Draw

Draw—better known by the handle DrawThatRedstone—is a Minecraft content creator, programmer and redstone hobbyist whose videos and livestreams blend engineering showcases with dead‑pan humour. Although operating on a comparatively small scale (fewer than 2,000 YouTube subscribers and just under 3,000 Twitch followers as of June 2025), Draw has carved out a cult reputation in the same creative circle that includes Godis, Cure, Bitzel and other Hypixel‑adjacent personalities. His expertise in unconventional trap mechanics and skywars trickery makes him a frequent on‑screen collaborator in the broader “trap‑comedy” micro‑scene.

## EARLY ACTIVITY AND CHANNEL LAUNCH (2018–2020)

• First footprints – Draw’s earliest public posts appear on the r/Redstone subreddit in mid‑2018, where he shared GIF demonstrations of piston‑powered line‑drawing machines and recursive flying‑machine arrays.

• YouTube debut – The channel *DrawThatRedstone* was created in February 2019 and originally hosted short‑form tutorials; most of these are now unlisted. The oldest public video still visible, “Quick Trap #1 | Hypixel Trapping,” dates to late 2019 and sets the template of rapid jump‑cuts, understated narration and a punch‑line death montage.

• MCC Application Era – In 2020 draw pivoted toward event‑style content, uploading comedic application reels such as “MCC 10 Application – Draw, Hex, Drill, Cam.” Although the clips never secured a spot in the main tournament, they established Draw’s penchant for self‑aware parody and collaborative skits.

## GROWTH AND COLLABORATIVE FOOTPRINT (2021–PRESENT)

• Skywars & Trapping Montages – A breakout video in early 2021 (“Torturing Minecrafters | Skywars Trapping Montage”) garnered several thousand views on Reddit, leading to a modest subscriber bump and DMs from like‑minded builders—including Cure and Godis.

• Godis & Cure Collaborations – Draw became a recurring guest in multilinear trap videos and MCC Island streams. Highlights include cameo appearances in the *Trapper* series, participation in Cure’s 2023 “Funniest Moments” compilation, and MCC Island live‑streams with Bitzel’s circle.

• Twitch Presence – Streaming under the same handle, Draw airs irregular sessions of redstone R\&D, variety minigames and “scuffed code live” programming. Average concurrency is 40–70 viewers, with spikes above 150 when raided by collaborators.

## PERSONA AND STYLE

• Avatar – A muted grey hoodie skin with a stylised redstone‑dust emblem on the chest; often depicted wearing pixelated safety goggles in fan‑art.

• On‑screen energy – Dry, understated and hyper‑technical. Whereas Godis riffs in meta‑monologues, Draw delivers terse explanations (“this repeater chain is cursed; do not replicate”) followed by an abrupt cut to carnage.

• Tag‑line – Channel header quip: “what an independently chosen panel of critics has determined to be the best to ever do it.”

## CONTENT PIPELINE AND TOOLS

• Recording – OBS Studio at 240 fps for slow‑motion trap replays.

• Editing – Adobe Premiere with heavy usage of Excalibur macros; code snippets and schematics rendered in VS Code overlay.

• Programming Projects – Maintains a personal website (drawthatredst.one) that hosts occasional blog posts on algorithmic line drawing, datapack internals and plugin prototypes.

## STATISTICS (AS OF 24 JUNE 2025)

• YouTube subscribers – ≈ 1.9 k • Public uploads – 5 main videos, \~35 k cumulative views • Twitch followers – 2.9 k • Peak concurrent viewers – 312 (during an MCC Island scrim, October 2024)

## NOTABLE VIDEOS

1. *Quick Trap #1 | Hypixel Trapping* (2019) – Establishes Draw’s minimalist trap format. 2. *Torturing Minecrafters | Skywars Trapping Montage* (2021) – First montage to break 10 k views. 3. *MCC 10 Application – Draw, Hex, Drill, Cam* (2020) – Collaborative parody reel. 4. *The Funniest Minecraft Moments of the Summer* (2022) – Compilation cut from collab VODs; perennial fan entry‑point.

## COMMUNITY INTERACTION

• Active moderator on niche Twitch chats and a semi‑regular Reddit commenter under u/DrawThatRedstone, known for the phrase “let him cook” in algorithm debates.

• Runs a small Discord server (“Dust Bunnies”) dedicated to redstone troubleshooting and datapack brainstorming; membership hovers around 200.

## TRIVIA

• Favourite redstone component: observers (“because they watch my code so I don’t have to”). • Held temporary moderator status in TommyInnit’s Twitch chat, where he infamously spam‑shared a Bruno Mars meme, turning it into a minor fandom in‑joke. • Maintains a private Git repository titled *red‑mistake‑machine* containing failed trap prototypes dating back to 2018.

## FUTURE PLANS

• A blog post dated March 2025 hints at a “redstone GPU v2” capable of rendering Bresenham line art in real time. • Confirmed guest role in the forthcoming Cure & Godis video “We Turned TNT Off… So Godis Turned Logic OFF,” slated for mid‑2025.
