- In honor of Halloween approaching, I thought it would be real fun to make a video like this, where I just sorta talk about various creepy stuff relating to old Minecraft, as well as the general experience of being a kid and hearing about these things. + a mini world update :)
I'm playing Beta 1.7.3 using the Betacraft launcher and an Old Cobblestone texture pack.

I’m getting a lot of comments suggesting that I made the tunnel lol. Check the description! I gave the seed and coords so anyone can verify that it is infact natural gen. I was originally planning on mentioning this in the video but I forgor :/
Hey girl
nice vid bro 👍
1:19 The thing is man, you get that paranoia because there really are things watching you
From the darkness they see you, from holes in reality they watch you, in your dreams, in the daytime, at night when you're walking or driving home
I know you feel them, i know you know i'm not lying, truth is stranger than fiction
Yep, It checks out!
people forget that old minecraft had literally the weirdest world generation 😂
Old minecraft is a liminal gem. I loved when a small update would come out and one of the bug fixes was called "removed herobrine". Made it more real for me as a kid lol.
💯
Yeah, sucks that they stopped doing that
@@ehheh6210because it was a notch thing, they are trying to distant themselves as far as possible with anything to do with him that’s not already in the game, especially after he said “it’s okay to be white” that was the final straw for them
@@ChickenJoe-tq6xddeserved, don cheadle made minecraft
So true!
I think the difference between old minecraft and modern minecraft in terms of horror and paranoia, is that old minecraft didn’t have as many mobs that felt “intelligent”. There weren’t villagers, piglins, pillagers, nothing. Just you in a vast, empty world where the smartest things were skeletons that shot at you. In that desolate environment, the idea of something being there, something intelligent watching you from the shadows, something left in this world watching you and you’re entering it’s territory without even knowing, that’s scary!
I always felt like something I couldn't even begin to try and understand was watching me at all times. Herobrine being "removed" during every update didn't help my 11yo self lol
My biggest complaint about modern Minecraft is how common villages are.
I like them being in the game, but they’d be much better as a rare outpost of beings that have survived the endless monsters rather than a significant population you see often.
i remember these feelings, just constantly accidentally scaring yourself and exploring on your own had this massive feeling of being a sole survivor of an apocalypse type thing
it was a very lonely existence (in single player at least!)
Modern minecraft feels very well populated. Adventure update era minecraft feels like a deserted civilization lost to time. Old minecraft is like a world where nobody was ever there in the first place.
Fym old Minecraft and piglins, if that's considered old to you, you must be ten
I was a wee lad playing an old version of pocket edition back then.
One day, on a cliff face, I saw a single cobblestone block.
It's Impossible I said to myself. I spent days forming a base near the cliff. I was afraid to look at it.
As days went by, I stepped closer and closer to the anomly, building a bridge and a platform around the block.
Finally I mined the cobble to see what was behind it.
Turns out it was just water and lava spawning too close to eachother.
no, it must have been **herobrine** 😱
When I was a kid playing on my mom's old mac book, java edition, I build research stations in creative to research stuff like, "how to break bedrock" and "how to cure zombie villagers" it was just so much fun to explore what I thought as the unknown
@@picklenator9633 I'm not sure if it still works, but you used to be able to blow up bedrock if you had enough TNT. I made a 15x10x5 room of TNT on bedrock and besides it taking an age to detonate, and sending TNT as far as 300 blocks away in either direction, it did punch a hole in bedrock. I jumped in and saw the world vanish above me before dying. It made a giant cave too. Old minecraft was so good.
For the guy who found a base that he didnt build: i once had a singleplayer world where i spent 3 years building a city etc. One day i lost it and considered quitting altogether. I decided to start a new world and built a few houses and such and them went exploring. Terrain started looking familiar and then my city came into render distance, nearly all of my work was there, only a few buildings missing.
something similar happened with me and my brother's corrupted world of on an Xbox 36 from a while back
I have memories of something similar
i had very similar experience, but it happened once in lifetime
Similar experience here. When I was a kid playing Minecraft on the Xbox 360 in survival, whilst running away from mobs, I found a random house which I did not build which contained food and weapons. Strange stuff.
Old Minecraft just had an unsettling atmosphere. It’s substantially darker than modern Minecraft, textures are harsher, sound effects sound a little more distant, and caves are more cramped. Especially caving in old versions, darkness is genuine darkness and the caves are cramped, there is a lot more room for the unknown than there is in modern Minecraft. Obviously modern Minecraft HAS “scarier” things to be in caves, or greater threats, but you can see mobs in the dark and caves have opened up, you don’t scare yourself as much as you do in older versions.
Also tbh we were way younger and impressionable (I assume you are in yours 20s), and all the myths and mysteries that people passed around helped to give singleplayer a creepy vibe sometimes, and when we come back to this earlier versions we experience a mix of nostalgia and unsettling.
I sometimes feel the same with San Andreas, all the stories I heard when I hadn't full acess to internet all the time, always felt like an X-Files episode walking in the forest at night for me.
@@CoracaoAcidental98 this
And the game was better
and most important, fog
I'm playing Indev+ a minecraft mod for a alpha version of minecraft, It's pretty creepy that i don't get that much from modern versions of minecraft. Only mods can make modern versions probably more creepy or scary like the mod. From the Fog that adds Herobrine very realistically in sorta in a way. It makes me want someone make a mod that makes older versions more creepy with very rare spooky encounters. I'm trying "Better than adventure" a mod for 1.7.3 and I heard there is something that makes you not alone.
i think the reason why old minecraft is scary is because its so simple. nowadays, theres so many features that theres lots to think about- but back then, it was a lot easier to let your mind wander
I personally feel more creative when I have less to work with, so I do find the older versions more engaging.
@@strife312 i feel the same way. the limited building blocks make builds more charming in a way
perfectly said! humans greatest fear is the unknowing.
I played on a bad PC, so I was always surrounded by thick mist, so scary
@@DepressedLemur9 same! But It'd be more spooky if it were less laggy lol.
Old Minecraft gave me the same feeling Mario 64 gave me as a kid. Both games were a liminal enjoyers dream with how empty and open everything was. I remember as a kid feeling paranoid going around Peach’s castle and getting to relive that paranoia of being in a world alone as a teenager was great.
Yes!
Do you remember the game “Clay fighter” ?
Oh come on, Mario 64 is not creepy at all, it doesnt compare at all to old minecraft generation bugs like the bugs shown in the video.
@@FFK2K5 unfortunately I never got to play that one. I only had about 6 games in the n64 back then. Game looks really cool though.
@@Y_u_dum I never mentioned creepy, I mentioned paranoia. And if we want to talk creepy neither games are creepy at all without you overthinking things. Mario 64 only made me paranoid because I was a 5 year old with an active imagination and thought that bowser was actively watching me waiting to attack. Minecraft is only really scary if you were young and believed in Herobrine haunting your worlds. somebody who doesn’t know about Herobrine would just chalk up the weird generating bugs as just cool stuff inside the world.
