BlazeFire

BlazeFire, or simply Blaze, is a Youtuber who uploads Mineplex and Minecraft skit content. Blaze's channel gained a small bit of traction in mid-late 2021 and onward for his Minecraft and Mineplex videos. He started uploading Minecraft skit/meme content in late 2022, which would become his focus.
== History/Experience ==
BlazeFire has been playing Minecraft since 2013 [1] and has been part of the Mineplex community since late 2015. Blaze claims that his YouTube channel was "born as an extension of his high school graduation project." He became a notorious user on the Mineplex forums, eventually obtaining the "Well-Known User" rank. He would often discuss current server happenings on there, such as its impending collapse.
After his first video (I Beat Minecraft Without Clicking) on the day he created his channel, Blaze posted a series of a few dozen daily Minecraft meme clips, attempting to join in on a trend at the time. But after they failed to garner any attention, he ended it and privated all of them.
Following the disappointment of his original Meme Stream, with virtually no one else making tutorials on the Mineplex holiday events anymore, Blaze decided to take up the mantle starting in December 2021.
To celebrate hitting 1,000 subscribers, as well as his six-year history with the Mineplex server and their shared communities, Blaze made a retrospective collab video in April 2022 that became his most viewed upload up to that point. It featured screenshots and clips from nearly two dozen server veterans to the tune of "Bring the Good Times Back", a song from the 1968 Rankin/Bass Thanksgiving special The Mouse on The Mayflower that surprisingly cannot be found anywhere else on the site.
Blaze got a big break that summer when he restarted the Meme Stream, this time in the form of daily Shorts, including reworked versions of his older meme uploads and funny moments from his survival/hardcore playthroughs. They proved to be far more potent than before, with some of the early ones achieving view counts in the tens of thousands. He continues to do them to this day, with every fifty Shorts being considered a "season." He also has a few recurring skits within the Meme Stream, namely;
-"Suicidal Mob Saturday," where every Short uploaded on a Saturday features a mob accidentally blowing itself up.
-"Awful Minecraft World Templates," where he spawns in a superflat world with highly dangerous custom terrain. (All use Kevin MacLeod "If I Had a Chicken" as background music.)
-"Mob Launch," where he puts a large number of mobs of a certain type into a TNT cannon and sends them all flying. (All use a snippet of "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen as background music.)
-"Dead on Arrival," where he spawns in a village where the villagers instantly plummet to their death. It was a follow-up to his most successful Short. (All use Mario and Luigi Dream Team's "Panic Pit" as background music.)
-"Mob Vote," where he touches on the nominees and the result of each mob vote in October.
-"EARRAPE!!!," where he voluntarily tortures the eardrums of his audience with some of Minecraft's most annoying sound effects played at full blast.
-"Uh-oh Counts." where he showcases every instance of his most commonly used sound effect from seasons past. (All use Pimpnite's blooper music (real name unknown) as background music.)
-"Meteor Ram!," where he performs the attack of the same name that he came up with against various mobs.
-"Hardcore/Survival Funny Moments," which isn't an acted out series, but rather slightly edited clips of humorous segments from his Minecraft playthroughs.
