Minecraft is known for completing modded Super Mario Odyssey and Pokémon challenges. In addition, he is also a well known Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Super Mario 64 and Minecraft (the game) speedrunner. He also plays other games and challenges after achieving Twitch sub goals. The challenges Minecraft does are out of the ordinary and have a crazy difficulty to them. A few examples of this include: "Mario Odyssey but the Floor is Lava" and "Pokémon Platinum Without Damage".
In his earlier YouTube days, Minecraft was known to make speedrunning tutorials for Super Mario Odyssey and how-to videos for the speedrunning time tracking software, LiveSplit.
He is also part of a Twitch team called "Ant Colony", with other streamers such as Linkus7 and Cjya.

On April 15, 2020, Minecraft continued his stream of Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver - a challenge run where he visited zero Pokémon Centers, and only healed via NPCs when it was absolutely mandated by the game. Minecraft started the stream with around 6,700 subs. Multiple people donated over 100 subscribers, many people donated over 50 subscribers, and hundreds of individuals gave what they could, propelling Minecraft from 6,700 subs to an 9,000 subs in mere hours. Minecraft had promised for over a year that if he ever got to 9,000 subs, he would donate a 1,000 subs, and he had done so once hit.
