Well said! I agree that as long as you have a goal you are chasing, whether it is provided by the modpack itself or by yourself, then you will probably stay motivated. I think it is also important to identify friction points that come up and try deal with them as soon as possible. They are usually pretty subtle, but can pile up, and before you know it... you don't want to play the world anymore even if you still have a goal in mind.

I might have said this before but playing with friends may also keep you motivated to play. Don't choose distracting people though. I went from building a new factory in Omnifactory to creating a giant troll face and watching youtube after getting distracted.

Im genuinely impressed at the time, effort and courage it takes to not only just start a giant modpack, but record yourself and set challenges for yourself. To be able to do all that AND still edit videos and make them high quality defines you in a light that i would see as no less than amazing. I love your style of editing and your dedication to modded minecraft. Keep up the amazing work Three!!!

Your first world is still far better than mine whenever I play I promise myself that I will build a base, but it always ends the same purely "temporary" setups as far as the eye can see

Maybe it's just me, but I loved your vanilla collection project base the most. The block palette was the most cut back and subdued, leading to great comfy scenes, the buildings were seperate but connected in with each other, and because of the limitations of no mods I saw you using blocks in more creative ways like trapdoors as walls, the azalea bushes as flooring with the moss and stuff. As always kep up the great work Three!

Best way I have found to complete a mod pack, is to do a play through using cheats first, and use that play through to learn what is important to prioritize in the mod pack. Then do a normal play through.

An absolute amazing video, You mentioned in the video that at various points there is a step up in quality of video production. In my opinion you can notice in every episode, each episode gets better and better than the last. In terms of editing, building, gameplay in general and quite frankly quality. All your episodes are genuinly a pleasure for me to watch. Even though Inferno isnt my type of pack, I still thoroughly enjoyed watching, I originally came for the minecraft, I am staying for you. Also I too can't wait for the next Journey!

The TCP base is by far your best work aesthetically, and seeing you fit some creative vanilla farms into those spaces was really fun. It's a shame it couldn't be continued, because you are a much better builder than you give yourself credit for. Just no more limestone please

Three said "I hope to see you here again very shortly" in the gtnh world, just pointing that one out for ya'll.

I started watching you recently after finding your Divine Journey2 playthrough, which I was looking for as my laptop stopped letting me play modded minecraft when I was in the middle of the pack. Safe to say I have loved every single one of your videos which I have watched and will continue to watch them as long as you continue to make them. This video really makes me want to play again so I'm going to keep having to pretend I'm playing myself through your videos. Thank you for all the effort you put in to make such amazing videos

This is the first time I've come across your channel and woah! I've always been more of a vanilla guy so seeing you go through all your modded bases was a really cool thing to see, and honestly I do think a lot of what you talked about in the video definitely applies to vanilla in a lot of ways. Awesome video dude!

I started watching with you with GTNH and it's really cool seeing how your building style has changed over time. I personally love your Collection Series "base" the best, everything just looks amazing in that world. Looking forward to your next series.

probably one of the greatest modded minecraft videos of all time

Great video! I often have problems finishing the modpacks I play, your perspective really helps with that. Also, I really like this kind of content presented the way you do and I'd love to see more. Keep up the good work!

The effort put into this video alone is heartwarming :) This is my first video on your channel, oddly enough, and I am AMAZED at the amount of time you've put in! Your love for the game, and for creating videos for people to enjoy, shows! Much love and wishing you a fantastic 2024.

An absolutely amazing video! I just found your channel recently, but have been playing modded minecraft for around 5 years. You have really challenged me to change my entire play style, as I used to only do what you would call "lawn bases". I'm currently playing through Enigmatica 6 Expert with a main emphasis on developing my base building skills. I'm almost done with your Divine Journey 2 playthrough, and it has really inspired me to make something awesome. Thanks for all of your time and dedication! It really comes through in your videos!

There is so much amazing advice in this video. You come across as really genuine!

Honestly you're a huge inspiration for me going out of my comfort zone in modpacks nowadays, I hope these tips can help me out with Stoneblock 3 that I'm playing currently. I'd definitely say your Divine Journey 2 base is my favorite one, something about the color palette I love.

