PrestonPlayz needs monster photos for Minecraft's skeptical villagers

A giant-footprint hunt is drawing a fresh burst of views, with camera traps and a helpful villager joining the investigation.

Why this story? The video is running at 516,311 views a day, 7.9 times its usual pace (65,152).

  1. 1:03Preston tracks the Giant Werewolf through a nighttime jungle and tries to photograph it.
  2. 4:05Deep-ocean shipwrecks become the setting for a Sea Hand Monster stakeout.
  3. 9:16Villager Danny helps Preston make the transparent Blood Phantom visible using milk.
  4. 14:15Long-Legged Steve prompts a camera-trap setup with redstone triggers and honey-slowed paths.
  5. 19:04An enormous toe print points Preston toward the Colossal Golem and a snowy mountain village.

Surviving a giant werewolf is only half the job. Preston still has to persuade a Minecraft villager that the photograph he risked his life to take is worth believing.

That running problem drives "I Found FOOTPRINTS of FAMOUS Minecraft MONSTERS…," his September adventure, which has added roughly half a million views in a day, nearly eight times its usual daily pace. His older "I Found the HOUSE HEAD in Minecraft…" is also drawing an unusually large daily audience.

The footprint hunt is a staged Minecraft monster story, not a discovery of creatures in the standard game. Preston explicitly describes the scary myths as fiction, credits JPPlays as inspiration, and the video includes an advertising segment.

Each creature brings a different photography problem. The Sea Hand Monster requires a trip to deep-ocean shipwrecks. A transparent Blood Phantom calls for help from Villager Danny and an unlikely ingredient: milk. Long-Legged Steve moves so quickly that Preston builds camera traps, using redstone triggers and honey to slow his subject down.

"I almost died for this photo, man!" Preston says after the werewolf encounter. The villagers remain a demanding audience, with one insisting on evidence of every monster before accepting his story.

Viewers are inspecting that evidence, too. Some point out an apparent contradiction in the Phantom's photographs, while another questions why Preston's underwater air bubbles aren't dropping. Danny's willingness to stand up for him gets attention as well. In a story full of enormous creatures, the helpful villager supplies a smaller, warmer moment.

  • That was sweet of Danny to stand up for you
    @JannikeFerreira-r4pSee it on YouTube
  • At 13:05 one of the pictures he’s going through shows the Phantom as a Phantom not as a solid so his whole theory that phantoms can’t show up on pictures is gone
