Mindcrack Server

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Guude Boulder Fist, Minecraft Lets Play sensation, made a server in 2010 called "Mindcrack". He summoned forth the greatest minds of Minecraft Let's Play, such as EthosLab, DocM77, BDouble0100, Kurtjmac, Zisteau, MCGamer and many more. The invite-only server has spawned many Let's Plays from most of its residents, spawning prank wars and competitions, such as the Ultra Hardcore series.


Tropes used in Mindcrack Server include:

In General

The Ultra Hardcore Series

  • Assassin Outclassin': In Season 5, Zisteau is given a perfect opportunity to strike down Guude. Guude is working at a workbench, distracted, and Zisteau charges at him from behind. After getting hit once, Guude immediately realizes what is happening, dodges Zisteau's next attack, draws his own weapon, and then proceeds to trounce him.
  • Attack Animal: Wolves are often employed by contestants to aid in combat. Notable examples include Season 6, where BDoubleO is killed when he confuses Pause's wolf for his own, the finale of Season 4B, during which two players manage to defeat four, with the help of about fifteen wolves, and Season 3, in which Kurtjmac's wolf saves his life during a fight against Pause.
  • Animals Hate Him: Despite having a wolf companion in his single-player series, Far Lands or Bust, Kurt seems to be having bad luck with them in Ultra Hardcore. Season 6 marks the third consecutive season in which he was killed by a wolf, and the second in which he was killed by his own wolf.
  • Bleep, Dammit!: "I just made too much fuckin' sticks, god dang it!"
  • Can't Get in Trouble For Nuthin': Contestants will often wander for days trying to find another contestant to get into a fight with.
  • Eliminated From the Race: The contestants must gather food, hunt animals and fight each other to be the last man standing. Viewers enjoy choosing a contestant to cheer for, and follow their point of view on their Youtube channel. There is always much disappointment from fans when a contestant is eliminated.
  • Good Is Not Soft: This becomes very apparent in Season 6 when the cheerful, bubbly, moutermouthed Anderz turns out to be an incredibly daring spelunker, and an archer to be feared.
  • Happy Flashback: In Season 4b, this occurs right before the final showdown in Guude's and BDoubleO's perspectives.
  • Harder Than Hard: Ultra Hardcore presents a whole new challenge: not only do the contestants not respawn after dying, but you can only regain health through golden apples or health potions. Having a full hunger bar does nothing.
  • I Am Not Left-Handed: Throughout Season 6, Zisteau was spending his time making paintings, setting random fires and getting increasingly drunk. Nearly all the damage he took was self-inflicted, either by stumbling off a cliff or accidentally setting a fire below his feet. He also made it to the final four. One can only imagine what he would be capable of if he were to take the contest seriously.
  • Idiot Ball: Kurt gets saddled with this on occasion, as seen when he obsesses over "resetting his spawn" in Season 3 and complains about how hard it is to get string while walking right past cobwebs in Season 6.
  • Mutual Kill: Occurs with Pause and Nebris in S6E5 of Ultra Hardcore.
  • Opposing Combat Philosophies: In Season 3, Kurt and Pause fight each other a few episodes in. With Pause being well established as the most aggressive fighter of the group, and Kurt being a very cautious and defensive combatant, their showdown is the embodiment of this trope.
  • Out of the Inferno: In Season 3, Etho and Pause meet in the nether. Pause charges and Etho retreats, using his flint and tinder to erect a barrier of fire between them, clearly hoping to give his attacker pause for thought. Pause charges through the fire, unflinching, and knocks Etho off a cliff, killing him.
  • Shocking Elimination: In Season 5, Kurtjmac, who nearly won Season 3, led his team to victory in Season 4A, acted as superb bait in Season 4B, and has generally established himself as one of the most skillful contestants, is eliminated due to a glitch before he even meets another player.
  • Skewed Priorities: In Season 6, one of Zisteau's main goals is to find sheep in order to get wool for the sole purpose of making paintings.
  • Sniper Duel: In Season 3, the season finale comes down to one between Kurt and Guude.
  • Trap Master: In Season 5, Nebris promises his viewers that he will set a trap before he dies, and sure enough, he eventually pulls it off. Pity nobody tripped it during the battle proper.
  • Walking the Earth: Many of the contestants in Seasons 3, 5 and 6 spend most of their time wondering the map without a home, searching for other players to kill.
