Just some thoughts,

I've been tossing this idea around for quite some time now. I currently own a realm thats just sitting there not being used and ,at least for me, playing Minecraft with others is a lot more fun. So I'm wondering if running a multiplayer youtube group would be worth it.

If I were to do this, would there be anyone out there willing to take this on from scratch with me?

Here's some ideas about this off the top of my head,

-Vanilla MC (Since it would be hosted on the realm I currently own)

-Standard server rules would apply (No griefing, etc.)

-Everyone would have to have a youtube channel/twitch/other video uploading internet place

-Ideally, I'd like everyone to be fairly close in age (more chance of having things in common, etc.)

Let me know what you think!

Figured I'd put in a few things about me as well,

IGN - Solespawn

Age - 25

Location - Canada

Other - Been playing since mid alpha. Love the game as well as other open world survival games. Been casually dabbling with youtube for a while now.

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Hi i'm interested in it i send you a message on xbox.

Question: would this be survival-only or is creative a viable option? I'm not so big on standard survival MC, but if creative was allowed, I'd be happy to join. I'm something of a mapmaker so if you guys needed a person with technical experience in minecraft (namely commands, redstone, etc) I'd gladly help out.

Also, I'm not really a youtuber, but I'm fine with being in videos if you'd like. (Maybe if I can accumulate enough content to actually make viable youtube videos, I might start one day, but for now I'm laying low with that stuff.) I've just been searching for a place to apply my minecraft technical skills and helping out some youtubers kinda seemed like a perfect opportunity for me.

If you don't need a command block guy, or you're not comfortable with bringing in a non-youtuber, that's ok with me. I'm just offering something here, no pressure

FYI: I'm 18, I'm from the US, and I've been playing MC since 1.7 (started programming command blocks in 1.8). Just in case you needed info like that lol

I was thinking survival as it gives more opportunity for interesting content when it comes to videos. Although, I'm wondering if it would be an interesting idea if the realm were to have someone building stuff like obstacle courses/challenges/mini adventure maps? (This could be a possible way for you to fit in the way you want if this whole thing ends up being a thing.)

But yeah, I've just recently started thinking this thing through seriously so there is most definitely room for new ideas and whatnot.

I should also mention that as of now there is no group yet. All that exists of this idea is the realm I have and whats on this forum post.

Adventure maps sounds like a lot of fun! I've never actually done adventure/puzzle maps but I would be happy to try it out with this group. What I've normally done in the past is create PvP minigame maps (I've done several of those) and how it usually works is, I program everything and lay out my ideas, and I get a few friends to help me actually build the terrain and whatnot. If you'd like to see some of my work before "recruiting" me so to speak, I'd be happy to open my dedicated server and let you test out some of my minigames - I actually have two of them on my current server world

Also, we might wanna continue this conversation in a PM or even on discord or something. And if anyone else is interested we can invite them! My discord name is Conure512 if you want to add me.

So I've thought about things and have made a decision on where I'd like this to go.

I want to keep it pure survival. This is the way I like to play the game and I feel that if I want to start up a community, I'd have to stick to that.

Stormconure! I still think that the idea we spawned (totally not a name related pun) is a good one. However, for my reason stated above, I don't think it would fit with the kind of server I want to run. But thank you for your ideas and input. I love discussing things and whatnot!

Also, I have just recorded a recruitment video. Its very basic but it gets my points across. I'll be uploading it to youtube soon and I will be posting it in a thread in the server recruitment area of this forum. So keep your eyes open!

Here's the link to the thread!

I don't have any sort of video channel, but I would like to try this out if that's ok.

Alright, that's totally fine with me. I hope your youtube expedition goes well. If you ever decide to do anything technical or adventure or pvp related in the future, feel free to let me know!
