted me if we should revive that server which is one we played on the last 2 week minecraft phase but now we added more people, a lots going on and its really fun, or at least it was until a few days ago when everyone slowly started playing less and less, which was like 2-3 weeks after we revived it so i guess it really is just a 2 week minecraft phase... it really makes me wanna go back to 2016-2018 when my friends would come over to my house and we would play split screen mini games on my playstation 3, sleepovers with minecraft when we were supposed to be in bed and no responsibilities. simpler times man... My parents sold the ps3 in 2021 as we had to move to another country and i begged them not to, but those days are only memories now which i cant even relive......

[@soomi]

I never had this. I only discovered minecraft as an adult in 2019 and I never had these 2 week phases either, because I always understood the joy in minecraft is NOT to grind. Just work on things slowly, one by one. Just also break up the pattern and go into a huge random cave. Challenge yourself etc. If you full play the game in a day or two, then there's nothing really much left to do. For that reason I never went to the end and it works for me.

[@opossumfpv]

I felt the same way. 1k hours before going to the End. Now I feel like the game didn't even start til I got an elytra

[@seraphim9090]

I play it a different way now. As a kid/teenager I would play the usual way, just exploring with friends, making a base, fighting the enderdragon etc. But now at 21 I really got into it again by building/designing things. My friend and I are building a cherry blossom village and it’s so fun after a long day of college courses, studying and work. We’re planning on building in the same world for years so we can look back at the world we built. I guess if you’re not into designing things then it wont be fun. But I love the aspect of grinding in survival and make extravagant buildings, its really rewarding.

[@ph4ntom_39]

I played Minecraft since I was like 8 years old. It was such a wonderful time just fucking around in creative mode on the Xbox 360 version or pocket edition for hours after school.

Sometimes this 2 week phase, is only 2 weeks because I'm the only one willing to put more time into it. Many times, I don't have enough people to ask to play with me, even if I'm the one setting up servers and making it easier for them. It's just... I keep coming back, all alone. Play for a while and slowly reduce my time spent, until another spark comes up.

Exactly the same with me. When I was a kid, me and my cousin would play every single weekend. I also played with my friend Catherine all the time.

Plus the Minigames are way better then servers

[@S2nppy]

after coming back to a minecraft world I played for about 2 weeks in late august early september I came back to it last week and I can for sure feel the burn out getting to me but i can't deny the amount of inspiration I got when I re-joined that world. I got so many ideas for cool things and instantly got to building them spending 5, 6 sometimes up to 8 hours a DAY on minecraft. Soon as I get back from school play Minecraft till 9PM which can I say I haven't done in just YEARS so it feels so amazing to be able to play minecraft like I used to. The best advice I can give to someone who doesn't like the burnout is, take a break. 1 week, 1 month, 1 year. But when or even if you come back you will be FLOODED with ideas. I can for sure feel the burn out getting to me right now, not at excited to play it but I'm still enjoying it. Dont look at the burnout as a bad thing, think of it as almost a time investment FOR your world because when you come back you'll get tons of ideas.

I really appreciate the effort you put in to making this video. You helped me understand why I’ve been struggling to play Minecraft like I used to, and you put your thoughts and realizations into words in a very concise and thoughtful way. Similarly to your own experience, this game was quite literally my entire childhood. The countless days goofing around at friends houses after school, or late at night when I should have been asleep were the best moments of my childhood, or even of my life for that matter. I’ve grown somewhat spiteful towards the game due to the state it’s been in as of late, but as you put it “sometimes I have to remind myself why I love this game so much” and you helped me see it again.

Bro you are spot on with every detail. Especially the short attention span, I can`t tell you how many times where I`ve sat on the couch on my phone wanting to get up but I can`t. I`ve wasted so much precious game time doing that. I`m currently on a Minecraft phase that`s going on for a month now, started as playing on a modded server with a few people I met online. It didn`t last long, but I started a modded solo world with plenty of places to go adventure and making it progressively harder so I don`t get so burnt out with projects, and made a world for my gf and I to play so she can learn why I love Minecraft so much. Trying to keep the urge to play strong.

