Teh Story of Evets - Minecraft Machinima by ShockSand

Anything by Slamacow Creations

Minecraft: The N00b Adventures by falconer02

• Recommended by: Augusto
• status: Complete
• Synopsis: Minecraft: The N00b Adventures is an animated series that narrates the story of three newcomers to a Minecraft server (N00bly,"Snake", and Fart Garfunkel) as they travel through the land, learn a few of the ins and outs of the game, and plot the dowfall of the tyrannical, Ambiguously Gay, Jerkass, and, uh, eccentric Griefer operator of the now-ruined server.
• Note: An Affectionate Parody}} to both Minecraft's online playing community as well as to online gaming in general, Minecraft: The N00b Adventures has a special brand of pseudo-immature, Vulgar Humour that genuenely feels like it was ripped out of a videogame chatbox and rewritten by a competent writer so it won't make you want to gouge your eyes out with a spork. Think of it like a slightly less energetic version of Dick Figures that kind of reminds you of Red vs. Blue from time to time. All in all, it's a really funny, surprisingly well written and surprisingly well animated series that's definitely worth your attention if you've got 28 six-minute episodes worth of time to spare.
• Pairings: None

Minecraft For Noobs (Cartoon) by Alex Crish

• Recommended by: Augusto
• Status: Ongoing, for now.
• Synopsis: A lighthearted, whimsical, and somewhat surreal Affectionate Parody of Minecraft that follows the adventures of Baysa, a cartoon cat who is new to the game and thus is being teached how to play by the unnamed narrator. The series is entirely made by overlaping doodle-ish, hand drawn animation over Minecraft screenshots and has gone through several quality leaps in regard to its art style and animation through the years. Used to be popular on YouTube, but now has fallen into obscurity due to past hiatuses and long run time.
• Note: Oddly enough, though, the Russian dubs uploaded on Alex's second channel seem to be doing a bit better. Only time will tell why...
• Minecraft For Noobs Now has a page on this wiki.
• Pairings: None.

EPIC MINEQUEST by Sam Green

• Recommended by: PAPERBOAT 2001
• Status: Ongoing
• Synopsis: Steve enters the world of Minecraft and meets an unexpected friend...

Annoying Villagers by MrFudgeMonkeyz

• Recommended by: The Gray Shadow
• Status: Ongoing
• Synopsis: What was initially a simple series starring derpy villagers and mobs spirals into a massive war with the players stemming from their apparent sentience. Oh, and Herobrine's here too, in case you thought the situation couldn't get any more insane. It is notable for its growth in animating quality, such as choreography, lighting, sound effects, and visual effects as it progresses.
• Note: Captions are preferable for those who can't make out what some of the characters are saying.
• Pairing(s): None.

The World in Which We Fail by Mellifluousness

• Recommended by: Silverfireneko
• Status: Complete
• Synopsis: Basically? The insane ramblings of a girl playing Minecraft, which eventually spawns a plot. Written by an author with a pen name that's fun to say. Mellifluousness. Go on, say it. You know you want to.
• Pairing(s): none.

"Minecraft: The Awakening by Midnight Vixen and Twilitangel

• Recommended by: Detective Robo Monkey
• Status: Ongoing
• Synopsis: A comic featuring Steve, Herobrine, and original character Mindy. The art is fantabulous, the story(or what we've seen so far) is incredible, and it's completely worth the wait between updates.
• Note: Takes its own sweet time updating, but updates tend to come in pairs and deviantArt's message system doesn't always notify you immediately.
• Pairings: None at all, so far.

Blood, Laughter, and Tears by The Flaming Dark

• Recommended by: Viraldemons
• Vanished from the internet. Please post a link if found.

With a fallen hero ruling the realm, a young man decides to fight back, using the most unlikeliest of allies to help him.
• Pairing(s): OC/Harem

Give Up the Fight by Black Dragon 41

• Recommended by: iamsolarflare
• Status: Dead; last updated November 2014
• Synopsis: A small child named Steve runs into an injured Herobrine and tries to nurse him back to full health, despite abusive parents and Herobrine's unwillingness to heal.
• Pairing(s): None yet, and there probably won't be

My Craft by OnTheCobb

• Recommended by: Stingbeam, E-fitz
• Status: Ongoing.
• Synopsis: Devoid of memory or purpose, a new Crafter is pushed forth into the unforgiving land of Minecraftia. Armed with nothing but his wits, he must…well…actually, he's pretty witless. Hopefully, he won't get killed in the first week. Hopefully.
• Pairings: None.
• Comments: A lighthearted comedy fic (with a plot), with its fair share of moments between seriousness, and laughable scenes. As the synopsis points out, the MC of this fic has NO common sense what so ever during the first couple dozen chapters. The OCs in this fic are fleshed out, and the lore makes sense. One of those fics that stand out. Also helps that the author updates (bi)weekly.
• Now has a trope page here.
