Pick Five

Start with nothing but one dirt block and one choice: pick your five.

Pick Five is a Minecraft survival challenge mod where every new world begins the same way:
you spawn on a single dirt block with nothing else around you and a Magic Paper in your hand.

Right-click the paper to open a searchable item picker and choose exactly 5 starter items from the game.

That is your run.
That is your strategy.
That is your chance to prove your route is the best.

How it works

  • You spawn on a single dirt block
  • You begin with a Magic Paper
  • Right-click the paper to open the starter selection menu
  • Choose exactly 5 items
  • Confirm your choices and begin your survival run
  • The paper is removed after use
  • Each new world starts fresh

The challenge

Everybody starts under the same rule:

You only get five starting items.

After that, it is all about planning, efficiency, and survival.

Try it your way:

  • Go for the safest survival setup
  • Try risky speedrun routes
  • Attempt a Hardcore clear
  • Challenge friends to use the same five items
  • Compete to see who can beat Minecraft the fastest

Why Pick Five?

Most survival challenge mods force one route.

Pick Five does the opposite.

You create your own opening strategy.
Every run can be different.
Every choice matters.

A lava bucket, sapling, and ice might be enough for one player.
Another might build around food, combat, or pure progression.

The best five is up to you.
