I Made Villagers Build Their Own Village 

The villages are like a sitcom and the players are like a war documentary

-villagers : Love/resilience/peace/progress together. -players : War/hate/simplicity/betrayal/death.

The players went through a harrowing but touching story arc that showed both the beautiful and ugly sides of civilization. The villagers were led by a man who, after building so much and carving away at the island, let nature flourish at the last day. How is this so deep for me?

This man truly made me almost cry over a mindless villager, rest in piece, Aki, you may be gone, but your memory will forever remain in the village.

Villagers: create a functional and peaceful village. Players: creates a dictatorship.

R.I.P. Aki...he truly was the creeper grim reaper. He did things his own way. One might even say...the "Aki way." If only he could still be with us to witness the village in its full glory. Can't forget the bro. Nevah...nevah...nevah... 😔

Not me crying at like 4am on my Nightshift job because of you saying "Look at what we've made Aki, look at what we've made"

I love the roleplay vibe of this video. It feels so real and immersive :) Not gonna lie, I actually even like the way the players' villsge looks more. It looks much more lively and natural

sentient villagers sounds like the best and worst thing to add to this game

The players have no sync, the ai knows what to do. Never thought this would get emotional.

Watching this felt like watching a movie, narrated in a 3rd person view. I loved the ending of it. This guy's storytelling abilities are very good

Humans passing through all the historical steps of society while villagers just learning to do water clutch

Villagers won just because ray mlg'd.

The villagers built the best base its basic yes but it’s beautiful and it’s own way

Well it definitely shows the benefits of being able to command the Villagers instead of relying on unpredictable players. Be great if they had more customization with the Villagers building civilizations

This video went really deep and emotional, what I think is that the Villagers win with harmony, partnership, synergy, unity, alliance, and assistance. And the Players win with a desirable town.

This is how the Minecraft lore should be

in terms of beauty, villagers win, but in terms of lore, game progression, and fun, players win

Seeing both the villagers and player’s building is like watching two differing tv shows at the same time.

This was well written! "The players held the brush while the paint was in the hands of those with the strongest convictions"

I would like to see the players reaction to the villager’s village. I’m really hoping for them to decide that the villagers have the better village

25:27 "You wanna know the best part about not having free will? Right? Best part about not having free will is you don't have a say." NGL, that was pretty cool.

I think the only real main issue with how the villager village ended up is cause Zee himself didn't seem to care for keeping any trace of nature left, even calling the last untouched corner 'ugly' and just buried it in a box. It's too manicured, which even Zee realized at the end

Bro turned a simple fun game into a movie that changed my day how does he keep doing this

Zee is slowly going insane more and more when interacting with the villagers. Edit: got to the 25 mark, honestly the line "You know the best thing about not having free will? You don't have a say." goes hard, feels straight out of an animation like eddsworld or a batman villain.

Smart... And terrifying 😁when I was seven and first started playing creative, I spawned a TON of villagers thinking they would build me a village. The result? A bunch of villagers running around opening doors in my base. I wish I had this mod-that would have changed tons of things in my childhood.

More accurately this video answers the question "Who would win, AI villagers controlled by a single person who's whole career is built around being good at minecraft, or a team of players who seemingly not know what challenge they are doing".

This video was so well made, very cinematic with great storytelling. The video was much deeper than i thought, and i love how you ended the video all ❤️

"I don't even care if we beat the villager team anymore. I just wanna have fun, and play minecraft." - me 2023. Okay but this was so fun to be apart of :D thx Zee for giving us the opportunity for this much fun!

I had the best time playing with everyone, thank you for the event God Zee!

In my opinion, I like all of them. Even though they had different actions, plans and achievements, they all completed their one goal, making the best villages. Recipe of making the best Village: War, Friendship, Unification, Plans, and Fun.

Lovely stuff!! I'd have loved to see even more of the different POVs, lets-play style!

Villagers doing sunshines and rainbows, while the actual players recreating the whole Star Wars lore says a lot about society

3:10 it is at this point that I foresaw the entire rest of the episode. While the intelligent and adaptive players were capable of much more, corruption and power wouldn't let them reach their full potential.

This video is so well made and i loved the story going on. GREAT JOB SystemZee

I like the idea of turning minecraft into a village building Sim, those are one of my favorite types of games. I'd have a ton of fun doing that

I cannot believe I clicked on this thinking it would just be a good little AI video- I came into a full beautifully crafted drama.

The twist is, only half the players won while the other half lost. Those who worked together and had fun free from control got what they wanted, they won. While the controlling party failed to accomplish the very goal they set out to complete and fun was not included, only war.

This was genuinely such an amazing video! You should do more videos will smart villagers

Damn that got deep at the end. Great job guys

The humans started rivalries, couldn't work together and quickly became discriminatory to other groups, and the villagers were just content to live peaceful lives and build stuff. Huh.

Had a really fun time during all of these recording sessions, despite all the ups & downs that occurred. Thanks for yet another really great experience, zee ❤️

8:46 I like how he genuinely understood how it was their territory and that he needed to leave, no fuss, just straight to the point.

this shows more than just a minecraft video , it shows us how much humanity could have progressed.

I came into this expecting a match between villagers and people but came out of it learning everything I need to know about humanity This is really a deep study of humans

Very cool concept. I'd enjoy seeing more civilization Simulation videos from you. Maybe teaming up with some old Evo friends too? Get 100 people from your guy's communities and see what happens? That'd be cool.

