00:0026 Minecraft stereotypes you'll encounter on any server.
00:03These are the players, good and bad,
00:04that you might've seen when you hit the tab key,
00:06starting with the cheater.
00:07And I'm not just talking about on your spouse,
00:09though I wouldn't be surprised
00:10if there was a give command for an affair.
00:14But there's people who will just,
00:16yeah, well, I went mining, you were at lunch.
00:18Okay, well, you went mining and you got blocks
00:21that weren't possible to grab right now.
00:23I don't know how you went from having no silk touch
00:25and wooden tools to now all of a sudden
00:27having the dragon egg and all of these diamond doors
00:31inside of your base.
00:32At least this is a better building job
00:33than most cheaters would do.
00:35Yeah, using command blocks and stuff to build.
00:37And I think the problem with cheating
00:39is that it just instantly ruins the fun of not only you,
00:42but also other people on the server.
00:44If there's no stakes,
00:45then what's the point of playing survival?
00:47Let's just go into creative.
00:48Kills the fun.
00:50Observers allowed to cheat.
00:51An open relationship for observers cheating.
00:55The unemployed.
00:56So, hey man, I'm starving.
00:58Could you do some farming?
00:59Sure.
01:00Heard that you needed bread.
01:01And then all of a sudden they've just gone
01:03and spent all of their time
01:05placing every single crop imaginable.
01:08These are the people you know who set up every single farm.
01:10They never log off.
01:12They're always playing on the server.
01:13And at a certain point, it just gets hard to catch up.
01:16If someone's able to put in this much time,
01:18you just get outworked.
01:19You can't even build without having to step
01:21on some next big project that they have.
01:24It feels more like you're a guest
01:25in their single player world
01:26than playing a multiplayer server together.
01:28And I'll admit, this is one I've definitely been guilty of
01:31because while my friends were in college
01:33and I was younger than them
01:34and I was still in regular school,
01:36I had a lot of free time.
01:37The assassin.
01:38Now this is the friend who's always trying to kill you
01:40in some way, shape, or form.
01:41I mean, free stuff real, that seems fine.
01:43The skull through the grass, maybe not so much.
01:47And then there you go.
01:48You open this up, you've got the secret trap.
01:50I mean, granted, writing in blood,
01:52that might've tipped me off,
01:54but I'm not always trying to play
01:55with a friend who's trying to kill me.
01:56And while you can turn on friendly fire,
01:58a trap like this doesn't use any friendly fire.
02:01It just uses bad will.
02:03So it's annoying when someone just wants
02:05to always go out of their way to kill you.
02:07Makes you want to move away from spawn.
02:08And then you're not really playing multiplayer.
02:10You're just playing single player
02:12while you've got a monster living in your house.
02:15Yeah, now I'm going to go stay over here
02:16and I guess you have spawn now.
02:18The red stoner.
02:19Now this is someone who will go through
02:21all of this insane effort.
02:22You've got the melon and pumpkin farms
02:24all the way down to the roots.
02:26You've got all these in complex redstone doors.
02:29Everything is automated.
02:31Everything is the best optimal way possible.
02:34I mean, you're literally redstone component.
02:38Redstone is great, but everything gets automated.
02:41And then what do you do?
02:42And this is one,
02:43I also feel like I'm pretty guilty of trying.
02:46I like to have the game get as efficient as possible.
02:49But whenever I'd suggest to my girlfriend,
02:52hey, why don't we try building this farm?
02:54She's like, I just kind of like going through
02:55and harvesting my crops.
02:57And I can't falter for that
02:58because there it's definitely an important way
03:01of just zoning out with the game.
03:02There's no right way to play.
03:04There's optimized ways to play,
03:05but that's only right for some people.
03:07The day one-er.
03:08This is someone who shows up to server as soon as it starts
03:11and then never shows up again.
03:13We like to call this person Sandiction where I'm from.
03:15Yeah, days since online,
03:17203,018,058 days since they logged on.
03:22So any minute now,
03:24just takes one message on Discord and there'll be online.
03:27What we've got here is just the person who only shows up,
03:30gets really excited.
03:32They don't even give you the full two week binge.
03:34They're gone forever.
03:35Hey man, I built this really cool thing.
03:36You want to try it?
03:37Oh yeah, I'll get on.
03:38Crickets.
03:39Now this person we're going to call the Steam Punk,
03:41which is the punk who wants to play any other game
03:44on Steam versus this.
03:45So every message that you get,
03:47can we play something else?
03:48Dude, just stop.
03:49Well, Terraria is better.
