Minecraft Hardcore - Season 4, Episode 3

**Minecraft HC #4! - Part 3 (TRAPPED!)** is an episode in Season 4 of Minecraft Hardcore. In the episode, the group goes mining.

## Summary

Caddy explains how Katamari Damacy would be an awesome idea for a movie. Jeff takes an iron pickaxe for use on ores that require an iron pickaxe to mine. Caddy reveals that he still has a wooden pickaxe. Jeff checks the tie of day, and sees that it's sunset, so the group decides to mine. Caddy points out that he hears mobs. Dean agrees with Caddy's assessment of there being mobs, and the two, along with McJones and Barry, search for them, and find a Creeper. Meanwhile, Jeff builds a staircase, and in the process temporarily blocks the way to the surface for the group, forcing them to fight the Creeper. Jeff jumps down, and kills the Creeper. McJones gets stuck further down the staircase, and Jeff gives him some stair to build his way up.

Down in the caves, the group finds a lot of iron. Jeff finds a ravine, and McJones tries to claim he found it; Dean tells McJones to get off his high horse. Caddy reveals he has 3 1/2 hearts of health remaining, and Dean tells him to fill up his hunger bar. PBG and McJones find a witch, and run away and block her off from themselves. Barry builds a bridge across the ravine to get some iron. McJones explains that when they get another string, he can make a fishing rod, which would help solve their hunger problem. The group returns to the surface, smelt all their iron, and make armor. PBG decks himself in full iron armor, while McJones and Barry are still naked, but then gives them a helmet and boots when he notices they're naked.

At sunrise, PBG brings Dean out to the other cave on the island. Jeff goes out exploring, and finds some cows. Caddy goes down to the cave with PBG and Dean, and Dean accidentally hits PBG as PBG's building down. Caddy then enters the cave, which has a Creeper in it.

Terraria Hardcore - Season 3, Episode 16

**Terraria HC #3! - Part 16 (PINEAPPLE PIZZA!)** is an episode in Season 3 of Terraria Hardcore. In the episode, the group returns home to do more fishing before fighting the Brain of Cthulhu again.

## Summary

The group continues traveling back to the house while discussing the fight against the Brain of Cthulhu and McJones explains how he got trapped by the boss and hat to teleport home. Dean asks what their next boss fight is and McJones explains that the only bosses left are Skeletron and the Wall of Flesh, as well as two optional bosses. Dean accidentally kills a rare desert duck while PBG and Luke check out a small area underneath the surface.

Dean, McJones, and Lucah return home and Dean sees what he can craft with the tissues dropped by the boss. McJones tells him that they should make some armor and a pickaxe first so they can mine the meteorite. PBG and McJones start fishing. Dean leaves briefly to get something out of the oven IRL and the others start discussing their favorite types of pizza. PBG says he likes pineapple and ham on his pizza and Luke expresses relief that he finally found someone else who likes Hawaiian pizza. McJones calls PBG disgusting for liking pineapple on pizza but later says he was joking and that he doesn't actually mind it.

Dean joins PBG and McJones at the lake and the three watch as a zombie tries to break down the door on the other side of the living tree. Lucah joins the others while PBG leaves and returns to the house and opens the crates he found and doesn't find much else other than bait. The next morning, the group starts heading back to the Crimson to fight the Brain of Cthulhu again. McJones mentions how they didn't have many good accessories when they first fought the boss but they have a lot more now after fishing. Luke asks what PBG named his flying fish pet and PBG decides to name it Blair after the squirrel villager from Aminal Crossing,

The team meets up at the Brain of Cthulhu arena and Luke gives his regeneration potions to the rest of the team. McJones realizes he need some powder from the viscous mushrooms in the Crimson in order to craft the summoning item and the group goes outside to search for the mushrooms. Dean and Lucah travel to edge of the crimson and find a giant hole in the desert which McJones goes down, finding nothing of intrest down there. Luke mentions finding some viscous mushrooms earlier and PBG warps home with a recall potion to grab them from the house. PBG makes his way back to the others while Dean is attacked by a zombie while he isn't looking, which Luke helps him kill.

