With great risk comes great reward.
The cube clearly defines this quote.
In the cube, players are able to earn much, but lose it all if they make any false move.
YOU CAN LOSE ITEMS IN THIS EVENTGAMEPLAYThe object is to mine as many ores as possible. There are many emeralds, diamonds, gold, and other valuable ores. You are able to mine as much as you wish within about a 2 minute timer. There's only one catch. The cube is on a platform of bedrock until 1 minute passes, then the bedrock becomes lava. Not only that, there are lava pockets inside of the cube, just like in the Overworld. These lava pockets include multiple valuable ores, but as I have said, one false step will mean certain death.
When you feel you have sufficient amounts of ore, you may leave by using /spawn or /home. You could also wait the game out, but this method is risky because of the lava.
RECOMMENDATIONSA few things that might come in handy would be:
1. Fire Resistance is a big must have, it will protect you from any fire damage for 2 minutes or 8 minutes for extended potions.
YOU MUST USE THE POTION BEFORE YOU ENTER THE BEDROCK AREA, OTHERWISE IT CANNOT BE USED!
2. Of course, a pickaxe. There are many ores that require Iron and above. I would be careful bringing any enchanted pickaxes unless you have Fire Resistance potions.
3. Good reflexes and a good internet connection will be necessary if you wish to go along without a Fire Resistance potion.
TIPSMost of the best ores like Emeralds are further into the center. Remember, the closer to the center you get, the more chance of encountering lava there is.
One skilled miner can expect about 30 diamonds and 25 gold with a good pickaxe. Numerous other ores such as coal and redstone are hard to average. Not every block in the cube is an ore, there will be some other random blocks thrown into the mix, such as stone, sand, cobblestone, gravel, stone bricks, snow, etc.
FAQ1. Can you place blocks?
A: Yes, you may place blocks.
2. Is there any PVP?
A: No, PVP is not allowed in this event.
3. Can I lose my stuff?
A: YES, the game would be too easy if there wasn't any risk.
4. Will I have to supply a pickaxe?
A: Yes, you will need to bring a pickaxe unless you know someone that will.
5. Can I keep the ores I mine?
A: Yes, any blocks you mine are yours to keep.
6: How do I leave the game?
A: You can either do /spawn or /home if you have set a home location. /spawn is the easiest way to get back.
