Minecracker officially became Minecracker Entertainment on May 11, 2020,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikw20rPoeTA which also included the creation of the Minecracker Entertainment Sphere, which integrated all of Joshua and Michael's channels under one entertainment entity. 
While Michael had been on the platform since 2013, the first Minecracker branded channel, named The Minecraker 101, was created April 5, 2015. The channel was abandoned early on to facilitate the creation of a more polished brand and the second Minecracker channel was created on December 29, 2015. This account was terminated for an undisclosed reason November 21, 2019.https://www.youtube.com/live/YBP-3iNyp-0 The current Minecracker channel was created November 22, 2019, as starbucksiswrong.
The channel is known today as primarily an animation channel, with his meme and Five Nights at Freddy's animations topping the channel metrics. The channel stands at over 2,000 subscribers but has been stagnant since 2022, falling from 2,120 at its peak. Joshua has recently been making efforts to change the channel's trajectory, announcing a reboot of the cancelled FNaF RP series.
==History==

====Early Minecracker content====
The first video posted to The Minecraker 101 was "Lego starwars mini shuttle review" on May 13, 2015.

The most notable video of the period is "Michael hates Mojang and apple" which was posted May 15, 2015 and is the first video to feature Joshua and Michael working on a video together. This video also sets the precedent of Joshua taking the role of the cameraman for most videos involving Michael.
Joshua was using his neighbors wifi to upload his videos, so he was unable to upload at all after his neighbor had moved out. Following the end of the summer, the channel would go dormant and would never be uploaded to again. He would move in the winter of 2015 and gain access to the internet once more. On December 29, 2015, the Minecracker 101 channel would be created, correcting the spelling of the previous channel name.
