Squid Island Eras

The Eras of Squid Island, or Squid island story arcs are the unofficial distinct periods of Squid Island history marked by events encompassing and marking the eras. There are currently ten eras of the series; this page will highlight and give summaries of the eras. Each era has a timeline summarising its main events. 
== Foundational Era (Nov 8 2023 - Nov 22 2023) ==
* The beginning of Season 1
Main article: Foundational Era (Squid Island)
The Foundational arc is the inaugural arc of Squid Island. It is marked by lack of severity and low frequency of trolls and general unity in group videos. It started with the series premiere of Squid Island on November 8 2023 and ended with the debut and coronation of King Glowey I on November 22 2023. Architecture and design were simple and diamonds were very rare to have, often opting for iron instead. The city was packed in the southern shore exclusively and the main antagonist was Jelly, who generally took a mischievous and malevolent role troll wise.
=== Timeline ===
November:
8: Squid Island (then untitled) premieres with very high ratings. Jelly and Slogo reunite with Crainer, build their houses and go mining and collecting resources together.
10-12: Crainer gifts presents to Jelly and Slogo, with Slogo’s slightly better than Jelly’s. Jelly begins construction on his gigantic temple citadel, he also steals Slogo’s gift and replaces it with a horrendous one. Slogo finds out about Crainer’s gift, beginning to speculate that Jelly might’ve stolen his gift, though deciding to help him on his temple, returning his gift. He also works on an animal farm in the centre of all of their houses.
15: The two name the unnamed island Squid Island for Henward, ultimately find out Jelly had stolen Crainer’s gift to Slogo. They also create an iron golem knighted Golem to protect their city.
17: Crainer puts sand on top of the house on Jelly’s Temple as a troll in retaliation for the gift sabotage.Slogo rigs Jelly’s chest with TNT so that when he opens it, it blows up, as a troll for the same motive as Crainer’s troll the day prior. He also finds the first diamond on the server and stashes it away in a block near the Slogo Hut. Jelly clears up the sand troll by Crainer and finishes construction on his temple. In order to secure his valuables, he constructs a secret underground labyrinth inside his temple, and in a secret area makes a large room for such purpose. 
== Regal Era (Nov 22 2023 - Dec 13 2023) ==
Main article: Regal Era (Squid Island)
The Regal arc was the Era of Squid Island following the Foundational arc and preceding the Legal arc. It is well known for the boys escalating the frequency and intensity of trolls, often being progress-wasting, as well as them improving on their buildings to have a unique and novel concept behind them. It started with the debut and coronation of King Glowey I on November 22 2023 and ended with the first mayoral election of Squid Island on the 13th of December. Wealth was rising during this time, with diamonds all but replacing iron as the main currency, and gradually rising geopolitical importance with the establishing of a monarchy, at the expense of drifting ideals and declining unity despite remaining crammed in the same general area, at the time of architectural rise.
=== Timeline ===
November:
22: The trio memorializes Henward with a glow squid named King Glowey I, as suggested by Slogo. Slogo's troll on Jelly works, they do some terraforming, and find many diamonds.
24-25: Jelly decides to sabotage Crainer’s 'pooper' inside his house, a mine entrance, with lava, so that Crainer falls into it, dies, and loses all of his items. Jelly also steals 5 of Slogo’s diamonds. Crainer, with backup tools, regains his items, expands his farm, and improves King Glowey I’s residence.
26-29: Slogo fills Jelly’s Temple basement with farm cows, some entering Crainer’s house. Crainer discovers Jelly’s sabotage, leading to a boxing match organized by Slogo. Crainer wins and takes Jelly’s items.

8: Jelly builds Floating Squid Island due to his now destroyed pyramid. He discovers the wishing well troll and the absurdity of it. 
==Legal Era (Dec 13 2023 - Jan 10 2024)==
Main article: Legal Era (Squid Island)
The Legal arc was the Era of Squid Island following the Regal Arc and preceding the Broken Arc. It is mainly known for its introduction of democracy at the request of a still burdened Jelly and beginning of rapid growth of land for Squid Island and rapid economic, strength and architectural growth of the boys. Trolls became less severe and less common, at about the pace of the Foundational arc. It began with the first mayoral election of Squid Island on December 13 2023 and ended with the January 10 group video where instability began. Unity was also consolidated at this time, and an explosion of characters began, where many characters had joined the series and none had left. Following the January 10 election, Jelly became dictator by extending his term to 4 weeks and by securing control, he could then be as aggressive and strict to Crainer and Slogo as he liked, beginning the Broken arc.
