Minecraft, but I Taught Villagers How To Build. Check out I Made Minecraft Ocean's Terrifying, or if you enjoyed this video check out Who Made It Better? Mods VS Minecraft. Or of course, any of my I Coded Your Ideas In Minecraft videos!
The villages are like a sitcom and the players are like a war documentary
So true tho lol
Ye makes sense 😅
Yeah tue man ☠💀☠💀
-villagers : Love/resilience/peace/progress together. -players : War/hate/simplicity/betrayal/death.
Yeah, the players were way more realistic to humans and society
Yeah and then you’ve got the people who remember, hey Minecraft isn’t about that it’s about having fun not brutalist architecture and doing shit for the sake of “winning”
@@thedragonwarrior5861 Thats the thing about Minecraft Villagers though. They are visually portrayed as a different humanoid species to Players/Humans. ^^
I kind of dislike how the Lore was forced. Basically the person open the server, appointed staff members, and the staff members basically decided who gets to be in charge and they of course decided themselves.
Yeah, but it was kind of script heavy. Sending a Google documents to everybody and telling them what they would be saying that day and stuff. Notice how a bunch of the background characters never spoke. It was only the mayor, the people plotting the rebellion, and basically never did any of the background characters say anything.
The players went through a harrowing but touching story arc that showed both the beautiful and ugly sides of civilization. The villagers were led by a man who, after building so much and carving away at the island, let nature flourish at the last day. How is this so deep for me?
idk
This man truly made me almost cry over a mindless villager, rest in piece, Aki, you may be gone, but your memory will forever remain in the village.
Nah that's crazy
Villagers: create a functional and peaceful village. Players: creates a dictatorship.
It always ends that way

How do they do that
because theyer stupid@@minecraftboy2996
I think communism wins...
sentient villagers sounds like the best and worst thing to add to this game
Good thing: they build their own stuff. Bad thing: they can see what you are doing with the zombie villager farm...
Yeah them mining would be frustrating...all diamonds gone in the first ten seconds
MCA and tektopia
If they can't talk then best thing.
Reminds me of a TekTopia by tango
Not me crying at like 4am on my Nightshift job because of you saying "Look at what we've made Aki, look at what we've made"
I love the roleplay vibe of this video. It feels so real and immersive :) Not gonna lie, I actually even like the way the players' villsge looks more. It looks much more lively and natural
The players have no sync, the ai knows what to do. Never thought this would get emotional.
It truly was an amazing story.
not rlly ai
@OffBrandOgem ????? It is AI tho? It’s straight up a AI they made for the villagers.
@@oliveroverby2868 Ai is self learning. That is not ai. that is the youtuber making a village with a mod.. Learn what AI means
@@OffBrandOgemartificial intelligence??
R.I.P. Aki...he truly was the creeper grim reaper. He did things his own way. One might even say...the "Aki way." If only he could still be with us to witness the village in its full glory. Can't forget the bro. Nevah...nevah...nevah... 😔
It made me so sad
The Aki-rate way
my name is aki just like him R.I.P
mom made dinner the ocky way
“The Aki way” 😂LOL
Watching this felt like watching a movie, narrated in a 3rd person view. I loved the ending of it. This guy's storytelling abilities are very good
I know right
Well it definitely shows the benefits of being able to command the Villagers instead of relying on unpredictable players. Be great if they had more customization with the Villagers building civilizations
if you get the mod you can actually make your own stuff
I would like to see the players reaction to the villager’s village. I’m really hoping for them to decide that the villagers have the better village
I feel this way too. While giving us the voice to vote in the comments was a great idea, just as good of a one would have had been to show off both creations to each side and I highly anticipated that part to happen. This was a disappointment. Fun, but a disappointment nonetheless.
up
That would be cool, though I have a feeling they'd raid it. Which would be cool to see though
as one of the players, i think ours has more character
@@ElectronTCwas this scripted
Villagers won just because ray mlg'd.
0:41
LMAO
Ray has multiple sons and grandsons
😂😂
This video went really deep and emotional, what I think is that the Villagers win with harmony, partnership, synergy, unity, alliance, and assistance. And the Players win with a desirable town.
