The title card reads "Minecraft Hardcore Challenge June 2013," with "E07" in the corner. Day seven starts in the base room with a new plan. "Today I'm going to see if I can get some diamonds. I'm going to try out a different cave." After two episodes of coming up empty in the ravine, Basket is sure there's nothing down there, and wants a cave system that other entrants have pulled diamonds out of.
Eggs and trees
First, supplies. Basket loads up from the chest and furnaces, then heads out into the rain to the farm and the chicken pen. Eggs are still the slow part of the pie recipe. Basket grabs seeds and breeds a couple more chickens in the pen before saying goodbye to them: "Sorry guys, I gotta say goodbye to you."
There's a spare pickaxe ready, and then Basket remembers the other job from last time: wood. "I wanted to cut down some more trees before I head over there." Basket chops a few down and replants the saplings.
Where is that cave?
Then the run across the hills, sprinting "to save time." There's one problem. "Actually I don't know where these caves are that I'm trying to find." Basket tries one spot, then another. "Oh, fail." "Should've rewatched the video. Where, oh where, is your cave entrance?"
All that sprinting makes Basket hungry, so it's pumpkin pie before the next try. That one works. "This is a big cave."
Too many bad guys
The new cave is crowded. Zombies come up the slopes, creepers stand around in the passages, and a skeleton waits further down. "Lots of bad guys, wow. Bat in my face." Basket cuts through them with the iron sword and starts to suspect a spawner: "It just seems like way too many."
A dead end gives Basket a minute to make more torches and put on the backup armor from last episode. Then it's down again, "trying to get low quick," past more creepers. "Looks like we're getting towards lava down there, good."
Diamonds
With arrows sticking out and a stream of water in the way, Basket spots them. "I saw diamonds over there in case you didn't see it." Basket gets past the water and mines them while a zombie closes in. "One, two, three! Three diamonds! And a zombie! Yay, diamonds!"
After crafting a new backup sword, Basket keeps going into a big lava area and finds more. "This looks sort of familiar." The count climbs to seven, then higher, past lapis and emeralds Basket doesn't care about. "16 diamonds! Oh yeah. This makes up for last episode." There's no obvious way back up, so the plan is to build a pillar out at some point.
A creeper walks out across an obsidian floor, and Basket fights it off with the sword and the bow.
Almost a full set
Instead of pillaring up right away, Basket puts down a crafting table and spends the diamonds on armor. "Actually I think the hat goes last. Boots. Pants. And a hat." The old iron pieces get thrown away as "junky iron armor."
That leaves the chestplate, which needs eight more diamonds, with a minute and twenty-two seconds on the clock. Basket hurries around the lava and finds one more patch with seconds to spare. "Oh, I only get eight. Nope, not eight. But that will do." It comes up five short. "There's the buzzer." The game pauses deep in the new cave with Basket alive, and the end card follows with no gameplay after it.
