History Heartwarming / PBGHardcore

* After PBG had a close call in ''Minecraft #7'' and freaked out, his real-world dog Azura charged into the office to make sure he was alright.

--->:'''Jared:''' Do it, my friends! [[ObiWanMoment I believe in you!]]\\

--->[=ProJared22=]]] was slain by Zombie

* Also from ''Minecraft #5'', Episode 20 [[note]]"BAD OMEN!!"[[/note]], Jeff's absolutely heart-wrenchingly BigNo when [[spoiler: [=PBG=] instantly dies from a creeper explosion]] was uncomfortably too realistic. It's as if he really did lose someone he sincerely cared for, and it makes it all the more [[TearJerker saddening]].
* The final episode of ''Minecraft #5'' has Jeff finding and taming a pack of wolves, calling them his new friends and naming them all Billy. [[spoiler:It turns heartbreaking when they all start to die off]].
* Dean and Lucahjin get along extremely well in ''Terraria #3'', so much so that they form their own team titled: Team New Kids. The attachment even came in when Dean was in charge to pick parties. He IMMEDIATELY picked Lucah without any hesitation, above all other members.

* In ''Terraria #3'', Luke giving a sincere [[spoiler: eulogy for Jeff. Since he believed that he was the cause of his death, his tender words mixed with light humor was only appropriate.]]
* PBG's surprisingly sincere attitude towards the allegedly "cursed amethyst hook" that [[spoiler:Jeff got himself killed with]], going as far as to try and trade his own hook to [=McJones=] and take the cursed hook for himself, with the justification that if anyone were to fall to its "curse", no one would be more disposable than himself, in a strangely self-aware, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness out of character]] tone. It goes to show just how much PBG understands his and [=McJones=]'s own values to the group and the importance that the latter has carried throughout the series.

** Becomes [[spoiler:HarsherInHindsight later on, when he actually gets his wish. [[IdiotBall In a very ridiculous and avoidable way, granted,]] but nevertheless.]]
* A bit of an overlooked example (due to many people speaking at once), near the end episode 15 of Terraria #3, after [[spoiler: defeating the Brain of Cthulhu]], PBG needs to take a moment to calm down due to his anxiety spiking. He explains that the tension of Hardcore bosses sets his anxiety off, but as soon as he says he needs to take a moment? Luke is right there with him, calmly telling him to just chill out and breathe.

* Dean typically watching out for everyone, alerting them when they are low on health in ''Terraria #3''. Some instances include when Lucah was being squished by slush and the entire adventure in the dungeon. [[spoiler: Though it becomes absolutely heartbreaking because the dungeon is where Dean dies, warning people about taking damage when he didn't notice his own health.]]
* After [[spoiler:Dean dies to spikes, Luke and Reese discuss how Dean was Lucah's new Terraria friend, only to then comment that he wasn't really new. Luke responds with saying that it doesn't matter at all. The end of Team New Kids is easily [[TearJerker one of the saddest moments in the season]], and is certainly one of the most touching]].
* In ''Terraria #3'', Luke honoring [[spoiler:Jeff and Dean's death]] by putting the clock that [[spoiler:Jeff]] made for him back in episode 10, and using [[spoiler:Dean's Crimson Rod]] to make a rain cloud above their [[spoiler:graves]].
* Also in episode 23, Lucah saying to Luke "Follow your dreams" after she [[spoiler: saves him from drowning]].
** In general, the fact that Lucah calls everyone "friend" can be seen as very heartwarming.
* In the finale, Luke dubbing Lucah the "Yo-Yo Queen". She says that she doesn't want a name associated with Yo-Yos as [[spoiler:all the Yo-Yo bros but Luke are dead. Luke then points out that he is alive,]] and Lucah simply says "Well, you're like, the best." D'awwwww.

* In Episode 9 of ''[=MineZ=] #2'', [[AscendedFanboy [=ProtonToad=]]] cheers on [=McJones=] from afar after he [[spoiler:falls into a chasm and has to claw his way back out.]]
** The final meal of cookies (and an apple) before the group enters the Floating Isles and [[spoiler: everyone ends up dead]]. Doubles as TearJerker.
* ''Minecraft #6'' has the gang finding a Totem of Resurrection, which they can use to bring back one player that died. [[spoiler:They eventually choose guest star Dodger, who died just as they brought it back]].

* The finale of ''Minecraft #6'' has [[spoiler:Jared]] taking the brunt of the Wither's attacks and dying ''just'' before it does, with the team crediting him for the victory and noting if it had targeted everyone they wouldn't have made it.
** [[spoiler:Jared's]] final words skirt the line between this, TearJerker and DyingMomentOfAwesome:
--->[[spoiler:'''Jared''']]: Do it, my friends! [[ObiWanMoment I believe in you!]]
--->[[spoiler:[=ProJared22=]]] was slain by Zombie

* The union of the group in episode 9 of ''Starbound HC'' is joyous, as this is the first time where Team 1 and Team J are all in one chat, complete with music, Jeff flailing around his spear, and sword dancing. Doubly so since this was COMPLETELY coincidental, and [[spoiler: ''no one'' has died as of that point.]]

--> '''Luke:''' Brother... is that you? Brother... Hello. It's me! It's Tweet! All this time, you were here. I can't belie- ''[the NPC starts walking away]'' Don't you run. I've been looking for you my whole life, brother! Come back. Please, come back. How is mom? How is dad? ''*starts [[{{Corpsing}} sob-laughing]]*'' I can't believe it...! It's finally you!

* In ''Starbound HC'', Lucah ends up being the self-proclaimed mother of the group, since she played the game far more than Terraria. Her interactions with Group 1 is absolutely heartwarming, considering she at some point called the other group members her children.

* "Episode 25" of ''Terraria #3'', a post-session podcast where the editor, Todd, and everyone else from the season comes together to discuss their thoughts and feelings on the experience, and Hardcore in general. It's easy to detect the happiness and sincerity in their voices as they reminisce about the whole thing.

* In the finale, Luke dubbing Lucah the "Yo-Yo Queen". She says that she didn't want a name associated with Yo-Yos as [[spoiler:all the Yo-Yo bros but Luke are dead. Luke then points out that he is alive,]] Lucah simply says "Well, your like the best" D'awwwww.

She says that she didn't want a name associated with yo-yos, [[spoiler:given how Team Blood fared with the "Yo-Yo Bros" theme, with everyone but Luke being dead.]] When Luke points out that [[spoiler:he's still alive]], Lucah justifies it by saying, "Well, you're like, the best." D'awwwww.
