What works
What makes a good Minecraft thumbnail?
Before and after
Noob vs pro and day 1 vs day 100 split the frame in two. The left side is small and plain, the right side is huge and shiny, so the whole video reads in one look.
A big number
100 DAYS, 0:59, 1,000. A huge number tells a Minecraft viewer the challenge or the record before they read the title.
One player, one hook
The player sits on one side, close to the camera, holding the item that matters: the netherite sword, the ender pearl, the pickaxe over the hole.
Two words or a speech bubble
NOT HARD, EASY!, GOTCHA. Short, outlined text or a speech bubble reads on a phone and leaves the picture doing the work.
