— ←	Season 2 →

The first season of Minecraft: Ultra Hardcore consists of nine episodes; it premiered on August 07, 2013 and concluded on August 23, 2013.

The season introduced the original seventeen participants.

Production

The season was a Vanilla Free-For-All (FFA), everyone is on their own and the last remaining participant is deemed the winner of the event.

The season experienced its first major glitch, as leaving the server would automatically eliminate the participant from the game. This would cause an issue as several players were eliminated unexpectedly, leaving their season as a stop.

The season was hosted by Graser10 and Thinknoodles and the server was hosted by Thinknoodles. The intro sequence was made by PatClone and the music used was "Full On" by Kevin MacLeod. As a treat to the older viewers, the montages for the first, second, and third season will receive its own official montage. The official montage for this season premiered two years and five months later which was made by JordanWF (Bayani). The entire series follows a 2-day format, new episodes released every other day, starting on the premiere.

Summary

First Deaths

The first season of Cube UHC began with 17 Minecraft YouTubers hosted by organizers/participants GraserMC and RealThinkNoodles. Due to the lack of experience by majority of the players with the Ultra Hardcore mode, Season 1’s deaths and damages comprised mostly of natural damages. In Episode 1, IBobotastic met with variety of mobs including Zombies, Skeletons, Slimes, Spiders and Creepers and along with a daring expedition in the night to forage woods, had collectively brought him down to two hearts before a careless fall caused him to be the first UHC Cube death. In the following episode, Willybix was shot to death by a skeleton.

First Kill

First blood was drawn in Episode 2 when ExplosiveBisket, weakened to two hearts, attempted to run away from a Creeper by going down into his shallow cave. Spryite spotted ExplosiveBisket’s nametag while hunting and killed the same Creeper ExplosiveBisket was running away from. With 1-2 hits, Spryite killed ExplosiveBisket only to have himself suffocated by sand later in the episode.

Mid-Game

Other PVP kills before the finale included LaberosStar defeating MaxTheDog_ in an accidental cave meetup in Episode 4, and in the same episode, VikkStar123 succumbed to a suicidal bow shot. MiiNDSNiiP3 and StrauberryJam were unfortunately eliminated in Episodes 4 and 6 respectively due to technical glitches that would not allow them to reconnect to the server once they disconnected. One after another, from Episodes 5 to 8, kricken, LaberosStar, Vasehh, Flexvoid, Pokediger1 and RealThinknoodles all perished by natural deaths. In the last episode, Episode 9, there were 3 players left, Graser, Dowsey and PatClone. However, Dowsey, unluckily, was killed when he was shot off a ledge in a cavern by a skeleton on half a heart while escaping from mobs. This reduced the competition to the final two - GraserMC and PatClone.

Final Battle

GraserMC began the season with a dominant start in terms of relative hearts, mining and mob dealings and was all prepared to hunt for other players. Meanwhile, PatClone was unsucessful in obtaining a bow and had to resort to building a sky base for the final showdown with GraserMC.

The final showdown ensued in Episode 9. PatClone, trying to avoid a bow fight was to lure GraserMC into his small sky base ensuring only a melee sword fight would take place. However, due to GraserMC having problems finding PatClone’s base, PatClone had to provide his location to GraserMC. Eventually GraserMC spotted the base from a far but avoided notifying PatClone, sneaking up on the skybase. Meanwhile PatClone stepped at the edge of his sky base, looking for GraserMC. GraserMC's stealthy movements paid off - he fired an arrow, knocking PatClone off his base and was dealt with massive fall damage with only half a heart remaining. Though PatClone survived, he failed to run away from GraserMC and with only half a heart left, PatClone was killed in Episode 9 and GraserMC became the first winner of the Cube UHC.

2 players were originally going to compete in the season:
- Grapeapplesauce was originally going to compete in this season, but overslept.
  - If Grape didn't oversleep, Graser & he would've participated in all seasons (S1-21).
- BloodZelos was also going to compete in this season, along with Season 2, but had soccer games.
- YoshitoMario was originally going to compete but was out of town.

Season 9 paid homage to this season, the former airing almost exactly a year after the first season was aired.
This was also the only season to start on a day other than Tuesday (Wednesday) with the exception Season 8 (Saturday).
Vikkstar was actually not shown in the intro/logo probably because he committed suicide and that he did not post his footage.
Graser10 was the first ever winner of a Cube UHC.
This season contained the most PVE deaths.