Thanks for sharing threefold. I love how you laugh or giggle when a huge problem happens that’s going to take a lot of time and effort to fix. It really shows your love for this game, a game we all love.

amazing video, youve done it again three im glad that i found you at the start of gtnh, best random search ive done i like the dj2 base, its just something with the color pallet and design, you are a dedicated man also i love how the outro gets longer by like half a second each episode, it really shows how much you have grown in terms of viewers and patrons, keep it up!

I really needed this, I’ve been going through packs either till I got bored or completed them. Thank you 😊

Thanks for all the tips and content. What works best for me out of all you mentioned is making backups to revisit my bases later (actually just screenshots of my progression), and sharing my achievements/builds with others on discord etc. Looking forward to your next series!

Honestly your reason for youtube playing, that is, just playing the games, makes it really clear that you're exactly the channel I wanna watch. Like, there's a real feeling of like "You're watching your friend play this game" to it, it's very cozy, in a way, haha. It's earnest gameplay of someone who's having a great time most of the time, and it's fun to sorta share the ups and downs and get to know your bases as you build them. Like, when I rewatch your series, it's always a lot of fun knowing what the end result is and re-seeing how you get there with that finished image in mind. In some, like early Divine Journey, it can really throw you for a loop, haha.

Always been admiring the dedication you have to play all these modded packs. So far its been a awesome journey. I started watching since DJ2 and i have been loving all your series since then

I've just foundyour channel through this video, and I wish I'd found it sooner. All of my modded bases pale in comparison of size, beauty, and progress to the ones you've shown here. In recent months, I've started to get bored of modpacks very quickly, but seeing these bases has given me inspiration. I tend to speed through the questbook, forgetting to enjoy myself along the way. I end up with a base that consists of a few machines running out of power in a cave, and I give up when I realize I should have been making a proper base. I'm in the middle of a FTB Stoneblock 3 playthough right now, and I think I'll apply some of your advice to my base. Thank you!

This is the first video I ever watch from you, and I gotta say I loved it. I feel like other similar videos (those that try to motivate you to keep playing your survival world) tend to resort to "just don't get bored bro", while you actually talk from personal experience about how to overcome this issue. Also, I really like your building style!

Yeah like a lot of others I found you when you were going through DJ2 to help me get through that pack, I love your play style and have found a lot of inspiration from your building style as well. Anyways thank you for bringing us these entertaining play throughs, I’m looking forward to seeing what you do next!

I found your channel when u started divine journey and have not stopped watching since. You are definitely the best Minecraft modded youtuber. Love ur vids and ur determination to finish the packs

Thank you for making this video. I was wondering where your TCP series went and while it's sad that there won't be any more episodes I am glad to have some closure. TCP was by far the best series you have produced so far (in my top 3). Excited to see what the future holds for this channel!

The inferno pack was an amazing pack with the colours and your style of building always looks so good, you always seem to know what your gonna do next to progress and it seems so effortless. I tend to build then rebuild to make things work better while trying to automate as much as I can as I go forward. you get 100/10 in my opinion!

Love your passion and style. Keep up the good work mate!

I binge watched some of these worlds over the course of a few weeks; the thing that hooked me was the rhythmic block placing during narratory intermissions and the b-rolls :)

first time watching you and instantly fell in love with your style of content, new sub! :]

I personally have recently moved from Vanilla to modded. Thanks to one of my friends attempting to put together their own "from-scratch" pack. I have always had an inkling for trying it out, but had no real reason to push through, until I came across a series put together by another channel. Then through them I had found you. You were the first time I had ever heard about GT:NH, and I was psyched about trying it out... Until I saw what Greg really did. So I decided to look at the first real pack that I wanted to experience, which is suggested below. All I can say is, thank you for pushing the limits of my comfort to a point that has allowed me to truly motivate myself to experience Modded Minecraft. While you may not be the only one influencing me to play, you are definitely the most collected and calm personality that I have started keeping an eye on. Keep on playing, but please take breaks when you need them. Notch knows that you'll need it the next time you take on a huge pack. I can't wait to see what you've got going on next! I have a suggestion for a modpack that I have personally found interesting because it mixes two of my favorite games. 1.12.2's "Feed the Factory" by Vnator (or Vinator, can't remember the proper spelling). It's a Factorio styled pack, mixed for Minecraft. You've got custom recipes, "research packs" and all sorts of high-power automation. The obvious goal is to get the Quantum Research and unlock the things that would allow to basically generate functionally-infinite materials and components. But my personal goal for it, is to be able to request literally anything and make an infinite amount of any research I need. I know that's a rather large goal, but it is a great "completion" goal that works with my mind.

