Caves & Cliffs: Explorers is an animated short, made to promote and serve as a prequel to the map of the same name, telling the story of the Collapse.
Summary
The video opens on a rainy night in the village, where the Engineer is hard at work in their lab. A nearby seismometer in their laboratory begins to go off, concerning the Engineer. Meanwhile under the town, several miners are working to harvest copper ore in the mineshaft featured in the map. As many miners work to distribute raw copper into minecarts with chests, an earthquake suddenly catches everyone off guard, knocking a miner off a bridge and holding on for dear life.
While trying to save themself, the minecart falls off, scattering its contents as people throughout the mine try to evacuate. It eventually falls into a canyon, nearly hitting two miners trying to stay clear of lava. Unfortunately, a third miner ends up falling in alongside it. Back on the surface, the Engineer hurries out of their house, horrified to see the village collapsing into a sinkhole. An iron golem tries to help, carrying several villagers in a panic as others flee, however it too falls into a hole and tosses the villagers away to higher ground. Bracing for impact, the iron golem appears to fall right on top of a miner.
As the dust settles, Steve and Alex appear, horrified at what had transpired. Looking up from the dark, several survivors try to compose themselves, ending on a shot of the town as it appears in the map, the Mayor looking outward.

Trivia
- Among the equipment in the Engineer's laboratory is a camera.
- Although effectively the protagonist of the video, the Engineer is absent from the map itself. However, its model can be found unused, with a speech bubble referencing a sculk sensor, suggesting it was cut due to its delay.
