However he soon defered to the Minecraft video game, and ever since then has been building a name for himself in the online world. His channel was then renamed to The Diamond Minecraft and started uploading gameplay videos suitable for the children from five to ten years old, subsequently changing the name of the channel to TheDiamondMinecraft, and later to DanTDM.