Glad I found your channel through Divine Journey, even though I ended up watching the whole Nomifactory series first, heh! I look forward to binging the DJ2 series, that base looks gorgeous!!

Thank you for choosing to make this video, and yes it did help me! It's a nice complement for modded minecraft admist similar videos on vanilla. I have always struggled with completing things, and had only completed 1 series across 2 channels in all this time I have been making KZfaq videos. I agree that sharing your experience (in my and your case through videos) does help; it makes the whole experience so much richer, and you have that push to complete a whole series. Setting goals, mixing up the technical and creative side of the game, and taking breaks / mixing with other hobbies seems to be interesting tactics; I'll try those too! EDIT: And yes, thank you for adknowledging we all have to start somewhere. The first videos of my completed series are... oh man. They're not even the first videos I made! Hope to learn as I produce more videos.

I've been playing since 2010 also. But I never got this gud. You've really helped me break out of my rigid thinking and start to reconsider how I approach, not just modpacks, but Minecraft as a whole. Thanks!

I foud your Channel back when you just started E2E and keept up with your videos ever since. You really inspired me especially with your Divine Journey 2 Playthrough. I even played the same Pack and used an almost identical Block Pallet and for that reason alone i must say DJ2 is my favourite Base so far. The walk down memory lane was really awesome and i am trully excited for your next series :)

Started watching during your atm7 series and I love to see your progress with the base building! I'm not a hardcore modded gamer I usually the builder for the server and just build bases for my friends while they do all the grinding lol. So when I came across your videos I was SUPER happy to see someone who was not only really entertaining and thorough when it comes to modpacks but also spent time on the base design. Seeing that you can not only finish expert modpacks but also make beautiful bases is what helps motivates me haha. Love the vids

I really like how you play by building with the idea of interior and expanding as needed, not trying to fit into a set space.

Hey there, I came here since the start of your Inferno modpack and I had a blast watching it. I really think you deserve more subs then most people with even 1 milion subs! I am sure your channel will blossom the more modpacks you do, I love your style of edditing your footage whilst leaving the raw footage on another channel for those interested. Livestreams are a blast as well to watch. The way you explain certain modpacks and on how they work were also easy to follow and led me to play inferno myself too! It really is a blast playing through the pack, I am aiming to get the minecolony to really be self sufficient and fully upgraded to everything tier 5. Like making a whole city as if I would be playing cities skylines or something! hahaha Keep up the amazing content mate, also love your accent when you talk very relaxing to listen too

This video is part of the reason I chose to watch through your entire backlog after finishing the Inferno series. Feels so good to finally watch it and recognizing all of the different bases through time and different modpacks. I also noticed that there haven't been any new uploads on the current GTNH series, I hope you are doing well Three! Take some to rest if you need it, everyone should know that you do deserve it

it's actually incredible the amount of time nd effort you've put into finishing these packs, you inspire me to keep going with them and make something cool! i would love to see a deep dive on base building since it's the thing i struggle with most in big modpacks. this is great stuff Three!

great video, amazing editing - really easy to digest! excited for what's coming next

Amazing work of course on each mod pack, but more so for this video. It was very introspective and I found it quite enjoyable. Also, tried to watch your E2E series and, let’s just say you have made great strides as a content producer! 😊

Great video Three, I actually think that comparing my progress in Divine Journey 2 with your playthrough has hugely motivated me to keep playing and to outdo myself in ways I wouldn't have considered before - in terms of tough automation challenges and building and everything inbetween. I'm just moving on to Astral Sorcery and I'm still super enthusiastic about the pack -- keep up with the amazing videos :)

I’ve only been here for the last 2 modpacks, but damn… I want to go back and watch them all!❤

Thanks for making this video, you've given me the inspiration to try different mods/modpacks to see which ones I like. I think I'll start with Create. :)

One of the ways I help myself finish things is to find a friend that will sit down with me and do something at the same time, whether its the same thing, something similar, or completely different, just having someone you can chat with about progress or frustrations right from the beginning is super useful. The companionship is also nice!

