If before, Minecraft was just a small independent game played in a single-player mode, it has now become one of the most beloved PC game titles with a huge fanbase and extensive support.
Over the years, many players have carved out a niche, showcasing their outstanding skills and becoming some of the most talented players in the game. To be honest, I have a fondness for watching their livestreams every day which are not only wildly entertaining but also provide me with valuable insights into new Minecraft tips and tricks.
So, who is the best Minecraft player in the world? In this article by Gurugamer.com, I will share with you some renowned nicknames.
