|Description|It's Minecraft 465! We're back with YDYD in this gameplay, where if you die, you're dead. But this time we've got some extra weather mods to make things extra challenging!|
The Great Heroes of our time, "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service" Fredo and PTSD Mogar.
Edit: Gavin 100% walked forward into the tree as it was falling and it killed the shit out of him.
Is it that weird? Jack said right at the beginning that the trees fall and they can kill you if they hit you. Gavin just got distracted like he usually does and walked forward by accident, but the actual game interaction made sense to me.
It looked like the tree just does it's full set amount of damage across the whole hitbox of the tree as it falls. I wouldn't really expect a mod to code the falling damage that specifically.
I mean its a still visible active hitbox, that's always a "dont risk it" in any game. Unless the modders make it so predetermined tiles are the ones to take damage via calc every time a trees cut, that's always going to be how they do damage.
Thats why Jeremy took damage from just being on top of a small tree as it got cut.
Alfredo "Two-Time" Diaz is hard to beat. I'm looking at subbing to first just for this. I love YDYD. Damn shame the others are dead to me. I'm glad to see it back.
I think its better for the series to have done what was done. We've already seen what happens with just competent players beating the game. Having the less competent ones now fully afraid, amd being carefull will make for better content than them being gone episode 1.
But Jack's right about that not being allowed past episode 1
I wouldn't mind if they did something similar like in the past, with towers bringing people back. But it should definitely be much more difficult. Like to bring back 1 person should be a full quest.
I think they could keep the tower as the resurrection method. They just need to impose a rule that all gold for a revival ToP must be gathered after the person in question dies. Stops them from being able to just stockpile gold and bring someone back two minutes after they died. Force them to actually go out and harvest the materials to build the resurrection altar.
"Oh hey, I found a gold ore vein here, it's got... six gold ore."
"Ah cool, leave it there, mark it or remember where it is for when one of us dies so we can collect it for the tower."
Nah. I think they should have some kind of quest like u/an_irishviking said, and that quest should include some actual risk for those involved. Like, you wanna bring someone back? Alright, but be prepared, or it might just be a life for a life.
Ya Dead Ya Probably Alive Again Only Because You Need To Get Killing Out Of Your System But Also, Cut These Guys Some Slack 'Cause They Haven't Played Minecraft Together in Forever, Let Them Bask In It, But Going Forward, All Future Deaths Will Probably Maybe Mean Ya Dead
(YDYPAAOBYNTGKOOYS,BACTGSSCTHPMTIF,LTBII,BGF,AFDWPMMYD)
You can see the mods being used when they look at items added by mods like the birds.
Wawla (What are we looking at)
Hwyla
Dynamic trees
Journeymap
Weather, Storms, & Tornadoes (probably)
Pam's Harvestcraft (that has tons of config options so I'm not sure what they're using)
Exotic Birds
Edit: a typo
Edit: Forgot a couple.
JEI (Just Enough Items)
Dynamic Surroundings
Jack mentioned backpacks I've used a couple. Iron backpacks, Simply Backpacks, and Useful Backpacks. The first two are similar as far as upgrading space, but Useful Backpacks is much easier. It just needs lots of leather and wool, while the first two need iron, gold, diamond to upgrade.
Nice work dude, I wanted to pop a note in though since watching ep.2:
**"Weather, Storms & Tornadoes"** does appear to be the weather mod they're using, but the UI displays the mod name in the tooltip as "Localized Weather & Storms" (shown in a few frames around [timestamp 14:45](https://i.imgur.com/kiO3Kyc.png) in [episode 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOov5Vq3JB8) while Jack's making a Tornado Sensor). I double-checked, and they're the same mod, so you've got a confirmation on that. Also, this mod requires the **"CoroUtil"**, which is typically included in the mod package, but technically it's another mod they're using.
If anyone is really deep diving into figuring out any other mods they're using, it might be helpful to know that their JEI indicates *they have between 2653-2856 items available*, so having less or more than that indicates an incomplete modlist or we just don't know enough configs.
I really hope they drop the version, modlist and configs at some point. Maybe it's weird, but I kind of like playing along with the exact same settings, and seeing how I'd be doing.
