"You now know minecraft... but was it worth it?" Honestly such a good line. Very well done video

there is an italian streamer that never played minecraft and always snobbed it like "it's a child game", but some months ago made a live just for meme and from then he started taking it seriously by playing without reading the chat and being aways more as possible from the spoilers. now he's continuing the series and is discovering everything little by little and it's amazing. the community is so taken that has made a website so track the progress, for the recipies that he discovered, clips , quests and notes he've taken like it's a story. i think that are very few games that can make all of this

This video kinda brought a tear to my eye. the storytelling is immaculate. This makes me realize that Minecraft is an experience I need to cherish, its something I only got to experience to the fullest once.

this just makes me wanna experience it all over again

Welp guess I don’t know Minecraft

This was very inspirational, I had flashbacks about myself in the old versions. I was confused aswell; and yeah, we won't be living the same moment. But you must remember. *"Don't be sad because it's gone, smile because it happened."*

This video reminds me of the Minecraft book “The Island”, which is one of my favorites. Being dropped into this world and learning what to do with just trying things is an amazing concept

As a Minecraft Speedrunner and someone who knows to much about the game. This makes me feel like I am playing again for first time but on modern minecraft. I kinda needed this video it brings me back somehow all of this is really cool. So good job in the editing and storytelling

even though neve’s upload schedule isnt the best, he never fails to impress us

This video is a work of art. From how the music of Celeste, Mario, and Undertale are used. to how the story is told. this is one of the videos I will watch over and over, if not the only video I will watch over and over. this video is so familiar that you can call it an exact replica of what we all went through. The first house, the discovery of tools, getting used to the controls. this one might be specific to me but discovering iron isn't seeds in stone and can only be mined by Stone, Iron, Diamond, or Netherite tools. I almost cried at the end message because its sad knowing you cant forget it, you cant un-remember. maybe this noob can teach us how to play the game properly, not rushing to the end because you've already done it. This, is the real way to play minecraft, don't make haste of your game, enjoy it.

what amazing storytelling... if only I started playing minecraft on survival instead of creative... maybe I would've made life-long memories like blanche did.

This... this... it's immense. The amount of nostalgia I got from this! I was soo happy watching Blanchhe slowly progress. This video have me a new look at a game i've been playing for almost 10 years! Thank you, man! This is awesome.

genuinely SUCH a banger video. it's so cool how an unexperienced player can do so much, and have so much fun. how does this have under 600 views and 13 comments?? this is amazing!

There is an old Japanese letsplay (with English subtitles) where he goes in completely blind. After seeing the advancement to create a nether portal, he spends a long time trying things, and eventually asks a friend what the advancement says in other languages. From there, he figures out it’s not something he can craft, and after a while longer of building, he figures it out. I wish I still had the link to that letsplay, no matter how painful it is to watch At the time he did it, the recipe book and ruined portal didn’t exist, so the game was incredibly unfriendly to those without outside connection

After watching this video, I've had the same feeling when you read a really really great book and you don't want it to end, search for maybe 2nd part and don't find it. Or when you have a really good dream and it ends, you try to sleep again and fail. Anyways, really great story telling. Inspired me to launch that game again after a break.

I feel like Neve is the only other person in the world that finally understands why games are boring, I've played a lot of different games and soon realized that its the learning, improving and the satisfaction to finally get how a part of the game works that is fun and usually takes up to 60% of all the fun you will have in that game. There are not a lot of games that have long and complicated aspects to learn like terraria or hypixel skyblock, but when these games do eventually come out and get played, all we do is blow all the fun of learning away by watching videos on them or asking a friend to make them better. The reason why people don't want spoilers is because the fun of learning something new is to everyone, and yet people still hate school. When a friend asks you to help them, don't just give them what they need, or they will get greedy and after they are done playing for the first time, they will stop and think that's the end of the game. But truly in every game there is just not the main goal to think about, but all the other small things you can be doing like having your own goals, like in Minecraft can be having all the disks or making all your farms automatic. Merci Neve for showing people the truth because I feel only a few people like you that actually get how it works.

This is SOOOO GOOD! Your storytelling is on point! Makes me want to actually forget everything and just play the game for the first time again...

This is a masterpiece of a video! Then entire time I anticipated everything that Blanche did, seeing myself in the mistakes she made in game. I really miss when Minecraft felt like a journey, when it felt like an untold story where you have to figure out all the pieces and put them together. I shed a tear towards the end. Thank you for creating this!

