Assembly Required, also known as Episode 2, is the second episode of Minecraft: Story Mode. It was released on October 27, 2015. The episode follows Jesse and their friends as they set out to recruit either Magnus or Ellegaard, members of the Order of the Stone, in an effort to stop the wither storm.

If Jesse decides to find Magnus, Jesse, Axel and Reuben will return to the Nether and arrive at a portal which leads them to Boom Town. Similarly, if Jesse decides to find Ellegaard, they will return to the Nether and arrive at a portal which leads them to Redstonia, known as "the capital city of engineering".

At Boom Town, they find that the village is overrun by griefers. Jesse, Axel and Reuben barely escape the onslaught by the griefers, arriving at Magnus' hideout. They discuss with Magnus about leaving to go save the world, in which Magnus agrees, despite initially being reluctant. However, Magnus cannot leave the tower because he is the king of Boom Town, so they decide to stage a fight in the Death Bowl, to make Jesse win and become king. During the fight, Magnus loses control and builds a cannon, but Jesse barely wins, exploding the TNT in the cannon with a bow, allowing Magnus to come along with them. The other griefers prepare to attack Jesse, but the wither storm arrives and destroys Boom Town, forcing Jesse, Axel, Reuben and Magnus to retreat back to the temple through the Nether.

At Redstonia, they see Ellegaard, who locks herself in her dome of concentration on her greatest project to create the command block, and disables the stairs to get in through her assistant. Jesse creates a repeater or steals one from Disco Mickey's contraption and enables the stairs' controls, leading them to the dome. Inside, they meet Ellegaard, who has attempted to create a command block for more than 6,451 times. She is surprised to see Jesse and Olivia and thinks Calvin sent them here. Jesse interrupts, saying that Gabriel sent them here, and she remembers the Order of the Stone before they split up. Jesse, Olivia, and Reuben agree to help her create the command block. On the third attempt, Ellegaard thinks the command block is destabilizing, but the wither storm arrives and destroys Redstonia, forcing Jesse, Olivia, Reuben and Ellegaard to retreat back to the temple through the Nether.

Arriving back at the temple, Gabriel/Petra greets them, and Jesse's friends attempt to find Soren. Ivor shows up on the map, shocking Jesse's friends as well as the Order of the Stone. They all agree to stop him before he arrives at Soren's hideout. Jesse decides on whether to go to find Ivor at night or in the morning, and they leave to arrive to Soren's fortress.

At the fortress, Ellegaard and Magnus cause a ruckus regarding who should stop the wither storm, and they both go their separate paths. Jesse decides on whether to go with Ellegaard or Magnus, and Gabriel/Petra go along with Jesse to discuss about a private manner.

On the corridor, it is revealed that Gabriel/Petra has contracted a severe form of wither sickness from the wither storm. A creeper blows up behind them, causing the floor to give way to a library, where Jesse finds Ivor, who is not interested in reassembling the Order of the Stone, to the point of being against them. Gabriel/Petra appear to aid Jesse, and the three engage in a fight with swords and potions. Jesse's friends show up to stop him, but Ivor hits them with a splash potion of slowness, leaving them behind, so Ivor can kill Ellegaard and Magnus, as well as demolish the world.