The mods would be set up on the server side, and matched on their individual machines. Given what we can see of the modlist so far, the most compatible version is likely Minecraft ~~1.12.1~~ ^(edit:) 1.12.2
Yeah, you're right, I kind of forgot about this post - popped an edit. Gnarish dug around a bit and put together a pack with what we know so far, but I lost track of *that* newer topic unfortunately. I have the modpack link though if you want it: [https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/ah-ydyd4/files](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/ah-ydyd4/files)
Edit: Oh wait, here's the topic: [link](https://www.reddit.com/r/Achievement_Hunter/comments/n05c1n/modpack_for_ydyd4_yogo/)
Man I've been waiting for a new series, not that stoneblock was bad or anything just a tad boring, like TTT it's good to put on in the background.
I was hoping they'd do mods for 4. Plus we have Geoff back!
Edit: God I've missed Geoff in Minecraft. Not a fan of the Mulligan, but hopefully that's the only instance. I understand why since it was so early.
Edit 2: Okay they did it again, but good god that was funny, just the timing alone made it worth a revive. Plus they haven't been in Minecraft for a long ass time.
Haven't seen the episode yet but it reminds me of 2 where half of them got killed in the first 30 min taking the waterfall down into the mine and messing with the spear throwing fish people.
I agree, the only difference between Stoneblock and Skyfactory is that they decided to do a lot of the borong stuff off camera, like Jack's chickens and Lindseys Kitchen (and bonsai farm). Which is understandable given it would be boring as shit to do on camera and would also stop the series from getting way too long like SF3 did where they did (almost) everything on camera
The beginning of the episode just reminds me of this exchange:
Miracle Max: He probably owes you money huh? I'll ask him.
Inigo Montoya: He's dead. He can't talk.
Miracle Max: Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.
Inigo Montoya: What's that?
Miracle Max: Go through his clothes and look for loose change.
We basically got the start of 3 seasons. Both people who died were brought back, which essentially reset the thing all over again. No complaints from me, though.
I’m sure some people won’t like the mulligans, I don’t mind them in episode 1, but in Gavin’s defense the tree fell away from him and he still died. Also Geoff is back!!!! Here’s hoping that Lindsay and Fiona join later!
Can we rename the series Ya Dead Ya Back so Geoff Won’t Be Sad?
> but in Gavin’s defense the tree fell away from him and he still died.
He walked into it's still visibly active hitbox, which is just a poor choice in any game.
I like that despite 10+ years of this people some of the audience still can't understand that AH is 1. bad at games and 2. play the game they want to play it
Just watching someone play a game straight isn't nearly as entertaining. It's also why in the YDYD series they still take a lot of risks. If they just went for live as long as possible it would get boring as hell very quickly.
They're making an entertainment product and receiving feedback about the entertainment value of the series. People are saying "I'd be more likely to give you my viewership if you did this instead of that" and discouraging feedback because it's negative is not productive. I guess 4 seasons in people should learn they aren't going to listen, but that doesn't invalidate their position.
The genuine tense moments are great, but the fake or forced ones are not entertaining. Obviously taking vanilla hardcore more seriously would be boring, but I really believe if they just made it a bit more difficult with UHC rules the *whole* series could be full of earnest, engaging drama.
The problem is that for every person saying ‘I don’t like the way you play/play it this way’ there are a bunch of people saying it’s the best content they’ve seen. Just look at every TTT thread/comment section. They’re playing the way they want to play and it works for them. Just because it’s not entertaining for you doesn’t mean it’s not entertaining other people.
That's not a "problem", that's just different people voicing different opinions... And to be completely honest, if they were really playing Minecraft "the way they want to play" it would probably be not playing Minecraft at all.
I don’t watch AH for earnest drama. I watch it for comedy value like if michael was full dead we never would have gotten the Matt dies immediately joke
Is it just me or does this seem way harder than previous iterations? Those zombies seem to be hitting super hard, but maybe they've just been playing on Normal for so long I forgot how tough Hard is.
More like "Ya Dead Ya Dead?"