This is definitely one of my favorite videos on RU-vid, great job! I hope RetroGamingNow sees this

This nostalgia and feeling to experience new things in various games, something that wont return and also to improve and learn things that may seem simple is what makes us truly rewarded through excitement and curiosity.

the one person who understands that creative content like this is what makes minecraft still exiting i know want to reset my mindset and go into mc with a fresh mind

Timestamps for the video Start: 0:00 End: 25:50

Man, you made me cry TwT There's so much nostagia about this game, this era

AMAZING VIDEO LIKE ALWAYS! Everything is just perfect, crazy story telling and funny moments, the character development is really cool I just loved it! Happy to see you making video again, keep it up I can't wait to see what you will do next Neve! (I latterly started clapping alone at the end) Also that Netti voice actor did amazing and has such a cute voice ;D

You deserve more credit man, this video is so well crafted, so well edited, the story was told so well... damn

Nicely edited fam

Ok. What the actual fuck?? How do you have so much quality??!!! I feel like this is a movie. The intro bro, the end, the fucking editing, bro you're a legend.

This is genuinely one of the best Minecraft videos out there. This brought back so many memories from when I first started playing minecraft! It is such a great concept, and I've only seen one other video on it (although that one focused more on the mechanics and the question "would it be possible" rather than the more story driven aspects of this video).

Had to take off my mask in awe when i saw a Neve notification, I can’t wait to see what you’ve made big sister!

You're not wrong to be proud of the intro. Rather impressive editing and timing you gave it. Hits just right. Good work!

I wanted someone to make this video for so long, I'm so happy someone finally did.

Very good writing and a extremly interesting story. I may have not experienced minecraft in the newer version all my myself my first experience with the game were just like that back when I was less than 10. The moment with the crafting table reminded me of when I first crafted then managed to use a nether reactor all on my own without any information(I played on mobile back then). It's very nostalgic for me and at the same time kinda sad as I know this way of experiencing minecraft is now extremly rare cuz we all know the game. I'm glad to be one of the people who got to experience this game for the first time just like this(except I didn't have advancement, the game was in english and I didn't speak that at the time and was too young to know how to do most things since how is a 7 years old meant to know glass is made from sand). Overall a wonderful video telling a really good story, for me and many others I assume a trip back into memories, I don't know how other viewers will feel about this video but I don't doubt it'll be in a really good experience

I love this video I wish it had been a 2 hour long documentary instead

I'll never be able to relive starting minecraft for the first time especially when the game has changed so much from when I started. Usually if I want to feel nostalgic again, I just go back to an old version of minecraft and play in my first mc beta world. It brings some of the nostalgia back but it will never be the same.

7:50 if we lived in Minecraft our great achievement wouldn’t be discovering fire, it would be discovering the crafting table.

I want that feeling again, even though I lost it

Now that I read the description it totally hooked me up Can't wait for the premiere to see what you have in store for us!

I clicked on this video thinking it was going to be a rant about enchantment vs enchanting table I ended this video with more motivation to play Minecraft than I’ve ever had

I still remember when I was 10 playing Minecraft at a friend's house for the first time and being terrified because giant spiders apparently existed so I just hid in a hole and sometimes came out to get logs. I still remember being in creative, building a giant cobblestone rectangle with lava walls on the inside, and then discovering a village with no villagers. No idea what a village was, and genuinely thought maybe somebody else built it... Confused, me and my brothers went ahead and built an underground railway system back and forth because it seemed like we should. Finding villages, lighting up deserts, figuring out how rails worked... those were good times.

damn, this really hits hard i still remember dying to skeleton and then being sad about it the whole day. This is such a well done video, the storytelling, the voice, almost everything is perfect. Keep it up! :D

Wow. This video really makes me realize the precious moments I had with my first survival worlds. And I now understand why it isn't the same anymore. Thank you Neve.

This is the third video that I put in my favorite folder that I had for over a year, thank you for entertaining me ❤

Reminds me of PiroPito's blind playthrough of Minecraft. I noticed that he was on your inspiration list, which is so cool!

Sent a shiver down my spine like 10 times. Out of the great literary language use though.

