Episode 5 opens on a card that reads "Episode 5, Enchants." The chat behind it still shows the server's "End of Day 4" line with 12 players left, BasketMC, TChels and xmods13 among them. The Librarians are in their new base down in the ravine, and the enchanting table is ready.
Bookshelves first
Early on, chat reports that Th3pooka has earned the Diamonds achievement. Down in the base, Basket crafts bookshelves and lines them up next to the enchanting table. Levels are short, though: "I put all these bookshelves here, but I think because we don't have a whole lot of levels, then it's better just to do the one." When Basket hovers over Protection II, the tooltip says it needs level 15.
The team is picky about the offers. "Unbreaking, that's stupid." "Aqua Affinity is dumb." The chest still holds two diamonds, enough for everyone to get a diamond sword. An anvil goes down next to the table too, so enchanted books can be combined onto gear later.
The border moves again
Chat posts "Soul Crusher will wake in 2 minutes!" About two minutes later it reads "Soul Crusher is coming! (The World Border is shrinking)." On voice: "Oh God, the border is shrinking." Nobody knows where the wall is now. "I feel like we may have to all of a sudden run quickly." They decide to stay put. If someone else dies, the two-minute warning gives them time to move.
Basket keeps enchanting while the border closes. The iron boots come out with Projectile Protection II, and later an iron helmet gets Projectile Protection I. A pair of Protection I boots goes in the chest for anyone who wants them.
A floor of obsidian
With the diamond pickaxe, Basket mines a floor of obsidian in the ravine, one slow block at a time. Last episode's plan was to carry twice what a portal needs. Basket wonders out loud whether they really need double, then keeps mining anyway, "just to be safe."
Over voice comes news of Sharpness II on a diamond sword: "It only took two levels."
Apples and arrows
Gold goes into the furnace, and Basket crafts golden apples from it. There are two in the chest, with another one cooking up. The advice on voice is to eat them one at a time, "because sometimes it'll double eat them."
Chat shows "pulse2010 left the game." The Tab list still includes pulse2010 at the bottom, and the voice chat says pulse rejoined in spectator mode. The list also shows pikerize losing hearts for a moment. "And then it stopped."
A stack of 20 arrows sits in the chest for xmods13.
Surface or Nether?
The last stretch is a choice. The team can go up and look for other players, or go into the Nether for a fortress and potions. "I feel like if we go into the Nether it might be our death waiting." Another team cannot trap a portal, but it can "just sit there and wait."
They settle on a peek. The portal goes up right there in the cave, so everyone can pack up and run through together if it links somewhere odd. Basket places obsidian, the frame gets lit, and the portal glows purple next to TChels.
The episode cuts to the credits with the portal lit, Basket alive and the team standing beside it.