[@slewy6351]

I remember my first time playing Minecraft exceptionally well. I was in my friend’s bedroom playing the 30 minute demo on his Xbox 360, this would’ve been 2012 when it first came to the Xbox. We would play the 30 minute demo & suffer a world reset every half an hour until we finally got the full game. I was the last one of my friendship group (of 4) to get it & when I did I excitedly joined their creative flat world. I made a house out of diamond and gold blocks only to be griefed. Infuriated, I started my own creative world which became a town, and then a city; this world was my first world & would remain solo-active until I sold my Xbox 360 years later to CEX, probably for pennies. I’m still friends with 2 out of the 3 primary school friends who I first played with & got griefed by for the first time, and I’m actually seeing my friend tomorrow who first introduced me to Minecraft in his bedroom 12 years ago.

Something really important to me not getting into it just being a 2 week binge was just saving that world I started. I eventually came back to it after a few months (for another binge session) and really enjoyed playing it at a more casual pace, because I had already gotten to that scale of building where its no longer about just the grind, but now I could explore really far or build something I hadn't previous, just because I saved that world. That was about 4 years ago and I still come back to that one.

[@itsgirlcraft5842]

This is the video that I really needed this week, thank you. Change is terrifying. Whether it's in the present, thrown headfirst into a sudden change in plans, anticipation of the future unknowns, or you blink and suddenly you realize nothing's the same. Even if you know it will be good in the end, or necessary, or, hell, even a self-inflicted change. It's hard to not be afraid. This past week and the weeks leading up to it, I've been deeply afraid of change. This is the first week of my 2nd semester of college. My first semester was hard, in that it was so unfamiliar. So different. But this time it's different, not because I know what I'm doing, but because I know somewhat what to expect. And yet I know I won't know what's to come. And I know that I'm still learning. But god, it's still so hard to accept I won't know what the future holds. This time, unlike the past semester, I didn't get any chance to preview what was needed for my new class. I had to deal with it all on that first day, no planning, no prep. I had to deal with the implications and the changes in real time, and then do the work still. It turned out to have daily assignments due the same day, rather than weekly. It was hard to get through the anxiety. But I did get through it, and I've completed my first week without too much of that same anxiety for most of the remaining time. But I know I'm already planning too far ahead, I'm already trying to do everything, all at once. I know I'm making it too fast-paced. But it's hard to tell if I'm just getting my work done and being responsible, or burning myself out yet again. I don't want to risk that. But I don't know how to step away. But last night, that all changed. I spent my evening/night hanging out with people on that self-care discord server in a vc. I realized that all these people, despite also having college, or a job, or both, they didn't let it stop them from taking care of themselves, from living life. I realized that even though college may take up a lot of time that I used for other things before, life isn't going to stop. Burnout, a busy life, unexpected events, sudden grief.. I can still have fun. Change is terrifying. So is the real world. So is responsibility. So is the passage of time. But in the end, we won't be able to change these things. But we can change our perspective on them. We can still dislike it, even fear it, but we can make the most of what we've got. We can appreciate what we have now even while the past looks so enticing while the future looks so empty. Thank you for this video.

I started playing Minecraft in 2020 but became really good at it last year. I don't share any childhood memories like most of you guys, but I really fell in love with the game and I'm planning to play it my whole life as long as it still exists.

[@thecactus1161]

In 2022, the entire summer for me was my ,,2 week Minecraft phase" although I wouldnt call it 2 weeks of course, but that summer man was amazing, my sister, cousins, friends all played on it, we did wars, builds, kingdoms. It was so much fun and everyday we would hop on, play, sometimes go to the lake or go on a bike ride, maybe go to the store get some snacks and come back home and hop on again. Eventually, like all good things, they come to an end and we stopped playing. We had to go back to school again, poeple got bored, there wasnt that much enthusiasm to play and no motivation to build, do wars and all of that other fun stuff. The server hasnt been this active ever since. Its only me and my friend that sometimes play and continue building that kingdom I mentioned, I hope we will finish it one day. And like Dr. Seuss once said ,,Dont cry becuase its over, smile becuase it happened"

Phenomenal. I almost shed a tear

it seems like fate that youtube recommended me this video. me and my siblings have played minecraft on and off for hours the past few days now that we’re on a school break. at seeing the title of the video it got me feeling really guilty thinking ‘yeah ive wasted so much time when i could have been doing homework or being productive’. but actually the end of the video made me realise actually that time we played together was really valuable, we werent just playing video games, we were having fun together, and fun currently is in quite short supply since school really drains all of us and gets us down. its nice that we could all have collective moments just forgetting about that, even if it wont last forever. thanks for this video 👍

[@dekiel1347]

Bro, that video brang back so many memories to me, i remember all those hours of watching minecraft videos, playing with my friends on playstation as a kid. Thank you for bringing it back to me. Even tho the feeling of nostalgia isn't really a happy thing, im proud to say that i've had an happy childhood, at least minecraft was one of the best parts of it. Im glad this video popped up on my fyp, i hope you're doing great man, and again thanks for making this, i really appricate your work!! :)

I appreciate the time you took to watch the video and comment that I'm glad to see so many people like yourself being able to almost relive parts of their childhoods through my video hope you're doing good as well!

