Richard Thornton

Hey if you stream on YouTube - or know someone who does - please reach out. I'd love to set you up on our PRO plan so you can test out all of our amazing features. After years of being Twtich-only, we've FINALLY launched for YouTube! Come and experience the fun.

In 2022 I held a charity stream supporting Bondi2Berry and dementia research. We raised $3k AUD. Two years ago our first #StreamToRemember raised $11k and last year we hit $14k! If you stream on #Twitch, come and help us smash that this year? Nov 14-17. streamtoremember.com/signup25

I'm back from the longest holiday I've had in years and so excited to share the adventure with you all. Come and hang out for a bit - we'll chat holidays, stream plans, projects... Missed you all! twitch.tv/richardthornton

Folks! I have to listen to my tired old bones and not stream again today. BUT I'm speedrunning with the absolutely wonderful @frilioth.bsky.social in two days, raising money for @alzheimersresearchuk.org. We'll be LOCKED IN, which means we'll be awful, but having a lot of fun! See you there?

It begins. I'm losing my voice, so it won't be a huge stream, but let's spend some time together. Happy Pride Month everyone! 🌈💜 twitch.tv/richardthornton

Join us this time tomorrow as our corner of Twitch celebrates #PrideMonth. It's not lost on me how privileged I am as a cis white man and that I will never face what so many in the LGBTQIA+ community do just to exist. My heart, arms, eyes and ears are open. Hope to see you there.

I can't stream, but I CAN smash through some editing! Could it be a THIRD Border Hoarder episode in a week? You bet. I'm tired of hunting creepers, so I built a music disc farm, then hunted for some elusive flora instead. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAqu...

I have been belted by a virus and then pneumonia over the last few weeks. Doc told me to get actual rest, so I'm going to have to cancel this steam again I'm sorry. I'm really missing hanging out with you all. Loving my Border Hoarder series but chat is where it's at. ❤️

This is a common sight in our area these days, but every single time I see them, I can't help but think Jeremy Irons is around here somewhere plotting to rob a bank!

After all of the effort I put into finding the rarest block in Minecraft, the way it happens has to be the most unsatisfying! 🙃 Lots happening in this ep of Boarder Hoarder - we're really closing in on completion now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=191f...

And here it is. The long lost episode 10 of Border Hoarder! This is one of eps where everything falls apart so quickly... I find the stronghold and kill the big black bird with ease, but then trigger a hilarious series of stupid mistakes. Enjoy this one! youtu.be/ROYrEf2GmQE

TFW you finish editing and rendering a new YouTube episode to find another one you edited, rendered, watched with the kids, then completely forgot about... I guess this is a two-episode week of Border Hoarder folks! Sorry it wasn't out earlier. 🥴

Well, having been sick for a couple of weeks, I finally went to the doctor and I have some sort of pneumonia going on. Off for more tests. Sadly I'm going to have to skip this stream. Hope everyone at TwitchCon Rotterdam has a ball and you all have a great weekend wherever you are!

Hey everyone 💜 Very special release today! @richardthornton.com and I have finally done it. Here it is, the full version of Dumb Ways to Die (in MCC): Huge thanks to @noxcrew.com and @mcchampionship.com for your support with this 💜 youtu.be/wcMYlb1hmsg #minecraftchampionship #mcc #dumbwaystodie

Calling all fans of @mcchampionship.com! @markisparki.bsky.social and I just dropped Dumb Ways to Die (in MCC). Talk about an ear worm! Find it on your favourite streaming platform NOW, plus a lyric video and performance video on our YT channels. Tell ya mates! www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIvx...

Once again, my Friday stream will be on Saturday, tomorrow will be today, today will be yesterday and I will hopefully see you there... Border Hoarder is nearing completion and I desperately need creepers, so you can imagine how that will go!!

One of my favourite parts of streaming is when things go wrong. When I opened my Border Hoarder #Minecraft world on stream over the weekend it was borked. Chat was amazing, immediately researching the issue and suggesting fixes. I'm so grateful for the diversity of our community!

It's Saturday Night. Live from Melbourne! Is this a bonus stream? A catch-up stream? Who knows?! But let's see if we can find ourselves a big black bird in #Minecraft Border Hoarder. Going live now: twitch.tv/richardthornton

As an Aussie, you'd think I'd be ok with spiders. But I'm not. Even in Minecraft...

I have a silk touch pick and I'm not afraid to use it! But, as it turns out, I am afraid of a few things and scream so much my computer crashes... This episode of Border Hoarder is just a little more unhinged than usual. 😂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=66_r...

