Genuinely so grateful for the love on this video. 🥹 I’ve been planning it for a while and only recently had the guts to release it. I hope you enjoyed it and look forward to more 💙💎
This slow type of gameplay, no music, minimal editing and cuts, simple mostly unmodded vanilla Minecraft is honestly so fresh in this day and age. Easy on my overstimulated brain.
coming back to dan after a few years is so refreshing. i also just had emergency surgery earlier this week and im about to binge this series in recovery. thank you for not quitting yet, i love coming back 🫶🏼
Now this is gonna be the start of a GREAT era, both DaTDM and Pewdiepie restarting minecraft, which can lead to amazing adventures of thier own, which I'll be eager to watch...
Dan I've been watching you since primary school and now I'm in my final year of high school, Love to see you haven't changed. Being a great youtuber to watch Edit: Okay this comment got a lot of traction. I'm so glad that many people had the same experience growing up as me when it came to this gem of a channel btw yes I'm Australian have gotten at lease a dozen comments don't know why.
ahh yes the white coated villager myth said that there was only one white coated villager and he was destined to become the most famous villager in the entire world....
"this might be my last minecraft world ever" i was so sad and scared for around a second before he clarified that "i might just never stop using this one"
I just started playing minecraft again after 5 years, and I gotta tell ya, it feels so refreshing, especially when I tried doing roleplaying instead of speedrunning through the game. After having a blast in Kingdom Come Deliverance, the idea of roleplaying as a bailiff building his own settlement really inspired me, so now I'm playing the game as if I'm a lord rebuilding a settlement, taking the game as slow as it can be and have fun. Anyway, glad to see you're back at minecraft Dan
@@Kentahahahahahafirst minecraft video of stampy to the last 😭 I was with him all the way. Stampys fun world was so cool when I was a kid and I loved the squid guy
@@famescare9376I doubt your doing anything by saying those words plus if we were to go into war the economy would be very screwed up and people won’t return to their family’s and it won’t even give us any benefit other than making enemies which is not a benifit
Dan your original hardcore world started a 4 or 5 year Minecraft only phase for me when I was 12. I barely played Minecraft and never even heard of you until I came across the series. You and that hardcore world have a special place in my heart and a part of my truly died along with you to that vex.
Dan, you've been such a pleasure to watch, from your mod reviews to your adventure and now we've come back full circle to unmodded vanilla minecraft gameplay. You will always have a special place in my heart. I been watching you since 5th grade, I'm in college now and it feels surreal to watch you play minecraft.
@@krisreacts9216 Craig is one heck of a call back, we haven't seen him since the old lab I don't think. It would be cool to see Grim again as well, but sadly unless he has a pack to make skeleton doggo it just won't be the same
Used to love and be a big fan of yours as a small kid. Grew up and ended up dropping a lot of youtubers such as you as content and media started becoming way too much for me as a troubled teen. Though, coming back around to your channel with such a peaceful, relaxing start makes me so happy. I think I've genuinely missed your voice from my younger years. So much nostalgia. Love these videos. ♥
I haven't watched Dan in quite a while now, but it's great seeing him return to Minecraft. I love these rules, while I don't mind the way Minecraft videos are generally made now, I prefer these kind of videos where it's just more fun to watch. Also, of all the discs, of course he got 11 lol
im a fan ever since 2014. im so happy to see u replay minecraft . The other videos other than mc bring me a smile ,but all of this is so heartwarming. Keep doing what u enjoy!
Me and my brother would watch DanTDM all he time as kids, some of my favorite memories are of us sharing a computer chair to watch his Minecraft lets plays. Man how the time flies.
It’s been 11 years with my guy Dan. Dr Trayaurus anyone?? I’m 23 now so I started watching when I was.. 12?! Over a decade we love you forever!! Thank you.
Hey, Dan. I haven’t seen any of your content in almost 10 years. If i remember correctly, I started watching your videos when i was 7 years old, and you were the biggest reason I wanted to play minecraft. I’m 18 now, and distinctly recall you being a core part of my childhood youtube consumption, and you have since become a big piece of my childhood nostalgia. Thank you for the years that you gave me so much entertainment as a minecraft content creator, and I hope to start rewatching your content again.
bro… I also felt the heart warming feeling of playing Minecraft when all these new RU-vidrs started making their “100 day” series and stuff, I missed these types of videos, thank you Dan, that’s why I never left your channel even when it died over and over, we all love you
3:36 For anyone curious, the resource pack is called FreshAnimations. It requires OptiFine OR the Entity Model Features and the Entity Texture Features mods.
Dan you should use a mod called fullbright, it lights up everything without the use of a torch, its good for viewers and you cuz u dont need to use torches
9:15 they gather around the tree and talk about The Legend of the White Coated Villager. Ah yes, the archaeologists discovered an ancient structure with walls made of iron and gold that said villager once called home. Many of the exact details are now lost to time, but it is believed that this villager's name was "Tree-oar-us", hence the tree worship, and the village being built near water. (Oar as in boat oars.) Such a fascinating culture these villagers have.
