Those who have been following me on twitter must now know that my kids have become obsessed with Minecraft. It’s all they seem to want to do now and I spend half my parenting life trying to get them to go outside and swim or something… I’ve become my mother.
They’ve also become obsessed with YouTube posters who post all about minecraft mods and maps, what has really surprised me though is the number of hits and subscribers these guys have who’s entire job now consists of playing Minecraft and making video’s.
Some of their favourites are
- Stampylonghead – 919 653 subscribers
- Sky Does Minecraft – 7 320 974 subscribers… 7 MILLION!!!
- iBallisticSquid – 398 201 subscribers
So now my kids are planning on becoming rich and famous playing minecraft and have launched their own channel, Girls in Minecraft with a whopping 3 subscribers..
You can check out their first video in the channel below
And here is the video they made of the statues they made of their favourite YouTubers.
So do we have anyone else in the community addicted to minecraft? Who are your favourite YouTuber’s and would you be interested in seeing more minecraft reviews and mods?
Also does anyone know any South African Minecraft YouTubers?

hehe. Too cute.
Unfortunately I can’t play minecraft as much as I love it. It gives me serious motion sickness that I simply cannot get past 🙁

Really? in minecraft? Zoe has the same issues apparently

Really really. It’s super frustrating and I have tried all the suggestions. Higher FOV, better textures, bright light behind screen, super dark room, lying down, sitting up, etc etc etc; yet nothing helps. It’s the weirdest thing. I had the same issues with Metro but luckily that was sorted with a better FOV. But unfortunately nothing has helped in minecraft yet.
The last time I played I pushed through and played about an hour…. I was man down for about 2 hours after that feeling utterly sick. Haven’t touched it since

Geoff always recommends putting prestik on the screen

January 2, 2014 at 12:22
Prestik on the screen? I don’t get it?
Gavin Mannion
January 2, 2014 at 12:32
Apparently a spot of prestik on the screen gives your eyes something unmovable to focus on to stop the nausea

January 2, 2014 at 12:41
Mmmmm. Perhaps I should try this. Don’t have high hopes but if it works.. Awesome.

supposedly gives you a place on the screen to focus. but honestly, nothing has worked for me, either. 🙁
Sir Rants A Lot Llew. Jelly!!!
January 2, 2014 at 12:43
Well I shall try it as I haven’t tried it yet. But if you’re anything like I am and it didn’t work for you then I have little hope.
I shall report my findings as soon as I get a chance to try it

You have to drink water upside down while having plugs in your ears and listening to Miles Davis. Usually works for me.

I have a friend that gets motion sickness from just about any FPS, racing or 3rd person game… he leads a sad existence of only strategy and top down RPG games… needless to say he’s also tried every remedy known to man/woman/animal/etc with no luck.

Gavin Mannion
January 2, 2014 at 12:59

My little boy is going on about TNT mods, any idea how he gets it please
Gavin Mannion
January 2, 2014 at 13:01
I take it you are playing on a PC?
Well then you need to find out which TNT mod he wants to play first, then download the zip file and I think you then use Forge to load it into the game.
I’ve been trying to learn for the kids myself,
Check out this video for some more information

I rather enjoy the creations and antics of the Achievement Hunter crowd… but unfortunately Michael (of AH) swears a lot so I doubt it would be good for your girls.
I currently have a world with a village covered in light with an obsidian wall around it… to keep the zombies etc at bay… beyond the wall is a lava moat, I have an obsidian door (two blocks high) that is triggered by buttons (which moves 2 pistons to push the block one way, or two other blocks to push it the other way) on the way out the door are pressure plates that do the same as the outer buttons… and I have an obsidian and gold citadel towering over the village with glow rock on the top of it… to lower area heads into my mines… which almost encompass the entire mapped world… I think I had too much time on my hands when I built that place…..
Oh I also have a lava “water” fall off the top of the wall which also works with pistons (about 90 or so of them) 😛

Hahaha I can imagine… I’ve spent a fair amount of hours checking what people create on MineCraft, and it is amazing what people find the time and creativity to make.

Vlogging has become a popular trend worldwide and is crossing over to South Africa slowly but surely. Since the Caspar Lee has become well know South Africans has taken to this. I have spend endless nights looking for other South African Youtubers and found how difficult it was in the endless sea of youtubers on youtube.com. So I decided to start a website to showcase these South African youtubers and to help introduce them to the world. There are a lot of hidden talents in our country and the website shows just a few of them. Please check it out and support local talent….