03:50How does the warden ever drop loot?
03:52All they're ever doing is complaining
03:53whenever you boot up Minecraft
03:55that they want to play something different.
03:56I get overjoyed to play other games.
03:58That's why we have Skippy Tea as a channel
03:59to mess around on.
04:00If you agree to play Minecraft,
04:02let's just play Minecraft.
04:03It's what the group's doing.
04:04You can find your own fun.
04:05This one is the Parkour Master.
04:07Now we're not going to give them any kind of special boots
04:09or anything,
04:10but this is the person who just knows how to do
04:12every single jump in the game.
04:13All their time is parkour.
04:15Maybe they're even reading off Reddit posts.
04:17I don't know.
04:17Okay, I got a comment that someone was like,
04:19does Skip's space bar have a delay?
04:22No, my brain has a delay and my body pays the price.
04:26Hey, for the beef and the chicken.
04:29The Exploiter.
04:30Now through very legitimate means of gameplay,
04:32we're going to show off how with just this simple setup
04:36and some silk touch,
04:37you can get infinite TNT.
04:39Now I know what I would call this.
04:40I know what Mojang would call this,
04:42and I'm not even necessarily opposed to it.
04:45There's a lot worse exploits than this.
04:46Let's just say that.
04:47I would say that sand farming is more cheaty than this.
04:50And then I would say the duplication glitches,
04:53such as anything that gets you shulker box duplication
04:56or anything like that, obviously the most.
04:59But much like the cheater,
05:00they just remove a lot of the fun from the game.
05:02TNT farming, at least you could put this into something
05:04like getting netherite.
05:06And then the ancient debris scraps,
05:07you have to go down there and fly to get.
05:09Use your pickaxe, use an elytra,
05:11use the fire resistance potions.
05:13Use your best judgment when it comes to exploits,
05:15but there's always that one person
05:16who loves to show them off.
05:18And you know what?
05:19Honestly, guilty as charged.
05:19It is fun to point that out.
05:20Now this one's the miner with an E.
05:23So the miners, yeah, you're in for the mines.
05:26And we have all got that one friend
05:28who will just go and do mining all the time, always.
05:31And you know, when you live next to the miner,
05:33because all of a sudden you'll be going around
05:36trying to build a basement
05:37and you just find these weird cheese grids
05:39throughout your base.
05:40They're just making their strip mines
05:42and you run into them.
05:43Terrible.
05:44For one, cannot be structurally safe,
05:46but having to live next to this is just the worst.
05:49Technically I did this not the optimal way.
05:51You're supposed to leave a two block gap.
05:52And this is definitely my go-to
05:53whenever I have to podcast or something.
05:55It's a nice mindless activity,
05:57especially when you have efficiency five,
05:59but it also means that the whole world
06:01ends up looking really weird.
06:03This is the content creator.
06:05This is your friend who will always record
06:07every single session, which that much is fine.
06:10Not letting you know that they're recording,
06:12that's a whole lot worse.
06:13Oh, look at us, me and Observer on the green screen.
06:16Yeah, we're doing this like a cringy Minecraft intro.
06:18I do love this player head though.
06:20Look at it, it's got a little TV screen.
06:22I will say that in the end,
06:23when you get to look back and see all the server documented,
06:26that's pretty nice.
06:27I mean, that's how we have some of my favorite clips
06:30in Minecraft history.
06:31The speed runner.
06:32In my friend group, it's just rec rap.
06:34But this is the person who beats the ender dragon
06:36on day one.
06:37And even if you do set up a rule,
06:39like the end is blocked off until everyone's ready,
06:42they'll only ever join as soon as it goes.
06:44And then as soon as they get the end city loot
06:46that they want, like the elytra,
06:48they grab that and they're done playing.
06:50For them, the game has no more meaning past that.
06:52Wow.
06:53Well, thanks Observer.
06:55That gives you the most of a body I've ever seen.
06:58I mean, speed running techniques could definitely help.
07:00I think there's some stuff that's worth knowing
07:02just in general,
07:03which is why we've made videos taking speed run techniques
07:05and trying to apply them to base survival game.
07:07But you live everything in the fast lane,
07:09you miss a lot on these sides.
07:11The doomed.
07:12This is the person on the server
07:13who always has the highest death count.
07:15Ah, there you go.
07:16Yep, that sounds about right.
07:18Honestly, pretty low for him at this point.
07:19Good for him.
07:20I don't know about you,
07:21but I have a friend who will die to things
07:23that I never thought was possible.
07:24Anytime that we get to,
07:26oh God, that's horrific.
