How to Do a Minecraft Lets Play Series

Last Updated: September 19, 2021

This article is on how to create a successful Minecraft video series.

Steps

1
Start a new Minecraft World. Name it according to the name of the series. The title should hook your viewers into coming back for more but don't exaggerate it with "clickbait" titles.
2
Have an introduction explaining your name, world, and what will happen in that video. Try not to act so shy on camera and speak clearly. Speaking louder and clearer can help keep the audience hooked.
- e.g. "Hello, I'm Aaronn555 and welcome to a let's play inside of Aaron's world. In this video I will be building my house..."
- A common Minecraft intro has loud dubstep music with the name of the person in 3D text. Perhaps it might be possible to deviate from there and get creative.

3
Play the game and narrate the whole time. Do not always narrate the game. Include information about yourself, tips, humor, and a good storyline.
4
Find a good place to end the video and say a conclusion.
- ex: "See you next Saturday for my next let's play!"
- Make the end cliffhanging to make people want to watch your next episode
5
Upload it to YouTube on a special channel only for gaming.
6
Frequently check on the comments and reply. Some gamers give shoutouts to people with the best comment or someone who completes a challenge.
7
Upload videos of other games or other worlds to keep your channel interesting. Frequently upload videos (e.g. twice a week for each series or upload another video every week in between).

To record your screen on Minecraft Pocket Edition, you will need an app dedicated to screen recording. If you have an Apple device, you can simply use the control center. If you have an Android device, apps like ABC Screen Recorder will work best.
Question

Is it okay to do collaborations with other Youtubers?

Community Answer

Of course! A lot of people are going to say “Oh, look, I know that YouTuber!” And they might want to see it more.
Question

Where can I find good maps to use for the series? For example, on an Apple iPad.

Community Answer

You can find maps on websites like mcpedl.com and planetminecraft.com. If you are on an iPad, then download one with an .mcworld file and open it to import.

Warnings

Do not go over 25 minutes. You don't want to drag on the video.

Do not go mining for too long as it can be very boring for the viewer.

It is okay to exceed video time for videos such as big building tutorials, 2D art tutorials, or note block tutorials.
