| "I think Minecraft is... I mean, I certainly don't think it's underrated, but I don't think so many people think about how revolutionary it is, in terms of just the gaming industry..." |
| — Stampy, about the uniqueness of Minecraft. |
"Stampy's Treehouse" is the fourth episode of Stampy's Lovely World, and the second of three successive episodes that are filmed in Crimcity instead of Stampy's Lovely World. In this episode, Stampy continues touring Crimson Azoth's first Minecraft world, Crimcity, while also showing his own builds along the way.
Plot[]
The video begins with Stampy explaining that, in between videos, a creeper had blown up the ground underneath his treehouse, though he is terraforming it to cover it up. Then, he climbs into his treehouse and describes how he has enclosed trees in glass. Stampy mentions how glass is a useful material for his house; at the time, the Xbox 360 edition of Minecraft did not have shears, so there was no way for glass to drop when broken; therefore, no one would try to steal it or break in.
Stampy encloses another room's tree with glass, but he notices it takes up a lot of space even after removing some leaves. Ultimately, he decides to remove it altogether, regretting that he wasted glass. He also decides to make that room his bedroom, especially because it has a nice view overlooking the rest of Crimcity. Then, he returns to building the roof again, this time working on the wood part rather than the glass part. He does this while talking about decorative ideas for his treehouse.
At the same time, he describes how he is handling the new skill of building at tall heights. He tries to build faster, but keeps putting down blocks in the wrong places or falling into the treehouse. He also mentions how, even though a high treehouse is safe from googlies, they often collect underneath; while talking about this, a clip is overlaid at the upper right hand corner of the screen, showing the many googly swarms that Stampy has had to deal with (sometimes, Craig has to lure them away from him).
Stampy also takes some time to appreciate Minecraft music, describing it as soothing. He finishes the base of the roof as the sun rises, detailing the border between wood and glass with stairs. Unfortunately, he is unable to make diagonal stairs, because that feature had not been implemented into the game yet. Despite this, Stampy enjoys playing in an earlier version, embracing the progression of the delayed updates as well as the limitations that come without mods. Additionally, he likes that multiplayer is much easier to arrange in console versions than in the Java Edition. While discussing this, he begins to fence the edge of the roof.
When Stampy goes to craft more fences, he sees Craig coming to join him, but Craig is struggling to chase a boat he had lost, which amuses Stampy. Interestingly, Stampy says that the boat "might have have been eaten by an octopus," even though such a thing is not possible in Minecraft. Stampy then greets Craig by repeatedly crouching, which he incorrectly calls "thrusting"; then, he gets back to work on the roof. Stampy then takes some time to celebrate the unique, endless possibilities of Minecraft, calling it "revolutionary." Because he is so preoccupied by his speech, he doesn't notice that Craig has been standing above his glass-enclosed tree, and is startled (and swears) when he realizes. Craig is looking at gunpowder in his hand, but Stampy mistakes it for a map.
Then, Stampy tries to build a "plant pot" on the roof of his treehouse, by placing dirt enclosed in oak planks, and then putting saplings on the dirt, hoping trees would grow from them. He gets some dirt from the ground under the treehouse. Finally, Stampy adds a finishing touch at the bottom of the treehouse: a sign saying "Stampy's / Treehouse / No Girls / Allowed." Then, he moves away from the treehouse to show external angles, and then ends the video as the sun sets.