07:27I've got this one friend who,
07:29anytime that he joins the server,
07:31he's fine all the way up until the nether.
07:33The nether is his kryptonite.
07:35He'll always find the quickest way to die.
07:38So that one's for you, dispenser.
07:39The encyclopedia.
07:41And this is the person who knows everything about Minecraft.
07:43And if you have a question about some random trivia,
07:46they always have an answer.
07:47Now this might sound like me,
07:49but I gotta be honest, folks.
07:51It's really Observer.
07:52Observer is the person I know
07:53who knows the most about Minecraft knowledge.
07:56Observer is the most technical player that I know.
07:58I truly wouldn't be able to make these videos
08:00without Observer's knowledge and know-how.
08:02And we also have other great people on the team
08:04who've known a lot about the game.
08:07I just know how to say words.
08:08The role player.
08:09Here, we've got the sword and the stone.
08:11Well, I can try to lift it out.
08:13So I'm gonna give it to the King of England.
08:15Oh, Observer got it.
08:16Look at you, King Observer.
08:17But this is the person who,
08:19they have a story that they're going to be acting out
08:21on the server while you're playing.
08:23But for some reason,
08:24they don't make the rest of us privy to it.
08:25So you're just kind of wondering why they're acting weird.
08:28And it'd be particularly uncomfortable
08:30if there's someone who wants to role play
08:32as a villain or a jerk character.
08:34And now he just wears chain mail like this.
08:36I don't understand.
08:37He never takes it off.
08:38It's permalocked.
08:40Curse of binding to this story.
08:43It's gold doubloons.
08:44The admin.
08:45And this one gives us a funny hat.
08:47Yeah, that's pretty funny.
08:48Oh no, Observer, what happened to your head?
08:50That is kind of eerie.
08:51Just having you float around as a puffer fish.
08:56The admin's the person who runs the server
08:57and they keep everything from falling apart.
08:59But you rarely ever get a glimpse of them
09:01because they're just flying through the sky
09:03at some random thing.
09:05It's like seeing Ho-Oh at the beginning of your journey.
09:06Yep, see ya.
09:07All right, well, I trust that the server's in good hands
09:09or where pans would be if you had them.
09:12Here's where the admin comes in
09:14and usually they could be a force for good.
09:16Usually.
09:17The farmer.
09:18Now this is the person, much like my girlfriend,
09:20who loves manually farming crops.
09:22It doesn't matter if they could do it so much faster
09:24or get better returns or automate anything.
09:27They don't care.
09:27Because in the end, just going through
09:29and punching a few things, planting them where you will,
09:31it's a good way to develop your Minecraft thing.
09:33This feels like someone who would have rather
09:35been playing Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing instead.
09:38Just having a routine in Minecraft, very nice.
09:41Now don't pay attention to the other chores
09:42that are slacking off.
09:43At least the crops are maintained.
09:45That's not a slight of my girlfriend.
09:46Sorry, I know she's gonna watch this.
09:49That's not a slight.
09:49There are dishes in the sink, though.
09:51Just the alpha wolf.
09:53So this is your friend who goes through
09:54and tames every single wolf as if they were Pokemon.
09:57As if you were playing Pixelmon
09:58and the only ever Pokemon that they ever got was the hound.
10:01And now at least it's a little better
10:03because there's so many different types of wolves
10:05that they can go tame.
10:07This being one of the rarer ones.
10:08But the idea of just only ever having a bunch of wolves
10:11and it means that you can never actually play them
10:14in a game of tag because one punch and it's done.
10:16Even they can't tell apart their own dogs.
10:18It's gotten that bad.
10:19I was a little guilty of this in July series, though.
10:21I wanted to make sure that I got all the wolves.
10:23So I just kept going through ad nauseum.
10:25Most of the time they just sit at home
10:27because the idea of losing one of their many wolves
10:29is too dark to them.
10:30So they never actually get to go see the world or anything.
10:33They're just collected like trophies.
10:35Oh, there you go.
10:37Sick them, boys.
10:38The fisherman.
10:39This is someone who just likes to set up a fishing dock
10:41and then just fish to their heart's content.
10:43Which don't get me wrong,
10:44is a great way to spend your time, but is this it?
10:47You know what I mean?
10:48Like, is this all I'm ever gonna be doing?
10:50You know, you can set up the podcast,
10:52hang out in the Discord call.
10:53It's a solid way to do it.
10:55And sometimes you can even invite your friends
10:56for a fishing contest.
10:57Doing this, never going around and helping out
11:01with any of the other projects, only ever fishing.