But zee is the only one controlling them
??????????????@@UsernotFound2018
Humans passing through all the historical steps of society while villagers just learning to do water clutch
The villagers built the best base its basic yes but it’s beautiful and it’s own way
I’d say the players because theirs has much more personality and creativity to it, expecaly with the use of bambo rather than oak wood.
@@falloutfart9917villagers win as they found a way to get oak wood on a jungle biome island and the inability to make boats to go explore the big world for resources
the base was amazing nice and clean but the players one was like that but constant fighting
@@darijussutkus837the players found oak wood too
@@darijussutkus837 oak trees spawn commonly in jungle biomes.
This is how the Minecraft lore should be
not that dumb dialogue after you beat the ender dragon lmao
@@NotJpTemwho reads that stuff anyways?
@@wholesandi actually changed it w my texture pack so it just says "balls" once then ends
@@mattwades2627 lmao. imagine being a popular yter with this pack and your fans watch u beat minecraft for the first time and the end credits says "balls".
The server was ran like a dictatorship. The staff member is basically got to choose everybody who got to be in charge and if you were not picked by the team or you were not a friend of staff you did not get any lines. You would just be used an extra like in a movie. Not to mention the repetitive having to read the script over and over through the Google Doc of what would be said on what day
Seeing both the villagers and player’s building is like watching two differing tv shows at the same time.
This was well written! "The players held the brush while the paint was in the hands of those with the strongest convictions"
LITTLE DID YOU KNOW! THE STORY WAS NOT SCRIPTED AT ALL! 😱
25:27 "You wanna know the best part about not having free will? Right? Best part about not having free will is you don't have a say." NGL, that was pretty cool.
Yea that was amazingg
Yeah I re-watched it a bunch of times because it was an awesome line and super dramatic
Zee is slowly going insane more and more when interacting with the villagers. Edit: got to the 25 mark, honestly the line "You know the best thing about not having free will? You don't have a say." goes hard, feels straight out of an animation like eddsworld or a batman villain.
forreal lol
Grox:
I think the only real main issue with how the villager village ended up is cause Zee himself didn't seem to care for keeping any trace of nature left, even calling the last untouched corner 'ugly' and just buried it in a box. It's too manicured, which even Zee realized at the end
Bro turned a simple fun game into a movie that changed my day how does he keep doing this
Smart... And terrifying 😁when I was seven and first started playing creative, I spawned a TON of villagers thinking they would build me a village. The result? A bunch of villagers running around opening doors in my base. I wish I had this mod-that would have changed tons of things in my childhood.
"I don't even care if we beat the villager team anymore. I just wanna have fun, and play minecraft." - me 2023. Okay but this was so fun to be apart of :D thx Zee for giving us the opportunity for this much fun!
I found this comment in exact same moment where it was played in the video
@@rewertot lol hey man it was me who said it so, just luck LOL
This part literally came up as i saw this comment too 😭
More accurately this video answers the question "Who would win, AI villagers controlled by a single person who's whole career is built around being good at minecraft, or a team of players who seemingly not know what challenge they are doing".
This video was so well made, very cinematic with great storytelling. The video was much deeper than i thought, and i love how you ended the video all ❤️
I had the best time playing with everyone, thank you for the event God Zee!
You are quite literally my Minecraft role model for the leadership you displayed (in the video)
ALL HAIL BERTHA, THE MAYOR/LEADER OF BAM, FOUNDED BY BOO
you made everyone not want to get work done and build a village. the reason you were there was to make a village yet you decided to kill the ende dragon? really stupid choice
ScarletFrost’s emotional speech for wanting you to stay as leader was truly heartfelt
Great Leader, we definitely won! (this is not me being biased at all mhm)
I cannot believe I clicked on this thinking it would just be a good little AI video- I came into a full beautifully crafted drama.
Same!
In my opinion, I like all of them. Even though they had different actions, plans and achievements, they all completed their one goal, making the best villages. Recipe of making the best Village: War, Friendship, Unification, Plans, and Fun.
I like the idea of turning minecraft into a village building Sim, those are one of my favorite types of games. I'd have a ton of fun doing that
Villagers doing sunshines and rainbows, while the actual players recreating the whole Star Wars lore says a lot about society
Not really. There is a hole complexity of lots and lots of different forms of human society across all history. This was just a glimpse of the particular society those people grew up and learned to be a part of.
