The Cafe Floor: GopherCraft UHC S10 Episode 7

  • Published on

A card reads "Episode 07, GopherCraft UHC 10." Four players are left: Basket and pulse2010 on purple, OjiiOtousan and erynfaith on orange, and the orange pair are up on the island over spawn. "Either we die, or we win." One of them has a single TNT.

Sneaking through the trees

They come up the ladder into a spruce forest on top of the island, holding shift so their names stay hidden. Skeletons and a creeper are everywhere. "The creeper will give us away." A sign on a stump names TopStiGear's cottage cafe, the place OjiiOtousan took over last episode.

The orange team doesn't seem to know anyone is coming. In chat, OjiiOtousan asks "What do I need to do to get some customers in here?!" and then shouts "FREE CAPUCINO!!!" A path of stairs leads up to the building. "This is the entry point. It might be trapped." So they split up: one pillars up, the other takes the stairs.

The crash

"Ready? Go go go." Right then Basket's screen freezes, goes black and drops to the title menu. "Oh no! My game crashed! I'm coming back in as fast as I can." Basket reconnects, and chat shows "Soul Crusher will wake in 2 minutes!" and OjiiOtousan typing "gg."

TNT under the floor

The fight ended while Basket was gone. The TNT went under the cafe, the floor gave way, and both orange players dropped. "I got them both, they both fell!" Basket walks into the cafe afterward, past a wheat planter and a chest.

On voice, everyone compares notes. One orange player spent the whole time crouched behind the door, waiting for someone to walk in. Another said they heard explosions below and thought it was creepers. pulse2010 ends with three kills.

After the match

Chat later shows "pulse2010 fell from a high place." Basket then goes over the edge of the island, the screen reads "You died!" and chat posts "BasketMC fell from a high place." From there Basket flies over the island as a spectator.

The other players gather at the cafe, their nameplates hovering around the building in the dark.

Why the border stalled

Someone asks why the border stopped shrinking. Basket switches to creative and heads into a room of command blocks. The command block that shrinks the border shows its last output on screen: "-300.0 is too small, it must be at least -200.0." On voice, the answer comes out: taking away another 300 blocks would have gone below the smallest size allowed, so the border stayed where it was.

The video ends on the end cards, with Basket out of the match and spectating.
