* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: In Episode 1, Jack's arguments with Nurm about the existence of the Admin comes off as an aggressive atheist arguing with a religious follower. It ends up emphasized if Jesse doesn't take Jack's side.

* UnfortunateImplications: In Episode 1, there's ''this'' exchange. Inside the Prismarine Temple during the topic of the Giant Prismarine Colossus statues, Jack enforces his disliking for the said statues. Nurm (a [[AmbiguouslyHuman villager]]) calls him out for it, taking it the [[MistakenForRacist wrong way]].
-->'''Jesse:''' Right? And what's up with their faces? They don't even look, y'know, like people.\\
'''Jack:''' I know. I hate them. ''([[DoesNotSpeakCommon Nurm rebukes him]])'' Uh, no, Nurm. There's nothing wrong with "not people." C'mon, geez...

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Female Jesse is just as prone to AmusingInjuries as male Jesse is, especially if you fail a lot of the quicktime events.

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Jesse is beloved by everyone in Beacontown for all he has accomplished. Though this has the drawback of not having as much free time as he used to because he has many responsibilities around town and people are always asking him for help or asking him questions about his adventures.

** TheSmartOne: Olivia.
** TeamPet: Reuben.
** SixthRanger: Lukas.

** TeamPet: Lluna.
** SixthRanger: Radar.

%%* FiveManBand:
%%** TheLeader: Jesse
%%** TheLancer: Lukas
%%** TheSmartGuy: Olivia
%%** TheBigGuy: Axel
%%** TheChick: Petra
%%** TeamPet: Ruben

'''Oliva:''' We have no idea.

* OutOfFocus: Axel and Olivia go on to do their own thing in Episode 5, and are absent for the rest of the episode and the next, with the episodes being primarily about Jesse, Petra, Lukas, and [[spoiler:Ivor]]. [[spoiler:They finally return in Episode 8, as Hadrian tries to goad Jesse into losing for their safety.]]

** Another villainous one can come from [[spoiler:Hadrian]] near the end of episode 5. [[spoiler:If you tell him [[PreAssKickingOneLiner "I'm gonna make you beg for another deal!"]] earlier, [[TemptingFate he'll scoff at the idea]], but when he's surrounded by you and your friends on a narrow obsidian bridge above a crusher, he'll try to do just that. Jesse can even lampshade it.]]

* CoolPet: Reuben, who is unique among ''Minecraft'' pigs with his expressiveness and intelligence. Only Jesse seems to regard Reuben as cool, though.

* AnAxeToGrind: The White Pumpkin's weapon of choice. Specifically, a enchanted diamond axe.

* CaffeineBulletTime: How the effects of a Potion of Swiftness are portrayed from the perspective of the drinker.

* BookEnds: PlayedForLaughs. The series begins with Jesse and Olivia conversing about what they'd prefer to fight; chickens the size of zombies, or zombies the size of chickens. [[spoiler:TheStinger of Episode 8 ends with Hadrian and Mevia having played that game, and stuck in a world with either actual chickens the size of zombies, or actual zombies the size of chickens, depending on what you picked all the way back in episode 1. Incidentally, if you let the timer run out and didn't answer Olivia's question in episode 1, then the episode 8 stinger will default to the "chickens the size of zombies" choice.]]

* FakeShemp: Lukas has only two line in episode four[[note]]"Jesse? Man, is it good to see you." and "Where are the others?"[[note]. As it would have been awfully inconvenient to call in his voice actor to record just two lines, both lines were reused from different episodes.

** While the main group is building a bridge in the beginning of the fourth episode, [[spoiler:Soren]] is [[SkewedPriorities building a decorative archway with redstone lamps at the start of the bridge rather than contributing to the actual important process]]. Particularly funny because this happens while [[spoiler:the group is ''being chased by the Wither Storm'']].

* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:While trying to shut down PAMA, Jesse must fight one of his mind-controlled friends. They taunt him, claiming he will fail just like he failed to save Reuben]].

* WhamShot: In the first episode, Jesse finds a book documenting the legend of the Order and reads an extract from it. As they read, we get a flashback that seems to be the same as the opening cinematic... [[spoiler:except that this time the RoundTableShot continues past Soren and lands on Ivor, revealing that he was once part of the Order.]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: What became of the enchanted weapon you crafted in the tail end of Episode 4? We don't even see it in the treasure room.]]
** WordOfGod has stated that [[spoiler:the command block tool was destroyed when the command block was destroyed.]]

-->'''Petra:''' Sometimes I worry you don't have time for [[ImpliedLoveInterest me]]-- your friends anymore.

** Oddly enough, it also manages to be DarkerAndEdgier when compared to ''{{Videogame/Minecraft}}'' itself, with such concepts as [[spoiler:the Wither Storm, which when compared to the already EnemyToAllLivingThings version in-game is [[UpToEleven upgraded]] to a PersonOfMassDestruction, acting like a living natural disaster and destroying entire cities merely by being present. As an extension of that, this game's version of Wither Sickness is an IncurableCoughOfDeath that literally causes a person to rot away to nothing.]]

* IronicEcho: At the start of episode seven, Jesse can tell Petra three statements regarding her frustration about the portal hopping. Whatever Jesse says to her, PAMA will repeat back to them using Petra's voice when it's preparing to chip them.

** Even if you manage to keep your stone sword (by threatening the butcher with it instead of trading it to him), it ''will'' break at the same time as the gold one would, despite gold swords being less durable and both of them being used the same number of times (unless you choose to fight the monsters on the bridge, but that wouldn't diminish the stone sword's durability enough to match the gold one's). If you crafted a bow and arrows for the second crafting puzzle (or got a bow and arrows from Boom Town), you ''will'' be forced to use all of the arrows shortly after your sword breaks. [[spoiler:This is so you ''have'' to enchant the diamond weapon you craft in Ivor's armory.]]
