1000 Players Build MASSIVE Civilization in Minecraft

In this video, I put 1000 Minecraft players onto 4 islands, each its own civilization. Each player had the freedom to do whatever they want, but they only had one life. Will there be democracy? Will there be war? Which nations will be triumphant? Find out now!

More info:
Out of 8000+ applicants, 1200 players were accepted to play in my 1000 Player Civilization Experiment (also known as "Season 2"). Before the event began, players selected which island they wanted to join—plains, desert, snow, or jungle. Each day, all players logged on at the same time, and session lasted around 1-2 hours. For the most part, players could do whatever they want, including mining for resources, running a business, becoming a leader, or fighting in war. We did set a few limitations on the players to promote a better experience, like banning random killing (RDM) as well as disabling most Minecraft enchantments.
DISCLAIMER: While most of the footage and plot information in this video accurately represents what actually happened in this event/experiment, some moments have been modified, reshot, or entirely fabricated for purposes of simplification or storytelling. If you want to know EXACTLY what was real/scripted, or if you just want to learn more about how I made the video, I posted a 3-hour live stream on my "ish 2" YouTube channel explaining the specifics.

nobody noticed how Presidentsteve and iPixel got married, lived, and then at the end iPixel was putting a rose at the grave of Presidentsteve. This story is better written than Boruto 💀💀💀

[marios]

The fact that freakingturkey was so liked among the server that they started a war to avenge his death was truly incredible

[drex]

moments in this video that altered my brain chemistry:

- Wazzock's Sacrifice
- Zombta and Davarit's Brotherhood
- Elanulo's Paranoia
- Storminghell's False Prophethood
- AFreakingTurkey's change from a Tyrant into a Messiah
- DripChicken

[Sxzod]

As hated as he was, Elanuelo was an actual genius. He ruled an empire from the shadows. And when he realized he was gonna execute Turkey he also predicted that a war would break so he built strong and elaborate defense system. Now that's a respectable villain.

[os-does]

Zombta avenging his twin brother is a true act of respect.

[enlightenedlightning]

Wazz0ck honestly had the best character arc out of anyone in this event. On Day 1, he claimed that he was able to rule the world perfectly under an iron fist, conquering the lands. But as time went on, and he truly saw the destruction in the chaos of the jungle, what bloodshed was really like, he had a change of heart.

He knew exactly that in comparison to the hundreds and hundreds of lives that would be robbed of existence in such a large global conflict, his own life is extremely disposable. And so he took the blame, making himself a scapegoat to ensure peace would last just a little bit longer.

And when he finally felt guilty of his actions, he turned himself in on his own terms, killing himself and allow the jungle to have another true moment of unity. Truly poetic.

[LMatRC]

This is just perfect
No gimmicks/mods
No forced wars
Just *commentery*

[lufthansaA]

the fact that they actually made a graveyard/memorial for everyone who died just gives me vibes from so many tragedys alike this one. major respect to the ones who made that

[sedail.is.among_us]

So you're telling me that for absolutely free, I get to watch a video about made-up civilizations in a cool block game with cinematographic prowess comparable to actual professionally done movies? an absolute masterpiece that deserves more

[fayetopias]

Wazzock is legend. Him deciding to become the villain so his island would stop fighting and unite against a common enemy is genius.

[hytranslate]

how Turkey's death and Elanuelo's death paralels, Zombta's revenge and Wazz0k's sacrifice... truly a masterpiece

[weeblyweeb]

Even to this day, this remains a master class in story telling. I honestly wish more civilization videos were like this. No gimmicks, minor interference, just people living their own stories.

[riancrowford]

Can we all just agree that this was the most beautiful Minecraft civilization simulation ever created?

[pin]

A whole year later and this is still the most cinematic minecraft video i have every watched.

[chydra]

NGL, I think this would be a good plot for a movie. Random people all over the world, just spawned at different neighboring islands, and trying to build a civilization and not die.

[KissOfEmoGirl]

Wazzock and turkey died because they want peace.

one of the most beautiful film i ever seen

[zayabattles]

imagine being an actual historic figure in your minecraft world… bros a legend

[saadathullah]

A minute of silence for Wazzock, the hero who sacrificed 7 people and himself becoming a criminal to make a long peace time

[Keith-qegu]

The way turkey united all of these nations together, that was incredible, this was truly and incredibly story
