Day three of Island Survival, Michael Deering's April 2014 challenge, opens with the edited intro and then the words "DAY 3" and "Ward" over the mineshaft. Basket's eight-player GopherCraft team is still living underground, away from the sea they are not allowed to touch, and Basket is still in the full iron armor from day two.
Spiders and a clock
The day starts with cobwebs and cave spiders. "There's poison spiders, poison spiders." The chat shows Sayulily earning Monster Hunter. Back at the furnaces, Basket smelts gold and crafts a clock while Max_Writer stands nearby. "Hey Basket, you making me a clock?" "Awesome, we have a clock, everybody." Scoti_Garbidis turns up in the tunnel below Basket's feet, which gets a laugh.
Branch mining in the dark
Basket heads off alone down long one-block tunnels, digging past lapis. The positional voice chat fades out the farther anyone goes. "Can you hear me, Max?" In chat Basket asks "daytime?" and Max_Writer answers "yes," with Scoti_Garbidis adding "yes, raining." Then Basket explains the real plan: "I'm on a mission to get a record. So if I die, it was for a good cause."
A creeper, a skeleton and a record
A music disc only drops when a skeleton's arrow kills a creeper, so Basket needs both mobs in the right place. Basket boxes a creeper into a narrow tunnel and goes looking for a skeleton. "This is a very stubborn, stubborn guy." "It's gonna be like an entire episode of me trying to get this record." The skeleton shows up and starts shooting. "Ow. Stop shooting me." "Oh, he's not gonna blow up, is he?" Then: "That guy takes a lot of hits. There he goes." The disc drops, and the inventory tooltip reads "Music Disc, C418 - ward." Basket types "Ward" into chat and heads home.
A jukebox in the base
"Does anybody object to me making a jukebox?" Nobody does. Basket crafts one from planks and a diamond, sets it down next to the crafting table and the furnaces, and the screen shows the disc playing. "I spent the entire episode getting a record," Basket tells the others. Basket also tosses a diamond to a teammate, and the chat finally gives BasketMC the DIAMONDS! and Diamonds to you! achievements.
Planning an enchanting table
The team counts up. "Okay, we have enough diamonds to make an enchantment table." "Yeah, we just need leather and paper, right?" Paper is the catch. Earlier someone asked about sugar cane and got the answer, "No, there's none on the island from what I could tell." Obsidian is the other piece, and someone reports an obsidian pool and a lava pool down a branch mine. A Nether portal comes up and gets a cool reply: "I don't really want to go in the Nether." Meanwhile Basket grinds bones into bone meal and grows the farm's wheat in a burst of green sparkles, with talk of melon and pumpkin seeds on the side.
Day three ends
"Get together, you said? We're in the room." Sayulily, PsychoSFK, Scoti_Garbidis and lostinthefort are all around the farm room in the last minutes, the team bunches up, and Basket calls the end of the episode. No death message appears in chat, so all eight are still in the game. The credits roll after that, and nothing comes after them.
