100 Players Simulate Civilization in Minecraft

What if civilizations formed in Minecraft? In this video, we investigate this question by simulating human civilization in Minecraft with REAL players!

#Civilization #Minecraft #Simulation #History #Anthropology #Sociology

To figure out which biome is the most advanced civilization, we put 100 players into different 100 by 100 chunks with limited resources. Each chunk features a different biome to test how a society would develop using a variety of resources. Will their people cooperate or will the region plunge into anarchy? If they survive stage 1, trade routes will open up and we will get to see unique interactions between each country!

This is Recreating Civilization in Minecraft, not the History of Humans! Everything from the primitive beginnings of society is rebuilt to established nations fighting to the death will be covered. This will truly test the theories of what if everyone was trapped in minecraft by rebuilding all of civilization.

A lot of planning went into this video! Shoutout to my admin Flare for helping a TON with the planning. The style of this video is similar to Primer, Wilbur Soot in parts. A large influence on this series has come from content creators like @PrimerBlobs and @WilburPlays.

Jungle, the most advanced civilization at the time, ended up being the first to fall.
Island civilization reenacted Lord of the Flies and fell from constant treachery.
Plains, which had the greatest advantage in terms of resources, fell to their hubris and pride.
Mesa, in a very American way, tried to Manifest Destiny as fast as possible and stretched themselves thin.
Siberia, the underdog of the nations, became the strongest through the power of pure nationalism.

Amazing.

“Welcome to Siberia, I don’t care what you name it, you’re all going to die here” - The realest Siberian ever

[juliuscaesar]

“Welcome to Siberia, I don’t care what you call it, you’re gonna die here.”
Little did he know, the Siberians had a trick of their sleeves

if you do an other run of this, an idea:
each nation has a separate chest where they can put food in but cannot take out (or shouldn't at least), and once a certain number of food is in that chest, an admin takes it away and allows a new person to join the nation
it would be a sort of reproduction system so colonies don't die out that easily.
The price could increase depending on how well of a nation is

I love the “one guy was being mauled by a polar bear, the others watched and cheered it on” 😂

And a lot of amazing willpower that brings you the ultimate win.

"With all the criminals in fear of Australia, society advanced, " is my new favorite quote.

[BarbellThor]

"This is Siberia. Call it what you will. You will die here."
Very real.

[onesmack]

I love how this has lore, tension, war, betrayal, sacrifice, and a bunch of other stuff that makes civilizations interesting.

Siberia was just the best overall. The sense of community, unwavering dedication to -Kiwi- Maye, and ability to overcome the limitations of their biome while making light of the less the ideal conditions, i.e. “bed.”

MagicGum: Hit them with winter!
4 civilizations: Oh no!
Siberia: You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it.

the oceans one really caught my attention. It's a perfect story of a peaceful land that was destroyed by a civil war after a power vacuum, weakening them so much that a person from a foreign land swept in and took over. It's the cycle of life

[abbx]

Mesa, Ice, Island, Jungle, Plains, Long ago the 5 nations lived in harmony, until the plains nation decided to attack.

I would've liked to see an added mechanic where a new player spawns every so often in each place to simulate population growth

[arandombeanboyo]

This, this is where it started. Fewer and fewer recognize this masterpiece as the spark of the civilization GENRE of Minecraft. Every civilization vid stems from this, all of them (at least in this format, there are others too that differ a lot) but this is one of my fave vids and I always come back to it.

When you accidentally post a super interesting sociological experiment that gets sent to my professor. Her response: “this eerily reflects humanity under duress… it’s interesting to note how quickly they kill the authoritarian candidates, yet elect those is who reflect authoritarian ideals.”

Not even a minute in and we already have some great content

Siberia developed their community over shared hardship and fish buffets, hats off to the siberians
