I Made Minecraft Fun Again 

Did you get the secret message at the end?

This honestly made me realize why I stopped playing Minecraft as much, but I appreciate that someone has encouraged others to find their own way of playing. Thank you, Parrot.

I love parrot's story telling and the way he makes videos

he honestly just brings back those old youtube vibes too where you dont just brainlessly scroll shorts but actually find videos you like

seeing him have fun making a waterslide in minecraft made me realize the childlike wonder inside of us never really goes away

I really feel attached to parrots content. He doesn’t use flashy editing. It’s just his storytelling that sets the mood and makes the video fun to watch.

I didn’t expect to tear up watching a Minecraft video today. Such a great video with a fantastic story

I really did not expect a minecraft video to make me so emotional. This video has so many messages from You can play with friends and get a good laugh, to the fact that there is no reason to be upset by the death because recovery is always key. Thank you parrot

the overall structure of this video is actually really smart and refreshing. I love your storytelling

Minecraft went from having fun by exploring and discovering new things to hunting and finding the true answer to what makes the game fun. This video demonstrates this perfectly

Thsi entire video feels like it have been made with so much love. You can sense the honesty and energy every person has put into their own piece of this video. Great message. One of the best minecaft videos on the platform.

"I promise i come back villagers" 10 years later... Parrot: Oh i miss this vr world so much (forgets he promised with villagers)

I love how at the end of every parrot video there is a lesson to be learned. Well done Parrot.

One thing i feel the most inspired by is how you think of the bigger picture. You think of video games as more than just games, they are achievements that gives us fulfillment. When you killed the dragon, i could feel your pride, and the whole video felt really spiritual overall. Many can only dream on being this happy and openminded.

16:08 I got the secret message and I noticed the fun and joy you had with Parker and the fun you had in the creative world when you were flying

13:34 Parrot: "But in the back of my mind" Me: "IN THE BACK OF MY MINDDDDD YOUUUU DIEEEEDD, AND I DIDNT EVEN CRY NO NOT A SINGLE TEAR."

As a person that gets motion sickness really easily, I can understand how hard it is. The fact that you kept pushing through just amazed me.

So proud of Parrot for finally becoming an adult Parrot. He can finally fly with his wings!

Wow, I've been playing since the alpha and come back time and again for years. Playing with friends and having a project to do what's kept the wheels spinning, but following your story in this video was a breath of fresh air. Hearing your laughter with your friends and the wonder in your voicem the VR experience is a tear-jerking reminder of how much fun you can make this game if you really ... Dig for it.

The thing I like about parrot videos is the heartwarming endings that never fail

This was honestly wholesome and now you got me back on Minecraft, I’ve made my own realm and about a week ago I had lost all my stuff to a blaze and i quit because of that and now watching this made me want to go back to that realm and get my stuff back thank you parrot for making me realize why minecraft is fun and how we can keep making it fun love you❤

You’ve come so far Parrot. I’ve never given up on Minecraft but I definitely have felt at a loss before. This really encouraged me to find my way again. Thank you Parrot.

Awesome video! But honestly I don't understand why VR games always shrink down your vision so much. It looks so hard to do anything, and you have to look at your arm just to see how much HP you have left.😅

The most fun you're gonna get is in your childhood or when you're playing for the first time. Mods and modpacks are fun too.

Well I just cant wait for the comment section to be filled with "Can we just take a minute to appreciate how parrot makes such good content"

I almost cried at the end, this video was beautiful and inspiring. Loved every single second, the storytelling, the editing. Parrot flying in VR is so fitting, actually xD

For me, it’s that what you can achieve, when you achieve something like finally getting a godset, or when you build your first good build, speedrunning the game, beating the game in hardcore, getting good at pvp, so many th8ng to do that feel great when you do it, complete it

This is... actually the most motivational end ever. (Since 15:34)

For some reason this video made something click in my head and unlocked a wave of nostalgia from playing Minecraft with my brother a while back so… I just want to say thanks to Parrot for dedicating so much time into these amazing videos! 🎉 (P.S I think Parrot is biggest bird on YT material tbh)

I love parrots story telling and the way he makes videos, he isn't loud to be funny and doesnt over edit. It feels natural and almost like you're just talking to a friend. I love all your videos parrot and I loved the final scene