PBG rejoins the rest of the group and gives McJones his mushrooms. McJones goes into the underground Crimson and crafts the summoning item before returning. McJones summons the Brain of Cthulhu and the group quickly takes it out again. The group gives the crimtane ore and tissue samples they got from the boss to Dean and McJones suggests breaking some more crimson hearts if they want to summon the boss again.

Minecraft Hardcore - Season 2, Episode 3

**Minecraft HC #2! - Part 3 (Epic Burns!)** is an episode in Season 2 of Minecraft Hardcore. In the episode, the group expands their house.

## Summary

Barry suggests that they build a farm, which McJones informs him, he is currently making one. Kyrak informs the group that while he was lagged out, he was starved, so all the food he found in the previous episode was wasted. Dean suggests that they head back to the Jungle Temple he and PBG found in the previous episode, but McJones warns him that it's going to be nighttime pretty soon. The group also expands the house, incorporating Dean's wall in the design. McJones points out that they didn't build a door in the house expansion, and goes to build a door as PBG builds a second floor. McJones finishes the roof with some cobblestone, and Barry builds some stairs to the second story. McJones adds some cobblestone battlements to the second floor as Dean tries to attack some skeletons. McJones then adds some overhangs to the battlements to protect them from spiders.

In the morning, PBG tries to head outside, but there's a skeleton right outside the door. Jared, who was outside fighting enemies is down to a heart and a half, so he heads inside. As everyone else heads outside, McJones takes down 3 creepers with the help of Barry. PBG starts a mine in a hole that one of the creepers that blew up created, despite McJones suggesting they use the mine PBG had started earlier. Dean suggests that they go to the Jungle Temple, but McJones says they need to wait for people to get back online first. Dean, with the help of PBG and Jared, attacks several skeletons that survived into daytime: one that found a lake to hide in, and two that found safety under the overhangs McJones built. Dean asks McJones to go with him to the Jungle Temple, but McJones wants to build a bow first.

## Trivia

* Unlike most episodes of Season 2 of Minecraft, which were privated between May 11, 2019 and August 30, 2019, this episode was still able to be viewed on PBGGameplay during that time.

Eventually, Jared jumps in the middle and takes the two fish for himself, eating one of them. The group leaves and starts heading towards Eillom. The group has trouble finding their way down into the city but Jared eventually finds a staircase leading to a pond where they can refill their water.

McJones finds a group of vines they can use to climb up to the rest of the city. Jeff waits by the entrance so the rest of the group knows where to get down while the others start looting the town. Barry finds two bottles Eillom Ale in a chest. Ian knocks a zombie off a bridge as the Wilhelm Scream plays. PBG gives Barry a chain helmet and Barry gives him his other bottle of ale in return. PBG tells Barry that they'll drink their ales once they make it to the top of the floating islands. Ian finds two chests with several potions of healing inside that he leaves for PBG. Jeff finds an iron sword and uses it to repair the one he already has. He also finds a pair of chain boots and 24 arrows. McJones finds another pair of shears and healing ointment. Jeff gives Jared an extra water bottle and Barry a stack of arrows.

The group starts preparing to leave after they finish looting the town. PBG suggests dropping down into the lake below, and offers his iron pants to anyone who is brave enough to jump down there. Barry and Ian are willing to try but Jeff, Jared, and McJones try to talk them out of it. Barry eventually jumps into the lake and survives and PBG throws his pants into the lake for him.

Minecraft Hardcore - Season 1, Episode 18

**Minecraft HC #1! - Part 18 (FINALE!!)** is an episode in Season 1 of Minecraft Hardcore. In the episode, the remaining two players, JonTron and Barry, continue the fight with the Ender Dragon.