Oh and also Mario 64 had this

Absolute nightmare fuel if you’re a child, same goes for the Minecraft cave sounds.
I used to create lots of flat worlds in Minecraft Pocket Edition to build structures that needed flat terrain (i.e. Fnaf pizzeria), and a strange thing that happened quite often is the game liked to crash while I was playing in one of those worlds.
What I would find after reopening the game is a message that the world has been corrupted. Loading said world would lead me to find giant terrain walls surrounding my world in all 4 directions.
Each time I opened the world in question, the walls began to close in even more, and when the walls reached each other and completely encapsulated the original flatlands, it turned into a standard minecraft world with terrain and biomes etc.
This really creeped me out when I was smaller, thinking the game or herobrine was punishing me or something.
I used to have almost the same problem in MCPE. But in my case the corrupted world (The corrupted world was Limited type, 256x256x128 blocks, those who played old MCPE alpha versions will remember) would be deleted, then nothing would happen for a while, then if the game crashed while in another Flat world with the same name (I didn't bother changing default world names), it would place almost the entire 256x256 world (Every chunk I interacted with) on spawnchunks of the Flatlands world on monoliths (It looked like monoliths because it was 128 block tall chunks on 4 block tall Flatlands).
The occurrence were pretty rare, as it required both world to crash and corrupt, and with the same name. The first time it happened I was very creeped out, but it also made my old builds look epic as those would be placed on tall monoliths and the cut off oceans and rivers of the Limited type world would flow down like waterfalls.
No horror game has ever scared me quite like old Minecraft.
Soy
@@nohandlefound. Your favorite drink?
@@emperorweskatine8999that means "am" more like "like me"
You must not play literally any horror games huh?
@@cookie1157 I played Outlast. It was disturbing, just not as much as Minecraft’s loneliness.
I really like the theory that the cave noises are your character hallucinating, because just like you, they're going crazy from the loneliness and liminality.
I have never heard that theory before. I like it.
I heard it was a mechanic, certain noises when you got within a block limit of either a cave or mineshaft or diamonds ect
@@shrederman9838 Well I mean it literally just plays whenever you're within the vicinity of a dark space of at least a few blocks mechanic wise, I was just saying lore/story/character wise I think it's cool.
Interesting.
I love the idea of that! Another idea which my brother just told me like I think the other day is that the cave sounds are like the echoes of the Warden deep underground. It's a bit far fetched but idk I like both!
Idk if it was intentional, but the extra thick crucifix looking like a large player character standing in the fog at 8:00 was a really nice touch
also 13:00, you catch herobrine in the right corner
@@sarahhhthearchitectwhere??
Dude no way i just noticed@@sarahhhthearchitect
@@sarahhhthearchitectyooo how did I not notice that now I’m finna be paranoid recording all my gameplay watching hours of it back frame by frame 😭
@@sarahhhthearchitect bro its a sheep
Not Herobrine appearing off the to yhe side of the screen at 13:00 as you talk about disc 13, scared the hell outta me lol
I feel like I saw something a lot of times I'm not scared because it's probably the creator tryna spook us especially the one at 13:00
am I stupid I can't see it 😂
@@Lunglessyes, you are. Keep looking!
@@Lungless 12:58 far right of the screen
that was a cow
I never believed in Herobrine, but the idea of an invader, an outsider infiltrating your single player offline world is inherently creepy for any game. I feel like all of us have freaked ourselves out wondering what lies in the un-lit sections of the deep caves or around the next tree in a dark forest.
For Dark Souls players that's just a regular Tuesday
The absolute worse feeling.
@@GBlockbreaker I'm surprised that there aren't any urban legends of players getting invaded in offline mode lol
@@jessegauthier6985 because even that is normal in Souls games
@@GBlockbreaker ? I guess you haven't played it lol
Playing old Minecraft as a 9 year old kid in 2011 was the scariest when playing alone down stairs in the family computer room while your whole family is upstairs asleep at night.
I had to play with all lights on and when a cave noise happend i would just leave the world and think it was herobrine
the feeling this game gave me as a little kid I will never forget
When I was 9 I was a scared ass little kid. I wouldn’t even have the bravery to leave my room at night when everyone’s asleep 😂
@@ske1t928OMG LMAO SAME- before I knew what cave noises really were, they scared me so bad it’s not even funny. (Okay it kinda is funny)
YESSS
"They're still down there. Moving between shapes and shadows. Watching, testing, *thinking* . We don't go back to beta, because something in it never left."
This video is really nice. It doesn't feel like you're trying to spook us or anything, it's just normal Minecraft music and gameplay, and just talking about the spooky stuff from the past. It's calming rather than leaving me feeling uneasy.
i remember getting lost in my old world after exploring 1000s of blocks out and i couldn’t find my house; so i just decided to make a new base. about a year ish later i found my old base, and idk the feeling it was just nostalgic and melancholic i guess
edit: this was on xbox360, when i was a stupid kid who didn’t know how to use maps or coords lol
edit edit: ik it was actually 100s of blocks on 360 ver, but i was a dumb stupid kid and it felt like 1000s of blocks
Same happened to my cousin real wtf moment
I second this, I built a whole city that i've been putting years on. Then one day I decided to go and explore very far and was confident in my photographic memory, somehow I lost track and never found it, so I started a new world and never looked back for it..
@@eol251there’s this thing called “coordinates”, have you heard of it?
I remember playing on a world with my cousin back in the Xbox 360 days and he went off and built his own little base on the other side of the world without ever telling me about it and I stumbled across it a couple months later and thought it was herobrine or something lmao
@@eol251that happened to me also
Old minecraft had the feeling of someone was in the world before you if you get what I mean. I always felt like there could be some hidden scary story from past people there that just vanished.
Abandoned mineshafts and strongholds basically imply that. I used to love thinking about the “history” of the Minecraft world
@@dialko2596 that's so true! I was always making up stories in my head because of those and end up freaking myself out
Yeah
Ironically actual ruins being added to the game kinda removes that feeling of some kind of totally erased culture
This is literally the best description of what it felt like
Also i always thought the zombies were dead players since they basically have the same skin as steve and drop items a player would have like ingots and food
It's 9PM, I'm alone in my dorm room (about 10 people in entire building because of winter break), and that sound at the begining of the video made me feel so alone and anxious, I literarly felt goosebumbs. It unlocked that feeling I haven't felt for about 10 years, since I played mc in like 2nd grade.
12:58 had me do a double take, won't lie. Really great video man, love your work!
I once heard someone say that Minecraft was the first ever liminal space horror game, and the reason it worked so well was because it wasn't intended to be.
Halo: Combat Evolved from 2001 mastered the liminal space aesthetic early on. Load up a multiplayer map from that game, completely alone, and it has the same empty, uneasy feeling of an old Minecraft world. I didn’t realize until years later how much those two games influenced my taste in art
@@MorgansTrainClipsdefinitely. My little brother and I used to hunt for the "ghost" that hid in the one multiplayer map that has all the large metal or stone looking obelisks. It's almost set up like a graveyard with these tombstone looking things , easily big enough to hide behind. It has a building on one far corner overlooking and a few little bridges above the stones. We would sware that we had seen something moving between them or just out of sight. Good times.
