Creepy and Weird Stuff in Old Minecraft 

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 :/

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.

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 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.

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.

No horror game has ever scared me quite like old Minecraft.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

12:58 had me do a double take, won't lie. Really great video man, love your work!

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 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.

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

29:50 Had me giggling. It was not what I expected

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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...

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

old world gen combined with the old music, cave sounds, low view distance with the fog due to all the limitations both in the game and my very ancient pc, just had this terrifying thing to it but it somehow also just made you feel at peace at the same time. I remember spending nights as a little kid playing Minecraft throughout the night, already having a pretty tough time because of depression. But all of these things together made me just feel like I was in a different special comfy little place, it felt like a reflection of my own mind at the time. In a way Minecraft back then felt really similar to lucid dreaming, there were a lot of things just happening but you still had some control over it. It was a wonderful little time despite my irl troubles.

i loved the way you were just talking not many cuts, no scripts just topics, the stuttering made it feel more authentic.

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

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.

your filming and narration style is really relaxing, i like how unscripted and casual it feels, like hanging out with a friend in vc

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.

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.

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.

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🙌🏼

The disturbing music/noises that pop up at seemingly perfect moments were among many things that made the original Minecraft This is the only game that ever gave me a feeling of pure dread, chills racing through my skin.

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!

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

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

I really hope there's some just, terrifying, ungodly, super messed-up horrifying lore for the discs and cave noises lol. It would make me so happy if it was something completely traumatizing hidden in the game

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.

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.

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.

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..

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

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.

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!

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)

I have not felt this comfy, watching a Minecraft video since like 2016. This was an amazing video for me. The editing, the atmosphere, great work. really appreciate it. Take care❤

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.

Honestly since the Caves & Cliffs update, Minecraft has never felt the same as old school Minecraft

Redstone torches contributed so much to making my worlds creepier when I was young

When I clicked the video I was expecting another video essay about creepy things in minecraft, but all this video from the start, like the whole video, is sooo old styled too. This was the kind of videos everyone was watching in 2011-2015. I love it. Great video. Hello from Ukraine!

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.

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 had no idea about mineshafts until I randomly found one myself and I was very spooked. You can imagine the relief I felt when I looked it up.

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.

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.

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 RU-vid 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❤️.

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.

Dude. The feeling this video gave me is indescribable. Its like nostalgia mixed with happiness and just peace of mind. Idk why but your voice combined with the minecraft sfx and music in the background, as well as how you discussed the topics in a more casual way just made this so enjoyable to me. Thank you :)

the fact it was exactly at 13:00 immediately after you talked about the thirteen record is insanely well timed. this made my day lmao thank you so much for this

This is a really nice video. I don't come upon chill videos like this much anymore. After ten minutes I already subscribed. Excited to watch more

playing minecraft alone for long enough started to feel like you weren’t playing alone

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

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

I didn't want this video to end! Such a nice chilled video style

I like this video a lot, it's more than you just explaining the horror and old Minecraft. It's also you just talking and sharing what you loved. And i love that ❤

This is my favorite type of video in every way -long -nostalgic -Minecraft -old Minecraft -mysterious -unsettling -genuine -humble -raw -a full grown man playing an old version of Minecraft for hours late at night alone -cozy There is just something about videos like this I love. I’m only half way through the video so I might have missed some key points.

I can't believe you posted this right when I stopped feeling creeped out by Earl in my backyard.

I need more content like this. Just roaming around and talking about whatever. It was very nostalgic and enjoyable to listen to. Keep it up!

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.

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...

"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."

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!

At 20:00, you can actually see a silhouette of a player/character creep up from the fog between the two close menu buttons. I remember watching all about this ARG on a video called "Disturbing Minecraft Alpha Footage You’ve Never Seen"

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.

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!

Man, keep this channel up, it’s such a unique fresh breath of air and it’s so good, I’m binge watching your videos up to 5am!

This video really resonates with me. Thank you for making it. Really took a trip down memory lane with the old videos and mention of making a world specifically for hunting Herobrine, getting creeped out for no reason and building defenses.

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.

4:40 reminded me of Junji Ito’s horror story Enigma of Amigara Fault, it’s a story where people discover person-shaped holes in a mountain and are irresistibly drawn to enter the holes that are “made for them”

Your voice is super calming. It feels natural: Like a friend asked you to call them so they could vent their thoughts while you both played Minecraft. I got on Minecraft and just played without a goal during this video's duration.

honestly man keep up the good videos, feels comfy like hanging out with a friend telling me about a game hes really into.

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)

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.

Growing up, I never had friends to play Minecraft with. It was always my favorite game. Kind of the only game I played. I hated school, I hated practically everything except for my Minecraft worlds. I remember the sleepless night where I was either building away in creative mode or on my survival world, fully immersed within the game. I always had fears. The dark, isolation, unknown. And the eeriness of the older versions of Minecraft certainly didn't help. However, that didn't stop me from enjoying the game. I was weirdly fascinated by herobrine and other creepypastas.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

I really like this video a lot because it’s mainly just expressing oneself rather than trying to prove anything. Of course, there are some things mentioned like in the dungeon, but I don’t feel the same way as when other RU-vidrs try to prove that Minecraft is creepy. I’m kind of glad this video isn’t like that. Good job! 👍

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