## Summary

Before the episode begins, another brief introduction plays after the main intro, which reiterates the quest that the team set out on (to slay the Ender Dragon) and mentions that many of them have fallen along the way. It then shows each of the fallen cast members in order of death, along with the causes of their deaths: The Completionist (Death by AFK), Soah (Death by Digging Straight Down), PBG (Death by Enderman), McJones (Death by Ender Dragon Push), and Dean (Death by Enderman). It then ends by stating that only two of them (JonTron and Barry) remain, and the main episode begins.

Jon and Barry start shooting the Ender Dragon with arrows while trying not to look at anymore of the endermen that surround them. After bringing down the dragon's health significantly, Jon runs out of arrows and instead starts hitting the dragon with his sword as it swoops down. Jon lands the final hits on the Ender Dragon with his sword, which finishes off the dragon and seals the team's victory. Jon and Barry watch in excitement as the Ender Dragon dissolves in the air. As they pick up a ton of experience from the dragon, they dedicate the victory to each of their fallen brethren. Jon and Barry climb up to the portal that spawned after the Ender Dragon was killed, and they jump in together. After jumping into the portal, Jon and Barry reflect on their quest as they watch the ending.

After watching the ending of Minecraft, Jon and Barry are teleported back to the overworld. Upon their return, the two of them agree to have a duel to the death. They create a small arena to fight in, and Jon makes two more "Who Needs A Map?" jokes. Jon and Barry fight to the death, and Barry emerges as the victor.

## Trivia

* Jon and Barry's victory in defeating the Ender Dragon makes Minecraft #1 the first successful season of Hardcore. However, it was also the first ever season of PBG Hardcore, so they had never failed a Hardcore before this one either.
* Jon and Barry's duel to the death serves mostly as an Epilogue or bonus material for the season, and it generally isn't considered canon.
* At 7 minutes and 53 seconds long, this is the shortest episode of Hardcore to date.
Minecraft Hardcore - Season 2, Episode 18

**Minecraft HC #2! - Part 18 (The Great Hunt!)** is an episode in Season 2 of Minecraft Hardcore. In the episode, the guys enchant their armor, and head back to the Nether.

## Summary

Barry tries to lead a baby chicken back into the chicken pen, but it won't oblige, so PBG kills it. PBG states that all chickens deserve death, and blames the chickens for Jared and Tim's deaths. Barry wants a bit more experience, so the group goes mining for some coal. PBG points Barry towards his arch nemesis, a bat. McJones warns him against fighting the bat, and points to the last time he tried to kill one as a reason he shouldn't do so. Barry mines some coal, and the group heads back to the surface.

The group has a bunch of potions, golden apples, and more enchants and are ready to head back to the Nether to look for the wither skulls. PBG suggests that to get more experience, they could just go kill the Ender Dragon. Barry asks if that would be worth it, but McJones points ou that that was a joke. The group has enchanted all of their stuff and head back into the Nether.

In the Nether, their are Pigman on their bridge, and a Ghast shooting at them. The Ghast shoots a Pigman off of the bridge. PBG shoots at the Ghast, and the Ghast burns in lava. The group crosses their dangerous bridge. Barry builds a guardrail around the corners so that they don't fall off. The group enters the fortress, and PBG takes a Potion of Night Vision. PBG walks right into a Wither Skeleton, and Barry kills it. The group continues to kill Wither Skeletons, and Barry questions how rare the skull drop is; McJones states it's rarer than the melon seeds. The group decides that since they're geared up enough, they should split up.

McJones finds three skeletons, and fights them. PBG heads over to help McJones fight the skeletons, and Barry spots McJones and finds he's standing directly next to PBG. McJones, however, is able to kill all three of the Wither Skeletons before either PBG or Barry got there. No skulls dropped. Later, Barry spots a Wither Skeleton below where he is, and McJones is on the same level as it. Barry shoots at the Wither Skeleton, and McJones fights it with his sword. Barry runs down to help McJones, and the skeleton doesn't drop anything.

PBG suggests that they all find separate fortresses to find Wither Skeletons in. McJones points out that, despite what it seems, Nether Fortresses aren't too common. Also, they are finding Wither Skeletons in the fortress they're in, they're just not dropping their skulls. McJones suggests they sing a skeleton killing song. PBG doesn't want to sing a song, but still sings a song about not wanting to sing a song. Barry then starts singing about skeletons.

