Seaweed becomes surprisingly valuable when everyone needs it before a deadline. In Sword4000's new Minecraft Purge, he and teammate Badabo collect enough kelp to complete a server-wide quest, then sell their surplus to players arriving late. Gold and diamonds change hands at their improvised trading post.
It's an enterprising interlude in "200 Players Simulate THE PURGE in Minecraft!", which has drawn roughly 433,000 views since yesterday. The premise gives players a week to gather resources under rules against killing, stealing and destroying other people's builds. Then those protections disappear.
Even the preparation period isn't entirely peaceful. Designated Purge Zones suspend the rules early, making an expedition to a fleet of loot-filled ships a considerably riskier shopping trip. And before Sword4000 even finds his teammate, SavageHawk137 triggers a desert temple's TNT trap and is eliminated.
Badabo joins Sword4000 after an encounter on the water. Together they raid the ships, harvest the seabed and venture into a dungeon stacked with treasure and enchantment books. Having useful equipment doesn't mean having everything they need: "We're so rich in assets, but just no diamonds to put it all on," Sword4000 says.
The format returns to familiar territory for the creator, whose earlier Purge events sit among his most-watched uploads. This time, the early encounters include the well-equipped duo InProper and CHIEFXD. Sword4000 and Badabo trade with them and get away alive, a useful outcome when the whole server is preparing to stop playing nicely.
