MineZ Return to Valar is the first season for Jacob's Hardcore series. The season has eight cast members playing in MineZ, split into two teams. The first team is Jacob, Nyeck, Mario, and Tri starting at Pravus. The second team is Mommavan, JackP, Phen, and Hammy starting at Carmi. The two teams need to meet at Loraful Mines and then complete the Bloodstained Abyss. The series is edited by Jacob, and the portraits are also made by Jacob.
His internet died, leaving him unable to rejoin so he was counted dead. Because he didn't really die, a fake death was made showing him being swarmed by Zombies in the heck dimension.

The season began on Jacob's channel's 7th year anniversary.
The season has a total of four characters that join portraits on the overlay: Sean the Shiver, Pablo E. the Zombie Pigman, Kazam (a random player who tagged along for a bit in Episode 4), and another Zombie Pigman.
Sean is abandoned somewhere in the snow biome.
Pablo E. is given a hug by JackP, killing Pablo and spawning four children.
Kazam meets the group at Festival of Valar and follows them to Sanctuary of Peace. Although Jacob and Phen want to kill him, the rest of the group doesn't want to. They abandon Kazam at Sanctuary of Peace despite his efforts to be friendly.
The other Zombie Pigman is killed and then his children chase Phen for a while, while Hammy watches from a good spectator's view.
This marks the fifth non-mini season of one of Jacob's hardcores where Jacob and Phen's deaths are next to each other in sequential order (referred to by them as "The Curse"). This has also happened a few times in other series.
