Heartwarming / Minecraft: Story Mode

Season 1

Episode 1: The Order of the Stone

• If Jesse goes after Reuben alone, their team will finally win the Endercon Building Competition and Jesse can tell Axel and Olivia how proud they are of them.
• If Jesse goes to get Gabriel's help to save Lukas, Gabriel will show genuine concern at Lukas' plight and would probably have rushed to help him if Ivor hadn't interrupted. Regardless of the later revelations, it seems Gabriel's heroic nature is genuine.
• Axel standing up to Ivor after he threatens Jesse.
• Jesse giving Lukas their cookie in the shelter (or Reuben if Jesse does not).

Episode 2: Assembly Required

• Jesse's reunion with whomever they saved in Episode 1 (Gabriel or Petra).

Episode 4: A Block and a Hard Place

• Jesse's speech after the defeat of the Wither Storm, where they can credit their friends and/or Reuben (after his Heroic Sacrifice) for their success.

Episode 5: Order up!

• Lukas and Petra comforting Jesse after the death of Reuben in Episode 4.
• If he is shown mercy, Aiden will apologise to Jesse and resolve to redeem himself.

Episode 7: Access Denied

• Jesse's relief after deactivating PAMA and saving either Lukas or Petra, hugging them tightly after they awaken.
• After they defeat PAMA, Petra/Lukas will remark about how glad they are to be unchipped. Petra says it's good to be "her" again. Lukas is relieved that he's regained his free will, and how he gets to choose where to go and what to say.

Episode 8: A Journey's End?

• After finally returning home, Jesse can call their friends "the best team anyone could ever ask for", which even Ivor finds touching.

Season 2

Episode 1: Hero in Residence

• Jesse and Petra's reconciliation after their argument in Champion City. Jesse can note that they "hate it" when they and Petra argue. Petra agrees, stating she'd "do anything" for Jesse.

Episode 2: Giant Consequences

• Lukas consoling Jesse after the destruction of Reuben's memorial and attempting to offer Jesse advice as they are caught between running Beacontown and adventuring, noting that he wants Jesse "to be happy" and that's what Reuben wanted for everyone, even affectionately referring to him as "that little pig"..
• Nurm hugging Jesse before they leave him and Beacontown to travel to the Admin's Palace.
• If Jesse goes with Lukas and Radar in the Icy Palace of Despair, Lukas befriending Radar and acting as somewhat of a mentor for him is incredibly sweet, especially when Jesse's been doing a similar thing. It gets even better when Lukas goes over to talk to Jesse about how Radar reminds him of how they were back during their start as heroes.
• If Jesse sends Petra to destroy the clock, they will hug her after she succeeds.

Episode 4: Below the Bedrock

• If Jesse stays silent after Xara recalls how Romeo killed Fred in front of her, she will notice Jesse's silence and tenderly remark "learn to have a better pokerface, sweetheart."
• If Jesse meets the masked assailant (Ivor) without a sword, they can be understanding when Ivor goes in to kill them, saying "it was nice to meet you, you strange masked man." This convinces Ivor that this Jesse is the real one, since "only the REAL Jesse would be so painfully earnest in such a dangerous situation."
• Jesse hugging Ivor during their reunion, after which Ivor pulls in Petra.
• Jesse and Petra's heart-to-heart in the Admin's cabin. After Petra breaks down and confides her fear of being separated from Jesse (her best friend and the person who has stayed with her more than anyone else) as she plans to leave Beacontown and go adventuring, Jesse can promise to either stay with her or always wait for her. A touched and thankful Petra pulls Jesse in for a hug.
  Jesse: I always knew you were a big ol' softy.
  Petra: You'll never be able to prove it.
• Xara's gratitude if Jesse gives her bed to her.
• Jack's reunion and group hug with Jesse and Petra in the Underneath (especially if Jesse refused Porkchop's deal, causing him to go missing).

Episode 5: Above and Beyond

• Olivia hugging Petra to comfort her after her distress over Champion City being destroyed/Xara's death.
• Lukas's relief that Romeo pretending to be Jesse wasn't the real Jesse. Even more so if at the end of the conversation you choose the option to say nothing but hug him, to which he immediately realizes that's the real Jesse.
  • Also the scene where Lukas hugs Jesse after depowering Romeo.
• Romeo thanking Jesse if he is saved and resolving to make amends for his damage in the Underneath.
• If she was allowed to join Jesse's group in Episode 3, a reformed Stella will thank Jesse for their kindness and resolve to change her ways.
  • In the same scenario she'll offer to let Jesse keep Lluna, noting that she's probably better in Jesse's care than her own. If Jesse refuses and insists that Lluna stay with Stella, Stella will promise to treat Lluna better than she had in the past.
• The New Order of the Stone's group hug as Petra prepares to depart and hit the road.
• Both endings:
  • If Jesse chooses to hit the road with Petra, they can resultantly name Radar the new leader of Beacontown, who vows to make Jesse proud. Jesse assures him that he already has before leaving to catch up to Petra, who is overjoyed to still have Jesse by her side. The two (along with Lluna if Jesse adopted her) then race off into the distance.
  Petra: I was kinda hoping you'd be interested in a race!
  Jesse: Ha! You're on!
  • If Jesse chooses to stay in Beacontown, Radar can still be promoted, one of the options simply being "friend". Radar's reaction to this one is enough to make him cry tears of joy.
  Jesse: Oh, well your internship is definitely over with. How about you just be my friend?
  Radar: That's my favorite job title... I've ever heard.
  Lukas: Holding back the waterworks okay there?
  Radar: No promises.