Thanks for this, really helpful! I get overloaded with choices in modpacks as well but your approach I will definitely try as it seems much more organised than what I'm doing at the moment :P

luv ur content bro your are genuinely my favorite KZfaq I found when you started nomi and have been there ever since and you are the reason I played that pack and beat it and now I have found something I enjoy playing because of you and your content is amazing and to thank you for your amazing energy and passion you put into these videos

I really did like your ATM a lot; but I started there and I think I really enjoy your approach to things and your development. It’s really fun watching you especially play packs I wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole. Your amazing editing and videos as well is crazy as well

What a great video honestly, I loved your points and when you talked about vanilla MC, it's a shame you didn't get more views for your efforts, even if you don't mind it, since your videos helped me a bunch with base building. I love seeing beautiful bases and I kicked myself to finally start making better looking bases

Thanks for the motivation, i actually nedded that ! :D

wow, i never realized just how long it's been lol. fantastic video, the tips for staying motivated are really useful and seeing some of the older bases again is very cool, not sure if theres much else to say, this is one of the best videos on your channel in my opinion my favourite base of yours is probably the Inferno or TCP base but the nomifactory base probably brings back the most memories

I liked this video a lot. I'm glad to see that it is possible, and this may sound weird, to grow and actually get better at the things you want to get better at in minecraft. I struggle a lot combining the things that I don't like with what I do like but am bad at, and it kinda drags the whole experience of modded mincreaft down for me. I tend to tapper out in enthusiasm around the point where I have a lot of resources automated, but have to fix things constantly because I'm either creating too much of something I don't really need, or not enough of something I do. Everything gets messy, or its just plopped out in the open and aesthetically unpleasant. So long as you don't play another expert pack, I'll definitely be trying harder to play along (though I don't have as much time to put into this game as you). If you do, well, I'll still be happy to tune in and watch!

thanks man. needed this! ❤❤

First time viewer here, your video just popped up. Very thought out and enjoyable! Definitely subbed after that, looking forward to watch what else you have to offer.

I'm genuinely impressed to see your channel grow and improve in quality so much in such a short time, I wish you'd continue gtnh but I understand that the pack got to be a bit too much at that level, thank you for all the effort you put into your content Three!!!

Never heard of you before this video. Saw an Etho comment and really enjoyed the format and how informative but relaxed it is. I have strayed away from the create mod as much as I could until stoneblock 3, and im now going to go back and watch your create above and beyond playthrough! thanks!

I always waste weeks of my life creating modpacks and getting them to work nice and smooth and then, when I'm actually playing them, I usually just walk around, get killed by something, and don't play them ever again. This video was super helpful, so, Thanks!

great video and what dedication to the pack with i had a computer to play along with you

Thank you! This is a question I ask *myself* many times

Love your content! ❤

Love you threefold! ❤️

Thanks for the trip down memory lane, as well as the teasers for the journeys I haven't shared with you yet! I'm actually a newer subscriber - you got me hooked with the Nomifactory re-play, and it kinda just followed from there. One question I'd ask is how does one get started with base design and having an eye for aesthetics when that sort of artistic thought process isn't something that comes naturally? I've tried a few simple projects on a friends-and-family server with some friends because the artistry is kinda the point there as it's a very hodgepodge pack with no goals, but when I play a goal-oriented pack my brain goes into the normal goal-focused mode I default to, on top of the fact that my eye for these sorts of things is very weak. Many of the things you cite as mistakes or things that bug you are things I wouldn't even notice without you pointing them out, for example!