You forget that these are just a bunch of mindless drones without free will, taking commands from a single person who lacks vision, creativity and the ability to go off the books of what is a traditional villager village. If it had no one to give them orders, nothing would have been done. That's why players had problems. Players already had their own vision and drive to pursue and had to find like minded people willing to head in the same direction- which is exactly why there was war. No 2 people are the same and there will always be opposites because they all have character and their own sets of uniqueness.
@@Thesupperalsit’s Minecraft calm down
It’s crazy that the mindless NPCs execute the commands given to them constantly, but the players act like humans with emotions 😱😱
They probably watched Star Wars before this
in terms of beauty, villagers win, but in terms of lore, game progression, and fun, players win
The lore, game progression, and fun is what gave the player village its beauty, honestly. (In my eyes Anyway)
I agree
@@keeganwright-jr7ds same :D
nah, Villagers won the fun and progression - why adding boring old rebellion storyline to a building competition
The players joined the game to build, I reckon they shoulda just stuck to that :/ And building is fun too
Lovely stuff!! I'd have loved to see even more of the different POVs, lets-play style!
This video is so well made and i loved the story going on. GREAT JOB SystemZee
Had a really fun time during all of these recording sessions, despite all the ups & downs that occurred. Thanks for yet another really great experience, zee ❤️
How did you get in?
E
Excellent pearl clutch in the deathtrap, by the way. Foresight itself.
😂
3:10 it is at this point that I foresaw the entire rest of the episode. While the intelligent and adaptive players were capable of much more, corruption and power wouldn't let them reach their full potential.
Damn that got deep at the end. Great job guys
"Alright! Here we go!" Got me so hyped!! ❤
The twist is, only half the players won while the other half lost. Those who worked together and had fun free from control got what they wanted, they won. While the controlling party failed to accomplish the very goal they set out to complete and fun was not included, only war.
Little did you know! None of it was scripted! And we all had fun 😱
We turned Minecraft Pillagers into ACTUAL TERRIFYING MONSTERS!! kzhead.info/sun/ZdlyZqd_npaKpZ8/bejne.htmlsi=lhFehBDvOK1AH4G8
Nice video Zee!
Hi
1 MINUTE AGO TRIPLE WOW
Thanks for the heart and i luv your vids and im a fan of you
Villagers have the Better village
this shows more than just a minecraft video , it shows us how much humanity could have progressed.
This was genuinely such an amazing video! You should do more videos will smart villagers
The humans started rivalries, couldn't work together and quickly became discriminatory to other groups, and the villagers were just content to live peaceful lives and build stuff. Huh.
So you agree with the no free will guy?
@@iroboskelly4421 If ridding ourselves of free will means making a really good village where everyone is content and has food and shelter, yes. You enjoy the idea of free will because it allows you to fulfill very temporary desires, but in the long-term, it does nothing for you really. Villagers sustain themselves for the long run and succeed as long as they aren't getting murdered by a horde of zombies. Free will is like a really sweet candy meanwhile the Villager Mindset is a full-course meal that satisfies hunger and nutrition, but might not taste that good overall compared to the candy.
İf they were 1 group instead of being mixed they wouldve won
@@Boomblox5896To be fair, the players ended up having fun and winning in their own way. That's the symbolism of free will. It was rough, but it was still a happy ending. In the end, your struggles only make your victories more satisfying. It's like saying AI art is better than human-made art because it's made quicker and more efficiently. Look at how nice their island looked, despite the war and strife. The most beautiful cities throughout history have had their own dark ages.
@@Sunnysideanyway Nah, I still think the player village has rough edges and not enough practical facilities like a big ol farming district. The village made by villagers had nice straight edges and walls around the whole place, so it was fairly easy to navigate and the space is used quite practically.
History has been made. The villagers did something for once.
Besides utterly rip you off, of course.
you are just happy both teams followed dictatorships
It's exactly what I never knew that I needed.
Very interesting to watch, thank you.