McJones finds a skull, and names it Geoffrey. PBG suggests that instead of Geoffrey, he name the skull "Stupid Stupid Dumb Dumb Head Butt Face", but McJones sticks with Geoffrey. PBG and Barry fight another Wither Skeleton, and PBG initially thinks it drops a skull, but it's just coal. The group continues hunting for Wither Skeletons, but nothing drops from any they find.
Minecraft Hardcore - Season 5, Episode 16

**Minecraft HC #5! - Part 16 (ESCAPE, ESCAPE!)** is an episode in Season 5 of Minecraft Hardcore. In the episode, PBG and Jeff attempt to escape the nether after gathering the remaining supplies they need.

## Summary

Jeff goes outside his and PBG's safe area to try to find the blaze rods McJones had before he died but finds that they already despawned. PBG tells Jeff that they can go back to the spawner in the first nether fortress to find some more blaze rods. Jeff goes back inside the safe area to grab the last few items they need from a chest while both him and PBG are attacked by blazes from outside. Jeff gives a bow and arrows to PBG, who goes outside to shoot a blaze but is nearly attacked by a wither skeleton. Jeff breaks a hole in the wall above the entrance, which he uses to attack the wither skeleton from above.

Once the coast is clear, the two run out of the chamber and escape from the nether fortress. After running across the bridge, the two follow the path of torches Jeff left previously to find their way back to the first fortress. Along the way, PBG says that he can't believe that Dean, McJones, and Ray are all dead and Jeff responds that this trip to the nether was one of the most stressful experiences he ever had in hardcore. PBG says that he thought the Nether trip would go a lot smoother, as they didn't have to get the wither skulls this time.

The two find their way back to the first nether fortress and climb their way up. They find the blaze spawner from earlier and Jeff blocks off the rest of the hallway while PBG kills the blazes inside one by one. The two stand around the spawner to farm for enough blaze rods that they don't have to return to the nether even again. The two struggle to remember how many blaze rods they need and lament the loss of Professor McJones. After getting all the blaze rods they need, the two leave the fortress and navigate through the tunnels near the entrance to the Nether. At long last, the two find the nether portal and return to the house.

## Quotes

**Jeff:** "Don't think like that. We'll talk to them one day when we die."
**PBG:** "Oh, yeah, okay. Oh wait! AAAAAHH!"

**Jeff:** "No, I was doing that torches, man."
**PBG:** "Oh, you? Well I thought it would be kind of a romantic idea to imagine Ray was guiding us from the grave with these torches."
**Jeff:** "Yeah, let's just say it was Ray."
**PBG:** "Yeah, it was Ray. Thank you, Ray."
**Jeff:** "Thanks, Ray."

Minecraft Hardcore - Season 1, Episode 4

**Minecraft HC #1! - Part 4 (DANGER DANGER!)** is an episode in Season 1 of Minecraft Hardcore. In the episode, the team continues mining for iron to make new armor, tools, and weapons.

## Summary

The team continues the mining expedition that they started in the previous episode. Austin and Dean dig together when Dean gets startled by the game's background music, not realizing it was just background music. Barry freaks out a little bit when his game crashes while he is right by the edge of a ravine, but he ends up being okay. Jon digs into a cave and finds a bunch of iron. Austin and Dean find Jon after digging into the same cave that Jon dug into, and the three of them explore the cave together.

Austin, Jon, and Dean find a large pit after going deeper into the cave. Jon tries to block off a nearby water flow and almost pushes Dean into the pit with the water by accident. Austin sees iron down in the pit and decides to go down by himself to try to get it. After going down, he gets freaked out when a creeper blows up next to him and nearly kills him. He then has a bit of a panic attack after seeing another creeper in the pit. Jon and Dean convince him to forget about the iron and come back with them. Austin falls back into the pit by accident while trying to explain to the rest of the team what happened when he was down there.