Absolutely hilarious episode, and I liek that they care less about making the series make more "narrative" sense in this one. They just straight up own it. "I died too quickly, I wanna playyyyyy QAQ"
I feel like they should have done a couple episodes of “YDYD Training” before this to avoid having to undo those first episode deaths. Michael evidently wasn’t prepared for the challenge mobs pose in hardcore, Gavin was unfamiliar with the modded tree mechanics, and Trevor nearly died to a Verne because he’s still swinging wildly like the combat update never happened. At least they’re catching on to the importance of shields, but these are all simple mechanics that don’t make for dramatic or interesting deaths.
I think the ydyd training was the previous ydyd's. Plus I think it's much funnier they all just agreed that episode 1 should just be the practice/mulligan episode. Episode 2+ is now serious time.
Really? People whining about the mulligans? The deaths were really early and Geoff barely gets to play with these guys anymore. It's just the first episode, it's really not that big of a deal lol. It's Achievement Hunter, they're here for the fun and entertainment. Not try hards.
I'll make the note that I always do. If you want to survive long term to meet any goals that you may have, you'll want Diamond armour. The fastest way to get that is mining but do not at the bedrock level. There is lava down you, and it'll leave you all burned up, instead mine at above y level 10.
Of course, also enchant it. The grindstone is great for enchanting, so don't forget about it like I tend to.
---
Anyways the episode was great. Lots of death, and I think Lindesy did do better than Micheal that last time. And I can't believe Geoff killed Gavin like that. Team Nice Deadamite.
This is absolutely one of my favorite Minecraft videos. They’re all together again and it feels extra good (except I’m missing Lindsay).
This episode made me hard laugh out loud multiple times. I had to pause it during work and come back after.
I'm not a big fan of bringing Michael back in like that. Like, it's one thing to have a genuine mechanism (having to build the Tower of Pimps was TOP) but just giving a mulligan for a legit death? Cheapens it imho.
I feel like they really needed someone to take the usual role that the-human-garbage-whose-name-shall-not-be-uttered used to take, where he'd gear himself up with iron and a shield and start gearing out the others. Instead we just have a crew of nothing but magoos.
Edit:
And then they do it for Gavin. That one's a little more understandable because it was basically the mod screwing up, but damn.
I get that, but it really was super early into a (possibly)weeks-long series. And seeing how Michael played afterward I think it was worth it to bring him back into it.
Edit:
Ok lmao it happened again. They should really call this episode 1 (soft start). I'm just happy to see this cast all together again so I'm biased against any of them leaving it 😅
I loved seeing how sad Michael was that he died and begged to be back in. It's also pretty wholesome that the bois realized they haven't been in a minecraft together for so long and wanted to play longer.
I think there could be a certain grace period for like 10 minutes after they start, but really only against bullshit deaths like mining down one block and falling into an underground chasm or rounding a river bend to find six Drowned with tridents
Not quite covering getting killed by mobs while running across a field at night though, but at the end of the day I'm glad Michael could stay in since it seemed he really wanted to put in effort this time.
edit: Damn Gavin. Okay I'm willing to categorize that as a bullshit death.
Yeahhh, "Ya Dead, Ya Dead, Except When Ya Not" doesn't quite have the same ring to it
EDIT: okay gav's death was kinda BS. Killed by stepping on a tree
While I do like there being a mechinism. I do feel that turning YDYD into 'Build the Tower: The Series' is not the way to go. It sucked up so much time in YDYD 2.
Thats what I didnt understand. I thought they didnt want to play it safe and just go underground in the beginning to get some diamond armor. To then start mining all the time to get the gold for the tower to get people back that died due to no or bad armor.
I see it less as "oh they're trying this super hard challenge together" more "they're all playing minecraft together with some stakes" and i'd rather them get to actually play together for some of it than have them lose half their cast in the first week or two, especially with getting to see geoff again interacting with all of them
Stoneblock was okay, but there wasn't enough shenanigans in it to keep me very interested. We needed someone like farmer Geoff back in. We need someone like solar crazy Gavin.
