minecraft fan off and on since like 2012, finally bought the game in 2021 then got into mcyt and now i won't shut up about it • Rosilee/Lee, 27, she/they/any, Mainblog: @leejeann •

wanted a place to post minecraft stuff without clogging my main blog so here we are. Here’s a quick “about me”

Hi I’m Lee! Main blog that I reply/like/follow from is @leejeann 

Back in like 2013-2015 I watched a lot of minecraft on youtube. Stopped keeping up with the game/youtubers much when I went to uni, then in 2020 I got back into it! Mcyt, at least. In March 2021 I finally bought Minecraft Bedrock as an early birthday gift to myself (lol) and now here we are!

I post a mix of general stuff about the game, my own gameplay/builds, and then various mcyt related stuff. I post a LOT about Hermitcraft, the Life Series when a season of that happens, or just other youtubers I enjoy.

There are a good amount of people from SMPs that I follow even though I don’t watch the SMP (like Smallish Beans or Fwhip!) Also channels like Wattles (a fav tbh), Couriway, Sandiction, PhoenixSC, a lot of those “I did [blank] in Minecraft Hardcore!” type videos, and so on

might be forgetting some but TL;DR i kinda just watch a variety when it comes to mcyt. Some I follow regularly and some is just like it was on my recommended page and I went down a rabbit hole so now I’m stuck lol

Aaaand just because: I make art/music sometimes! Here’s my carrd with links to that stuff if you’re interested

Tags:

“lee speaks” - my original posts (and the rare reblog if I like actually like, add a good bit of text on to it that isn’t in the tags lol)

“stuff I built” - screenshots of my minecraft builds! Usually from my so-called “Survival Village” solo world (really need a better name for it...).

“turnip town” - I recently joined a little server with some friends! And they’ve nicknamed me the oracle turnip lmao, so I’m tagging posts about the server as turnip town to keep track of them.

General minecraft stuff is tagged “minecraft” or sometimes with the relevant update number (i.e.: “minecraft 1.19″) if it’s specific to that.

mcyt stuff is just tagged with the relevant tag(s) to that thing/creator (i.e.: “hermitcraft” “goodtimeswithscar” etc), and for stuff like the Life Series I use the spoiler tags as well most of the time

also hi this blog isn't dead, I've just been obsessing over the webcomic Cinderella Boy for the entire year and writing fanfiction and that's kind of been most of my freetime thoughts lately

[minecraft-sideblog-tm]

i love when hermitcraft starter bases are "here is my tiny shack that's just large enough for a series of storage chests and some decorations, and whose storage WILL overflow into the yard within a day." I love when starter bases are "here is a literal dinosaur." I love the diversity in what a starter base is

Ok, so since Joel is the car, I'd like to point out that this....

... is the 1964 Mercury Comet

and this is Joel's Car:

may I make a suggestion?

JOEL THE COMET

7 HOUR HERMITCRAFT WORLD TOUR?? GRIAN????

Edit: wait it's almost 8 HOURS, WHOA

[justamagicalpurpleshark]

I know we're all thinking about celestial symbolism for joel rn, so despite the fact that i think it would be very funny if we all just used the fucking car itself, i propose "The Chariot(eer)", a constellation known as Auriga, which is latin for chariot(eer), because it fits both the car and the celestial theme.

Bonus points: it's right by the Gemini constellation, and it's biggest star is Capella, the goat.

[minecraft-sideblog-tm]

Bonus-bonus points: Auriga shares a star with Taurus, the bull (like for the cow spawner they just casually had in their base the whole time)

Just like the last couple Wild Life episodes I ended up starting with Grian and Joel's povs for the finale and BOY what a pair to watch first lol

[aroaceacacia]

so funny to me that the universal response to being given a cake in minecraft seems to be "aw thanks but im not hungry so you have to beat me to death"

[minecraft-sideblog-tm]

Grian: *happily helping everyone figure out what their cool new superpowers are and how they work and any hidden features*

Also Grian, literally 30 seconds later: Guys, wait! This is a PvP server! It's scary here! Stop frolicking and having fun, this is serious business

[roenais]

i'm too tired for anything more than a sketch but this little moment is living rent free in my head. nobody tell him they're still in ear-shot.

Wild Life episode 7

[minecraft-sideblog-tm]

Grian having the absolute epitome of an Icarus moment in the new Wild Life is so funny

[minecraft-sideblog-tm]

I love that the impossible minecraft features aren't just "Everything wants to kill you, good luck brute-forcing your way through the game lol." Instead it seems like a lot of it is really difficult to deal with but can be figured out if you're clever about it.

Tree bark is a projectile so strip the logs first. Furnaces overheat and burn you so use a blast furnace that's meant for higher heat. Crafting tables kill you when you craft, but stand underneath it and it can't hit you. Beds launch you to fucking space so put a block above them to avoid stepping on them, Nether portals [REDACTED] so just [REDACTED] to avoid it.

(I just watched the recent two MrMakistein's videos about it and I can't wait for them to go to the nether lmao)

Anyway tl;dr I like that it's not just a rage gamemode and is genuinely just like a proper challenge. Like, very nice MrMakistein 10/10

[minecraft-sideblog-tm]

So far I've only seen Joel and Grian's videos but objectively one of the funniest things is them getting stuck in mini, self-inflicted death loops by stepping on a bed, launching into the air, dying to fall damage, spawning at the same bed, accidentally stepping on it again, rinse and repeat until they finally break the muscle memory that keeps making them walk forward on instinct

[minecraft-sideblog-tm]

"Getting in a boat summons lightning" Odysseus be like

[minecraft-sideblog-tm]

Grian: No one has ever died up in my base!

Joel: w-

Joel: where are your teammates, Grian?

[minecraft-sideblog-tm]

So I've never watched Bee & Puppycat, but watching tiny-Mumbo talking in Computer Noises to giant-Grian while they scheme against the other players is giving me that vibe
