Watch the Episode!
"The Roller Coaster" is the 3rd installment in the Animation vs. Minecraft Shorts series, being the 3rd episode of Season 1.
Unofficial Synopsis[]
Yellow designs and makes a roller coaster for his friends to ride.
Plot[]
Yellow starts the episode by testing a pressure plate with many different items, like redstone lamps, pistons, and trapdoors. As he mines the trapdoor away, he accidentally mines through the taskbar. He then tries to cover it up with black wool, but it obviously stands out, so out of curiosity, he digs down for a while, until he reaches an abandoned mineshaft. This is where he discovers minecarts and rails. He removes the chest in the minecart, and rides it down a stretch of slanting rails and finds it great fun, but not nearly long enough - so he continues to build an incredible roller coaster entirely off-camera.
A while later, The Second Coming is talking to Red, Blue and Green, when they end up at the entrance of Yellow's completed Roller Coaster. The Second Coming takes one look down the long slanting tunnel and tries to leave, but Yellow stops him and forces him into the minecart. Everyone else climbs in as well. Yellow pushes them into the tunnel.
The tunnel goes through a series of ups and downs. The Second Coming and the others were scared at first, but soon enjoyed the ride. They continue to ride and get launched up by redstone-powered slime blocks, and wave at a statue of Yellow waving back at them. As they ride down the tunnel, The Second Coming and the others see the minecarts riding towards a giant pool of lava. At the last second, pistons underneath them retract and they fall down. Then they duck into their minecarts as the tunnel gets increasingly short, and then suddenly opens into a gigantic cavern. A bigger, more detailed statue of Yellow holding rails stands in the background. The stick figures ride on more redstone-powered slime blocks that bounce them across, then get separated and crisscrossed each other before riding back together as before. They go through a loop (which is not possible in Minecraft) and reach the end of the course. All of the sticks cheer as the redstone sign reads "THE END".
Except it really isn't over, because the redstone sign goes "...". Everyone stops cheering. And then the redstone sign reads, "JK" (which means Just Kidding). The blocks below the minecarts that the sticks are riding on retract and soon enough the sticks are riding again, this time faster than before, downwards to a ramp, the jump surrounded by burning netherrack leading to the real Yellow, who was waiting for his friends. He sees his friends riding down to the ramp and is excited to see them. But right when the sticks ride off the ramp, instead of flying through the fire towards Yellow, they just drop down, ending the episode. The outro states "#minecraftphysics".

Trivia[]
- The reason the minecarts just drop at the end instead of flying off is because in Minecraft physics, minecarts don't carry momentum the same way they would in real life, they just fall when they reach the end of the rails. This was later implemented in Java Edition with an experimental feature.
- Yellow is revealed to not have any blocks that match the Windows taskbar, but apparently got them alongside his friends between this episode and "Lucky Blocks" at some point.
- The Insane Pig is visible in the AvG Reacts thumbnail, but doesn't actually debut until the next episode.
Errors[]
- When Yellow pushes off the chest to move the minecart the first time, his inventory hotbar states that he's holding his diamond pickaxe, even though he'd dropped it.

- Next to the loop-de-loop, 2 support beams are closer together than normal.