=== Timeline ===
December: 
13: The Squid Island government would be established, with every mayoral item being collected, and the first election being hosted. Slogo would defeat candidates Jelly and Crainer. This made him create Law 1, significantly reducing the chance of trolls by introducing a tax for trespassing.
17: Slogo, since he didn't have any tasks to do, opened up a community pet shop on the north west side of the city. He inspected the tasks, also. This would be the introduction of the characters Bobby, Melvin and Anton since they would soon adopt pets.
20: On this day’s mayoral election, Jelly would defeat candidates Crainer and Slogo. He created Law 2, stating that no tower- type structures were allowed on the island, jeopardising the Slogo Lighthouse and Crainer's watchtower on his sand castle. They also built a central enchantment area and adopted their pets. Slogo would go on to move out of his old lighthouse, and build himself a new home. The Observatory. A giant dome shaped house perfect for looking out into the stars.
January:
3: The three get rid of King Glowey I’s enclosure and build large canals stretching through the town as his new residence. The King Glowey Statue is also burned down by Crainer, who ended up winning that day’s mayoral election. Law 3 is enacted, a getback on Jelly for forcing him to demolish his watchtower, as it forced Jelly to move back onto the island.
5-6: Jelly partially damages his residence, takes all of his belongings, and ventures to the opposite side of the island to construct his deepslate pyramid, the first in his now notable lava architecture. Slogo diverts the flowing lava beam of Jelly’s deepslate pyramid to blanket the entire structure in lava, before framing it on Crainer. He additionally sets up a flower shop, done to both make it seem more legitimate that Crainer did it, and a way to deal with his storage of flowers he had acquired from his task.
== Broken Era (Jan 10 2024 - Feb 14 2024) ==
Main article: Broken Era (Squid Island)
The Broken arc was the Era of Squid Island following the Legal Arc and preceding the District arc. It can be split into two parts; the first beginning with the group video of January 10 at the lava-covered deepslate pyramid, the second beginning immediately after the Assassination of Jelly. The era ended on February 14 2024 with the treaty of Squid Island. It nosedived Squid Island into destabilisation and had dictators securing control amongst declining democracy and escalating geopolitical events as well as straining of unity. It fuelled a plateau of architecture and wealth. Trolls were extremely severe and caused immense damage, strained relationships among the boys. Lavish architectural resources like stone were often dropped for simpler materials from constant destruction and efficiency.
=== Timeline ===
January:
10: The troll causes a massive rift amongst the trio, with Slogo successfully tricking Jelly into thinking that Crainer had did it, also making him pay 10 diamonds for violating Law 1. The final democratic mayoral election would take place, leading to Jelly being reelected to a second, non-consecutive term, extending the term length from 1 week to 4 weeks, becoming an evil dictator. However, the trio worked together to revamp the town hall, constructed on the previous month’s 13th.
26: The three decide to advance their progress in beating the game by exploring the nether to get blaze rods from nether fortresses, then proceeding by attempting to find ancient debris to make netherite out of, so that they can climb to netherite tools and weaponry. In order for this, they additionally go into a bastion to collect netherite smithing templates. Slogo is the first one to gain netherite equipment. Jelly decides to muster the other two and follow them to the Town Hall to announce the extension of his term from 4 weeks to 8 weeks, a more exacerbated and decisive dictatorial move. Slogo then triggers the rigged TNT contraption he set up exactly a week prior, assassinating Jelly, implying to declare himself mayor and sparking the Squid Island Civil War. Jelly ignites Crainer’s houseboat, then heading to Slogo's Oberservatory and igniting the second floor of the building before igniting the floor of the first, while attempting to spare Bobby. Jelly would leave messages for the both of them, before evacuating his pyramid with his pet Melvin to a secret bunker to evade punishment.
30: In response to all the chaos, Slogo proceeds to take King Glowey I with him to establish the provisional New Squid Island, though accidentally murdering him in the process.
February:
7: The New Squid Island uprising would occur as the island would start to be destroyed and all laws would be abolished with the burning of the Book of Laws. Soon, Jelly, Slogo, and Crainer would part ways for a week (Jelly and Slogo would each build a temporary house).
10: Crainer would build the House of Friendship, a building solely meant to persuade the three to get back together as a group again. He would also not build a house whatsoever, living homeless for a week.
