if you ever feel useless, remember that last glass window

Ahh, nostalgia. The books are a decent jumping-off point, albeit slightly outdated in terms of crafting recipes and priorities. Good times.

These books capitalize on the energy of the early Minecraft era, when we weren't sure what was in the game and just figured it out. Minecraft wiki down for some reason, people mixing mod crafting recipes with real ones, it felt like everyone who knew their shit could write a strategy guide on the game. But everyone's would be different, not everyone knew everything yet. Anyone remember how the first minecraft guide smelled? I saved up money to preorder the book with my Scholastic Book Fair school, got it in a walmart bag for some reason lmao and it smelled weird, super hype but still not certain why it smelled so unique

I used these books to actually play in survival 😂😂😅 back when they came out. I always had to use the combat book to see how to make every potion. I know how to build so I dont need the building book 😎😎😎😎😎😏

Not sure why, but I sometimes prefer videos that are barely edited.. and this video is perfect

I appreciate that you play with the music on. Most youtubers don't bother, but I think it adds so much to the atmosphere

I didn’t know the devs intended you to use ladder for mining. That’s so strange considering they always tell you not to dig straight down

I remember buying this set from the Scholastic Book Fair back when I was in 6th grade! I think I enjoyed looking over the books more than playing the actual game. Nice video!

It feels so.... enjoyable. I miss those times when I was playing Minecraft Xbox 360 and doing everything the guidebooks told me

You know, I was thinking to myself "did anyone ever actually seriously use these books aside from just fun little experiments like these?" until I realized that I had been doing the farming from the handbook for years until I learned of the modern, more efficient way. On top of that, I had also been using the "dig in a hill" trick if I hadn't built a house yet. It's awesome to see things like this.

Those books really sound like something ChatGPT would make.

A lot of minecraft channels can just seem like the lowest common denominator of mass produced content, this channel seems like a really refreshing break in that. Keep up the good work!

please do a part 2 with the redstone and construction handbooks

thank you for not yelling the whole video and not having a million things on the screen at once like most minecraft videos that get recommended

i once had the full bookset of these minecraft books i gave them to a friend to borrow i havent seen that friend in years

I remember these books. My parents agreed to buy them for me when we saw them in a shop, but they forgot. I took them and walked out the store, as I didn’t know what robbery was at the time. My mum practically had a panic attack when she discovered what I’d done.

This guy is underrated he needs more subs.

This was such a calm and soothing video, Its nice to see people who dont constantly scream, so I appreciate that👍✨

The nostalgia hits hard with this one. I have all the four books, so I might as well try it out myself

I bought these at a scholastic book fair in 2015 and treated them as gospel for a few years 😂

There’s something special about Minecraft guidebooks to me. It’s just nostalgia, but I love reading about a game I know so much about.

I had (and I believe I still might have it in here somewhere!) the construction handbook. The builds included in the book were actually pretty interesting, but are of course now dated due to the addition of many new blocks. The instructions however were... not exhaustive, to say the least, so you mostly had to use the given picture for reference. I distinctly remember how one build used two anvils for a cooking grill. Very creative!

I remember wanting those back in 2014/15/16 and i just never got my mum to buy them for me, but all in all they hold up really good almost 10 years later!

Who doesn't have at least one of the books isn't a real Minecrafter

I love the suppressed anger but calmness through most of the video. I loved these books, I’ve got all 4 and all of the new Minecraft Guides

The OG minecraft guide books are basically the infinity stones of minecraft

11:31 Magically gets 1 eye of ender

This vid reminded me that the ender dragon fight is a really good video game boss if you aren’t ripping it in half with beds

This guy is kind of like Bob Ross if Bob Ross was bad at Minecraft instead of good at painting

I used to have the construction handbook. I used one of the tutorials in there to make a large house with a wrap-around balcony

I love the tranquility that this guy manages, it makes me very peaceful to see him

the patience you have is INSANE and very admirable, awesome video!!!

Your voice is soothing, gives the video a more chill vibe 😊

Dude the part where it told you to build the beacon to find your home because of what PaulSoares Jr did feels very 2013

Holy bro you just brought make the memory of me getting these at the book fair when I was in 2nd grade shits crazy

I remember going to the book fair and getting them and looking at the pages with screenshots of the old Minecraft is just nostalgic

i really like your narration! this video was a really great run down memory lane! i remember for my 10th birthday my mom got me the box set of the guides (i still have them in my room!)