Barry meets up with Jon and Dean, and the three of them go deeper into the cave. Jon finds gold, but he freaks out when he sees a skeleton (which he calls a "skull-tan") right next to it. Austin meets back up with Jon, Dean, and Barry after coming out of the pit, and the four of them venture deeper into the cave. They stop when they find a creeper ahead of them and have no way to kill it from a distance. Austin tries to block off the creeper to keep it from getting to them, while Barry fights off another creeper and almost gets himself killed. McJones, being the only one with a bow, tries to go down and meet up with the rest of the team in the cave so they can kill the creeper, as well as other mobs, from a distance. Austin suggests that they go back and make some armor with the iron they found before going any deeper into the cave.

## Quotes

**Dean:** "Well, I want to explore with you. Leave me alone."

**Barry:** "I'm here too!"

## Trivia

* Austin's mini adventure in the pit marks the first of many instances in the season (and in Hardcore in general) where Austin wanders off and goes on an adventure by himself.

Minecraft Hardcore - Season 1, Episode 7

**Minecraft HC #1! - Part 7 (ADVENTURE!!)** is an episode in Season 1 of Minecraft Hardcore. In the episode, Austin, JonTron, Dean, McJones, and Barry set out on a journey to hunt for endermen.

## Summary

The team decides journey out and hunt for endermen after finishing their business at the house. McJones gives Austin his diamond sword since McJones already has a bow. Before leaving, the team work together to build a monument for Soah. Night falls, and the team start their journey after finishing Soah's monument. As they go, Austin states that he has a feeling not all of them will return. Later on, Austin states that they should not all walk too close together because they could all die at once if they run into a creeper. Immediately after, a creeper comes and blows up near McJones.

Jon states that it is cool that they worked up to the point where they had all this armor so they could go on this journey, and that it wasn't easy. McJones states that they lost a good man (referring to Soah) in the process. At this point, text is edited in at the top of the screen saying that they had also lost Jirard, but they weren't sure about that yet. The team decides to go to the top of a nearby mountain so they can see any endermen in the area. From the top of the mountain, they see some flat land near water (which ends up being a swamp) and head in that direction, thinking there will be endermen there.

Jon makes boats for the whole team so they can travel through the swamp more quickly. However, they quickly abandon the boats after having some trouble using them. As the sun rises, Austin sees an enderman at the top of a mountain and heads toward it, with the rest of the team following him, but it despawns before he gets there. Austin then falls off a cliff into some water after he was about to joke about jumping off. Dean, Barry, and Jon jump off the cliff immediately after. As Austin and Jon mess around with the boats, the team discuss leaving the mountain/swamp area that they are currently in and search for flatter land. Dean sees a chunk of dirt floating in the sky and calls it a floating castle.

## Trivia

* The sign on Soah's monument says: "RIP Soah, he fucked up early."
Diablo II Hardcore - Episode 8

**Diablo II HC! - Part 8 (GHOST BUSTERS!)** is an episode of Diablo II Hardcore. In the episode, the group continues through Act II.

## Summary

The group clears the way to Coldworm the Burrower, then attacks her. After killing her, the group collects the Staff of Kings. PBG gets poisoned, but doesn't notice. Jirard asks him what happened after he's no longer poisoned, and he is surprised by his lack of health. The group continues onto the next quest, "The Tainted Sun", and go out to search for the Claw Viper Temple.

While searching for the Claw Viper Temple, Paul reveals that he is inspecting for Urn Killer, so that he's really good against urns. McJones jokes that they see a lot of those in Act V, and PBG is confused, because he thought there were only 4 acts. Jirard clarified that there was an expansion that added a fifth act, but their goal only requires them to beat the fourth act. PBG decides that if they beat Act IV, they'll move onto Act V, but if they die then, the season would still count as a victory.

