These our our favorite Minecraft YouTubers, from those showcasing epic builds to ones who entertain us with hardcore runs and mod reviews.

Steve and Alex are emerging from a portal with a pig, chicken, wolf, and golem to try and find the best Minecraft Youtubers. The YouTube logo is to their right.

Who are the best Minecraft YouTubers? Since the blockbuster indie game Minecraft was originally released in 2009, we’ve watched empires of blocks rise and fall on YouTube as players share their adventures with the world. There are innumerable Minecraft content creators on YouTube – and we can see why: the wildly popular sandbox game has a wealth of potential for creating entertaining videos that cater to all kinds of audiences.

There are thousands of Minecraft YouTubers out there sharing meticulously composed Minecraft builds, exploring fun Minecraft servers with their friends, discovering weird and wonderful Minecraft mods, publishing Minecraft tutorials, let’s plays, or even racing to complete the sandbox game as fast as humanly possible. If you’re looking for brand-new blocky entertainment, we’ve headed down into the mines to find a range of creators who offer all kinds of Minecraft videos.

Here are the best and most popular Minecraft YouTubers in 2024:

Aphmau

Aphmau is among the biggest Minecraft YouTubers right now with over 20 million subscribers to her channel. Jessica, to call her by her real name, uploads regular Minecraft videos in which she plays with game-changing mods installed or simply plays the survival game as an RPG, living out fantasies and stories in ongoing series. Aphmau is perhaps as popular as she is though thanks to her varied content, as you can also find entertaining Roblox videos on her channels, Minecraft music videos, and the perfect mix of longform content and entertaining shorts.

Fundy

Fundy is a Minecraft modder who codes his own strange mechanics into the base game for YouTube content. This usually leads to some incredibly funny, silly, or satisfying content where he destroys entire worlds with new features, changes the way mobs act, or adds new ones altogether.

Ssundee

Like many of the other top Minecraft creators these days, Ssundee doesn’t just focus on Minecraft content, also playing a lot of Among Us and Roblox. That said, his Minecraft mod videos are among his most popular and most amusing.

Jelly

Another creator with over 20 million subscribers, Jelly is also among the most popular Minecraft YouTubers in 2024, and is also a child-friendly channel, so you know there’s nothing scary or sweary here. Instead, Jelly has a range of incredibly short and digestible videos usually featuring friends or larger servers, and you can find almost anything on their channel: from vanilla builds to maps and modded worlds.

EYStreem

Given the current Minecraft YouTube meta, if you can call it that, a lot of the most popular Minecraft creators right now make similar content, so it’s all about finding a personality you enjoy most. EYStreem, then, is similar to the likes of Aphmau, Jelly, and Ssundee in terms of content, showcasing hilarious Minecraft mods in an engaging way. EYStreem also uploads videos with varied lengths, as well, so if you’re looking for a longer video to chill out to at night, they have some up to three hours long, while most are 15 to 20 minutes in length.

TrixyBlox

If you prefer to watch people build spectacular creations, then Youtuber TrixyBlox is a great pick, and is known for his massive, awe-inspiring Minecraft builds. His videos include hundreds of hours of hand-built Minecraft creations, condensed together via timelapse and narration illustrating his creative process. His builds are astonishingly creative, incorporating influences from film, other games, and his fantastic ideas. It’s truly fascinating to watch his ideas come to life – and if his videos have sparked your creative urges and you’re eager to build yourself, he’s got a video of 50 Building Tips & Tricks to get you started.

Pixlriffs

Suppose you’re brand new to Minecraft, or you want to learn more about how the game works. In that case, Pixlriffs’ Minecraft Survival Guide goes into meticulous detail about pretty much everything there is to know about the game – he’s like a Minecraft encyclopedia. His channel also contains cool build tutorials and Let’s Play series of various maps, with the occasional mod showcase thrown in for good measure.

Technoblade

Technoblade, or Alex, spent years as one of the most popular Minecraft content creators before devastating the community with the announcement that he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer at the young age of 22. After this, his star rose even more as fans rallied behind Alex in support, but he sadly lost his battle just a year later in 2022. His YouTube channel and other socials remain up and are run by his family who sometimes still post new content celebrating Alex’s life, so there’s still plenty of amazing content to check out if you still want to support his family or just revisit some of Technoblade’s best Minecraft content.

Philza

Famous for his five-year Minecraft hardcore run – which sadly ended after a dramatic showdown with a baby zombie – Philza is a highly entertaining YouTuber and Twitch Streamer who also often participates in the Minecraft Championships. Though he’s not suitable for younger viewers, there’s plenty to learn from Philza’s wealth of experience – and of course, the stakes are high as Philza attempts to survive the wrath of the Minecraft mobs who are out to ruin his latest hardcore run.

Viggoman Plays

A must-watch for any Minecraft builders, Viggoman is widely respected for his incredible creations. Most of his videos are captivating timelapse builds of lovingly detailed medieval Minecraft castles, villages, and forts – though he does have an ongoing Minecraft Survival Multiplayer playthrough, where he builds smaller projects with friends. There are also several helpful tutorials with simple, stylish builds viewers can follow along with, including several charming Minecraft houses.

Hermitcraft

HermitCraft isn’t a channel in itself – it’s a Minecraft server populated with a group of Minecraft YouTubers that’s been running since way back in 2012. It’s evolved over the years into a YouTube family of a select group of ‘Hermits’, who stream and upload videos of their HermitCraft adventures to their respective channels. We’re over ten seasons in now, but there’s always time to jump in and get to know the Hermits.

While the most well-known HermitCrafters are Mumbo Jumbo and Grian, all of the Hermits are knowledgeable, entertaining, and dedicated to making the HermitCraft server a fun and wholesome experience. We particularly recommend BDoubleO100 and Keralis.

Iskall85 is another entertaining Hermit who also has his own modded server called Vault Hunters which he plays with Minecraft YouTubers CaptainSparklez, PeteZahHutt, and Tubbo. You can download Iskall’s VaultHunters mod from Curseforge.

CaptainSparklez

Jordan Maron, or CaptainSparklez, is one of the most well-known Minecraft YouTubers. What this means is that he’s also one of the oldest – you know, in his 30s – since he’s been going for over a decade. Jordan first became known for his Minecraft music parodies, including Revenge, but also participates in MCC.

Jordan is slowing down his new YouTube Minecraft content, but his Minecraft streams are still being added in full to his CaptainSparklez 2 channel. We’d still recommend his older videos, though, especially if you’re interested in mods or Minecraft maps, as his YouTube catalogue is arguably the best for walking you through a range of amazing adventure and puzzle maps.

Zylenox

While Zylenox might not have the biggest YouTube channel you’ve ever seen, they are the world record holder for the Any% Glitchless Minecraft speedrun category, so if you’re interested in seeing how speedruns work, there’s no one better to watch. With several record attempts on their channel, you can watch multiple random seed attempts to get some hints and tips for your own Minecraft speedrun attempts.

There you have it – the best Minecraft YouTubers out there at the moment. After a long day watching Minecraft YouTube videos, if you fancy hopping into the game yourself, we suggest accessorizing with one of these Minecraft skins – or trying out a new Minecraft texture pack.
