* Why is Ivor's color on the amulet, Navy Blue, located in the center of it? Aside from the fact that it would spoil him being a former member of the Order of the Stone, It would make more sense for White, which represents Soren, the Order's leader and the creator of the amulet, to be in the middle. It would also make more sense to shape the amulet like a 5-pointed star instead.

** She just happens to be [[TheGift really good at it]]. Could also a "[[ContrivedCoincidence the plot demands it]]" type scenario, since this allows the New Order to realize only Cassie had no X on her painting.

* How did the White Pumpkin make the paintings of the main cast? Cassie had no way of knowing who would drop into that dimension until they did, and assuming Cassie somehow became instantly aware of Jesse's gang's appearances the moment they entered the dimension, that would give Cassie only around 20ish minutes to paint large detailed portraits of 4 different people.

** Eric Stirpe (lead writer of MCSM) stated that [[https://stirpicus.tumblr.com/post/166981244876/how-did-the-people-of-sky-city-get-trapped-on Sky City was originally dozens of mini islands where each person fended for themselves. Isa convinced everyone to connect their islands and work together.]]

** Also EarlyInstallmentWeirdness. The crew hadn't yet decided if deaths in MCSM would resemble real-life deaths or Minecraft deaths.

* Petra got the Ocelots a nether star to make a beacon in episode 1. The nether star is only dropped by the wither, which can only be manually summoned and doesn't spawn naturally. Since Petra got a nether star, the assumption is that she summoned and killed a wither. Yet when the group finds the soul sand and two wither skeleton skulls in the basement, Lukas is the one who realises Ivor is making a wither, not Petra.

** It's strongly implied that they didn't just defeat the dragon with it; everything they did prior to that was only accomplished with buffs provided by that same command block and that they're just average people with average abilities without it; rendering most, if not all, of their accomplishments moot. Also, what do you mean "saved everyone"? The Ender Dragon is the known Final Boss per Minecraft rules but it's not like it was ravaging the overworld.

** RuleOfDrama.

** It might be supposed to act as a compass and then dim down when the person has been found; seeing as the Order apparently made it themselves, they may have done that so the amulet wouldn't keep shining if they were all together. That, or him [[spoiler:having wither sickness]] is messing with it somehow.

* Why isn't Lukas made a member of the new [[spoiler: Order Of The Stone]]? He played a much larger role in the story than Petra, yet she got in anyway.
** Considering it's possible to give him [[spoiler: awesome armor]], it's possible he IS a [[spoiler: member]], he just decided to not be on stage because he's not part of the original circle of friends.

* [[spoiler:Why didn't Cassie just explain her situation and ask the Youtubers for the enchanted flint and steel so she can go home, instead of going to the ridiculous lengths she did to try and acquire it? They were certainly friendly enough with her, having known her for some time, and probably would have given it to her had she just been honest.]]
** [[spoiler:It's been implied that she's been in that dimension for quite some time, not to mention that calling her a bit unhinged would be a massive understatement.]]

* In Season 1 Episode 3, [[spoiler: Magnus[=/=]Elleguard (whoever's armor you chose to wear) will die, but won't poof into their inventory. Later in the same season, Reuben dies and poofs into a porkchop. At first, once we got a Multiverse plot with the Adventure Pass(one episode featured people dying for good and turning into their inventory, and another featured the latter but the people respawned), I figured it was just a rule of Jesse's world that people's bodies remain behind when they died. But then in Season 2, even if the Sunshine Institute(where the Warden dies and poofs into his Flint and Steel) isn't in "Jesse's" Nether, if certain choices are made we can see Xara die in Beacontown and she poofs into her inventory as well. So why didn't Magnus's[=/=]Elleguard's death play by the rules?]]

* Why is the series so inconsistent with whether or not mining through a wall is a valid option? In Season 1, the characters punch through a stone floor no sweat, but don't think to punch through a bookcase wall, a wool wall, and a stone brick wall. In Season 2, they craft a pickaxe to mine through a wall as a shortcut ''after being told the area infected them with Mining Fatigue,'' and later on hear of one NPC managing to headbutt a block out of the wall no sweat despite that area also having Mining Fatigue(as demonstrated by another NPC punching a block without progress). Season 2 also seems to have a recurring issue as to whether or not the best solution to reaching a high place is to pillar-hop[[note]]jumping repeatedly while stacking blocks below you[[/note]]. I could forgive them ignoring obvious solutions like that if they were at least consistent about it, but they're not.

** Once they saw this was bigger than just Ivor suckering Petra out of a treasure, they may have been too surprised to think of grabbing it, and/or too worried of the consequences if they swiped the skull back from this suddenly sinister-seeming person rather than the petty swindler they thought he was.
