The Mines

The Mines is the seventh episode of the first season of Minecraft. It was aired on January 5, 2021.

Plot
After New Year's Day, the snow melted, and the wind was completely gone, so Sherlock decided to go mining to collect valuable materials such as ore like coal, redstone, diamonds, iron, and gold. Because Sherlock did not know where the best place to mine was, he decided to go exploring around the world to find one, and his journey ended up taking him far beyond the spot where he first began his journey to find the land he wanted to settle on, which Sherlock decided to place a wooden marker point at the exact spot so that he could use it to find his way home.

At some point beyond the forest hills past the wooden marker point, Sherlock discovered tall, rocky mountains looming in the distance with caves surrounding the place, so Sherlock decided to go mining there. As he walked into one of the caves, he placed torches every step he took so that he could use it to guide him along his mining trip.

Sherlock's mining adventure was made extra difficult due to several monsters lurking in the cave and several lava pits surrounding him, but as time progressed, he managed to collect valuable materials along the way, yet all the mining caused a strain on many of his pickaxes, which required him to use crafting tables to make new ones.

As time progressed, Sherlock's inventory became full with several items collected from the mines, yet he was happy that he was able to collect a large amount of coal, iron, redstone, and diamonds. However, he could not find much gold or lapis, and Sherlock did not want to leave the mines without ensuring that he acquired enough gold and lapis.

Eventually, Sherlock stumbled upon another cave, yet he was running out of torches, and after using the last of his pickaxes to mine some gold and diamonds nearby, Sherlock decided that he would leave the mines with his materials. As Sherlock was finding his way out of the cave, he accidentally tripped and fell into a pit of lava.
