I like how this channel went from Minecraft content to philosophy and back to Minecraft

Why not have a Quantity team that lays down more simple base designs of larger general areas and a Quality team that focuses on key landmarks first and then adding detail to the pre built quantity Areas ?

Why not start with making something simple, and then make quality passes over it in spare time? thats how game devs tend to do things. More Iconic buildings should take priority for quality and smaller less significant ones should be focused on getting done as efficiently as possible so potentially later down the line a few more passes can be done on those buildings.

TLDW - There are some people who like to build quality buildings, and some who prefer to output more building faster with less detailed designs. For this project more building is better bcs of the scale. But quality is still nice. So since people have opposing views on things there was anger and arguments, and there are some reports of region leaders telling people to redo their work to a higher standard. Part of the problem is that there is a point value tied to each building, i.e. a boeing warehouse only gets one point like that shed a guy built in 5 seconds. Competition existing and people get salty. This is already too long so k thanks.

Learning more in a minecraft video than in class seems like the rule now

damn I forgot this project existed for a good 6 months

You should give the Mod Distant Horizons a look. It adds LODs to the game, allowing you to get a fluid 128 Chunk render distance, and anlows the game to feel like a connected world instead of Islands with sharp edges

I always forget about this project, then randomly think "what ever happened with that huge Minecraft Earth project?" Then within the next couple days, I see a new video about it uploaded

the difference between you and Napoleon is that you are not Napoleon

This really hit home for me. I got scared off of my solo project which was one of the bigger ones on my server because the team leaders were wanting me to go back and detail everything I had done, probably would’ve taken 150 hours to do.

I would love if Pippen made a entire history documentary.

3:08 - holy s#!T is that a JACOB COLLIER REFERENCE???!!!!

these vids are so needlessly well made, i enjoy it

“Can we just live in Minecraft already” honestly I wouldn’t mind that

Pippen you may not remember me but I was previously a VERY active member in the community several years ago. I was one of the original builder for Brooklyn until MineFact completely threw away our work without ever speaking to us. So to claim quality builders are appreciated when the poster child of BTE, MineFact, was built upon disregarding hundreds of hours of work of individual quality builders instead for automation is genuinely insulting. They could’ve grandfathered in the old builds but they didn’t. Even putting that aside though, there was another MUCH more pressing issue. This inner conflict is NOT from quality vs quantity. I was a vocal member of the suggestions channel as well. I can say with 100% absolute certainty that the issue with BTE was the administration. Admins and Mods taking complete advantage of their positions. And I’m sorry to say but your inattentiveness of the discord server and failure to address these individuals led to a disconnect between the staff and the builders. Banning, kicking, and muting people who they disagreed with, completely breaking the rules they we’re supposed to be upholding, and outright bullying members of the community. Pippen, I forgave you for the abusive staff. There was no way you could’ve known they would do things like that. But the reason that I no longer contribute to this project that I had so actively pushed for and advertised throughout the minecraft community is because you didn’t ever address the issue. I’m sorry but no, the inner conflict was never about builders vs builders. It was about builders vs staff. -Sincerely, someone who used to care very deeply about this project.

Dont listen to the other comments saying how your videos are filled with "fluff" and useless things. I think it adds a whole new depth and quality that makes your videos all the more meaningful. Thanks for the great watch pippenfts

*clicks video* *Pippen starts a philosophical narration/hook that is symbolic of the story in the video* *I click out of the video*

why does this minecraft video begin with the fucking pacific theater

glad to see this incredibly large project is still going strong

Imagine gatekeeping a Minecraft creative server.

I think the quality control needs to accept at least 80% of completed builds instead of removing things because the color is off or has the wrong number of windows

I like how you think man. You see the patterns in behavior and then actually care to figure out why they occur. Not to mention linking the behavior pattern from historic times to modern day, that's pretty cool. I'm not sure if you're just good at researching things or are one of those dudes that know everything about history but it's very unique. It will probably go right over a lot of people's heads because understanding things beyond a yes/no, good/bad level seems to be difficult these days but I appreciate it and I'm sure others do as well.

