Core Destruction x Minecraft - Multiply or Release 

For those not familiar with Minecraft, here are some explanations. - Each weapon is suitable for destroying the following types of blocks. shovel -> dirt blocks, sand blocks axe -> wood blocks pickaxe -> stone blocks, obsidian blocks - TNT deals equal damage to any block. (I don't know if this is the case in actual Minecraft though.) - Glass blocks are equally damaged by all weapons.

Red: "Oh wow, I have 3 different materials to build a harder to break layer of defense as well as glass to provide consistent protection against all 3 damages, I should diversify to build a hard to break defense." Blue: "You cannot even begin to comprehend the ungodly amounts of sand I have at my disposal."

What's really cool is that it's not just a Minecraft coat of paint, but that the mechanics are inspired by the game as well.

love how in the middle of the match red made an actually functional defense while blue just went " SAND CASTLE :D"

This is the crossover we needed, but didn't know we wanted. Keep up the great work Mikan, this was PREMIUM!

It finally happened, Mikan did a Minecraft crossover lmao. The effort to actually put in block physics is awesome!

I honestly LOVE the attention to detail, like how certain tools are good against the right blocks, the block breaking sounds, how the cores being damaged sound like the iron golem hurt sounds, and the TNT explosion hitting cores through blocks, the health bar for the cores, bedroxk being the unbreakable walls, and so much other stuff. It really shows that you care so much about your marble races and battles and didn't just do the crossover without little to no prior knowledge like some others would, but instead you did your research or heck just play minecraft in your spare time and use the knowledge to create an amazing core destruction. This is why we love you and your creations, MIKAN. Thank you so much for creating these amazing videos.

I like how red actually builds a proper defence made out of a bunch of blocks while blue is just placing entire deserts of sand

Holy moly. We need a sequel! A rematch in the Nether?

MIKAN is on a whole nother level in 2023. You have such amazing ideas and execute them so well.

The sound effects were a little overwhelming, but there were a number of mechanics that would be very interesting to see transferred in common Core Destruction videos: Sand - Defensive Blocks that are effected by gravity would be a nice callback to the "Castle Destruction" era of MIKAN's channel. Weapon Types - Having Defenses that are vulnerable to one of the opponent's weapons, but resistant to all others, is a unique concept and definitely entertaining. TNT - Explosive weapons that have a timed delay instead of detonating on impact could lead to climactic "trick shots" by shooting a bomb deep into enemy territory.

That was closer than I thought. Blue was getting destroyed, then made a comeback. If it wasn't for Red's 384 Pickaxes at the end, Blue might have won.

The Physics were executed so well (except for 999 stacks ofc, maybe a shulker box would be better?), as there are a lot of marble races/core destructions only reskinned the projects and called it Minecraft. As a Minecraft player, this really puts me to tears.

That was most impressive. I think a sequel to this would absolutely be interesting to see.

Best video you've done so far. The effort you've put into this speaks for itself

You already know the 4 key moments in any multiply and pelease that includes red… 1: Red losing and about to die. 2: Red gets mad. 3: Red spams 4096s. 4: Red wins.

Red : lets build out of multiple different materials to prevent Cheese Blue: S A N D

