Interestingly, the most popular genre of Minecraft content is a relatively new trend called “100 Days.” These challenges involve gamers facing challenges, completing goals, or trying to simply survive for 100 in game Minecraft days.
The most consistently popular genre of Minecraft content has been animation. Minecraft animations are huge, bringing in millions of views on parody songs, skits and even movie recreations. Sometimes these parody songs are so popular, they manage to hit views in the ballpark of the originals. “TNT” by CaptainSparklez, a parody of “Dynamite” by Taio Cruz, has more views than the song’s official UK version.
