A New Server Begins! ▫ Minecraft SOS [Ep.1] ▫ Minecraft 1.20 Hardcore SMP

Minecraft SOS begins at last!
This is a hardcore server with a twist: anyone who dies can be revived within 24 hours using a Fate Coin. If the timer counts down to zero, they're lost forever and can never respawn! But the supply of coins is limited, and we don't know how to get more yet...
In this first episode, I go caving with Mogswamp, who hasn't seen a cave for about five years. I establish my base, Jimmy refuses to raid a Woodland Mansion with me, I start digging a hole, and Owen and Eloise save me from a sticky situation.
Welcome to Minecraft SOS!

[@Pixlriffs]

Welcome to Minecraft SOS! Read the description for more details about this new server :) Episode notes: We decided to add a 'hardcore hearts' resource pack after the first recording, mostly so we all remember that dying has consequences. There were some glitches with Fate Coins being awarded for random advancements. That's been fixed now, but bonus points if you spot a random Fate Coin lying on the ground somewhere in this video! I'll be streaming from the server on Twitch tomorrow, continuing my dig project :)

Pixlriffs already getting to being a guide and guard, between the warnings in the cave and showing Mogswamp what a Hill is.

[@TomWhyard]

Really cool to see mogswamp so excited for caves and "normal" stuff. Dudes grinded on suoerflat for so long.

[@Pixlriffs]

Yes! I really enjoyed hanging out with Mog, the excitement is contagious. It's like living vicariously through someone else experiencing regular Minecraft for the first time

you can sneak in to a mansion by the outside, then break the windows shoot any baddies from the window and block the door with a line of blocks. then go to the next room by going through the wall drawing the baddies to the 1st block removed. so it is possible to find the book room and take everything. with no armour

[@TheBreadthatcausedLesMis]

partially surprised Joel is part of this, didn't really think he'd split time between Hermitcraft and another SMP.

[@Pixlriffs]

Don't expect too much from Joel, he's a busy guy and we've said no hard feelings if Hermitcraft is gonna take priority

[@itsssnek810]

I mean Gem and False did split Hermitcraft S9 and Empires S2.

[@dania4407]

@@itsssnek810 gem was the only one out of the two who actually managed to keep up with it though. false kinda gave up on it near the end. and gem isnt in this new smp.

I'm just glad Joels still gonna play with the empires and modded gang, even if he doesn't upload too often here!!

[@IsochronyxMC]

"NO LORE!" ➡ "The lore is that there is no lore" ➡ "Lore? Did someone mention lore?" ➡ "Pig & Bee is a great pitch for Nickelodeon" ➡ "I can't speak or craft as a chicken" This is the kind of progression that I'm here for! By 29:49, it was clear that none of you will be able to survive the constraint. After all, Nature abhlores a vacuum. And come on, fwhip should know the lot of you well enough to have known this fully in advance! 😜

[@IsochronyxMC]

Three minutes later: so consternated by the lack of lore, Pix has not only divulged the lore of his base to other players, but begun enumerating his self-imposed lore, er, "Rules."

[@morganl3980]

love coming from Joel's ep where he's like "who built a diorite circle??" and then seeing this in my recommendations lol. I think I may know the answer asdfghj

I don't know how long this series will go on for, so if I don't start it right away I'll never get it finished!

[@STIKYE07]

@@Pixlriffs especially since you already have died once lol

[@DoctorLeft]

I will suggest that for each tool's marker that some of the materials dug out with it are used for decoration. Things like cobble for the upper level pickaxes and deepslate for ones used further down, dirt or gravel for shovels, moss for hoes, and jungle wood if an axe gets used up somehow.

[@Pixlriffs]

Nice idea! I'll keep it in mind :)

[@justpapaya6005]

When the lore is that no lore is allowed, you know it's going to be a great server. Also, nice job being Mog's bodyguard Pix!

[@MarieAxelsson]

Oh no, Naming places is definitely Lore. Pork hill might be the hill you all die on. D:

[@TheLJPlayer]

The Pix and Mog duo is so wholesome

[@imperfectimp]

I've been watching so much Hermitcraft lately that my first thought for the tool graves was "this'll look good in tuff bricks... oh wait". I'm curious to see how far this project gets before the server runs out of Fate Coins. Uh- I mean- I'm sure Pix will finish this within time easily. 😉

[@eMe_peridot_hare]

...as always on these SMP-style series Pix your timelapses are an absolute masterpiece to witness. The music, the shaders, the moments of stillness and zoom-in like the wandering trader stepping through the grass, the bit where the camera stays fixed on the nether portal as its netherrack "roots" emerge from the stone.... And then poof! It ends in a puff of smoke. The whole range of emotions, comedy in tragedy. This is so fun 💚

[@LeopardMask12]

[@rays45678]

I immediately went and retold the story/joke of the timelapse to some other minecraft friends who may not watch him. Having this timelapse take ages, with epic music, camerawork so masterfully done for *digging a hole*, by the time he falls in you're like well this is nice but it sure is going on for awhile what in the world is happening here - Oh. So well done haha

"I don't foresee myself dying a great deal." Oh no. That was tempting the Minecraft fates. Also, I absolutely love your time lapses, music, editing, all of it. Love how you incorporated the wandering trader in the video. Total art. I can't wait to see what you make.

