The PopularMMOs Youtube channel is back on the rise, however, as more videos are now being posted (with some being reaction-based rather than Minecraft gaming content).

The biggest videos on PopularMMOs channel reach 56 million views, and center around unique Minecraft mods and showing them off.

Dream - 14.5 Million Subscribers

Dream is without a doubt the most controversial Youtuber to make the list as one of the top 5 biggest Minecraft Youtubers, with his channel starting in 2014.

In this time, Dream has stacked up 1.2 billion Youtube views.

This is because after Dream’s metoric rise in 2020, which saw his channel grow from 1 million subscribers to a whopping 14.5 million, Dream has come under fire for his speedrunning.

Dream captured speedrunning World Record presence this year making the leaderboards for his times. These runs have since come under fire, however, and research has concluded that they are nearly statistically impossible.
