During the Minecraft:Beyond the Pale Garden promotional campaign, an Minecraft:add-on created by him was released, Minecraft:Majestic Camping.

In 2025, he and fellow creator Template:W held a stream filmed at the Template:AMCM of Template:AMCM.<ref>Template:Citation</ref> Later in the year, he and the Fallen Kingdom series were featured in an episode of Minecraft:How We Make Minecraft, as an example of fandom culture influencing Minecraft.
