MagmaMusen, formerly known as Magma, is a Danish YouTuber. Their content consists of fact videos and tutorials for the video game Minecraft.
Content[]
Magma creates content for the popular indie 3D sandbox video game Minecraft. These videos are typically tutorials on how to build specific structures in the game. They have made tutorials for many structures, including:
- A tutorial for building a McDonald's in Minecraft
- Building a Starbucks in the game
- A three-video "series" for building a movie theater
- An Apple Store
- A castle tower
They also make tutorials on how to make accessories and decorations Minecraft players can build in their worlds:
- A camping tent.
- An ice cream stand.
- A calendar.
- A security system using the in-game dog.
- Decoration vehicles such as garbage trucks and fire trucks.
- And a working piano.
Unlike other Minecraft YouTubers who make tutorials using the game's "Creative Mode", where players are given access to unlimited building resources, are able to break and build instantly, can almost instantly correct mistakes, and are generally able to build easier, Magma makes their videos in the game's "Survival Mode" where the player has to collect the required resources through exploring potentially dangerous locations such as dark caves where monsters could spawn, although he prepares the building blocks in "Creative Mode"
They also make "Top 10" videos with facts about the game's features and creatures.
Their most popular video is "Minecraft: How to Make a Working TV", which has almost 30.3 million views as of June 2025.
They generally receive positive feedback on all their videos.
Island[]
- Magma almost always does their videos on a little island in-game; occasionally they will make videos somewhere else.
- They have used it since 2011, the year they made their first video, "How to make a fridge"; at the time Minecraft was in its late 'Beta' stage of development
- Over time they have added more and more decorations to the island whenever they reach a milestone
- 1 Million Subscriber Celebration - Addition of a small island next to the main one
- ✔ 4,000,000 Subscriber Island Upgrade - Enlarging the main island by three blocks
- ✔ 5,000,000 Subscriber Celebration - Addition of a cave under the main island with its entrance being underwater
- ✔ 10 Year Anniversary Celebration - Addition of a small "10" build with stone at a background sand hill
- Although announcing a waterfall extension for reaching 1 million Patreon supporters, they quit their Patreon due to "Too many fake payments."[1]
Trivia[]
- Magma has a strong dislike for the in-game chickens, this is because a group of chickens blew up their house in a video titled "10 Things You Didn't Know About The Chicken".
- Magma refuses to reveal their gender; in many videos, fans argue in the comments section over a pigs gender.
- Magma revealed their voice on March 12, 2022 when showing How to Make an Axolotl House in Minecraft.
- Once they showed a clip of Eddy Wally (AKA The Wow Guy) saying his signature "WOW!" line, as a response for the face reveal requests.
- They often use music from the video game Undertale or the main composer of Minecraft: C418 as background music for their videos.
- Their video thumbnails often contain yellow arrows or lines which often show an impossible build, like a flexing chain at a giant bell
- Magma's logo/avatar is a Minecraft pig in a suit
- They often have temporary 'phases', particularly early in their channel. These 'phases' start and end with no prior warning:
- For a brief period, they began their videos by calling their viewers "Piglets"; specifically "my Piglets!".
- Almost every Friday they used to upload "Pixel Art Fridays" videos, where they would build pixel art of various fictional characters and other things in-game; this was discontinued without any warning. This period was also the only time they have ever used the game's "Creative Mode".
- For a period of time, Magma ended their videos with a trivia question; whoever answered the question correctly (and was the last one to do so) would get their username featured in the next video.
- Their Facebook page, which was used to inform viewers who decided to follow the Facebook page of the latest video is no longer being updated
- They used to end their videos with footage of the in-game ender chest; under the ender chest was a question or some text. Nowadays it shows brief moments of their other videos
- Nowadays, they end their videos by giving a hint as to which of the facts mentioned in the video was fake.
- Magma had an in-game pet rabbit named Kebab. The last video Kebab was in was the things you did not know about ghasts.
- Magma used to play table tennis. They say "Fun fact, I used to play table tennis!" in the video titled "✔ 10 Easy Build Hacks for Fun in Minecraft".[2]