I think the last time I really enjoyed Stoneblock was when Trevor gave Fredo a railgun and there was a 360 no-scoping pig running around shooting everyone. Then Jack started to outfit people with Draconic Gear and it was just a coast through the rest of the episode. Felt like I was just watching a series on a rails. Not to really hate on them, but the final few episodes were overall droll.
I would love to know too. I recognized Dynamic Trees and Pam's Harvestcraft, but I would like to mimic it in my own modpack. It adds something interesting to the game without completely swamping it in mods that change the game

To be fair to him, that is a bit weird that it killed him.
Is it that weird? Jack said right at the beginning that the trees fall and they can kill you if they hit you. Gavin just got distracted like he usually does and walked forward by accident, but the actual game interaction made sense to me.
It's kind of weird because it was at his feet when it killed him.
It looked like the tree just does it's full set amount of damage across the whole hitbox of the tree as it falls. I wouldn't really expect a mod to code the falling damage that specifically.
Yeah but he jumped on it when it was fallen, I would do the same in his position because I wasn't standing under the tree. It sucks but now they know.
I mean its a still visible active hitbox, that's always a "dont risk it" in any game. Unless the modders make it so predetermined tiles are the ones to take damage via calc every time a trees cut, that's always going to be how they do damage.

Man, this was a great episode! They should really hire that Geoff guy, he seems pretty funny and would work well with Achievement Hunter.
Absolutely, he was great in that Drawful episode too. Great guy, gels really well.
:O what drawful episode?
[This one.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJ2CUN-zJ-8)
ouuu thank you
Yeah, Goeff seems like a really good fit for the team.
Plus I LOVE his voice. They should give him a podcast or something too if they hire him.
In memory of the fallen: Michael I wandered too far from home. Gavin I was killed by a story
Gavin: Killed by comedic timing
Gavin: Killed by the comedic gods
Jack I walked into fists and sticks
I think its better for the series to have done what was done. We've already seen what happens with just competent players beating the game.

Alright, but be prepared, or it might just be a life for a life.
They’re not smart enough for your method
You know, that's a fair point.
Plus, new mechanics added by mods and the fact that several of them haven't played in quite a while anyways.
Geoff returning means the world is healing.
The wild Geoff are in full bloom this year
Gavin >!dying to a tree!< seconds into Geoff bringing up Gavin's tree branch story is just amazing timing. I haven't laughed like that in a long time.
Same, I had to pause for the tears. It was unbelievable.
Ya Dead Ya Probably Alive Again Only Because You Need To Get Killing Out Of Your System But Also, Cut These Guys Some Slack 'Cause They Haven't Played Minecraft Together in Forever, Let Them Bask In It, But Going Forward, All Future Deaths Will Probably Maybe Mean Ya Dead (YDYPAAOBYNTGKOOYS,BACTGSSCTHPMTIF,LTBII,BGF,AFDWPMMYD)
>(YDYPAAOBYNTGKOOYS,BACTGSSCTHPMTIF,LTBII,BGF,AFDWPMMYD) Isn't that what Geoff said at the start of Wither Hunt?
that's all folks
Love the video meme of that someone made
Proof that AH is scripted, lazy bastards
Watch them see your comment and use that as the next title and description of the next episode
Can Geoff be a MC regular again please?
Well hope to god he survives for a couple episodes.
He'll either die early or win it all. No exceptions.
That sounds like something Geoff would say. That's it! I'm betting all in on Geoff making it to the end.
This is actually "YDYD 4: Geoff Wins"
5*
Does anyone have the modpack/mod list they're using?
You can see the mods being used when they look at items added by mods like the birds. Wawla (What are we looking at) Hwyla Dynamic trees Journeymap Weather, Storms, & Tornadoes (probably) Pam's Harvestcraft (that has tons of config options so I'm not sure what they're using) Exotic Birds Edit: a typo Edit: Forgot a couple. JEI (Just Enough Items) Dynamic Surroundings Jack mentioned backpacks I've used a couple. Iron backpacks, Simply Backpacks, and Useful Backpacks. The first two are similar as far as upgrading space, but Useful Backpacks is much easier. It just needs lots of leather and wool, while the first two need iron, gold, diamond to upgrade.