I do hope this is still the beginning of your journey. I hope you to bring us all many many more series. My favourite was the ATM7TTS. Thank you sir for the frequent evening chilling watching your episodes ❤

The first (and only (yet)) modpack I ever finished was Create above and beyond it was pretty fun, I never had played with create before that and learned a lot. I would change a lot of things if I ever played it again but the end felt kinda empty idk maybe it wasn't finished yet or something. Some months ago I started divine journey 2 with the intention to complete it (I know a big step up) and I kinda got bored my error was to don't automate things the moment I could. haven't played for 2 months now and the last time I played it was only to passively automate elevatium. I was starting ch.13. It is really inspiring to see you play and invest this much time and effort in modpacks. Keep up the good work! My favorite base was the second enigmatica 2 base the big castle looks really really good

For me my favorite one of your base is definitely still DJ2. Because it reminds me of the fun time following through the series from start to end. Modded minecraft is really an awesome game. I think its also one of the few games that I would say its equally fun to watch someone else play as it is to play it ourselves. Sometimes it's even more fun to watch a series simply because some of us really dont have the time to invest on a modpack. Looking forward to more and better series in the future. Been a pleasure to have seen your channel and content progressed since the beginning 😊👍

gratulations on 25K Subscribers! #Roadto100K!

I'm really going to enjoy this channel!

Thank you, I'm working my way through Project Ozone 3 Mythic mode, and this was that little something I needed to continue the grind.

Would love to see that video on base building and planning, as I feel like that’s my biggest issue. I’m TERRIBLE at building, but at the same time I really want an awesome looking base to spend my time in, so I end up losing all motivation.

Love your series. I’ve been binge watching all of your content. Could you do a AE2 breakdown? I’m having issues even when going back to your old videos

I am really impressed by this video to be honest. I didn't expect anything like this video but it helped me a lot because I often only work my way up until I get AE and then quit cause I don't have a goal in mind. Also I struggle with building around automation setups while also making it look decent, which you are really good at! I will bookmark this video and rewatch it again when I feel stuck playing modpacks in the future - thanks!

I gotta say, seeing the exteriors of all the other bases and seeing how everything fit together, I'd love to see a exterior view of the FTB Inferno that shows the exterior of everything underground to see how everything formed at the end. Beautiful showcase of all the packs and how you've played

Great video, just recently found your channel. Your videos really are great and I can see they take tons of time to make. I should get in the habit of saving my worlds so I can go back ..

Okay your castle is really cool. I keep falling into the stereotype of sanctioned areas independent of each other like labeled drawers, and the idea of making a castle a high tech control center with specialized architecture like in a normal castle but for the specialized tech is a rad concept. I am thinking a modern parody of old and well functioning systems breathing an interesting take on things. Makes me wonder what a trade route would look like with mining turtles, or other weird stuff that throws out maximum efficiency by having it adhere to a theme, rather than just the building itself being themed.

i love watching all your videos they are amazing and keep up the good work man

I started watching during Divine Journey 2, it was really nice to see that base again after a while. I do miss the collection project though, the videos for it were really high quality with the editing and after shots for the buildings. I understand the reason why you haven't gone back to it yet, I do hope to see it again in the future though!

This is the first video of yours that I ever saw. I don't know why the algorithm sent you my way but I'm glad it did. Your videos have been wonderful to watch and I'm very impressed. I've been bouncing between watching your 2nd season of GTNH and the backlog of divine journey, and I've thoroughly enjoyed both and will continue to do so as I work through the backlog. Keep up the great work, it's incredibly enjoyed!

I found you through Interactions and I think the aspect you've improved most in since then is the videomaking itself. At that point your videos were already way past the beginnings in E2:E, but they feel somewhat dry compared to nowadays. I find it impressive how much effort you put into making the videos enjoyable beyond the raw joy of watching someone complete a pack that I wouldn't have the motivation to finish (looking at you Divine Journey 2).

