On a scale of 1 to PAIN, how painful was this video for you? 😅

[hel]

10:47 I love how even new players just innately know that the furnace and crafting table are meant to be together

[CrayRT]

This is so wholesome. Watching a person play Minecraft for the first time is just so pure.

[richey]

It’s been years since I’ve watched someone play Minecraft for the first time

[thefilthiestofcasuals]

There are few things as wholesome as someone's first game of Minecraft

[meltedcalippo]

RCE looking at a tree: Do I just punch it?
IT BEGINS.

[walt]

'Do I just... punch a tree?'
'This game is confusing'
'Oh, I can make new blocks!'
'Can I build a house'
And then, finally, the
"I cannot wait to build a bridge or something."

Congrats, the game has sucked you in. Cant wait to see what you build man.

as someone who's been playing minecraft for a decade i dont find this painful at all, i wish i could experience this game for the first time again and this is close enough. I love watching people learn and experience this game from scratch, its almost nostalgic

Loved every second of this, here's a few tips to help you out:

- You can't fall off edges when holding the crouch key, handy for building on a ledge
- Make yourself a bed to skip the night, it uses 3 wooden planks and 3 wool blocks of the same colour
- When in combat, watch the little sword icon underneath the crosshair, wait for it to charge to deal more damage in a swing
- Holding shift while clicking on items in the inventory will instantly move them into a chest, furnace, crafting table etc.
- Lighting up areas will make it so monsters can't spawn, you might want to light up your house and surroundings

Good luck!

I love how he's telling us what we already know. Golden.

RCE: *doesn't sleep for the first two nights*
Phantoms: "I'm about to ruin this man's whole career."

[augustolobo]

Interesting to see how the recipe book was actually a really good addition to the game, look how useful it is for new players

[jeffcarpenter]

Guy literally just summed up the entirety of Minecraft with this simple phrase.

“Wow, it’s a load of squares!”

Watching beginners play minecraft is one of the most enjoyable things to do.

[DangrMouSe]

Wait till he finds out about Redstone. His engineering mind will take over, everything will change & he'll become a Minecraft channel🤣

[Omlet]

The hardests parts to watch are the parts where he is really close to figuring out how to do something but just doesn't. Like he builds on the edge of a block but doesn't know to use shift. He almost tames a horse but doesn't ride it enough times. Or like 15:00 where he almost figures out how to extend how far the water goes but doesnt break the right block.

My son had this game for years before I tried it. Watching him play I always thought “this is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.”
But to actually play it myself it’s really great. The discoveries. Ooo, what’s that block? How can I use it?
What is that thing?
It’s good to see RCE having those same reactions.

[Hemnin]

I’m going to be honest, this is one of my favourite minecraft videos. It’s because it’s his first time playing. I just love it where he has no idea how to play, finding out how to play. I just love this. It’s not a minecraft speedrun, this is not a guy that knows what to do, this is a guy just trying to have fun and play a game. Not following any rules, like instantly punching a tree as soon as you spawn, he just looks at stuff and then does that. And the fact he built a boat before anything else, it’s just nice to see something so fresh and enjoyable. He doesn’t build a house at night, has fun with the mobs. This is not scary, it’s just him having fun. Enjoy himself. This is what I wish loads of minecraft videos are. I wish there where more videos like this. Sadly since there are millions of people that know about minecraft, there aren’t many videos like this. It’s just so refreshing seeing stuff like. Like for example, more than halfway in, 10 minutes, he hasn’t done anything amazing. But I’ve enjoyed this video every second! I’m more excited for the second half. Which makes me MORE excited for the NEXT VIDEO. This is what videos are MEANT to do. Intrigue me into wanting more, which gives you a subscription.