A lot of people need to learn to take their time in MC. I'm in a 3 month and ongoing MC phase currently and it all started because I had some friends that do the exact thing described in the video. Buy a realm, make a megabase, enchant their netherite, have all the crazy farms, and they do it all in like 2 or 3 days. Everyone is bored of the server in about 2 weeks because they basically speedrun getting everything they want. There's all these crazy farms and enchanted gear but the server is barren, everyone just builds their all-in-one house and calls it a day. I have a r1.6.4 world (Going like 3 weeks and I still havent even bothered to get super crazy enchanted gear.) currently and I've found that making a build for everything you do is REALLY amazing for getting the most out of the game. Don't just make your mine a staircase in the corner of your house, build a mining outpost. Don't just throw some bookshelves in the yard, build an enchanting area. Don't just have a wall of chests in the middle of your base, make a storage facility. Doing all these things makes your world come to life and makes you want to keep playing. Even if you're playing by yourself you'll have a grand civilization just by slowly adding onto it over time. No need to burn yourself out by playing three 10 hour sessions and doing everything you can as fast as possible.

bro, more like 2 hours phase

[@noahlovesdoggosofficial]

Very good and relatable video! I‘ve had so many phases, but a few weeks ago I finally made my „perfect“ world. I didn’t think about everything or plan big things, just adapted to the environment. Funny how I‘ve always wanted a „perfect“ world to beat the ender dragon in for the first time, but I never get to it bc I didnt like the world and delete it. The new world I‘m playing in feels genuine, and I‘m proud of it. I play 0-2 hours a day on it and take one step at a time.

[@user-md5io6zu4s]

You hit it right on the head. Great video and great advice!

[@jayfrosvlogs]

Awesome video deserves more attention great message

[@sebby5336]

I first played minecraft around 2012 and I distinctly recall my old villager house with a pretty trashy lake and scuffed bridge extruding out of it. That was my childhood; alone, playing games on either minrcraft or roblox, and honestly a really relaxing time in my life. 12 years later I'm dealing with organizing a compsci org, college work, job, powerlifting, cello etc.. and stress really mounts sometimes. This is when I go back to minecraft content, just to appease the little boy still waiting to continue his little unfinished lake, scuffed bridge, and villager home over a decade ago. Thank you for this video man.

[@LordPebble2309]

I remember as a kid, after school and I'd get off the bus, I'd walk over to my friend's house and we'd play minecraft on his 360, and we played on the starter world and everything. It was an amazing time, I had no idea what was going on, but I had my dirt/gravel/log/plank/cobble hut and my dog and then a tower of trees I grew a top it. It was amazing in so many ways, I remember literally just trying to herd a cow into a hole to keep it. I didn't own minecraft personally until way later, but I loved watching the Yogscast and their original series on MC. It was an amazing time and a simpiler time. Now, me and my friends for at least a month each year hop on and we do it all that we can. And it's always been fun, but then it just happens, it just stops and is done. Which sucks, but we at least all end up back on that mc phase. Can't wait for it again.

[@ellagarland536]

i’m revisiting minecraft again after a year or so without playing it and this time i’m taking it slow and hopefully i can enjoy myself while building a really cool world

[@gelozyg1732]

We grew up. That's the problem and we can't fix it, but be grateful because we still have access to the very thing we loved and grew up with as for now we are still fortunate to see it grow and for the next generation to enjoy a better version of what we grew old with.

[@dusanvukasinovic6164]

Deserved a like, i had 2 week minecraft phase when calvin uploaded from the fog series. He still uploads it and i will watch it but i wont play anymore my minecraft world. Also i played with random guy a couple years ago cubecraft skyblock and we grinded a lot. One day he said: bye, i wont play for a couple of months, i thinked he wasnt serious. And it had passed like a year and he still hasnt been on server(by his hours played) Also i remember summer 2021 when i grinden minecraft in village

[@JynYT]

Yeah it’s crazy to think this is such a universal experience

[@rabbids_Z]

this was like a coming of age and I'm here for it. Beautiful video man♥

[@ArtemimiOCE]

Mans spoke nothing but facts. I really needed that reminder that burn out isn't specifically tied to work but something that can be applied to everything where it's high stress and no relaxing time in between. I never had a childhood surrounding Minecraft until mid-teenage years which was honestly one of the most interesting years of my life... I got to connect more with these people I know from school and actually talk with them at school too. I definitely agree with all of the points that were mentioned in this video. Keep up with the content!!

