Minecraft Hardcore - Season 5, Episode 20

**Minecraft HC #5! - Part 20 (BAD OMEN!!)** is an episode in Season 5 of Minecraft Hardcore. In the episode, PBG and Jeff continue their hunt for endermen, finding an area with pink sheep.

## Summary

Jeff is knocked into a creeper's explosion after attacking a zombie and takes half his health of damage. PBG tries to find the enderman he saw earlier but is unable to find it and the two return to their boat, circling the island one more time before leaving. PBG spots a large cave entrance nearby and the two get off their boat to check it out. While looking around the surrounding mountains, PBG finds another enderman. The two kill it and find another ender pearl, however PBG's shield breaks in the process. PBG makes himself a new shield after some trial and error and the two leave the mountains and sail around until nighttime.

After night falls, PBG and Jeff find two endermen along the shore and kill them, both dropping a pearl. PBG is attacked by three skeletons while a creeper explodes on Jeff while he is stuck underneath a tree, bringing him to one and and half hearts of health. Jeff decides to make a couple furnaces so the two can cook some more food when PBG finds a pink sheep, joking that it's a sheep trying to be a pig. PBG and Jeff find another pink sheep and PBG compares it to something from a creepy kid's show and gets creeped out by them. The two cook their pork chops and mutton in the furnaces and PBG tells Jeff that the fake pigs are bad omens and that they should leave. Jeff responds that they can leave once he is healed up when he suddenly hears a creeper sneak up behind the two of them. Jeff tries to warn PBG but the creeper explodes before PBG can react, killing him instantly while Jeff screams in horror.

A devastated Jeff starts sorting through PBG's belongings, starting with his ender pearls. Jeff questions PBG on why he wasn't healed, however a flashback to PBG's perspective shows that he was at full health before being killed by the creeper. Jeff runs into an enderman, as well as a spider and a couple zombies. He then angrily kills the pink sheep, since PBG was right about them being a bad omen. Jeff fights and kills the enderman he saw earlier, but takes a lot of damage and is nearly blown up by a creeper himself. Jeff then picks up the pink wool from the sheep he killed so he can use it for PBG's gravestone, and welcomes the audience to his solo let's play of Minecraft.

## Quotes

**Jeff:** "Okay, we'll get out of here. I need to heal first though... *creeper hisses in the background* Watch out!"
**PBG:** "WAAAAAGH!"

Minecraft Hardcore - Season 3, Episode 4

**Minecraft HC #3! - Part 4 (LAVA HOUSE!)** is an episode in Season 3 of Minecraft Hardcore. In the episode, Jon upgrades the house with the hottest new designs.

## Summary

PBG and Shane are cutting down tall grass in a field they are exploring. McJones finds a cooked steak from a cow that committed Seppuk Moo by jumping into lava. PBG and Shane find some chickens, and begin to lead them back to the house with seeds. While bringing the chickens back, PBG accidentally breeds two of them. However, it starts getting dark, and some chickens are refusing to follow them, so PBG and Shane build a shelter around the chickens, and return home.

Back at the house, Jon adds a pillar of lava to the center of the house. Everyone in the house immediately tells him that that's a bad idea. However, when PBG gets back, he declares the lava in the house okay. Dean decides to remove one of the cobblestone preventing the lava from flowing, which scares everyone. McJones goes to build his own house, and Jared suggests they at least surround the lava with glass. Everyone else beside PBG and Jon go and join McJones' new house, and Jon thanks PBG for staying, because he worked hard on the lava pillar.

Everyone goes outside to fight enemies. McJones expands his house to connect it with the other house, since it can't be set on fire due to being built out of Cobblestone. Dean discovers Smooth McGroove's mineshaft. PBG and Jared continue fighting zombies, and Dean tries killing some skeletons in hope of them dropping their bow. Throughout the night, the group fights countless Creepers. Come morning, Jared asks who wants a bow, and decides to give it to someone by throwing it at everyone from the roof. Shane is the one who ultimately catches it. PBG decides to go back to get the chickens they found earlier.

