History[]
Twitch Career[]
He has been streaming on Twitch for around two years and became a partner in 2020, surpassing one million Twitch followers on November 21, 2020.
Old Channel[]
He started doing YouTube in 2017 under the name "Blue Turtle". On that channel, he did FTB Let's Plays and Modded Minecraft Wars videos with friends such as Mason aka Indonimous but stopped in October 2017. He also went with the names "SuperManPower500", "Spectrum_XP" and "OrphicTubbo" before going to just Tubbo.[15]
SMPs[]
SMPEarth[]
Later on, he joined SMPEarth, a large Minecraft survival multiplayer server, which shut down in April 2020. He is infamous for being the only person on SMPEarth to be killed by a player who was AFK (VoiceoverPete).
Dream SMP[]
Tubbo has now joined the Dream SMP, and (very) frequently plays on there to this day. He was a member of L'Manberg (formerly known as Manberg). Jschlatt kicked TommyInnit and Wilbur Soot out of the nation when he became president, but Tubbo stayed there to work under Jschlatt. During this time, he was actually a spy for Pogtopia, a nation formed by Wilbur Soot and TommyInnit, but had his cover blown by JschlattLIVE and was killed in front of a crowd in the Manberg Festival. After that he became an official member of Pogtopia.
Pogtopia reclaimed Manberg after a great war between the two nations and Manberg was once again renamed to L'Manberg. Tubbo was named the new President by Wilbur Soot (the former president) after TommyInnit (the now Vice President) rejected Wilbur's promotion. Tubbo is currently working as president to rebuild L'Manberg and make it a prosperous nation once again after Wilbur blew it up shortly after the events of the war.
He also has multiple "alter egos" while roleplaying on the Dream SMP server; these include Tubbox, Tubboat, Big Crime, Big Law, Tubo, and Toob.
OTV SMP[]
Tubbo is also a member of the Offline TV SMP which is a SMP made exclusively for Offline TV Members and their Friends. Tommy is also whitelisted on the SMP but both of them are not active on the SMP as they are more focused on the Dream SMP. Both of them are members from Season 1.
BearSMP[]
- Main article: BearSMP
In July 2021, Tubbo joined the BearSMP (abbrevriated as BSMP) and frequently collaborates with Aimsey and Billzo. The three became known collectively as the Underscore Trio (coined by Aimsey) after their meetup, 2 days before MCC18. He also collaborates with Beautie_ and Snifferish. The server was discontinued on December 24, 2021.
The server became well known by the MCYT community by the theory that "BSMP Tubbo" is the future of "DSMP Tubbo" after the Dream SMP finished and right after Ranboo died on the server. Nihachu is also involved with the SMP, but plays a different role than Tubbo as she plays the same role as her DSMP character. Tubbo is a ghost on the server, having been dubbed by the community as "Beep".
Origins SMP[]
Origins SMP is a server with the Origins mod, which allows players to select an "origin", giving them powers and weaknesses based on a Minecraft mob. The server recently started up again for Season 2, and they are playing on a 1.18 experimental snapshot with the new Caves and Cliffs world generation. Tubbo has chosen the bee origin, allowing him to fly around slowly and poison others, but at the expense of lower health and only being able to eat flowers.[16]
TommyInnit[]
Tubbo is good friends with TommyInnit, another YouTuber and streamer who produces similar content and is about the same age as him, although, contrarily to popular belief, Tubbo is older than Tommy by 4 months. The pair became friends when they were both small Twitch streamers when Tommy raided Tubbo's stream. This was before either of them started their YouTube careers under their currently known names.
Tubbo is frequently seen in videos on Tommy's YouTube channel. The most recognizable videos are where they explore hacked clients. They also record on servers such as Wynncraft and TheArchon where Tubbo shared his knowledge of servers.
In videos, TommyInnit mocks Tubbo due to his interest and knowledge of hacked clients and Minecraft servers.
Ranboo[]
In 2020-2022, Tubbo was good friends with Ranboo, a YouTuber and streamer who was also on the Dream SMP. The two quickly became close friends and Ranboo began planning to fly over to the UK to meet up with Tubbo. On June 26, 2021, Ranboo flew to the UK and appeared in Tubbo's stream later that same day. He stayed at Tubbo's house for 5 months until November 5, 2021 when he returned to the US.
