== Summary ==
[[Minecraft:Alsmiffy]], [[Minecraft:djh3max]], and [[Minecraft:Trottimus]] come out of their house wearing Halloween costumes. They cross a wooden bridge and walk along a [[Minecraft:stone]] path, where the music becomes distorted. They come across a sinister mansion and it abruptly turns nighttime, with lightning flashing as the trio advanced. They find themselves at the [[Minecraft:iron door]]s swarmed by [[Minecraft:bat]]s before entering the mansion. After checking,they walk through the corridor lined with alternating [[Minecraft:torch]]es on [[Minecraft:item frame]]s and ''Wither'' [[Minecraft:painting]]s. Two invisible [[Minecraft:sword]]-wielding figures wearing pieces of dyed [[Minecraft:leather armor]] pass by the trio. At the end of the hall, they find themselves in a room where two [[Minecraft:witch]]es cook a [[Minecraft:villager]] in a [[Minecraft:cauldron]], staring at the players. The team then continued to another room filled with [[Minecraft:bookshelves]] and [[Minecraft:head]]s placed on walls, then to another hall, this time with item frames with [[Minecraft:pumpkin pie]]s, [[Minecraft:golden carrot]]s, and [[Minecraft:cobblestone wall]]s placed inside. Along the way, they come across two invisible leather-armored [[Minecraft:pig]] riders.

Stopped by a [[Minecraft:lava]] pit, they turn to a door leading outside where they encounter nine [[Minecraft:blocks of emerald]] laid flat, topped with a [[Minecraft:sign]] reading "BEACON AWAITS YOU IN [[Minecraft:The Nether|THE NETHER]]... good luck lol". The trio runs to a [[Minecraft:Nether portal]] where the sign placed on a [[Minecraft:command block]] reads "It's dangerous to go... ... as a trio... Take this!" and they go in. In the Nether, Alsmiffy is equipped with green-dyed leather armor, Trottimus yellow, and djh3max light blue. The team comes across a [[Minecraft:wither]]-spawning structure with the missing central [[Minecraft:wither skeleton skull]] placed on the ground. Alsmiffy places the skull where it belongs and spawns a wither, which explodes at the team who starts fighting it. Alsmiffy collects the dropped [[Minecraft:Nether star]] which somehow ends up in Trottimus's hand. The team takes a newly crafted [[Minecraft:beacon]] to the [[Minecraft:Overworld]] and in place of the sign on the emerald patch, activating the beacon. The camera slowly zooms up, revealing that the wooden part of the castle's roof is shaped like 1.4.