@@busterbeast999 yes, I know exactly what you’re talking about, I’m pretty sure a few different maps from the first two games had “ghost” rumors online. That’s such an early internet thing, pure childhood innocence
I remember playing Castle miner(basically minecraft ripoff before minecraft came to the 360)late at night and honestly the creepiest feeling i have ever gotten always felt like I was watched and now that is one of my biggest fears being watched (sorry for bad grammar and such I'm tired)
@@joeb0y There is something weird about minecraft rip-offs, isn't there?
At 4:55 you talk about the tunnel that starts 1x3 and ends up 2x2. Herobrine aside, I think it's creepy for a different reason. That tunnel structure is what most people dig for a first-night 'hobbit hole'. A narrow opening followed by a wider utility space. That's the remnant camp of a long-dead player. Their equipment was taken or decayed, and all that's left is the clearly man-made cave
METALLLLL
Damn.
No that's just herobrines graping hole.
I think its even scarier considering the archway hole was a 2x3, its very similar to the tunnel hole
That does scare me even more.. that some other player walked through your world long long ago and his presence completely decayed.. makes me think of what will remain of me and the waves I tried to make in my life, once I’m dead
I love the nostalgia of how you described this feeling. New Minecraft just feels too alive nowadays. Back then, it was just ourselves.... but sometimes, somehow, echoes of someone long gone as well. And when they added structures at first, they were still centered on a sense of lost civilization, like temples, & abandoned mineshafts. The latter of which felt more creepy because sure, even we find traces of times long past now... but only traces of a more modern civilization? When none other is currently found? That increases the sense of loneliness, of wondering if someone might still be out there... & wondering whether we'd be happy or scared to stumble upon them.
There was more mystery to it. Everything about world-gen wasn't known yet. And we never knew what we might find in that game.
...I love that when you made your little hovel, it looked so much like that mysterious "stunted cave" from before. Making the one you found indeed seem like someone had been around there & done the same before you.
(And I'm surprised the play-bar doesn't show a traffic spike at 13:00 😦)
Thank you for this video. The format is so nostalgic, the subject matter is so relatable, & the way you told it felt so sincere & atmospheric. I actually turned the lights off in my room & full-screened it, to be more immersed. It felt creepy but warm at the same time, like scary stories around a campfire in the fall (I guess now I realize how Noelle can find comfort in scary media in Deltarune). Very well done.
I love the atmosphere of this video. It feels just like being on a discord call with a friend while listening to them talk about a weird niche topic. Its strangely comforting.
I remember writing a short story about someone left in this unsettling, empty world. Everything is relatively fine until the protagonist finds out that this world used to be inhabited by someone (discovers an old mineshaft I think) and starts to wonder if he's really all alone in this weird world...
That sounds like the original herobrine vibe, where he's not watching you, he's not fighting you, he's just off somewhere, doing his own thing for you to occasionaly stumble upon.
was it the casey's cave creepypasta ?
@@blockoutenvycattNo, since I have never published it (nor finished). It's also pretty recent
Literally just the lore of minecrap lol.
I wrote one about a guy on a island, was basically me ripping off Robinson Crusoe but with Minecraft stuff. Fun times.
For some reason the creepiest minecraft fact I’ve ever heard is that very very rarely, there’s a game glitch where some caves are just one cave. Repeated exactly over and over beneath the soil. And you could play for years without knowing. I’ve literally no idea why it freaked me out so bad when I first heard it.
I guess on the upside, if you know where the diamonds are in that cave, just dig straight lines and get them all in one go. Iirc there's quite a few seeds like that
There are some seeds that generate repeating structures like caves- and by that I mean the exact same structure can repeat itself forever in the world
@@yahboisquishy5561i had a map with an infinite ravine with 3 diamonds and 2 emeralds each time it looped. I came out of the mining trip with around 3 stacks of diamonds
oh yeah theres abt 274 billion of those seeds lol. tho only like 3000 of them have caves repeat within real meaningful distances
that's really freaky to me too! i think just because it feels so unnatural and non-random in a very random game. it just feels wrong
thank you for the video. im really glad this kind of minecraft content still exists, where people just walk around the world talking about their childhood experiences and whatever comes to their mind, its honestly the only type of minecraft content i still can watch without getting bored. most of todays minecraft content is people doing crazy builds, pvp, or them beating the game and packing it into 15 minutes of fast food content with a very fast paced editing and loud reactions, which made it unwatchable for me, i really miss the oldschool letsplays with unedited footage where youtubers were talking to the viewers like they were that good old friend always available to listen about what happened to you recently, not the obnoxious overreacting pvp god constantly doing voiceover with zero seconds of silence, being afraid that the young audience is going to click off the video.
i hope the slow-paces letsplay era is going to come back. everything new is long forgotten old after all.
Thats why soundtracks are so important in a game (in this case the lack of them) your mind will associate the music with the situation and them create totaly new atmospheres, like the greenhills theme, this track expresses very well the style of sonic's levels, vast, colorful and very active, but when you reverse it the atmosphere changes completely from a joyful childhood game to a disturbing rearrangement of distorted sounds.
When i was younger and would play singleplayer survival, i'd always get this weird feeling of being chased. I'd be getting wood or mining and suddenly feel so much dread and paranoia. It's different now for sure but man it used to scare me lol. Also love your videos
thats why I never play singleplayer lol
@@SearchingThingsOfficiali have no friends to play with so i am stuck playing alone lol. i still get these kinda feelings a little bit in modern Minecraft tbh
It was so scary. Sometimes worse than others
For some reason I get that feeling in almost every single player game (Geometry dash, Mario maker, etc) it’s very unsettling
this was me as a kid, I used to play CZcams in the background so I wouldn't feel so alone
Considering just how eager mojang used to be to run with the Herobrine hype I think it's a shame they never added some kind of fog effect that would creep in occasionally in the mornings
I think that’s for the best , don’t want to have to wash my pants everytime I play minecraft
Ah a fellow Subnautica brother
It would have been a cool thing to add in. Or Herobrine as a whole if it's one of those options you have to turn on when creating the world
fr. It would be calm and cool, or scary and creepy af. I would get off the game the second my paranoia kicked in. But hey, they still updating so we can suggest this update!
Honestly if it wasn't common enough to see it twice on your own playthroughs then it would be interesting.
I am Russian and understood almost nothing, but I continue to watch just for the sake of the atmosphere. It’s strange, but I really love these versions and their vibe, most likely due to the fact that I was just a child, and also because there is so much bad happening in the world that I want to go back to a time when I didn’t even understood, and did not know about horrors like what is happening now, wait, why am I even writing this comment?(google translate)
lol (laughing out loud)
lol (laughing out loud)
Feelings need not be understood with words
its refreshing to just watch a discussion like this instead of all the highly editted content i see on youtube these days.
