Minecraft, But (series)

Minecraft, But is a series where the Dream Team and friends beat Minecraft differently than how it is normally played. Custom plugins are coded by Dream and GeorgeNotFound. The two have been featured in most of the videos where they try to beat Minecraft. Sapnap also appears in a handful of the videos, as well as BadBoyHalo and Antfrost.

Overview
Minecraft, But usually involves the players attempting to beat Minecraft as fast as they can. Even if they die at any point, they still continue in most cases. If the challenge proves too much, they quit, concluding the video and losing the challenge.

History
The first time the Dream Team beat Minecraft in the Minecraft, But format was in Dream's "Minecraft, but XRAY is always on (#1)" released on October 14, 2019.

Minecraft, But Our Inventory Shrinks... is the first video George uploaded in the "Minecraft, But" series, released on November 17, 2019.

Minecraft, But The Speed Rises Every Second... is the first video Sapnap uploaded in the “Minecraft, But" (solo) released on April 4, 2020.

Variations
There are different variations of Minecraft, But. Not all involve all the players or beating the game.


 * Multiple players in one: Two or more players control one player - each player controls specific controls.
 * Mobs/world controlled by a player: The speedrunner tries to beat Minecraft while the hunter tries to kill the speedrunner by controlling the mobs or the world.
 * Minecraft Manhunt: The speedrunner attempts to defeat the Ender Dragon ("beat the game") while one or more hunters try to kill the speedrunner. See Minecraft Manhunt.
 * My Friend Is My Pet: One player is a mob while the speedrunner tries to beat the game while also protecting the pet. The pet can only fight mobs and cannot break blocks, place blocks, or eat on its own. The speedrunner has to protect and heal the pet. If the pet dies at any point before the speedrunner destroys the Ender Dragon, they lose.
 * Colorblind: Dream and Sapnap use a plugin that simulates what George normally sees in Minecraft due to protanopia colorblindness.
