How We Make Minecraft

How We Make Minecraft[1] is a series on the Minecraft YouTube channel that focuses in developers revealing information about development while the Narrator provides comedic relief.

The series is split between several seasons, each with a distinctive purpose and personality. The first revolves squarely around Narrator and serves as a soft parody of documentaries, while the second is a buddy comedy featuring Narrator and M.A.R.I.L.L.A. infiltrating the company under mysterious conditions. The third returns the focus to Narrator, who is now depicted in a live action environment.

The video begins by "daring [the viewer] join us" into the mind of Tiny Jens, whose thought process is depicted unfavorably. Moving on, Narrator introduces the show, showing two villagers using a giant cauldron to cook "the delicious soup that is Minecraft." Unsatisfied with the analogy, a witch appears, before Narrator decides to explore the process of adding a new mob to Minecraft. The mob, named Mobbo, is deemed "categorically adorable" upon birth, and established to spit lava, has a kazoo for a voice, steals blocks to replace with the Block of Eternal Screaming, and even consumes save files. After asking why Mobbo can't be added immediately, Narrator explains that introducing such a destructive mob could ruin the game's delicate ecosystem, as seen when the fox mob was too effective at finding food. They tone down Mobbo's abilities, such as having it spit spit instead of lava, like a llama, and proceed to film six hours of the two spitting at each other.