0:00 Start 0:09 First weapon is fired by Red 0:11 First block is placed by Red 1:06 DIRT. 1:16 Dirt pile gets destroyed 1:32 You can see Red has 84 sand built up 1:41 Sandbridge lmao 1:57 Another 84 sand by red, like what 2:19 Minor dirt pile by blue 2:38 SAND. 2:56 Most of the sand is already dealt with 3:25 Red can be seen building up 488 logs, while Blue can be seen harvesting more sand 3:37 A MASSIVE log pile is formed on Red, and also a glass pile on Blue 3:45 Blue tries chopping down the defense 3:51 Blue ends up destroying most enemy logs 3:54 Sky islands :) 4:01 Log pile by Blue 4:03 Foreshadowing of what is to come 4:23 Blue has built up 656 sand! 4:32 Blue has already reached 999 sand, the highest possible number of blocks. Meanwhile Red is building up some quality defences 4:41 A pickaxe from Red has left Blue's obsidian defence close to being broken. 4:49 *SAND. SAND. SAND.* 5:02 Blue has obtained an ungodly amount of shovels and uses that to break through logs. 5:08 Red rebuilds with stone 5:12 More shovels 5:14 The 999 sand from earlier is only around halfway through, and Blue's place is already FILLED with sand. 5:17 Axes are NOT good weapons against sand. 5:25 GLASS. 5:38 Red finally uses some shovels to break the sand. But there's even more. 5:45 Thats a ton of glass. 5:50 *MORE SAND. MORE. MORE!* 5:58 Red finally activates their brain and stockpiles more than a hundred shovels to finish off the sand. 6:00 Oh yeah, TNT is unlocked now. It can break through obsidian but eh, its fine. 6:05 The shovels begin the attack. 6:12 And it was effective as hell 6:15 The sand is running out. Will blue be forced to use other materials? 6:18 Buried TNT is actually very effective. 6:30 Blue probably smelted some sand for some glass, but that doesnt hit as hard as tons of sand 6:52 Blue's defense is breached by 1 block. It will certainly grow bigger over time. 6:58 The wave of shovels has left Blue more exposed. The first instance of damage happens here. 7:02 With 5 hearts lost, Blue is eager to strike back. 7:13 The destruction of Red's defense starts here. 7:25 While Red is distracted, Blue starts building up its defenses again. Though, its not in a very good spot... 7:30 STON- actually never mind, it wasnt that big. 7:34 Thats a ton of pickaxes. But will it break through the stone barrier? 7:41 That was apparently not enough. So they specialize defense and build a glass barrier. 7:58 The second wave of pickaxes has begun leaving the base. 8:06 While the pickaxes were busy in not destroying Blue, Blue has somehow gotten 6 tools in a row to attack Red. Of course, it doesnt really do that much. 8:09 A wave of shovels are attacking. 8:12 Blue is seen counterattacking with their owwn shovels. Whose defense will hold up longer? 8:21 Red's aim was poor, but Blue had better aim. Red had a big defense though, so it really didnt do THAT much. 8:27 Oh dear. A LOT of TNT is headed towards Red. 8:35 Red was able to hold on by building obsidian near its main obsidian wall. Red then retaliates by launching a wave of pickaxes towards Blue. 8:40 Blue is damaged some more. 8:42 That was a sneaky one, Red. 8:54 After red finished building their dirt pile, red unleashes a MASSIVE wave of pickaxes 9:00 The cracks in Blue's main body can be seen more clearly. Blue, wanting to retaliate, releases TNT in hopes of breaking the obsidian wall. 9:05 Red has some more attacks up their sleeve. Blue just barely havgs on as they build another obsidian wall. 9:16 Blue retaliates by attacking with shovels. 9:20 More TNT is launched by Red. Will this be the end? 9:27 In the midst of the chaos, Red was damaged by TNT through its wall. Moreover, its wall was close to being broken. Can this be a comeback from Blue? 9:30 Blue capitalizes on Red's breached wall and attacks via axes. Red sustains some damage. 9:37 As a sort of overreaction, Red unleashes a ton of TNT towards Blue. 9:40 Blue then retaliates by attacking with a ton of shovels and does damage to Red. It is effective, and has lowered Red's health more. 9:45 Blue isn't letting up, but neither is Red. A wave of axes is fired by Red. 9:54 As Blue's health drops down even more, a final comeback emerges in the form of a wave of pickaxes. Whether it will work or not will depend on luck. 10:05 Unfortunately, the attack was not good enough. As Blue panic builds a glass shelter, Red will have to break through. 10:10 Red builds a dirt shelter and prepares to attack. 10:21 Red copies Blue's strategy and builds a big, but rather small sand defense. 10:27 Red unleashes a storm of pickaxes, dealing the final blow. 10:30 Red ultimately wins. 10:32 As the victory sound is played, Red now has free reign of what to do with the 794 pieces of logs they have. Cut to the screen fading to black and display recomended videos.

