CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE

"each contestant had their unique set of skills" my skill is murdering villagers

I was expecting it to just be you tbh.

Puzzle three's answer should be thorns, and here is why. The Pumpkin pie and the dirt add up to the item id of 403 which is just an enchanted book and not specifically curse of vanishing. The thorns answer could also be taken from the dirt which is related to plants, and the missing pie slice in the pumpkin pie has the same shape as a thorn. The armor stand only having a chestplate represents how the enchantment table can only put thorns on chestplates. The lava below the armor stand is connected to thorns because the thorns hit sound effect and the lava pop sound effect are similar. Now for the signs. The first sentence on the signs is "I'm a reflection of anger and fear." this represents how thorns will do damage if you are attacked and being attack would most likely cause both anger and fear. The second sentence, "I can hurt those you hold dear." implies thorns because you could accidentaly deal damage to someone, without meaning to if they accidentaly hit you, and if you have a pet that attacks you, it could die, without you wanting it to. The third sentence is "somtimes I can be absurd, but sometimes I am simply a word." relates to thorns by the fact that thorns causes you to loose your armor durability at a faster rate which is completely "absurd" and the fact that the enchantment can still be triggered by ranged attacks, despite that making no sense. The "I am simply a word." part just references how the enchantment name is only one word long and you don't have to shorten it in any way.

"the smartest minecraft player" the deadly pig in heaven : "hello? can you hear me?"

For the third puzzle, thorns would also work. It reflects back the anger and fear of another player, and hurts those who try to hold you. It might be absurd to some (having thorns on armor) and is a simple word. It’s an enchantment that goes on any armor and hurts, which works for the armor stand and lava. It works for the dirt because thorns are on plants, which are grown in dirt. It also works for the pumpkin pie because some pumpkins’ vines have thorns. Ik ur probably not gonna see this, but there’s the other answer I thought of.

The problem with these puzzles is that there are multiple possible answers that you can think of. and you need the exact one that the creator is thinking with to solve it

For the first puzzle, I was...actually stumped for a bit. But the blocks under the platform and the corners were a nice hint. Netherite and Ancient Debris are found in the Nether. Glass and Obsidian are related to the End. Composter and Emerald Block are connected with villagers. Iron Block and Gold Block are parts of a beacon. Next part: "You could bring me home to your place, but I'm not sure there'd be enough space". Bring home the Beacon advancement/achievement. Beacons take up a lot of space. And you can bring it home. So, I'd say beacon. Edit: I never paid attention to the flowers...I used process of elimination. And, yes, all of the corner blocks can be made into ingots. I just did "what do the corner blocks and the platform blocks have a connection to?" That's how I got to what I did. Keep up the great work ^^

I love how boosfer devised an entire, very complex Minecraft puzzle map… but didn’t even know raw iron blocks spawned naturally xD

Technically the 4 blocks all had something unique : The gold one was the only one that you could fortune, the ancient debris was the only one found in the Nether, the raw iron block was the only one made out of raw materials and the only one added in 1.17 and the diamond block was the only 'non-ore' one

then there's me, who calculates the laws of Minecraft physics to determine a parkour jump and uses trigonometry to build my IRL house in Minecraft

I actually worked out the answer to the last room before i finished watching the video - each of the rooms has a different coloured floor so the number from each room is the amount of coal that you should put in the furnace because the furnaces were all behind coloured blocks that were the same colour as the floor of the rooms so that tells you how much coal to put in each furnace

During the initial test, there was a group of us who were analyzing everything, There were a few people who thought the word was beacon in the first 24 hours. We thought that was too easy and moved into a private voice channel. I don't think anyone from the channel wants to say anything so I'll make a list of a few things we did. 1. We reversed every part of the last 3 videos that Boosfer released in 20 second clips slowed down 5x. 2. We took the audio of a weird sound and made multiple images with it using popular programs. 3. We found a weird green screen with tons of dots of which we edited and tried to make out any codes that could've been used. Nothing showed up but the dots did match some letters of braille and SGA. We thought it was the key to the puzzle because when the group chat leader tweeted it to Boosfer, Boosfer retweeted it. 4. The dots looked like a multitude of different letters which only fueled our belief. 5. We (I) tried to figure out what the dots were by using a total of 21 different codes and ciphers, of which some had similarities but never came up as anything coherent. 6. We went to the link in the desc of the video to find a link to a channel that Jack has a relationship with, which seemed to be some type of ARG, but we dismissed it. 7. One of the things we did with the audio (I don't understand it myself but I watched the guy do it) Sounded like something from Halo, We checked and there is apparently a song called "The Trials" that sounded close to what the new audio was. That's just a few things we did, The group lasted for around two days at most before everyone left, we thought we were doing some Cicada 3301 mystery stuff

Boosfer: Im going to be fair to every player. Also Boosfer: Take a screenshot of these blocks.

