Playing Minecraft Like You're A Kid Again 

Imo I think Mojang needs to take a step back and be more like terraria with its next couple of updates In the sense that they should remake/add structures to explore and have boss fights and things of that nature to spice things up for more casual players.

I wish Vanilla Minecraft had these types of land generation. I always have a hard time finding a good spot to build anything where there is too much hills or too much mountians or even too many trees. But the land in this video is the flat type of land I'm looking for. Its perfect.

When i was a kid i remember playing the minecraft demo, think it was only the old tutorial world. And i just remember playing with my older brother getting a bunchof dirt to build up to the minecraft sign in the sky i also remember we thought the only way to get glass was if a creeper blew it up ! i miss those dayssssss

I wish more people would make simple survival content like you. Not just for nostalgia but also to take a break from this new age of content where everything is fast paced and edits are exploding in your face every second🔥

I used to watch a lot of Minecraft when I was little, people like StampyLongLegs and BallisticSquid and even some PrestonPlayz. I stopped watching them a good 7 years ago and didn’t really pay any attention to Minecraft except for when Dream vs. Runners was a big thing. I absolutely love the way you commentate while you play and how you interact with your community, really makes me love the game again and find the childhood joy i once had. Keep up the amazing worth dude, much love from Texas 🤠

Bro, your videos have some sort of majestic tone to them. I love it

New to your channel and I must say your videos are SO immersive~! It’s super impressive and wonderful to watch. Especially when you entered the Nether and your voice started echoing made me feel like I was there with you. Keep up the amazing work mate. Found my new favourite channel for sure! Definitely binge watching your channel today~ sending love from Australia 🙏🤍

I've always wondered why old minecraft has that feeling that is so hard to explain atleast for me for the past years, only until recently I was able to pinpoint what it is, but first of all, minecraft for me now represents time. A time wherein everything was still so simple, a time wherein the only problems I had was to figure out what to eat by dinner, always drink water and be mindful enough so I wont be holding my pee for a long time cuz I was so absorb in the game. Those things represents the time and a state of mind I had when I was younger, in fact for all of us, we were all once was kids. exploring this vast, vast blocky world. I find it mesmerizing that the closest thing I could now compare DH was the fog on older versions, theyre the complete opposite but it took me a while to figure out why but now I knew it. It was the mystery the fog creates. The fog creates this illusion of these unending world just waiting to be discovered. Now this, Distant Horizons gives the complete opposite of it, maybe a more grown up approach to it, it gives and provides the realization of just how vast the world is. You see, for me its like a representation of a kid growing up. when you were a kid, you had all this time to exists in a world you created yourself, thats why the fog works. But as you grew up, you have more things you carry, your responsibility increases, and you no longer have that much time to sink in to it without it fading out and realizing you have other shit to do. Time is now a luxury for us. But at the end of the day, it was still the mystery that gives us meaning. to live. I guess thats also where the saying "Ignorance is bliss" came from, sometimes its so uplifting or at the very least its weightless and effortless existing without knowing anything, without a care in the world, like a kid just walking on a foggy blocky world. where just existing is more than enough of a reason to live.

It's Friday, I get sushi for dinner every Friday, it's a nice sunny day out today, Flowstate uploaded a new video as well!? Life is good man. The amount of sheer excitement that runs through my veins whenever you post a new video is mesmerizing. The nostalgia and unconditional happiness I get from watching these videos is truly like none other. I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing what you do. Please never stop, I believe you will make this into a full time career for yourself with thousands of people looking up to you. Thank you..

Just started playing again. After finding your channel, it was definitely what inspired me to get back on. Love the videos, keep it up man.

I never played minecraft as a child, I started playing at 23 & I'm 26 this June. I started just after caves & cliffs, as an adult I missed out on the magic as a kid but as a adult this is what I know & even now I'm in awe. I have 1062 hours clocked & loved every moment other than void deaths💀

idk why but the items actually moving to where you click in your inventory is so nostalgic for some reason

When I was a wee lad, my first time experiencing Minecraft was on my PS3 watching my older brother and sister play. I remember 2 distinct things from back then. - - - - - - - - - I would always go and play on the tutorial mode as I didn’t know how to play survival or creative yet. Usually I’d get stuck on the tutorials and not know what to do, but then I discovered creative mode and just flew around exploring the tutorial maps. The maps were so good, I remember my older siblings saying that they built the mountain village map, funnily enough I believed it back then LOL. - - - - - - - - - My next memory takes place a few years later. Me and my little sister had a amazing creative world we played in because we were absolutely terrified of playing survival. This creative world had everything you’d expect, random buildings made of ore blocks, diamond and gold blocks, etc. a random McDonald’s built in it, a super market with a little note block thing in front of it, and lots of railways and roller coasters! I pretty much built everything while my sister built a few things.

8:05 The “A lot faster going up the mountain on a horse” clip reminds me of the Viva la Dirt League skit of them going straight up on horseback 😂

Literal chills with that intro. Great video Flow!

