History Trivia / YogscastMinecraftSeries

* SeriesHiatus: The Shadow of Israphel. When the series seemed to abruptly stop putting out new episodes in the middle of season three, there were/was/is lots of speculation that it had become an OrphanedSeries. Lewis has said that it simply can't be continued at the moment because of real life constraints, failed attempts to relaunch it and some of the original crew not being around any more (not that it stopped complaining about SOI's hiatus or speculation he was lying). Every once in awhile they throw in a ShoutOut in some of their other series alluding to/joking about SOI taking so long/being constantly delayed.

** Around January 2014, all the parody music videos on all channels were made private owing to [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement copyright]]. Mirror uploads are still available, but their quality is mostly inferior and the majority are hour-long versions, "nightcore" and so on. Most have since been re-uploaded.

** If the Twitter pages for Sparkles* and Sjin are any indication, there are a long list of parodies that will never see the light of day due to the whole [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement copyright issue]]. Among these was a parody of a song from ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' that Sjin really wanted to do. On the plus side, the copyright thing at least led to "[=MoonQuest=]", "Diggy Diggy Hole" and many other original songs.

** It was ultimately inevitable considered the copious amounts of FanDumb, but from June 15th 2013, the comments section on the main channel, and later Rythian's, was shut off. Old videos don't seem to have been affected however. As of the end of August 2013, the comments were re-enabled.

* RealLife/MeanCharacterNiceActor: It is important to note the difference between the Yogscast members themselves and the characters they play in the Tekkit series. Whilst they are to some extent playing [[AsHimself As Themselves]], there are some major changes made in order to facilitate the story. For example, there is no fierce rivalry between any members of the Yogscast. They're all friends with each other, and any "rivalries" are lighthearted and entirely for fun (or in Rythian's series, as part of his Tekkit story).

* HeyItsThatVoice:
** Fans of Music/{{Area 11}} will recognise Sparkles* as the narrator for parts of the ''Jaffa Factory'' series.
** Angor plays Skobbels and provides his deep, bombastic voice.

* CreatorBacklash: None of the people who worked on the Jaffa Factory series are really fond of the bee breeding and power supply part of it. In part 7 of [=MoonQuest=], Simon explicitly says that once the Jaffa Cakes started being shipped onto the truck, the series after that got "really boring". They've said that if they can find a way to breathe life back into the series and freshen it up, they will, but tell us not to hold our breath. [[spoiler:They go back to the factory in Episode 96 of Moonquest]].

* ArtistDisillusionment: Lewis has said that he's ''really'' tired of people badgering him about "Shadow of Israphel", and that it actually demotivates him.

* {{Jossed}}: Rythian's status as a possible Enderman/human hybrid has been declared "[[http://rythian.tumblr.com/post/57981146997/wait-i-dont-really-follow-your-minecraft-series-as not canon]]" by Rythian. Rythian himself has said that [[http://rythian.tumblr.com/post/57975236093/water-hurts-endermen-if-rythian-is-hurt-by-enderbane the Enderbane sword stinging him doesn't mean that he himself is an Enderman]], and why it does ''that'' "[[http://rythian.tumblr.com/post/57989827340/sorry-for-continuing-the-question-trail-but-if-rythian would be spoiling things]]". In a follow-up question, Rythian acknowledged the word "Enderborn" used in several places by simply saying [[http://rythian.tumblr.com/post/57990999975/i-know-im-late-to-the-party-and-flogging-a-dead-horse "Enderborn" was the "Our Blackrock Story Carries On" lyric, not "Enderman"]].

* WordOfGay: Inverted. Zoey is a lesbian in RealLife, but her ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' persona, in a manner similar to Sulu from ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'', has an interest in the male Rythian in ''The Blackrock Chronicles''.
** She has since created another version of her Minecraft character whose love interest is her irl girlfriend Fiona, and explained it away as a parallel dimensions/universes thingy.

* WriterInducedFanon: Strife's past is so strongly hinted at that fans developed plenty of theories about it. Some of which made it into actual canon.

* ColbertBump: After Simon gave a shout out to a man on Twitter named #1 Bird Dad, said Twitter user gained thousands of new followers.

** It was ultimately inevitable considered the copious amounts of FanDumb, but as of June 15th 2013, the comments section on the main channel have been shut off. Old videos don't seem to have been affected however. As of the end of August, they seem to have come back.
** Though, ironically the FanDumb itself wasn't really to blame, apparently the final straw was people impersonating the Blue Xephos channel flag to steal people's personal information.

* NamesTheSame: Lalna shares his real name with a certain director, a Mr Creator/DuncanJones, the director of the films ''Film/{{Moon}}'' and ''Film/SourceCode''.

* MissingEpisode: Yog-Olympics, an Olympics map created by [=DaveChaos=] and gar, was taken down [[http://www.reddit.com/r/Yogscast/comments/1g5zp9/what_happened_to_yogolympics/cah396g because it infringed on the Youth Olympics' trademark]].

** Sips is taking a break from Minecraft as he's gotten slightly tired of it. He may come back to it eventually, but is telling us not to hold our breath.
