It is twofold, first of all it brings in lots of viewers who, being largely kids, don't bring in that much cash but make your stream more popular.
It also lets chuubas be creative and build cute things

Easy to make new content for hundreds of streams (there are plenty other kind of "infinite" games but this is more popular and feels less repetitive somehow for many), just need to grind a bit and the fans will just provide you the blueprints and the general backseat stuff.
Also there's a good part of the audience (at least in Hololive) which are super minecraft fans and will almost exclusively watch these streams. If you take a look, there's always a good buff for whoever starts doing a minecraft streams almost always.

I'm not a gamer and I watch it for the girls, but I started to avoid all minecraft streams. It somehow dulls my senses. It's a really dull game. As is Apex. Oddly enough I don't mind kusoge at all, kusoge is often fun precisely because it's kusoge. But minecraft is just dull to me and Apex is soulless.

It's a very simple and easy way to provide visual stimulation while talking to the viewers while still being able to talk about whatever you want as the game doesn't require any real thought or attention to play. And if you run out of things to say, you can fall back on narrating your construction plans until you can think of a new thing to say. Minecraft is also very effective at attracting younger audiences who are more likely to buy merchandise. Minecraft streams are a win/win/win situation for the streamer.

>> No.7307952

Minecraft really is perfect for streams. Unlimited content with whatever they feel like doing and the way its a shared world that everyone can build on in the company makes it draw people in. The best streams have been MC collabs like the tunnel dig the Christmas tree decorating stream and the Summer festival that all meant that much more than just playing BPM or Amnesia on their own

>> No.7309008

>>7294153
low-focus-required content that allows having a chat stream while being able to do something more than stare blankly at the screen. likewise it enables spontanous collaborations should multiple chuubas on a server happen to stream at the same time.
it also helps that most of these chuuba-use servers aren't being managed by people who think they can make the content more compelling by forcing everyone to start over repeatedly... ain't that right, guude. you stupid faggot.
>>7299506
someone hasn't paid attention to terraria since beta, I see.
the real issue with trying to use terraria that way is that it's design is pointed more at "game" than "block toy", requiring more focus, and due to the limits of map size there's only so much that can be done without having to keep making new maps.

And you'd have to make resource worlds which don't allow communication between worlds like how the JP Resource Servers due to the Realm system allows them to still talk to those who are on the main Server resulting in things like Botan's rescue mission.

These exist because the main JP map uses large biomes, limiting their access to other biomes on the same map.

I feel wierd about minecraft streams. I should like them - I enjoy chuubas, and minecraft is among my favorite games, but they always put me off. I think it's because I see them playing a game I love and having more fun than I find myself able to when playing it nowadays. I've played the game too long I think, after a decade my pervasive autism has rendered it difficult to enjoy like I used to. Meanwhile they can just dick around and relax with people without worrying about it. It's cool seeing them enjoy it, I wish I could get out of my head and play like that too

I personally despise minecraft as a videogame, and don't really see it as such instead of an overglorified game engine. However, it's a fantastic view generator and popularity booster for streamers, so they'll do that forever.

I'm not going to say gmod is dead (hate that term), but it is a game that is increasingly clunky from a technical standpoint, generally dated and dispiriting aesthetically (with some impressive exceptions in maps/modes), and really only caters to a few niche modes and communities with a relatively strong decline in OC.
If you didn't grow up playing the game, you are unlikely to give it much mind and find it unappealing and unintuitive.

And that is to say nothing of the dearth of a Japanese community. Never was popular over there.

>> No.7348641

>>7318721
gmod was never popular in Japan, even relative something like TF2. And since gmod is heavily community oriented, the chances of them picking it up would have been little beyond a few streams out of curiosity.
Coincidentally minecraft servers were also relatively lowkey in Japan and such during its initial heyday, at least going by Niconico streams and videos. It wasn't until around 2015, during its dork age in the West, that it began to get traction as a social game.