**Minecraft HC #4! - Part 18 (RETURN TO THE TEMPLE!)** is an episode in Season 4 of Minecraft Hardcore. In the episode, the group returns to the Ocean Monument in order to slay the Elder Guardians.

## Summary

Jeff, PBG, and Dean are fishing for pufferfish. PBG and Jeff give their pufferfish to Dean to bring to McJones, and Dean claims that he had caught all of them. McJones decides that they've caught enough fish, so PBG and Jeff stop fishing. McJones had been making potions as the others were fishing, and he reveals that along with the Night Vision and Water Breathing potions they were using before, he also made Potions of Speed so that they don't get swarmed as easily. The fishermen cook the fish they fished up, and McJones tells them to make additional chestplates to get more enchantments. Everyone takes 4 of each of the potions McJones made, and McJones take the additional potions with him.

The group heads back to the Ocean Monument they were at earlier. On their way there, Dean's boat breaks, and Jeff gives him another one. McJones think that they're going the wrong way, but they continue going in the direction they're going, and they find the Ocean Monument. At the Ocean Monument, everyone drinks their potions, and they head down to the monument. They rush in, down the same path they went down earlier, while killing Guardians when necessary. They duck in the shelters they had built earlier so that they don't have to engage with the Guardians as much. The entrance is surrounded by Guardians, but the group rushes towards the entrance. They need to kill some of the Guardians, but they are all able to enter the monument with their lives.

The group heals up, and then they swim up to the next floor of the monument to begin their search for the Elder Guardians. The group quickly finds the first Elder Guardian, and take him on. While fighting the boss, PBG is brought down to a heart in a half, so he builds a barricade to protect himself. Dean also gets down to a heart in a half. Dean and PBG heal upp as McJones targets the boss, and Jeff targets various Guardians. The group then targets the boss, building barricades so that they can close in on him.

## Summary

After splitting off from the rest of the group, the four start digging down in hopes of finding a cave. PBG and Ray start digging on one side while Dean and Barry start digging on the other. PBG is determined to find more resources than the other group, since he doesn't even know what they're doing. PBG hears a zombie and digs into a cave and blocks it off some they can come back later while Dean finds iron. Dean accidentally gets himself stuck in the mineshaft due to building the staircase too high for him to jump on. PBG helps him fix his staircase but briefly gets stuck himself. Dean also finds a cave entrance and the four decide to explore it, with Barry building stairs for an easy escape if necessary. PBG digs into the cave entrance and builds a stone staircase down inside.

Ray goes back up the house to the iron they found and finds Jeff, McJones and Jared inside.

RubberRoss

Ross's Face Icon

**Ross O'Donovan**, also known by his internet name "**RubberRoss**", is a guest that appeared in DayZ and Diablo II. He is known for his somewhat goofy personality.

## History

### DayZ

Ross made his Hardcore debut in DayZ. Despite being very unfamiliar with the game, Ross outlives the majority of the cast, in a similar fashion to Dean in Minecraft #1. Ross starts the season wandering around by himself for a while. He eventually finds Jared, and the two make their way to Elektrozavodsk together. Before they go into Elektrozavodsk, the two of them stop at a dock, where Ross's controls partially lock up, making him temporarily unable to turn. Once they go inside Elektrozavodsk, they run into some players and follow them temporarily before losing them when the game glitches out. Ross's inexperience shows when he finds a gun, but can't figure out how to shoot a zombie with it, and instead just throws glowsticks. While trying to figure out how to shoot his gun, Ross attracts the attention of another zombie, who attacks him multiple times and kills him. Despite dying in the third episode of the season, Ross is the second-to-last player to die, outlasting everyone except for Jared.

### Diablo II

Ross made his second Hardcore appearance in Diablo II, where he played as an Assassin. He was killed off fairly early by a bunch of bone mages when the group was close to finishing Act 1.

