This video attracted the attention of many Minecraft players. Through the collected reposts, many players who didnât play Minecraft were also discussing about the video.
âMy goodness is this data official? Those guys are insane diggers!â
âThe guys on server one dug out an area equivalent to the entire Magic City?â
âThe other servers are in a similar place too. Minecraft players are crazy!â
âThat guy from server one dug out one hundred and forty football fields? Thatâs crazy! Youâd only be able to play a few hours in VR, heâs way too efficient!â
âThe later statistics are quite interesting too. Iâm on server seven and I thought other servers are constantly fighting just like we are... turns out we are the exception!â
âLast poster, you guys are living in terrible states, come join us in server eight! We are all working together and are pretty close to building a rocket! Haha!â
âHuaxia Geographical Society sure are a weird bunch. Do they really plan on recreating Huaxia in its entirety? Theyâre playing a different game than we are!â
âIâm from server fourteen and I watch the two whales outcompete one another in spending. I think if Chen Mo does a custom build thing, theyâd buy them with no hesitation.â

There was also plenty of discussion of this video on the forums, and the different playstyles of different servers gained the attention of many players.
The way the servers were set up was in hopes of players would modify the world according to their playstyle anyways.
After hearing about the status of various servers, many noticed they had been playing the game wrong and changed how they played the game while others continued their playstyle and played as they wished.
Some players with the same idea in mind planned to go to a new server to create a world that was even more perfect.
At the same time, more and more different playstyles appeared.
Chen Moâs Minecraft hinted at Redstone related tech. With just a little effort, the players could easily understand the theory behind redstone.
Moreover, many buildings in Chem Moâs World had redstone circuits in them for things like automatic doors. The players could learn more about the upper limits of redstone if they spend some time looking into them after buying the blueprints.
The players then started putting more emphasis on the magical redstone and started using them more and more in building their worlds.
The theory behind redstone was quite simple, building a complete redstone circuit using redstone related items such as redstone torches, levels, pressure plates, redstone dust, repeaters, pistons and rails in order to create interactive elements.
It was now the programmers and musicians time to shine.
Some made smart homes with automatic doors and lights.
Some used redstone to recreate music like Gokuraku Jodo or Croatian Rhapsody.
Some were trying to make machines that moved in Minecraft, and even TNT launchers.
Some used redstone to create a huge maze that would change itself every minute.
Some made 3D printers that would recreate anything below them, above them, known as a âCreator Systemâ.
Some players even made a computer in Minecraft, and implemented apps like calculators and snake on them. Some of them could even change weather and environment in single player using the keyboard of the computers in the game.
Some even made phones that can turn on, slide unlock, and click on icons. Some of them even had working versions of Flappybird.
Of course because of the limits in the speed of redstone, these phones and computers were really slow and quite laggy, but it was an incredibly interesting concept in a game.
With these various professionals in Minecraft, the potential of Minecraft was finally realised.
Minecraft players often made fun that the game wasnât called âMy worldâ, but âSomebody Elseâs Worldâ.
Of course, many started working harder to learn the game after getting inspiration from others.
There were also more and more Minecraft videos that increased its popularity even more. âA cheap building game where everything is possibleâ became what Minecraft nickname and was known among most VR players.
Chen Moâs strategy of pricing it cheap to sell more copies was finally paying dividends. Although there werenât many VR players, after Minecraft gained a lot of popularity, almost all VR players had the game. Even if they werenât immediately interested in playing, theyâd choose to buy the game and play it when they were finally interested in playing it.
Moreover, different players could gain something different from Minecraft.
Some liked to build houses in singleplayer or explore the tech tree with a few other friends in survival mode.
Some liked playing with redstone, making various redstone related videos.
Some liked to lead others in multiplayer worlds to terraform the world.
It was just like a shrunk down society in online mode. Everyone had their place and could gain recognition and respect through their hard work.
Some treated the game as a travelling game and would spend time in Chen Moâs world if they had nothing to do, checking for any new builds and if they should buy them.
Some became reporters, exploring the various servers, gathering their status and reporting back to the players on the forums.
Although it was just a building game, it had unexpectedly allowed many to realise the child inside them, allowing them to rediscover the fun of creating,
Moreover, Minecraft became one of the least hostile online games. As there were a lot of resources, there didnât need to be any competition between players, allowing them to work together.
Only with cooperation and exploration of the techtree will the players be able to enter space to gather even more rare resources to explore the tech tree. Therefore every new player had their value, allowing a healthy relationship between veterans and newbies.
The newbies are eager to learn and the veterans are eager to teach, creating a healthy positive environment.
The rich content made Minecraftâs one hundred and twenty eight RMB price tag seem extremely great value. Combined with the liking the Game Committee took to the game and the continuous promotion on the official app store, Minecraft gained more and more sales and more and more popularity!
