Who is GeorgeNotFound?

GeorgeNotFound, real name George Davidson, was born on November 1, 1996, in London, England. He has been making YouTube videos regularly since 2019 and is one of the defining personalities of the modern Minecraft era. What sets him apart: his relaxed manner, his dry British humor and his role in the big Minecraft projects around Dream.

His career exploded during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when he and Dream developed new Minecraft formats together. He hit his first million subscribers in June 2020 and his ten millionth in December 2021.

Where the name “GeorgeNotFound” comes from

Dream came up with the name “GeorgeNotFound”, inspired by the “Error 404 – Page Not Found” message. Since George was a coder, the techy name fit perfectly. Before that, George used the names “GeorgeeeHD” and “GeorgeeeHDPlays” on YouTube.

Education and early career

George studied computer science. That technical know-how still matters today, because he can code his own Minecraft plugins and mods.

Even before that, George worked as a coder on various Minecraft servers, which is where he met Dream: in 2016, on the MunchyMC server, Dream asked him for help with a plugin – George ignored the request, which motivated Dream to get better at coding himself.

The viral color blindness video (2020)

In April 2020, George made public that he has red-green color blindness (protanopia). Urged on by fans, family and friends, he got a pair of colorblind glasses.

On September 9, 2020, he posted the video “Minecraft, But I’m Not Colorblind Anymore…”, in which he could clearly tell colors apart for the first time – according to Wikipedia his most successful video, with more than 44 million views. Viewers were moved when George realized that Dream’s skin is green, not yellow. At the Minecraft Championships, his color blindness caused problems in Build Mart (MCC 6); the organizers then added a subtitle option that also helps other colorblind players.

The move to the USA (2022)

On September 18, 2022, George announced that his US visa had been approved. In October 2022 he documented his move to Orlando, Florida, and his first in-person meeting with Dream in the video “I Met Dream In Real Life”. He has lived there with Dream and Sapnap ever since and makes more IRL content.

The 2024 allegations

In March 2024, the streamer Caitibugzz accused a well-known creator of sexually harassing her after a VidCon party in summer 2023; fans linked her account to George. In a statement, George acknowledged physical contact but described it as mutual. He apologized for misjudging her age and said he had perceived the situation differently than she did. The streamer disputed his account. As a consequence, George was cut from an ad for MrBeast’s brand Feastables, among other things. No legal action has been reported (MeinMMO). Only two more videos appeared on his main channel in 2024.

Known projects & series

Minecraft Manhunt

Besides the Dream SMP, GeorgeNotFound became famous above all through the Minecraft Manhunt series – he was the very first hunter. In the format, Dream tries to beat Minecraft and defeat the Ender Dragon while George and other hunters (often Sapnap and BadBoyHalo) try to stop him.

The videos regularly reached tens of millions of views. Running gag: although George was supposed to be a hunter, he often ended up being hunted himself – complete with his iconic scream of “DREAM!”.

Minecraft challenges

• “Minecraft, But…” series: challenges with modified game rules
• “Minecraft, But My Friend Is A Dog/Horse…”: collabs with Dream in absurd scenarios
• “I Lived INSIDE Minecraft For 150 Days” (January 2024): one of his most ambitious projects
• Custom plugins: George codes his own plugins for his challenges

Minecraft Championships (MCC)

GeorgeNotFound first competed at MC Championship 6 (June 2020). He won the regular events MCC 11, MCC 12 and MCC 24 as well as the special events MCC All-Stars and MCC Pride 22. His MCC 24 win (August 2022) came on a team with Dream, BadBoyHalo and Skeppy.

Cult moment: during Dodgebolt at MCC All-Stars, George said: “I’m a genius, I’m ahead of my time… I died.” – a line that became famous in the community.

Banter podcast

In August 2022, GeorgeNotFound joined the Banter podcast as its third co-host, alongside Karl Jacobs and Sapnap. On the podcast, the three talk about gaming, their experiences as creators and stories from the Minecraft community.

• Streamy Award nomination 2021 in the gaming category

Dream SMP: the roleplay server

How it started (2020)

In 2020, Dream and GeorgeNotFound founded the Dream SMP (Dream Survival Multiplayer) together – a private, whitelisted Minecraft server that was originally meant for just a few friends and became one of the most influential Minecraft servers in history.

The Dream SMP combined gaming with improvised roleplay, long storylines and scheming between factions. The creators played fictionalized versions of themselves.

GeorgeNotFound’s role

As a co-founder, George played a central role:

• King of the Dream SMP: Dream crowned George king, which led to important story developments
• Various factions: George was part of El Rapids and the Manberg government, among others
• “Sleeping through events”: George became famous for sleeping through important server events – a running gag that became part of his character

The end (2023)

In March 2023, Dream announced that there probably wouldn’t be a second season. On April 10, 2023, several members gathered on the server one last time to defeat the Ender Dragon together.

Outlets such as PC Gamer, Wired and Polygon described the server as a “Machiavellian political drama”.

GeorgeNotFound’s gaming setup

George doesn’t list any hardware in his Twitch panels or video descriptions, and prosettings.net has no entry for him either. Setup lists online that claim otherwise don’t cite a verifiable source.

Merch

GeorgeNotFound sells his own clothing and accessories in his official shop, georgenotfound.shop. As with any creator shop: talk to younger fans about prices and budgets first.

His friendship with Dream began online on MunchyMC in 2016. Fans have turned the two into a “ship” called “DreamNotFound” and written lots of fan stories – one was so popular that it gave an extra boost to the song “Heat Waves” by Glass Animals. For George and Dream themselves, it’s a close friendship.

Private life

George has lived in Orlando, Florida, since 2022. He’s a big animal lover: in 2019 he adopted his cat Luca, who died of a rare illness in July 2020 at just one year old – George shared the news on a livestream. Later, a Hungarian Vizsla and another cat joined the family.

Fun facts:

• Positive influence: openness about color blindness

• Language: occasional swearing, mostly in livestreams
• Livestreams: Twitch streams often last several hours and have an open live chat
• Dream SMP: the lore is complex and includes some more mature themes – better for teens

Does GeorgeNotFound swear? Occasionally, mostly in livestreams. His edited Minecraft videos are fairly clean.