For the last one you could use that comparators reading from furnaces only change the output signal strength at certain values (e.g. 1-13 items give a signal strength of 1; 14-27 give a signal strength 2 etc.) to brute force the answer

on the third challenge, my first thought was thorns. "I'm a reflection of anger and fear". someone is usually known as thorny or prickly if they are experiencing these emotions. also someone in minecraft may have it due to fear or anger. also enchanted chestplate. but the dirt and pumpkin pie was throwing me off, as well as the rest of the riddle

This isn't how you find the smartest player in Minecraft, this is just how to find the person with the same brain as the creator of the riddle

Puzzle 3 : I figured the answer was "Death". Think about it. Curse of Vanishing only works on a player's death, and causes the item itself to "die" (vanish) The image of death was represented by the armor stand on top of lava itself Now the signs. "I'm a reflection of anger and fear." Death can be inflicted in anger, often times actually But death can also induce anger, as in resent towards death itself or maybe putting the blame on something that doesn't really make sense but blaming it anyway out of grieving anger. And the fear of death is quite common, be it fear of our own death, death of our loved ones, or death in itself. "I can hurt those you hold dear." Literally, it can hurt them by killing them. That, or simply by killing someone THEY love and thus hurting their feelings. "Sometimes I can be absurd-" Death can be ridiculous, like surviving the entire world war but dying by slipping on ice or by a falling flowerpot. It's as ridiculous as that. Or when a player dies in hardcore world - think of Philza's S2 world, he died from a spider and a baby zombie after 4 years of never dying ever. Absurd, won't you agree? "-But sometimes I am simply a word." Death is a word. But I would more commonly point towards words that imply death. Like "goodbye" or "adieu" which can be said by a dying person or a person about to kill taunting their victim. It can also be said by someone to the tombstone of their loved ones as their final word to this person who died. Now, if you want a more technical meaning to death being just a word, I'll give you one good word... *Avadakedavra* !! Death can be but a simple spell, as illustrated by Harry Potter's infamous killing spell - which, unlike the equaly famous Wingardium Leviosa, is one single word which aims to inflict death. If you want to look further into clues that make half sense but are worth noting, the dirt block could refer to where we come from and where we return. Dust we are and to dust we return, born from the dirt and to the dirt we return. It can also reference a dead person getting burried 7 feet below, in dirt and below dirt. The pumpkin pie can give a halloween vibe as you don't usually use pumpkins on other occasions than halloween, and halloween is the time for horror movies like Child's Play, Saw, Scream, The Purge... All related to death. The pie itself can also refer to a grandma, an old person whose death is around the corner, representing the fact life will expire. And further in if you're that insane, a pie can be poisoned in order to kill. Hence, I think Death could have been an equally good answer as Curse, if not better to be honest now that I explained everything. Hope you like this little explanation :) you asked for a matching answer and here I gave one, hope you're satisfied!

5:37 “i am really proud of my community” that one guy jumping randomly in the corner

GGS BARDI! Was rooting for u

"this was all the useful information to the puzzle" literally 2 minutes later: _the message of the day also tells you to go outside of the playable space to get the hint you need to answer the question_

Is there going to be another challenge that we can participate in? After all, it said “Trial #1” on the original video. There has to be more right? (Also for the record I was so close to figuring it out on the first puzzle)

For puzzle 3 I thought of vengeance or revenge. Reflection of the anger and fear of being wronged or betrayed. Revenge often ends up hurting the ones you love in one way or another, by either collateral damage, or further retaliation. The ways people take revenge can get quite out there, and words themselves can deal significant damage. As for the hints a story came to mind. Two players on a survival world, one thought it be funny to trick their friend into falling into lava with a dirt block. The victim dies a loses their enchanted armor that they worked really hard for. As "revenge," the victim gives the other player a poisoned pie. (I don't think you can poison pumpkin pie, but it fits the story)

Bro I literally just read the puzzle sign in your video and I was like its beacon cause we can bring it home but takes a lot of space and there were also those mineral blocks LOL🤣

Actually I’m the smartest Minecraft player. I’ve built a dirt house. That is all the proof you need

The third riddle could have been thorns but I do find see the lava, so my second guess was fire protection, btw thorns would also apply to guardians having it naturally, and "guard" could fit to be a reflection of anger and fear, but just thorns or guardian would fit very well. And the first one was way too overcomplicated, my guess was village, you can't fit it in it house and it matches with the emerald block and composer in the corner and middle of the room

This video is awsome! It's been a long time since i was excited about a minecraft video. Thank you for your work @Boofer.

