Career

Grian, alongside Jumla and Salted, founded Wynncraft, a fantasy massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), initially released on 29 April 2013. [3] Wynncraft received generally positive reviews. [4] On 4 July 2017, Guinness World Records recognized Wynncraft as the largest MMORPG created within Minecraft. [3]

Grian joined Hermitcraft, a private, invite-only Minecraft server, in 2018. He since became one of its most well-known members, and co-hosted events for Hermitcraft's collaborations with charities such as the Gamers Outreach Foundation, the Make a Wish Foundation, and SOS Africa. [5] [6] [7]

In 2021, Grian launched the Life Series, a collaborative Minecraft series featuring 13 other YouTubers. The first season, titled 3rd Life, premiered in April of that year. Grian described the series as "experimental hardcore with a twist." The success of 3rd Life led to the creation of multiple following seasons. [8]

Grian is a regular contestant of MC Championship, one of the biggest Minecraft competitive tournaments which began in 2019. Grian and his team won the 17th MC Championship in September 2021 [9] as well as the Copper Crown MC Championship in October 2025. [10]

In July 2022, Xbox collaborated with the National Trust to recreate Corfe Castle in Minecraft. The build, created by Grian with the help of archaeologist Martin Papworth, was launched ahead of the National Trust's Festival of Archaeology. [11] [12] [13]
