I invited 100 random Minecraft players to this server, and whichever one of these people mines 1 million blocks first gets $30,000. But what we didn't know is that it would take over 100 hours of non-stop mining to find a winner. Drop the
100 Minecraft players compete to mine 1 million blocks first for $30,000 in a 100+ hour challenge with evolving strategies and alliances.

gates. They're mining all the leaves, the easiest thing to mine apparently. If you make an iron hoe in Minecraft, you can tear through leaves like it's nobody's business. Just look at how fast this graph is growing from only breaking
Speaker A
leaves. GK 41 is in the lead. No, GK, so far you're in first place. That's so, is your strat to just mine 1 million leaves? Leaves, leaves, leaves? Yeah, that's it. Wait, Jimmy, why are we talking to GK? He's not
Speaker A
in first anymore. Later. I told them in the free game to mine as many blocks as they could, but I didn't tell them what the goal was. I'm going to join their call. Oh my God, I didn't tell you guys this
Speaker A
beforehand, but the first person to mine 1 million blocks gets $30,000. 30,000. Whoever has the best strategy wins. Oh, first thousand, someone hit their thousand already. Sher, you're in first place. Do you think you're going
Speaker A
to win? Probably not, but at least I can keep the lead for now. You do realize this is probably going to take you an entire week? I will go till it's over. A lot of people are doing the good old
Speaker A
shears versus leaves strat. That's a short-term play in my opinion. We ran some code, and there's only 1.7 million leaves on the entire map. If you divide all the leaves amongst all the players, there's only 177,000 leaves per player,
Speaker A
so they're going to quickly have to find a new strategy. This is Lasher, currently in first place. Once the top players reached 10,000 blocks, everyone got so frustrated that they started chasing them around to slow him down. What's he
Speaker A
going to do? Is he going to try to lava bucket? Oh, he is. Lasher, welcome to the call. Oh, hello. You maintain first place while dodging someone trying to kill you? I had a feeling they were trying to do
Speaker A
that. You're just over 1% done. What's going through your mind? I got school. I don't think I'm going to be the first person to hit 1 million. I can give it my best shot. Lasher stayed in the lead for a
Speaker A
few hours, but players started getting creative with their strategy. Some players in the top 10 started looking for diamonds and geared up early for the long game, while others were recruiting people to team up with and finding diamonds and enchanting materials. We are
Speaker A
now a few hours into the competition, and someone built this house. Lasher, hello, it's been hours and you're still in first place. Think about it this way: every single block you've mined up to this point, you would get a
Speaker A
dollar for it. Is that crazy? That is insane. Keep digging, don't stop. What, do you want to lose first place? We just hate 30 grand in second place is I am Argo at 30,000 blocks, and in third place
Speaker A
is Momo Monkey with about the same. They're both about 2,000 blocks away from first place. This challenge is far from over. Argo, welcome to the chat. No, hi, you're in second place. What's going through your mind? I'm going to go the
Speaker A
first, maybe. Hey, let's go. Hey, if you can guess the number I'm thinking of, I'll give you this netherite hoe. I wasn't thinking of any numbers, so Argo, this might go on for days. Are you prepared? I mean, I have an exam on Saturday, so I
Speaker A
don't know. Are you going to study tonight? No, good play Minecraft and win. Yo, wait, wait, someone's trying to kill M. Wait, what? He doesn't want to win, he just wants to ruin other people's chance. Robert Killer, why were you trying to
Speaker A
kill Momo Monkey 05? I don't like monkeys. Fair enough. Wait, there's one right beside you right now? Yeah, there's another monkey. Oh, Robert, jump in the water. Robert, you're clearly not in the top 10 leaderboard. You have zero shot of
Speaker A
winning the 30 grand. Yeah, your family's probably going to hate you. Yeah, I know. Robert Killer, if you kill the person in first place, I'll give you 5 grand. I guess I have to murder someone. Go find him. And due to the sheer amount of
Speaker A
players in this challenge, we had our mods monitor them and also ask them what those strategies were. I think my playtime is about 1.7 days. I go to one location, replant, go spawn, go to another location, replant there. That's kind of
Speaker A
what I've been trying to do. Being to a psychiatrist, I might have insomnia. Kind of works in my favor in this situation. We officially crossed the 50-hour mark, over 2 days of digging. All these people right here are sharing your chest.