[@eMe_peridot_hare]

Ok I've been meaning to watch Mogswamp for ages now because I have a few friends who love his stuff, and Pixl is one of my favourite Minecrafters no matter the series or world... So this combo of Pix and Mogs is such a delight to watch aaaa what a treat!! So hyped for this new series!

[@GrifterMage]

Pixlriffs: "This project [...] is not going to be especially dangerous, so I don't forsee myself dying a great deal." Also Pixlriffs: *dies immediately*

[@sarahaufssri4529]

There's just something very satisfyingly minecraft about digging a really big hole

[@anastasiia_v]

So glad to learn there is no LORE on this server. No LORE at all. Will also look forward to there not being any lore going forward. (I'm so happy about this, this is a fantastic group of players and its always a delight to see you playing multiplayer)

[@darubyprincxx]

can't wait for this series, episode 1 is already looking awesome! i also love how fwhip said "no lore" and you instantly started tossing out some of the most implication-heavy awesome ideas i've heard in my life out the gate. good luck with The Perimeter! when you described your idea for it my immediate reaction was "what is this, a docm77 video?" gotta love digging big holes in minecraft. it's vital for enrichment

The timelapse of you digging was one of the best most pleasing scene from all the SOS videos I’ve seen so far! Also I audibly gasped when you fell through the floor 😂

[@zayamoone]

The duo of “has never played on a normal Minecraft world” Mogswamp and “creator of Minecraft Survival Guide” Pixlriffs is so nice

[@Braiba]

Loving this so far. Definitely an interesting concept. One that might be cool to go along with the tool-graves is making a mark inside the circle at the depth that the hole was when that tool was retired.

[@lovismoss7181]

Insofern the Pixl/Mog Interaction, especially with the clash of a „touch everything Minecraft survival has to offer“ playstyle and a superflachem survival player

I love the new editing and timelapse, when it zooms out on the world and zooming in on the chat!

[@juniper7339]

So excited for this! And for another SMP where Pix themes himself after remembering and death. (Mr. Pix, I think you've given yourself a character motif, and I'm delighted)

[@sikwilly45]

26:14 Reminds me of Lassie telling everyone that Timmy fell down the well.

[@WhatIsMyPorpoise]

I think it would have been cool to have grave markers placed on the perimeter of the digsite at the altitude at which it managed to dig, but that doesn't really work if you're offering others the opportunity to dig it too. Project sounds awesome.

[@thenamesthegame8936]

You could also add a rule of not destroying any structures you come across, such as the ruined portal, mineshafts or even a ancient city? Maybe find a way to incorporate them into the build somehow? Add to the *notlore*

[@Pixlriffs]

I plan to remove them if they're down there, but then rebuild them when I rebuild the terrain above. Hopefully I don't run into any unmoveable blocks like spawners or reinforced deepslate.

[@respectrealperson290]

Hiya Pix! You don't pick easy builds! You choose to do the fantastic meaningful builds!!! Love it, thank you.

[@mtaylo26]

Great video. I looked away for a second, and the music stopped. I was like, "Oh no, what happened?" 😢 You as a chicken was hilarious... 😂

[@PotatoFaceMakeup]

[@mtaylo26]

@PotatoFaceMakeup lol yes 🤣

[@SpencerPowell]

A fun idea I wanted to throw out there: you could take a section of your dig and do a Punch-A-Chunk challenge, either solo or with a friend. It could be a fun way to break up the monotony of the dig, assuming it doesn't break the whole system.

[@tehSunBro]

Pretty interesting to see you jump into such a massove scale project on a multiplayer server again, especially in such an unstable envirmonment like a hardcore-esque world and also after the anthill project getting cut short in Empires S1. Also is this gonna affect Survival Guide S3, are you planning on ever doing large scale projects like that in S3. Kinda feel like projects like the ski village or the massive digsite were highlights of S1 not to mention the museum.

[@Pixlriffs]

Everything I've built in Season 3 already feels like it's scaled up from what I usually do. Like the storage room, for example. Bigger projects are harder to sustain in Survival Guide unless I can split them up into a bunch of smaller projects to make individual videos on, but I want to do stuff like that in future, yes.

[@deborahsheets2604]

Pix your work with replay mod is immaculate!

[@lucifermorningstar2856]

Using item frame on all four sides to store broken tools will look great with some ambient lighting

I think we can all agree that Chixlriffs 🐓was the hero of the village today. Excited about the new adventures/projects! I would love a 'proper' intro, like the ones you did for Empires (albeit without the lore, of course), if not too late! They were super nice and were a nice easy lead into the series. Apologies if I have missed this and it exists already and of course, no worries if that's not on the cards. Will be watching either way :)

[@xanderridley-smith3613]

Counting the day/night cycle from your timelapse, I figure you spent somewhere around 8 hours mining all that (unless people were sleeping each night), which is crazy for a first episode. Well done man! Plus, what's with the not-having-a-water-bucket deal? Thats the first thing I make from my iron and it never leaves my side.
