Plot This is a broad overview of the plot. Certain decisions made by the player will alter the details of specific events.
Season 1 (2015–16) In a flashback, the Order of the Stone, consisting of Gabriel, Soren, Ivor, Ellegaard, and Magnus, defeats the Ender Dragon. In the present day, Jesse, his friends Axel and Olivia, and his pet pig Reuben prepare for the EnderCon building competition. The Ocelots, a rival team, attempt to sabotage their build, spooking Reuben. Jesse is attacked while rescuing him but Petra saves them, who convinces Jesse to help her sell a Wither skull. The buyer, Ivor, tricks them and escapes with it. They pursue him and discover that Ivor plans to attack Gabriel using a Wither Storm. The group tries to stop it, but are unsuccessful. After recruiting Magnus and Ellegaard, they then head to Soren's lab, hoping that his Formidi-Bomb can destroy the Wither Storm, which Jesse uses, although either Magnus or Ellegaard dies in the process. However, the beast reforms in three clusters. The group, joined by Gabriel or Petra, escape. After that, Ivor takes the group to his lab to enchant a weapon which can destroy the Command Block. Jesse builds the enchanted weapon and destroys the command block, ultimately killing the Wither Storm, but not before the beast kills Reuben. Soon after, the group finds an enchanted Flint and Steel, which Ivor reveals that the "Old Builders" created it and supposedly the "Eversource", a chicken that lays spawn eggs. Jesse, Ivor, Lukas, and Petra return to the temple and open a portal, leading them to Sky City. The group eventually finds the Eversource, but Aiden, the leader of a rival group called the Blaze Rods, steals it. Jesse defeats Aiden, who is imprisoned in the new Sky City. Jesse's group retrieve the Flint and Steel and try to return home through another portal, but find themselves in a portal-filled corridor. While travelling between them, they arrive in a graveyard with an invite to a supposed party in a nearby mansion, in which they meet others who were lured into it, among them Cassie Rose. After three of the attendees are killed by traps, the group discovers that the culprit is Cassie, who is then imprisoned in her own trap. Jesse and their companions meet the computer PAMA, which has the ability to put Redstone Mind-Control Chips on mobs and humans, which are put on Petra and Lukas. Jesse and Ivor escape from with aid by Harper, the scientist who created PAMA. She takes them to her lab to retrieve something to deactivate PAMA, where Jesse frees either Lukas or Petra from PAMA's control before Harper gets kidnapped. After finding Harper's headset (which allows the user to control PAMA's forces), Harper directs Jesse to PAMA's core and tells them to remove the block powering PAMA: the Redstone Heart, before she is captured and chipped. Using this information, Jesse infiltrates PAMA's core and deactivates three of its processing towers (Harper being freed from PAMA's control after destroying the third). After ripping out the heart, Jesse frees Petra/Lukas and the rest of the citizens under PAMA's control. Back in the portal corridor, Harper reveals the Atlas which can help Jesse's group return home. The Old Builders, consisting of Hadrian, Mevia, and Otto, imprison Jesse and force him to compete in games to win his friends' freedom, but Jesse makes a deal with Otto to free his friends, before battling and defeating Hadrian and Mevia with the aid of Harper and the other imprisoned fighters, allowing them and the group to return home.
Season 2 (2017) While adventuring with Petra, Jesse, now the mayor of Beacontown, encounters a bottomless pit with a mysterious Prismarine gauntlet inside, which attaches to Jesse's hand. They are joined by Jack and his villager friend Nurm to an ocean monument, which they narrowly escape. Jesse closes up the pit, and the Admin, appearing as a Prismarine Colossus, tracks them to Beacontown. Jesse defeats the Admin, who returns as a snowman. The Admin challenges Jesse and their friends – joined by their new intern Radar, Stella, the leader of rival town Champion City, and Lluna, her pet llama – to retrieve a giant clock at his ice palace. After tackling the challenges and destroying the clock, Vos, Jack's supposed old friend, reveals himself to be the Admin the whole time, and imprisons Jesse and their friends at the Sunshine Institute. After saving Xara, one of the former Admins, and escaping the Institute, the group heads below the bedrock to the Oasis, her old town. Xara reveals that the Admin's real name is Romeo, and that there was a third Admin, Fred, who, prior to his death, created a weapon powerful enough to strip Romeo of his powers. After helping the people of the Oasis, Jesse, Petra and Jack head back up in preparation to fight Romeo. As a show of power to the residents of Beacontown, Romeo, who has impersonated Jesse, either destroys Champion City, or if Jesse had not given Xara her bed at the Oasis, strangles her to death when she attempts to attack him. Romeo begins to cover the world in bedrock, the group arrives at the "Terminal Space", the home of the Admin, where Jesse obtains Fred's gauntlet. Jesse fights Romeo, and strips him of his powers. Jesse can either leave Romeo for dead or take him for redemption; if they had left Fred's people for dead, Romeo would distract the monsters in Terminal Space, allowing Jesse and their friends to escape at the cost of his own life. With Nurm or Lluna saved from the Sunshine Institute, and if Jesse chose to save Fred's people, Radar returning from the Oasis, Jesse can either stay as mayor of Beacontown, or leave, potentially leaving Radar as mayor, to go on adventures with Petra. == Episodes ==
