Minecraft is far and above the most-watched game on YouTube, and the number of watchers and creators providing content is only increasing.

As 2022 has proceeded, the number of Minecraft content creators has remained more or less the same. The most popular channels are still doing quite well, and those in the lower rankings are still carving out their own identities. Furthermore, new creators have also been rising up the ranks to boot.

The YouTube environment for Minecraft creators is constantly changing, and there are always channels to watch as alternatives if certain players don't mind a particular creator or channel. Regardless, many great content creators are worth a look at if players haven't done so already.
