Willcraft

Willcraft Animations, or just Willcraft (formerly Diedie15), was a Swedish YouTuber that specialized in using a Minecraft-based animation program called Mine-imator. He was probably most well-known for creating the series Monster School, which are animations that involve Minecraft mobs attending classes with Herobrine (from the creepypasta) as the teacher. Although only 13 episodes of this series were made, and he stopped after the Episode Bus Trip in March 2015. He quit Monster School a year later because of wanting to move his channel away from Minecraft content to better standout and he was getting tired of it. 
Aside from that, Willcraft has also created other series such as Endventures which would be cancelled after the 12th episode, other Minecraft videos, and commentaries. He is also a game developer who is currently working on a game called Exit the Intraverse, but it is on hold at the moment.
==History ==
Willcraft's channel was created in April 2011, it would make it's first upload on September 6th, 2012 with a video titled The Endermaster Preview - Minecraft Animation, he would eventually start uploading the first episodes of his Endventures series before taking a break and then introducing Monster School. 
Eventually Willcraft would gather a lot of sucess on youtube with Monster School throughout 2013-2014. By the end of 2014 though, Willcraft was starting to become uninterested in his Minecraft content and wanted to begin moving away from it (specifically Monster School). He would upload his last Monster School video in March 2015, his last full Endventures episode in July 2015, and he would upload his last normal Minecraft animation video in October 2015. 
From that point, Willcraft would try and make new content like commentaries, reviews, and general updates on his mental health. He would also make some games, one dice game he would post online in early 2017, and he would make more advanced projects down the line. 
Most of Willcraft's early videos would be unlisted in later years including his earliest videos because he wasn't proud of them anymore. He would however create a playlist for all them on September 20th, 2018.
On June 30, 2021, Willcraft announced that he will be leaving the platform, believing that there was nothing left for him to do as he spent the last few years trying to start over as a new youtuber and moving away from Minecraft content. His video explains much more clearly why he left so it's recommended to watch it.
He uploaded his final video on how his series, Minecraft Endventures would have ended on July 2, 2021. Which he narrated out the rest of Endventure's story and also showcased what work he did on the cancelled Episode 13.
== YouTube Taking Down his content ==
Willcraft Broke his 2 year silence on YouTube by talking about how YouTube is taking down his monster school content. He later said that YouTube stopped taking down his videos but then he edited it by saying YouTube went back to taking down his content 
==Personal life ==
Not much is known about Willcraft's personal life on Youtube, except he revealed to be Swedish in a Q&A video. 
He revealed that he is diagnosed with depression and would go on live to update on the platform. He did live streams occasionally and depression updates which do share some insight on how his life goes.
He has said, he generally never felt proud of his accomplishments on YouTube and considers that career to be lackluster and an amateurish series of teenage mistakes, not worthy of much recognition. 
A quote from him on his discord server, being part of his final public message as the server closed down:
"I have at no point been able to enjoy my success. I have never felt successful, or popular, or even competent. Even as the numbers kept going up, that did nothing to change my perception of myself as a kid dicking around on his laptop and getting undeserved praise for it. I have never compared myself to youtubers I watch and thought myself their equal. I am hoping that starting over with something new will allow me to produce things I can look at and think "Yeah, this deserves the positive attention it's getting". Because for years now, I have been in the strange position of dismissing my own audience as having poor taste for liking what I do. If that isn't going against your own interests, I don't know what is."