## Trivia

* Despite participating in two seasons, Ross only appears in a grand total of seven episodes across the entire series (three in DayZ and four in Diablo II). This puts him behind only Soah as the Hardcore player with the lowest number of appearances.
Terraria Hardcore - Season 3, Episode 18

**Terraria HC #3! - Part 18 (MINING FOR METEOR!)** is an episode in Season 3 of Terraria Hardcore. In the episode, the group mines the fallen meteorite for ore.

## Summary

The group starts heading to the right to search for where the meteor landed. The group passes through the desert and enters the jungle biome, which McJones explains is similar to the desert in terms of difficultly. PBG sees a pit with a snatcher at the bottom and McJones finds a chest with another umbrella inside which Dean picks up. PBG finds an entrance to the underground jungle but McJones tells him that they shouldn't go down until later. The group continues through the jungle and McJones finds another chest with a radar inside while Dean and PBG chase a worm and a frog for bait.

McJones finds the meteor and explains that meteor heads will start spawning once they enter the biome and it is possible to burn to death by touching the meteor. Lucah tosses a glowstick into the large lake next to the meteor which McJones swims for before getting attacked by a piranha and retreating. McJones tells Dean that he has to be the one to mine the meteorite since he is the only one with a pickaxe strong enough to break it and the rest of the group is in charge of defending him.

McJones builds a rope down to the meteor while meteor heads begin attacking the group. Dean goes down to start mining the meteor with PBG and McJones joining him while Lucah and Luke fight the meteor heads spawning above ground. Dean tells the others to widen out the hole the are in which Lucah and PBG joke about before McJones reminds them to take thing more seriously. PBG mines the dirt above them while Luke, Dean, McJones, and PBG talk about their time in Denton, Texas. A message pops up saying that Lucah has killed the 50th meteor head, which briefly freaks out the group. PBG tries to mine some iron next to him but fails to notice that he is repeatedly jumping into a meteorite block and burns to death.

McJones and Dean climb out of the hole immediately after PBG dies. Dean yells that PBG died from touching the wall of the meteorite as McJones goes down to grab his things. McJones sorts sorting through PBG items while Lucah goes down to grab the rest. Lucah tells McJones that he is the only experienced player left and Dean worries about what will happen if he dies. Dean goes back to mining meteorite with McJones and Luke standing guard next to him. After collecting enough meteorite, Luke tries to dig down to a chest but is a attacked by several meteor heads and McJones decides to bomb his way to the chest instead. After Luke loots the chest, the group uses their recall potions and returns home.

## Quotes

**Lucah:** "A whole new hole?"
*PBG laughs*
**Lucah and PBG:** *singing* "A whole new hole!"

**Lucah:** "I will share."
**Dean:** "Coming from the dude that got ten gold from a chest-"
*PBG burns to death*
**PBG:** "WHAT!?"

**Lucah:** "Don't blame me! I stopped talking about the hole and then everyone went into the Texas conversation!"

Minecraft Hardcore - Season 4, Episode 7

**Minecraft HC #4! - Part 7 (BURGERS FOR EVERYONE!)** is an episode in Season 4 of Minecraft Hardcore. In the episode, Jeff works on the farm, McJones finally gets to start fishing, Barry sheers sheep, Dean and Caddy strip mine, and PBG kills various animals.

## Summary

After the battle in the previous episode, the group compares levels. McJones is level 11, PBG is level 15, and Caddy is level 5. PBG gives McJones his string, and Dean tries to get McJones to give him his bow so that he can repair his. Jeff is waiting for it to be day so that he can work on the farm. Barry questions whether or not they've made shears or not; when he learns that they hadn't, he makes them, and puts himself on sheep sheering duty. PBG says that he can't do anything until they get food, because he's at low hunger, and Caddy reveals he has 4 steaks. Caddy gives some food to other players so that they can fill their hunger, and McJones points out that they can use rotten flesh for food if they really need it.