Good topic and nostalgic calm vibes. nice vid bro
Herobrine, although an urban myth was real in the sense that his presence was tangible. He was the representation of paranoia and fear that came with being alone in what was, at the time, an unknown place, a relatively new frontier. He was like the wendigo or Humbaba or any number of cryptids that stalk people who get lost in the wilderness, who no one had seen for sure but everyone had some kind of story about.
Now that minecraft has been filled in with all manner of features and decorations, and has become completely familiar to those who play it, it feels more like a stroll in our own personal meadow than a venture into a haunted landscape. Now the most visceral part of survival, the vigilance towards genuine predators is basically gone with only the manageable nuisance of the hostile mobs to fill our minds.
Herobrine left long ago and he hasn't been replaced. I kind of want him back.
Yeah.
Old minecraft was incredibly empty but because it was so empty it left everything up to your imagination. The world, it's lore, it's legends, it's inhabitants were all unknown you were bassicly left in a dark labirynth with mysteries and questions behid every corner. This was topped off with a strange and buggy world generation with floating islands, chunk errors, strange and claustrophobic caves, broken cliffs. Low renderdistance due to your old shit computer adding a mysterious fog. The echo-y slow and even to this day disturbing music. Caves full of strange sounds. The audio was crunchy, unrefined. Textures very contrasted and basic.
Simply said the game was liminal, you knew every block, everything that was theoretically in the game but it was incredibly empty and it did not always get put together the way you expected so there was a constant unease.
Modern minecraft is just so damn packed with things, every meter mobs, villages, caves, oceans, monuments, temples etc. It has so much to do, so many blocks, things to build, craft and discover but exactly because of this the game became more "defined", like there is always things to do, you no longer just exist in an empty infinite world without meaning or purpose.
Knowing the origin of Herobrine's story, with all the "White Eyes" phase and stuff, it becomes even more clear how it could've and has developed from the paranoia and weird shit that went on in these older versions
Wonderful, wonderful comment. I loved how you ended with the sentiment of 'I kind of want him back', same here 😂
But I'm afraid he won't. Unless you're 7 years old, unfortunately, the curtain closed on Herobrine long ago.
Even playing 1.8 feels scary when wandering around mountains and caves tbh
I still get this feeling of liminalness when playing even in the new versions of Minecraft. I don’t really like playing without having a podcast on or something, especially when mining.
Looking at some of the weird terrain generation in the older versions, it's clear to see what the main source of fuel for the whole Herobrine myth was. From unexplained 1x2 tunnels, to the infamous "herobrine rooms" in caves, to small sand pyramids, the limited and sometimes broken procedurally built world would create small anomalies that resembled things we the players would do. This gave the illusion that either someone was there before us, or someone was right there with us, watching and waiting for these "hints" to be found.
I agree. The world generation in Minecraft now is beautiful. The terrain back then was way more unsettling, and always gave me uncanny valley. The bugs in the terrain only made it creepier too.
On the topic of 1x2 tunnels, i was playing on a world that was made just last year with friends and we found a 1x2 tunnel about 10 blocks long that turned 90 degrees to the right and went for another 5 blocks. We all went mental and just logged off of the server for the night, sadly we excavated the area for our base so i dont have photos.
I remember seeing a flying island, it wasn’t super big but i wasn’t small either.
So i started thinking that’s not normal, the world is getting corrupted, and i thought he is the source of corruption.
So when ever i saw a “anomaly” in the world i would think herobrine is close by.
I’ve heard of all these other ones but what’s a herobrine room? I’m so curious
@@bias0437I love those kind of things. I remember some of the odd stuff I met, 1x2 tunnels were not extremely rare but would often be very short. I remember seeing stairs going down in 2x2, for about 15 blocks. Or a small square cave with a 1x2 entrance.
I remember being stunned by seeing cobblestone on the surface, before discovering it was a dungeon, I didn’t knew they could generate at the surface.
One thing also was the crosses. You could find mountains with a carved cross on its face. It felt odd.
Okay I think I have to go back on the beta, that stuff was awesome.
This is my first time finding your channel. You seem like a genuine person, and the video was oddly calming. I’ll be watching more of your videos in the future🙌🏼
your filming and narration style is really relaxing, i like how unscripted and casual it feels, like hanging out with a friend in vc
Fun fact, the cave noises in minecraft aren't actually that unrealistic!
They were created by C418 based on actual field recordings, just digitally modified to add a bit of flare. But from what I know (and to be fair I could be wrong here) they're actually pretty close to what some cave noises actually sound like! It's pretty interesting stuff, the way a single loose rock can reverberate throughout a cave system and come out the other end sounding super strange.
That’s really interesting. And spooky!
They were recorded from WW1 in the trenches.

the “sit around the fire and talk” style of this video is so. wonderful. it’s like sitting with a friend on discord and they’re telling you a story while they share their screen. also adds to the creepiness of the video because you show your creeped-outedness candidly

@@blakemcnamara9105bro thinks gamers aren't normal 💀
I really love the atmosphere that the subtle creepy things you mention add to the game. The fog, the lighting, the strange discs, the cave noises. The ancient cities that were (somewhat) recently added are the epitome of scary in Minecraft, but it is such a stark example. The small methods they used in the past were so tiny, almost secret, that they perfectly added to the unsettling background feeling of creepiness in the game.
I just discovered your channel and watched 2 of your videos. First one about why you like older Minecraft more than the new versions, and this one. I just subscribed because I really love the vibe of your videos, it's something you don't see much of on CZcams anymore, just a dude picking up a topic to talk about and ramble on without any detailed script on something that interests you. I love it, it feels very cozy and homey in a way. Ive been listening to both videos while at work and it just makes me feel so... Happy in a way? Idk how to explain it but I'm loving your stuff, keep on doing what you're doing man❤️.
On the modern internet where you get overwhelmed with The sheer amount of information on every corner, this is just something nice and relaxing for a change❤️.
23:51 as a programmer, the first theory makes much more sense to me. early versions of minecraft use the same World object to store information, so it could easily just be a bunch of chunks stored in memory from multiplayer that werent properly cleared. Then when you travel out in your world, those chunks are marked as "already generated", so it doesnt try and replace them with new chunks or load them from disk. Then when the game autosaves, it would overwrite whatever was there previously, meaning it becomes permanent. I think this has more merit, as if it was a singleplayer world they would definitely remember it, and remember building it.
Except people often download single player worlds, one time I downloaded a world and only explored the underground yet doing this loaded the ground above me despite me never seeing it. When i deleted this world titled my world, later i created a world also called my world the same name. Wierdly stuff i loaded from underground on the surface appeared, aka random structures that were apparently above the caves that i never seen because i only explored the caves below appeared. Creepy and cool at same time
@@robo8478 while true, I still am more inclined to believe it’s from a multiplayer world, especially with how terrible the netcode is in the version they are playing. In that version, you only have 5 world slots, and to create a new world you would have to permanently delete an old one. The only way it’d be transferred over in my opinion would be if it was kept in memory during the same play session, so hopping worlds may have caused it, or, loading the world, deleting it, and creating a new one in the same save slot.
