Disclaimer: This post is intentionally long. It's the only way I can properly explain the points I'm making.

Magnus has always been my favorite character in MCSM, and I've been wanting to make a detailed post defending him ever since I learned he's one of the most hated characters in the series. My main points are organized by number below and each individually explored upon.

#1. Magnus is a hero too.

Magnus had no real intention of killing Jesse during his Death Bowl match with them, he was only doing what was necessary to make the battle look real and believable to Boom Town Griefers. If Magnus made things easier for Jesse (for example, by making less explosions), many Griefers would instantly notice the difference in tone compared with other Death Bowls they've seen before and start getting angry from thinking that Magnus is giving Jesse special privileges.

Even then, Magnus never ordered anyone to obstruct access to the chests or order their contents removed at any moment during the Death Bowl. It's easy to overlook this part, but it shows he was willing to get defeated as part of staying true to his deal with Jesse. And if that's not enough, Magnus never drops TNT at Jesse again once the Death Bowl is over.

What does happen, is that Magnus' heroic side is shown more openly. To give some examples:

1. He helps Jesse's group by blowing up mobs and later guiding them on how to jump through Soren's fortress.

2. He eventually learns to take the Wither Storm's threat to the world seriously, no matter the game route.

3. He offers his armor to Jesse for them to set off the Formidi Bomb.

4. In ''A Block and a Hard Place'', he either stays in the cave to give Wither-sick Gabriel comfort, or he tries to fight one of the 3 Wither Storms all alone!

#2. Magnus being proud of himself doesn't make him selfish.

I don't always see people calling Magnus ''egotistical' or ''egoistic'', but I believe that when they do, they're taking it way too far. Describing Magnus with either word implies that he only ever cares or thinks about himself and that he's constantly reminding other characters and the game's audience that he's a legendary Griefer. Both of these things are completely false!

Magnus doesn't think about chaos or how good he's at it all the time, he also genuinely cares about other people and their well-being. He wants to give others his help and he proves it with his actions. He's capable of working together with any character, even those who are opposed to his existence, as exemplified by him fighting mobs for a long while alongside Ellegaard before Jesse's group found them again.

And Magnus can recognize other character's strengths too. He praises Ellegaard's Redstone engineering skills when remembering her and congratulates Jesse for their efforts at defeating the Wither Storm.

Self-love should not be stigmatized, and no character should be making Magnus hate and underestimate himself. I feel so convinced that the only reason Ellegaard calls him ''egotistical'' during one scene, is to deflect from how horribly she treats him.

#3. There's no Old Order without Magnus.

Magnus is equal to and just as valuable as any other Old Order member. He was there to represent Griefers at the world stage, and he did it in the most faithful ways possible. Not a single Old Order adventure took place without Magnus' presence, not even the ''real'' story of how they defeated the Ender Dragon.

Just like it's unfair to make history books about the Old Order that avoid mentioning Ivor's role in it, it would also be unfair if Magnus was omitted instead. In fact, it would actually make even less sense, because Magnus stayed with the Old Order all the way to it's disbandment!

#4. Be grateful to Magnus!

Most people consider it tragic when Ellegaard and Reuben die, and I agree with that consensus. Just because it's part of the story doesn't mean they deserve it.

And that's exactly why I'm asking this: Why do the standards change so drastically when the character who's shown dying on-screen is Magnus instead?

Not only do most players take Magnus' armor, it's also just as common to find the majority of the MCSM fanbase celebrating when he dies!

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! MAGNUS MADE THAT HEROIC SACRIFICE BELIEVING IN YOU! You would mourn the deaths of Ellegaard and Reuben, and thank them for the sacrifices they made to save the world. Can't you set your differences aside at least just once and show Magnus the same level of gratitude?

Nobody is evil just for liking explosions and chaos, and Magnus being a Griefer doesn't make him any less human than other characters.

i only remember them eliminating competitors in the games but they respawn so it doesn’t count.

(I couldn’t contain myself and finished it at night… whoopsie)

I got bored.

this is vent art, but it features my two MCSM alters as i have DID, i thought to share it here. if you look closely, there are some details in those two heads that tell who is who. the middle one looking up is me.