In the morning, Jeff, Dean, Caddy, and PBG head over to the farm, Barry goes sheep sheering, and McJones begins fishing. Jeff harvests a few fully grown crops, and replants their seeds, while Dean teaches Caddy how to strip mine. PBG cuts down some trees. PBG asks what their next goal is, and McJones explains that they need to go to the nether to collect a Blaze Rod, and some Nether Wart, for potion making. Dean digs into a Silverfish, which he is afraid is going to kill him. Dean switches mines with Caddy, forcing him to deal with the Silverfish. PBG goes to kill the rabbits, and McJones reiterates that there is a rabbit that will attack you. PBG finds Barry, and PBG suggests they go to the Nether ASAP, only to hear objections from Barry and Dean, with Deean's reasoning being that they need to get a good amount of food first. PBG kills the sheep that Barry had sheered, and Barry goes to create a bedroom. Dean runs out of torches, and realizes that he hit bedrock. Dean and Caddy find some iron, and PBG finds some pigs. PBG finds some cows by the farm and attempts to fence them in, but can't figure out how to make a fence. At nighttime, PBG goes to cook the meat he's collected, and Barry had made beds, so they can sleep.

## Trivia

* PBG references the 1957 Merrie Melodies short "What's Opera Doc" while killing the rabbits, by singing "Kill the Wabbit".
JonTron

JonTron's Face Icon

**Jonathan Jafari**, more commonly known by his YouTube name "**JonTron**", is a YouTuber and co-founder of the website Normal Boots, as well as a guest on Hardcore. He has appeared in Minecraft #1, DayZ, Terraria #1, and Minecraft #3. Jon is known for his energetic and rude personality, but he has good intentions.

## History

### Minecraft #1

Jon made his Hardcore debut in the first ever season of PBG Hardcore, where he played as Donald Duck. Jon was probably the most on-edge of the whole cast this season, getting very easily frightened in the face of danger. Because of this, he often seemed to serve as comic relief along with Dean a lot of the time, and the rest of the cast appeared to enjoy making fun of him a lot of the time. Jon also appeared to enjoy being creative in this season. Early on in the season, when Austin, Dean, and McJones were out hunting for food, Jon renovated the house and built a new, less confusing mineshaft, and later on, he renovated the team's new house to make it look like a castle, which everybody else enjoyed making fun of.

Despite being fairly scared a lot of the time, Jon did very well in this season. He was one of the two players to survive and defeat the Ender Dragon, the other being Barry. Upon returning to the overworld, the two of them had a duel to the death, with Barry emerging as the victor.

### DayZ

Like the majority of the cast of DayZ, Jon doesn't last long. He spent the majority of his time in the season by himself, trying to find the Balota airstrip area where Austin, Dean, and Barry were located. Once he found the place, he joined Austin and Dean as they tried to run away from zombies. They tried to lose the zombies by going to the roof of the control tower and climbing down, but their plan backfired and they got cornered when a zombie climbed up the ladder and blocked their escape, in addition to the zombies coming from the stairs. Austin glitched through the railing on the edge of the roof and fell to his death. Jon glitched through the same railing and fell off the building as well. He survived the fall, but got killed by zombies seconds later. Jon was the third to die in the season, and only lasted until nearly the end of the first episode.

### Terraria #1

While Jon, Austin, and Jeff were fighting enemies at night, Jon got stuck in a corner by a Demon Eye, who hit him multiple times and eventually killed him.

### Minecraft #3

Jon played as Dunkin Donuts guy. While heading back to the base at night with Austin and Shane, Jon got poisoned by a witch, which brought his health down significantly. He ran into the water when a skeleton appeared, he tried to fight it but he was then shot and killed by the skeleton.

Dean goes outside to farm for arrows and is attacked by a "wiggly squiggly". Jeff, Ray, and McJones run outside to help him kill it and fight another zombie and a spider while PBG also fights a group of zombies by himself, some of them wearing leather and gold armor.

