Special mines are mines that spawn every fifth mine, exclusive to 25w14craftmine. Leaving any special mine through an exit portal will grant the A Challenger Approaches advancement.

Trivia

  • The Kuiper World is a reference to the Kuiper Belt, a region of the outer Solar System consisting mainly of comets and other icy objects.
  • Spooky Scary Skeletons and its flavor text are references to the memetic 1996 Halloween novelty song of the same name by Andrew Gold.

Notes

  1. ↑ After locating the stage, enter backstage through the door on the right. Use a goat horn from the chest nearest the door to signal the show beginning. Then, take a 'disc' (stylized as a movie clapper) from a second chest near a jukebox and play it. Activate the 'light show' by stepping on and off the pressure plate beside a piston. When the prompt at the bottom of the screen indicates, take the mob heads from the first chest and wear one onto the stage. Switch between heads until the Warden reacts. Finally, return backstage, go up the stairs, and use the redstone in the chest to connect the lever to all three dispensers. Right click the lever repeatedly to announce the end of the show with fireworks.
  2. ↑ The exit portal fails to spawn after completing the show. Leaving the area and returning after it unloads will spawn an exit on the stage, which is similar behavior to other special mines that require the player to kill certain enemies. This may suggest that completing the show is not the correct solution to the world, despite the provided instructions.
  3. ↑ Unknown if misspelled intentionally.
