*There are some important things to mention!* First is that many pieces of this video were recorded within the past 5 months, so in case anything I show here has already been shown somewhere else, i want to confirm that i have no intent to be copying anyone else's designs unless stated. There are also many times I say things like "in this recent stream," which is also because of this. Secondly, I think it's a good thing to realize that Pandora's Vault is a prison that has features with the sole purpose to add dramatic effect, like the lava curtain around the main cell. This video isn't about trying to make Awesamdude look bad (this guy is literally the reason for the inescapable prison fad and the success of a lot of creators). This video's really just for showing off some cool minecraft tricks for the sake of entertainment, and because I'm super into this kind of stuff. Lastly, the concept of canon lives. If you don't know what I mean, each character in the Dream SMP have 3 canon lives. Whenever the story of the SMP has a death written in for a character, that's usually a canon death. A lot of people pointed out to me that Dream dying in the prison to escape would take away his last canon life because it would affect the story, but I don't feel the same way. The prison visiting process involves 2 item checks where the warden kills the visitor to make sure they aren't smuggling in items. Why aren't these counted as canon deaths? Surely it would affect the story if the visitor was holding items and were let through. Canon deaths also tend to have a dramatic flair alongside them. Dream dying for the sole purpose of exploiting a mechanic wouldn't feel the same as Wilbur and Schlatt's final deaths. There was also apparently a reddit post by Wilbur himself which listed the number of canon lives of each character, and Dream's number was unknown, which could point toward him having infinite lives. So because of this I've kept in any method that involves dream dying in this way. *\/ \/ \/ MORE INFO IN REPLIES \/ \/ \/*
*THINGS I GOT WRONG IN THIS VID* LOL: So for the Elder Guardian Dodging segment, I said that in a server you could lower your render distance to unload the entities around you. This was because I misunderstood what a server admin told me and thought that this worked, but in reality *your client render distance doesn't affect anything in the server.* And this means that if there was any possibility of dodging the mining fatigue, it would not actually work. In the case of the Player Filter, it will still be able to work, you just need to be further away (and the stasis chamber will be even more helpful here). I realized that for the Player Filter, it would be really effective to use lava to break the portal instead of water, since it would catch anyone coming through the portal on fire, which would make it really easy to see invisible people.
I really like the unusable methods. With all the insane prisons being made, and TH-camrs like Mythrodak just finding a possible crack in the system and escaping, it's nice to go back to the OG prison and just spend some time analyzing it.
Finally, I've been waiting eagerly for a new squilly video! There are some really neat concepts and ideas you came up with here, also that failboat reference gave me a good laugh. Keep up the good work!
It’s unfortunate because I apparently misunderstood something, and turning down your render distance doesn’t actually change the chunks you load, it’s always 8 and the elder guardians will be loaded anyway :(
Can’t wait until they actually break out and this video becomes irrelevant /j. But seriously, these ideas are really interesting. I’d never really given the idea of breaking out of the prison too much thought because I’d just assumed they’d find some lore reason to get Dream out.
After watching the video I have to say you found some really intelligent solutions to some problems and the video was well edited and very informative. There were some really advanced solutions that I think prisons nowadays can still use even if now there are alternative solutions to some of the primitive problems. Overall good video this showed problems and their solutions. Great video!!! once again.
huh I never actually thought about that until recently because of how simple it seems. I think there is a time where both entrance portals are off, and it could be possible to generate a portal somewhere in the prison. In perfect conditions (no other nearby portals) I think you could generate one in a precise location.

Wow, that’s a lot…

thanks :] and im glad someone spotted that reference lol
You really did full on math to work out the chunks... Impressive, this is such a cool video!!
It’s unfortunate because I apparently misunderstood something, and turning down your render distance doesn’t actually change the chunks you load, it’s always 8 and the elder guardians will be loaded anyway :(
It's been a while... glad to see another upload!
hello squilly after 5 months you finally came back

Im glad your alive

"Withercannons are inpossible"
Jerrylum 2021 in the video valut 69 but what about squillys turret?
amazing video one question though what is the texture pack used?
I think it’s something like “dark modern UI” but I forget atm
Elder guardian dodging also wouldnt work because ur on a server on a server ur processing range is over 2 chunks
yeah i didn't know this at the time of making the segment, i try to clarify this in my pinned comment
Hype
They are under the cell, athleast dream said so (On technos stream)
What about using a nether portal from the nether to enter?
huh I never actually thought about that until recently because of how simple it seems. I think there is a time where both entrance portals are off, and it could be possible to generate a portal somewhere in the prison.