== District Era (Feb 14 2024 - April 10 2024) ==
Main article: District Era (Squid Island)
The District arc was the Era of Squid Island following the Broken arc and preceding the Industrial arc. It was initiated by Crainer after the boys went their separate ways. This led to the Treaty of Squid Island, with Jelly and Josh signing the treaty to divide Squid Island into 3 separate states, Jelly Land, Crainer Land, and Slogo Land. These districts have seemingly a different respective theme to them. Slogo Land being industrial, Jelly Land being a forest, and Crainer Land being a barren city wasteland. Trolls in this Arc are very destructive, with the peace only lasting for a couple weeks. In the Second Squid War War on April 5th, after a lot of fighting, the group would decide a presidency on the island would be needed. The arc would end on April 10th, where Slogo would be elected as the first president. His presidency would soon help Squid Island build up it's industrial capacity.
=== Timeline ===
February:
14: Crainer would meet up with Jelly and Slogo at the House of Friendship, signing the Treaty of Squid Island, and he would get the three back together successfully, and they would split the island in 4 regions: Crainer Land, Jelly Land, Slogo Land, and Community Land, which would be the location of the planned out Squid City. The three would also tame other pets from the Cow Town series.
17-18: Jelly constructs a small temporary wooden pyramid to live in for the time being. Crainer constructs a gigantic glass aquarium on the site of Slogo's Lighthouse for the sole purpose of housing his main pet, Floppy.
22-23: The three would start construction of Squid City. Crainer would construct a skyscraper in which he would live in for just about a week until it would be exploded, in which it would be refitted as his main source of enchanting. Jelly would construct a treehouse pyramid which would soon be burnt down by Crainer during the Jelly's Squid Island TNT explosions.
28: The three would announce the return of the King Glowey dynasty by putting King Glowey II in an aquarium only for Crainer to accidentally murder him with an axe. Jelly would respond by exploding his skyscraper while Crainer was bringing in the next monarch, King Glowey III. Crainer would retaliate by setting Jelly's forest on fire.
March:
2: Jelly would execute his plan to retaliate against Slogo and Crainer. He would set up a pressure plate system that blew up Crainer's hut and parts of the then under construction Bork Co. Tower.
14: The three would go on to gather resources to build the Squid City Arena, in which the Crainer v. Jelly gladiator fight would occur, in which Crainer would wager a piece of land near his pyramid, whilst Jelly would wager the island south of Crainer Land. Jelly would win the fight, and would build a tall lava skyscraper two days later.
20: The three would focus on fighting The Wither, and retrieve the Nether Star, a key component in the Squid City Beacon.
April: 
3: The Second Squid War would ensue following the tensions after the Restaurant No-Fish incident. With 4 total casualties, with most by Jelly, Slogo would deescalate the war and bring up the idea of a presidency on the island. Following this would be the founding of the United States of Squid Island, and the first presidential election would be up.
5-7: Slogo would start his presidential campaign, and would cover Slogo Land with alternating red and white robes. Jelly, and then Crainer would also start their presidential campaign.
== Industrial Era (April 10 2024 - May 8 2024)==
Main article: Industrial Era (Squid Island)
The Industrial arc was Era of Squid Island following the District arc and preceding the Shattered arc. It started on April 10th, when Slogo was elected as the first president, and ended on the group video of May 8 where Slogo got re-elected and punished Crainer. Previously, on April 5th, after much fighting (The Second Squid War), the group decided to establish a presidency. The United States of Squid Island was founded, and presidential elections were held. During Slogo's presidency, Squid Island became highly industrialized. Slogo built the Squid Island Prison and a monorail system, and each trio member started their own company: Jelly Inc., Bork Co., and Humpy Co. In the next era however, the presidential system would unfortunately begin to collapse. 
=== Timeline ===
April:
10: The poll results would be finalized, and Slogo would win the election by a landslide, winning 61% of the votes. He would introduce the Constitution of Squid Island, with the laws necessary to upkeep the country.
12: Slogo would terraform and essentially destroy New Squid Island to construct the Squid Island Prison, which was sponsored by Bork Co.
13: Crainer would find his fourth pet, a camel named Humpy. He would also build a vault underneath the Squid City Town Hall.

25: The three would go on to build a monorail that goes around the whole island.
May:
1: On the final day of his presidency, Slogo would controversially auction off the land of Jelly's Lava Skyscraper to Crainer. He would also request to both Jelly and Crainer to give him a gift, and pay 36 gold ingots in taxes. Crainer would then drain out the lava skyscraper in its entirety. Crainer would rename Crainer Co. to Humpy Co.
