An Egg's Guide to Minecraft, often abbreviated to An Egg's Guide or Egg's Guide, is a series of animated short YouTube videos from 2012 that tells the story of Jason, a character from Element Animation's first video series, "The Crack!" on his adventures inside a video game called Minecraft. Throughout his travels, he makes friends like George, a faithful pig, and Steve, the suspicious but protective default skin, but accidentally brings back The Great and Powerful One, a widely-feared legendary being, who takes Steve prisoner and hunts Jason. Season 2, of which one episode has been released, appears to deal with Jason's capture and Steve suffering amnesia. The series is currently on indefinite hiatus due to lack of attention and production costs.
The story of how Jason got into Minecraft in the first place was explained in the first 3 episodes of season 2 of The Crack!, which are now grouped together as The Hacked Account Trilogy.
The series has had 18 episodes released and ends on a cliffhanger. Element Animation has announced Season 2, starting with Part 18, after almost 4 years of hiatus in which they searched for a new actor to voice Steve.
Plot[]
Upon finding himself in Minecraft, Jason is introduced to the game by a voiceover inside his head. With its help, Jason acquires a pig named George and begins to build his first house, but at nightfall they are attacked by monsters. George dies and Jason flees them through the night until the next morning, where he is saved by Steve. Aided by a guidebook given to Steve at a village, the two set off to find Notch and ask him of Steve's life's purpose.
However, the book is stolen by an enderman, and Steve discovers Jason floats when he punches him. A vision tells him Jason ate an eye of ender along with a lot of diamonds in the village. The two fall into a minecart ride, which results in a crash near the shrine of The Great and Powerful One. The latter is summoned by a witch and sets off to hunt the pair. With the help of his mobs, he traps them on a bridge halfway down a ravine. There, he captures Steve and reveals that he was the voice in Jason's head that guided him.
Jason escapes with the help of a respawned George and they enlist Villager #37 and Alex to help in getting Steve back. At Villager #37's home, Alex trains the villagers to fight, but it ends in disaster when an army of mobs comes looking for Jason, who took George and ran away to get Steve alone. Almost all of the villagers die, and Jason and George are captured by a small group of mobs in a nearby forest. One villager saw it happen and reports it to Alex, who takes him to save them.
Meanwhile, Steve is taken to the End and tortured by The Great and Powerful One, and as a result, does not remember Jason when he is taken to the same location.

Trivia[]
- The titles of the episodes are always a line in the episode, with the exception of Yolo due to it being only an April Fools joke episode. The convention has been acknowledged once, in We're under ATTACK!
- In the 2016 video New Studio! Jason records the line "And then I said, 'Steve! You're back! Where have you been?'" implying that Steve was originally meant to escape the End without Jason going there. This, however, is never said, as Jason is taken to the place where Steve is still being held. However, Jason has yet to say the line, meaning it could still be used or was never meant to be used in Egg's Guide at all.
- Egg's Guide is likely a midquel to The Crack! and not a separate series, as the latter showed Jason entering the game in We Weren't Hacked!? and when Chrisi revealed Jason had been gone for a long time in XCUBE ONE WITH ADDED KINOCT!