11:02Gets a little boring, at least for me.
11:04Let me not be mean.
11:05It gets a little boring to me, but clearly it could be fun.
11:08Let me not just go and rain on someone's parade,
11:10even though I just literally got rain on mine.
11:13The bad builder.
11:14Now I've had friends like this.
11:15I don't want to say them out loud to protect the innocent.
11:18I honestly might fall into this camp too,
11:20but this will be the person who goes in,
11:22builds the most ugly base imaginable.
11:24And for some reason they tend to build it
11:26just a little too close to what you were planning.
11:28And unfortunately Minecraft doesn't have any zoning laws.
11:32So now you've just got this real eyesore
11:34looking like someone griefed next to your base.
11:37And oh my gosh, the amount of people I've seen recently
11:39who they're using wood in the floors,
11:42but then they will just like get the orientation wrong.
11:45That's pretty gnarly.
11:46The trophy collector.
11:48This is the person who gets every single rare item
11:50in Minecraft and then just puts them on display
11:52because literally what else are you supposed to do?
11:54The dragon egg, nothing.
11:56The thing banner pattern, put it on a shield.
11:59It looks worse.
12:00The tall grass and large fern items,
12:01which you can only find inside of certain village chests.
12:04Are they rare?
12:05Yes.
12:05Are they useful?
12:06No.
12:07So there is just certain things where it's like, okay,
12:10well if they got netherite, that's cool at least.
12:12They're maybe a pro then.
12:13But the other rare items,
12:15especially if they're wanting to steal the dragon egg,
12:17just that no one else on the server can get it.
12:19That feels a little like they're taking it away.
12:22These are just things that everyone's
12:23going to get at some point.
12:24That's a banner pattern I would pay for.
12:26The skull and crossbones of the observer, that rocks.
12:30Put that on my shield.
12:31The programmer.
12:32Now this is your friend who likes to make Minecraft mods
12:35and always tries to convince the admin
12:36to install their work.
12:38But most of the time calling it work
12:40is a bit of an overstatement.
12:41Saying that a lot of these work is rare at best.
12:45And then when the admin finally agrees
12:47and does actually install the mod,
12:48there's a 50% chance that it's a troll mod.
12:50And the other 50% chance is that it's a troll mod
12:53that didn't work.
12:53The nomad.
12:54Now this is the friend who never wants
12:56to actually build a base, despite how rich they might be.
12:59All of it is just inside of this ender chest.
13:01There might be all the riches in the world
13:03that you can imagine in here, but you'll never know
13:05because they never actually use any of that wealth
13:07to set up things.
13:08Of any of these, this might be what I'm guilty of the most.
13:11Genuinely, because I have so often gone and built farms
13:15before I ever built a base.
13:16Because I'm actually kind of self-conscious about building,
13:19but the idea of just doing something simple, that works.
13:21Even this is cuter than most things I would build.
13:25I've played on multiple servers
13:26where all I have is a chest monster, a furnace array,
13:28and a couple of farms to my name, and six beacons.
13:31Just a modest lifestyle, really.
13:33The Riddler.
13:34This is the person who likes to make secret bases
13:36everywhere throughout the world.
13:38So using this torch key, I can then go sneak through here,
13:41secret base, and what's even worse is when these people
13:44go and make secret bases inside of your bases.
13:47I mean, guilty as charged on that one.
13:48At least it's a mini game to go do,
13:52but at a certain point it does get a little old.
13:54This one is the AFK-er, who's always there,
13:57but they're never really there.
13:58They're always just eerily hanging out.
14:00Gets even worse when you have that vanilla tweaks thing
14:02that makes their name gray out.
14:04Just like, hey, everything all right?
14:06Cool, thanks man, glad I'm using bandwidth for you.
14:10Just for them to keep some farm active
14:12that they're never using.
14:13You can either call them the noob,
14:15or if you're feeling a little bit more charitable,
14:17this is the person you want to help out.
14:19This is the person who always needs help on the server.
14:21Doesn't matter what the situation is,
14:23they always just lost their items.
14:24They don't know anything about Minecraft.
14:26They always need something.
14:27You give them all the stuff and then they never use it.
14:30They die immediately with it.
14:31Who knows?
14:32Just consider it a lost cause.
14:34That's pretty much all I keep from End City loot
14:36is just for when I have friends join
14:38and they ask for free stuff.
14:39Otherwise, I'm never really using
14:40all the enchanted iron things anyway.
14:42If I want to give it to someone else
14:43so that they can clear it out of my chest, fine.
14:47Hey there, buddy.