Keep going bro. You guys are doing something incredible

My thing on the quality v quantity is this. There's a place for both, both have their merits. The argument for quantity in this situation is the sheer number of buildings to make, but there is another argument that is more general. When you see a picture of a build that is a city with low-medium detail, you often will look into the distance and think "oh cool, I wonder how far it goes, how much there is to explore, and I'd like to see all those different buildings up close." On the other hand, when you see one ultra detailed build you often will think it's wonderfully made and really nice, and you'll study the details for a while, but that's all there is. You've seen all it has to offer. Both are good, but in this case lower detail isn't a bad thing, there's plenty to see and a lot of work to do. Not like it stops people from going back at some point and increasing the detail, making things look nicer once a section is done right? Hyper fixating on detail in a build this large can make you lose sight of the bigger picture. edit: a letter

Video Idea: Explore the earth in minecraft in vr

It's not like every building in real life is a beautiful masterpiece, most of them are simple wood and metal structures or giant concrete boxes. You can't really make an argument for making every building nice, especially when building slums and subdivisions.

You guys do awesome work

This doesnt seem like a matter of ego/elitism. From what I gathered from the video, you rewarded people for building 2x4 buildings and then expected the quality builders to be okay with that. There shouldn't have been a reward system in the first place if you didn't want a rift to tear the builders apart. I cannot fathom how anyone would think this is a "Quality builders ego" issue and not a "Poorly planned reward system" issue

3:07 that convinced me quite easily

I'm not sure how much more enticing you could get with telling someone to subscribe (3:07)

3:09 that subscribe choir was holy asf

This might be your best video yet!

I was not expecting this video to start off like that

great video

guess it was like the COVID servers we played... people just moved on

Small caveat: The Battle of Waterloo (and this pains me, since I'm British) was not a must-win battle for the European powers. Had Napoleon completely won Waterloo, killing every single enemy soldier while sustaining no losses, the armies of the remaining powers would still have outnumbered him at least 5 to 1. The fact that disorganisation lost him the battle was largely irrelevant, because he could never have won the war.

Soon Pippen's intros are just gonna be a 30m essay on spartan conflict

Should be using baritone bots for the quantity and the mindless labor and allow the humans to do quality control.

1:58 I had already forgotten this was supposed to be a minecraft video-

3:08 Pippen's secret identity is Bill Wurtz confirmed

i had no idea you went that hard with harmony. subscription earned

at the end of the day bro, quantity in general, is much more valuable than quality of anything. if i had only 1 of the most amazing meal, i'd die. if i had a million of average meals, i will live and eat forever

10/10 harmony moment did not expect that you earned my subscription

Hi, I am going to start building some places, and I have a few questions regarding the mechanics, if you would. I am Sorry if you already answered some of these before, but I really couldn't find information. 1) First, what should I do with natural tiles or tiles with almost nothing to build? Cause I have some small buildings in some wilderness area that I would like to build, especially an archeological ruin near my house that is important to me. I saw that you require us to build at least 2 buildings, so you won't accept it? 2) Is there a time limit on how long can I work on a tile? 3) When getting a tile in a city, do I need to complete each building? If not, when my work is accepted, can other people take the tile or is it locked forever? In your website, when finishing a tile it won't be mine and i could ask for every tile I want to build next in the world, right? 4) I can join only one building team, right? Do they need to accept me? Can I be refused? 5) What happens if a building is in multiple tiles? Can I do only half? I am very keen to join the project, thanks in advance (I might come back with more questions lol) Edit: lol that's the second time I am posting the same post I accidentally posted it on an old video

Thank you for the project and the video Nuno Bettencourt ❤

that subscribe chant was beautiful

the subscribe part is so cool brooo!!

3:08 click on the melodic "subscribe" button !!!

Love this channel

Your videos feel more like documentaries than Minecraft videos.

God I love the choral subscribe songs. Please keep doing those lmao

I saw a video said that you guys are suffer in building China because of the shift coordinate. The maps ppl commonly use in China is Baidu map and Gaode Map (Both no English version), there are 2 city that is both correct in google's mapping and china's mapping is Hong Kong and Macao. So that is where the starting point for building China.

This mans editing skills are INSANE!