Such a good video! The way you sounded so calm after all your Nether deaths 😭 I would’ve lost it tbh

9:30 to 10:10 just shows how annoying the new nether is.

when i was a kid, i would collect these books religiously at the school book fair. ah, the memories

these books were my childhood. i tried everything in all of them, but the only practical one was the TNT tree trap. also the same genshin impact ad kept playing over this video

this video takes me back, i had (and still have) the beginners handbook and i used to read it religously

Gotta say this was satisfying to watch... I want more in this exact style in this exact type of content

I found my books while we were moving, I was so surprised I even had them. It’s funny to find this video cause anyone rarely brings them up anymore.

this was such a calming video holy…

This was nice to watch at 2am haha. Thanks for the nostalgic content

i had those 4 books when they came out, great vid

all i have to say about this video is that 1. i really like your voice and the way you speak. Its very relaxing and this video was great to watch before I went to bed. 2. I found this video by chance and its really nostalgic, I used to use thoose handbooks to play minecraft as a kid on my ps3, the good ol days

Ngl your calming voice is so nostalgic it's perfect for this kind of videos

This video is a nice reminder of the early days of Minecraft let’s play. Keep up this style of content.

Underrated as heck!! You deserve more subs bro!

love the editing and calming voice and your overall style. subbed

I still have these books, thanks for making me pick it up again! They are so nostalgic, you missed some minor tasks but i'll let it slide heh. Great video.

When we all ran to these books in elementary school. Good times

i remember getting the first one for my 9th birthday :) still have it. always used it step by step just because. so seeing someone else play the game that way felt really good

i remember buying these books when i was real little and they first came out, i still have them on my bookshelf

I bought these books for my sister when they came out as a box set. She really loved them. I miss her so much.

I STILL HAVE THESE BOOKS. I love them and cherish them till this day

Your voice is so calming and soothing, I think it’s so cute and lovely to listen to >

You were really patient and chill despite how many times you died... Respect

These books are so nostalgic

Very cool video. Love how relaxed it is

I remember having all 4 books when I was younger, looking back it feels like the stones for the infinity gauntlet. I'm sad I can only find one of them to this day but man those books bring in the feels

Your voice is super calming. I love the content

Very relaxing video. Your voice is oddly soothing.

I wanted these books back in the day and I got them for christmas that year and I loved them

I remember my first book in the series was the redstone handbook. Fast forward to today and I have all the original books (pre-updated guides for those who aren't familiar). The books still have some details that are accurate to the game, while some aren't.

I had those books when I was a kid, absolutely loved reading them, they were awesome.

I’ve still got all these books, the nostalgia is unreal

Im watching this video while laying in bed and im going to be honest ur voice is so calming im about to fall asleep 😅

I used to have all 4, my dad sold them but I have the building booklet. amazing vid

Keep up the good work bro !

The books had some good advice. I like that It stated to make a shelter on your first night and get a bed. These are crucial things to do for people new to Minecraft.

I remember this world so well, 2014 was the year I started playing Minecraft on PS4.

bro these books were the holy grail of the scholastic book fair back in elementary school! the memories

Just subscribed, happy 1k dude

I love your voice its so relaxing

I still have all of them got them back in the day when i was playing 360 edition with my friends, we built that house from the construction handbook

Amazing video! Please make a part 2!

These books were like a bible to me

This guy is like the Bob Ross of Minecraft or something like that much love man 💙

Those are the sacred text they hold the knowledge of a thousand years

Top tier nether soundtrack choice

This was so chill I had to sub

this gave me a weird sense of comfort and nostalgia

Hearing this was very nice you aren’t over the top

i like how your not talkative and your pretty chill this was entertaining to watch tbh

Every now and then, even with how much Minecraft has advanced over the years, I still like to play as if it had just come out over a decade ago 💜

My dad used my brother's handbooks on our ps3 when he did his world. He planned to dig out underneath the entire world, and when we got more controllers, we helped him

The Bible and the Minecraft: Essential Handbook

I still have 3 of the 4 books and it always makes me laugh to see those old pieces of history sitting around my house

Part of me yearns for the old legacy console editions again. Those were the days. Those books are the sacred texts!

great video man!

holy shit the nostalgia is flooding back. Who remembers the elevator from the end of the redstone handbook

The minimal talk is very refreshing

Theres something so wholrsome about these instructions, interacting with every game mechanic even though theyre non essential. I never realised how muvh i want "make a cute garden" to br a rral requ8rment to beat the game

Stay on da grind. Your gonna be huge one day

I have still have these books! So nostalgic

Please, Ive always wanted this.

this video made me laugh. thank you for that, really.
