Tycho, James, and I all become Diamond Defenders

This week Tycho and I play another mini game that I'm not so terrible at. The rules of the game are simple, you get a stick that knocks creepers that blow your diamonds off the stage. There are roughly two hundred diamonds that you have to try and keep on the field and can't be blown up like normal items. The new snapshot lets you spawn in item entities that don't expire and can't die. Normal entities in the game can be blown up by any kind for explosion and also expire after five minutes.

I didn't really find the game that challenging mainly because the creeper's explosion radius wasn't really big enough to blow too many of the diamonds off the map. You were supposed to start the first ten rounds with a stick that can knock creepers off the platform, but the map glitches and we didn't receive any sticks until after round 10. Even without the sticks we were still able to hold a bunch of the diamonds on the platform with no problem just by luring the creepers to the center and just letting them explode. The game also makes you invincible and basically makes it impossible to fail until the late game, when we got our sticks and went off the the edge and accidentally pushed some of the diamonds off. The game is fast paced and fun to play with your friends. A side effect of your invincibility also makes creepers launch you incredibly high in the air and that can be a lot of fun.
