He checks for Minecraft updates, edits the videos in the afternoon, and uploads the finished product at PM, after which he checks for comments. He said, "There isn't another game where free content comes out every day made by fans, some of it is mind-blowing. In addition to Let's Play videos, he makes mini-movies that involve original characters in Minecraft. On Twitter, Dan states that he puts too much pressure on himself to make daily videos. He wants to spend more time with his wife, pugs and Asher.

Trayaurus competed against each other in "Dr. Trayaurus' Challenge Colosseum". He also started Custom Mod Adventures, where Dan uses the mod and makes a story out of it. MoreTDM may come back, as his wife is having a baby boy in January. Dan mentioned in a video once that he'll no longer upload on MoreTDM because he's not interested in vlogging, and that his personal life will get leaked too much.

He later on apologized on that video with having another swear word at the end. Dan explains how he broke his hand, and says he was at his kitchen where he slipped, and his pinkie hit the corner of the table while falling, dislocating his pinkie finger.
On that day, Dan went to the hospital, got some X-Rays, and was wearing a cast on his arm. The next day, Dan went to the hospital again, and his knuckle was forcefully popped back in place but had to wear a hand cast for the next 4 weeks to help keep his dislocated knuckle straight.
There are 9 levels in the game, and the game is where you are not supposed to hit any of the walls, but hit the spider webs. If you hit the wall, you have "Broke your hand", and you have to retry the level. And if you get to the spider webs, you complete the game. Your character moves for you, and you go faster and faster every time. On October 26, , Dan's hand cast was cut and removed from Dan's hand, and now has full function in his hand to use, as the cast was keeping his dislocated hand straight.

Dan continuously liked to dye his hair in a number of colours, some of these colours include blonde, turquoise, light blue, and pink. Dan has mentioned that "When I was younger, I dyed my hair like every colour of the rainbow. The brown hair is his natural hair colour which he was born with.
You can see Dan with this hair in his older videos, from the start of his channel to early December The video below is a video of Dan with brown hair, a few days before he dyed his hair blonde.
When he has a beard, it is also brown. His beard is typically either clean shaven or chinstrap but he recently grew a moustache as well. The first hair colour change was when Dan dyed his hair blonde on December 9, He said that he dyed his hair blonde so that he could get the desired blue hair he wanted.
After dying his hair blonde, he said that he liked the hair colour but the hair colour only lasted a day as he had to put blue dye over it. The next hair colour took place a day after he dyed his hair to blonde on December 10th, Dan meant to dye his hair blue but it turned turquoise instead. Dan dyed his hair light blue on December 18, This time, to ensure blue and not turquoise, Dan mixed purple and blue dye together. In January , Dan cut his emo sides and back real short but kept the top.
This hair colour change was the first and only time that Dan went to a salon to get his hair dyed instead of doing it himself. This hair colour change took place on March 2, During this time, Dan also changed his hairstyle to more of a brushed overlook. There is no footage online of his hair being dyed but below is his first video with dark blue hair. This hair change took place on March 16, , but Dan uploaded the video on the hair 3 days later on March 19, In the video he talks about how horrible and messed up his hair is, so he says that he is gonna get his hair fixed in 45 minutes.
So in within those 45 minutes, Dan uses Photoshop to see what kind of hair he could put and see if he can pull it off. After his hair appointment, he came back with hair which looks is dyed navy blue and he now goes for a new hairstyle where he swooshes his hair up more.

This time he dyed his hair blonde by a professional and then tried to dye his hair pink and blue on his own. Again on August 26, , he uploaded a video where he dyed his hair blonde by a professional.
After his hair was dyed blonde, he dyed his hair pink and blue again just as he did on July 29, But this time he dyed his hair blonde before putting the pink and blue on, so he achieved the look he was going for.

Even though Dan has a young fanbase of kids who consider Dan as a good role model to them, this doesn't stop him from leading his life in whatever direction he wants to by getting tattoos. As of now, he has a total of 8 known tattoos. According to Dan, he thinks tattoos are a form of art and aren't for everyone, but he personally loves them.

