aw man

Okay, this is getting quite a bit of traction and I feel like people are conflating the Endercon map with Jack’s map. They are different things.

The Endercon map is small, only used for the Endercon sequence in the first episode, and is easily overlooked. It is sandwiched between the pork vender and the crafting table you use to make a slime block. From the angle of the camera in the game I don’t even know if you can actually SEE this map properly at all.

It is a background texture and has no actual influence on anything within the MCSM world, nor is any aspect of the MCSM’s landmarks influenced by it.

It is not the map used by the order of the stone to track the members with the amulet, and it is not the expanded version of that map in Jack’s curiosity shop.

fyi MCSM gang, antimo&welles just put up the whole soundtrack on bandcamp

So much time, energy, and talent out into a game that simply cannot be played anymore. A whole generation of new Minecraft players growing up never even knowing this game existed. And even if you managed to get it working, you’ll no longer be able to see what choices other players took. Which decisions you did that other people didn’t.

And think of the performances lost? Ivor’s a delight to listen to. Lucas has one of the kindest sweetest voices ever heard. And Petra’s emotional breakdown in season 2 still gets me every time. All that emotion and effort. All that pain and heartbreak… just gone. Forgotten.

People scoffed at Story Mode when it was announced, but I honestly think Story Mode did an amazing amount of world building for the community. It took the ideas being created by YouTube personalities and animations and codified them into a coherent universe with set rules and functions. Items are flat. Blocks grow when placed down. Crafting is akin to alchemy. Ages do not exist. And even disappearing in a puff of smoke leaving behind your inventory is just how you die in this world.

So much work was done to make such an amazing series of games, and nobody is going to remember them. And far fewer are going to actually play through all 2 seasons and experience the joys of season 2’s emotional storyline. It’s so sad.

I don’t have a point to this. I’m just depressed at how this game has been overlooked, shunned, ignored, and flat out tossed aside by the Minecraft community. I hate seeing hard work just cast aside so quickly like that.

im aware it’s practically canon that he did run off to the ends of the end but with the way guilt seems to destroy and eat at him from the inside out i imagine he has uncontrollable urges to “check in” on the overworld and its inhabitants. most of the time he doesn’t give in but sometimes he does and he sees how the world has moved on without him, how much his friends smile, how he is barely mentioned by anyone, forgotten by the entirety of the world minus those who knew him, and those he knew he affected negatively, so they try to forget him purposely or bury him in the back of their minds out of shame.

hes aware that ivor looked for him, aware that for so long ivor looked from world to world to world searching, but eventually gave up. ivor couldnt spend his whole life chasing a ghost of a man who did not exist anymore. the soren ivor cared for, was friends with, was gone the moment the command block was created. soren considers himself dead, he does not call himself by soren anymore, and he thinks maybe the world is better off for it, and he goes back to the end. he never visits again.

still tryin to figure out how i wanna draw these block ppl

Little something for @ancient-bird-demon

(Love the AU idea)
