This has been a project on the back burner for a while that I am finally getting around to creating. Today I bring to you my newest project, Mitchcraft. This new YouTube series will follow me as I play the sandbox building and adventure game – Minecraft. I will do my best to keep things as entertaining as possible – but I’ll need your help. Make sure you subscribe, like and comment on the videos you see. Giving me feedback on what you do like and don’t like will help me develop a show you want to see.