I have a friend who had never played minecraft, barely even knew anything about it, until about a year ago. I play with them a lot now, but I’m a little sad that I never got to see their experience first playing it because that must have been truly magical.

sorry for bad english but i have to say that. i can tell without hesitation, the best minecraft video i have seen so far. i almost cried because of the nostalgia i have got from the video. i remember, right after i have got from school, i was playing with my best friend in my low-end pc all the day. we was playing the version 1.5.2 and i get only 30 fps. i literally dont know why but we keep playing, untill my mom calls me to buy bread for dinner. a little break and we kept on mining. what a great game... that innocence is priceless and i know i will not get that feeling again. that made me sad, but thanks for this great video.

I love this video. I have been playing Minecraft for over 12 years, and by this point, so much is instinctive and obvious, but it's incredible to remember how it was to play for the first time without knowing anything.

Holly crap! This was an experience. The way that he made this video is amazing, the musics that he choose (that just so happened to be my favorite video games's music) was right on the spot and, of course, this amazing feeling of reliving my childhood was incredible. Thank you a lot for making this

bro... this really brings back the days

This video captures a beautiful sense of nostalgia I haven't seen anywhere else on RU-vid thusfar. Your choice of music, your writing, the premise itself. Love it all.

I've come to enjoy seeing others discover and beat Minecraft more than I actually enjoy playing it.

I put off watching this video for a bit, but it was great, good job! I just wanna mention a certain RU-vidr here: Piropito. He started his playthrough in 2017. He had the goal of playing the game completely blind, no outside information at all. He still plays to this day. He created every configuration of obsidian imaginable and lit them all with a flint and steel to create a nether portal (ruined nether portals didn't exist back then). He's conquered bastions, ocean monuments, and even the Wither, though he needed a hint from his friend to build it (one word: painting). He's gotten the elytra, built a massive villager trading hall (before he knew about breeding he imported them all by minecart one by one), mined out tens of thousands of cobblestone manually, and tons more. Kingbdogz, the creator of the Aether mod and now a developer at Mojang, said he binged the entire series over one weekend. Sadly he doesn't do Minecraft too much anymore since he's developing his very own horror game, but damn his playthrough is amazing.

I really love how this covers the entire journey of a completely new player. It's both a testament to how awesome the game is blind, and how far Minecraft has come in trying to teach the player what to do.

Just discovered about your channel and I'm already subscribing! We NEED to see more of Blanche's adventure, she has so much more to discover!

Congratulations on making the best minecraft video I have seen in months The animations, the voice, the music... it was perfect. It was really relaxing, and I loved it. This is the type of content I would expect from a youtuber with millions of subs. Seriously, it was amazing

This makes me apriciate Minecraft a lot more also all these relatively new biomes in the caves etc.

The first tears came when she lit the portal. I remember playing minecraft on my xbox 360 with an old best friend maybe ten years ago.. we were on a creative world because I was scared of survival at the time. We finally figured it out- out to go to the nether. There was no googling or watching tutorials.. just pure child-like wonder. The tears kept flowing for the rest of the video.

Why did wathcing this video make me so emotional? I've never experienced that feeling before.

Amazing Video you legend!

i don't know whats so powerful about this video. Is it the fact that it is about the single most influential thing in my life? Or is the story telling is so good? Is it because i am so regretful about the past and the fact that we cant do anything at all to change the past? Not just the storytelling and the production quality is high level, the concept, the idea is so on point. When i say idea, i don't mean nostalgia and past memories, we talk about that a lot.. all of us are sad about that. What i mean is this "new player" concept. How it makes me remember diffirent things, not just past memories, but feelings i can't quite explain. In the end, this video holds a special place in my mind and heart.

Beautiful video that sends a beautiful message, i literally grew up with minecraft, i still remember my first night. lost in a snowy forest without food and surrounded by monsters, the terror that gripped me did not allow me to leave my shelter and then death came, and together with death the spark was lit that led me to compulsively play this wonderful game.

This video was exactly my thought on minecraft since playing the new update. Awesome job man! The power and comfort of nostalgia.

Such an enjoyable watch, great video

Wow, that was... Something else. In a good way ofc :D Glad to see you uploading my friend! Can't wait to see where you'll go with these editing skills :0 the music was so appropriate

This feels like an essay, or reading a book, but better. Minecraft truly is a wonderful game. Thanks for reminding me of that!

this made feel so nostalgic.. thank you!