Figured out the last and the “hardest” puzzle but didn’t figure out the other ones 😂

I actually thought the answer to trial 3 was "Thorns", as an Enchantment that triggers when your hurt, and can harm those you hold dear is the thorns enchantment. Additionally, thorns is somewhat nonsensical, as unlike actual thorns, ie berry bushes and cacti, it damages you when you hit the player, instead of just being close to it

So... Am I the only one who would be interested in a series where these 4 contestants create escape rooms for each other, or...?

I swear the first rhing i thought for the first puzzle was beacon cuz it said bring me home amd not enought space i immediately thought of beacon and the blocks of iron,emeral,netherite and obsidian is required for the beacon glass too

Liking the new content, loved manhunts but something different in-between is excellent

For trial #3, I thought the answer was "thorns". This is because when on armour, the armour reflects. Angry people will punch you and get hurt, instilling fear in them. If a friend jokingly punches/high fives you when you have thorns, it hurts them. In certain situations thorns can easily kill whoever's trying to kill you, without actually attacking them, which is absurd. And "thorn" is a word that can describe the enchantment, something on a bush, or it can be used metaphorically, as in: "you are a thorn in my side." So "thorn" is the only other answer I could think of for Trial #3. Great video though! I love the content and it always brightens my day.

Good puzzles are those which don't just suddenly lead to you applying a random fact about a clue in the puzzle... The information is implied which gives you a path to the right answer... For example the buttons on the wall and chains were indeed morse code, but there was no where in the room that hinted towards using morse code in the first place.

For the third puzzle i thinked at start about spine because it can be for anger to hurt people and fear to help you in battle but then the last sign didnt worked

On the third puzzle, I was thinking thorns because lava = damage, enchanted armor can have thorns, it can hurt those you hold dear, it can be useless like dirt, but the pumpkin pie was making my struggle along with the rest on the signs. Curse makes since tho, congrats coming up with all of these puzzles.

You could make this into a whole series! Hear me out... Do multiple of these videos. Don't let the first place winner(s) of the previous videos compete in the new ones. Then, after x amount of videos. you have all the winners of the previous videos compete against the other winners to prove that they are the winner of winners.

s+1 made me think of the d'hondt method, a divisor method for allocating seats in a party-list proportional representation, where the divisor is S (seats already won by the party) plus 1

My English teacher be like 7:20

For the first answer, I would choose “beacon” Second answer, I’d probably have chosen “bow” because it can be used as fuel in an oven, and you can get the string from the cobweb. Alot of words started with the letter ‘C’, just like cobweb. Third answer: thorns

I'm guessing before the answer is revealed for the final part: (at 20:00 mark) Yellow - 55 (Hardness) Pink - 57 (Diamond block id) Blue - Y coordinates Lime - How many blocks needed to get up

11:26 I couldn't come up with ANYTHING but "thorns"😭 It just fits too perfect

My reflection for the first puzzle was really just, bring me home advancement, glass + obsidian make beacon and the ores works for a beacon so beacon is the answer lmao

“You could bring me home to your own place, but I’m not sure there’d be enough space. What am I? Me: boosfers mom

I'm very happy we got a big thick and bold arrow to tell us who this genius is

For the 5x5 bedrock room puzzle, it could be love. It's a reflection of anger. Can hurt the people you love because you love them too much, can be absurd, sometimes it is just a word.

When that video just have started I immediately thought of the achievement of "bring home the beacon"

@11:30 I thought it was the enchantment "thorns" because it's fierce and can hurt you.

For puzzle No. 3, I thought thorns since it is an enchantment that is a reflection of an attackers anger and fear back onto him, and the enchant may be seen as absurd since killing becomes so much harder. I made sense of the lava since thorns activates on damage, which lava is a source of.

The editing in the video was IMMACULATE

For puzzle 3 I was thinking "Irrational". Pi is an irrational number, Putting an armor stand with enchanted armor over lava is irrational behavior, and it fits the text description.

11:24 i thought the answer was "Thorns" as it: can hurt people, is an enchantment and only activates when you take damage (which relates to the lava).