PBG also sees a witch and escapes to the top of the mountain. Ray, McJones and Dean fight two more skeletons for arrows when PBG finally returns to the house. PBG builds a 64 block high tower of gravel and breaks it for flint. McJones and Dean yell at him for hoe stupidly dangerous his plan is, but he manages to get down safely. PBG makes himself a shovel and puts all the feathers he found in the chest and continues placing and digging up gravel for flint with Ray.

Minecraft Hardcore - Season 2, Episode 17

**Minecraft HC #2! - Part 17 (Beautiful Music!)** is an episode in Season 2 of Minecraft Hardcore. In the episode, the guys find some watermelons, escape the mineshaft, and sing some beautiful music.

## Summary

The group is searching for Watermelon Seeds, but can't find any in any of the chests. Barry finds a chest but he hears a bunch of Cave Spiders, so he decides to take things carefully. McJones decides to just charge blindly through. On his way to the chest, Barry walks past a Cave Spider Spawner. PBG helps take out some spiders, and both he and Barry get poisoned. McJones takes out the spawner, and Barry loots the chest, which only contains a diamond. The group continues searching, and quickly loop back to the taken out Spawner. They explore the cave the Spawner was in, and discover another part of the Mineshaft.

Barry finds some melon seeds, but he wasn't recording. Barry starts recording, and they reenact Barry finding the melon seeds. The group then starts to find their way back home. Since they can't find their way out of the Mineshaft, they dig up. The group emerges in what they deem the Field of Promise, and PBG begins singing about said field. The group heads to the nearby desert, and McJones threatens to murder PBG, but Barry tells PBG not to listen to him, and begins to suck up to PBG again by telling him he likes his music.

The group gets back onto Barry's map, and the group finds a beacon they had previously built. The group follows Barry through what PBG deems the Woods of Promise, and PBG begins singing about said woods. The group makes it back to their house. PBG continues to sing his "Field of Promise" song, and Barry continues to suck up to him. McJones tells PBG to stop singing, because he's going to literally punch him, so he stops. Barry goes to start a potato farm.

McJones asks who wants the Sharpness IV Sword, and PBG sarcastically claims that he likes his Bane of Arthropods sword. PBG asks if his Infinity book is any good, and McJones points out that that's a bow thing, and that it's awesome. PBG doesn't have enough experience to enchant his bow with Infinity, so he goes to kill some monsters. Barry also wants to gain some levels, so he goes to join PBG, and McJones joins as well. McJones goes to enchant a Sword with Sharpness IV, and to name it Dean, but he doesn't have nearly enough experience. PBG enchants his Bow with Infinity, and gives his arrows to McJones.

## Summary

PBG enters the Nether while describing the castle Jon made around the Nether Portal in the first season. PBG notices that he's on a floating island of soul sand. PBG, Shane, and Smooth McGroove try to figure out where to go while McJones tries to get his dogs into the Nether. PBG bridges out to a nearby landmass. PBG tries to dig up through some netherrack, but realizes he doesn't have a pickaxe. Smooth McGroove gives PBG his pickaxe, and he mines a path up. PBG can't find a Nether Fortress. Smooth McGroove is mining through Netherrack. McJones tells everyone to leave a path so that he knows how to find them, then PBG finds a Fortress, and McJones is dissapointed when he's told they won't have to build a bridge. Smooth McGroove's tunnel also leads straight towards the Fortress.

The group decides to go to the fortress through Smooth McGroove's tunnel, and McJones is still attempting to get his dogs in the Nether. McJones comments that the main reason he's having trouble getting the dogs in the Nether is Jon's structure being poorly built. McJones is told to abandon his project with the dogs, and Shane and Smooth McGroove work towards blocking the flow of lava so that they can enter he Fortress. PBG also tries to block off some lava, but ends up making the lava situation worse. Smooth McGroove finishes blocking off the lava, and one of McJones' dogs drowns. PBG tells everyone to not place too many torches.