Sounds very plausible assuming loaded chunks are actually kept in memory in that version.
@@timeslongpastthe 5 slots thing was gone by b1.7.3
@@shadesoftime the version they are playing in the video is alpha 1.2.0_02, indicated by the version stamp at 21:55
The deleted worlds bleeding through to new ones is 100% true. This was over a decade ago so I can't say for sure what version it was on, but I think it might have even been early Beta. I had been playing on this survival world a lot. Made a nice base I was proud of, then I built this big bridge over a lake. There wasn't anything on the other side so I decided to do some exploring before deciding what to build.
I was in my teens at the time and had already tried to prank my younger brother on at least one occasion into think I had stumbled upon some herobrine/israphel from the yogscast minecraft series structure. I wasn't actually expecting to find mysterious thing I didn't build. But as I moved only a short ways past my bridge some new chunks loaded and there was suddenly a shear cliff/wall dividing the world, like a chunk error. Except I could see torches at the top. And as I got closer I saw wooden structures. This was long before villages were added so I was basically genuinely terrified and nervous to get closer. But I eventually did and found the building stretched on a long ways past the cliff. Eventually I started to recognize the structures and realized it was Broville. Broville was a downloadable map of a city featuring tons of structures built by different people. I had downloaded it and it explored a bit previously. Then deleted it only for it to show up haunting my new world.
If that video isn't fake I'm certain that's what happened.
Same thing happened to me. I was super confused. I was playing a downloaded map and then a piece of another world appeared, it was so weird!
bro said he didnt build it though it couldve been a different glitch
thats a cool ass glitch
I definitely had this happen to me, it was on 1.5.2 if I remember correctly.
And it wasn't just a small part of my old world that appeared in the new one, it was basically a 50/50 split.
well there was this phenomenon about the sun's flare hitting the binary codes on your device
These videos are so fun to me. When Minecraft first came out I was just finishing up college and I mostly just messed around in it while listening to podcasts. I never really got into the community so to speak, and I stopped really playing a little after they added the Nether. I got back into the game about a year ago and all the changes were so incredible, and now finding out about all these creepy theories I’d never heard of honestly gives the early days new context to me.
Dialko, this is such a phenomenal video. Your slowed voice mixed with the calming, almost dreamlike music makes for a very relaxing video. I would love to see this in some new videos! Discussing Minecraft history or other topics mixed with the early Minecraft gameplay could be a really cool niche that I can imagine a lot of people enjoying.
I dont think I ever believed in herobrine but like you I almost wanted it to be. Those uncomfortable feelings you get in games like minecraft is just so unique. Great video!
With the right mods and texture packs, you can but it would take away the feeling of dread and excitement that you had as a kid.
@@mmyr8ado.360i grew up on the xbox one version so I couldn’t do that BUT i always felt like herobrine was out there
I used to make all the summoning shrines when I was a kid there was one time when me and my friend were convinced it worked and we made a fortress of solitude surrounded by lava and we spent the whole night keeping watch for herobrine
I felt the same way as a kid but I decided to look up one of those herobrine shrine tutorials on CZcams and I tried it in a singleplayer creative flat world in a village, but felt rising dread so I destroyed the shrine and walked through the village looking around. After spending a few minutes walking around looking for herobrine, I logged off and when I did, I swore I saw herobrine. I panicked, deleted the world and left my computer out of fear because I thought he would jump out of the screen and kill me or something.
The real world is a creepy, scary place.
Having creepy stuff in non horror games brings a new layer of depth to them, it makes us a bit obsessed with those games, the feeling of having "something out there" is engaging.
Plus, we actually like getting scared when we know we're not really in danger, and in a way, non horror games can be more effective creating creepyness because it's unexpected and it feels a bit out of place, but makes the simulation more grounded in a weird way.
I genuinely believed in herobrine as well as the myth that he was notch’s dead brother
At lunch every day my friend and I would share herobrine stories and talk about the legends we found
SAME. Talking about Herobrine at middle school lunch... those were the days
@@dialko2596 I remember kids saying not to play discs 11 and 13 or else he'd be summoned and I never did out of fear. Even now, they still creep me out.
i went through the similar, good old 2016
I wish all of us could experience something similar again, recreate those days together… Sometimes I feel like Minecraft back then somehow reached peak and then started its downfall by being too overwhelming, it’s like it left us no purpose, no reason to go exploring if we know all about it. Back then the game was all like a giant mystery, a space for everyone to explore and craft their imagination bit by bit steadily by themselves while enjoying the melancholy ambience and being entertained by a slight sense of dread followed by loneliness which we fixed by placing blocks and filling the world with various creations to make it feel like it’s truly ours
My old friend and I would make fake herobrine videos for ourselves to watch lol
I have a theory as to what might have happened in the "I travelled very far in my minecraft world and found a house I didn't build" video
there's a glitch in some beta minecraft versions that for whatever reason loads an exact copy of your world spawn chunk really far out into your world, at powers of two coordinates. and this is not only limited to the terrain generation, every single block that was in the spawn chunk is loaded at x=2^20, 2^21 etc
what's more if you break or place blocks in the cloned chunk, it actually updates your spawn chunk. If you want more info you can probably find out more if you search for "spawn chunk glitch" or something among those lines and even replicate the glitch yourself. there's even an antvenom video about it.
Now what I think might have happened is that, when that player created his world, he built a lil base at his spawn chunk which he then left to make a new one and kinda forgot about it. when he tried the travelling very far out thing I think there is an offchance that he might have run into one of those powers of two glitched chunks. although I don't know how to really conferm or deny this.
I put your videos on all the time to sleep. Your voice is very steady and calming, and your mostly unscripted 'ramblings' feel like a friend telling a bedtime story. Thank you for being you!
7:30 God this story just gave me the coolest yet eeriest idea. SInce herobrine is always hiding in the corners of screenshots like you said, Imagine if there was like a 1% chance that the game was programmed to sneak herobrine into your screenshots whenever you took the screenshot key. He wouldn't actually be in the game, but he might appear in the corner of a screenshot behind a tree. That would be freaky
That would kick ass
That's what I was thinking lol
you can see him in the video at 13:00
@@nikkybearwhere
@@nikkybearomg i just saw
That leftover world data glitch 100% happened, even into Beta 1.8.1 I believe. I remember naming my world something like "Survival in Mountains" and playing for 10 minutes, not really liking the layout, and deciding to remake it with the same name. Not even with the same seed. But lone behold, sometimes I'd easily find my previously built house untouched, as if it were part of the world generation. The items were even still in chests and furnaces.
