The 404 Challenge is back for minecraft 1.21! The 404 challenge is one of the classic minecraft Challenges that is slowly being revived. The basics are as follows: 1. Begin collecting resources before nightfall, including rare items that cannot be obtained below the surface (leather is a good one) 2. When the sun begins to set (about 3/4 the way down) you will find the gravel pit. Then, you will break a piece of gravel, causing the gravel to fall and reveal a large cave entrance. 3. You must stay inside of, and survive the cave. 4. You are allowed to visit the nether and end dimensions

There are two play styles for the challenge that gives the player a unique opportunity to get what they desire out of this challenge. You can use the points system, which is outlined in a section below, in order to turn it into a game of getting a high score. You can also treat this as a handicap to the normal gameplay loop, offering a unique opportunity to farm resources you otherwise wouldn't need, and find methods of getting things outside of the traditional scope of Minecraft. The cow is always watching, you have angered the unperturbed. 

 The Rules!

1. You have until night fall to gather supplies. Spend your time wisely! Once night hits you MUST venture into the hole, never to return to the surface again!
   
2. You can gather any resource you find top side, but venturing into any other caves (for iron mostly) is not allowed. Sunlit caves are allowed.
3. You must not break ground on the 404 gravel until you are ready to enter the cave. You are intended to be finding shelter for the first night, digging the gravel, and discovering the cave. Once you break ground on the gravel, you must enter the cave.
4. Once you enter the cave, you must descend all the way to the bottom! The waterfall has swept you into the deepest parts of the cave.
5. No torches! If you whine about why you can't use torches, just STFU. Real men use lava for light anyway!  (Redstone torches, jack-o-lanterns, and flint n' steel are OK!)
6. Survive and thrive. Don't simply build a wall around yourself. Explore. Build. Progress! Your 'score' will be based on what you accomplished, not simply how long you survived.
7. Only mine ores that are is visible. If you see an ore, you can mine it and the blocks around it to see if you got all of it. No branch/strip mining allowed. You are spelunking/surviving here, not at your 9 to 5 mining job. (this one idc about lets be fr)
   
   8. Difficulty must be either Normal or Hard. If you play on hard you could get a 1.5x score multiplier.
   
   9. 1 life. If you die the challenge is over. Start a new 404 world if you want to try again.
   
   10. No inventory edits or 'cheating' of any kind. Using F3 to see mob locations is considered cheating as well
