    • Sigh in disbelief and take a drink if mining the diamonds causes Lava to pour out and destroy them.
      • Take a drink if you see the lava coming, try to retrieve the diamonds before they're destroyed, and get set on fire for your efforts. Take another if this kills you.
  • Take a sip for every unwanted enchantment on your only diamond sword.

      • Another if water flows out and destroys the entire contraption.
    • You have absolutely no clue why the machine isn't working even though it makes sense in your head.
    • You're too drunk to build something that works.

  • Have yourself a hearty laugh and a drink if you find a cave full of zombies holding eggs.
    • Quit laughing and start chugging that whole bottle if the horde of zombies murders you within seconds.
  • Take a sip if an Enderman teleports into your house. Another for each of these conditions:
    • It's raining, so you can't just push it outside.
    • It's nighttime, so you're stuck fighting off monsters or hiding in the ground until it leaves.
    • You don't have a pumpkin, so you have no means of preventing it from attacking you.
  • Take a sip for each Phantom that spawns at night because you forgot to sleep for three days.
    • Take a shot for each Phantom that tries to attack you, but gets stopped by some sort of barrier, be it a tree, overhang, window, or what have you. Take two if it just sticks there and stares at you.

    Modded Minecraft 
Note: Apply the Survival Singleplayer rules here, but for those rules, take a sip instead of a shot.
  • Take a shot whenever you have absolutely no idea how to make something.
    • Another if you give up and decide to look on the forum page for the recipe.
    • Another if the forum page says the recipe but doesn't show the shape the items need to be placed in.
      • One last shot if it shows the recipe shape and ingredients, but doesn't explain how to get the ingredients.
    • Void in more recent versions, where Not Enough Items or Just Enough Items is available. Instead, take a small sip every time you need to use one of these mods to look up a recipe, but take two shots if they don't help.
      • If you're playing on a GregTech-based or otherwise “expert” modpack, don't bother (if you do, limit yourself to very very tiny sips per recipe), but take a sip whenever you don't have enough raw resources for a needed item (only raw resources, you'd die two hours in if intermediates mattered too), a shot if you attempt to use the normal recipe for an item with an edited recipe, three shots if NEI or JEI tells you nothing.
  • Take a drink if you try to do something and your game crashes.
  • Take two shots if your game has sudden FPS drops.
    • Another two if you didn't have this problem with vanilla Minecraft.

  • If playing with Botania, read the entire Lexica Botania entry for every block and item from that mod that you're using for the first time in a world. If you notice and recognize a Shout-Out (don't forget to look at the tooltips and italicized text at the bottom of the final pages), take a drink.
  • Take a sip whenever you need to craft a new storage block to store your items. A vanilla large chest counts as one storage block.
    • Take a whole drink instead for every time you craft a storage block with at least 81 slots, such as a small storage crate from Actually Additions.
    • Take a drink for each fully portable storage item (such as a backpack). Two drinks for an item with more than 54 slots (such as an enchanted satchel) or an ender pouch, three for a Refined Storage portable grid. Another one if you insert a 16k disk in the portable grid, finish the bottle if it's 64k or larger.
    • When you start using a mod like Applied Energistics 2 or Refined Storage, take a sip for each 1k or 4k storage disk or cell, a small drink for a 16k disk or cell, but a whole drink if it's 64k and two drinks if 256k or larger (only with addons).
      • Take a shot whenever you add a new disk drive to a network after the first.
  • Take a shot if you can make armor or tools out of something that makes zero sense as armor.
    • Take another shot if it is on par, or stronger than Diamond.
  • Take two shots if two mods have similar items and you can't tell the difference.

    • Take another shot if the forums/wiki does not explain how to use it.
    • Take another shot if the item starts with entity or something like that.
    • Finish the bottle if not knowing how to use said block, tool or contraption results in massive amounts of destruction from misuse, for example draconic reactors (Draconic Evolution) or nuclear reactors (IndustrialCraft, ReactorCraft in 1.7.10, NuclearCraft in later versions).
  • Take a drink every time you have to build a multiblock.
    • Take another if you underestimated how much space the multiblock will make.
      • Chug the bottle if you build it and then find you did a mistake while building/didn't have enough materials.
  • Take a drink if the machine you need to build for progression requires a lot of clay/bricks.
  • Take a small drink if you find you don't have enough iron for your next project.
    • Take a bigger drink and facepalm if you used a lot of iron earlier on tools/armor.
  • If playing on a server, take a shot if someone skips the night and you wanted to do Astral Sorcery.
    • On more recent versions, take a shot when Phantoms show up and you want to do Astral Sorcery.
    • Take a shot when you are about to craft something from Astral Sorcery just as the night ends.
      • Take a celebratory shot if you manage to succeed anyway.
  • Take a drink whenever you unlock a new Thaumcraft research.
    • Take a shot if the research gives you Warp.

  • Take a shot when you increase your max health through Spice of Life.
  • Take a shot when you don't understand a mod and the documentation it gives is not helpful.
    • Take another if there isn't anything helpful you can find online either.
  • Take two shots if the custom tool you made is inferior to a vanilla one you can get at the same time.
  • Take a drink if a modded mob destroys part of or all of your house.
    • Take a second drink if it did so while Mob Griefing was set to false.

    Streams and Let's Plays 
  • One shot per Rage Quit.
    • Take another if they get so mad on the scarecam that they actually break something.
    • Take another if there's someone else in the scarecam with them who promptly laughs their asses off.
  • Take a shot when someone dies in Hardcore; a respectful one if it was just bad luck and a mocking one if it was a really stupid mistake.
  • Take one shot if someone loses their Diamonds (or their life) to lava because they didn't mine around them first.
  • A shot for every time someone dies by breaking one of the basic survival rules (don't dig straight down, don't go up to a cliff edge without checking behind you for Creepers, be super careful around lava, always watch for pits when mining in the Nether, etc). Take another one if it wasn't a noob, but an experienced player who really should have known better.
  • Related to the above, take a shot every time you find yourself yelling "IDIOT!" at the screen.
  • In streams, take a shot if they die because of bad advice from chat.
  • A shot when someone accidentally throws an item into lava. Two if it was Diamond equipment. Three if it was enchanted Diamond equipment.
  • Take a shot when someone dies in Hardcore in a way that they can see it coming and fly into a panic, ie being trapped by mobs or sinking in lava.
  • Take a shot when someone is cock-of-the-walk in their enchanted Diamond gear...then panics when they see a Witch.
  • A shot whenever someone has exceptionally bad luck, ie getting caught between two Creepers in a tunnel, being blown up by a mob falling into a Pyramid treasure chamber, getting pushed off a cliff by a random cow, etc.
  • Take a shot if someone starts talking to the viewers and is so caught up in it they get surprised by a Creeper.
  • A shot every time someone accidentally burns down or blows up their own house.
  • Laugh and take a shot if someone accidentally kills their pet...then take a shameful sip if it actually makes them cry.
  • If you're watching a Gamers React or Minecraft Royale Compilation, take a sip for every clip of Forsen or XQC.