The same exact thing happened to me twice, once 10 years ago and another earlier this year on minecraft 1.10.2. It was easy to notice because I was playing with mods and the map data and waypoint data from the previous world carried over as well.
@@Ryntra7 Map/Waypoint data definitely carries over bc it saves based on world name, even if it's a different world type lol
@@Ryntra7 It did not happen on 1.10.2 unless you named the world the exact same.
I very vividly remember a world I had where an attempted fireplace went wrong and burned down my house. I was bummed out, losing my work to the then much faster fire spread. I started a new world, wandered for a bit and thought I saw a structure in the mountains, and to my confusion it was the remnants of my burned base. This comment made me think of it, some ten years later
Happened to me aswell deleted a world, made another with the same name and found structures of my old world, same version too
This is one of the most relaxing and nostalgic videos I've seen in a long time. I love how you're just reminiscing on some old minecraft stuff you like and making a few jokes here and there. Lighthearted and wholesome man; I enjoyed this nice little happy place of a video
For me disk 13 will forever be the scariest thing to exist in Minecraft. Every time i hear it it sends chills down my spine. I cant describe the feeling that this disk gives me when i hear it..

at 13:00 you can see herobrine at the right side of the screen
I think not being able to sprint is a big one, it adds a sense of urgency which can trick your brain or contribute/modulate the paranoia from the other factors like the lighting and general emptiness. Also like you said, visiting this old version of Minecraft feels like discovering an old relic in a forgotten part of the world.
This, mixed with the feeling you get in a dream when you can't run, you just walk, you want to run but you can't, it feels so nostalgic
I think the paranoia can be partially attributed to our natural survival instincts. We're used to white noise of some kind most the time, I think, so when it's unnaturally quiet (especially when you're alone), we just get the feeling that something must be wrong. Like, in the wild, you expect to hear animals and such, but if you don't, it might be because a predator scared them all off and said predator could still be lurking around. It's super quiet right before jumpscares in most horror games, isn't it? So, I think that feeling is mostly just our wonky little brains trying to keep us alive. It'd be very interesting to read more about the psychology of it all. It would probably help me improve my horror writing, too.
One of my friends has (or had) a world made specifically for summoning Herobrine. He has all these scientific lab type buildings with the Netherrack towers with torches and all the different variations of the shrine used to summon The Eyeless One. And he claims that once when he was playing home alone, he saw two strange white lights in a forest near his testing area. Creepy.
Old Minecraft was scary but had a romance to it. Seeing 1 dirt block without grass over it was scary as fuc, almost like someone dug himself in so you wouldn’t find him.
Probably sheep ate the grass lol
@@CatIsNotInterestedUh, sheep didn't eat grass until the Adventure Update...
If you want to feel uneasy, just imagine all the worlds that are owned by people who have passed away. Imagine if we could explore all those worlds… some people have family and friends that have gone and can access those leftover worlds, and it must be such an indescribable feeling to walk around in their shadow and see all the things they achieved and experienced.
My brother passed away 2 weeks ago and his server is still online, I guess until the monthly payment to the host is due, it wasn’t played that much and he often complained that I or none of his friends bothered with it. It was griefed by some scumbag over the summer and he didn’t seem bothered when I found out and told him. He never re uploaded a backup so sadly his partially repaired world is still online. I think he burned out from Minecraft (and life,sadly) I wish we had the respawn option.
@@robd1365rest in peace to your brother ❤️
Never even thought of that, I have had a few Survival worlds with an old friend on my xbox 360 who ended up passing a few years back, we'd build in our own areas so I don't even really remember his builds at all. going to have to see if I can find them and explore them.
@@iclyptogood luck with that man
I'm 27 years old and i still play Minecraft, and still get the paranoia and some of the "liminal" horror that i experienced, can be amplified if you:
Started a world with the map seed as "Herobrine"
A: Don't have good armour
B: Don't really have a means to protect yourself
C: Put fog and render distance/graphics to the lowest settings
And D: (Lategame) You have set up a Herobrine spawner, anyone remember those? It's a 3X3 Gold blocks alter with the center of the 3X3 knocked out to place a mossy cobblestone and a lit Netherrack block on top of the mossy cobblestone.
Man even though most of the horror is speculation and the imagination of the unknown, it still strikes a fire in my heart back when i used to play Alpha/Beta.
(Take note, the things i say in my stories, may closely resemble what Dialko mentions in the video, but do keep an open mind, i recommend reading the stories i had below for maximum impact before watching the video, thanks)
*(Story #1)* This is going to sound like the usual cliche horror creepy pasta trope, FYI. but here's some of my uncanny/paranoia experience i had a few years back, In minecraft Alpha/Beta.
There was one single player map i started a few years back, (At least 10 years or so ago)
I went caving and while i was exploring and mining ores, i turned a corner or a fork in the cave system that splits off to the left and right, To the right, in the distance (16 blocks in distance?)
i noticed there was a lit torch on the ground, surrounded by darkness.
I just froze, not moving my character, neither did i avert my gaze away from the torch, cause the realization clouded over me like a blanket, that the fact that i was alone in my world, right?
I think, i just logged off there, but I have a small recollection of getting out of the cave in a blind panic.
(Story #1 SPECULATION TIME)
I searched around a bit on the net at the time, and I might kill the horror that i have instilled in you and or Minecraft as a whole for what i'm about to say.
The speculation is that the Chunks from another saved world, "Copied" and pasted the same blocks/details that were present on the world where i had that creepy torch event.
So in the end it could have been a chunk loading error/map generation error, once i had some form of closure, the horror sort of dwindled away, but i still had my doubts, What IF it wasn't a bug or en error in the map generation code?
The unknown is the one of the main driving factor to the liminal horror in Minecraft.
*You. are alone.*
*No, ARE you alone?*
That was or is probably the scariest thought i had in my mind back at the torch creepy encounter.
I have maybe 1 more creepy story that i have but i don't remember most of the details, so bear with me,
*(story #2)* Some details are a bit patchy so it might seem like a roller coaster of events.
In the recent years Minecraft for the Xbox 360 was released, at the time i played with my sister, and strictly with my sister. (2 player splitscreen)
Went caving with my sister, but i believe i wasn't aware of my footing so i fell maybe (12 blocks or so) to an unlit portion of the cave underneath me.
I scrambled to place a torch on the ground, when i did place a torch, the torch almost immediately got blown out/extinguished like as if someone had broken the torch.
In the darkness almost point blank 1/2 blocks away from me, i saw a white figure just dart right past me, it was almost a flash. but i could tell it was a character model by just a quick glance.
Pan to the view of what my sister was seeing on her end, (And me looking at what she was seeing in the separate split screen) She saw nothing, down where i should have been, no player name tag above my head to note my position.
My sister also told me that she didn't notice a "flash" of a torch being lit on my end, neither the white potential character model i saw that zipped by me, but only the all consuming darkness that she saw.