Speaker A
Surprisingly, there's stuff in here that hasn't been stolen. Maybe gamers can come together. Yo, guys, guys, Dream's here. Irish Dream. Ah, top of the morning to you. Speedrunning, it's your mortal enemy Technoblade. This is the gentleman currently in first place. You're
Speaker A
destroying second place. What is going on? But the efficiency, shears first. How confident are you that you're going to win? Like 50/50. That's not very confident at all, seeing how you have a 160,000 block lead. I may or may not have to put a
Speaker A
one-time bounty on your head. Everybody, attention MrBeast, MrBeast, congratulations on surviving 50 hours. As a reward, we're going to turn on PvP. Have fun. First person to kill Argo gets $5,000. Oh, he's going. Oh, they're on the
Speaker A
move. We got our first hunter. He wants money. He might win. Oh, he's running. He knows there's no chance. Oh no, Argo has a gapple. You're in second place, and you literally just lost everything. Uh, yeah, why would you go
Speaker A
after him without hiding your stuff? 'Cause I thought he was solo. I didn't know he had his teammates with him. I also didn't know that Argo had a teammate named Subscribe MrBeast, so I put a $5,000 bounty
Speaker A
on him as well. Subscribe to MrBeast is here. Yo, everyone swore me. Everybody's too scared to go against him. The entire server is following him. He's busted out of gapple. He's busted out of gapple. Oh wait, more people are coming in. Oh my gosh,
Speaker A
it's going to happen. Oh, there it is. Meteoros Bros, you killed Argo. How did you do it? I spent 10 minutes trying to log into the server. I just immediately went to spawn and just tried to kill him. So that means you
Speaker A
get $5,000. Oh my God. So what are you doing? Go kill the other one. Go, go, go, go, go. Okay, all right, all right. This is crazy. They built a freaking pyramid and a bridge. This is a mining contest, not a building one. And by
Speaker A
the way, in fourth place is a player I'm calling One Q. His strategy was probably the smartest one on the entire server. The player count in the server dropped really low, so we decided to open it back up to the public, and a lot of new people
Speaker A
joined, one of which was One Q. One Q, you joined late. You literally joined this competition 8 hours later than everyone else, but if you look at the graph, you quickly started to catch up. I went ahead and started building a platform, and a
Speaker A
bunch of people found my tree farm and started helping me out, and it just kept expanding and expanding. All the new players formed an alliance called Team Trees, and they were determined to take down Argo. We have almost half to serve
Speaker A
helping us out. Go find some leaves, hurry. I want at least to get top three to show what our efforts did. Argo was holding a very steady first place lead over Frank. They made progress while having a $5,000 bounty on their head.
Speaker A
That's pretty impressive. What is Argo going to give you of that money? I mean, you're slaving away helping him. He's got to share it with you. Yeah, I'm going to get one third. Well, go help him. These two
Speaker A
guys were unstoppable. Literally, around 20 people were constantly hunting Argo and Subscribe MrBeast, but their armor and weapons were so overpowered that they just couldn't take him down until this happened. How does that make you feel that basically everyone turned on you?
Speaker A
Guys, it was rough. Meanwhile, Cring was mining away peacefully with a friend helping him out. As you can see, Cring started catching up fast. I'm so motivated right now, like I'm actually going on him. What does your family think of
Speaker A
this challenge? My mom, she signed me up as sick for school. Your mom signed you up as sick so you can mine blocks in this challenge? Yes. 95 hours has passed. Up just lo...
Speaker A
was missing something huge Argo was missing an alliance late into the game one q and all of Team trees decided that they were on crank's side one Q why did you decide to team with crank well AO stole from us I didn't want to help out
Speaker A
AO he stole from Team trees yeah he stole XP and some of our tools let's go let's go almost there almost there go and they were doing whatever they could to help crank and stop others from building around him finish
Speaker A