Better village, goes to the villagers, its bigger, more advanced, and more industrious, better community, also goes to the villagers, as they never had any internal disagreements, honestly the players completely failed the intended goal, but they get props for acomplishing way more, a seven day ender dragon kill with a slight distraction for the first six is more than most minecraft players have managed.

"Alright! Here we go!" Got me so hyped!! ❤

History has been made. The villagers did something for once.

Minecraft is the most political game I've ever played

Imma go with the players since ther landscape looked very realistic and not robotic unlike the villagers landscape. But the builds both looks cool! Great video!

Better storyline than the entirety of the Dream SMP Lol

This was really fun to be apart of! Thanks for having us players on to represent humanity. I just hope we made Boo proud.

I honestly thought this will be another review video but turns out be be something more great 👍

I was only going to watch a little bit of it, but then I got into it, and I loved every moment of this video.

We turned Minecraft Pillagers into ACTUAL TERRIFYING MONSTERS!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2u96CGgdTrg.htmlsi=lhFehBDvOK1AH4G8

I feel like the villagers made the best town in the traditional sort of the way but the player captured the heart and soul of a community by breaking of the shackles of competition and going off to have fun with one another as equals

This was so much more that I ever expected

Damn wasn't expecting a Minecraft video to have such an emotional touch to it

That speech ScarletFrost gave was honestly beautiful. There was a rebellion changing everything they know and love, and they still wanted Bertha to be their leader, all because of free will.

5:50 YEE! That was my first time getting a sniffer! Glad it was in this event!

It's exactly what I never knew that I needed.

the amount of insane mood swings in this video is just incredible

The villagers weren't as cursed as I thought they were going to be.

I like both the villages, villagers got it neat and tight but players got something nice, organic, love repurposing the temple etc. I think both are just nice and btw cool video, I had so much fun watching it :)

"finally building and working together, not as one but as 3 different societies doomed to clash." the most shortest description of human history

Very interesting to watch, thank you.

humanity instantly separating and going at war with each other just describes us perfectly well

The villagers built the best village. But the players showed us what’s more important, and that’s to be human

I would love to see a full episode of just you playing with the villagers like that or a series?

This is one of the greatest Minecraft videos I have ever seen I hope you make more content like this. ❤

I could tell you this, they both look amazing in their own way.

I like how this has a message, a story, a meaning. Its amazing. I feel everybody won in their own way.

"best thing about freewill is you dont have a say" along with the music ITS JUST SO EPIC

bro ray was clean with that water bucket clutch

I am SHOCKED by how cinematic this video is

This was very fun!

Wow this video is perfectly edited. Y’all nailed this

Gotta love how the side acting as the guys who are actually trying to win the competition they're in get dismissed in favour of 'having fun', lmao.

This one single video single handedly proves that villagers are better than players. Note how the villagers stayed on track of the goal the entire game and didn't bother distracting themselves with other problems, whilst the players literally gave up halfway through and got jumbled all over the place with politics and fighting the ender dragon

Love the video, never fails to intrigue me.

That war was basically what helped extinct the ancient builders in the Minecraft lore. As Matpat said it; “History repeats itself.”

I think it would have been cool for the players to team up with the villagers and live in peace.

Personally, I think you can tell that AI built the Villagers' village and you can tell that a lot of people worked on and had discourse in the Players' village, I like the latter more because it's more personable. RIP Aki, you will be in our memories forever.

The village building is so cool... just imagine an RTS one Like villager soldiers and iron golems Watchtowers, barracks and expansion

enjoyed the speeches/ messages with the music, so it entertained me - ty! but i wish there had been a reaction at the end

this fr felt like watching a cinematic masterpiece and it was very immersive

This is a very well crafted video! It made me realize that Minecraft wasn't as fun as it was before because as grown ups playing the game now, all we care about is efficiency and all. We forgot to have fun, we grew up and got boring. There is no proper way to Minecraft because in this game you decide how you want to have fun!

I want this as a book. I would read it over and over.

Yay. My name is in the video. :) I’ve always seen Minecrafters split into two. Every time. AI never had a problem socially.

This is actually one of the best minecraft videos I've seen in a while

Wow! Amazing video, Zee! Thanks for letting me participate!

It would be amazing to see you start doing civilization events with the mods that you make! If they’re anything similar to this video, then I would literally pay to see that!

Not the Baylen reference 😂😂😂😂😂 Also, i didn't leave my popcorn :) 👍

This is just so sad and perfect that ending put a tear in my eyes

If only they could all build my houses 😔

I think this could bring up the importance of who you hang with, about what is to hangout with people that are in sync with your beliefs and ideals. We have the villagers with one leader pursuing one same goal and dream, and they achieve something big and complex where they all can thrive and be happy. The other group had people that wanted power and control, other that couldn't care less about set goals and just wanted to play the same way everyone has always played and will be playing or that they could have done any other time instead of trying to play on a different way or the challenging one, and inside these if there were people genuinely wanting to be creative and build something nice they got screwed as they weren't able to flourish and develope their ideas, they got dragged by the louder issues. That group eventually split and those smaller groups went into working on what they really wanted. So... It's about the pursuit of what you really want and finding those that are interested on achieving the same goals so you don't up being dragged around things you don't really want to do? But at the same. time ways consider what is that that you want and if you are not wasting the opportunity to do something different and build something new by doing the same thing you have always been doing.?

Tbh,this video is much more than an building competition

Rest in peace, Aki... If only you could see the Villager Nation now...

My house my rules