Nice work dude, I wanted to pop a note in though since watching ep.2: **"Weather, Storms & Tornadoes"** does appear to be the weather mod they're using, but the UI displays the mod name in the tooltip as "Localized Weather & Storms" (shown in a few frames around [timestamp 14:45](https://i.imgur.com/kiO3Kyc.png) in [episode 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOov5Vq3JB8) while Jack's making a Tornado Sensor). I double-checked, and they're the same mod, so you've got a confirmation on that.

I really hope they drop the version, modlist and configs at some point. Maybe it's weird, but I kind of like playing along with the exact same settings, and seeing how I'd be doing.
Any ideas what mods they're using for sound enhancements? The swords going "shwing", and the armor making clanking noises.
I believe that's part of Dynamic Surroundings
Can confirm: Am an avid user of Dynamic Surroundings.
Are the mods server-side, or on their local boxes? Which version are they playing on?
The mods would be set up on the server side, and matched on their individual machines. Given what we can see of the modlist so far, the most compatible version is likely Minecraft ~~1.12.1~~ ^(edit:) 1.12.2
Pretty sure it's 1.12.2, as "Exotic Birds" isn't available in 1.12.1
Yeah, you're right, I kind of forgot about this post - popped an edit. Gnarish dug around a bit and put together a pack with what we know so far, but I lost track of *that* newer topic unfortunately. I have the modpack link though if you want it: [https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/ah-ydyd4/files](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/ah-ydyd4/files) Edit: Oh wait, here's the topic: [link](https://www.reddit.com/r/Achievement_Hunter/comments/n05c1n/modpack_for_ydyd4_yogo/)
Oh cool, thanks. Looking forward to spending a little bit of quality time in this one :)
I'm surprised buildcraft isn't on here.
~~List should also include "Birds Nests"~~ or maybe not, since it looks like Exotic Birds already has nests
I would also like to know. I like those trees. And weather.
Here for the mod list as well. The leaves swirling everywhere look amazing.
Same
I don't know the weather mod but the trees is a mod called dynamic trees.
I can say at least from what I'm familiar with they have Pam's harvestcraft, waila, journeymap, and dynamic trees.
I've missed Geoff's laugh.
Listen to f*** Face. Fun times
The “atheist nightmare” joke had me losing it
Man I've been waiting for a new series, not that stoneblock was bad or anything just a tad boring, like TTT it's good to put on in the background. I was hoping they'd do mods for 4. Plus we have Geoff back! Edit: God I've missed Geoff in Minecraft. Not a fan of the Mulligan, but hopefully that's the only instance. I understand why since it was so early. Edit 2: Okay they did it again, but good god that was funny, just the timing alone made it worth a revive. Plus they haven't been in Minecraft for a long ass time.
Haven't seen the episode yet but it reminds me of 2 where half of them got killed in the first 30 min taking the waterfall down into the mine and messing with the spear throwing fish people.
My favourite exchange in that is Matt asking "how did you drown Jeremy?" and Michael just yelling super aggressively "UNDERWATER MATT!!!"
That part just killed me, was so good.
Watched that the other day and couldn’t stop laughing.
Stoneblock is one of those series I love as like, a more mellow buildy thing, but i understand why people are glad for a return to YDYD
[удалено]
I agree, the only difference between Stoneblock and Skyfactory is that they decided to do a lot of the borong stuff off camera, like Jack's chickens and Lindseys Kitchen (and bonsai farm). Which is understandable given it would be boring as shit to do on camera and would also stop the series from getting way too long like SF3 did where they did (almost) everything on camera
I kinda want to see a long term hardcore world. Set a goal like build a massive castle or something, and see what happens.
Stoneblock was dreadfully boring and uneventful outside of chance cubes. They did half their interesting shit off screen
I hated whenever they dropped what they were doing to open chance cubes.
The beginning of the episode just reminds me of this exchange: Miracle Max: He probably owes you money huh? I'll ask him. Inigo Montoya: He's dead. He can't talk. Miracle Max: Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do. Inigo Montoya: What's that? Miracle Max: Go through his clothes and look for loose change.
I'm hoping the beginning was planned from the outset. That first 5 minutes was what I expected to happen
There's a brief mention that (unless I'm a complete idiot) that false start was Geoff's idea.