MineZ Hardcore (Season 1)

**MineZ #1** is the first season of MineZ Hardcore and the eighth season of Hardcore overall. The season features PBG, SpaceHamster, Brutalmoose, ProJared, Dean, McJones, and Barry. The goal of the season was to defeat a Giant.

## Trivia

* This is the first season of Hardcore in which the team splits up into different groups and the players can only communicate with the other players in their group. Players that are not in the current group that is being shown, but have not been confirmed dead, have a question mark over their face icon.
* Because the team is split up into different groups for most of the season, the order in which the players' deaths are shown in the season is different from the actual order of their deaths. For example, Austin is the last player to die in the season, but his death is shown before Jeff, Ian, and Barry's deaths. This was done because Austin's death was anticlimactic, and Jeff thought the Giant fight was fit for the end.
	+ As such, this is the only season to have the players' deaths shown out of order.
* On May 11, 2019, this season, along with all other seasons featuring ProJared, were privated on PBGGameplay, following Jared's cheating scandal, and accusations of sexual misconduct. These seasons were later unprivated on August 30, 2019.

## Trivia

* This season features numerous changes from previous Hardcore seasons:
	+ Todd replaces Jeff as the editor of the series.
	+ An original theme song is composed for the series by Josiah McDaniel.
	+ The icons for each player are replaced by portraits drawn by Krooked Glasses. Each player also has a "dead" portrait which is now shown when they die, instead of their faces getting crossed out with a red "X".
	+ New overlay and sidebar graphics and animations are added.
	+ The video descriptions now feature short bios of each player.
	+ The end slates and next episode previews have been redesigned.
	+ The font used in the Hardcore logo has been changed.

Dean mines a large vein of coal, while Austin goes deeper into the cave and mines some redstone. Jon and McJones return home, and Jon complains about Dean putting cobblestone in the important chest and puts up a sign above the important chest that says "Important stuff only... ...Dean...". McJones makes himself pants from the leather he and Jon found while hunting.

Austin suggests that the team start hunting for Endermen once they all get full armor, and he says that he thinks at least one or two of them will die when they do so. Jon cooks the food that he and McJones gathered, while McJones goes on a brief mining trip and finds diamond, along with some redstone. Austin digs into a cave with an underground lake inside.

Minecraft Hardcore - Season 4, Episode 8

**Minecraft HC #4! - Part 8 (GOOD LADDER, BRO!)** is an episode in Season 4 of Minecraft Hardcore. In the episode, the group goes to collect obsidian to be able to build a Nether Portal.

## Summary

PBG puts the mutton he collected in the previous episode into a furnace. Dean goes to bed, then goes AFK; Barry and Jeff go to bed afterwards. PBG fills up on some mutton, then goes to bed, and chooses to sleep next to Barry. PBG asks who is missing as McJones also goes to bed, and Jeff asks if it's Caddy. Caddy tries to avoid going to bed by making the excuse that he needs to make new tools, but PBG insists it's time to go to bed. Caddy insists that he doesn't want to go to bed, and throws a tantrum. Caddy eventually goes to bed once Jeff reminds him that PBG has the Diamond Sword, and therefore, is in charge. After waking up, Caddy goes to make the tools he was making beforehand.

Jeff heads over to the farm to fence in the cows, and warns everyone that there's a witch right above the door. PBG goes to take it out by himself, but can't find it, so he builds a diving board instead. McJones kills another lonely Creeper on the lonely island, wasting all his arrows in the process. Jeff fences in the cows, as McJones attempts to make a separate chest for food. PBG jumps off his diving board, and finds that the water wasn't as deep as he originally thought. PBG suggests they go to the nether, but McJones points out that they need to get obsidian first. PBG tells McJones that they're going to get obsidian, and Dean decides that he's going with them. PBG proclaims that only kings can use his diving bored, and that only he and Caddy can use it. McJones and Dean object, because PBG doesn't even know that they're not kings.

