Is Minecraft too easy, or is just faking a Hardcore Minecraft video too easy?
Unfortunately, it's really hard to tell when someone is faking their Hardcore playthroughs. I personally don't think very many of the BIG Hardcore KZheadrs (such as Sandiction, Sb737, aCookieGod, or Kolanii) are faking anything, when you spend pretty much every day playing Minecraft it does become pretty easy to stay alive in a Hardcore world.
But that isn't going to stop the lazy KZheadrs from taking advantage of methods to lie and make a quick buck.
Thanks for watching! Edit 2: Filming for episode 1 of my Sleepless Hardcore series has now wrapped! However, if you subscribe after today you're subscription will still count towards the 1 penny per death price of episode 2! Original comment: I'll be filming my next video all day today, tonight and tomorrow. I'll update this comment when I'm finished. And remember: DON'T Subscribe! Edit 1: I've extended filming on the first episode of my Sleepless Hardcore series for another day, so new subscribers still count towards the 1 penny/death deal!
Like ur vid hope u get a good vid.
Will you start a live stream or a pre recorded video? P.S. sorry for your bank account
haha i will subscribe
Good luck man
i will subscribe
Love hardcore content- don't love how rare regular survival has become. Worlds that last forever have their own appeal
I agree, that's actually one of the main reasons why I introduced my respawn rule. Except when the price per death gets too expensive, I'll probably lose the world like normal hardcore. 🙃 (P.S. You still owe me 50 dirt 🤣)
Nice
Nice
bro forgot about the shorts wars videos lmao
Glad to see you here. I love long term survival worlds. I've had mine for over 2 years now and it's only at 2,400 or 2,500 plus days, but it's my world and I know I'll never lose it because of some dumb death.
mom! i made the thumbnail :D
🤣
Yo lol
Wut
yo cookie
Yooo it’s cookie! Huge fan man love the one block
My guy Sandiction is THE hardcore guy. He even died off camera and showed us evidence. He was the original
And plus loads of youtubers nowadays copy sandiction. *Instead* of making useful builds, they do generic and unoriginal builds like "I REBUILT EVERY BIOME IN THE END IN HARDCORE MINECRAFT (E5)" before even making a good storage room.
But...Philza Sandiction definitely the first to blow up with highly edited hardcore stuff though
Nope. I think Ph1lzA and LukeTheNotable were *THE* hardcore guy.
Sandiction is also the guy who admitted to cheating in his hardcore world...
Also sb737

As an OG Hardcore Player of around 5 years, it's a shame good players like Philza and Loony are ignored in favour of obvious copycats. So please, go show them some love!
how about luke the notable? the first one to do 100 days hardcore
@@ecyororwell it’s not about 100 days in the end. Luke is a great player though, and he definitely deserves credit for being a huge part of bringing a bunch of attention to hardcore Minecraft.
Legundo and shadow mech are some of my favs. Love the little pig that follows shadow around and fights for him like a dog. So funny.
I like sandication or wunba
what about dan
Awesome video. As a hardcore creator myself I can confirm that there are a LOT of dishonest people in this space especially since it's so easy to set up. But! - that's like anything in life. There are always gonna be people who will do ANYTHING to make as much profit off of it as possible by cheating and getting away with it. However I think these guys are pretty easy to tell apart and aren't super mainstream which is a positive.

@@toastr2242wait really?
@@TheSilvaHeart yeah, my bud showed me a video of proof
@@toastr2242 naw that's crazy, and ironic
It'd be great to see some more hardcore content that didnt use totems. Once you can get them consistently its basically impossible to die as long as you have them with you.
I have a feeling you'll like my upcoming hardcore series...
Ph1lza doesn't use totems in his hardcore world! He has even blocked the word "totem" from his chat because of how often people tell him to use them lol
totems are a legitimate ingame item, though.
@@matthewbarabas3052 yeah, but they take all the risk out of hardcore because if you have like 10 totems in your inventory at a time then you are basically immortal unless you suck at the game or fall into the void without an elytra
@@matthewbarabas3052removes the spirit of a hardcore world. Once someone has a totem there are no stakes.
Great video! This is why I feel like hardcore content should be live streamed for the most part then cut down into YT videos, creates excitement for viewers watching live to be there for a potential death and being apart of the process and also creates integrity along the way
this is why i love watching philzas hardcore streams, especially because hes coming up on the 5 year anniversary for his most recent world. hes so funny and his fandom is so kind and its so chill and chaotic, he just builds and has fun
Good luck! It sounds like you're really pushing yourself. Even if it is for a good cause, remember... If you can't help yourself, you don't have the resources to help others. And it's never too late to back out. I guarantee most people would understand you backing out if it takes a toll on your health. Be it physical or mental.
Don't worry, I'll be OK 😉 Thanks for the concern, though! (If I can't afford the full donation by the end of tomorrow, I'll just save up and donate it later.)

