Good job
Thank god
Ok
Can’t wait for more Minecraft theories!
What would annoy me the most when having cameras in my survival minecraft world will not be the fact that I am being watched. It would be the fact that the extra chunks loaded will make my game lag.

This video becomes more spooky when you realize in Minecraft 1.3 they changed the single-player client into a multiplayer client private session, basically you're running a private server for yourself and you're supposed to be the only one who can play that server until you choose to open it up and give someone else a link to join, so that's what Mojang did back then, and that What makes this video more spooky.
fr
I am willing to bet a lot of casual minecraft fans don't know this, which makes it even creepier because someone could theoretically breach your private game and watch you.
Yes, but you would need to port-forward to allow other players on different wifi networks to join
that's also why you can now get lag inside of a singleplayer world
@@NumericChaff you'd need to have already fully hacked someone's computer to be able to install a custom minecraft launcher that sends the private server data elsewhere, and i doubt it'd be a good live feed
it's a closed feed server so it's basically impossible for someone to "breach" your game without already having full control of your computer
and to think this all could have been avoided if the players turned off their wifi…
That's what I was thinking LOL
When i turn off my wifi, i still have Internet
Edit: What is wrong with you all? Who is talking about phones? 🤦♂️
Edit II (04.2024): I have LAN (Wired Internet, ethernet)

To be honest this is the first time I've seen a video like this by anyone where it's not just a creepypasta and I'm actually really fascinated by stuff like this and I hope to see more, good job Retro!
not a creepypasta - but an arg, big difference
@@weirdthing729 a creepy pasta is some sort of internet urban legend, whereas an Alternate Reality Game uses the real world to tell a fictive story, sometimes you can interact with it and other times you have the pieces of the story and have to link them together to understand
@@weirdthing729 arg are build to feel like real, but more like a game that you go and discover all by yourself watching the videos in the channel of the creator
@@weirdthing729 i think i said it sarcastically
Yeah
8ball would be 100% justified in DDoSing Minewatch. Hacking into peoples private worlds and networks? Stealing people's CZcams/Google accounts? Constant harassment of players? If any of this was real, they'd be #1 on the Minecraft community's shit list.
You realize none of this is real right? For example, the snooper setting used to 'set up' a camera, hasn't been a setting for over 5 years but it's still an 'ongoing mystery'

I think those admin sirens should be put through a styerograph (the thing that makes images from sounds). They feel like it could be something.

@@hexateron Too bad. They could have probably hide some secret lore there
Same thoughts!
It's actually so surreal to see a Minewatch analysis, it's definitely gotten a glowup over the last year. It went from liked to hated to beloved, and I've been waiting for it to truly get its day, which has finally come. Good analysis Retro!
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyuuuuuuuuuuuu
Bro what are you talking about? How can you hate/like/love a website that doesn't even exist
ok so basically a few friends and I have been following the Minewatch webseries for over a year now, and it went from being liked to really hated in the webseries community, but now its bounced back to being pretty well appreciated
@@stardestroyer43 🤗🤗🤗🤗
@@JackInTheBoxCheeseburger it hasnt been shut down because there was no website
The start scared the shit out of me because when I was a kid I played a horror map where at the start it said "you feel like somebody is watching you." and that made me feel like I'm being watched for a LONG time... This is creeping me tf out...
good times back then :D
That was me the first time Terraria had the Eye's warning message about being watched. I noped out of the game for a few days.
@@tomclanys You feel an evil presence watching over you.
@@Blanksus. bahahahaha
I had something similar, but it was when I broke a purple orb thing in Terraria back in 2014 or so as a kid. The phrase "You feel a chill down your spine" somehow made me feel it as well, probably because I haven't seen text appear so far.
I got a cool gun from it though so yay
To lighten the tone of this ARG-esque thing, I would like to imagine that considering that "snooper" has to be on for these cameras to setup is funny because it suggests that Mojang themselves is behind this especially considering all the controversy when versions of 1.19 released with chat reporting and the whole thing about Mojang banning accounts from multiplayer AND singleplayer. It makes it look like they're watching everything you do so they can ban you if you do something that the mob would flame them for, lol
The feeling of being watched actually is when your unconscious mind has seen something else’s eyes in your peripheral vision before you even realize it. Basically it means you’ve already spotted what’s watching you subconsciously and you haven’t noticed it in your conscience mind
Edit: it more has to do with the fact that our subconscious brain can recognize patterns quicker than our conscious (our normal vision) can. It’s kinda like a fight or flight response. We notice we are being watched and it keeps us on our guard. And it’s less of a paranormal thing and more of a survival thing
That... is even scarier. LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN, HAVE I JUST SEEN THE EYES OF A FRICKING GHOST??? AND NOT NOTICED??????
Source?
@@kalebisalwaysright That doesn’t give me an answer. I’m also not asking what causes it. again, i’m only asking for a source for the commenter’s claim. Also, how is another being’s eyes being in your peripheral vision, that you actually are being watched, a common theory for a cause of that feeling? That’s incredibly ridiculous, which was the reason for why I asked for a source in the first place.
whenever i feel like im being watched i always find a person watching me which makes logical sense
Interesting...
i readed a book about unconcious mind.
Honestly, if that was a real mod it would be very successful.
i wish it was
@@almostcompletelyrandomcontent stalking on little random kids lol