MccJones, Dean, PBG, Caddy, and Barry all go down into the mines. On their way down, PBG jumps into a hole McJones dug out earlier, and Dean follows. The group gets lost looking for where they need to be to get obsidian, and Jeff decides that he wants to join them in the mines. Barry and PBG decide to split off from everyone else in hopes of finding diamonds. McJones finds some obsidian, and Dean and Caddy defend him as he digs some up. After mining a piece of obsidian, it falls into lava. PBG and Barry find another patch of obsidian, and find that they're near the other group. PBG builds a bridge over to the other group, as Barry mines some obsidian. Jeff finds Dean and Caddy in a ravine, and tries to build ladder down to them, however, one ladder refuses to be placed, trapping Jeff on the ladder below to one. Caddy tries swimming up a waterfall to help him, but PBG tells him not to. Dean tries building up to help Jeff, and places a block, which Jeff attempts to fall onto. However, before Jeff lands on it, Dean mines it, leaving Jeff to fall.
Napoleonic Wars HC

**Napoleonic Wars Hardcore** was part of a discontinued series named Hardcore Shorts and was the only game featured in the series. It features four seasons and are the fifth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth seasons of Hardcore respectively. The four seasons/attempts featured PBG, Shane, SpaceHamster, Brutalmoose, Dean, McJones and Barry. The goal of the season was to simply play until you died which makes this the only hardcore where there is no possible way to actually win.

## Trivia

* Despite featuring the same players, game and even in-game names, the two episodes were uploaded with almost a whole year's difference
* The first episode features just the first series which is by far the more successful attempt, lasting around 10 minutes. The other three series were so short that they were able to fit all into the second episode.
* Judging by the intro, it seems that Hardcore Shorts would have featured more games, specifically multiplayer first person shooters, however Hardcore Shorts has yet to return and has most likely been discontinued.
* Despite having the least knowledge of the game, Shane managed to be the last player standing twice.
* Contrary to popular belief, the first series of Napoleonic Wars is the first time Brutalmoose and Shane are featured in a series of Hardcore.

### Minecraft #1

Soah's only appearance in Hardcore was in Minecraft #1, where he played as Jim Raynor from StarCraft.

He was also fairly knowledgeable about the game, and he helped some of the less experienced players, such as Dean and Jirard, in learning the mechanics of the game.

Despite his knowledge of the game, Soah did not last long. In Episode 2, Soah decided to dig down in an effort to find obsidian. While doing so, he found coal and decided to mine that first. However, he accidentally mined into lava and burned to death. Soah was the second player to die, but his death was the first from actual in-game causes (since Jirard was declared dead after going AFK). Soah's death was off-screen, but he made a video on his YouTube channel which explained how he died in more detail.

## Quotes

### Minecraft #1

**Soah:** "Uh, you click it."
**Dean:** "What do you mean you click it?"

## Trivia

* Soah has the least screen time of any player in PBG Hardcore History, having only appeared in two episodes of the entire series.
* Soah's death in Minecraft #1 marks the first death in PBG Hardcore history that occurred from regular in-game causes (since Jirard went AFK and was declared dead after missing significant time in the season).
* Soah's death was off-screen. He made a re-enactment on his Youtube channel showing how he died. Link
* Soah has gone the longest out of everyone without participating.
Minecraft Hardcore - Season 2, Episode 10

**Minecraft HC #2! - Part 10 (Nether Bridges!)** is an episode in Season 2 of Minecraft Hardcore. In the episode, the group enters the Nether.

## Summary

Jared tries to explain why he deserves a diamond sword by describing what he went through to get the diamond. PBG disagrees with his reasoning, stating that he never consulted the group, and he calls for another execution. Jared points out that there's still an extra bow, so PBG takes it and some arrows. Jared points out that they're lacking feathers for arrows, and the group tries to search for all the feathers and arrows they have. Professor McJones then explains that at half health, the Wither will have a lightning shield looking thing around him, which at that point, he will be immune to arrows. Jared then hands out arrows to those that desperately need them.

