Great Music Disc War

The **Great Music Disc War** (lasting 3–22 July 2021) was a conflict between the Cod Empire, backed by Pixandria, and Mythland, backed by the Grimlands. It happened early in season 1.

## Events

### Provocation

*Original video: Ep. 7 (Sausage)*
For some time, Jimmy had been stealing minor items from Mythland: eggs, seeds, wheat, a bell, and a cow. He also nabbed a Fortune III book, and King Sausage stole the "Greatest Song in the World" from Jimmy's house in response, ransoming it for a diamond block to pay for the things Jimmy took.

### Pixandria invasion exercise

*Original video: Ep. 7 (Sausage)*
King Sausage led a pillager army onto Pixandria as a non-aggressive invasion exercise, getting the pillagers from an outpost very near Pixandria. Though initially a prank, Pixlriffs was moved to side with Jimmy in the Disc War.

### Cod Empire boulder traps

*Original video: Ep. 8 (fWhip), Ep. 8 (Sausage)*
fWhip got involved when he heard his closest ally was in conflict with Jimmy. He added "decorative" boulders all over the Cod Empire, trapped with TNT. At the same time, Sausage approached Jimmy to hand over the receipts for all the things stolen from him by Solidarity, again demanding a diamond block in exchange for the music disc's return.

### Witches & watchtowers

In retaliation for the pillager prank, Pixlriffs swapped the librarian villagers in Mythland's Library with witches he'd managed to collect from a raid. He then named all of them "Librarian". Pixlriffs asked his viewers to tell King Sausage that his librarian villagers were struck by lighting and converted into witches. Pixlriffs keeps the kidnapped villagers in an undisclosed location to trade him glass and enchanted books.

King Sausage took the bait, believing the double-agents in the *Empires* community to be his own spy network. Sausage searched the empires for whose heads should roll, and he settled on Pix & Jimmy as his primary suspects. Quickly learning what happened from his actual spy network, Sausage searched Pixandria for his librarians. He wouldn't find them until after his conflict with the Cod Empire is resolved.

Meanwhile, Jimmy was erecting a watchtower to spy on Mythland from afar and sent them a threat on the General's life.

### Sand trap

*Original videos: Ep. 10 (Sausage), Ep. 9 (fWhip)*
Now lacking a source of cheap enchantments, Sausage and fWhip came up with a plan to kill Pixlriffs. They dug out a massive pit under Pixlriffs's work-in-progress storage room and rigged it with a break-away sand trap into a deep dripstone pit.

Unfortunately, it was too easy for Pixlriffs to identify the trap. After discovering the plot against him, Pixlriffs sent a message to his enemies: *In order to kill The Copper King, you need to do something no one has ever seen before.*

### A ravishing gift

*Original video: Ep. 12 (Sausage)'*
Pixlriffs and Solidarity officially allied together and "donated" two ravagers to Mythland, named "Bulldozer" and "Lawnmower," setting them to trample Mythland's crop fields. Sausage and fWhip instead quickly saw their utility as weapons of mass destruction, and Sausage adopted them into his army. (One of them unfortunately died while moving them to the stables.)

### The wrath of Mythland

#### Magical Bomb

King Sausage built a magical bomb (respawn anchor) and had it blessed by Wizard Gem. In the Cod Empire, Sausage built a pit trap covered in grass, with the fully charged magical bomb atop, leaving signs saying "The magical society welcomes you." Jimmy touched the respawn anchor out of curiosity and set it off.

#### Redecorating the Codfather's house

*Original video: Ep. 13 (Sausage)*
Sausage flooded Jimmy's house, saying he would feel more at home in a house filled with water. He loaded the water with salmon nametagged "Salmon > Cod". This was an even further insult to Jimmy, who hates salmon.

#### Occupation of Pixandria

*Original video: Ep. 14 (Sausage)*
MythicalSausage sent a large army of pillagers, all named "Mythland Solider NPC", to occupy and take over Pixandria while Pixlriffs was offline. As the army was being transported, most of the pillagers suffered extreme collateral damage from each other, to the point that they were one-hit kills for Pixlriffs.

### Fake music disc

*Original videos: Ep. 14 (Sausage)*
Jimmy requested that Katherine Elizabeth (a neutral ally to both of them) call a meeting with Sausage to parley. She advised Sausage to return the music disc. Sausage laid a jukebox down and played the song a moment, and he claimed "This right here will end all fighting. This right here will just put a stop to it all. But you know what, I prefer violence!" as he cast the disc into a fire. Katherine quickly swiped the disc from the flames and returned it to Jimmy, but not before noticing it'd been renamed to "The WORST Song in the WORLD!" Jimmy quickly ran back to his base to rename and safeguard the music disc

After Jimmy left, Sausage revealed the renamed disc wasn't the original copy.

### Peace

*Original videos: Ep. 14 (Sausage)*
fWhip and Gem came up with a plan to end the conflict, by blowing a scar in the land to separate Mythland and the Cod Empire. It did not end it, though, as Jimmy still wanted his disc back. However, fWhip and Gem advised Sausage to return the disc, so Sausage finally opened his ender chest and gave back the real music. Jimmy stated that "The Great Music Disc War is officially over."

## Aftermath

The Great Music Disc War was, at first, a cause of strained tensions between the Cod Empire and Mythland, later evolving into a full-scale conflict that involved the Grimlands and Pixandria. However, the fighting was not brutal, mostly involving pranks, and the conflict did not spread far enough to involve most empires. The only casualty was the General's third cousin on his grandmother's side.
