With the help of Murray and his invention, Tera and Kalo have become powerful and fierce Wardens. They seemed unstoppable at this point. Calvin and his friends tried to stop Tera, Kalo and Murray from causing chaos in the Overworld but have failed several times. When all hope seemed lost, and when all chances to capture the evil Wardens have disappeared, a new ally arises. This secret ally promises to help the group find out more about the Wardens’ plans and offer help in capturing the monsters and bringing peace back to the world.

Professor Murray is conspiring with the evil Wardens, Kalo and Tera, to create chaos in the Overworld. The evil Wardens had grown powerful and faster with the help of Professor Murray, who has found a way to collect energy from lightning bolts using an Artifact from the Woodland Mansion. Professor Johansson and Beatriz’s invention was no match to the strength and speed that Kalo and Tera now possessed. Will Calvin and the rest of the gang find a way to capture the vile group before they become unstoppable?

Calvin and friends have been played and fooled by Kalo and Tera. It turned out that the Warden siblings were not the victims at all but were the ones seeking the ruins of humans and other creatures. Kalo and Tera were now on the loose wreaking havoc in the Overworld and they have teamed up with an enemy from Calvin’s and Johansson’s past.

Calvin and Peter embarked on a journey guided by a treasure map. It turned out that the map was a trap. It revealed a new dimension under the Bedrock layer called Amethyst where an ancient beast was sealed to slumber for eternity. But Calvin and Peter have awakened the Warden. This monster was thought to be no more than an old tale by many. With a new threat on the horizon, could Calvin and his trusty friends face the new challenge and emerge victorious for the sake of the Overworld? Will they be able to ensure the safety of both humans and Piglins?

The Triad Society has been destroyed. The new era between the Nether and the Overworld is about to begin. Can anything go wrong in Calvin’s world? This ‘new era’ would start with the opening of the borders with the city of Minerland in the Overworld. The Mayors of both towns–Robert of the Overworld, and Carl of the Nether came to an agreement and decided to unite both worlds. This partnership is positively received by all citizens from both sides of the Portal. However, a missing human scientist is about to make a scientific breakthrough about an ancient creature.

Something is driving the entire piglin race into extinction…It all started when a mysterious portal spawned in the middle of the Crimson Forest. None of us knew who built it, where it came from, or how it ended up there. It was unlike anything we’ve seen in the Nether before. Little did we know, it would be the beginning of the end – The Armageddon.

Now that the Nether Dragons have their new leader, Krop, their race has been saved from extinction and more Nether Dragons will spawn in the Nether. But the Piglins are not happy with having the Nether Dragons in their realm. A group of Piglins even formed an Anti-Dragon Association to voice their opposition against the Dragons, saying these ancient creatures are violent, aggressive, and a threat to the Piglins’ safety. Calvin and Peter are determined to show the Piglins that Dragons are not enemies, but friends and they are willing to form an alliance with the Piglins.

The triad bastion has been defeated, the triad society ceases to exist and the Piglin terrorist has been eliminated. There is finally peace in the Crimson Forest and even in the whole Nether. Detective Kelly thinks Detectives Calvin and Peter deserve a much needed break. Crimson City is indebted to these two heroic Piglins for protecting the city. With time to waste Calvin and Peter is ready to find the treasure indicated in the map found in the possession of D’tort. What treasures will they find or does the treasure map’s undecipherable code hold secrets that should have remained hidden...

However, the Nether Dragons waged war against the humans who first explored the Nether some hundreds of years ago. In this battle, the fierce and cruel humans hunted and captured the leader of the Nether Dragons, known as “The One”. This creature was taken back to the Overworld, and eventually it escaped. But some believe the escapee became what is known today as the Ender Dragon! Calvin and his friends must capture the Ender Dragon and bring him somehow back to the Nether dimension where it truly belongs.
