The Minecraft Legend That Disappeared

On May 8, 2011, ExplodingTNT created his YouTube channel. ExplodingTNT was bored and had nothing to do, so he made this choice to keep himself occupied. Little did ExplodingTNT know, he would become one of Minecraft's greatest legends in only a few short years.

He died a hero and didnt live long enough to see himself become a villain

Man.. I remember that one time I made a small drawing for pink sheep on Instagram. I was so excited to post it, so tagged his official Instagram account on my post to see his reaction. I didn't really expect him to reply, but the surprise that still confuses me even til this day is the fact that he actually did reply.. he thanked me for the drawing and even called me a prankster gangster... Best day of my whole life.. I miss pink sheep tho, he was the best :((.

I'm so glad he didn't turn into a content farm creator.

“Prankster Gangster” was such an underrated line, brings back memories

[Godleey]

The "I Give Up" Hole is one of my favourite recurring jokes of his vids, It used to always get a laugh out of me back then

growing up I never knew pink sheep and tnt were channels ran by the same guy and I thought it was so cool that the pink sheep was in so many tnt videos, I was today years old when I found out tnt and pink sheep were the same guy

Just in case you don't know, TNT himself shouted out your video on Twitter, so, be proud that you got his attention. I'm glad he's doing ok

Life probably hit him more then he could ever expect. I think that he moved on with his life. It won’t be long before he announces that he will quit youtube because he hasn’t uploaded over a year. He had a good run, but he has better things on his mind. Glad that he was a part of my childhood on youtube and the impact he had on the Minecraft community. Definitely a Youtube Legend that won’t be forgotten that quickly.

Explodingtnt was extremely creative, can clearly see difference in the content directed at kids in only about a decade. I'm happy he didn't change, didn't have a fall from grace.
Prankster gangsters for life

I was an ExplodingTNT "actor" several years ago. It was a private server you needed to buy access to for like $80. My older sister bought it for me as a birthday present one time I think. Because I was so young, I don't remember much aside from meeting cool people I haven't spoken to in ages and being in one video where he forgot to credit me (I believe he apologized in the credits of said video for forgetting my name, that was pretty funny lol). I'm almost 19 and the memories come back to me occasionally, I'm super glad I spent time in that community when I did. Hope Sam and everyone who took part in his videos are well. <3

“Humans can’t agree on one thing”
We all wanted to be in one of ExplodingTNT’s videos

pink sheep with a moustache: the distinguished gentleman 😢

I used to watch his videos in 2014- 2015, back then I couldn't speak english that well so I had to watch his videos with spanish subtitles on, but I still tried to read the texts in english and sometimes translationg words from english to spanish. thanks to ExplodingTNT I was able to improve my english to like a A2 level or so (I didn't had english class in my school back then) I will forever be grateful for Exploding TNT, because he taught me some english and kept me entertained in the afternoons of the good old 2014-2015 :)

"Lost island followed the tale of Tnt, Notch, Herobrine, Tnt's friend; Failboat, and Pink Sheep" Gave me severe emotional whiplash

[SemKokkelkorn]

Butterfly effect..
ExplodingTNT making a server, Simon being a fan and making hypixel, to great youtubers like Technoblade and even a whole unique gamestudio (Hytale)

[goldenmeerkat]

Anyone else click on this cuz ExplodingTNT's skin in the thumbnail unlocked a childhood memory and you couldn't remember the channel name?

[Milesprowerboy]

The dude is one of the reasons I play Minecraft.

[lain]

I remember in 4th grade, a kid in my class convinced me he was explodingTNT and would like tell everyone he was him. I believed him for like 3 years lol

[artsyscrub]

I forgot about Explodingtnt! Man i used to love watching Machinimas its actually how i got into the animation community and animation and eventually other fandoms, i found him through unfortunately skydoesminecraft (saying his name still hurts...) But itsy one of the few Minecraft youtube memories that is untained with the actions of Tnt becuase he was a good dude, i hope he comes back and i hope it's with something he can enjoy

[SeanikaShiz]

I totally forgot about him, he was a huge part of the minecraft category in my childhood.