I didn’t even notice the inventory bars down the bottom until the video was almost over, what a cool way to show the backlog of items in the cannon!

Ah yes, finally, sound! It was very satisfying hearing everything happening, all the blocks being placed, all the tnt and breaks! I hope you do more things where sound is involved.

Once again, amazing work MIKAN! I feel like the different weapons being effective against different defenses could be explored a bit more in different contexts, like the tower defense mode with seeking rockets you did a while back. Or really, any mode could have a twist with this. Hope you do something with it!

The sound effects were really loud in this one, but the concept and how it was done was really cool! I like how each block had its own properties too!

I love that you kept the sand effect Super interesting as always!

Wow, I love the idea of mixing minecraft and multiply or release. This is amazing an keep up the good work 😊

that 384 pickaxe kill was definitely personal

10:31 If Blue had used those bombs, Blue would have won

This makes so much sense, it's like one of those million view ideas, brilliant.

I like the 1v1's but seeing the same two colors fight over and over again gets irritating, I'm pretty sure the other colours would like to have fun as well

Suggestion items in case you do a part 2; Potion of Healing: Heals 0.5 to 1 heart to the user. Nether Portal: Summons a Nether Portal that can suck up any thrown item that goes into it, only one portal can be opened at a time. Only way to break it is to have Diamond Pickaxe break at least 2 blocks of the frame. Zombie: Throws a Zombie to the opponent's side which will get up and start breaking the opponent's blocks one by one, each block tier being harder to break. Can be killed using the next listed item as well as suffocation from sand. Diamond Sword: Throws a Sword like a Shovel, Pickaxe, and Axe. Can't do any damage against blocks beside glass and can be used to kill Zombies from the opponent's base.

The falling sand is the cherry on top.

Holy crap, this is one of the only times I can think of where someone **didn't** blow their halfway-point lead.

Just wait for someone to make this in the actual game

Damn, this probably took a long time and a lot of effort to make. Nice work

Took me a really long time to figure out that the cannons were protected by obsidian blocks and you had to break through those first before hitting the core.

Wow. The detail in this video in insane. The sounds are from Minecraft & all the graphics are to. It's probably one of your best videos ever! I'm speechless.

Red: We need to build a strong defense with different blocks! Blue: *s a n d*

I feel like two distinct strategies emerged here. no idea what either of them were, but they were definitely distinct

I like the sound effects that are put into this video, and plus it’s the first minecraft battle in this channel.

I have never before wished so intensely for the ability to see multiple iterations of the same map. This was just way too much fun to watch.

This is amazing, never expected this, but this is beyond expectation. Keep it up! Just going to throw out some ideas if you ever make more of these. Saplings to act as a small wall perhaps. Arrows, fire charges snowballs, or other projectiles. End crystal, though I dunno how it would work other then it being a upgrade to tnt. Usage of fire or fire spread maybe?

Mikan actually implemented Minecraft physics in their Unity scenes. Amazing

Red: *A decent defense strategy, diversifying blocktypes and ensuring one tool won't be the end-all-be-all defense breaker* Blue: *_SAND_*

This one was crazy in terms of mechanics and tension at the end , AND i win the bet for the first time in weeks? i pogged very loudly

"How much sand do you want?" Blue: *yes*

Red: I have a layer of wood, covered by some stone to protect from axes and glass to protect from other types of weapons Blue: *releases unholy amount of shovels*

The explosion effect is just like in MC ❤❤

Red’s fumble at the end almost made me lose 5 bucks.

You just upgraded your pc just for this, what a great skill you have! And at 1:23, did anyone noticed that the beat is in sync in the video for a econd?

Red: bruh this is too hard Blue: man you just got skill issues

*"I hate sand...it's course and rough...and it gets everywhere..."* _-Anakin Skywalker_

anyone else thrown off by the beat dropping multiple teams and no one winning? they always make the win happen at the beat drop in every video?

Thumbnail: **chaos** Me: Cool! Cannons: **chuck shovels** Me: Epic!