Most of Dan's fans don't know that Dan has this tattoo.
This tattoo was not revealed in a video on or from a tweet on Twitter. This would also be almost impossible to find on Google as you have to scroll countless amounts of pages to find this. But if you scroll on Instagram for a bit, you will stumble upon an Instagram video that Dan uploaded on June 4, , showcasing a tattoo that seems to be a skeleton wearing a crown.
On July 25, , Dan uploaded a video on showcasing two of his new tattoos. One of them is a tattoo that has the words "have fun". It is handwritten by Dan with his own handwriting. According to Dan the words "have fun" are the motto which he lives by and having fun is what always matters even during tough, stressful times. The pink ribbon is to commemorate all TeamTDM members and subscribers who are still around, and some who are unfortunately who will not be around, being Lucas and Henry who according to Dan are two special kids who will always have a place in his heart.
On July 25, , Dan uploaded a video showcasing two tattoos which he got. One of them is a blue heart on his right arm.

It hit No. It was also the New York Times' book of the month for July that year. He also went on a book signing tour. In December that year, Dan also released a book-based diary. In July , Dan announced to his viewers that he was going on a tour of the United Kingdom. Fans expected to see a gaming session similar to his Insomnia shows in Birmingham, UK. Instead, they received a scripted show which included Minecraft, Roblox and many games coded especially for the shows. It was an adventure to save Dan's pugs and welcomed back some characters who had taken absences such as Denton, Trayaurus and Craig.
It also welcomed some new faces such as Eve, Evil Dan and Mr. See the Major Characters page for more info on some of these characters. After the last part of the UK tour, Dan announced that he was taking this show on a world tour.
He started in Sydney, Australia, followed by half a year in the United States. It was then followed by a short Australia tour, where his final show took place at the Sydney Opera House. In April , he announced that he was embarking on a world tour once again, starting in four arenas in the United Kingdom Wembley, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow.
As part of the "interactive experience" that was promised for the tour, an app was released that was used for the shows. The shows were held between June and July of the same year. In September , he announced that he would not continue the tour due to his wife's pregnancy, and instead, it was later adapted into a film that was shown in select cinemas in United Kingdom, Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand on 2 and 3 November Online ticket selling started on 4 October.
In a similar fashion to the tour, an app was also released as part of the interactive experience. On 12 July , he released the full cinema version of the show to his YouTube channel as part of its first anniversary. Numerous controversies started to spread after the Live Show with people saying the show was "made for kids" and was "too childish" but Dan's Red Show got it worse. People started to say things like "it's just not Dan'" and "it's a waste of money".
The tournament consists of 10 teams and 40 players, featuring a variety of custom minigames. The prize is a special MCC coin by Noxcrew.
Dan started this series on August 22, , and it is still ongoing to this day, albeit very rarely. Mod Showcases are recommended among most people because while he gets involved with the Mod and shows it off, he sometimes even makes a storyline to help your understanding the mod and to make it funnier.
His Mod Showcases are normally where he adds his characters, most often Dr. Trayaurus is known for being a scientist but also switches jobs according to the storyline e.
The McDonald's Mod Showcase. He apparently isn't very intelligent according to Dan, probably because he didn't go to school when he was a little villager.
His mod showcases mostly take place in Dr. Trayaurus' Lab. The Mod Showcases are Dan's oldest series to this date and this series has over episodes making this Dan's biggest series to date. In April , Dan decided to revisit his old videos and made a new video showcasing mods after getting over 18, likes on his Twitter post. His video showcased 5 mods in total. A mod pack modded survival made by Dan on April 20, , that adds a bunch of new dimensions and mods to Minecraft.
The aim is to visit as many dimensions as possible. At the moment, the series has episodes. It's on the break as there aren't many Minecraft mods and Minecraft mods take a long time to make, so Dan stopped the series and is going to make a new one, dubbed Minecraft Misadventures.
Season 2 of the Diamond Dimensions started at Episode This time, the Diamond Dimensions has 62 mods and is now for 1. One of the bugs is when using a sword with sharpness as mentioned on his Twitter DiamondMinecart , which was fixed later on. He recently got a spider pet, which sadly, his son Craig killed, and a battle pig named Baconator.
