"Cave Spider Roller Coaster" is the 14th episode of the Animation vs. Minecraft Shorts series, being the 14th and final installment of Season 1. It is also the most-viewed video on Alan Becker's channel, with 478 million views as of October 2025.

Synopsis[]

It's like the Roller Coaster Episode except with spiders.

Plot[]

With the group reunited after the events of The Dolphin Kingdom, The Second Coming and the Fighting Stick Figures must find their way out of a complex hollow network of a mineshaft, in order to reach a portal back home. Blue, Yellow and Green hear echoing noises throughout the gallery, they notice that The Second Coming and Red had vanished. Surprised, they look around in fear, as one of the cave spiders grabs Yellow from above and takes him away.

Following the creature, Blue and Green stumble upon a colony of spiders, feeding their queen. Green distracts the spiders by swinging around using his fishing rod as a grappling hook, while Blue hurries over to his unconscious comrades. He tries to shake them awake, only to discover that they had all been poisoned, and their health was half gone. Blue gives them each a drink of milk from a bucket, and they all wake up. Blue grabs Yellow and they run away back down the tunnel they had entered by. Just then Green jumps down from the wall, rolls, and jumps up and follows his comrades.

To escape the army of spiders, they must all ride in a single mine cart. It is a good thing they are all skinny stick figures, or else all five of them never would have fit in there. However, the arachnids kept chasing after them, riding more carts. With much struggle despairing spiders away, the stick figures fall down due to an obstructed portion of the railway. They escape such a fate by being carried by spawned chickens attached to leads, reaching a platform and a portal present in it. A unit, however, informs the Queen, who immediately runs in an attempt to stop the sticks and consume them.

The queen spider reaches the fugitives, who barely escape the dimension. The Queen confronts and defeats all of the Fighting Stick Figures, trapping them in web to eat them later. Moments before killing The Second Coming, she is distracted by a random wither flying out of the portal, who fights the Queen, whose fate is unknown. Upon arrival in the Nether, Second Coming brings the Fighting Stick back to consciousness with milk, and crosses the place back to the portal which leads them to the desktop. The group destroys the portal and stand there for a few moments, gasping for breath.

Errors[]

  • At timestamp 0:13, The Second Coming somehow has feet like his friends.
    The Second Coming's feet error

    The Second Coming's feet error

  • At timestamp 0:58, some spiders disappeared when the background spiders turn to look at Green.
  • At timestamp 1:09, the poison would already have faded so Red, Yellow and The Second Coming should have only been on half a heart.
  • At timestamp 1:54, The Second Coming got his crafting table out of nowhere.
  • At timestamp 3:06, the hearts and hunger bars vanish even though as shown earlier in the episode, and from the other ones they have the hearts and hunger bars.
  • At timestamp 3:34, The Second Coming and Green were only shown to have the dirt and rails from earlier, and then have multiple items in their inventory, some they didn't even get during the past episodes.
  • The physics in this episode are inconsistent. At timestamp 3:54, the minecart that the Stick Gang is in uses coyote time for a few seconds, but at timestamp 4:59, the minecart begins to fall immediately.
  • At timestamp 4:19, there were eight minecarts, but only six fell down in the other shot.
  • At timestamp 4:25, eleven minecarts land on the rails, though eight fell down earlier, but originally was only six.
  • At timestamp 5:33, Red is shown to have chicken spawn eggs and leads, though he didn't have them in SkyBlock or The Dolphin Kingdom.