Hey Flow, I just found your channel not long ago and I think this brings a breath of fresh air to Minecraft. When you said that you were concerned about someone else being in the world and about horror games being comedic with jumpscares, it made me think that there's a few mods that could add the horror aspects that people felt as kids back to minecraft (without ruining its awe). I'd recommend two simple mods which are Hardcore darkness (optional) and From The Fog (not the modpack, just the original mod). You can set the Herobrine spawn rates to incredibly low settings so that he has minimal impact on your gameplay experience (if he can be added to this version). I think it'd be interesting to have those very rare moments where you start to figure out you're not alone in this world... Regardless if you do it or not, I'll still enjoy this series and wish you the best with the future :)

My favorite activity in all of Minecraft is to explore and create landmarks in anywhere catches my attention, either be small cabins, igglos, sky islands, towers, bunkers. camps, etc. It makes the journey even more meaningful, knowing that at the end you the world will remember you.

About the game mechanic of the ocean monument jump scare, I’d like to say that they actually didn’t intend for it to be a “jump scare” per say and that it was only meant to be a visual indication of when you got mining fatigue, but they accidentally made it a jump scare for a lot of people but decided to leave it in because it was funny. Also the reason why most jump scares feel so cheap is because there is usually little to no buildup for them in most horror games, but when there is good buildup then a jump scare can be really good.

i love these videos, the cinematics, the echos and sound effects, the mods and shader, its just perfect

man, i really love flowstate's content. all his minecraft videos are so atmospheric and chill. makes me feel cozy and nostalgic :)

I just opened youtube. Perfect vid for dinner

I love how enthusiastic you are in this video, absolutely enjoyed watching it

Loove the vibes of your vids, the music too, love it

Your videos make minecraft feel dreamy again

i love these videos dont stop

Dude, I am so glad that you're back to making Minecraft vids. This video honestly just made me happy

Love your videos ❤ keep it up dude!!

Thanks for another banger, really helps me sleep at night when life is stressful...

The first seconds of this vid made me cry. I was already a bit emotional fsr, I admit. But... just... thank you, friend. Whould love to play with you.

Honestly my favorite RU-vidr❤❤❤

Honestly, I would love a Let's Play from you in this kind of style. Like a Journal type of thing. It's so relaxing to watch Minecraft like this compared to all these hyper active videos.

i love the cinematography, it is just chef's kiss it fits in perfectly with the music. where do you get the soundtracks you use?

the lava pool looked like a heart!!

cool, i made a similar modpack with my siter too, its real nice. also why you on a 4090 on 1080p? im on 4k with 3070ti so shaders aint even an option for me anymore :/

i can't express how it feels watching your videos. thank you.

Again, another bussin video to light up my day 🔥🔥

I always get a smile on my face when you post, there is never a disappointing video. I can tell you put in the time and effort doing what you love. Thank you for making your dream a reality so we can enjoy the fruits of your labors

Awesome episode! I swim with dolphins too - they always lighten my spirit and make me smile.

just traveling in the map for different view, that could be my next project. If there is a mod for airballon or airship to just carry stuff and act like a base. Love it!

u always make me want to play minecraft thx

hi! i recommend you also use the arboria and arboria saplings datapacks, they basically just make trees look 10x prettier

im so gonna watch this as i fall asleep oh im so ready

Great video!

I think i enjoyed minecraft a lot more as a kid because i was only focused on building a house or "how do i make a chest??" now i find myself doing everything easisly but drifting off in my mind about my next competition or when my shift starts tomorrow kind of thing. and despite my shit pc, i actually really enjoyed this mod and it was really pleasing, thank you again flowstate:)

this is why I love the modding community of many games they add more to the game whilst not pushing it to the player you can try it and whatnot but nobody is pressuring you to do it and everything is super new to you if you rarely play modded like me

Can't wait for the next episode!

A giant walled medieval city like Carcassonne on the plateau would be awesome.

Hey! I came across your channel a few months ago and checking in again now; your content is progressing amazing man! You have a great vibe with your videos. What types of shaders and mod packs do you use?!

You should play dawncraft with the usual good looks you add to the game that would be a great series. Minefortress series would be great too.

been excited for more survival with distant horizons

Holy guacamole I might have theory that flowstate listened to my mod recommendations :o P.S I like the cinematic videos :D

Love your videos man always making my state better❤. My new monitor is coming soon so I can play when I do I wanna play with this mod pack. What’s the name?

I love your style of videos. Do you edit them yourself?

I would love to see a series of village building without plan, every episode would be different building, tower, bridge

Yay, you are continuing the survival world, was kinda worried you abondened it

Also if you haven’t encountered what I call “the search effect” don’t get into the loop because when you really want to set up a camp or something you keep getting distracted by structures and don’t even get a moment to rest where it’s actually desolate but that’s just me tho

If I had this back in the Legacy Console days I would never turn to any other game.

I want to see the iris dh combo in vr, it just sounds so cool.

