The Stampylongnose Tours of Komic1111’s Minecraft Worlds
One Minecraft builder whose builds I’ve really loved is Komic1111, his worlds were toured by the YouTuber Stampylongnose (Joseph Garrett). Komic1111, or Komic for short, was a Minecraft Xbox player whose YouTube channel is Komlit, although at the time of writing Komic hasn’t posted in four years. Komic’s two main worlds that Stampylongnose (Stampy) toured were Paradox and Purgatory. As well, a world with a giant Christmas tree built for the Gaming Lemon videos that Stampy helped build part of and a zoo-themed Hunger Games map were also showcased by Stampy. I think on the Xbox versions of Minecraft Komic has probably one of the coolest worlds in my opinion. Not just on Xbox but also in all of Minecraft on every platform. Sure there are maps you can buy and lots of worlds with mods on PC but using Minecraft out of the box with no texture packs, mods, or anything additional at that time truly is what makes Komic’s Worlds awesome.
I have played Minecraft for years with my family and cousins ever since an older cousin brought there laptop to a birthday party and showed me and my younger cousins Minecraft. Due to my love for city building games, Minecraft has always been a fun one where I have built cities. Komic’s worlds gave me so much inspiration and love for the game that I just had to write about it and give him and Stampy the credit for creating amazing nostalgic memories in these world tours.
Stampylongnose toured the world of Paradox before the addition of creative mode to the Xbox 360 edition and for the scale of the world, it was insane that it was built on survival. Stampylongnose mentions the duplication glitch that affected Minecraft Xbox 360 at the time and how yes without this glitch Paradox wouldn’t be possible but in a time before Creative Mode, this was a very unique and innovative world. The fact that all these high-blocked buildings had to be made with scaffolding using random blocks, and could be built without flying is very impressive.

In this first world, Stampy’s tour includes numerous locations such as The Mechanical City, Forgotten City, Ender City, Fire Temple, and Oshia Temple. This world was still very much like Stampy puts it “a construction site” due to it being built in survival but this world seriously has some very impressive and detailed locations. In Paradox much of it was built over the ground. With it being a snowy world there is also a lot of ice that the world is built on.

Some of my absolute favorite parts of Paradox include the Machine City, Fire Temple, and the mall. These areas just have futuristic vibes and are executed very well in the game. Komic’s other major world Stamplongnose toured was called Purgatory which is a very futuristic and also fantasy-themed world. This world features floating islands, a more modern city, a Minecraft block museum, a massive airport, an oriental city, and even a spleef arena for the popular Minecraft minigame spleef.

From Stampy’s series, the airport is a huge amazing build and in Komic’s own videos, he calls the airport the Airport of Time. In Stampylongnose’s world tours, most of them that are in creative mode do a flyover where Stampy edits it to make it look like some kind of flying vehicle built in the world can take off and fly around. While this is all edited and for show purposes because there are no vehicles like this in Minecraft it is always a special moment to take to the skies and witness the whatever world from above. Stampylongnose did a flyover on Purgatory and while the world loading was an issue it is a very awesome experience for the end of the world tour series.

I think Minecraft is a great game and really brings out creativity in a unique virtual way. You could honestly say that Minecraft and the architecture and design in the game are an art form. As Stampylongnose says in the third video when touring Paradox, “a big thing for me why I think it’s so popular is because of how vast the different types of audiences are for this game like the age range and the gender range. Like anyone can play it theirs eight year olds that are playing and having fun and there’s people like me I’m 21 playing it and there’s adults playing it and there’s people in the 40s having just as much fun.”

Minecraft truly combines so many different game styles and elements like city building, combat, survival, mini games, art, music, etc. Personally, I remember when Minecraft was becoming popular when I was in elementary school and today that game is still a part of my life and has made me who I am today. With YouTubers like Stampylongnose, the game took off and I think the aspect of sharing creations and worlds to a large audience really helped make way for the modern-day gaming community on YouTube. If Stampylongnose or Komic reads this article I wanted to say that for Komic you created some of the most legendary worlds in the early Minecraft history. For Stampylongnose thank you for the memories not just touring worlds but with all your videos on many games you helped create a generation and the memories and nostalgia I have from videos like yours are so special to me.
