Minecraft Hardcore Season 8: Wheel of Death Edition (Ethereal)
Ethereal Minecraft HC #8 is the tenth official season of Ethereal, hosted, edited, and uploaded by DarthAurora. The goal was to clear out the Woodland Mansion. The twist of the season was the presence of a "Wheel of Death". At the start of the season, each player was assigned a teammate. If one of said teammates died, the other had to spin the Wheel of Death, which included a wide set of debuffs and handicaps, ranging from permanent status effects like Weakness and Nausea to more lethal punishments such as Russian Roulette. The only way to remove a debuff was to sacrifice a diamond block. The cast consisted of Darth, SystematicFails, Greenpoison, SmartAlekParrot, Segramis, NiftyStrider, TheRaven, Seth, TheUnknownPie, and HappyMcguffy.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- There were some inconsistencies with the criteria for when a player had to spin the Wheel of Death. It hadn't been established beforehand what happened to a player's team status when their teammate died; the on-the-fly decision was made that they would be added to another full team if this should occur. However, during the Woodland Mansion battle there were two instances where a player wasn't immediately added to another team after their teammate died, resulting in them not spinning the wheel when the remaining teams had a member die (this happened to TheUnknownPie after TheRaven died, and Systematic after Alek died. Notably, at the time of the Russian Roulette punishment there were only three players remaining, which meant that Darth's death should have resulted in both Greenpoison and Systematic spinning the wheel. However, only the former did so).
- This season holds the record for the most deaths contained in a single episode (six deaths in episode 7).