Well I'm about to go back to the dentist for the *second* time today, ugh, but I'm planning a relaxed stream with a unique Lego birthday gift I was given. It's a pretty raw setup, but will be a cosy spot to hang out for a bit! 4ish hours from now. twitch.tv/richardthornton

Minecraft stream kicking off in an hour and I NEED YOU! I'll be recording Border Hoarder and I have just acquired Silk Touch... We need to collect all the blocks we can! Come join the search party. twitch.tv/richardthornton

This might just be the most I have achieved in a single Minecraft episode... Villager breeder, auto carrot farm, mini trading hall and an iron farm! Not much border movement, but silk touch has been acquired!!! Oh and there's some fun music in this one. youtu.be/JXgu490UhKs

This week's episode of Border Hoarder probably has the single highest number of unique items I'll collect in this entire play-through... I'm dying over here! Oh and I rename Pillager Patrols, "Pillager Parades" and I think that should stick. K thx bye. youtu.be/gCKP2coWYJU

Well today's plans have fallen apart! I'm off to start a root canal at short notice, so won't get to my stream I'm afraid! I'll be joining my mate @frilioth.bsky.social on Sunday though for some speedrunning to support Alzheimer's Research UK... Come and see if we can beat our best time!

I'll be streaming in a few hours - back in Border Hoarder today! But I'm currently flying solo organising the kids and their friends... Kick off might be a little late. Or early. But most definitely not on time! See you soon on twitch.tv/richardthornton

I am so insanely proud of this episode of Border Hoarder... Tightly edited, some great tunes, and I'm actually getting, things, DONE! I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I've enjoyed making it. 😁 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds2V...

It's time for more Minecraft action! Every unique item I collect expands the world border... Join me for some more taping for my YouTube series - live on Twitch - NOW! twitch.tv/richardthornton

Join me in an hour for a live taping sesh of my Border Hoarder series. Adventures and some busy work are on the cards... Come and hang out for a bit! twitch.tv/richardthornton

My schedule has been all over the place recently, but I'll be live on Twitch in 30 mins, chilling and chatting while we play the beautiful tile placing game #Dorfromantik. Come say hi! twitch.tv/richardthornton

It's here! I am probably going to go crazy trying this challenge, but for every item I collect or craft in #Minecraft, the world border expands... Whatever happens, it'll be fun! Huge props to @simondmc.com for creating such a great map. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdT0...

I can't make it to my stream again today, but I have a new #Minecraft series launching on YouTube in the next few hours. If you haven't subscribed - now's your chance... Go go go! :) youtube.com/@richardthor...

Ooh... What's this?

Today is definitely an HTTP status code 418 kind of day.

This is honestly a pretty accurate representation of my life right now. I have to skip another stream I'm sorry, but stay tuned for some pretty cool things coming up soon!

I just hit my four hundred day streak in Duolingo and immediately deleted my account. I figured if I was going to bow out, I'd do it on my terms. Au revoir mon petite chouette.

Life, uh, finds a way... Of disrupting my stream schedule again. I won't make it today I'm sorry. Join me Thu/Fri for a longer stream to make up for it!

What doin?

Crawled into bed at 10pm while Mrs T was still at work. Woke when she got in at 11:30. It's now 12:45 and I'm all like 😳. That 6am alarm is inching closer...

Minecraft stream coming up in a couple of hours. Let's hang out and try to make a few tweaks to Cluedo after all the recent games! Then we might try and get to the dragon in hardcore... Maybe. Possibly. We'll see! See you there? twitch.tv/richardthornton

I think the Australian Open commentator just said "It's been a fairy-stale tart" and I can't stop giggling. Quick, someone CLIP IT! 😂

You've seen me design, build and play my Cluedo/Clue game in Minecraft, and a version of the map is now available for YOU to play. It's designed for multiplayer, so you'll want it on a server - I'll write some tips for that ASAP. All feedback is welcome! www.planetminecraft.com/project/clue...

Please enjoy all my posts equally.

I'm super excited to be helping @ebonygmusic.bsky.social celebrate her stream-aversary. Come and join us now as we try to escape from each other... No, wait, escape from rooms together! twitch.tv/richardthornton

Sorry folks - after a hot, hectic day, I'm bumping stream to tomorrow. This old man needs to do a little bit of editing then fall into bed early tonight! 😵‍💫 See you tomorrow!

We interrupt this regularly scheduled program... I have to run a few errands today, so need to push back my stream I'm sorry. We'll continue the hardcore Minecraft madness at 8:30pm AEDT, 9:30am GMT, 4:30am EST (sorry US friends!).

I'm going to start a brand-new hardcore Minecraft world on stream today. I never get far with these, but maybe 2025 will be different? I say we speed-FUN-run the dragon, then find a spot to settle down. Want to join the fun? See you in two hours! twitch.tv/richardthornton

A family that bricks together sticks together...