(Story # 2 SPECULATION TIME)
I think story #2 may have been a monster spawning code error, but an eerie detail was that area i fell into was devoid of monsters, cause if monsters had been there, i would have been blown up by a creeper or at least finished off by another monster, or at least heard the sounds that the monsters make: Skeleton rattling, Spider hissing, Zombie groaning, that sort of thing.
Or water flowing, that might have knocked out my torch.
(Yes i know, the torch and the caves are a recurring theme)
The details are very hazy after that event, i think my sister got so spooked out she quit the game, at the same time i got pier pressured into quitting the game aswell.
The thing that has me on edge is the fact that the Torch that had been broken/blown out was the kicker, still don't know why that happened, maybe client lag?
Client lag: When you place a block and it ceases to be placed, but instead just rewinds the in game events by the moment a block is placed.
This seems like the likely candidate, but the white character model that seemed to zip by me, and my sister not noticing is quite "Odd"
I didn't want this video to end! Such a nice chilled video style
I have been longing for a mod that captures this feeling.
Imagine if there really was a malicious entity inside the game that could genuinely f with your world and try to communicate with you _outside_ of Minecraft. Like re-naming desktop icons or changing the home screen to an image of your Minecraft base that you don't remember taking a screenshot of.
Some real creepy sh** that would make you feel genuinely unsafe.
"From the Fog"
From the Fog is one. It's good, really creepy.
@@SilentBeaver What makes it creepy ?
@@Anzy_M0ti0n_31 If you haven’t played it or seen it yet, it’s quite scary for the first time when you’re alone playing Minecraft. I’d recommend trying it blindly. However if you already have seen it, which I am sure you have…
Herobrine loves to stalk you and watch you from distances. It doesn’t sound scary until it happens to you, and even when you know you very well only put in a mod, it causes some dread. I’m not one to get scared of things easily, like at all, but that mod switched on some sort of primal fear. You can make it worse by letting him crash your game and burn your base and all that if you actually want straight up anxiety about when he’s going to be there, but I’ve never used either options. Anyways, the mod is quite scary. Better when you’re in single player.
@@Anzy_M0ti0n_31 try it, you'll see

I know I'm three months late, but I wanted to say that this is the video that made me subscribe. As a lover of horror and Minecraft, this...eerie campfire-tale video was fantastic.
29:50 Had me giggling. It was not what I expected
One thing that to this day still sends chills down my spine is when i'm mining and start going down a worm-like-cave. I walk and walk, until I go around the corner and find the end of the cave. It's a perfectly symmetrical space of no more than 3x3 blocks. I start to turn around slowly, thinking that "something" in the cave played me, it made me follow this path to a dead end, and now it's behind me.
But then I turn around and there is nothing.
Every now and then this happens to me when I'm mining, obviously there is nothing when I turn around.
At least for now...
I always was freaked out as a kid, and sometimes even now that things are just following me in Minecraft. It just feels like you're being watched.
sometimes i feel a similar way when i come across those oddly perfect circular caves. ive come across a few where your following a small cave- and suddenly it opens up into this like bowl shape thats so symmetrical and perfect you'd swear it was a player who made it that way.
but your loading entirely new chunks- this is a single player world... theres no one on the player list but you.
One of the things I miss from old Minecraft are the mountains, huge, with floating islands around, clouds passing through you while being at the top and gaping dark holes. They gave this strange fantasy atmosphere full of contrast that got me into Minecraft. Wish newer versions where not so curated with the generation and let the seeds go wild from time to time, miss those old Minecraft landscapes
I’ve always loved those kinds of features in the old version of Minecraft, I love playing in amplified as it gives a more nostalgic feel for me
Hybrid beta datapack adds old world generation with new biomes, i really like it
Old Minecraft makes me feel. New Minecraft doesn't. I can't quite say everything it makes me feel, but one of the things I can put into words is that it makes me feel... mortal, in a comforting sense. In current Minecraft, it's too easy for me to just... take over the world and never face any danger.
Hey! Video topic aside, Your castle/base looks amazing. I love the inside and how cozy it looks. Even if it's made out of very few blocks for those times, and block choice was very limited. I like how you made the outside too, the huge bridge in the distance and stuff, cool build man. You built something I would never have and never did in all the years I've played minecraft for, and those would be like 6 or so by now. Ha ha.
I can see You have put lots of effort and time into decoriations.
There was this time where i was playing minecraft as a kid, i was just chilling, exploring the world, the sun was starting to set, and i just find this hole on the ground, i was curious so i decide to enter it, it was a cave, a very weird claustrophobic cave, it had a really unsettling red lighting, and as i explore it i start to get really scared and lost, it reached a point where i got pretty desperate and just closed the game, it really got stuck in my mind, it didn't have any mobs or ore, i felt like i was gonna get stuck there forever

@@stupidmango4036 not sure what you're getting at but my point was that it made me feel old
I think there is 5 important things that make the old minecraft feel creepy/unsafe:
- The old textures looks weird, and "flat", it make the look of minecraft kind of creepy, especially with the old really vibrant grass, it looks off, kind of liminal in some way.
- The fact you can't sprint is also something that make it more creepy
- The old sound design, it's really quiet, and there is not much blocks in the world that make sounds, I mean for example in the modern Minecraft, furnaces crackles when on, it's something completely missing in the old Alpha/Beta versions.
- The old lighting even with the settings set to 100% was way darker than the new Minecraft
- The fog (especially the bedrock fog but also the render distance fog)

That was some of the most traumatic shit I read in my life. Almost forgot about it until I read this comment.
This video has a very nice atmosphere and overall vibe. It's about a topic that usually creeps me out, but the commentary/narration feels as if you're just talking about it with your friend late at night.
honestly man keep up the good videos, feels comfy like hanging out with a friend telling me about a game hes really into.
In my worlds I also like to build things that were supposed to be there prior to me finding them. Idk if that makes sense. I like building things to add lore to the world. Like, someone passed here and built this campsite, or near a shipwreck (in modern versions) I'll build sort of a campsite where the ship crew stayed and tried to survive. I'll also write books as if the people who've been in certain places wrote them. It adds so much to the world.
That sounds fun as hell
same here. MC can be such a great canvas for coming up with lore and worldbuilding
That sounds really cool, I love the chance to explore your world someday. Then I could see all the stories you’ve made.
I would do that in multiplayer servers hahaha
@@scout_424 I might record a video tour of my 1 year world
I will say this about the "the house that i did not build" part of the video. With how deleting files works, the second theory that it is leftovers from previous deleted worlds makes a lot of sense in terms of computer science- since deleting a file, the whole process is just rewriting a file to make it say it is an available space- so possibly due to an older glitch in Minecraft, it wouldn't rewrite the file properly and it would leave over some chunks, and any world save that used the same file as the previously deleted world save, could have those undeleted chunks. Idk, the video could just be a well-faked hoax, but that deleted world save theory makes sense.
I remember coming across something like that when I created a creative world and found one of my old houses and it was really weird and cool
In 1.7.3 repeatedly using the same seed would often cause the world to load with leftovers from previous saves. Sort of became lost knowledge I guess.