He has 8 videos over an 9 month period
When I enter the internet, I always assume "everything is made up for entertainment".
ACookieGod DID fake it, in one part of a video, he was killing wither skeletons, but when he looked in his inventory, you can see 61 wither, skeleton spawn eggs and he killed 3: 64 - 3 = 61. Note: you CANT get wither eggs in survival.
for me this comment is right above aCookieGod's comment...

@@randomtexanguy9563 I wonder what the odds are that we read this comment, saw Cookies comment. all within an hour of eachother
can u name the video?
Yep - in another video he's zombifying villagers, and one of them dies to the zombie, indicating he's not on hard difficulty
I just love HC YTers who show their stats. It’s so easy to tell if anything was cheated. You can track blocks placed, and time played and number of deaths and mob kills. And also be able to tell if they used any illegal blocks or if they gave them self any items. You can just factor in the farms that they have, and you’d be able to tell which items they got legit or from commands.
I agree, stats are king 🤴
Another way to check if someone is cheating is achievements. You do'nt get achievements on worlds with cheats
@@potat2846 you do… even in creative mode, also you can use commands to give yourself any advancement
@@barunjackson9013 He's thinking of bedrock. As a bedrock player as well as a java player, I can confirm that you get no achievements when using cheats in bedrock.

If you lay in a bed, not sleep in it, it stops phantoms from spawning, so you can still prevent them.

Just wanted to say I love how tightly edited and well presented this video is!
some say he is still filming to this day
He finished editing!
I feel like the only youtubers not faking hardcore Minecraft vids are the big ones KNOWN for their hardcore mc content, like sb737, cookie, and luke
Completely agree! I know for a fact that SB has no problem showing his stats and has several times! And I’m sure Luke and Cookie have done the same.
If a lot’s of viewers comment to SB to see his stats he show them no problem
@@Parabola462Luke shows enough content in his vids that you can tell he doesn’t cheat. The YTers we need to worry about are the ones that go from day 1 to day 10 to day 50 to day 100 and it’s only like a 5 minute video and they pump out videos like every day. Luke takes a few months in between his stuff and even livestreams a lot of his days.
Another hardcore youtuber I don't see many people talk about who does some good videoes is TheCaptainsTV. His hardcore vids, while they're in modpacks, are multiple hours long and don't skip days, there's always a bit of recap for each days. His vids are quite fun to watch as well, I'll often put them in the background when I'm doing something, and I doubt you can fake a 3 hour video
Exactly
You can even reset your death counter in statistics by copying the "time played" and pasting it in "the time since last death", which is doable by finding some specific file called stats in the %appdata% folders
holy crap your production and video editing is astonishing. earned a sub
Look mum, I made it 1:43! Jokes aside, I hope the Open to LAN thing is removed from hardcore in a future patch. I'm sure people would find other ways to cheat, but the fact that creative mode is a couple clicks and a command away in what is supposed to be the hardest difficulty in the game just doesn't make any sense. I first discovered hardcore through Philza's famous death, and was hooked by that feeling of risk. Knowing that you're always a single mistake away from losing everything, which makes every small feat feel like an accomplishment. Good luck with your series! I regret to inform you that I've subscribed.
hello verified person
100% agreed 👍
W IN THE CHAT YOU MY FAVIROTE AUST
i think its better to remove the gamemode switching in hardcore instead of removing the whole open to lan thing
This is why i love creators who stream their hardcore worlds. Philza's hardcore streams are very comforting to me, but also impressive as they show how much actual work goes into a big and developed hardcore world. I can see the hours he pours in while gathering reasources for builds and farms and even with top of the tops best enchanted gear and strategy, it still takes him hours. Not to mention the fact that if he makes one even small mistake, he might lose it all (again lmao). Honeslty, hardcore creators can easily beat any cheating suspicions by simply streaming the world from time to time, but i guess its not as clickbaity as "IVE SPEND 100 DAYS IN MINECRAFT HARDCORE" videos.
Underrated skill! really I love the way your text video style !! Really cool, and yeah I'll see you in the series :)
I feel personally attacked by the "recreating something in hardcore" bit 👀 but this was a great video, definitely something to keep in mind!
You sound like the nicest and most honest person i’ve seen on this platform in a while. I hope a of these plans work out well. Your commets are so positive to

