History Trivia / MinecraftStoryMode

* CelebrityCameo: One of the stranger instances of this happening. Episode 6 of Story Mode features several [=YouTubers=], as well as original characters [=TorqueDawg=] and [=CassieRose=]. However, in an odd coincidence, there actually IS a [=YouTuber=], albeit a low-key ToonTown [=YouTuber=], with the username of "Cassie Rose", whose subscriber count has doubled since the episode came out. [[NamesTheSame And she is finding this situation to be REALLY weird]].

* TheDanza: Fred the admin shares his first name with his voice actor. According to [[WordofGod Eric Stirpe]], he was named "Fred" because it rhymed with "dead".

** A lot more was supposed to happen is Season 2, but got cut due to budget restrictions or other reasons. Em would've appeared if you chose to convince her to come back with you, [=DanTDM=] or Lizzie would've appeared depending on who survived "A Portal to Mystery", and Lukas probably wouldn't have been absent from Episodes 3 and 4 if not for his voice actor becoming a father at that time. Also, they were hoping to do a flashback sequence featuring Romeo, Fred and Xara, all in their Admin forms.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Episode 6 of season 1 has become this in regards to the Let's Players appearing in it. At the time, all of them were massively popular on [=YouTube=], with Captain Sparklez being the biggest out of the bunch. Over time, most of them have faded considerably in popularity, with [=DanTDM=] and LetsPlay/LDShadowLady being the only two who have been able to remain consistently popular in the years since the release of the game.
* ViralMarketing: The antagonist of "Access Denied", PAMA, has a Twitter account that promoted the episode before its trailer went up, and hinted at [[AssimilationPlot his overall goals]].

* CastingGag: Throughout Episode 6, Dan's hair changes randomly, with a couple characters commenting on it. This is a reference to Dan changing his hair color regularly IRL, and modifying his ''Minecraft'' avatar accordingly when that happens. [[spoiler: In addition, if he's the one who dies third(only possible if Stampy is accused of being the White Pumpkin), then his inventory will include what appears to be an ''actual'' Diamond Minecart.]]

** In Season 1 Episode 6, "A Portal to Mystery", Stacy apparently had a death scene planned, but was SparedByTheCut due to an insufficient budget.