I personally think the fun in not just Minecraft, but pretty much any other game is the experience, and what makes a game as good as Minecraft is that you can experience it in many ways. Whether you're playing with friends, doing crazy stuff, just goofing around, telling a story, Minecraft is an experience that lets you do whatever you desire, and that's why its so fun. I'm glad you found out what made it fun, and I hope you can enjoy it for a long time. I think Minecraft is fun for being an outlet for people to tell stories, whether it be a whimsical tale, or a serious narrative, it's always fun to watch others use Minecraft as a way to bring friends together to make silly jokes, to fight one another, to create. For I'm simply just a lonely viewer, and to be able to see people enjoy their craft, is one thing I wish to watch, to see a character, to see their emotions, and to be pulled into the play like I am apart of it, to be immersed into it. That is what makes fun. why did I write all of this? I guess sometimes a video is inspiring enough to some people that they let out their own input on the topic, congrats on being so inspiring then! I guess the short answer for me is that it's a tool to be creative. Now on that note, I suppose ill end this comment off here. Have a good day/night, and enjoy whatever you find fun! :]

This was a good video and was cool how many people you collab with. The end message basically explains it. Minecraft is a game that allows unlimited possibilities, so it gives more opportunities for anyone to have fun.

What an insane video and incredible story. Just incredible. 👏

Every Parrot video is AMAZING and this was no exception. The story telling is amazing and you never fail to make a great video! Your video style is so unique in comparison to other Minecraft RU-vidrs and it will take you far! Thanks for always making a great video and inspiring us all Parrot!

This is honestly the best RU-vid video I’ve ever watched in my life and thank you so much for sharing this experience with us

I have found a way to have fun again. I have been getting mods, testing them, seeing what works, what doesn't, making my own small mods, setting up servers for my siblings to play on, and most of all, doing new things by setting goals to acomplish. Experiments, goals, failure, success. Recently I have succeeded in helping my siblings set up servers, modding the game, and just fixing issues in general. Ran into several issues such as crashing, failing to load, mod incompatibilities, not using JDK 17 when launching the server, and more. I even managed to do more than what I had in mind. I managed to create a file that would do all the commands in terminal automatically when run instead of having to manually type in all the commands.

Props to parrot for not having a blob Minecraft skin Edit: HOLY CRAP, MOM IM FAMOUS

Parrot called Rekrap2, parker so I felt like parrot didn't actually know rekrap's real gamertag for a second

Imagine having to fight a dragon over an endless void with blood thirsty enderman but you fold to a ledge

the way rekrap described it is honestly very accurate to how i feel, not even just the principle of making it feel new but moreso the demonstration that stuck with me

i honestly cant stop appreciating how well parot makes his videos... this vibes you get are just sooo enjoyable

I think what makes it fun is when I played on a realm for a month with friends it’s the desire to progress with your friends and the relationships and wars you can have with each other

What makes Minecraft fun for me is exploring an infinite world with friends while endlessly messing around

Did anyone catch the secret Parrot standing in the background with an elytra? 5:49

11:44 bro really is the biggest bird

16:37 whY DOES HE WEAR HIS SHOES LIKE THAT. THE BACK IS GONNA BE SO BROKEN NO.

parrot got them legs bro 10/10

This probably one of the best videos I have ever watched. The editing and storytelling really made it seem like a movie of some sort. Big props to you Parrot. You’ll be the biggest bird on the RU-vid.

"How is he so big" that got me on the floor ngl 💀 2:25

I love parrot flexing his calves at the end on purpose

Title: I made Minecraft better, thumb nail: it’s a glowing blue thing

this is such a unique and innovative idea. really felt new, like a breathe of fresh air in this community. genuinely made me smile watching it, awesome job

9:47 I totally agree that single player is almost as fun as multiplayer. I haven’t played multiplayer in a while because most of my friends have gotten bored of Minecraft

"some things are meant to be figured out on your own" what a beautiful sentiment to end on. It really fills me with hope and joy

I really enjoyed this video! I think we all go through this at some point. Everything is like instant gratification these days and I think we forget or just don't want to slow down a little and just enjoy things for what they are. I think The difference between a lot of players and myself is that I am 57 years old and I remember how limited video games used to be. That's the thing I love most about this game is that you can play however you like. I have been playing since it was out of beta besides a couple of breaks. Sometimes you watch RU-vid vids and see all the complicated builds and farms and think, "Why don't I do that?". The thing that makes me get bored is when I build too many things that make it easier to play. I have a great seed going since the last update was final and the only farm I have is a skelly spawner for XP. When I'm harvesting veggies or animals, or collecting honey from my bees it gives me time to think about things. Anyway, after all this time I think I am actually going to fight the dragon. I've been to the End many times but I've never fought it. It's really giving me something to look forward to. Good luck and I will be checking out your videos.