Loved how your style of editing is very unique and your own, awesome video!
Thank you!
I always assumed that when you open to LAN in hardcore that cheats would be greyed out like it is when you create a new world.
i feel like this video has cleared up alot of my questions abt hardcore and i really like it. im honestly really excited for the series and wish you the best of luck. but seriously if the deaths add up dont be afraid to lower down the price of death, cuz we dont want you to go broke lol.
The production values and writing in this video are excellent and if you keep up the interesting topics like this you'll go really far
Absolutely amazing videos and editing skills! I hope you succeed in all you wish to accomplish my dude
Seeing this video, i figured it would be an uncovering some creators and proof of them cheating, but seeing that you point it out for those who dont realize it was a good turn around. And then pointing out what you are going to do, and your cause of the world, I fell in love with the idea, and im excited for your adventure!
This is SUCH a brilliant idea! Can't wait to see this thing blow up dude :D
Thank you for doing the work you do! I've found a new favourite minecraft youtuber in you haha, well done and good luck on your hardcore series, don't push yourself to stay awake or donate, even just a little of what you're doing is enough already (and more than most people do) Will be looking forward to the stream. :)
Damn bro.. I remember watching this video on release and you only had around 2-3K subs. I come back 2 days later and you have 20K!?? Keep up the quality uploads and you’ll blow up man :)
You know what's the funniest thing (which you actually briefly mentioned) about the scripted/fake stuff? That pretty much noone would have an issue if you cheated for entertainment sake and just were open about it. Scripted stuff isn't bad if you don't pretend it's not
Nobody would watch hardcore content if they know it’s fake, the only youtubers I belive are the ones that livestream everytime they play showing the daycount every stream

It's really not dangerous, if it's only 30-some hours. Unhealthy, yes. And if you were doing it on a regular basis it would be very much so, and could potentially get into somewhat dangerous territory. But as a one-time event, there's really nothing wrong with it.
It's pretty easy to survive 100 days with no skill if you are careful and methodical about it. Basic rules: 1. Keep danger away with walls, light, and sleep, from the first day onward. Internalize your farms into your base. Secure your Nether Portal, etc. 2. No tempting fate. Don't do anything you can't afford to screw up once you're far enough not to scrap the run. Levitation from shulkers? Make sure you have a safe landing zone. Don't go out with tools in red durability. Don't jump crit the dragon. 3. Keep your base and inventory idiot proof. No lava or open pits to fall into. Don't have lava on your hotbar without water. Keep an extra shield. 4. No relying on luck. Assume there is a ghast that will shoot at you on your bridge, a magma cube that will fall on your head, your basement is in a slime chunk, there's a dripstone biome below you, gravel under lava above you, and you're about to mine into a lava pocket. 5. Hedge your bets if disaster strikes. Pearls, Elytra, full diamond/netherite armor with Prot IV, Feather Falling, and mending, fire resistance, multiple totems and golden apples, a large supply of cooked meat or golden carrots, multiple different situationally appropriate ways to MLG or mitigate fall damage, etc. Always keep blocks and a full set of well-maintained tools, including shovel and hoe. It wouldn't hurt to keep a bucket of milk on you either, as well as something to prevent drowning. 6. Trade skill and speed for security. Cheese every encounter. With some very basic game knowledge I think just about anyone should be able to survive 100 days hardcore mode. Now, these probably aren't all strictly necessary. You could always get the Elytra within 30 minutes and then fly around giant caves critting out mobs and gathering ores under pressure for 30 hours without ever making armor or a shield, but I'm saying if you want to do hardcore easily and safely, maybe don't do it that way.
The LTN way: lots and lots of walls
I resonate with rule 4. I assume luck is consistently against me even in NORMAL mode
There's an even easier way: dirt hole with a bed.
@@thepandrbr rules 1-6 are just build walls
2:35 Dream was pretty open about using a plugin to increase pearl drops in manhunts. In fact, when it came out that he cheated one of his excuses when he finally "admitted" it was that he accidentally left the manhunt plugin on.
why would he be using a multiplayer plugin in a singleplayer speedrun, that's not just something you can do on accident
@@mothgang7603 I mean, I agree. It's a pretty lame excuse. My point was that Dream was pretty transparent about improving drop rates in his manhunts.
I think the Manhunt series are scripted too. There is too much action and too many close shaves without death per episode. Dream cheating in speedruns also damages his credibility.
I cant wait for the 100 days! You seem like such a genuine guy and it’s awesome you’re trying to better the world by sleep depriving yourself hahah, good luck and wish you the best :)
Thanks! I appreciate the appreciation!
Congrats on being blessed by the algorithm, I’m glad you were in my homepage reccomendations
I think the "No Amount of Rest Can Pass This Night" message at 6:13 would work really well as a sort of "Blood Moon" Style event
This is so well edited i'm actually surprised you only have 2k, you deserve more dude
I liked this video and it's nice you brought some awareness to this. By the way, I don't think beds make the game too easy, it has the same effect as staying inside your house all night, but it's faster, if anything it's just a quality of life change, and it's other feature of setting a respawn point would be impossible to live without.
In the context of this video, the respawn location mechanic is completely meaningless in Hardcore challenges, but yes. Every player being able to have their own custom spawn is just great, especially after dumping End city loot into an ender chest and taking a void bath. You just pop up right at home and head into your storage room to sort all the plunder :)
I admit that I follow these people because I am fascinated by what they can do. I watched Cookie most often. And I know he once showed a texture pack with hardcore hearts. Of course he somehow explained why this is so, but it took me by surprise. There is also a video showing that he gave himself spawner eggs.
"I survived 10,000 real world days in _Minecraft_ Hardcore Survival PvP Multiplayer and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."