[@JynYT]

Appreciate you watching the video glad you were able to take something away from it!

[@breadenjoyer5778]

I play beta 1.7.3 and haven’t experienced the “2 week Minecraft phase”.

[@E-dotaway]

Everything you said is true. I begged my mom to buy me Minecraft at 11 years old as soon as it hit the Xbox marketplace in 2012, I would spend months on a world with friends I never met in person. Around 2016 me and my cousins made a world on Xbox one and played on it for a few weeks. Summer 2022 we had a reunion and made a new world but we only played for like 2 weeks max.. our most recent world was dead after a few weeks , nobody wants to play Minecraft with me. I know this sounds childish as a 23 year old grown man but I have to be honest… I see the transitions as the years go on. I see my generation growing up. Anyone who was in middle school when Minecraft hit Xbox marketplace knows what I’m talking about.. Hell, some of you might even remember castle miner Z being the only form of Minecraft we had on Xbox 360. Well, I guess we grew up now. I’m loading up a survival world, I’m gonna play this through in honor of all of our childhoods. There’s a new generation that’s growing up fast, already using the internet and playing video games, they don’t even know what Minecraft is. I feel like a boomer or a “old head” but if there’s anyone reading this that played Minecraft on Xbox when it was new in middle school(2012-2015)… our era ended years ago. ❤ but it won’t be forgotten.

[@_shadow_1]

I open up minecraft again because I want to want to escape from a world where I feel like a miner that can't even scratch surface of a world that's flat and infinite, where the only sunlight comes from a square on the wall, where the days are always so short and there's too much to do, where a worker's own humanity is seen as an inconvenience.

[@JynYT]

[@arielix3310]

my best memory's from this game are when i was playing with my playstation 3 with my cousins and destroying them in the legacy battle mode or whatever it was called they always hated survival and opted to just play creative or battle mode and i wish i could relive those experiances.

[@JamesVoges]

Minecraft was and still is my escape from depression. You have a say in the outcome of your Minecraft world, makes you feel important. Gives you pride and a sense of belonging and accomplishment. The Minecraft 2 week phase will always have an important aspect of my life, and I will always go back to the game. Thank you so much for bringing a new perspective on this for me. Really helps me understand that part of my childhood. So much respect for you.

[@DJPastaYaY]

Great video! I recently decided with some of my friends to start playing on my Minecraft realm again that I had created 4 years ago during COVID. We are a bit past the 2 week period and we are still active and having fun on it. We decided to do this as a way to learn from previous mistakes and have a better experience overall moving forward. In fact, it was the extreme inactivity of the realm that brought us together to make it active again. Instead of projects that were to large to handle, now we do projects we can manage and include everybody. Instead of living far apart, we make bases close together to bring about more interaction. Without game breaking duplication glitches and cheating, we enjoy the process of gathering materials and progressing through the game normally. 2 years ago I would never have thought that my survival realm that had slowly declined in activity would eventually see a revival years after. And 4 years after my realm's creation we've been way past the "dead" stage so now we know what to do and what not to do. I'm hoping that this acts as a fresh start that allows us to enjoy Minecraft in a new way and just brings fun to us all.

[@WolfArtizan]

This video beautifully encapsulates why minecraft, and games in general mean so much to people. Personally ive experinced this type of "game burnout" many times over, and its always good to remind ourselves on why we love the games that we do, because just like regular life, they can get mundane and feel empty. But if you truly love what youre doing, youll find that new thing that will bring back the same childlike joy you had when you were younger. Games like Minecraft are called sandboxes because, YOU create the world. It all comes down to your imagination, and how you use it. This video was incredibly well written. Thankyou for making it jyn.

Honestly, a video like this really makes you realize why stampy playing Minecraft he has been playing it for over a decade, and he even mentioned few years before it happened that he planned on ending his lovely World Series eventually that was around when bedrock edition released But then, at the same time, it makes you think of people who still play Minecraft after over a decade like IBXtoycat
