Day six of the Hostile Mob Museum, Michael Deering's April 2015 Minecraft Hardcore Challenge. The team is out to catch hostile mobs and cage them at its cobblestone base. Basket starts the morning by the pond in the birch forest where day five ended, with Scoti_Garbidis beside the water by nameplate, as PsychoSFK, Sayulily, Max_Writer and PaisleyPlayfully join the game in chat. The shopping list grows right away. "We need pumpkins too." "What do we need pumpkins for?" "Pumpkin pie!"
Across the hills
Basket, Scoti_Garbidis and PsychoSFK head off through the birches and out into extreme hills. Wolves come up in the talk ("I don't see any wolves"), but none turn up on screen. There are cows, though the rules get in the way of using them: "You're not even allowed to use stuff from the dead." A skeleton on a ledge gets a pass. "Let's take them back." "We already have a skeleton actually." "I know, I'm just messing with you."
Pigs on the stone
Out on a wide stretch of bare stone, Scoti_Garbidis holds a carrot on a stick and the pigs crowd in close. A crafting table goes down in the middle of them. Somebody wishes out loud for a different kind of museum: "We should have done the non-hostile farm." "Pigs and cows."
A pumpkin at last
The hills go on and on with no pumpkins. "There's no pumpkins in this whole darn map." "Stupid pumpkins." Then Basket rounds a pond and there one is, tucked into a dirt hollow under the bank. "Oh, pumpkin right here!" "Are you serious?" "Thank the lord."
With the pumpkin found, the job is getting back. "Who picked me to lead?" "Just get us home."
Creepers in the dark
The sun sets with the three of them still far from base. Creepers come out across the hills, and two of them wander right up next to Scoti_Garbidis and PsychoSFK. "Man, there's creepers all over the place." The game starts to lag. "I don't like playing the creepers with this much lag!" Sayulily types "Wohoo" in chat. The pigs are still tagging along. "Do we still have that pig?" "I bet it's the pig that's causing the lag."
Food runs low. "I'm out of food." Basket loses the other two for a bit. "Oh God, I've lost both of you." "We're right above you." Name tags come up again, and Sayulily asks for them in chat, adding "Plz <3". A pig refuses to climb. "My pig will not go up this stupid thing!" Another player is in worse shape: "I have half a heart, no food to heal." Basket's own hearts stay full on screen.
The creeper cage
The base comes into view by torchlight, with PaisleyPlayfully, Sayulily and Max_Writer there by nameplate. "Yeah, we caught a creeper." The proof sits in a mossy cobblestone cell with iron bars across the front and a creeper standing inside. By the chests and furnace, a zombie waits in a cell of its own next to a sign that reads "Woody Harrison." "Did you name the creeper?" Someone is still sore about the pigs: "You guys made me leave two loves of my life."
The sky turns light over the base and Basket ends day six alive, with the team around the cells. The grave for pikerize still hasn't appeared on screen. The end credits follow, with no gameplay after them.
