Summary

Yellow is exploring the item bar of the Creative Mode, until he discovers some secret items, including the Command Block. He places one of them and discover an instruction manual inside it, so he starts testing some commands. He then decides to troll Red with cakes until he finds out. They the decide to use the Commands Blocks to fake a magic show and impress their friends. However a lighting strikes the blocks, making them going crazy, and activating random commands. The Stickmen try to destroy the blocks, but another lighting strikes them and they start affecting the whole desktop, until TSC restarts the PC, restoring everything. They then burn down the Command Block, never to use it again.

Tropes

  • Chekhov's Gun: AVA IV and vs. YouTube showed that refreshing a web page undoes any damage that the stick figures might have done to it. While the desktop is being corrupted by the glitching command block, Second Coming sees the Start button floating by and applies the same logic to the PC by clicking Restart. Sure enough, the desktop comes back up with all five stick figures right as rain.
  • Lightning Can Do Anything: Turns Command Blocks into glitchy messes that cause incredibly unpredictable effects. A second lightning strike causes them to corrupt the entire desktop.
  • Mundane Utility: Red's magician act is based entirely on the presence of command blocks behind-the-scenes.
  • Reset Button: Restarting the computer deletes everything caused by the command blocks in the desktop and leaves the five stick figures completely unscathed as if nothing happened. Yellow promptly makes sure the same thing doesn't happen again by burning his command block stash.
  • Troll: What does Yellow do when he learns about command blocks? He trolls Red with an unobtainable cake. If you pay attention to the code that was onscreen right after a dispenser gave Red a bunch of cakes, Yellow was about to turn the cakes in his inventory into rotten flesh before Red caught on.
  • We Are Not Going Through That Again: Once the PC is restarted, the first thing Yellow does is throw the Command Block into a fire.