Every Parrot video always brings back some sort of Minecraft nostalgia. You've come so far and have so much more to explore!

9:20 this was memorable because this happened to me years ago with my neighbors playing minecraft he just placed a command block and it kept summoning ender dragons 💀

you put these clips together perfectly! and this video truly reminds us that minecraft is limitless

What makes minecraft fun actually.. : to my perspective its.. the way you play and the other people differs around you and you just feel like nostalgic, i experienced this as a kid, me and my friends used to play minecraft together with our pc and xbox 360's but, as i grow up, i suddenly feel something, when i play servers like hypixel, i felt like... my friends was still there... i remembered when i always hear the calm and peaceful music of minecraft and i always come back to older versions just to listen to them.. i love this video and i just kept silent the whole way thru just reminding myself from the start. i almost cried, with my drops of tears, this was a really good story, parrot you deserve high reputation on this story dude, you changed my whole life

One of the best videos I watched in a time. Finding minecraft fun again is pretty hard, but it seems like you managed to do that, so congrats on that achievement (not advancement). For me, fun in minecraft comes from a fact that I have something to do. It can be anything, from building a nuclear reactor in my stoneblock world to playing some MCCI, booting up a LAN world with my sibling or fooling around with creative. That would be my answer, if you would ask me.

16:47 parrot got some good calves

This video made me realize that I had found my way of fun in Minecraft a long time ago. The way I like to play is to be able to carelessly wander the world, collecting items I like and to see the many biomes and terrain features. I don’t need a big base, or an elaborate storage system. All I need is a bed to rest in, and an endless world to explore in. I didn’t realize it until I watched this.

The thing that surprised me about VR Minecraft is the scale of everything. Playing normally, you forget that each block is 1 metre in all directions. In VR, it really shows you the true scale. If you are 6ft tall, imagine a block half your height... it's massive!

I’m glad you made this video. Over the past few weeks I find myself typing in “Minecraft motivation” trying to find motivation or just a way to have fun in Minecraft. Feeling lost in Minecraft is something that I’ve learned that everyone goes through. Honestly my hardest problem is just booting up the game and creating a goal to work towards. But everyone has their own struggles and has fun in their own ways

This was honestly amazing, especially you being in vr. It’s nice to see people having genuine fun, losing, and regaining hope after both.

i kept putting this video to the side and forgetting because ive been busy but this has to be one of if not the best minecraft video

For me the most fun thing in minecraft is trying out new content like mods, modpacks, servers or datapacks because it's always something new to discover and you feel like it's your first time playing the game

Wow!! Awesome video idea so creative. You keep inspiring myself thank you!!

This was honestly so heartwarming and a good story I quit minecraft months ago and now maybe I should hop on minecraft again ty Parrot:D

I agree, Minecraft is way better with friends. It’s so lonely playing by yourself, and you get more accomplished. Recovering from defeat is also great. Me and my friend made a server that wasn’t whitelisted (we didn’t know how to whitelist) and we made a little hole with foxes and stuff. 2 people or so joined and killed the foxes (i think some other pets too, and this was on the first day of playing it i think). We were crushed, but another person joined, and they were SOOOOO kind. They helped us get back on track and we even went exploring together (we found an amethyst geode!). I don’t remember the person’s name but they were super kind, forever grateful. Now today we have a full base and explore a bunch (a bit rich too.) Amazing video!

Friends, that's what Minecraft fun. we grew older and Minecraft wasn't enjoyable anymore our friends stopped playing Minecraft and we eventually started playing it once in a blue moon.

This video brought me back to remembering all the fun times that me and my friends had when we would just mess around and just genuinely have fun :) glad you found out what makes Minecraft fun and hopefully some other people find out how you can make it fun also :)

