A term for Western Minecraft video content on platforms such as YouTube and Twitch.tv, especially those surrounding survival multiplayer servers (SMPs) and the communities that develop from them. Some creators stream themselves acting out elaborate live-action role-playing scenarios in SMPs, which inspire artists to draw fanart of the characters they play. This tag includes both art of the streamers and art of the Minecraft servers they stream on.
The term is applied more on a cultural level than on a literal level - YouTubers that play Minecraft once often aren't considered to fall into this category as they do not have wider connections to the scene as a whole, which is largely collaborative and overlaps often.
Please note that the real life copytag should only be used for posts actually depicting content creators in real life and not their personas or in-game characters. Additionally, Minecraft should not be tagged unless elements from the game are present (such as scenery, locations, items, species, etc).
Western Minecraft creators are particularly popular on the Chinese internet, where videos are often reprinted with subtitles. Netizens make a distinction between these creators (MCYT) and domestic creators (MCUP).