3: After the new snapshot, Slogo would upgrade Bork by giving him wolf armour from armadillos. In the meantime, he would find a forest wolf and name her Kat, as if she was Bork's girlfriend.
4: Jelly would start a security company called Jelly Inc., with its grand opening having a 75% discount for all sales valid for 3 weeks.
5: Crainer would finally demolish Jelly's Lava Skyscraper in its entirety, replacing it with a new skyscraper which served as the headquarters of Humpy Co. He would pay the taxes, but forget to give Slogo a gift and say the pledge of allegiance.
==Shattered Era (May 8 2024 - June 17 2024)==
Main article: Shattered Era (Squid Island)
The Shattered arc is the Era of Squid Island following the Industrial arc and preceding the Revolutionary arc. It began on the group video of May 8 where Slogo got re-elected and punished Crainer, and ended with the resurrection of King Henward. This era is marked by the start of instability, as the presidential system would begin to collapse due the re-elected President Slogo taking the role of dictator. He would punish citizens, selfishly claim lands, and enforce strict land expansion rules. Jelly would rebel against Slogo by building a Dead Bork Bone Statue on Bork Island. He would also be the one to cause the Squid Island Vault Attack. On June 8, Crainer would be elected as president. His presidency was also harsh, as he would threaten businesses, burn down the Bork Farm sign, create a law relating to villager abuse that would make Bork Co. shut down, and even resign at an attempt to make Jelly president. 
===Timeline===
May:
8: As a result of the wrongdoings by Crainer, he would get controversially severely punished by both Jelly and the re-elected president Slogo by getting killed two times and his netherite pickaxe being stolen.
10-16: Slogo would start the groundwork for the Statue of Calamari by building a base for the structure. Crainer would also contribute to the foundation of the statue, as he put a lot of blue, cyan, and light blue concrete in chests. The Statue of Calamari would then be completed.
20: Slogo would claim the ownership of a piece of land (with a permit) near Slogo Land. This land would be named "Bork Island".
27-30: Jelly built a TNT trap under the Squid Island Vault for protection. Slogo constructed a Bork Co. Vault for valuables. Slogo accidentally triggered the TNT, causing the Squid Island Vault Attack. Jelly and Crainer then held a presidential debate. Slogo stored the surviving valuables, including 64 diamonds, in the Bork Co. Vault, taking 3 diamonds as payment for Law 5. He stated the remaining valuables would be moved back once the Squid Island Vault was rebuilt.
June:
3: Jelly adopts a new pet bee, and names it "Beenny Too" (in commemoration of Beenny). He then constructs an enclosure for Beenny Too located underneath the Beenny Memorial Statue (around Beenny's Grave). The enclosure is encased in Green Stained Glass and contains a hive, trees and flowers.
June:
8: With 6.2K out of 10k votes, Crainer won the June 8th presidential election 2024. Slogo passes the president's trident and suit to Crainer in his stage, and Crainer promises to have freedom, peace, and prosperity in his speech.
13-14: Slogo constructs the Museum of Squid Island on his land, shaped like a dome similar to The Observatory. The museum features the Squid Island Beacon and houses ancient items and books preserving the island's history. Jelly renames his company to "Beenny Co." at Crainer's request.
15: The group deposits Crainer's tax in the newly fixed vault. They go to the End, defeat the Ender Dragon, and Crainer announces Jelly as Citizen of the Week. Jelly gives a speech and helps Crainer create a law banning the abuse of villagers for products or food unless they "look good." Jelly declines another award. After the announcement, Crainer and Jelly start targeting Slogo, who appears very mad.
16: Crainer officially resigns his role as president, and puts Jelly in as the next president. He leaves a note in the town hall explaining his resignment. He also notifies Jelly and Slogo about this. Whether or not Jelly's position as president is illegal is unclear. Due to the clear targetting at Slogo, this might cause a revolution to occur.
==Revolutionary Era (June 17 2024 - July 9 2024)==
* The finale of Season 1
Main article: Revolutionary Era
The Revolutionary arc is the Era of Squid Island following the Shattered arc and preceding the Reconstructional arc. It started on June 17, 2024, when Slogo resurrected King Henward to challenge King Glowey III's rule, aiming to create a politics-free kingdom, and ended with the establishment of The Squid Islands on July 9. This era can be split into two parts: When The Grove was around (June 17 - June 27) and the revoultion (July 4 - July 9). On June 20, Slogo founded The Cult of King Henward to fill the power vacuum left in the USSI, and established The Grove (a new kingdom) on a cut-off part of Squid Island. Crainer joined Slogo's cult, while Jelly stayed on Squid Island, wanting them to come back. On June 29, Jelly was elected as president, forcing Slogo and Crainer to return, and the banning of cults with a new law book. This era was marked by instability, a polarizing presidency by Jelly, and community divisions, balanced by Jelly’s efforts to recover from past turmoil. However, on July 2, Slogo announced a revolution, leading to the Destruction of Squid Island and ending the era. This era can be seen as a transition between the Shattered arc and the Reconstruction arc, and can be divided in two parts: The Grove vs. Squid Island (beginning right after Crainer's resignation), and the Squid Island Revolution.