@samblackstone3400 oh really? Was unaware of this bug, do you know where i can look into it further?
I honestly wonder if its teh same chunk numbers that do not get overwritten when a world is a certain size. Like what dictates the glitch from happening, you know?
I used to experience this a lot, especially since world saves were more sensitive to data corruption if your game or computer crashed.
I lost my original world a lot due to this and would just restore it by making another with the same seed and hunting down my base.
This worked until one day the world generation was too different or something and I lost it permanently 😢
At least I had a more stable computer after that.

This is a really weird thing to gather from this video but man, you are so extremely likeable. The way you make videos talking to casually just made me so relaxed man, like it just felt like a friend talking to me. Love this shit man
Hi guys, for this video I did a lot more editing than my usual style, but I still tried to keep a relaxed mood. Let me know if you like this or not!
I loved the style of this one
Absolutely great
Especially the use of music! Genuinely made me somewhat emotional in a nostalgic way.
Hey, I've got a question about the gap in the hill at 4:41. Throughout the video, you often dig similar tunnels to put your bed in to skip the night. Is it possible that you dug it ages ago and simply forgot? Or perhaps a friend of yours dug it back when the world was a server?
i love both styles in honesty, also this video.
thank U dman, credit goes to my lovely friend joal.
You legitimately inspire me to play more Minecraft! Thank you for supporting Minecraft in its best forms, I'm excited to play more in my world and expand what I have!
In the middle of your video it suddenly stopped - and what looked like an end card was actually a reminder of CZcams of considering a break from watching. I have never seen this before and I do have to admit that I felt a little spooked - as if I was not "sopoused" to see your video :D
Something I always found a little creepy about cave noises is the one you played as an example, the whistle. Nothing in vanilla Minecraft could make a sound like that, and yet... it makes you feel like just behind the next wall in a cave there could be a ghostly train running through a tunnel.
And the angelic choir, so out of place
I don’t comment often but I just have to express how surprisingly heart warming and moving this whole vibe is to me. It’s a fun feeling to see long-time Minecraft players reminisce about the things that made it so different back then and plenty people do it, but your stories really struck a chord with me. For a moment I really got to relive a forgotten part of my childhood so, thanks a lot for this video.
I feel the exact same way
I think a large part of what makes old minecraft so creepy can be summed up in a few parts.
1) The lighting, it's much darker, and much more hardline, you don't have this smooth lighting like in the modern versions, meaning dark areas get A LOT darker.
2) The world is emptier, modern minecraft has so much detail, from grass on the ground, to creatures to structures, old minecraft doesn't have all that, it's very empty, and that emptiness is unnerving, and I think that is why we get that feeling of being watched, which I am very much feeling rn as I am writing this, and the one structure the game has, is a dungeon, and old delipidated room, with moss, and a monster spawner.
3) The sound design, there's much less sound, music is a lot rarer in old minecraft, so often you are just followed by your own footsteps, or that of creatures, with the occasionally creepy cave noise, and of the 2 music disks, one is creepy.
12:59 look to the right side, neat
I don’t see anything
@@Tez_ODaround the hill area, pause it or something
@@Tez_ODvery far right, you can see Herobrine (人 •͈ᴗ•͈)
@@M00N3CL1SPE Ohh I see it now, thanks y’all
I can't believe you posted this right when I stopped feeling creeped out by Earl in my backyard.
who... who's Earl? O_O
earl sweatshirt
What
Earl doesn't exist, bro.
where is earl now
13:00 you cheeky git lmao
I really like this video. Takes me back to playing minecraft in junior school and talking about these creepypastas with friends. I was CONVINCED that one of my worlds was deleted by Herobrine because I built one of those herobrine shrines in it and after a week or two could never find the world again. Still don't know what happened there. Your chill vibes and voice are nice to listen to as well.

One of the main reasons why games like Minecraft and Garry’s Mod can be so eerie at times is because there are no ambient sounds of wildlife which causes our instincts to tell us that danger is nearby
Tbh if there was sound like wildlife but no source for it (frogs, crickets, cicadas, etc) idk if that's creepier than silence or not
22:30 wow what a blast of nostalgia when it comes to "playground rumors" of minecraft from my childhood, the version of this that I heard as a kid was that there were only so many world seeds and if you got the same one as someone else, you shared the world but of course the worlds were so big so the odds of anyone running into each other was tiny, I do remember fortifying my houses back then to make sure none of my stuff got stolen though LOL awesome vid, thank you
For me, the creepiest thing I ever encountered was on my creative amplified hill house world. I would just go around this world creating variations of the same style house all along the verticallity of one of the first cliff-mountains I found. At one point I starting hearing these sounds that weren't normal cave sounds. They were voices that would say stuff like "kill you" or whatever. I was using resource packs, but nowhere in any of the resource packs were MP3s or references to sound files that the packs could download. Still to this day I haven't figured out where those voice sounds came from, because they definitely were not vanilla sounds, and I believe they persisted across different texture packs.
Holy fuck I actually had this happen to me back in the day!
I’m like 99% certain I have an Audio clip in my old drive in Puerto Rico of one of these occurrences
@@gamingnooblet the fuck ?
@@gamingnooblet would you consider uploading the sounds on your channel? (if you’re able to get/find the drive)
That’s really creepy. Maybe it was a ghost cause ghosts can interfere with technology.
I have a similar story but it happened on my phone. Basically, my phone (iPhone 6) was new and I’ve had it for a week or so. It didn’t have and still doesn’t have any viruses/malware btw. I downloaded CZcams and watched an inside edition video (it was talking about scary insects I think) and when the video started playing, I hear this really horrible human scream coming from my phone. I though it was from the video so I rewind the video but I never heard the sound again. No one in the comments talked about it either. It was really creepy.
Really? Because one day on a old version of minecraft. I went into a mineshaft, And I Swear a heard a minecart move and heard something like that sound you describe.
As a kid, I never really gave Herobrine much thought. Creepy pastas were implanted in my head of course, But as I grew older and more nostalgic for Minecraft... Then I really started to appreciate what kind of legacy he left behind. So much to the point where I made a little thing with my friends. I put them in a world, Put my Herobrine skin on and tried my damn best to be everything he ever could be to me. Following everything in the rulebook that I knew about him. Using sound and block commands to my knowledge. I scared a few of them and it was honestly some of the most fun i've had in Minecraft in a long time. What I wouldn't give for a Herobrine to haunt my world now.
Absolutely loved this video, it brought back old memories of this absolutely amazing game, reminding me of back when I was a wee lad, I remember a survival world where me and my mom were playing and she just randomly got struck by lightning, looking back on it it obviously was just a bug but me and here genuinely thought it was Herobrine and it's fun to look back at dumb kid me and smile, keep up the great work man, and thank you for bringing me back to a part of my childhood I genuinely forgot about :)
ngl, this was the first video i saw from your channel but it was really fun to watch it.
