Phedran, also known by her personal name Amber Campbell, is a Canadian Let's Play commentator well known for her Minecraft modpack "Life in the Woods".

Phedran attended PAX Prime 2013, PAX East 2014 and PAX Prime 2014 with the Mindcrackers. She appeared as a guest in episode 72 of the Mindcrack Podcast.[2] Phedran often collaborates with members of the Cupcake Mafia, and participated in group recordings of SpeedRunners.

Up until 2015, she lived in British Columbia when, for the sake of her health she went to live with a family friend in Northern Ireland.

Phedran joined the CrackPack server as a guest on 6 July 2016, having been whitelisted by Guude during one of his livestreams.[3]

Phedran currently still lives in NI with housemates Tim (whose house it is) and Steph. All three form a mutual mental and physical health support group. During streams, Tim will bring drinks and snacks during to keep up Phedran's strength as well as advise on health matters. Steph occasionally participates in live action board games and Lego building, if not with the occasional video game.

The three have twice befriended neighbors' cats. Formerly, the much missed Jess (a calico), who was 'adopted' shortly before Steph moved in, and latterly, Pixie (the void incarnate). Both have been lovingly referred to as "#NotOurCat", and consider Tim's house a second home.

Despite extreme pain, Phedran has been streaming every day on Twitch.tv/Phedran since Saturday, September 30, 2017 (she has been streaming on Twitch for much longer than that). For the first six months, the streams were from her bed as she was physically unable to be out of bed for any length of time.

Over the years, both prior to and during the regular streaming, she has built a long-standing community that lovingly refer to themselves as "The Phederation". She has many helpers beyond Tim, such as her mods and patrons who can be found watching Phedran's streams or playing on her patron Minecraft server.

In 2019, Phedran accepted the invitation to play on the Mindcrack Season 7 server, with many of the MindCrackers she has collaborated with in the past. When the 8th season came around, Guude requested that Phedran not be quite so enthusiastic about the mega-projects that she undertook on the 7th server, as the sheer effort disturbed some of the more long-standing server players.