===Timeline===
June:
17: Slogo shuts down his iron and food farms due to Law 8, then closes all his factories, including those on Bork Island, declaring Bork Co. "useless." He spots a squid resembling Henward, decides it's Henward resurrected, names him "King Henward," and places him in an enclosure on a newly discovered island near Slogo Land. Slogo proposes building a new, politics-free kingdom there with more freedom than Squid Island.
18: Jelly takes the role as president, but then realizes that Crainer's choice of electing him as president is illegal, which means no citizen is in power, as Slogo has already ran his two terms. Jelly concludes that King Glowey III is now in charge. Jelly builds an underwater throne for King Glowey III.  
19: Crainer decides to moves out of Squid Island, as he has become tired of all of the politics in place. Crainer gathers shulker boxes from the End, stores his most important resources in the shulker boxes, brings along Humpy with him, and officially moves out.   
20: Slogo starts The Cult of King Henward. He collects resources and makes a pool for King Henward (with a tree in the center) and a small tent. He makes a tunnel that connects the King Henward enclosure to the pool to help transport King Henward to the pool.
21: Jelly discovers that Slogo and Crainer have left Squid Island, leaving Bork Co. abandoned with cobwebs and gates. While demolishing Crainer's Billboard and the Bork Co. Sign, he discovers the Cult of King Henward and finds it absurd. Jelly then demolishes the borders of each trio's land, claiming it for Squid City, and builds a huge wall around Squid Island along the monorail. He also removes two stars from the United States of Squid Island flag. 
22: Jelly talks with Slogo on Bork Island, asking him to return, but Slogo refuses, calling Jelly a dictator. Slogo leaves, and Jelly creates "Squid Inc.", holding Bork Co., Beenny Co.,and Humpy Co., and sets the HQ in the former Town Hall. He revives the companies, excluding the Bee Factory, and removes vines and cobwebs. Jelly also secures the vault's riches. Meanwhile, Slogo suspects Jelly might harm King Henward and tries to recruit Crainer, who he believes Jelly manipulated. Slogo resurrects Banton and Anton to win Crainer back and locates Crainer’s Cavern, leaving gifts and a book inviting him to join his cult, naming his island "The Grove".
23: Crainer reads Josh's book and goes to check out Squid Island first. Crainer is suprised and believes that Josh was telling the truth about Jelly, as Jelly has changed the place a lot in a "dictator" way. Crainer then finds The Grove (Slogo's new kingdom), and moves in. Lastly, Crainer writes a book to Slogo that explains what he thinks about Jelly, why he resigned, and that he's moved into this new kingdom.
24: Jelly checks out The Grove, and is disappointed in Crainer and Slogo for abandoning Squid Island. Jelly writes Slogo and Crainer each a book convincing them to come back. Jelly bribes them with 9 diamond blocks (collected from taxes) each. Jelly mentions that If they do not agree to come back, then he will have to return the blocks. If they do agree to come back, they can take the blocks. Jelly also removes Law 7 and Law 8, because they're supposedly "invalid" due to Crainer resigning.
25-26: Slogo and Crainer rejected Jelly's offer and returned the gift, saying he was welcome to join them. They would also add a nature reserve to The Grove. On the next day, Crainer gets the idea of giving the "ocean" to King Glowey III so it has more space to roam around, supporting their cause for freedom. They would flood the entirety of Squid City alongside the border walls Jelly has created, completely covered in water. 
27: Jelly would retaliate by covering The Grove in lava. He would also reconnect The Grove to Squid Island and state that the laws and constitution now applied on The Grove. He would announce that an election would be held next Saturday, on June 29, 2024. 
28: On the next day, Slogo logs on, and immediately sees the lava surrounding the glass layer he’s in, and is very surprised by the troll. He would find Bork, Kat, Anton and Banton and would get them out of The Grove to keep them safe. Humpy and other animals in the nature reserve would die and the trees in The Grove would be destroyed.