Kinda late, but I want to point out that it is possible to see how many times a player has died in the world. This is an easy method to find out if Hardcore worlds are fake or not. Do this by simply pressing "esc" on your keyboard whilst in game and then press "statistics", scroll to the bottom and find a grey text that says "Number of Deaths" followed by a number of, you guessed it - deaths. Please like and pin so that more people learn about it!

I looked at your subscriber count and thought it was 227k. then i saw the dot. With this type of content youll reach 227k in no time!
i thought everyone knew how increadibly easy it was to turn on cheats. i just always assumed that if a hardcore youtuber dosent show the bulk of the grindy work, then there is a good chance that they are cheating
i just always assume that if they cut out the grindy aspects, they didnt want to make the viewer watch hours of grinding.
This is a major issue that I sadly come across more often than not. It's becoming more difficult to find a Minecraft hardcore series on KZhead that isn't faked. But luckily I have found a few that I feel I can rely on. Thank you for making this video and exposing the clout chasers in the Minecraft hardcore community.
you are so underrated its crazy your animation is so cool

8:57 bro thats the best timing ever i got a notification when you pointed up
People focus way too much on "is the content real or fake" and let me tell you something: fake content can STILL be entertaining. The video can be fake but the creator will be energetic/full of charisma/doing something crazy in his world. So idc if the video im watching is real or fake, i care about is it entertaining me or not and everyone have their own taste in content. Thanks for reading this and have a great weekend yall!
Agreed. The only exception for me is stuff like speedruns, since that is a genuine competition against others and therefore affects more than just content.
I disagree with this view, people need to stop letting people to get away with faking videos, remember no matter how entertaining it is, part of the entertainment is that you believe all the things done in the video are legit, by faking things and hiding it those creators lie to your face. If you are the type of person to say "i DoNT CAre IF itS FakE its EnTErtaINg" you are in denial and need to face facts.
@@outsideconfidence12 Deadass, when I see some monumental build made in legit survival I really do be like "damn”.
As long as you don’t expect others to not care, you do you
But if the youtuber doesn’t care enough to make an authentic video, what makes you think they care enough to not pretend to be entertaining?

I really like the editing in this video you inspired a lot of the editing i'm going to do for my upcoming hardcore series
as someone who has been playing minecraft for like 9 years........i have yet to beat the dragon legit on hardcore lmao
I THOUGHT THIS GUY WOULD BE LIKE FAMOUS!? Why does he only have 8k?? You are about to blow up. Your editing is crazy good
fr though, almost all the hardcore series i can find are all just "the perfect start in minecraft hardcore" "i built every biome" "i built a nether base" ect.
The thing that bothers me about modern hardcore minecraft content is that by episode 2 or 3 its just a creative world but they have to collect resources and can't fly. Theres no real feeling of danger when its just some dude spending a thousand hours to make a gigantic mega base with a massive storage system with a ton of items theyll never use. The more megaprojects these youtubers do the less impressive it gets and it feels more like busywork to keep a series going for no reason other than content. Thats why i gravitate to modded series these days, because theres always something to progress towards
Arguably, they can fly with the elytra, so it's exactly like creative, but with resource gathering.