Dan. I’ve watched you for a while now. I wish I still had friends to play with on Minecraft. I used to play with my step brothers ten years ago. But my dad split with their mom. They would be 23 and 25 now. My sister and I used to watch your Minecraft horrror maps and try to rebuild them and pretend you would play them when we watched you videos. I know it sounds weird. She moved out a while ago and has been struggling with her mental health recently. I still go on my xbox360 worlds where we used to play all my friends have been off for 5+ years. My sister is now an adult and we don’t see each other much but Thank you for making happy memories between us.
here i am as a 20 year old college student watching you play Minecraft once again ever since the epic Diamond Dimensions. really glad that i grew up here.
There's always something comforting about an OG playing Minecraft. I think a lot of the newer generation Minecraft RU-vidrs depend on hyper-editing to keep their audience hooked but in the case of Dan, he can do whatever he wants. The 45 mins flew by. Lovin the upload as usual! Lookin forward to the next upload.
I know hermitcraft is fast paced with progression in terms of gear and farms, but all the members still manage to make the episodes feel chill, so that might be a good one for you to watch
so happy to see DanTDM back on yt and playing minecraft again:) I’m getting back into the game and don’t know many mc youtubers I would enjoy that is making new content
Ayyy, a fellow Class of 2024 member. I’ve been watching this dude since 2013, it’s amazing to see a slower MC let’s play again. Congrats on graduating!
As someone who’s been watching Dan ever since I could form full sentences, it just feels right to see him just playing Minecraft again. With how much crazy is going on in the world right now, it’s comforting to know that we have a new OG feeling Minecraft series to come to without the threat of it ending from dying in hardcore
@@FunFactsWithJax Nah, it’s fine. ‘Watching Dan since [they] could form full sentences’ just implies they were watching Dan MAD young. Same here, I was learning multiplication when I started watching him
I’ve watched you since i was around 4. Me and my brother watched you every single day after school. we’re both teenagers now. We both say thank you for raising us better than anyone else ❤
10:00 Seeing how Dan has grown up is so comforting for me. I love seeing his little appreciation in everything that happens in the game. Cant wait to watch this cozy series.
Quick suggestion if you want music discs have a skeleton shoot through lava onto TNT above a pit full of creepers when the TNT explodes they’ll drop a whole bunch of music discs.
I love that this is just a chilled Minecraft playthrough, I haven’t seen many in recent years, especially with all of the new updates to the game. This brings me back to how the old game used to be, and gives me a feeling of very comforting nostalgia. It was so nice to just sit back and chill watching this after a long day at work. Thank you, Dan! Hope you’re recovering well!
started watching your old minecraft videos when all i had to worry about was what was for dinner, now i'm back worrying about getting a job and going to college
For anyone wondering what resource pack it is, it's called "Fresh Animations". It works by default with Optifine but if you want to use something else you need 2 mods: Entity Texture Features and Entity Model Features. I don't know if you need both but I always use them together. Or you can get the "Fabulously Optimized Modpack" which includes all the mods that can replace Optifine.
My kids and me started watching you years ago. Back when you had blue hair. I haven't watched your videos in a long while. I'm digging the hair cut man. You look sharp with the buzz cut
I genuinely teared up watching this. I remember waiting for a new episode of the diamond dimension to come out, which I just realised that series was 11 years ago now. Little 9 year old me is very happy right now 🥲🥲
Can’t believe I started watching him when I was 7 years old and just turned 18 yesterday, feeling very nostalgic and glad to see he hasn’t changed for the bad
yo dude im right there with you i'd been watching him since the old Diamond Dimensions days also I just had my birthday yesterday aswell! happy belated shared birthday! hope it was a great one
He reminds me with the playstyle of Flowstate, very chill relaxed slow pace, the difference is that Dan is exploring while Flowstate explores and builds. I love the chill vibe, cant wait to watch the man of my childhood.
0:41 you can still move villagers but instead of moving in to a one by two trading hall you could instead move them to a custom built village of your own. Its a really fun project that even i did twice.
Dude I have not watched a Minecraft video since elementary school. This totally brought me back. Im halfway through high school and this video was so refreshing and innocent. This video quite literally made my day
To stop the villagers from coming in your house, you can place the door sideways and the villager will try to open it but it is technically already open so they can’t come in.
I never would've thought of that. Now I can kick out villagers from their very own house and make it mine without having to blockade the door every time! Thanks!
If you're in hard mode, you can also use this trick to stop zombies breaking down your doors, because their AI says it's already open. (Same idea as trapdoors in mob farms)
i watched the hardcore series probably 4 or 5 times over so happy to see you back especially since watching this video is probably the only thing keeping me here rn
Hey Dan. I started college last year! Been watching you since I was 8, im almost 20 now haha. Love how you made my childhood years. I keep coming back to see what you're upto. It's nice to see you play Minecraft again.
I used to watch you all the time when I was in primary school and during my early years of secondary, this video caught my eye at the age of 21, just graduating from university. Life has moved so fast, it's nice to be taken back by your content.
