July 1st 2024 

The start of a new, yet still with the old. After all, the spirit of the pond remains. But refreshed in order to harbor more than we can previously have hold.

Really good video, I'm a huge fan of the relaxed style you went for. The visuals really help with the soothing music in the background. Keep up the good work Koi.

Better open a 5* restaurant with all this high quality cooking you're doing

I'm glad to be apart of such a wonderful community, excited for the changes and what's to come! Keep it up y'all, you're doing great

Omg I've been trying for a whole month to gather some ideas and stuff to do on youtube and start my own path, and I found you ! Your work is amazing and I won't copy/paste it because of its singularity, but you are a great inspiration, the vibe of your channel really talks to me, keep up doing your art man ! Much love from a french dude 🙏

It's cool to see you slowly growing. Im proud to be a part of this for now small but friendly community.

Could you possibly make a video showing all that has been accomplished in this first season? It might be cool to see all the construction in one video. And it could be a nice souvenir and tribute to this season.

Pond is love, pond is life

This sort of thing would genuinely get me to start making videos again omg! This vibe is immaculate, the mods seem so well balanced for it too, it would be amazing to get to play in this community just based on your videos! Keep up the great work bc wowee what an inspiration :D

The fact that I won’t likely ever be able to be part of this experience being on PS4 only and unable to pay for multiplayer as money is tight, this server/world sounds like a dream, and the videos you make for it look and sound like a slice of heaven and peace, keep doing what your doing, your world sounds wondrously beautiful and I hope it continues to excels.

tranquility just flows in my heart.

I'm very excited about this! A new world sounds like a big change, and I can't wait to see what will happen :)

Man I hope I can join this lol. Cheers mate, you're building a beautiful server and community

ah yes the music you have chosen is exquisite, where did you find or hear these gems if I may ask.

I've been very quiet, and just watching this experiment. Very much interested in this evolution and hope you realize your vision. It would be interesting to see pond clones develop into independent tribes , and perhaps through the network, find ways to occasionally unite representative of the tribes into events and stories to be shared here on RU-vid.

Excited for what’s to come… the foundation that’s been built here is what will allow for it to expand to new horizons, well done!

this, is an absolute masterpiece of a video, congratulations Koi!

Did you consider Dynamic Trees for this modpack? It's probably one of my favorite mods for how "simple" it is, scope wise. I think it makes everything look better, I love making gardens with the arbory features it allows.

Can't wait!!! Joining this community halfway through was already a blast, I can't even imagine how fun it's gonna be to learn and explore everything together

I’ve been quietly keeping an eye on what you’ve been doing ever since your vid exploded, I love what your doing and I’m a little torn because of it. On one hand I think I’d really enjoy it and I could really benefit from being a part of a community again and finding new people to hang out with. Though on the other hand despite the fact that I don’t really struggle in social situations much and I can even really enjoy them, but I always retreat into my lonely little shell or I keep to myself and never really reach out to begin with. However I feel the even bigger problem is that I really just burn out far to fast, and so I tend be really into something for a week or so before I just disappear for months before coming back. It’s due to both physical and mental health issues that mean I really don’t have much energy for anything beyond basic life stuff + the meds I take to keep things manageable all have symptoms of drowsiness which definitely doesn’t help lol. But anyway, I do really wanna give the pond a shot because it seems like a lot of fun, it’s the kinda experience that might reawaken my love for Minecraft, and It’s probably a good idea for me (and my mental health) to find people I can connect with. But I just can’t convince myself to take that step nor that I’ll be active enough in the community to get in, and even if I do get in I might not even play frequently enough to justify me getting in instead of someone else…

I love the picture of the group I was with being bards from the test server, can't wait for the pond 2.0 and the changes!

As someone who loves making modpacks I really do like this, I have spent over 5 years working, reworking and, making modpacks better set to what I want them to be. As such I find this quite nice since it looks like you have truly put in the time to make something you truly enjoy and is truly what you want it to be. I am sure the pond will be great and I wish you guys the best of luck with what you are making.

love this type of content. production quality is top tier. makes me want to play this so badly and just relax and build! The Pond seems so chill.

It's so cool to see this community growing. Hopefully one day everyone can join who wants to.

This is my new favorite channel

I generally say vanilla+ is vanilla with slight tweaks and improvements, small editions and changes. Vanilla++ is what I would call vanilla style modpacks that make major changes and enhancements to the gameplay loop

I find it kinda fitting that you post thid while I'm experimenting with opening my own modpack for my friends and I to have our own SMP server. I'd love to see what this is like.

