      I'm pretty sure the operating system's OOM killer should kick in before a full system crash but it could also just be Windows couldn't be fucked to do things properly, wouldn't be a first
      I think old Minecraft versions just really rub some GPU drivers the wrong way tho, a friend of mine had constant system crashes when playing Minecraft versions that ran on Java 8 because it somehow rubbed the Nvidia driver the wrong way (I had no issues on the Intel and AMD GPUs I had on hand)
      so while it's plausible that the system ran out of memory, it's also possible (and more likely assuming Windows has an OOM killer that kicks in properly) that the GPU driver had a stroke trying to render it and it and when Windows saw the driver crash it blue screened to prevent the system from running in a broken state

      This sounds completely plausible.

      The sequence of events is probably:
      -zombie clusters spawned because of the version weirdness discussed in this video (A and B)
      -zombie clusters dispersed for some reason (C)
      -zombies died in sunlight (D)
      But because beta minecraft was glitchy, zombies got turned into cows when the world is reloaded.

    The number E represents entity counts, the first number is the number being rendered at once, and the second number is the total the *client* is aware of. At 9:55 that is 22 thousand cows. As others have stated, there used to be a bug where entities spawned under certain conditions did not count towards the mob count. Minecraft always tries to aggressively maintain around 70 hostile mobs (probably different in older versions.) So it would spawn a batch of creepers, the hostile mob count wouldn't increase, so it would spawn more later.
    At some point either through save corruption or update corruption the entity ID for these creepers got set to cows. I assume cows is probably the fail-safe ID for conversion of entities. The intense lag you feel is minecraft trying to calculate very very long ticks, trying to process entity collusion. This is why watchdog was later implemented forcing ticks to be limited to a maximum length of ticks.
    Funny enough, MCEdit would easily fix this, as it has the ability to delete entities in mass. I experienced a similar issue on one of the first servers I hosted. instead of creepers it was squids. A single chunk was multiple megabytes of squid.
    Entities used to also be saved at whole number positions which would often cause them to clip into fences and thus be able to break out of pens. This bug took many many tries to fix, and is probably still not fully fixed to this day.

    • @yogfan1139
      @yogfan1139 Před 3 měsíci +36

      cows are the failsafe i think... Ive seen this happen before when i used to play beta mc. especially one time when the power went out as i was saving and exiting because i was worried of the very thing that happened. nonetheless this is also very easy to see as is they had a zombie megainvasion then a creeper one the two entities would both get turned into one mob should data for said mob not be able to be found or was corrupted as a failsafe.

      It's possible that it was zombies instead of creepers because of the chat log saying it was a zombie apocalypse and that zombies used to drop feathers on death. So it's possible that zombies spawned on 1 block and lagged the game, and after an update it turned into cows, then another update reverts them back to zombies and they all died because of daylight.

    I thought this was going to be some generic ARG, but that was actually really interesting. You definitely missed some huge aspects of it though. One of the biggest glitches that happened here was the strange "mob conversion", for lack of a better term.
    We see this in the written story (creepers turning to cows), but without the later evidence that just seems like a lie like the quartz structure. However, in save D there were feathers at all the locations of the cows, and at that point in time there were chat logs about a "zombie apocalypse" and zombies everywhere. Here's the kicker; in Beta 1.3 zombies dropped feathers. Given this, what happened now makes a little more sense:
    The corrupted world generated a massive amount of creepers, which then either converted to cows or despawned (since the cows were all stacked together at first, I believe the cows spawned separately after the creepers). The cows then lagged out the server quite a bit, and eventually unpacked. Then the final glitch happened; the cows converted to zombies (what was mentioned in the chat logs), and the zombies all burned in the sun and dropped feathers, shortly before Save D occurred.
    And the last thing; given this was some kid in 2011, the PC used at the time was probably horrible even by their standards. I find it hard to believe the PC wouldn't bluescreen near all those cows.

    Reminds me of a bug I had on my creative world.
    The nether and the end doesn't exist in my world despite me going there in creative mode many times before. Even custom dimensions with datapacks I could enter, but the two vanilla dimensions were a no go. In fact the terrain is still saved and could theoretically be accessed, I was wondering how it happened and it intrigued me. It was a caused by a game breaking bug.
    The cause of it was due to the of the prerelease snapshots for saves and cliff part 1 corrupting the world generation file, causing it to be wiped and be blanked, minecraft at least tried to alleviate the problem by loading the last set of settings used or try to generate a new set of settings, but even that failed, possibly being a custom superflat world, or messed with datapacks. The world was impossible to open, 5 years and it was gone, but I never deleted it, because maybe when caves and cliffs part 1 fully came out, it would fix the bug with it's upgrade features. When it did nothing happened, it kept showing the error that the map generations settings have failed to load and gave me to option to 'disable the data pack' or go back to title. Since it was an actual vanilla minecraft issue, clicking the 'disable the data pack' button didn't do anything and it kept showing the error since there wasn't a datapack to disable to begin with.
    I was somewhat distraught, I had some good redstone stuff I made and command block things, as well as pixel art and random buildings I've created, but it was all for naught.
    When caves and cliffs part 2 came out, it strangely fixed the bug, the world was able to load without showing the error screen.
    However when I tried to enter the nether and the end neither portal worked. I fell right through the end portal, and the nether portal never transported me no matter how long I waited, not even in creative mode. So while i can now reenter my world it was only the overworld. I checked the reason and it was because the game only 'upgraded' the overworld to the newer overworld height, so it generated the relevant JSON data tags associated with such a change and it was a superflat void world just like before somehow 'fixing' the overworld.
    When I checked the generation settings the nether and end were not included in the map generation settings at all. They are still blanked out to this day.
    Funny enough I could 'manually' re-add the Nether and End via a datapack and could get them back again, but it was a silly bug regardless.
    And please, always backup your saves. That was the ONE time I didn't backup a save and nearly wiped a world.