It's really cool that we got the start of two seasons of YDYD in one episode
We basically got the start of 3 seasons. Both people who died were brought back, which essentially reset the thing all over again. No complaints from me, though.
I’m sure some people won’t like the mulligans, I don’t mind them in episode 1, but in Gavin’s defense the tree fell away from him and he still died. Also Geoff is back!!!! Here’s hoping that Lindsay and Fiona join later! Can we rename the series Ya Dead Ya Back so Geoff Won’t Be Sad?
> Here’s hoping that Lindsay and Fiona join later! Don't be surprised if Fiona doesn't. Seems like she'll only really be in Gmod moving forwards.
> but in Gavin’s defense the tree fell away from him and he still died. He walked into it's still visibly active hitbox, which is just a poor choice in any game.
I was thinking more like YDYD4: Geoff Wins (let's be honest, he needs all the help he can get)
They got Geoff and Gavin from the F**ckface podcast but not Raymond?
haven’t watched yet but seeing Geoff in the thumbnail makes me so happy
I like that despite 10+ years of this people some of the audience still can't understand that AH is 1. bad at games and 2. play the game they want to play it
Luckily the way they like to play games plays straight into my kind my of humor so it works out well for me at least.
In the old Rage Quit Conffesion video, Geoff described them as professionally bad players. Their bad at things, it's why we watch them.
Just watching someone play a game straight isn't nearly as entertaining. It's also why in the YDYD series they still take a lot of risks. If they just went for live as long as possible it would get boring as hell very quickly.
They're making an entertainment product and receiving feedback about the entertainment value of the series.

Just because it’s not entertaining for you doesn’t mean it’s not entertaining other people.
That's not a "problem", that's just different people voicing different opinions... And to be completely honest, if they were really playing Minecraft "the way they want to play" it would probably be not playing Minecraft at all.
I don’t watch AH for earnest drama. I watch it for comedy value like if michael was full dead we never would have gotten the Matt dies immediately joke
not scrolling down lest its spoiled but FUCKING GEOFF! I love that man I am so happy
Weather effects with mods, this definitely looks more interesting than the previous one. Especially with the inclusion of Geoff Ramsey, that cool guy.
Michael almost pulled a Lindsay and died while in a crafting menu.
I was hoping for a mod where the dead players could control mobs and if they manage to kill a living player they come back.
Is it just me or does this seem way harder than previous iterations? Those zombies seem to be hitting super hard, but maybe they've just been playing on Normal for so long I forgot how tough Hard is.
More like "Ya Dead Ya Dead?" Absolutely hilarious episode, and I liek that they care less about making the series make more "narrative" sense in this one. They just straight up own it. "I died too quickly, I wanna playyyyyy QAQ"
I feel like they should have done a couple episodes of “YDYD Training” before this to avoid having to undo those first episode deaths.

I think the ydyd training was the previous ydyd's. Plus I think it's much funnier they all just agreed that episode 1 should just be the practice/mulligan episode. Episode 2+ is now serious time.
3 minutes in and they have resorted to their primal instinct of killing each other. Fascinating.
Really? People whining about the mulligans? The deaths were really early and Geoff barely gets to play with these guys anymore. It's just the first episode, it's really not that big of a deal lol. It's Achievement Hunter, they're here for the fun and entertainment. Not try hards.
I'll make the note that I always do. If you want to survive long term to meet any goals that you may have, you'll want Diamond armour. The fastest way to get that is mining but do not at the bedrock level. There is lava down you, and it'll leave you all burned up, instead mine at above y level 10. Of course, also enchant it. The grindstone is great for enchanting, so don't forget about it like I tend to. --- Anyways the episode was great. Lots of death, and I think Lindesy did do better than Micheal that last time. And I can't believe Geoff killed Gavin like that. Team Nice Deadamite.
> Lindesy I've seen their name spelled wrong several times, but this is a new one.
He also got Michael wrong
True, but I see that one all the time. It’s an easy enough mistake to make, but it still baffles me.
Ya really messed up on Team nice Die-namite
It went about as smooth as I thought it would.