PBG decides that they should go to the Nether now, and that they should put the Nether Portal on the roof. McJones points out that entities such as Ghasts can go through the Nether Portal now, which prompts PBG to add a ceiling to the part of the roof they're building the Nether Portal. Barry prepares the area they're building the Nether Portal in. McJones suggests that they enchant things before entering the Nether. As the group prepares to enter the Nether, an Enderman teleports around the roof, scaring everyone, but it isn't agroed on anyone. McJones lights the Nether Portal, and enters the Nether. PBG follows him, and McJones tells them that the Nether is moderately, which prompts everyone else to enter.

The Nether Portal leads the group to a small island made of Netherrack, above a sea of lava. The group builds a small fort out of cobblestone around them. Barry spots a Nether Fortress, and after some arguing with McJones on which direction to build a bridge, starts building a bridge. McJones heads back through the portal to get some cobblestone to build the bridge with. When McJones returns, he takes over the bridge building project, and Barry directs him towards the fortress. As they're building the bridge, PBG notices a Ghast near their portal, prompting him to tell the people widening the bridge to forget about safety, and to just run.

The group escapes the Ghast after bridging over to some Netherrack near the fortress. The group builds up to the fortress, and McJones kills a blaze so that the can get a blaze rod for potion brewing. PBG encounters a Wither Skeleton, which gives him the Wither effect. After killingthe skeleton with Barry's help, PBG questions the effect, and McJones explains that it's like poison, but it can kill you. A blaze then attacks them, but Jared kills it.

Minecraft Hardcore - Season 4, Episode 10

**Minecraft HC #4! - Part 10 (PIGMAN PARTY!)** is an episode in Season 4 of Minecraft Hardcore. In the episode, Caddy, Barry, and Dean search for soul sand.

## Summary

After McJones hits a pigman, Jeff tries to block them off but fails. The pigmen target McJones, and he thinks he's going to die until he can block them off. Jeff, Dean, and Barry notice the pigmen are only targeting McJones, but they're still attacking PBG and Caddy, who are away from everyone else. Barry places down some lava, separating Jeff and Dean from the group. After PBG and Caddy meet up with everyone else, Barry removes the lava, allowing everyone to meet up with each other again. McJones kills the last Pigman attacking him, and the group then decides to leave. On their way back to the portal, they get ambushed by a ghast, but they're able to kill it before it kills anyone. However, Dean and McJones are brought to low health. The group then make there way to the portal, and leave the Nether with everyone alive. They all go to bed.

In the morning, PBG asks Professor McJones what they're doing now, which he explains that they need to farm the Nether Wart they just got. They then realize that they forgot soul sand, so they need to return to the Nether. Dean, Barry, and Caddy head back into the Nether to retrieve soul sand. Jeff asks what they will be doing as they're off in the nether, and McJones explains that they need sand. PBG and Jeff decide to go on a boating adventure together to find sand. Barry suggests that they search for soul sand in the fortress they were just in, since there's probably soul sand there. On there way to the fortress, Dean, Barry, and Caddy get ambushed by a ghast.

Jeff builds a dock for their boats, and he and PBG start going on a boating expedition. McJones then asks where all the iron is, and PBG realizes that it's in his inventory, so he returns to return the iron. PBG and Jeff sail out again, and Jeff makes sure PBG knows what direction they're sailing in, but PBG's boat breaks. Jeff gives PBG another boat, but it sinks to the bottom of the ocean, so they dock on shore to build PBG another boat. Back in the Nether, Barry gets withered by a Wither Skeleton, then while at low health, a Wiggly Squiggly Pigman ambushes him, killing him in a single hit. Caddy and Dean then flee the fortress without getting any of Barry's stuff, or any Soul Sand. PBG wonders how to get out of his boat, which he doesn't even understand. PBG and Jeff enter the Nether to help Dean and Caddy.
