Top Minecraft streamers in 2025

Loading

Minecraft in 2025 has remained a solid presence on livestreaming platforms like Twitch and YouTube. The game has found a consistent enough audience on such services to enjoy year-on-year improvements in its viewership when it comes to metrics like Hours Watched (HW), Peak Viewers (PV) and Peak Channels.

What makes the sandbox game unique is that, unlike many other top titles, its audience and player bases are spread across platforms. This diversity is evident in the most-watched Minecraft streamers of the year, with as many as four different livestreaming services represented in the rankings below, sponsored by Godlike.

With premium and free server hosting services, Godlike is the best option out there for highly customizable servers. Critikal World, a semi-anarchy server that doesn't lag and has active, periodic development, ranks among its top options. Featuring powerful lag-free hardware and 24/7 support, Godlike is the best Minecraft server for hosting in 2026.

Most watched Minecraft streamers in 2025

#10 Marcel "nooreax"

Nooreax was one of the fast-rising stars in the German livestreaming scene in 2025. Having made a name for himself thanks to his German variety content on both his Twitch and YouTube channels, the Brandenburg boy was also a silent star in the ever-vibrant Minecraft livestreaming scene.

The two-time competitor in the prestigious MC Championship has been a big mover on the Twitch watch time charts over the past two years, led by his Minecraft content. A member of the popular German SMP server, Craft Attack, most of nooreax's content in the sandbox game originated from participation in collaborative efforts, such as FitnaCraft, a popular German-speaking gaming series, primarily on Twitch. It fosters a collaborative server environment, where creating content around building, survival, and community interaction are the main aims.

#9 Kim "감스트" In-jik

Also popular among fans as Gamst from his YouTube days, 감스트 comes next with 5.43 million Hours Watched. The SOOP Korea star's most-watched game last year was Minecraft, and he's been part of various servers during this time, including those with recreations of popular media franchises like Pokémon.

Kim also created VTuber Company, the server that acts as a harmonious place for Virtual YouTubers to come together and have fun, after the Twitch shutdown in Korea led to a massive influx of these talents to SOOP Korea. The crew has also worked hard to create a unique mod, where two major storylines were built in the "Gamst Universe" that these members participate in and battle within.

#8 Gabriel "gabepeixe" Baptista

The lone Portuguese-speaking representative here, gabepeixe, is a prominent Brazilian creator and a key member of the LOUD content creator team. While known as a variety giant — often dominating categories like Rust and Grand Theft Auto V — his Minecraft content has remained a vital part of his community engagement and competitive legacy in 2025.

The Rio de Janeiro residents' Minecraft content was primarily driven by major community events and the return of the popular Brazilian series, Arkanis. His return streams of this popular roleplay/survival series in November 2025 saw significant engagement. Much of his late 2025 content across platforms involved "Stranger" goal-setting (e.g., "Stranger se bater meta"), where he used Minecraft or variety games as a vehicle to hit sub and donation milestones.

#7 Ivan "spreen" Buhajeruk

One of the most recognizable Latin American streamers, spreen has seen and done it all. Another big name to participate in the recent Squid Craft Games 4, he was one of the final few influencers to exit the event on the final day. The Argentine Kick megastar also tried the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft for the first time in October, a livestream that attracted almost 23,000 PV.

With the game remaining a huge part of the livestreaming community in the LATAM region, there were plenty of other collaborations and events. This included The Bridges of ElMariana, a tournament hosted by another prominent Hispanic Minecraft streamer, Mexico's Osvaldo "ElMariana" Flores.

#6 Abraham "ElAbrahaham" Flores

One of the fastest-rising LATAM streamers, ElAbrahaham, has come a long way last year, led by his Minecraft exploits. By far his top title by watch time in 2025, the Mexican YouTuber has also been part of plenty of collaborations. Atop this list is Twitch Rivals' Squid Craft Games 4, where he was eliminated on Day 3.

He was also prominent for being among the top Minecraft content creators to give the hardcore mode a lot of attention throughout the year, often alongside other famous LATAM streamers. Apart from livestreaming his own playthroughs, Abraham also spent a lot of time reacting to other influencers' on the legendary sandbox game.

#5 Felix "xQc" Lengyel

In 2025, xQc continued to use Minecraft as a "comfort game," a reliable high-viewership bridge between high-intensity drama, slots, and new game releases. While his overall 2025 airtime was dominated by Just Chatting and variety titles like ARC Raiders or Marvel Rivals, Minecraft remained a significant metric-driver across his dual-platform (Twitch and Kick) setup.

The legendary rivalry with Hans Eli "forsen" Sebastian Fors remained a central narrative throughout 2025 for the Canadian. He also shifted his strategy last year, spending more time in specialized "practice" worlds to perfect his mechanical movements and bastion navigation. He also participated in influencer events like Squid Craft Games 4, bringing an international presence and audience to a competition that usually sticks to its Hispanic roots.

#4 Kevin "Papaplatte" Teller 

Papaplatte, one of the two German names in the top three of this leaderboard, has put up almost 9.3 million HW in 2025. His content last year was a reflection of the increased exposure Minecraft has received from German-speaking influencers over the past few years.

Apart from participating in Craft Attack 13, the 28-year-old was also part of the Magenta eTrophy: MCC Edition, a collaboration project involving German-speaking content creators and players from the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland). He even took his collaborations international, roping in the likes of Mark "ohnePixel" Zimmermann and Félix "xQc" Lengyel as they took on each other in the popular manhunt series.

#3 Pekora Ch.

The second VTuber here is Pekora Ch., who accrued over 8 million HW through her Minecraft broadcasts in 2025. The Japanese Hololive star was also part of plenty of collaborative efforts, including starting one of her own projects — the Holo Dragon Minecraft. This ongoing event uses the popular Ice and Fire Minecraft mod and will run until December 20.

She was also part of HoloMoneyMakingSurvival, an often chaotic role-playing series featuring members of Hololive. These VTubers played survival/economy games while focusing on interactions, resource management, funny moments, and often hilarious "survival" challenges.

#2 Jang "악어∀" Dong-min∀

악어∀ is the second SOOP Korea name here, with his Minecraft streams last year reaching over 11 million HW. He has almost exclusively broadcast this game throughout the year, helping put him in the top two of this list and also putting him among the platforms' most-watched creators for 2025.

The Korean star is the creator of the Crocodile Crew, a team of VTubers who create content on various genres, including the sandbox game. Popularly known as Crocodile, Jang has participated in various Minecraft servers and events, and often livestreams himself taking on difficult challenges in the title.

#1 Bastian "BastiGHG"

Leading the Minecraft movement in 2025 is BastiGHG, another prominent name from the German livestreaming scene. The Berlin resident has been busy recently playing the game's new version, titled Mounts of Mayhem, which also signaled a big change in the version naming system by Mojang.

He has also hosted charity Minecraft livestreams, created unique worlds consisting of escape rooms and deserts in mod servers, and done multiple deathruns, aside from participating in events like Craft Attack 13. As a result, around 74% of his entire watch time for 2025 has come from the title.
