Top 5 Most-Watched Minecraft Videos on YouTube

Minecraft recently passed a trillion combined views on YouTube. That number alone is hard to wrap your head around, but a handful of videos carry an outsized share of it. Here are the five Minecraft uploads that have been watched more than any others, ranked from fifth place to the top of the pile.

5. Realistic Minecraft Life: Creeper Kid

Dinamitic's animation sits at roughly 172 million views, which puts it in fifth place. It follows a baby creeper through a sequence of comedic mishaps before landing on a surprisingly tender ending. At seven years old, it is also the longest-running entry on this list.

4. Minecraft Nostalgia (Short)

A short by GEVids has clocked around 210 million views by sending a player tumbling through maps that defined an entire generation. The Temple of Notch, Stampy's Lovely World, the original Minecraft tutorial world, and the first dropper map all make an appearance. It also holds the highest comment count of any video on this list, with more than 50,000 replies left behind.

3. BEES FIGHT: Alex and Steve Life

Squared Media's BEES FIGHT comes in at 225 million views. It opens on a quiet village stocked with familiar Minecraft faces and then promptly throws a witch and an undead army at the place. Thirteen minutes of choreographed chaos later, the runtime feels far shorter than it actually is.

2. Minecraft RTX 128% PROVOKE (Short)

Jake Fellman's short, only seconds long, has somehow gathered 325 million views by pairing a hyperrealistic art style with a Herobrine cameo. It is one entry in a wider series, every one of which has cleared 100 million plays. Brevity, it turns out, scales.

1. Cave Spider Roller Coaster: Animation vs. Minecraft Shorts Ep. 14

Alan Becker takes the crown with 424 million views. A team of stick figures rides through an abandoned mineshaft that just keeps producing more cave spiders, and the result is the kind of inventive, item-driven action scene that earns its spot at the top. Becker is also the same creator behind the original Animator vs. Animation videos from YouTube's early days, which is a nice reminder that some careers do keep building.