I feel when it comes to making minecraft fun it boils down to one key aspect Replayability It doesn't really matter what you do in the game, as long as its replayable. Having fun for 1 day doing something is cool, however its not actually 'making minecraft fun' its allowing you to have fun. Its a mix between what you as a person likes doing in minecraft, and what can you do consistently which prohibits you from being bored. For me this is a mix of things, I like to say im a creative person, playing in survival worlds just doesnt make me have fun, regardless of what I do. The main reason is attention span, you want to have the attention span to match what you want to do, and so survival worlds dont cut it. Even if I want to make a mega build in survival, it's about getting there which makes it not fun. I like doing creative ideas, for example, command block based, building map based etc. something which requires alot of thought behind it. im going to go into alot of different things which can be fun for players depending on what they like. The first is obviously, other players. Playing alongside friends is much more fun than playing alone for most people. It allows for the most diverse experience every time which helps with replayability. However, some people don't like playing with many other players as it could be too overwhelming (for example, public servers like Hypixel or MCC Island). Minigame servers are very fun for a while as they provide many many different games to play which offer new playstyles, however after a while become a cycle or repetitive which makes you have less fun and more play it like it's a chore. Another factor is like ive said before, survival players. Alot of players enjoy playing minecraft alone on a survival world, often times challenging themself in ways like hardcore mode or certain challenges. This is very fun for a while, as it gives you a goal to try and reach while adding difficulty. Difficulty is what some people enjoy to spice up gameplay and push the game from a chill, creative experience to something more challenging. While some survival players start hardcore worlds to see how long they last, others give themself a goal or challenge to do on hardcore. Another way to play on survival worlds is speedrunning. Alot of people love speedrunning as it is challenging, and revolves around other players without actually having to play with them. It adds competition which competition can be fun and engaging. Speedrunning also takes a while to get good at, so it is a mix of difficulty alongside practice and repeatedly trying over and over to get better which some people would argue to be fun and replayable. One of my personal favourite ways is to implement chaos and randomization. Minecraft chaos/randomizers have been around for a little bit now (mainly seen from captainsparklez by most people) and offer a complete different way of playing, by randomizing the game and every time you play, is different. This adds the theme of replayability to the maximum level which is always different, to what happens during the game or what you manage to get. whether it is randomized block drops, fishing loot or anything, it always results in different problems to overcome which also adds challenge alongside fun. Chaos mods bring difficulty aswell as keeping attention span by having something new to look at and overcome every 30 seconds or so which can also be very fun. The last way I will talk about survival worlds is by going into the world of modded minecraft. Modded Minecraft is very intimidating to many, as there is so much to look at or do that it become complicated and looks really confusing. However when you actually dip your feet in the pool of modded, it's not as bad as it sounds. The main push factor from modded minecraft is the sheer quantity of mods, all for every version of minecraft available. But the main way to go around it is by doing what YOU want. The joy of modded is that there is something for everyone regardless. There is light mods which just add on to the vanilla experience like minimaps or small tweaks, aswell as there being completely different content mods that add dimensions, bosses, thousands of items, mechanics and more. Some of these can be very fun to discover and learn which adds replayability. However this replayability can be overriden by confusion. If there is TOO much to do at one time, it leads to confusion and not knowing what is next, which is when you should decide exactly how you play. For example, Im a huge pixelmon fan. I love playing Pixelmon as it is completely different to the normal gameloop of minecraft and allows you to play alongside other players, with a completely new concept while also still being in the world of minecraft. Some people like challenge in RLCraft however some like an overload in new stuff in mods like Vault Hunters or All The Mods. Going away from survival worlds, some people enjoy specific parts of minecraft. Building, redstone, pvp, adventuring or more which all add specific ways to play and each are completely different. Redstoners like overcoming problems with the minecraft wiring system in which allows them to be as creative as possible, making doors, traps, vehicles, robots or whatever, redstone can have limitless possibilities which you can show to people and amaze. Some players enjoy PVP, which is the combat side of competitiveness, being better than other players is what some people see as fun and engaging, constantly improving their skillset in how to use an axe, sword or bow and being the best they can at these weapons. This goes alongside playing on public servers and testing skills against others in games like skywars, og games like hunger games or some KitPVP servers which skip all the grind parts and allows you to just fight. Some people also like command blocks. the ability to take minecraft commands and create practically whatever with them, in vanilla minecraft, allows for endless possibility. People like Fundy or Mysticat you see make things in vanilla minecraft, and bring friends to try them out after and it gives so much fun to mix playing with friends, with creativity. Does this actually equate to making minecraft fun? well that depends on what you actually intend to do and if you want to bring it long term. I feel like im beginning to waffle a little bit now so I'm gonna end this comment here, my conclusion is if you want to have fun in minecraft 1. find what is YOUR calling to minecraft, whether its modded, survival worlds, creativity, multiplayer, randomization, new experiences or anything. pick that 2. Find a way to make it replayable. Set different goals every time you play, add a challenge, try something new in the game 3. Give yourself as much stuff to do without making it overcomplicated. Simplicity is sometimes key for some people, but others requires things to pay attention to for a longer period of time. If you play on servers, change the game you play, play a game you haven't played as much, try going for silly challenges in that game. The last and final thing i will say, is make content. So many of you will play the game and have fun ideas, and the way to have fun is to share it. Make some sort of content or videos on minecraft and It will give you a reason to continue playing. That is what i find fun. I play on servers, give myself challenges and play the game differently, all for the same goal of uploading a fun video. Bring friends to do it with you, and just have fun. The game has infinite possibilities, it is just about what you want to do that makes it replayable.