What an amazing video! 🤯 How do you render the replaymod without visual glitches?

nice

that's my mind set playing Minecraft like a kid. Like making a house of diamond like a Stampy house design u know? And it makes me love Minecraft again.

Want to ask what is the mod that displays the small text above the hotbar of the name of a mob and its health, it is such a simple mod, but I can not find it, not even in your modpack, can you give the name of it? Also it is great that a channel of your size you still read the comments and even reply to them, truly the goat.

Amazing stuff 🤍🤍

Yessssss les goooo

sorry im late, i wanted to watch this in the coziest way possible but i didnt had time anyways ill prob watch again later also HOLY F*CK THIS THUMBNAIL IS SO BEAUTIFUL

Do you think you could build a comic style secret lear (not sure of the spelling sry) for your next building with no plan video. I think it would be a cool idea so i thought id put it out there.

15:59 THE ONE WHATTTTTTT!!!!!!!

put it on one of the boats in your hardcore world and it'll be sick

The bob ross of minecraft

Your distant horizons LODs blend so well with your shader. Is this Bliss?

For the boat you gotta exit it before it hits the ground

What shaders are you using? And how did you load so many chunks? Love your videos bro

I'm new to the channel, ever since you posted your first video with distant horizons I've been hooked and I've really enjoyed getting back into the game, so thank you so much for making these videos. Ever since I saw that island you started I've had a build Idea that I really want to do so I've been looking but I just can't find an island quite like it. I know I've already asked and you've been asked a few times already by others but could you please post the seed? I'm begging 😭

Bro I love this series, thanks for what you do. Keep cooking this delicius let's play Minecraft. I am waiting for the next episode. Byyee

nice video!

Did you download a mod for your worlds or something bc your mountains and biomes always look so much cooler than mine. Are you playing on an amplified world or is it just luck?

I feel like Mojang needs to focus less on adding random features that nobody will ever see and put some effort instead into improving performance and just making the game better in ways that everybody will experience. This video made me want to play Minecraft, but I know the things I see will never rival this in terms of beauty. It's kinda sad how Minecraft has lost so much of the wonder it used to have, and I wish I could play the game the way you do.

damn 56 seconds. ive never been this early. loving every new vid i see

@flowstate can you explain besides the DH mod, how to setup the terrain to make maps like that? I have Terralith showing in my mods but I don't get that kind of realistic earth map generation. I'm still seeing funky Minecraft tiny biomes.

now this combination needs; a better structure generation which is rarer but bigger, better transportation, bigger portable storage. also atlas mod would be nice on this atmosphere. there is a new mode that you can build actually working ships, that would be nice as well, you could even make it your base.

What are all the mods you’re using in the video? I use your better adventures modpack, but I’m seeing stuff here that’s new to me

hey Flowstate do you know in average how many fps do you get on MC when playing like in your latest video ? are you capping your fps too ?

hey i love your channel but i have a question, in the modpack (better adventures+) there are some missing mods like tierdz or the backpack mod, etc.

i JUST played minecraft perfect timing!

love watching the vids, and im atually playing your modpack right now, its super fun. and question, how do you turn up some of the lods because i only have a 3050 so a start to lag at about 50-60 chunks or if i get near a jungle, or bamboo forest

what shaders are you using? I can't seem to get any to work with distant horizons Edit: it seems you need iris 1.7.0 (which i dont have) and distant horizons 2.0.2a (which i also do not have) but the only way to install those latest versions is through the irsi installer, where did you get the jars? Edit 2: to anyone reading this, get the iris installer and change the directory to a folder you can quickly access, then navigate through the install folder and find the distant horizons and iris jars to put into your own mods folder if you would like to use them with a modpack, enjoy!

nice!

Honestly I think I’m just gonna start some worlds in the first releases of this game and gradually update it to get that experience again. I started on ps3 in 2013 or 2014 and my mind was blown when I discovered boats didn’t break anymore. I’m gonna go through that again for some nostalgia factor action. Screw shaders. 1000 fps 2013 minecraft here I come.

babe wakeup, flow posted another video

With the terrain generation and texture packs, are those in the most recent update of BA+ or did you add those specific ones into it to make your own?

on modrinth has a texture to fix the white breaking block animation with bliss shaders

yurrr

I’m soon going to get a good pc / gaming setup and I’m excited to play Minecraft how it should be played. I’m getting a RTX 3090 do you think I will be able to run this?

The Terrence Malick of minecraft.

did you add distant horizons to Better Adventures+ Pack? if so how do i enable it, because I cant see that far.

Dos distant horizons do like a world generation over haul? Cuz if it’s the thing making the terrain then I’m going to install it

if only my pc could run all that

Which version of BetterAdventures+ Are you on with this video, and were there any mods like distant horizons or shaders that you added on your own accord?

God I want to do this too, but I'm using a laptop for everything and I don't feel like burning my house down

New begginings timestamp looks like Svaneti, Georgia (the country)