    Yahoo, Retro is back! And what a fun little mystery to unravel indeed; I think you said this once in a previous video, but it seems that a big part of the mystery of early Minecraft creepypastas is no longer possible to recreate due to our understanding of bugs. Inexplicable occurrences, such as chunk errors or mob spawning issues, would have been strange and frightening to young and/or inexperienced players, who would have blamed them on supernatural phenomena. Additionally, Minecraft itself was a new game then, lending more credibility to the mystery. Now, we can simply attribute these things to incompatibilities between updates and corrupted data. The naivete is gone. But hey, at least we still have these leftover gems to explore, and we can suspend our disbelief with ARGs and relive the romance of the haunted Minecraft world. Thank you so much for uploading!

    The main thing you left out here is why did the cows seemingly originate as zombies towards the beginning of Brabantia C, and then turn back into them by the start of Brabantia D? Clearly the "zombie apocalypse" in C followed by thousands of feathers (zombie drop assumedly from them burning in the daylight) a week later alludes to the cows instead having been zombies at 2 seperate periods in time.

A villain showed up and I escaped the hotel. When I came back, there was an obscene amount of Minecraft mobs (Before this, Minecraft was not involved whatsoever). Most of the mobs were Zombies but some were Creepers as well. I could barely walk without taking damage because of the severe density of the hoard within the hotel.

    @Terrifyger Před měsícem +1

    This is interesting to me because it reminds me of an incident that me and my younger sister experienced when we were children. We were playing on a LAN survival world, and we had set up our homes at an NPC village. One day, when we got onto the LAN server, we found that there were pigs EVERYWHERE. We don't know what had happened to cause them, and yet, they were there. We couldn't even go up close to them to kill them because our games lagged to such a degree that it was unplayable (our computer systems back then were really crappy). So we resorted to going into Creative mode and shooting them with arrows, and eventually, I got the idea to drop Splash Potions of Harming II on them from above. We did kill them all in the end, and there was XP and raw pork littered all over the ground. Our games still lagged like crazy when we tried to collect any of it, though, just due to the sheer amount of them clustered all over the place in a 30-block radius.
    At the time, we had thought that Herobrine had done it. Especially considering how, while we were trying to kill the pigs, there were a few times where we died (to hostile mobs or something, I can't remember), and every time we died, a message came up in the chat that said "Ouch. That looked like it hurt." We thought it was Herobrine taunting us, so we were sending messages in the chat, yelling at Herobrine to go away and leave us alone. Looking back on this incident now, I know that it was likely just a glitch or bug, but us thinking that Herobrine was the cause of it is honestly pretty funny to me.

    I remember one of our own old servers. Back in the Tekkit days when it was big as a modpack (one of the first bigger ones afterall). At one point at sheer and utter random, we noticed how slowly but surely, blocks like random fricking blocks, started to vanish. And not as in "was mined by a player" but literally infront of our eyes with nothing else happening. It felt like the world was corrupted and breaking all around us. I was sitting in my base, going hard with Redstone and whatever that redstone specific mod was called that let you make proper gate ways (I think Project Red but I am not sure) and thats when I first noticed it.
    A basalt brick was randomly gone when just moments before it was still there. At first I didnt think much of it cause it felt odd but maybe it was always gone. Wouldnt put it past me to not fill something in proper. But then over the next few weeks I noticed it more and more and when I asked the others that I played with they slowly started to realize it was happening to them as well. We wanted to move our stuff to a side server we created and it just happened more and more and more as time passed by, we needed to move all our things quickly or else it felt like the world was literally devouring everything. It actually felt like the world was ending. Super creepy.

      Have you watched towards the end of the video? Most likely real, but we don't know for sure, it's unclear.

      ​@@VoltigeurGTcould be a bug. Idk if its true but i had a friend who had the same problems after he switched versions (just not the structure) and it could not stop spawning entities lagging and crashing the server and client

      @309electronics5 It's certainly not impossible. Now mind you, while the credibility is unclear, I personally do believe that what this video tells us is real. I played minecraft around 2012-2014 and over that time I was met with various bugs due to version changes myself. Not this one in particular, but I don't doubt something like this was possible, especially back in the day in the early versions.

    I’ve seen something very similar previously where a server with the dimension doors mod installed developed an infection that transcended raw chunk and entity data.
    In a region where the dimensional knife was particularly abused that part of the map slowly became irreparably damaged and started naturally spawning unstable rifts, enderman swarms that remained during daylight and random structures each time the chunk was loaded.
    Multiple attempts at quarantining the infected chunks were attempted including purging the chunk data entirely and replacing it with void but the infection remained, additionally the affliction began to slowly spread to previously unaffected regions
    I think the map was eventually deleted entirely but it was my real brush with the uncanny in minecraft

    I spent about a day examining this between Beta 1.3 itself, other versions, MCEdit, and NBTExplorer. I've determined the Cows are merely only a symptom, not the issue itself. There were four chunks that were seemingly corrupted, though for whatever reason they worked fine in Beta 1.6 and onward. I deleted and filled the four aforementioned corrupted chunks with Dirt Flatlands in MCEdit, and the world then on worked just fine. That all being said, I wonder what even caused any of this in the first place.
    Edit: Forgot to mention I did this to the aforementioned "Brabantia B" version of the world, I'm overall curious as to how it all happened, because funnily enough if they waited a few months, the issue would've went away on it's own.
