This is the first episode of the Team B.S. server, a vanilla Minecraft server, cut from the launch day stream. A handful of players spawn in together, and by the end of the first day they have claimed a village, walled it in, and put the first number on the death counter.
Day one
"So, we are live now." Everyone heads off in a different direction to survive the first day. Basket gets a crafting table going, makes basic tools, and ducks into a dark cave for cobblestone.
A cluster of villages
Then someone on voice calls out, "I found a village!" It is not the only one. There is a desert village, a wooden one, and one built out into the water, all close together. "Oh man! And then there's another one over there. This one has swimming pool." Names start flying around on voice, "river town" and "Lake town."
Out over the desert, Basket comes across a clump of sand hanging in the sky. Somebody wants it kept: "If you find like floating blocks of sand in the sky, don't touch it, we can build a monument or something."
Walling in the lake village
"I feel like we should get away from the villages now, because it's going to be dark soon." The group settles on the village by the water and starts closing it in. Basket lays a cobblestone wall across the sand. "Most of the village backs onto the water," so the land side comes first, and the water can wait, even though "some of the water zombies are jerks." The village well gets blocked up "because they're trying to get in it."
Then come the house claims. Two small buildings out over the water become neighbor houses, a big house turns into "the community house," and a bed goes down. "Oh, this village is, uh, closed in now. Cool."
The menagerie
Somebody on voice asks, "where would you like my menagerie," and then jandoncom shows up at the village with a line of animals in tow. The herd gets let in, and a head count follows, minus one sheep that was "very stubborn." The target: "we should have four cows, two sheep, and three pigs."
The first death
"Little spooky, no one has died yet." Not for long. Chat reads "Scoti_Garbidis was blown up by Creeper," and the death counter is up and running: "Hey, the death counter works." A little later the same line turns up in chat again, and the player list shows Scoti_Garbidis at 2 and BasketMC, Gopherboy, JJBonsig, jandoncom, johnfal_92 and pikerize all at 0. Someone makes a chest for the dropped gear. An iron golem keeps an eye on the village.
Into the cave
Basket smelts some iron ore, then goes looking for more underground: "I would like to go in this cave though." The cave turns into a run of ravines. "Oh this is dangerous, okay, bunch of ravines, oh man, this is like, not safe." A skeleton gets right up in Basket's face, there's gold ore in the walls, and zombies come splashing across a pool near the end.
"Alright, it's safe here. I'm gonna go back." The episode ends there, and there is no gameplay after the credits.
