"Lucky Blocks" is the 19th episode of Animation vs. Minecraft Shorts, being the 5th and final episode of Season 2. It was a collaboration between several credited animators and one of the most complex animations in the series up to that point.
Synopsis[]
Based on a very popular mod for Minecraft.
Plot[]
Red is walking calmly across Alan's computer screen when an altar with a golden ? block spawns behind him. The others see it too. Blue tried to break it by jumping under it Super Mario Bros. style but it didn't work, so Red mined it and a bunch of Minecraft jewelry came out of it. The Second Coming tries to craft a lucky block but it didn't work, so Green showed him the recipe on Google: Put 8 gold bars around a dropper. The five stick figures each get a Lucky Block and each one has an incredible surprise: The Second Coming receives 5 cats. Red's block sets off some TNT, their damage which Red and Yellow repair. Blue receives a source of wishes with a gold nugget. When throwing the nugget into the source of wishes, potatoes come out, but Yellow and Green are not interested in potatoes, so they give it to Blue. And Green receives a Zombie with an enchanted sword and diamond Armor, who immediately attacks them.
While the others are busy fighting the zombie, Yellow inspects the lucky block by removing screws with his screwdriver that came from the toolbox, revealing a glowing yellow portal. Yellow entered the disassembled block and was brought to the Lucky Dimension where there are many things and mobs that do not attack unless they are removed from the dimension. Yellow explores the dimension, and he sees a strange block made of black dotted lines with a dotted question mark in the middle grab a wolf, and the wolf disappeared.
Meanwhile, Red broke another Lucky Block back in the PC and the wolf came out, who is now faithful to his master, who is Red. Yellow continues to explore the dimension until he sees a giant altar with an Orb that is the result from where objects and random creatures spawn. Yellow grabs the Orb and discovers that when controlled, it can spawn anything the user wants like golden apples, a cat, a rabbit on top of a chicken, a snow golem on top of a bat, a pig throwing gold nuggets, and a rainbow-powered wagon with golden rails. Yellow leaves the dimension with the Orb, and uses the power of the Orb to spawn a flying horse with golden Armor. He shows his friends the magic Orb and gives them many gold ingots and incredible powers: Red receives bird wings, to fly with his well-bred wolf. Blue receives a Nether Wart Wand, which allows him to instantly plant Nether Warts anywhere instead of just in the soul sand. Green gets grappling hooks and swings away. And The Second Coming receives a creative hat (basically a small crafting table to wear on the head) that allows him to create things with his mind such as two sticks with three diamonds, and then create a diamond pickaxe, a stick with two diamonds and create a diamond sword, two stick with three diamonds with almost square shape and create a diamond axe, three wheats and create a bread and a pumpkin, a sugar and an egg create a pumpkin pie. The five have a lot of fun with their magnificent powers and Yellow also has fun building on the altar by placing gold blocks with a quartz ladder and continuing to add gold blocks on the sides of the altar.
But just then, the Orb possessed the body of Yellow, releasing his soul and enclosing it in a distant cell. Yellow's soul cannot get out of the far cell and sees his corrupted body attacking his friends using the maximum powers of the Orb. For example, he throws three anvils at Red and locks him in iron bars with lava on top to kill Red, Blue distracts Yellow's body by planting nether warts on his face using the Nether Wart Wand While The Second Coming throws two sticks with three diamonds at him to create a Diamond Pickaxe for Red to get out of his cell with the help of Green's hooks.
Yellow knew he had to save his friends in from the cell. Luckily, he had a lucky block that works for him to get to the dimension and go for another lucky block to get to ALANSPC, before reaching the ALANSPC, he is hit by the strange block that grab a badly worn iron sword. When he got to the desktop, Yellow's possessed body summons 3 withers to attack the stick figures while Yellow tries to stop his possessed body, but it doesn't work. The Second Coming uses a dropper with eight gold ingots to create a lucky block and the badly worn iron sword appears, but the sword almost immediately gets broken by one of the withers. Yellow thinks that the strange block that grabbed the sword, is how the item appeared when The Second Coming broke the lucky block. Yellow returned to the dimension to grab the strange block to grab a strange sword, but when looking at the strange block, He saw Alan Becker's desktop and saw the location of the transport, when pressing the location, he appears next to The Second Coming that is almost about to be attacked by a Wither skull, uses the strange sword made of watermelon and magma cream to kill the Withers.
The Second Coming, Green, and Red celebrate, but they didn't notice Yellow's corrupted body taking over Blue's body, causing Blue's soul to teleport to a cell, with Yellow's cell next to it. Blue saw the lucky block open to enter the dimension, where Yellow tells Blue to grab the strange block that is floating to stop their possessed bodies. Meanwhile, Blue's corrupted body fights The Second Coming with a strange sword, a prismarine bow and a hook until a baby zombie with full diamond Armor and a diamond sword appears to attack Blue's body, a shield and a flamethrower wand appear for The Second Coming. Blue's body kills the zombie baby and attacks The Second Coming, but The Second Coming used his flamethrower wand to stop him. Red and Green dodge the fireballs of Yellow's body on top of the desktop, Red flies with his wings and Green swings with his grapple hooks, a fireball appears in front of Red to attack Yellow's body, but the Yellow's body stops the fireballs while corrupting Green's body and giving it wings, Red flies away and sees that The Second Coming was also corrupted by Blue's body. Since The Second Coming and Green were corrupted by the Orb, they entered the dimension to unite with the souls of Yellow and Blue. The 4 stick figures sent Red diamond Armor, a bow with an explosive arrow, a diamond sword and a multi-effects potion. Red is seemed to be slightly creeped out and confused, but eventually grabs the items and prepares to fight the possessed bodies along with two skeletons, a super zombie and two Withers.
During the fight, the souls helped Red to protect themselves such as: fireworks get away from Green's body, a pig that shoots a fireworks from its rear, shields to avoid the arrows that are shot by the possessed bodies, and 4 allies! A wolf to attack the skeletons, a bee to stop an arrow, a Slime to distract the Withers and a large magma cube to attack the zombies, but they all died easily. Yellow's body grabbed Red by his head and slowly started to corrupt him. The souls of the stick figures try their best to help Red, but nothing works because the other possessed bodies are protecting Yellow's body from being attacked. Before the body of Red was corrupted, Red throws a Pig spawner egg as a substitute god, the souls put carrots on top of Yellow's body to guide it, and the possessed bodies try to kill the pig, until the pig was propelled to hit Yellow's body on the head and dislodge the Orb. The Orb returns to the great altar in the dimension of the Lucky Blocks where it belongs, the souls return to their bodies, and all the things spawned by the Orb and the Lucky Blocks disappear. The Second Coming shows his friends another Lucky block made of emeralds, and this scares the stick figures, causing them to run away.