@@thesabber Obviously, the mod should have a very clear and impossible to miss warning in case it's hidden in a modpack
We doin' a little stalking on little kids
i kinda like how this isn't set all the way back in 2009 like most minecraft args. at least its different and more related to our current times
although this is basically minecraft marble hornets
Most Minecraft ARGs are actually set in 2011 and 2012.
I cannot believe the unbelievably dread inducing and mysterious introduction on this video, on a minecraft video of all things. You really capture the feelings of horror without a insultingly dark subject matter.
Long story short: Never enable Minecraft telemetry options
I am going to enable Minecraft telemetry options
@@BMP2U you will act as human sacrifices for our lord and saviour
@@liminalityy_fuck yeah
i don't anyway, sooo
I am going to enable real-life telemetry options
It's so crazy watching the whole timeline of Minewatch, from it's inception in July 2022 to this eventual video one year later. It was a blast trying to investigate this series throughout it's stagnation, hiatus, and now it's explosive rise. Thank you for making a video on this channel, RGN!
The concept of the minewatch website is interesting, but i feel it would be better if the ARG only included the recordings of the site showing different worlds. A lot of these though turn into an elaborate story where the person making the videos is targeted by the entity or admins and they become more distressed while writing about it in detail and then eventually encountering them in thir world. I remember another ARG involving many admins coming after the uploader as well. Keeping these simple makes these better rather than becoming a conspiracy where everything is connected with spoopy messages and becoming the same thing as other ARGs.
Yeah like the concept is creepy enough lol you don't need to ham it up
^
I cant remember which one it was but the one with the aliens really disappointed me, the ARGs that feel more real are way more effective
@@ponygrrrlwas it the one with moonbase delta and dont trust anything red?
@@HungerGamesFan88 Ugh that one had such good potential but I didn't like the end of it. I hope at least the creator was satisfied with the end, 'cause I wasn't
the scary thing is that this can totally be real, Minecraft's Singleplayer feature already hosts a server but other players are not allowed to join, I don't know if the telemetry options can enable that, but if so, this could totally happen, combine Coppenheimer (bot that joins random servers and also found servers like the dreamsmp and hermitcraft and so on) and that exploit, then that can stream the perspective of the camera player, intriguing.
Singleplayer hosts a local server
No, it couldn't be real. Unless there was malware that modified or replaced your .jar. Which would be dumb because they could make more money for less effort by exploiting webcams.
And telemetry options definitely would not do that. You're sending tiny bits of mostly-technical data at a very infrequent rate (probably once per session).
@@Unicarn5279 Sure it isn't real, but it can be.
@@arandomguythatdoesntpost Technically yes (never say never when it comes to software exploitation), but it'd be extremely unlikely and frankly stupid.
And the game's server-client architecture still is not a factor in this.
@@Unicarn5279 If the game considers a client as a player immediately as they connect and dont allow movement, then maybe it wouldn't be possible, I have not researched minecraft's netcode though, feel free to experiment.
Whether its minecraft ARG's or lore deep dives, I love your way if telling stories. Anytime you upload it makes my day better. Thank you RGN!
Damn kinda sad you didn't get pinned *START A RIP CHAIN BELOE*