I don’t think any other game could ever have the same type of impact that Minecraft does. The way it can go from a silly little game about messing with friends and being able to do what you want, to appreciating the world around us, and reminding us each time we beat the game that it’s never over, it’s a new dream to be had. It’s really just fascinating how deep a game about building with blocks can be.

The story telling and editing that takes place in Parrot’s videos is absolutely insane! These videos just keep getting better!

This is what I’m doing at 3am when my mom thinks I’m sleeping

This video is an inspiration to me. It makes me want to play Minecraft right this second. Parrot you have made yet another masterpiece and I hope you never stop ❤

This is why those Minecraft RU-vidrs makes Minecraft better

Such a cool video. The thing that makes minecraft fun for me is definitely multiplayer. Just messing around and finding new ways to do stuff. Like finding glitches and learning about some clever mechanics

11:57 YEEEAAA HE'S A NONBELIEVER IN YT SHORTS LES GOOOOOOOOO

“Yeah get lit! Woo!” 7:42

bro this guy made me believe that minecraft is not just a game to be played for just 2 weeks then forgotten about, minecraft is an emotion which we all felt when we were younger and after watching this video i felt that emotion again

Man this made me feel pumped. I feel like I've been scrolling through my feed asking this same question. Unsure I've turned back to Minecraft, yet I'm bored amongst my small group of mc player friends, And singleplayers too lonely. But I'm subscribeing from this video cuz I have ideas on how I can enjoy my time.

4:21 meanwhile his shield:

JUST THE INTRO. ALONE IS A MASTERPIECE AS WELL AS EVERYTHING ELSE PARROT NEVER FAILS TO SURPRISE ME AND SURPASS MY EXPECTATIONS BY 100X

i think what makes minecraft fun is a challenge. but no ordinary challenge, a challenge that inspires you, that you have fun once you did it (and hopefully isnt a pain to do). but to make it genuinely fun, forget what you know. play as the kid you (maybe) where when you started playing minecraft. forget of speedrunning or rushing things, doing them in order, forget of villages, create your little home and play as genuinely as you can. (i suggest also making fov to normal that gives at least to me that nostalgia feeling. have fun!

If a parrot asked me what made Minecraft fun I’d say friends because when you do anything with friends, it makes it 10 million times better like building a castle or going mining together or adventuring. It doesn’t matter as long as you’re having fun with friends.🤩

Your videos are the most beautifully written an thought out ones than anyone I’ve ever seen. They are like life lessons. Keep it up 😊

4:27 I thought the Mark Rober theme started PLAYING🤣🤣🤣

That, that was incredibly wholsome

The water slide one was perfect. I haven’t treated the game like my playground in so many years. So many people, including myself are just interested in getting the best gear, making the best farms, and beating the game’s predetermined because we don’t dare to waste time on tasks that don’t objectively benefit our game. But the game is fun when we do that tasks with meaning that we determine, which is what a sandbox game is made for. Thank you for giving me this existential revelation minecraft bird

3:29 I'm Actually Curious How That Feels, Because For Some Reason I'm Able To Play More Than 5 Hours Minecraft VR Without Having Motion Sickness

The overall feeling of the calm you get at the end is amazing and it shows why I love minecraft

I like it when in vr minecraft, parrot says the horse is so big because he is small in real life

The reason why I think Minecraft is a wonderful game is the huge opportunity to do whatever you want and find your own fun.

Me when i see a spider in minecraft 3:13

This is AMAZING, the story telling is just, just, idk how to say it, all I can say is u did a great job Parrot! this vid deserves so much support!

You should start a hardcore world where you just.. do stuff.

The Horse: Parrot: “Bro how is he so big bro”

I love how parrot has an amazing way of telling a story through his videos. It’s aka ways something I look forward to see.