PBG describes a wallpaper he already saw, which he claims spoils the entire series. In the wallpaper, the barbarian is already dead, just like Barry, the Necromancer is being choked by Diablo, so Dean is going to die to him. The Amazon and Sorceress are hiding behind a pillar, so McJones is going to live. And the Paladin was about to walk outside really epically, so he's going to win. Basically, he, Jirard, and McJones are going to live, PBG is going to be epic, Jirard is going to be a bitch, and Paul just isn't there. Paul decides that he's going to be a Deus Ex Machina, and save the day.

The group enters the Claw Viper Temple. Dean thinks the enemies there look like they're from Donkey Kong, and PBG compares them to Kremlins. Dean finds a Fire Shrine, and PBG clicks on it, releasing a Fiery Death, harming everyone nearby. PBG laments that if they died there, it would've been the most anticlimactic ending to a Hardcore. The group continues down to Level 2, and Dean sets up a Town Portal just in case they need it. The group then collect the Amulet of the Viper, and return to Lut Gholein to transmute the amulet with the Staff of Kings into the Horadric Staff.

The group moves onto the fourth quest of the act, "The Arcane Sanctuary". The group enters the Harem, and make their way down to Level 2. On the second level, PBG enters a room with several Blunderbore. Going down to the Palace Cellar, PBG points out their new password "RANDBRIP", and McJones tells PBG to let the audience figure it out. PBG states that he's no longer scared anymore, and Paul says that the way to not to get scared in this game is to throw on the Ghostbusters theme. The group continues through the second level of the Palace Cellar, with an 8-bit Ghostbusters theme playing in the background. The group makes it through the third floor of the Palace Cellar, and enter the Arcane Sanctuary.

## Trivia

* "RANDBRIP" stands for Ross and Barry, Rest in Peace.
Minecraft Hardcore - Season 4, Episode 16

**Minecraft HC #4! - Part 16 (THIS IS IT!)** is an episode in Season 4 of Minecraft Hardcore. In the episode, the group takes on the Ocean Monument.

## Summary

The group arrives at an Ocean Monument. Jeff gets close enough to the monument to get Mining Fatigue, while everyone else is too far to get the effect. McJones points out that the Guardians are just the little guys, and that they are trying to kill 3 larger Elder Guardians. The group takes their potions as they plan on how to take on the monument. They decide to build a small wall outside of the monument that the can hide behind, and to kill the smaller Guardians. The group engages with the Guardians outside of the monument in an attempt to enter. They find the Guardians to be difficult to defeat, as they're numbers overwhelm them, and just attacking them deals some damage. Despite this, McJones tells them to save their arrows for the bigger guys. As they're fighting the Guardians, everyone else gets affected by the Mining Fatigue Jeff was affected with earlier.

After everyone nearly dies, they retreat temporarily to heal up, but keep on fighting. They decide that instead of trying to kill all the Guardians on the outside, they should try to enter the monument, and build up a little barricade on the inside. The group makes it under the monument, and McJones builds a wall that they can hide behind. The group continues towards the entrance of the monument, and instead of engaging with the Guardians, they build walls to hide behind so that they can't easily attack them. As they make it towards the entrance, however, they find that they are surrounded by Guardians, so they need to kill them so that they don't die.
Minecraft Hardcore - Season 5, Episode 3

**Minecraft HC #5! - Part 3 (GEARING UP!)** is an episode in Season 5 of Minecraft Hardcore. In the episode, the group returns to the house for the night to prepare for their adventures the next day.

McJones makes shears with his remaining iron while Jared climbs down from his beacon and finds iron across the river from their house. McJones cooks the food he found and shares some with Jeff. Dean finds a cave entrance and Jared and McJones follow him inside. Jared is shot by a skeleton from inside the cave and backs up while McJones is able to block the skeleton's arrows with his shield. However, he decides to retreat after seeing more mobs come near him.

The group returns back to the house for the night and PBG shares all the food he found with the rest of the team. Barry closes off the walls of the house to protect against enemies. McJones asks if anyone found any red flowers and Ray responds that he found a red poppy flower, which he carries around as an homage to his time in Achievement Hunter, which Dean picks up on. Dean and PBG make iron pickaxes and PBG shows off a leather tunic he made earlier. McJones tells him that they need to save the leather they found for books to make enchantments with but PBG responds that Arthur doesn't like to read, even though his last name is 'Read'. PBG apologizes and explains that he made the tunic earlier while he was hunting cows.