Minecraft horror videos are like drugs, when you watch one you can’t stop
True
I love watching drugs
@@clqude
Yeah, but some are kind of boring to watch.
@@mollthecoder unless you’re high on psilocybin and watching drugs at the same time
@@clqude Oh no - you don't touch the drugs. Just look.
I think one thing that makes minecraft so great for horror aspects is it’s friendly and easy going nature. The game has a very wholesome vibe and pretty surface level, until you hear certain cave sounds, a mob that looks too creepy or weird ruins. Your mind starts to race as you think there could be something deeper in the game itself. I remember I was exploring a forest area and I heard these chains or some very loud creaking noises as I stared into the foggy distant skybox, wondering what could those chains be withholding
At this point you’re literally the Nexpo of Minecraft content and it’s amazing.. Keep up the great work.
i was literally thinking that when watching
Nah if this was a Nexpo video it would last 1 hour and there would be an obnoxiously long pause between each sentence
more like lemmino
@@jimym__ TRUE
@@marcovalentini863hop off Nexpo
Man just from the editing alone I can see how far you've come on this channel! Good work, Retro!
Yeah way to go!
this is the only arg i actively question myself on if its a real thing or not
Me too
seems to be inspired by project copenheimer (private program which pings and finds lots of minecraft servers)
It’s probably fake, but it would be cool if it could somehow be made into a mod (user signs some kind of agreement, and can place camera blocks which livestream to a website)
@@-FutureTaken- imagine if it was real but worked because it was... lets say large scale hack. and their goal while unknown could be to terrify others while also stealing accounts or info. though if it was real Minecraft themselves would probably get involved and shut it down.
@@-FutureTaken- wdym probably, surely
Ever since I started playing Minecraft back in 2011.. I have always had this feeling everytime I play in singleplayer.
Is it real
@@happyman6271 It isn’t, don’t worry!
And, even if it was, it would’ve been shut down REAL fast by the authorities..I hope.
Same
Sometimes real but obscure topics can be even scarier than most creepypastas.
This real site gives me more of an eerie and musterious vibe than most minecraft urban legends.
The site's not real, though.
@@ryan-levy it seems very real though, u can go to the website too
@@sandrahughes1004 ...except that website is just a parked page owned by Namecheap, with no actual content of any sort on it.
yeah how can a website that doesn't exist be scary
@@stardestroyer43 it's still more believable than those fake "Anti-piracy" screens they make of the game.
That admin login sound is actually that one SpongeBob episode where he and Patrick find a sliding whistle
10:50 I thought that was a villager trading hall?
11:10 Minewatch sounds like spyware.
Maybe the "bugs" are related the player's malware-protection kickeing-in, and atempting to block the feed from going out?
On the singleplayer worlds, it could also be the players internet being spotty, or being deliberatly disconnected.
Antimalware wouldn't kick in at random times. It simply would not allow it to be run in the first place.
It's not real
@@smoothbraindetainerdoesn’t mean people can’t speculate on the ARG
this is either the most insane ARG that's yet to fully unfold or this is a real life creepypasta
RetroGamingNow: " *Have you ever felt like your being watched?* "
Me home alone:
*RIGHT NOW YES*
the editing on this video is legit insane all the 3d graphics really sell the style
Bruh the high pitch ring throughout the vid killed my ears
Those beeps felt like morse code, with shorter and longer beeps, but I couldn't decode anything from them. If anyone has any ideas do call them out
Also I could hear something that sounded like garbled voices in the admin siren sounds, if anyone could potentially fix those up that would also be great
every video you make is a must watch for me, youre honestly one of my favorite youtubers even tho I dontplay minecraft anymore
If this concept could be real, and be given permission from the servers being used, this concept could be a cool idea for a massive cross-server scavenger hunt. Having people having to figure out not only which popular server the cameras are being used on, but the exact location would be a ton of fun. Imagine hiding one a long way out in 2b2t. Could even use the Minecraft@Home technology for some really difficult ones.
The slide whistle bleeps made my day lmao😂
lol
whooooaow
God, this hits home and not in a good way. I had a hacker infiltrating my Minecraft world on bedrock. It was a stranger and the world was set to invite only. They began calling me fat and adressing me by my real name. They even revealed exactly where i live. It was fucking terrifying and made me really worried that theyd do something do my game, account or even computer. That was also the day i decided to get a vpn to at least make it harder for such creeps to get my adress.
thats so scary, how do they even access your private minecraft world?
@@Jesuslovesyou326 I genuinely don't know. In bedrock edition you can make a world multiplayer anytime you want and I had it set to where only people I invited could join. I'm guessing they tinkered around with the code that determines whether or not you can join. It's still scary tho
i subbed yesterday with notifs on thinking 'oh if he does end up uploading a long video essay i can watch while drawing sometime in the future i'll know' and then you upload TODAY??? what a treat, can't wait to watch this!!
the production quality on this video is amazing, I love the effects and transitions.
Great video i love the aspect ratio feels like im watching an older film love when people dont just go for tha basics great work man earned a new sub👍
I love this videos! It, in a way, gives me nostalgia to old creepypasta Minecraft videos. They are lost to time, no more good ones are made, except this guy! You make the best old looking creepypastas that I would get scared as a kid. This is really entertaining to watch!
The author of the video said that the text of the second sound is illegible, but this is not so. It says in Russian: “To log into the admin account, you need to activate the lever in the outermost stone house.”
i love this, its so cryptic but not like overly in your face scary its those chills you think about when your alone or something
this video feels haunting and comforting at the same time
Your content is awesome
really well done, polished and entertaining to watch
Great video man.👍👍. I love your minecraft mystery videos. Ive been here since the old root video.
Damn this video is cozy and cool. Thank you so much! Top notch content!
This is a very interesting mystery, I enjoy your editing style and story telling
“Have you ever felt like you are being watched?” Great thing to hear when you’re all alone, it’s raining outside and you’re playing Minecraft😃
I remember one of those recordings; it's something made by machine that was supposedly allowing to hear voices of the dead (it works on the fact that your brains tries to correct distorted human voices leading to illusion of hearing somebody speak).
in a way this reminds me of those things from the game atomic heart where you can talk to dead bodies huh
8:11
The feeling of us watching them, being flipped back onto us as they look directly into the camera genuinely unnerved me
The fact they keep dancing to no music is even more unnerving
It's really funny that the player keeps dancing while the disc is cut off
I really like the style you went on taking for this video!
This is the most anxiety inducing Minecraft video I've ever watched and I love it
These are very interesting explanations on these type of videos. Continue with what you do and always have a wonderful day. Keep up the good work as well 👍
Agreed
The production value here is top notch
I am REALLY LOVING this retro VHS style! Keep it up!
I like how this entire video is in the VHS aspect ratio, love it
I just love this videos, but at the same time I am very nostalgic to the deep dives, I hope you make something cool with that, now that we have 1.20
Your video making and editing skills just keep getting better and better.
I love all your vids so much, there are so well made and interesting
I love these videos, but they always put me so on edge
Another banger video as always RGN.
Production quality is too good lol
TBH, as a Minecrafter who is also a big fan of motion graphics, I love the fact that most of the logos in this video are based on real life home video logos.
Love the editing and transitions on this
10:30 I immediately recognized those lyrics. We literally went to a concert where Gazebo was just yesterday. The level of coincidence is crazy
This is actually a really cool concept. I always like what I do to have a point to it, so a website like this would’ve been great for me to record what I do
If you have an Nvidia driver, GeForce lets you record back 30 minutes of what you just did so that already exists
I love the transitions. Such a underrated channel