I really like your videos and have started watching them from the middle of your atm7 playthrough! Although I still haven't understood the concept of base building. Your builds are extremely beautiful and really make me want to continue playing modded minecraft, but I still haven't worked out the basic stuff. How do you do the height variation? How do you work out a good color palette out of hundreds of different blocks that come from different mods? How do you separate the rooms so everything doesn't get clumped up in one space? How do you make every hallway so exiting instead of being extremely linear? And do you like to work with odd or even symmetry lines? I really hope you answer some of these questions and even if you don't I'm really exited for the next mod you're going to take on! Good luck with whatever you're going to take on, as I will always tune in to your videos! Edit: I liked the most your Divine Journey 2 base as it was so HUGE!

Just found your channel while getting back into Modded Minecraft after not playing for half a decade. If you're still reading comments on this video I'd love for you to do a video on your approach to base design and how to plan ahead/be efficient with time. I definitely struggle with decision overload so it'd really help.

love the timing of this video. I myself just went thru a few of my old worlds in like ftb ulitimate where as that one inspired me to do gregtech new horizons and so far im loving it! and rewatching your run of it.

This indeed helped me a lot I've never finished a mod pack I played and I indeed still put a lot of hour into them but never had the will to finish them

i started watching you back in DJ2. Seeing all of your bases from the packs youve played id say enigmatica 2 and the collection project were my favorite bases. Ive gone back and watched interactions, just not enigmatica 2 yet. Youve grown alot in your editing, building, and play style. Even videos like this are really charming and nice. Cant wait for the new series and keep doing what you love Three! P.S. I loved the gtnh series as i played it years ago when it first came out. You and Lash made the series so enjoyable. Thanks for the great content!

Really enjoyed your look back at previous series. I found you through looking for help with DJ2, my partner and myself took on the challenge, and even with two of us it may not get finished, although I do really enjoy it! We took a break from DJ2 and basically did play along with you as you went through Inferno, I let my partner deal with Minecolonies, he seemed to enjoy it- I did not. I was quite happy base building and breeding those bees, my bee corridor took direct inspiration from yours. Excited to see where you go next! Love your content.

My favourite base is ATM 7: All the sky, as for myself that is the first time i came across your channel. The flow of the base going from section to section is awesome and the elevator just takes it all the way. For aesthetics definitely the castle from Enigmatica 2 as its the coolest, you truly see the amount of hours and dedication involved to make it look the way it does. It crazy! It amazing! ps. You are now my most preferred Minecraft channel to watch, and also I've watched so many other Minecraft Influencer channels going from Mindcrack & Hermitcraft group to Captain Sparkles etc. The editing and the flow you bring to your videos bring a higher standard than videos they produce. Keep the videos coming! Thank you for all your effort and excited to come along for the journey. Can't wait for the next pack in modded minecraft.

This had some pretty amazing tips. I never thought of doing the grid pattern style for base design. I've been struggling with getting through PO2 and a lot is due to lack knowledge with automation. I'm still pretty new to the modded scene but I'm definitely going to try out that grid style.

Motivation is definetly something i need.

this gave me motivation thanks! ill sub

Great video. Got most of the way through E2E and started GTNH with some friends. At HV tier and am trying to re-design/layout everything and have lost a lot of motivation to play.

It was a nice video ... I've spent a good Time watching how you started your Channel 😁

0:17 2900 Hours of Gregtech

My favorite Threefold base has got to be DJ2. Not even for any big aesthetic reasons, but for nostalgia, since I found you around that time. I might not be the most active commenter on KZfaq or chatter on Discord, but be sure that I keep watching every single one of your videos whenever they come out! Your editing skills have become much better as well, and I only wish you the best in your next pack.

Definitely giving motivation again. I've always designated DDSS as my "long-term" pack. Due to life, it's been put on hold, but this video definitely reinforces my desire to play it. It's my first real attempt at completing a modpack and actually trying to build, not just have a flat surface. Thanks again for the video, Three!

Wow the Create A&B base is awesome, never seen this series.

Amazing video! I don’t know if I will ever complete a mc modpack but I do enjoy them sometimes 👍

Just looking at the difference between your base in season 1 of GT:NH and the current one, wow I love the new base. At one point i remember someone saying that when you finish, your base will become an iconic GT:NH megabase and its so true.
