2019 to 2020: Early Years
He joined YouTube on December 17, 2019 and uploaded a video on the same day titled "Fallen Kingdom! [Timelapse]", building a kingdom as well as building a Nether-like landscape in a separate video. He then went to build hacks and simple redstone mechanics with calm and relaxing music, especially those made by C418. He then ditches the calm and somewhat melancholic music and uses cheery and lively ones instead.
2021 to Mid 2022: Overnight Fame
He continued to use cheery music and his videos became more miscellaneous, now uploading complex machines and farms, and more build hacks. Then, he uploaded "Minecraft: 15+ Summer Build Hacks!" on May 15, 2021 which garnered more than 100 million views, making it his popular video. From that video on, he became famous, getting millions of views, thousands of likes, positive comments and subscribers. He got to a million subscribers just two days after the aforementioned video.
Mid 2022 to Mid 2023: Diversifying Contents
Getting a million subscribers and thousands of likes is not an easy task as so, he uploaded even more diverse content such as pranks, parkour and challenges with his friend, Felix. Additionally, he also posted secret and starter bases, farms as well as still uploading simple and complex redstone machines, and of course, build hacks which literally made him famous.
Mid 2023 to present: Concerning Inactivity
Though he's still popular, his videos were taking multiple months to upload, even for just one video. This sparked worry and concern among his fans which often asks him about his status and well-being as well as suggesting him videos to upload in his comments section. Currently, his latest video is posted 4 months ago.
