SuperT

Tiernan DeFranco (born: ), better known online as SuperT, is an American Youtuber who previously made Minecraft Maps with the first few videos on his channel being walkthroughs and tutorials for people who needed help with completing them. With the resurgance of Minecraft content on youtube in 2019, he and his friend Charlie started to make semi-daily Hypixel Bedwars content in fall 2019 which brought his subscribers from 939 on August 6th, 2019, to finally hitting 1,000 subscribers on September 17th, 2019. Which was the fastest subscriber growth he's ever seen on his channel in such a short time from "bad" content of "nonsense daily bedwars".
In summer 2020, he saw the success that Dream had with doing Minecraft challenges to beat the game in strange ways and released Minecraft, But With Motion Controls where he used the Ring-Fit Adventure controller and leg strap to control Minecraft and attempted to beat the game. The video got 350 views in the first 24 hours and currently sits at 1.5K views. One of his most successful Minecraft videos apart from his Minecraft Map walkthroughs.
While being unable to top his previous "Minecraft, But" video, he saw the rising popularity of the content and used his Minecraft command knoweledge to release Beating Minecraft With Scuffed Magic, a more on-brand video for "Minecraft, But" challenges, on Nov 8, 2020 where he made a custom datapack that introduced 3 magic spells and wands (tnt wand, fire wand, lightning wand). He called it scuffed because of the lack of testing meant that the cooldown counter started counting negativley and the overall uselessness of the fire and lightning wands. 
A week later, on Nov 13, 2020, he uploaded one of the group's favorite videos Minecraft, But The Blocks Disappear Under Us! where he made a datapack that removed the block directly beneath every player's feet every second or so. Ultimatley, it ended up taking about 3 hours to complete the game WITH the ability to keep items in inventory everytime they died. The video got 134 views in the first 24 hours of its release, crushing the usual view count in that period (10-80 views) by 50 views. Currently the video has 480 views which was way more than the group ever realistically expected.
However, this stream of this type content quickly ended with the upload of Minecraft, But One Player Controls The Movement on Nov 20, 2020. While still remaining weekly, future content consisted of bedwars, either with Charlie, or on his own. The lack of interesting ideas led to the same bedwars repetitive content that ultimately didn't perform well and demotivated the group to not make any more videos. 
The regular scheduled videos stopped with the release of I Played Super Mario Odyssey With A Keyboard & Mouse on Dec 23, 2020, which was the same type of content as Minecraft, But With Motion Controls, but applying the reverse method of using a keyboard and mouse to control a controller-based game.
Still being a "conduit of chaos and an erratic enigma", SuperT had many different ideas and challenges to play Minecraft in weird ways, and he released Can You Beat Minecraft In A Crimson Forest Overworld? on Feb 17, 2021. Where the description states, "Although probably not intended, you are able to spawn a world that is entirely Crimson Forest in the overworld." You could previously do this by creating a Single Biome world, however doing so in newer versions just spawns a grass world with the "crimson forest haze" with changes to world generation since the video was published. 
While still having no schedule it was clear that he had ideas flowing in his head about how to play Minecraft in unintended ways, but no video would surprise viewers as much as the March 31, 2021 upload: How I Played Minecraft With A Bike in the video, he shows the process of turning his bicycle into a stationary bike by building a wooden mount to hold up the back wheel, as well as taping a Nintendo Joy-Con to the wheel to track when it was spinning, translating that into movement and the steering of handle bars into mouse movement. 
He would go on to not release another interesting way to play Minecraft until about a year after his crimson forest video, coincedntally releasing the sequel: Can You Beat Minecraft in a Warped Forest Overworld? on Feb 18, 2022. However, he wouldn't release another video until August 5th, 2022, BUT! He would go on to release Minecraft, But The Blocks Break Under You on August 13th, promising new videos every single Friday.
Having graduated high school and deciding not to attend college for the time being, he can be fully committing to thinking of, developing, and creating custom datapacks. Gathering his friends to record the videos, and meticulously editing them down to subtitling every word spoken with color coding to match who is speaking.