Now this, this does put a smile on my face

Beautiful video once again, I love the Pond and always will, can't wait for season 2 ❤

I don't know who you are or the history of your modpack/SMP, but this was such a beautiful video that I just had to stay and watch. Great job!

love how you format these videos !! you should show more into the server life and community within it!! seems so fun to join

I hope that we have more seasons past this, my pc is weak now but I'm building a new one and hope to be able to join a young world

As a person who loves the play Minecraft with friends but with the problem of time zones and a busy/hard personal life I wouldn’t be able to join this beautiful pond even if i did I wouldn’t be that active but i would love to play it if it was a mod pack if i can figure out how those work again but i can feel that a-lot of people cant wait to join this pond and i hope it continues to thrive for those people

That looks so wonderful! Can't wait for the new server :)

Me and my Friends Like this modpack so much. Tank you

I need this in my life right now.

The visuals in this video are 👌

Hey there, just scrolling through the mods I noticed in the 2.0.2 version of the modpack the mod Ecologics is present twice. Idk, if that was my launcher bugging out, or if it is actually like that in the modpack. I thought I'd let you know anyways, in case it's something you can and want to fix. Also, crazy good video, the script, your cadence, the imagery, everything was so beautiful, I wish nothing but the best for your server and the community. ^^

I can't wait for the new video I can't wait for the New series and modpack update 😊❤

Man I can’t wait to come back to this awesome server, now that I’m done with school I got lots of free time

It makes me happy to see another server with similar core mods to mine.

Imagine if somebody made a mod that includes AI functions, that generates new structures, that AI created. This would honestly be epic. I hope some modcreators will see this comment and actually think about it. This would be really a gamechanger for minecraft modpacks.

Once again, I really hope the opportunity opens for me to enter The Pond. I'll certainly try to be active, if that's what it takes, because this is a community and server I've been hoping and waiting for. Here's to a new era of The Pond, hopefully one I get to be a part of.

You're great. You inspired me, and I hope I will be able to make cinematic videos like you. ❤

I learned blender

04:28 damn dude kinda looks like Vinland Saga

Good luck managing the server !

i honestly think this is the perfect minecraft for me. maybe this is why I love Hytale so much, the richness and general vibe in the world is second to none.

Have you released the mod pack? I’d love to play with some of the new blocks and items so I know what I could build in the Pond when I get there.

So exciting, i am so glad i found your channel!

I really love the pond idea and i want to be part of it but in a way it scares me that when a lot of fish get into the pond it may be some sharks in that same group

Good luck, though this wasn’t my kind of place it will be for many others. o7

Im excited for when the splash into The Pond 2.0 happens.

Will Small Ships be in the modpack? I've always wanted to play on a server with it, but I've never had the chance. I think it's pretty vanilla friendly. Discord invite link is invalid though. :/

I may just have to try and join this one.

Amazing work, so visually appealing! Much love from the puddle! ♥

We want to play on YOUR server😢

If people don't want or can't pay for their own server with your community, wouldn't you consider a patreon or similar idea where fans can help fund the pond and allow you to pay for a bigger server capacity and have everyone join?

This world generarion is INSANE :D What mod are you using to get it?

the pond is so cool tho i cant bring myself to sign up as i dont play Minecraft as often but i do wana play but i don't wana take another's dedicated players spot

I'm curious, how much ram do you need for this modpack? i'm thinking of getting an account on bisect hosting.

I wanna play MC with people... but finding folks wanting to play feels impossible...

Now that I'm finished with school, I think that this, hopefully, will be great. Tho it is quite sad.

Pretty soothing advertisement.

would want to join the pond

sorry if this is off-topic but could you tell me how you made your intro? It's wonderful!

I will Join the second i end my minecraft world.

Class video mate!

I really want to join this world with yall. How Can I join?

tbh can i get the mod pack because i want to play with me and my dog

Koi, you are the best, and i can't wait for the update, you know me by a diffrent name, wich i wont say just yet. But i just want to thank you, and I wish you all the love, luck and plenty of fish food in the future. Love you G, keep up the good content ❤

I just wish I could have friends...

This is so fricking cool

Hey can someone recommend some shaders and texture for bedrock edition and is the Pond smp going to be java only ?

am i the only one to have major performance issues with the current version of the modpack?

why can't I ever acess discord servers...

These videos are so calming.. („ᵕᴗᵕ„)

I joined the discord last night. But I just found out that I've been removed. I've did nuthing wrong and completed the sine in. I'm just rather confused. I didn't even get a noticed.

Where is a link to your server? I joined the wrong server haha.

is there anywhere we can download the modpack to use it in our worlds?

this is everything i wanted :>

hey how to join, im very qualified

What shaders do you use?

The GOAT

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO!

So good!

Can I join? From TLauncher

How to join

Ai is scary

Is this server only for minecraft premium...? I don't really have a bought account T-T

I like your videos, but 20 seconds for a video-intro is way too long.

:)

Why did you do AI voice generation for this voiceover?

Is the voice over ai?

Wonderful video as always, the visuals are so beautiful it’s hard to imagine it’s Minecraft sometimes

Please list the music in the description buddy ;)
