Synopsis[]
Yellow teaches everything he knows about Redstone, then challenges the others to make the most ridiculous contraption they possibly can.
Plot[]
After the tragic and horrific events in Season 1 in the cave of the cave spiders, they all get back together with Yellow to learn some redstone contraptions.
Blue, The Second Coming, and Green all shrug and wait for Yellow to appear from offscreen. Yellow then takes a bite of an apple and throws it. Yellow smacks down his stick and points at the rest of the Stick Figures. They all sit down. Yellow proceeds to place an item frame and put redstone in it. He points at it and everybody else nods. Yellow points at everybody angrily and everybody starts jumping slightly.
The other stick figures quickly start writing in their journals. Yellow snappily places down a redstone ore block. He then mines it for four redstone. The stick figures write. Yellow grabs the redstone and a stick and crafts it into a redstone torch. The others get bored and Yellow points at them with the redstone torch. The others write it down. Yellow does some redstone components with torches and lamps. The other stick figures write it all down. Yellow places a lever and flicks it, causing everybody including Yellow to fall down.
Underground, there is a sign saying INPUTS and item frames with it. Everybody opens and flicks each of their chests, levers and buttons. Each causes them to activate a lamp. Yellow flicks another lever, and they go down to the outputs section, featuring a door, a piston, a dispenser, and a powered rail. They flick their levers, each device gets activated. Yellow points at them again and they all start to write. Scrolling down, they are now doing repeaters. Yellow shows the others tick on repeaters. Yellow then flicks a lever showing how ticks work. In the item transport section, Yellow throws something in a hopper and then the minecart chest goes and fires a cookie out of a dispenser. Proceeding, Yellow shows observers and how they work. After that, Yellow shows pistons, which he uses to open up a door into a small room. He then rides on a flying machine over to another lever. He pulls it and the floor opens, taking everybody down. Minecarts go with all of the stick figures and goes through the logic gates, all the while Red, The Second Coming, Green, and Blue take meticulous notes.
They stop at the bubble elevator and ride it upwards back to their classroom. As the others dry out their waterlogged books, Yellow then gives everybody redstone components. While they are initially confused, Yellow pulls out a trophy and tasks them with creating a redstone contraption, the best of which will earn its builder the trophy. Each of them immediately get excited and rush out to begin their projects.
Everybody starts with their projects, Red tests rails and a minecart and Blue uses a button on a dispenser to make an automatic Netherwart farm. The Second Coming eventually makes a version of Whack-A-Mole. He plays it, but then sees Green with a version of Dance Dance Revolution. The music is from AVM Shorts Episode 5.Disappointed, The Second Coming started to rebuild his creation. Meanwhile, Green finishes playing. He sees The Second Coming playing Pong, using redstone lamps as pixels. When he is finished (he won all 5 rounds because he was playing against himself), he sees Green playing Tetris. The Second Coming started to rebuild his creation. Meanwhile, Yellow was playing with his redstone torch until he burnt himself. He then checked the time and, seeing it was evening, went to see the projects. First, he sees Red's machine, which cleans pigs. and it worked. Impressed, Yellow applauds and scribbles some notes down, but after he left, the pig jumped in some mud in and got dirty again. Next, he sees that Blue's machine make soup. Blue offered it to Yellow, only to find out that he was leaving, jotting down notes once again. Next, he sees The Second Coming's machine, which was a 2D version of Mario and Minecraft. The Second Coming shows Yellow how to play, Yellow nods and claps, then Yellow leaves and sees Green, who had made the actual Minecraft. Yellow pats Green on the back and calls him over to determine the winner.
After examining his notes, Yellow decides a victor. He picks up the trophy, and despite The Second Coming's and Green's eager anticipation, Yellow walks right past them, gives it to Red--who is surprised but excited--and shakes his hand for a job well done. The Second Coming and Green can only stare in stunned disbelief until The Second Coming gives Green a trophy, but Green rejects. After some fight, Green accepts the gift, but The Second Coming pulls out a lever and the trophy punches Green in the face.

Trivia[]
- The music by Aaron Grooves from Note Blocks makes a brief appearance in Green's redstone contraption.
- Storywise, Green is also the "composer" of the music, so it would be implied that he used the recent redstone knowledge to recreate the music.
- Several other popular mini-games were also featured: Whac-A-Mole, Pong, Tetris, 2D Minecraft and Minecraft emulated within Minecraft.
- This episode is the first and thus far only time Red has won a build battle.
- In the full Season 2 release, the underground scene is shorter than the original episode's. In fact, the gate scene is skipped.
- According to Alan, he said this in the description in the full Season 2 release of AVM Shorts: "This was a good season. I made some edits to a few episodes, see if you can spot them!" This means it is an example of an edit to one of the episodes.
