Minecraftcontinues to be one of the most popular games of the modern age, thanks to its unrestrictive and simplistic gameplay. WithMinecraftgathering over 600 million active usersas of November 29, the game is somehow only continuing to grow more than a decade after its initial release.
One ofMinecraft’s biggest strengths is the flexibility that it allows players to have when playing through the game, enabling players to build, play together, or survive alone with a ton of variables. Now, oneMinecraftplayer has managed to survive on the game’s hardcore mode for over 2,000 in-game days.

This player is actuallyMinecraftcontent creator Luke TheNotable, who has an ongoing series where he survives day-by-day in aMinecrafthardcore server. For those who may not know,Minecraft’s hardcore mode locks the player’s world on the “Hard” difficulty and prevents players from respawning at all when they die.Dying in aMinecrafthardcore worldessentially means that the world is lost entirely, with no way of going back to a previous save state. As such, it’s very impressive that Luke TheNotable has managed to survive this long.
Luke TheNotable has managed to not only survive, but flourish in hisMinecrafthardcore series. He has managed to create some incredibly impressive systems and automated elements throughout hisMinecrafttown, expediting the process of villager trading and farming far beyond what normal players do. In an interview with Polygon, Luke TheNotable mentioned that he has no intention on stopping hisMinecrafthardcore series, wanting to push the series as far as it can go. ConsideringMinecraftis YouTube’s most watched gamefor 2020, that doesn’t come as much of a surprise.
Still, it’s impressive to see just how far Luke TheNotable has come since the start of the series. The early stages ofMinecraftare always more challenging than the late game, considering players start the game with virtually nothing. Especially when playing hardcore mode when anything can kill you, players have to be extremely careful with their decision making. However, once players start getting into more advanced mechanics inMinecraftlike potion brewingand full enchanted armor sets, the challenge definitely begins to ease up.
Of course, Luke TheNotable isn’t just surviving in his day-to-day gameplay. HisMinecraftworld features some amazing buildsas well, such as an automatic villager farm that allows him to get the best in-game trades. Those interested in seeing the extremes that players can go to through vanillaMinecraftshould definitely give Luke TheNotable’s series a watch. Hopefully, he will be able to stick out his hardcoreMinecraftrun for many more days to come.
Minecraftis available now for Mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