Very cool concept. I'd enjoy seeing more civilization Simulation videos from you. Maybe teaming up with some old Evo friends too? Get 100 people from your guy's communities and see what happens? That'd be cool.
I wanna see more grian and systemzee collabs 😢
@@chefgreasypaw7816 Idk Grian content for old and repetitive real fast for me. I get his appeal, I started watching Grian before Zee. It's how I found Zee. Through Evo. But I'd rather see Jimmy, Martin, Joey, & others over Grian in my opinion. But I wouldn't not watch something if Grian was in it. He's still okay.
Give 100 players their own villages to build and run. Maybe add village warrior mod to get a bannerlords minecraft experience.
This was really fun to be apart of! Thanks for having us players on to represent humanity. I just hope we made Boo proud.
Why didn’t you guys build a village. Your only goal, was to build a better village then SystemZee controlling the villagers. You guys were so weird you don’t need a mayor it’s just a week of everyone building.
@@Skizzorsshut up
@@Skizzors True enough. The video was fun but ultimately, it missed the point of the competition.
@@Skizzorsok Loser
@@Skizzors its almost like the entire point made at the end of the video was to show that the players wanted to just have fun with it, wow! also they did build a village, they built plenty on the island and even underground. i don't see why you're so choked up on this LMAO
"finally building and working together, not as one but as 3 different societies doomed to clash." the most shortest description of human history
This was so much more that I ever expected
Better storyline than the entirety of the Dream SMP Lol
Agree
I came into this expecting a match between villagers and people but came out of it learning everything I need to know about humanity This is really a deep study of humans
Then I take it you haven't seen the better MC civilization videos.
But this guy chosed some idiots so you cant say its a study of humans but of a small group of idiots.
It’s also clearly staged. And it’s a video game.
It probably wasn't legitimate, this isn't normal human behavior when faced with a common enemy and they all joined together to beat it.
it's literally minecraft bro, it's not that deep
I honestly thought this will be another review video but turns out be be something more great 👍
the amount of insane mood swings in this video is just incredible
That speech ScarletFrost gave was honestly beautiful. There was a rebellion changing everything they know and love, and they still wanted Bertha to be their leader, all because of free will.
i see you everywhere in msm videos
@@Thenoobyone2981You too
WE WANTED OUR FREEDOM BACK LOL
Speaches that happened before moments of disaster 😂
You should let the writers know that. Because everybody had their entire script written out on Google Docs. Everything you saw with the player base was scripted except for the buildings with look like. Every word that was said was scripted and every person's job with scripted and crap. It's actually rather annoying. he basically just wanted to make a mod review / showcase of what a person can do with Minecraft mods. Flexing if you will.
Minecraft is the most political game I've ever played
I think it would have been cool for the players to team up with the villagers and live in peace.
I feel like the villagers made the best town in the traditional sort of the way but the player captured the heart and soul of a community by breaking of the shackles of competition and going off to have fun with one another as equals
The villagers weren't as cursed as I thought they were going to be.
I want to like this comment but it has 69 likes so I can't
8:46 I like how he genuinely understood how it was their territory and that he needed to leave, no fuss, just straight to the point.
Better village, goes to the villagers, its bigger, more advanced, and more industrious, better community, also goes to the villagers, as they never had any internal disagreements, honestly the players completely failed the intended goal, but they get props for acomplishing way more, a seven day ender dragon kill with a slight distraction for the first six is more than most minecraft players have managed.
I could tell you this, they both look amazing in their own way.
I like both the villages, villagers got it neat and tight but players got something nice, organic, love repurposing the temple etc. I think both are just nice and btw cool video, I had so much fun watching it :)
Damn wasn't expecting a Minecraft video to have such an emotional touch to it
Rest in peace, Aki... If only you could see the Villager Nation now...
I like how this has a message, a story, a meaning. Its amazing. I feel everybody won in their own way.
And a lot of ideology
A story crafted from scratch none the less.. no scripting what so ever!
This was very fun!
bro ray was clean with that water bucket clutch
Grox needed to see this
humanity instantly separating and going at war with each other just describes us perfectly well
I am SHOCKED by how cinematic this video is
IKR??????? LIKE IT LOWKEY GIVES ME MOTIVATION TO PLAY MINECRAFT 😭😭
"best thing about freewill is you dont have a say" along with the music ITS JUST SO EPIC
SAD-ist should animate this, its truly a masterpiece
I would grab my popcorn and watch it!
