Enormously popular and influential (with its first installment now at 5 million views on YouTube), the series inspired numerous players and other series. While beloved for its humorous, calming and friendly atmosphere and sympathetic narrator, the series became controversial after X decided to experiment with the game out of boredom, leading to several unexpected and sometimes unwelcome changes. Others argue that this made the series all the more memorable. Following its 40th episode, the first series officially ended, but was followed by numerous short-lived sequels. AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder and CreatorBacklash have all but completely ended hopes for further Minecraft content on X's channel, but he continues intermittently making videos and maintains a dedicated cult following (most of his 200,000 subscribers don't pay attention, it seems).

Enormously popular and influential (with its first installment now at 5 million views on YouTube), the series inspired numerous players and other series.
