History[edit | edit source]
The Diamond Dimensions, channel growth and vlogging (2013–2014)[edit | edit source]
On April 20, 2013, DanTDM began the modded Minecraft survival series The Diamond Dimensions, which became one of the channel's most well-known series. The series played a major role in the growth of the channel. Dan could also be found vlogging during this time.
Creation (2012-2013)[edit | edit source]
Near its creation, the DanTDM channel focused only on the sandbox video game Minecraft, and mainly did mod reviews and showcases, a let's play of a Pokémon-styled mod of the game, Pokemobs, and snapshot previews.
Expansion beyond Minecraft[edit | edit source]
As the channel continued to grow, DanTDM expanded into Roblox videos, reaction content, livestreams, and real-life event coverage. The rebranding from TheDiamondMinecart to DanTDM helped shift the focus from a Minecraft-only identity into a broader personal creator brand.