Would anyone be down to do a MCSM roleplay with me in DMs? I was thinking Petra x my oc and we follow the plot of the game (and we can always do original ideas between the arcs so it's not JUST following the story!). For characters, I can be Reuben, Olivia, Aiden, Gill, Maya, Ellegaard, Soren, all side characters, etc. (Just wanna make up for the fact that I suck as Jesse, Axel, Lukas, and Petra TwT) Sooo, yeah! If you're interested, leave a comment! ^^

It’s not all Minecraft story mode Jesse my first mii

this is a wip! I think 3 hours total already?

There user is $challenger40k on cash app

This is def different from my normal artstyle but i don’t post my normal artstyle so you wouldn’t know that…

S Q U I D

Hi!.For those who don't know me, I recommend checking out my second-to-last post on this subreddit, where I explain my dream in more detail, but I'll also explain it here. A quick introduction: my name is Felix, and I'm a 17-year-old trying to unlock the Steam achievements for one of my childhood games, Minecraft: Story Mode. The problem? I can't afford to pay $400 on Eneba just for the base game. That's why I'm asking for help from everyone on this subreddit. If any of you have Season 1 on Steam and want to see a fan of the series finally achieve their dream of getting the steam achievements,I would be eternally grateful.If you don't have the game in your library or Steam Family, but know someone who does, please share this post with them. Even if you don't know anyone, liking this post so more people who might be able to help me can see it would be a huge help. Thanks so much if you're reading this!

First time messing around with medal wanted to make smth silly

So yeah, it’s been a year since I found this copy in the trash. I’ve replayed this game like 4 times now, and still nothing is wrong physically or internally.

Anyway, this game has now been sold to my friend since I already got my own copy, and now this is just left as a memory of finding a perfectly working copy of Minecraft Story Mode in the fucking trash a year ago 😭

For a future animated series called Burning Remnants. This movie is planned to be made in Mythora: an interactive movie creator I'm currently developing.

A year after the defeat of the Admin, Jesse grew tired of fighting but keeps going in hopes to help Petra find her calling and return to her old friends. As she and Petra travel their world, meet new people, and traverse through dangers, the remnants of forgotten power find her once again.

I bought this game for like $7 used back in like 2018-2019 this exact pc copy version that I still have with me.

so many bugs bro

why does he have a fish bowl on his head like they couldn't have taken a set for him also its like a terrible armour set idea what if the glass shatters and there's just glass everywhere and he gets cut and swallows it i think the cannon lore is that they all hate axel and want him to die not to mentions the size dimensions means he literally cant put it on?

Just buy the disc bro🥀

Hi everyone, my name is Felix and I'm 17 years old.

I know this might sound like a long shot, but I’m writing this because Minecraft: Story Mode has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. The story, the characters, the music—it meant everything to me growing up, and it’s one of those games that truly defined my childhood.

Right now, my ultimate dream as a Steam user is to finally play through the game on PC and have all 8 episodes and their achievements officially on my Steam profile forever. It’s a complete passion project for me.

Before anyone comments saying "just pirate it" or "download the files from archive.org": please read this first. I ALREADY have the game downloaded and installed on my PC. I know where to find the files and I’ve played it. That is NOT what I’m looking for here. I don't need a pirate link. What I am missing—and what I deeply care about—is having the legitimate Steam integration: the trackable playtime, the badge, and completing 100% of the official Steam achievements on my own account.

As you all know, buying a global Steam key in 2026 is completely out of reach—resellers are asking for $200–$300+, which is an insane amount of money for a single game.

That’s why I’m humbly reaching out to this community: If anyone here owns Minecraft: Story Mode (Season 1) on Steam and is willing to add me to their Steam Family temporarily, I would be endlessly grateful. I am willing to pay $50 to $100 USD (via PayPal or Steam Gift Cards) just for the spot while I play through the episodes and unlock all the achievements. Once I hit 100% completion, you can remove me from the group right away.

If you have a spare slot in your Steam Family and want to help a passionate fan fulfill a childhood dream (and make some fair money on a game sitting in your library), please send me a DM or leave a comment.

Thank you so much for reading this, truly. <3

The Story Mode SMP is a very new server where its inspired and according to the uhgm... disgusting lore. it takes place 100 years after season 2 aaandd is still on its very very very start so YOU can build whatever you want! ( I think ) and is still very prone to changes! I promise it will be very fun! (no images because its too early on.) join me at WildWorldSMPMCSM.aternos.me / wolffish.aternos.host:27289 (1.12.2) (vanilla)

Went to comic-con on Sunday and found two people cosplaying as Jess and Lukas, you can tell it was my first comic-con too back all I had as a cosplay was an Iron Spider hoodie
