== Content ==
=== World Flag Map in Minecraft ===
The first ever series, and only series for 1.5 years was World Flag Map in Minecraft, in which he builds a world flag map (a map with a countries flag overlaid on to said country.) He frequently updates his viewers with building and showcases of various areas of the world (e.g. Southeast Asia). He has currently finished building every country, however has not completed Antarctica.
=== World Flag Map Tutorial ===
His 2nd series he started is the World Flag Map Tutorial, which is a tutorial series of the previously mentioned Pixel Art World Flag Map. As of September 24, 42 tutorials have been released. The first tutorial and also the most viewed tutoral is the United Kingdom episode.
=== Minecraft US States Flag Map ===
His 3rd series, he started just 10 days after the World Flag Map Tutorial, is the Minecraft US States Flag Map, which as of May 11th, has 2 installments. This series is very much alike to the World Flag Map series as it is once again, a timelapse video of building states. However, this time he has used the addition of a Minecraft mod known as Replay Mod which allows him to get a 3rd person view of building the states, providing for a much better view and viewer enjoyment. The first state he built was Rhode Island.
=== Huge Scale World Flag Map ===
His 4th series, Huge Scale World Flag Map, is a mixture between his World Flag Map in Minecraft series and his Minecraft US States Flag Map, in which he builds a World Flag Map in Minecraft, however he utilizes the Replay Mod, like in the US States series, and WorldEdit Mod to assist him as the new scale is approximately 2 times bigger than the original.
== History ==
=== Early Beginnings ===
MC Atlas started his channel on August 27, 2021, uploading his first video 1 hour later. His Channel would be inactive for almost a month until starting to upload regularly in late-September, and uploading more frequently in mid-December. His first video, Minecraft Europe Flag Map Pixel Art, wasn't very successful at first, and was stagnant at 7 views early in its life, but 3 weeks later the video got some attention and hit 50 views when MC Atlas uploaded his second video. The video continued to outperform every other video he has uploaded until April. On December 22nd the video hit 1,000 views, and on January 2nd the video hit 2,000 views.
On January 9, 2022, Atlas' channel reached 10,000 Video Views. At this time his channel had 58 subscribers and his most popular videos were about Europe, The Middle East, China, Southeast Asia, and Kazakhstan.
=== 100 Subscribers ===
On January 19th 2022, Atlas uploaded a video about Building Central African Countries. Despite the region having the most irrelevant countries in Africa, the video gained over 1,000 views in 24 hours, making it the fastest growing video MC Atlas had ever uploaded and automatically the 3rd most viewed video of his, this pushed his channel way past the 100 subscriber mark.
On March 20th 2022, Atlas hit 50,000 video views. At this time his channel had 258 subscribers and his most viewed videos were about Europe, 2021 Review, the Middle East, and Central Africa all clocking in at over 2,000 views.
On February 24th 2022, MC Atlas would upload Part 2 of a miniseries within the already existing series of building the world called "Building Southern Africa." His next upload wouldn't come till April 6th. This would start an unfortunate trend of taking multiple weeks if not, months of hiatuses due to a variety of reasons including, exam studying, motivation loss, or simply due to the country being too big to build in a matter of days. This trend has stopped for the most part, however has seen signs of continuing.
On April 1st 2022, the video, 'Minecraft World Flag Map 2021 Review (114 Countries) overtook Minecraft Europe Flag Map Pixel Art to become the most viewed video on his channel. This was quite impressive as the next most viewed video had only 3,000 views, and it had achieved the title in 89 days of its upload date. However, in October 26th, Minecraft World Flag Map 2021 Review (114 Countries) took back the crown for the most viewed video after 6 months of being very close behind.
On June 17th 2022, Atlas Reached 100,000 Video Views. At this time his channel has 387 subscribers.
On February 7th 2023, MC Atlas uploaded Updating Martinique & Honduras - Minecraft World Flag Map.