A, LETS GO RED WON B, What a cool concept Brilliant as ever

It's a neat idea, but it seemed like Red was dominating pretty much the entire match. Where was the patented, Mikan-branded, come-from-behind victory?

this is amazingly done! i enjoy it a lot

I imagine red and blue are freinds and just enjoy core destruction so they brought it to minecraft.

I don’t even support a side I like seeing the absolute CHAOS

Red: making a real defense Blue: *I AM THE SAND GUARDIAN, GUARDIAN OF THE SAND*

I feel like this was way more balanced than the other multiply and release vids, mostly because you need different bullets for different defenses, you can't just get 1 big number and win the whole game.

Wow you really improved MIKAN, using other computer games to build your races? Coool!

Red: I have an impenetrable defense, and there's nothing you can do to stop me! Blue: *sand intensifies*

This is literally the most satisfying thing I have ever watched

Man Microsoft must of been super excited when this crossover happened

Blue wasn't gearing up to fight Red, they were gearing up to fight Anakin, that's why they got all that sand

Me seeing a shovel break obsidian Also me: wait, that's illegal

6:06 Blue: *Has a lot of sand* Red's 178 shovels: I'm about to end this man's whole career

*Que bonito, me gusta la temática* 😃 💕 Ojalá haya más videos así Mikan ✨🍊⛏️

i love this, would love to see more block variety and tool upgrading mechanic

Fun fact: when something gets launched, it’s a dispenser noise When a tnt gets launched, it’s the tnt lighting noise When blocks gets placed, it resembles the sound of the block that gets places

Red:the reasonable one Blue:T H E S A N D G U A R D I A N

This is fun to watch!! Next.. Core Destruction x Minecraft - Mobs Battle 😎

Red : I'm absolutely balanced 😎🗿🥂 Blue: S . A . N . D

When you ask, who stole all of your diamonds...

This is nuts. I am astonished. Flabbergasted. Amazed. Wonderful job.

本当に凄い…いつも思っている事だけれど、それでもコメントせざるを得ないほどに。天才的。

Blue: Making a sand castle Red: Starts throwing shovels Blue: Oh sh-

(SPOILERS about the outcome) Red is the new dream?

I loved when Minecraft said: "it's Minecrafting time" and Minecrafted all over the place, truly the best unity moments of all time

holy s... such a great idea ! love it!

That was such a close contest! Love it

The crossover we didn't know we needed, this is cool :D E :)

I’d love a Twitch stream that just played this nonstop

Blue: ight ima build a sand castle!

I am thoroughly entertained. Well done sir. You have my sub.

Recuerdo cuando apenas tenias 23k suscriptores as avanzado vastante estoy orgulloso de ti, sige adelante

I love this! The attention to detail is something.

At the end when blue exploded, a SINGLE BLUE DOT survived and blue have an insanely 999 (unstackable in minecraft as the limit is 64) sand

Now this is so cool! Loved the video man. Huge inspiration

"Core Destruction - Animation vs. Minecraft Shorts Ep 32" is a better name

The endgame: random bulls*t go!

Minor major issues: Axes do the same amount of damage as pickaxes and shovels (Shovels, as a rule, deal half a hit point more than a pickaxe of the same ore tier. For diamond tools, the axes deal 9 damage, the pickaxes 5, and the shovels 5.5.) TNT explosions damage obsidian when they shouldn't (Obsidian has a blast resistance of 1200, while the effective maximum block-breaking power of a block of TNT is 15.534 at point blank range.)

This was cool to watch. I've enjoyed watching videos you make. This looks like it took forever to make and it is one of your best ones to date

This is the best RU-vidr : by the way the blocks somehow created houses

I can tell Anakin Skywalker wasn't a member of blue team.

Please make a sequel

We need more of these, with other games Survival rain world slugcat/slugPUP race lol And slime rancher slimes And whatever other games i have on my computer Rain world downpour slugPUPS would be the cutest though lol

Well this is an interesting concept

It is amazing that it is same as minecraft and it syncs with it. (We need a rematch too)

I was NOT expecting this, but HOLY HECK WAS THAT AWESOME!!!!!

Blue had too many blocks that they couldn't get a consistent offense which lead to their downfall.