Music[]
An avid musician, Tubbo plays piano, ukulele, melodica, steel pan and is currently learning guitar and saxophone. He has collaborated with CG5 and Dan Bull on an original song called Life By The Sea, which released on August 27, 2021 at 5pm BST.
Trip to the United States[]
Tubbo has confirmed on his stream on the day after Ranboo left the UK that he will go to the United States soon to visit other content creators. He has also confirmed that he will go to California.[17][18]
On November 12, 2021, he had his trip to America and resided in Los Angeles, California with Aimsey, Saladserns, Billzo, Ranboo, Badlinu and Cuptoast for a few weeks. He has also uploaded a Vlog in America that was recorded few hours before MCC All-Stars and also the day him, Eret, Crumb and Kara met up.
A few days before his charity stream, he met up with 100 Thieves and Pokimane at the 100 Thieves Compound in Los Angeles.
On December 1, 2021, Tubbo and some of his content creator-friends flew to Miami, Florida via a private jet and met up with Snifferish. He also met up with Sapnap, Karl and Punz while they were in Florida. Tubbo and Bill left America on December 13, 2021, while Aimsey and Saladserns left America the next day.
During his trip, he met up with CaptainSparklez, Quackity, Cuptoast, Bella Poarch, LARRAY, Pokimane, Karl, Punz, Sapnap, Kara Corvus, 5up, Eret, ElainaExe, SeaPeeKay and Snifferish.
Tubbo returned to America on February 8, 2022 for Twitch Rivals.[19] After Twitch Rivals, he hung out with TapL, Eret and other creators. He also watched the Super Bowl with Surfnboy, Ranboo and 5up on February 16th and left America on February 18th.
Charity stream[]
On November 20, 2021, Tubbo announced on his main Twitter that he would be doing a live IRL Hunter vs Runner Tag Charity Stream for St. Jude with his friends. It took place on November 24, 2021 and raised $144,000.
Minecraft Bedrock Edition[]
On January 27, 2022, he played the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft for the first time on-stream after him and his friends reacted to PotatoPie25's video about Pixel Paradise, and has talked about how bad the server is. Potato and Tar1a later joined his Twitch chat and talked with him for a few hours. Splodger also joined the chat to convince him to play The Hive.
After playing Pixel Paradise for a while and checking out its game modes, he joined the Hive Games server and was welcomed by the Community manager of the server, Splodger, and some of the partners of the server including DannyIsDahBomb, Deezee, and ItzElleMC. He also got the Streamer rank, and soon after the EU Region spiked a lot of concurrent players welcoming Tubbo to the Hive Partners.
Subathon aka Tubbathon[]
On February 20, 2022, Tubbo announced that he would be doing an uncapped Subathon (dubbed by himself as Tubbathon) on March 1. It lasted 9 days, finally ending on March 9.
The second Tubbathon was uncapped, and it started on March 1. It lasted 27 days, finally ending on March 27.
The third Tubbathon had a cap of 90 days. It started on March 1, lasting 64 days. It ended on May 4.
Tubbathon was mostly content of Modcasts from his Twitch mods while he is asleep, as well as having guests on his streams such as Spideyarmy (for the Modcasts), Aimsey, Highkeyhateme, MaxGGs, Bekyamon and OwengeJuiceTV.
All Tubbathons start on March 1, because March 1, 2021 was the stream Tubbo had the most views and subs on.

Around mid-2020, Tubbo released an anarchy/2B2T server called POGGOP (poggop.org). The project was soon abandoned due to development issues and lag problems.

MC Championship[]
MC Championship is a Minecraft Tournament for YouTubers and streamers run by the Noxcrew, in which 10 teams of four compete in a series of 8 minigames decided by the participants. A point multiplier makes each game worth more as each round passes, incentivizing teams to vote for games they might be bad at early on in the event. In the end, the two teams with the most points face off in a round of ‘Dodgebolt’ to decide the winner of the tournament. This makes it possible for a team to win despite potentially having fewer points than the runner-up.