29: Jelly forces Crainer and Slogo to move to Squid Island. Jelly then declares himself as the new president, as none of the other two ran as a candidate. President Jelly burns the original law book and makes a "Law Book 2.0". He makes a new law stating the practice, promotion, gatherings, ceremonies and ritual connected to cults or religions, whether public or private, are banned and any individual found to be in violation will be anvilled to death. President Jelly won the battle of The Grove v. Squid Island. Unfortunately, Slogo and Crainer are not very pleased to be back on the island.       
30: Jelly gives Slogo and Crainer a welcoming gift for coming back to Squid Island. Jelly gives a goat named "Goat" to Slogo, and a camel named " Humpy Too" to Crainer.
July:
2: Slogo announces an official revolution of Squid Island, and creates The Secret Grove underneath the USSI flag. Slogo finds out that Bonk and Tonk survived the lava troll on The Grove.
4: Crainer joins The Secret Grove and takes part in the Squid Island Revolution by stealing King Glowey III and putting him in The Secret Grove. He renames the squid to "King Dumb Dumb", and writes a book to Slogo asking him to build a gunpowder factory, possibly to make TNT.
5: Slogo creates a gunpowder factory for the revolution with the help of Tyke and Baby Tyke. 
6: Slogo gives Crainer the TNT produced by the gunpowder factory. Slogo convinces President Jelly for him and Slogo to go to the End to get the President's Elytra, while leaving Crainer behind. While Slogo and Jelly are getting an elytra, Crainer places stacks of TNT around the whole island except for The Grove (He thinks The Grove should stay the way it is). All the TNT is activated by a lever in the middle of the island. When Slogo and Jelly come back, Crainer switches the lever, setting off the TNT, and causing the Destruction of Squid Island, ending not only this era, but also ending Season One of Squid Island.

It began on July 20 2024, with the appointment of Manager Karen and the establishment of bank accounts for the Squid Bank and ended on August 8 2024, with the Abandonment of The Squid Islands. The arc is defined by its financial advancements and resulting social dynamics. The rise of the Squid Bank and the revival of Bork Co. would lead to increased wealth and prosperity across the islands. As wealth grew, the frequency and severity of trolls would escalate. 
=== Timeline ===
July:
20: The trio appoints a squid named "Manager Karen" as the manager of the Squid Bank. They then travel to a jungle on a separate island to help Jelly gather resources for his bank account and builds. However, Crainer purposely burns the jungle and steals loot from a temple. After that, using a treasure map, they locate and collect treasure on another coast.

After that, Slogo travels to a badland to gather terracotta to make concrete. When he returns, he upgrades the lighthouse by replacing the bricks with red concrete. After that, he revives Bork Co. and builds a huge Bork Co. Warehouse on his island. The warehouse includes a crafting factory. Finally, Slogo writes a book to Crainer bribing him to raid and troll Jelly so that he feels insecure and deposits his valuables to the bank.

They explore new trial chambers and gather a significant amount of loot, which they later deposit in the bank. In the Nether, they fight wither skeletons, obtaining skulls. Upon returning, Slogo trolls Crainer by spawning a wither skeleton on his island. They eventually lure the wither to an uninhabited island and defeat it there. Crainer then creates pirate-themed flags and shields using the nether skulls and deposits the nether star in the bank, earning him platinum membership. After that, Jelly reveals that the giant tree on his island, called "The Squid Tree," will serve as a sanctuary for breeding extinct animals. The trio uses brushes on suspicious sand to find a sniffer egg, which they place in The Squid Tree. After 10 minutes of Crainer trying to set the whole forest on fire, the egg finally hatches, and they name the newborn sniffer "Sniffy.
28: Crainer reads Slogo's book and accepts the request to troll Jelly. Crainer gathers black sheep for pirate flags and crafts TNT. Then, Crainer executes his plan and puts TNT around his mansion with trapped chests and pressure plates activating them. Suddenly, he accidentally activates one of them, causing a part of the mansion to be damaged. Crainer then bombs a bit of the island and places pirate flags all around. Finally, Crainer writes a book to Slogo notifying him that the request has been fulfilled, and that he expects a reward.

After that, Slogo helps Crainer build a pirate ship next to Pirate Island.

Sometime after, Slogo and Crainer log onto the server and find out that the server IP has been leaked, and that Jelly appears to be missing. They see that all the islands are in ruins, with many buildings blown up and some covered in lava. They then find a cemetery with gravestones for many pets that have died.
