Counting Sheep

Counting Sheep is the 78th episode of the Xbox Let's Play. In this episode, RealDanTDM moved all his sheep from the Barn to the Sheep Pen after he had a severe overpopulation of sheep.

Plot
RealDanTDM starts the video in his house before showing off the newly-completed Silly Squid (structure). Off-camera, he improved the ink path and moved the tentacles. Then he mentions the overpopulation of sheep, and goes to the Sheep Pen. It is entered through a long tunnel. He then explains that his Diamond Pickaxe is nearly broken due to the caving of the pen. He gets started on the pen, but his stone axe broke, and he only had wood. He grabbed stone from the tunnel to make another stone axe. He starts building the pens, leaves two gaps for the sheep in each pen, then later makes one too long before fixing it. He needed 14 pens for all colors except light colors. This was soon changed to only 9 pens. After more caving of grass, his pickaxe was at risk of breaking soon. He goes back to his house and into bed, and continues caving grass before cutting the scene.

He finishes the pens and goes grab wheat for the sheep, as well as more bread. He realizes that he only eats bread in the series. He grabs 35 pieces of wheat, and breaks a hole from the sheep pen in the barn, letting all the sheep free. He moves the sheep into their new pens. After filling all 9 pens with sheep, he replaces one of the fences with gates. He then goes back to bed. In the morning, he grabs more colors for the sheep. After dying the sheep, he breeds them to make a babies. He then cuts the scene for more colors.

He comes back with more colors, and dyes and breeds sheep. However, when he was trying to breed the green sheep, the max limit of breeding mobs was reached, meaning that RealDanTDM can no longer breed anymore sheep. He then shows the pens with sheep with a tour. He them makes one of the pens a double pen, later becoming the white sheep pen. He accidentally grows weeds and flowers in that pen while trying to close the gate. After showing the sheep pens, he tried to make the floors of the pens their colored wool, but realized that the sheep would not be able to eat and regrow their wool. He then decided to put wool around the fences. He then ends the episode.
