The fourth episode of the 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft series. Yes, you read that right. For comedic reasons, Jake Eyes skipped Part Four and went straight onto Part 5. Part Four was released afterwards.

Ready, Sego!
- Animal Assassin: Death 30, titled: "Bats... somehow."
- Bowdlerise: "Die" in the title is replaced with "Expire" in order to avoid the video being restricted/demonetized. This is parodied in the intro, as seen at the top of the page.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: Redstone Ned reacts to one of the comments requesting for a death via his airship, which he states he doesn't have one. Well, not yet.
- Cheaters Never Prosper: Death 25 has Jerkwad attempting to perform a glitch, only to get banned from the server for it. It's also pointed out that the glitch he was trying to perform doesn't work anymore.
- Chest Monster: Death 24 happens when someone mistakes a Shulker for a Shulker Box.
- Exact Words: In the trailer, when everyone is chanting for Part 4, jayRiott comes out and announces that he's not making Part 4, leading one to think he's cancelling the series. Nope, he's just skipping to Part 5.
- Failed a Spot Check: According to Death 17, Stu and Norman forgot to check the customer reviews for a ferry. If they did, they would have avoided dying via an Inevitable Waterfall.
- Gone Horribly Right: A Sweeping Edge 255 sword is ridiculously powerful, so much so that it kills everyone and everything in every dimension in Minecraft, as Breadstick finds out in Death 47.
- Quicksand Sucks: Subverted: Death 15 does a Bait-and-Switch and the victim is actually killed by a flying block of sand. Played straight in Death 36, "Sand that you sink through quickly".
- Rasputinian Death: Death 48 has so many deadly things coming at the victim that the death title cards have no clue what actually killed them.
- Self-Deprecation: Death 9 makes fun of Part 2's original very red and hard-on-the-eyes thumbnail, calling it "the Demon Thumbnail".
- Shout-Out:
- Death 13 has Brandon die trying to beat "Through the Fire and Flames".
- In Death 27, Nickromancer builds a oddly-shaped Nether Portal, which teleports him into a forest in Skyrim, where he is killed by a dragon.
- Death 40 is "Lowering the Draw Distance", which leads to the victim getting killed by Pyramid Head.
- Death 45 shows ThatGuyWithTheElytra asking Linkin Park what fireworks he needs to use. He dies after they say that "in the End, it doesn't even matter".
- Sneeze of Doom: Death 39 shows a man sneezing after sniffing some flowers, causing him to explode.
- Stealth Pun: Death 37, "Witnessing a Shooting Star", while the scenario itself is a fairly obvious pun (a star that shoots), there's actually a way less noticeable one. The second star, tells the first star to "bury 'em" upon realizing Norman was watching them. Barium is a type of star as well as an element.
- Take That!:
- Death 5 is one to Walmart.
- Death 21 is to LA traffic, in which a driver withers away due to being stuck in a Big Honking Traffic Jam.
- Toilet Humor: Subverted. One scene involves RedstoneNed almost getting tricked into saying "there is no P in Minecraft," setting up a situation where he will be killed by deadly urine, but he performs a Last-Second Word Swap to instead say "my soup," avoiding the situation altogether, much to SnakeTheJaik's dismay.
- Too Dumb to Live: Stu, as usual.
- In Death 22, he mistakes a skeleton horse for a zebra. When it summons more skeleton horse jockeys, he thinks it has lightning powers.
- In Death 35, Stu attempts to use a boat to sail across an ocean of lava. The boat burns up before he could even board it, causing him to fall into the lava.
- In Death 50, after the failure of the professional space shuttle launch, Stu tries making his own... out of dirt and TNT. No points for guessing what happens.
- Waiting Skeleton: Death 21 has driver in a traffic jam for so long that he turns into a skeleton.