The villagers built the best village. But the players showed us what’s more important, and that’s to be human
While I agree (about the part that being a human is important), you have to remember this was supposed to be a competition, and it didn't end up as one. This has been a great but fun disappointment.
5:50 YEE! That was my first time getting a sniffer! Glad it was in this event!
We're proud for your tribute 🫡🫡🫡🫡
That war was basically what helped extinct the ancient builders in the Minecraft lore. As Matpat said it; “History repeats itself.”
YO NEVER THOUGHT OF IT THIS WAY!
I was only going to watch a little bit of it, but then I got into it, and I loved every moment of this video.
This one single video single handedly proves that villagers are better than players. Note how the villagers stayed on track of the goal the entire game and didn't bother distracting themselves with other problems, whilst the players literally gave up halfway through and got jumbled all over the place with politics and fighting the ender dragon
Of course the villagers didn't get distracted, they're bots. Zee literally had full control over everything they did
While the central idea of the video is building the village, the main message behind it feels more like Humanities ability to have fun. Sure, the Villagers were AI, but they were commanded by a person, a guy who just wanted to build something nice looking, the Players also had that goal, but when it slowly grew unfun, the people found new ways to live, and to experience the world around them. The Villagers needed the player to build anything, but the Players inevitably made their own choices and their own course
Love the video, never fails to intrigue me.
I love how towards the end, the players decided that they should just come together to have fun and be free and do what they want. That to me is a win
Steve being the lone wolf of that world being his own god, own savior, and own soldier, having his alternate reality self where he enslaves villagers
The village building is so cool... just imagine an RTS one Like villager soldiers and iron golems Watchtowers, barracks and expansion
There's actually a mod that does that too
@@AidThe15but not in Minefortress
@@AidThe15 which mod i need it pls
@@AidThe15what mod
Wow! Amazing video, Zee! Thanks for letting me participate!
Gotta love how the side acting as the guys who are actually trying to win the competition they're in get dismissed in favour of 'having fun', lmao.
Tbh,this video is much more than an building competition
I want this as a book. I would read it over and over.
This is a very well crafted video! It made me realize that Minecraft wasn't as fun as it was before because as grown ups playing the game now, all we care about is efficiency and all. We forgot to have fun, we grew up and got boring. There is no proper way to Minecraft because in this game you decide how you want to have fun!
Why is this so much like a movie 😩
the villagers did a great job honestly
It would be amazing to see you start doing civilization events with the mods that you make! If they’re anything similar to this video, then I would literally pay to see that!
Personally, I think you can tell that AI built the Villagers' village and you can tell that a lot of people worked on and had discourse in the Players' village, I like the latter more because it's more personable. RIP Aki, you will be in our memories forever.
Imma go with the players since ther landscape looked very realistic and not robotic unlike the villagers landscape. But the builds both looks cool! Great video!
I would love to see a full episode of just you playing with the villagers like that or a series?
They both look good I can't say anything more....Great job
Uhhh no the players base look terrible
If only they could all build my houses 😔
this fr felt like watching a cinematic masterpiece and it was very immersive
Wow this video is perfectly edited. Y’all nailed this
I think this could bring up the importance of who you hang with, about what is to hangout with people that are in sync with your beliefs and ideals. We have the villagers with one leader pursuing one same goal and dream, and they achieve something big and complex where they all can thrive and be happy. The other group had people that wanted power and control, other that couldn't care less about set goals and just wanted to play the same way everyone has always played and will be playing or that they could have done any other time instead of trying to play on a different way or the challenging one, and inside these if there were people genuinely wanting to be creative and build something nice they got screwed as they weren't able to flourish and develope their ideas, they got dragged by the louder issues. That group eventually split and those smaller groups went into working on what they really wanted. So... It's about the pursuit of what you really want and finding those that are interested on achieving the same goals so you don't up being dragged around things you don't really want to do? But at the same. time ways consider what is that that you want and if you are not wasting the opportunity to do something different and build something new by doing the same thing you have always been doing.?
