Minecraft experienced an insane level of popularity after its release. Established in 2011, the game has attracted millions of players worldwide. This article explores who the biggest Minecraft streamers are on Twitch in 2022.
Minecraft is the brainchild of Markus “Notch” Persson. It features an interactive world where the player mines for minerals. The player uses the minerals to build homes, hotels, and airports, recreate Middle Earth, and do multiple other things. You can raise animals on your own self-built farm or build a city. You can invite others into your world through clever banners and good buildings. Did we mention it is a world made of cubes? Minecraft is simple in construction, making it even more appealing to gamers of all ages.
Twitch Streaming and Minecraft
During the last few years, streaming gameplay on the internet has become big business. Twitch is a new-ish platform designed for gaming streamers. It allows them to play and display their own reactions as they go, so they can talk to other potential players through the game mechanics. Who are the biggest names in Minecraft + Twitch streaming? Let’s find out.

That’s a lot of titles.
3 – Rubius (Spain)
Next up and chasing hot on Auronplay’s heels, Spanish speaker Rubius occupies the second slot. Rubius currently tops 12.7 million followers, just 200k shy of his leader. He has been playing since 2013 and has accumulated a whopping 4.5 million hours watched. His peak view numbers sit in 100,000’s as opposed to the 200k plus of Auronplay.
