I’ve started recording this video a few times because no matter how long I’ve had to think in advance of what I want to say when it comes to sitting down in front of the camera and formulating the words it’s kind of challenging so I’m planning to retire from making Minecraft gameplay videos on This channel it’s been a very long run over 13 years which is something I never would have imagined I could say back when I started and and it’s been a staple kind of content here for most of that time barring a little break in there somewhere for the Reddit reaction Content so this isn’t something that I I take lightly but I think at this point it is the correct decision I can’t tell you exactly how long it’s taken to reach this point cuz it’s something that happens gradually but I’d say for at least the last year probably half the Time I upload a new Minecraft video on this channel within the first hour I’m thinking to myself like I should have just done this as a live stream and uploaded it to Captain Sparkles 2 which Speaking of no changes planned for live streaming and and the VOD uploads on the second Channel That’s business as usual if you want to keep watching over there and to be very clear even on this channel this is not me stopping making content as a whole but more specifically when it comes to Minecraft Gameplay content if I were to continue doing it it would Really only take me down one of two paths on one hand I could keep doing what I’m doing and watch in the coming years as the audience slowly whittles down or I could make a a hard pivot in my content become a a master builder Perhaps or just do a 100 days content or go really really kid oriented roleplay and the first option seems a little sad truth be told and the second option it’s just not really where I’m at after 13 plus years so it leaves the third option which is to go out not Necessarily on top I mean I was never the biggest Minecraft Channel out there but at least I can say I I got to a point where I’m proud of what I’ve been able to do over the years and I can focus on the next step which that’s not To say Minecraft will never be seen again here we’ve still got to finish our our sendoff and also even in the future sure I I wouldn’t rule out a possible music video or even a tier list or the fact that Minecraft could be covered in more of a direct to camera Vlog like This where we we talk about something pertaining to the game but it’s not necessarily playing through a map or a data pack or or doing a let’s play and I think it’s time that when it comes to those formats we finally pass the torch on Captain Sparkles 2 but I did mention A sendoff and that is that the hardcore all advancement series series I started yesterday will be the final Minecraft series on this channel so I’m going to see that through until either I I die or I complete all the advancements I just thought that no mods high stakes Complete the game or die trying would be a A fitting way to go out here you know and if that does come to an end early I’m still planning on on seeing through all the snapshots to the 1.21 update because I started those and also it kind Of pertains to the series since we’re doing that in the 1.21 snapshots so hopefully I will outlive 1.21 coming out but just in case I don’t I still do plan on on seeing the snap shots through the end as for the future beyond the hardcore all advancements sendoff I Don’t want to make any promises though as I’ve said before I do like the idea of doing more of these direct to camera Vlogs covering what I see as an interesting topic and I think that as we have all grown up together here in many cases that’s the sort of content that a Lot of you actually find more compelling these days anyway but we’ll just have to see there could be some huge unexpected hit game that arrives next month and all of a sudden we’re jumping headlong into content on that I have no idea and I think it’s unwise to completely write Anything off even the possibility of well something unexpected comes up with Minecraft and there’s like some incredible opportunity and again even after we Sunset things here Captain Sparkles 2 will still be going did I man did I do this whole thing and I forgot to turn on the green Screen I can’t even do these kinds of videos right oh my goodness thanks for sticking with me and and watching the videos the Minecraft videos for over 1 years um it’s been a it’s been a fun run and I’ll see you in the next video which will actually be a Minecraft video Video Information

After 13 years, I think it’s reached the point where it’s time to wind down the Minecraft gameplay content here. If you still enjoy watching it, there will be plenty more on @CaptainSparklez2 that will continue to go up. Vlogs Playlist ► https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7CAD74F5CCE09549