Both quality and quantity are great I look at this entire thing with my jaw dropped it’s all very impressive

i love that pippen's videos are basically history lessons pretending to be MC videos 😂

I wanna get Minecraft on my computer just to help man I love this series and I wanna help and even if people tell me my building sucks idc we need to have the courage to move and succeed

Perhaps for future events there should be two winners, one for quality and one for quantity.

3:09 man I love that Smooth McGroove has returned

my guy is making a historical philosophical essay on why his team fucked up a little

The subscribe choir was epic!

THe quality vs quantity is a very long time debate for this project. In my opinion, it comes downt to the given builders skill or preference, which to pick. Important landmarks or famous buildings should take quality into account as much as possible. Challenging areas such as intricate terrain are also under this category. On the othe hand there has to be a barrier below which quality should not go, as it would loose the ability oto recognize what the build is meant to be. And most importantly, quality vs quantity builders should not quarrel over each others preference.

Its like a fine painting you need things that are quantity to give accent to the importanr thing

“Or building the world in Minecraft” makes me laugh everytime 😂😂😂

This thing needs vertical slabs so badly

Bruh pippen channeled his inner Jacob collier asking us to subscribe

I ate a ball of wasabi while watching this. Good experience.

I think if you focused more on organization, and less on inspiration, you'd get a lot more done.

my thought process is: quality is objectively superior to quantity, however quantity is here to give you a better vision of the completed project, like a silhouette and quantity can be turned into quality later on!

Imagine Playing Hardcore Survival On This Map That Would Be Incredible

My stance is that for the average house I would automate the process and have team puts detail while on more important landmarks is where I would put the true effort and quality

I want to see this project succeed.

Pippen should be a motivational speaker

not dropping that queen anne bomb. my childhood home was there lol

What BTE really needs is programmers to make better AI to automate the building process even further. THAT will be the difference between this project being completed in a matter of months, or this project being completed in centuries.

I feel like you should work on a procedural algorithm teaching it the bills style given inputs from public 3d map data like the google earth has ways to scrape its models, I did this for reference in my build of the One.

how do they space out the cities accurately? there are several countries being built at the same time, how will you know everything will fit in between?

bro compared real life wars to minecraft 💀💀

I'm with you on the quantity over quality, just in video games in general. Well, when it comes to map design, I like my big cities big. There's only so much detail you can do really. Sure bigger maps have less detail overall, but the size is more believable, smaller maps might be able to look better and have less copy paste, but they still have copy paste and the size isn't so believable. You're passing by the same details over and over again regardless of map size, in one way or another. I like nice looking games, but I also like big maps. I know that's not really the argument you were making though.

Woah, you just made this video when I got rejected from a build team. Thank you for this.

you triggered my eternal depression after you talked about the loss of napoleon

Wow 3:33 in and still hasn’t said s thing about the point of the video.. i think this guys gone a bit coo coo

This guy in a prehistoric timeline was a general❤❤❤

Now I gotta sub bcuz of the way you asked lmaoo

Love the latest content

someones gotta make geoguessr for this! MineGuessr

It doesn't feel right being this early.

“My first question to you is”: *ad plays* TOOTH DECAY?

Its simple really. Quality is absolutely neccesarry for the larger more impressive buildings, i.e Houses of Parliament or White house etc etc But in order to fill out the world Quanity is vital to finishing neighbourhoods and more repetitive areas of the world

Here in BTE Canada, we are still really active, so if you wanna take a visit, be free to do so ❤

Pippen… I need your help to finish this smoothly.

If I was someone who joined I would want to build near one of these massive monuments All the little monuments

I can't wait to see my own house in minecraft.

This could go to shit but if they were to add a competitive quantity thing to build the earth, like a minigame or tournament, it could also be a really interesting test of skill, and a community that isn't so hard on casuals

I like the rome 1 music at the atart

2min30sec of historical intro hook lmao

16:39 i wonder if thats Panama's skyline, sure looks like it.

SUPER NICE

I started on the server wanted to build my home city in Canada got 3 houses done then felt overwhelmed begin the only one in my area

Hey, I really want to help make your world I love you your videos keep up the good work❤

that intro felt like one of those tiktoks that start out with making food, then just suddenly start talking about some sort of massacre of iraqi trops by the US's hand or some other cold war event.