Jeff goes outside to check for daytime and sees that they still have some time before dawn. McJones makes some windows for the house so they don't have to go outside to check for day. The group starts making bed for themselves, though they don;t have enough for all of them yet. When morning arrives, the group decides to split up into separate hunting and mining parties. PBG, and Dean lead the mining party as they have the iron pickaxes and Ray and Barry join them. McJones, Jeff, and Jared stay at the house to hunt for more food, renovate the house, and create a farm. PBG starts goodbye to the other group and starts digging underneath the house.

The team make their way out of the mines together, and Jon places a few dirt blocks so they can find their way back to where they were before. Dean arrives at the house first and makes another "Who Needs A Map?" joke, while Austin mentions that he misses Soah and that they'll never know how he died because he was off by himself. The team regroup back at the house and smelt the iron they mined to make some new iron armor for everyone. Jon makes a chest for the team to put their valuables in (such as food, iron, and gold) so they don't lose it.

After crafting some new armor, tools, and weapons for everyone, the team splits up again. Jon and McJones venture out to find more food, while Austin, Dean, and Barry return to the caves to continue mining. Before going back into the cave, the mining group fight off a creeper that they encounter in the mineshaft they dug. McJones explains the next few steps of the quest to the rest of the team after Jon asks what they need to do. They need to find more iron to make full sets of armor for the whole team, so they can survive both in the Nether and while hunting Endermen. They also need to find diamond to make a diamond pickaxe so they can mine obsidian and make a Nether portal.

Austin, Dean, and Barry slowly make their way through the mines to the section of the cave they were in before they left. Dean gets chased by a creeper as they head down. It blows up on Dean and Barry, but their new armor keeps them from taking a lot of damage. Barry fights off another creeper as he, Austin, and Dean return to where they were in the cave before. Dean mines some redstone and tries to get some water to flow onto a nearby pool of lava. Austin makes his way into another section of the cave, where he gets shot by a skeleton and almost falls into lava. He blocks off the lava with cobblestone and warns Dean and Barry about it. Austin gets set on fire when he accidentally touches some lava while trying to block off a lava flow. He loses about half of his health before putting out the flames in a nearby water flow.

Minecraft Hardcore - Season 3, Episode 8

**Minecraft HC #3! - Part 8 (ZOMBEES!)** is an episode in Season 3 of Minecraft Hardcore. In the episode, the group searches for a village.

## Summary

PBG and Shane are heading home, and lament on how Jon likely died because he didn't have Iron armor. They get to the house, and fight off a few mobs before entering. PBG points out that he doesn't have a full armor set yet, and he crafts the final pieces he needs to have one. At daybreak, PBG counts the remaining players. McJones had started a reed farm so that they're able to make bookshelves for enchanting. Smoot McGroove had collected excessive amounts of obsidian, just in case there's an accident where they'd need more obsidian.

Smooth McGroove finally builds the Nether Portal, and Jared lights up the portal. PBG asks if they're ready to go to the Nether; despite the portal being made, they aren't. Jared goes through the portal to see if it's safe on the other side. He finds that it's on a bed of soulsand, but besides that, it's safe. McJones decides that to get enough bookcases, they need to pilfer a village. PBG wants to go to the Nether to get XP, but everyone else wants to find a village. Jared makes a compass, and the group heads off to find a village. PBG and Smooth McGroove fall into Smooth McGroove's mineshaft, and Jared warns the group of a ravine up ahead.

The group kills some cows and pigs, and McJones tells the group that he wants to get a bucket of milk for everyone so that they can stop the wither affect. The group tries to cross the ocean, and PBG separates from them, trying to get XP, because he's confused on their current goal. PBG gets lost, but finds the group before getting lost again.