Me: Instantly equips the Steve skin so I can be the smartest player.

I think a good answer for number three is "thorns" it is a reflection like the riddle says, it is an enchantment like the item ids, and if you punch an armor stand with thorns armor you will take damage.

my tiny brain thinking none of the room have answers

These puzzles are absolutely ridiculous and inconceivably random and difficult to solve as intended!

I feel like coolprodavid should get something special for being the only one to get the hard one.

By far the best Minecraft series

"average minecraft player" and "java edition" cannot be in the same sentence...

Intro: “…could you actually be the smartest Minecraft player?…” Me who doesn’t even have a account: “no, obviously not. K bye”

Some great content! Also very pleased that my two braincells pingponging around in my mind managed to accidentally guess the correct answer to the first puzzle room; Made me feel a little less empty headed than I normally am!

The pink question room has multiple correct answers: 1st - ancient debris is the only block that isn't in the overworld so it matches demands, and the second is diamond block, as it is the only block that can't be smelted out of the selected 4, standing out enough to be correct. Same thing with the enchantment question in the previous stage - it can logically be at least 3 things: curse, thorns or taxes.

When I saw the pink room i went "Ok its the sign, obviously"

At 22:00 the block that stood out for me is the ancient debris because everything else is only minable in the overworld. Ancient debris can only be found in the nether

The problem with open puzzles like this is that there are almost always multiple valid answers.

The fact that half of the video is 3 puzzles and the other is only 1 puzzle lol

The irreversible mistake in the last puzzle was not picturing before breaking

16:05 im not allowed to give out hints, 16:07, hey want a hint?

The intro and the music choices ARE SO GOOD !!! I rarely say something about the editing, but this is stellar.

Says you when I don't know how redstone works

A crowd would be my awnser because of the huge amount of players.

The enchantment on chest plate could also be fire protection so the answer could have been fire because fire makes people angry and some people also fear it because they fear loosing their items when they die in a fire. Some people also find it absurd because they enchant their armor with fire protection instead of protection.

This video is so well-made and well-thought, props to you boosfer!

In the finale I feel like the contestants should have mined the sand and wood in the yellow room they could make a crafting table lel

At the final puzzle they never thought about breaking the sign in the pink room

Steve is like top tier mastermind

honestly whoever made the map is the smartest minecraft player

when i heard the first riddle i just instantly thought of a beacon

Fire: lava, fire protection, hurt, word being fire, anger being rage and absurd being it having many different meanings

the third puzzle made me think "thorns" immediately bc it's one word, and fits the enchanted armor and can hurt allied players if they don't realize you have it or if they accidentally hit you

i am guessing (before watching the rest of the video) that the solution to puzzle 3 is the thorns enchantment, since on the sign it says i am a reflection of anger and fear and when you hit someone when they are wearing this enchantment, you get damaged. the enchanted chestplate was also a hint for this. the pie and the dirt is kinda throwing me off but I'm still locking in this answer.

boosfer not knowing that raw iron and raw gold spawns underground 💀

Bro I was facepalming the entire last puzzle

But how were we supposed to see the sign outside the box?

this makes some very entertaining content. you should host more of these from time to time

The thumbnail: Pi = sqrt(3) Me: *pain intensifies*

In the pink room of the last puzzle it is either the gold ore or the raw iron block since rhe gold ore is the only one that doesn't give you a block when mined or the raw iron since it's the only one that is not involved in the process of making netherite gear

Very well deserved victory! Her content was very interesting the whole time.

The question really is: was there actually cod in the furnace?

This is so random I half expected it to be frozen on the inside

On the first box riddle i just randomly guessed Beacon becasue of its size, and i was shoked to find out it was the answear.

Boosfer: I am looking for the smartest player in Minecraft. Also Boosfer: (pi) 3.14 = 1.73 (sqrt3)

In the first puzzle I actually got it instantly just by watching the bring me home as the achievement

"an average player. yes, you" wow thanks man

For the third puzzle I would say a convicts final words

Congrats Bardi! Also very well made Boosfer, ur escape rooms and puzzles appear very challenging.

I still think the whole morse code puzzel was kinda unfair, expecially if the contestents did not know that they could use google. But overall very well made.

honestly i think suffering would be another alternative for puzzle 3

Second one ,I was immediately hit with the word cod in my brain and it was literally the right answer

for the third puzzle, soul sand would almost work. It is an embodiment of fear and can hold the ones you hold near. it's just 2 words. i guess you could also just say the nether if you wanted a single word