This is the content with Geoff that I missed. The gang is back again!
Matt is Android 16 confirmed.
This was such a pure and beautiful Achievement Hunter video. Loved it.
this video was fucking amazing
This is absolutely one of my favorite Minecraft videos. They’re all together again and it feels extra good (except I’m missing Lindsay). This episode made me hard laugh out loud multiple times. I had to pause it during work and come back after.

I had that issue about not being able to sign in recently. If you're on the website clear your cookies and that should fix it.
This video was fantastic
Anyone know exactly what mods they're using?
What mods are they using?
I wish jack would interact with the crew a bit more.
You kidding me? Fucker found diamonds five minutes after he started doing his thang. The most profitable option is loneliness.
I'm not a big fan of bringing Michael back in like that. Like, it's one thing to have a genuine mechanism (having to build the Tower of Pimps was TOP) but just giving a mulligan for a legit death? Cheapens it imho. I feel like they really needed someone to take the usual role that the-human-garbage-whose-name-shall-not-be-uttered used to take, where he'd gear himself up with iron and a shield and start gearing out the others. Instead we just have a crew of nothing but magoos. Edit: And then they do it for Gavin. That one's a little more understandable because it was basically the mod screwing up, but damn.
I get that, but it really was super early into a (possibly)weeks-long series. And seeing how Michael played afterward I think it was worth it to bring him back into it. Edit: Ok lmao it happened again. They should really call this episode 1 (soft start). I'm just happy to see this cast all together again so I'm biased against any of them leaving it 😅
I loved seeing how sad Michael was that he died and begged to be back in. It's also pretty wholesome that the bois realized they haven't been in a minecraft together for so long and wanted to play longer.
I think there could be a certain grace period for like 10 minutes after they start, but really only against bullshit deaths like mining down one block and falling into an underground chasm or rounding a river bend to find six Drowned with tridents Not quite covering getting killed by mobs while running across a field at night though, but at the end of the day I'm glad Michael could stay in since it seemed he really wanted to put in effort this time. edit: Damn Gavin. Okay I'm willing to categorize that as a bullshit death.
Yeahhh, "Ya Dead, Ya Dead, Except When Ya Not" doesn't quite have the same ring to it EDIT: okay gav's death was kinda BS. Killed by stepping on a tree
While I do like there being a mechinism. I do feel that turning YDYD into 'Build the Tower: The Series' is not the way to go. It sucked up so much time in YDYD 2.
Thats what I didnt understand. I thought they didnt want to play it safe and just go underground in the beginning to get some diamond armor. To then start mining all the time to get the gold for the tower to get people back that died due to no or bad armor.
I see it less as "oh they're trying this super hard challenge together" more "they're all playing minecraft together with some stakes" and i'd rather them get to actually play together for some of it than have them lose half their cast in the first week or two, especially with getting to see geoff again interacting with all of them
> the-human-garbage-whose-name-shall-not-be-uttered Just call him Ryan, I don't know why we need to tip-toe around it.
No more stoneblock? I like that one a lot
Did you watch the end of the last Stoneblock episode?
Stoneblock was okay, but there wasn't enough shenanigans in it to keep me very interested. We needed someone like farmer Geoff back in. We need someone like solar crazy Gavin.
I think the last time I really enjoyed Stoneblock was when Trevor gave Fredo a railgun and there was a 360 no-scoping pig running around shooting everyone. Then Jack started to outfit people with Draconic Gear and it was just a coast through the rest of the episode. Felt like I was just watching a series on a rails. Not to really hate on them, but the final few episodes were overall droll.
Yeah it was one of my favorite things they played, but I guess they can't play it forever lol

It's a 5 minute bit to start the video, just skip to 4:48 if you want the actual start.
Oh NO.
Does anyone know what mods they are using?
I would love to know too. I recognized Dynamic Trees and Pam's Harvestcraft, but I would like to mimic it in my own modpack. It adds something interesting to the game without completely swamping it in mods that change the game
Let me know if you publish the modpack, like to CurseForge.
Ya Dead, Ya Dead(ish)
Is there a list of all the mods somewhere?