This honestly makes me hope you review scary Minecraft mods someday!

@@ZippoGuyI think it's refering to knowing for certain that you're not alone, but not being able to see who or what exactly is following you.

Worth the wait!! I’m excited for the next one!! 👍👍
The aesthetics on this video are so good! It's always an absolute treat to have a new RGN video.
Any odd audio (like the one from the admin login) that can't be explained needs to get put into a spectograph
Love how you used transitions inspired by cheap 80s home video logos, it really adds to the seedy atmosphere of the subject
"The Minecraft website that watches you: Perfect for Minecrafters Kids and Adults, Top Builder Ideas, Guide Book, Graphic Novels"
this reminds me of those old camera blocks from mobile, or bedrock, or whatever edition they were in
This editing is amazing
the feeling of being watched never fully went away for me, playing singleplayer, but i eventually stopped feeling creeped out. i started leaving signs, talking in chat and doing certain things specifically for my imaginary spectator and the feeling became more comforting than scary.
This is really really cool, I've heard about it on the server a few times but watching it makes me intrigued and can't wait for more from MineWatch!
Also just as a side question, there are many parts in the video where your voice feels forced/AI like, was this AI or am I just hearing things?
Nah i heard the ai too, it seems he replaces parts which he didnt like with an ai version of his voice to make it sound better
At some points like 15:10 he does sound different but I think he is using a more forced voice to separate between his own narrative and quotes from the actual ARG like 15:10. He could have used an AI for this but it seems like a filter.
AI voices are getting good though, on my channel I had a few people who thought my real voice was an AI so on April 1st I "confessed" as a joke using my real voice saying I was an AI. This backfired when people actually believed it.
@@iglide he put a high-pass filter on his voice
Wonder if those weird warbling noises would show something in a spectrogram? Idk, that was my first thought when I heard them
probably pitch alignment guides. It could help the clarity of the underlying voices...
what in the world. this is amazing, great video thank you!!
This is so good made!, I’m hooked
It is a good day when RetroGamingNow uploads.
You know it is a good video when it is made by this guy!
always love when you upload keep it up!!
I just love the analog vibe of this!
This is a fantastically creepy idea. One of the whole pulls of old Minecraft is the openess and the loneliness. Introducing a watcher is like introducing a nightmare to a young 9 year old me, a few hours after my bedtime, hunched up late playing “singleplayer.”
My paranioa kicked in from the start cant have fun without being watched lol❤
Tbh I wouldn’t mind being watched.I have always wanted a way to document everything I do in my world and this website would be doing it for me.
There’s no way this isn’t an ARG. I love this man. It’s so good.
This video is so well made
He's back, yall! Hey, Retro! I have an idea, Do a Minecraft theory on abandoned villages, or dungeons
the first couple minutes reminds me of those sites that let you watch random cameras and webcams across the world, minewatch resembles it a lot
wtf!!! I didn't expect to see my friend Hypah cameo at 6:05 ! He never told me about Minewatch