The fact that she has beaten the game in her first world makes me sad cause I’ve played for 4+ years and have never done it

This is increadible, very well made, has so many cool lines in it, and feel very nostalgic

Dogs are so underrated, I didn’t realise how useful they could be for new players

one of the only minecraft videos that i can watch again and again and again and again and again

WOAH- THAT WAS INCREDEBLE!! i loved every aspect of this video. I was so caught in the story...! It was entertaining, funny, saaaad but also very inspiring! I just loved it! We need more content from you!!!!

This video really made me enter a well hidden and closed part of my memory, and really captured the true essence of minecraft's cycle, the die and repeat type of cycle. Everything about learning just from trying over and over again, taking notes from your mistakes and eventually reaching the stage where you start understanding minecraft. That's a really good video!

this feel so familiar yet the experience she gone through feel so fresh

Dude I've been watching and making minecraft videos for YEARS and I have to say this might be the best one I've ever seen. Props to you neve!

I still get a lot of wow out of the game, i add a lot of mods now to java but stay vanilla on bedrock. This reminded me of not only my first experience with the game but also when I first introduced my wife (then friend) to it. I refused to give any information beyond how to make a crafting table and tools. It was almost cruel, but it was to preserve that sense of self discovery. Remembering those times brings a tear to my eye ❤

Thanks for the nostalgia trip man, I have to say that this is a feeling towards minecraft I haven’t felt for about 10 years or more. The feeling of innocent ignorance towards a game so meaningful as minecraft is one of the best feelings and moments someone can live.

this made me start playing minecraft again

I absolutely adore this editing style.

i thought this was gonna be just you trying to do a deep dive or something about minecraft but i was very pleasantly surprised and i love this video so much, if i could go back and relive my first time id do it and hell, i might not even play the next 5 updates just to attempt to relive the feeling, i know i cant relive the original but i just love watching somebody else learn it all from scratch, when tru died i really was heartbroken and i felt the same pain as when my first pet died but either way it was a journey and i wish to relive it again

this is really nice story telling!!! you should continue doing this!!!

i am so glad that i clicked on this video. the nostalgia and the feeling to want to play this game again for the first time actually almost made me cry. I wish minecraft will never end and they keep adding new stuff. All my life ive been playing this game and ive always been looking for ways to make it better. But it was already better. I just had to try new stuff instead of the same boring cycle.

I wanna just forget all about Minecraft and play it again, I want to fell this feeling again..

One of the best videos i've ever watched, keep up mate

Truly impressive. From the flawless wording to the gently engaging editing to the questions and thoughts woven through, this was very well done indeed. I can only hope to see more from Neve in the future.

Among all the other great parts of this video, I absolutely love your music choice. Earned a sub!

I had a friend way back, before crafting book, before hints, she never figured out crafting exists

Man watching this video felt like a journey itself. The editing is top notch. And this reminded me of my first days in Minecraft. Well done!! And I'm happy for her having to experience Minecraft for the first time

I think I did know this, every time I made a new world and stopped playing a a few days later. Every time I was left alone on a server surrounded by the derelict structures of my formerly eager friends. I knew it, not in a subtle way, but in a clear way. It’s the same reason I don’t use iron pickaxes even when I get Iron, or why so often people avoid or forget blast furnaces, we just don’t need it to be over faster. This was incredible.

I want to delete all my memories from this game now and start all over again

God, was this nostalgic for me. I spent like a month in early pocket edition not knowing how to craft.

Just got here, blessed by the algorithm. Honestly, I thought this video was going to be an arg about a person playing some creepypasta Minecraft game, turns out it was a super nice, nostalgic ode to all of our own beginnings, to learning, curiosity and having fun. Super good stuff, definitely subbing.

This is the first minecraft video that has brought me near tears

I cried from the beginning to the end, i miss those days, discovering everything for the first time, my old bases, first farms i made, first time playing with mods, playing with friends by LAN, it was beautiful. I lost that sense of purpose, now i just log on, make the same bases and farms, eventually getting bored. Thanks for making me remember why I love this game

man i clearly remember i was in that position, my favorite part is when i hit the pigman, i immediately regretted it and just ran away, you pretty much revived my memories

Loved the video! Exceptional and full of meaning. I really hope it goes viral because more people need to realize what certain games are truly all about. Plus it would be great for your channel. Great work!!

i want to feel like this again

This is a cinematic masterpiece. I got goosebumps so many times because the soundwork plus the nostalgic memories

I really like this video, I like how you told us so much without saying anything directly (at least, where I'm up to in the video)

The way this video is done, I can also get that feeling when you play the game for the first time Great job man
