What is Crocodileandy up to right now?

Since October 10, 2026, everything revolves around Craft Attack 14. In “MEIN PLAN für Craft Attack 14” (“My plan for Craft Attack 14”) he announced his next giant base: an Atlantis, but “not sunken and half broken” – in full splendour at the time of its founding. Then came “Baubeginn meiner MEGA BASE” (“Starting my mega base”, October 14), “So groß wird mein Tempel” (“This is how big my temple will be”, October 17), “Ich BAUE das BESTE PORTAL auf dem Craft Attack Server!” (“I’m building the best portal on the server”, October 21) and “Ich ORGANISIERE eine SHOW in Craft Attack 14” (“I’m organising a show”, October 24) – for that he builds a theatre in Atlantis and recruits performers on the server. Before that, in September 2026, he played the hardcore project Minecraft Feinde (“Minecraft Enemies”) and the story series “Minecraft Himmel” (“Minecraft Sky”). How much Minecraft is in his uploads:

Who is Crocodileandy? The key facts

According to the legal notice on his channel, Crocodileandy is Andreas Beigel – “Andi” on his podcast, “Croco” in his videos. He is a trained architect and a father; that’s in the description of the podcast he runs with his friend Lars. Both, it says, became social media creators “by a roundabout route” and built their reach with Minecraft. He greets his viewers with “Servus”; his legal notice and fan-mail address are in Upper Bavaria. He doesn’t say how old he is or exactly where he lives.

The beginnings: build tutorials (2018)

According to the channel info, the YouTube channel was created on November 21, 2017; the oldest surviving video dates from July 13, 2018: “Survival Haus 01 – Dichterwald Wald”. In the early years he mainly posted build tutorials – starter houses as an igloo, a hobbit hole, a treehouse or a swamp hut, a town house, a mill with a water wheel and an aqueduct. You can still tell an architect runs the channel.

The breakthrough: Craft Attack, Slither and Minecraft films

With Craft Attack 8 in November 2020 he joined Germany’s biggest Minecraft project (“Ein verrückter Start 🔨 Craft Attack 8 mit Croco #01”, “A crazy start”). His builds there made him known in the scene. By 2022 at the latest he started “Slither mit Croco”, in which he takes on other creators’ records in the browser game Slither.io: “Ich schlage iCrimax in Slither.io” (“I beat iCrimax in Slither.io”) is one of his most-watched videos with just over 2.1 million views, “Ich schlage Paluten in Slither.io” has more than 1.4 million (as of October 28, 2026).

Then came the Minecraft films: in “Die Geschichte von Minecraft Farm [Der Film]” (July 8, 2023, over 2.4 million views, a little over two hours long) he builds a farm on his grandpa’s behalf, befriends a witch and fights a gang of robbers. “Burg” (castle), “Dorf” (village), “DINO” and “Freiheit” (freedom) followed – most of them with over a million views.

Why is Crocodileandy so popular?

• Architect-level building: his Craft Attack bases are whole cities with a plan, a floor plan and a tour at the end of each season.
• Stories instead of challenges: many videos are long adventures with a plot, characters and a finale – more audio drama than shouting.
• Calm tone: he explains what he’s building and rarely gets loud.
• His own projects: with Minecraft Siedler he organises server projects for other creators himself.

Known projects & series

Craft Attack 8–14 (since 2020)

Crocodileandy has played Craft Attack since season 8 (November 2020), and every season has its big build. In his own words: the tower castle in Craft Attack 8, the villager town in Craft Attack 10, the castle in the sky in Craft Attack 11 and the city tree in Craft Attack 13. In Craft Attack 12 he built a Nuka-Cola factory including a drinks vending machine, and every season ends with an “XXL Rundtour” (XXL tour). Mischief is part of it too: “RAID in meiner Craft Attack 10 Stadt” (“Raid in my town”, over 940,000 views) and “Ich beklaue den ganzen Craft Attack Server” (“I rob the whole server”, over 870,000). In Craft Attack 14 he is building Atlantis – with a temple, a portal and a theatre.

Minecraft Siedler (up to Siedler III, 2026)

Minecraft Siedler is his own project: each player develops a village, collects taxes, uses them to buy resources, raises troops and frees territory from robbers – or attacks the neighbours. For Siedler III in June 2026, four teams competed on an island, including Jomaro, Geschichtsfenster, Baasti, Kiru, Noah, Lars and Luke. Black_Kirito programmed the economy system, his build team made the map, and mods such as Villager Recruits and Small Ships were added. The opening video “4 Teams simulieren Mittelalter Minecraft” (“4 teams simulate medieval Minecraft”) has over 400,000 views.

Minecraft films and 100 days (since 2023)

Besides the “Geschichte von Minecraft” films there are 100-day videos: “Ich habe 150 Tage Minecraft im Mittelalter gespielt!” (“I played 150 days of medieval Minecraft”, September 2023, over 1.1 million views), “100 days as a mage” and “100 days as a dragon hunter” (September 2026, around two and a half hours). In 2026 he also ran a zombie apocalypse series in stages of 25 to 100 days and the story series “Minecraft Himmel” with sky islands and void pirates.

Minecraft Feinde (2026)

In September 2026 he took part in Minecraft Feinde, a hardcore project with mods. The goal is to be the last survivor on the server – attacking other players is explicitly allowed. Titles like “Wegen MIR wird es KRIEG geben” (“There’ll be war because of me”) or “Ich wurde GETÖTET in Minecraft Feinde!” (“I was killed”) show the tone. Fabo and benx have played the project too.

The novels: Crocos Abenteuer (2025–2026)

Like benx and EinfachGustaf, Crocodileandy writes novels for the publisher BrainBook. In the first book, “Im Auftrag des Königs” (“On the King’s Orders”, March 2025), a royal messenger visits Croco in his mountain village: the king fears that an ancient portal has been reopened. With Wilhelm, Boris and Sigurd, Croco sets off across mountains, past raiders and magical dangers. The book is in German; retailers recommend it for ages 8 and up.

The second book, “Vermächtnis der Magier” (“Legacy of the Mages”), came out in March 2026; Amazon gives a reading age of 8 to 16.

The podcast “Besser als Nackt” (since 2023)

Since May 2023, Crocodileandy has hosted the German podcast “Besser als Nackt” with his friend Lars, a former trainee maths and computer science teacher. The two dads talk about “the blunt truth of social media life” – new games, storytelling, personality cults. Episodes usually last about an hour and are aimed at teens and adults rather than kids.
