Exploring Minecraft's Lost Media 

I can hardly believe the herobrine stream had been lost; I saw it years ago on youtube when I was a kid. It's a weird feeling now knowing I've seen something that, likely, no one will ever see again

dude really put the instrumental to zombies on your lawn thinking people wouldn't notice

Just gonna throw it here. Jerma used to stream minecraft on youtube live early on his youtube character, but they're currently lost today. There is also scaretheater's videos about Casey's cave that are lost, among just a few i know youtubers whose content related to minecraft are lost.

Im not sure if this counts as lost media or not because we never truly had it in the first place, but all the dev builds of minecraft that have things that simply were never released are really interesting. For example colored planks were gonna be in the game at one point, and also the quiver was teased to return in 1.9 with new inventory slots and everything.

Can I just compliment you on your thumbnail? It hits all my dopamine spots. I genuinely couldn't not click on the video, keep up your thumbnail game and you'll do very well.

I miss the free multiplayer sooo much, it's one thing I miss that almost none of my friends remember. I'm trying to remember what the games were, there was like a zombie one

This video really stands out compared to the lifeless stuff my recommended page keeps spitting at me, great job! It’s simple, to the point, really well edited, what more could you ask for?

Love your sound choices man that got me hooked on good job <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="447">7:27</a>

I remember several Minecraft-related videos I can't find on RU-vid anymore, many presumably having gone lost

Finally Evil-Ville's castle has been acknowledged by someone :O. I'm still trying to find a copy of it but I hope that it's still out there somewhere.

I saw one of ur videos on a discord channel. Now I actually like them. Your going to be big!

You dont seem to fully grasp the term "lost media" since lot of these are not lost.

There used to be a series on RU-vid called "the bedrock angel" it was like the yogscasts "shadows of israphel" series and had a decent amount of episodes, I only remember the first video being a showcase of creative mode because it came out around that time and he eventually dug straight down to bedrock and broke it, he then fell into a dark room made from bedrock and saw some guy with a skin on pretending to be the so called bedrock angel I have looked all over and couldn't even find a single mention of this series on the internet or anybody that remembers it

you cannot just play nintendogs music and expect me not to cry. You just unlocked a lost memory for me.

I just started the video and just wanted to say great choice of music at the start. I play 3008 on Roblox more than I should and the Friday theme slaps. Also I noticed a lot of comments commending your music choice. Keep up that good work and personal touch bro

There was this one video from long ago that I remember watching, it was titled like "Welcome to Minecraft" or something like that. I remember very clearly the person in that video going into a fountain and entering a secret room. I haven't seen that video since.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="466">7:46</a> Ironically Sky turned out more than a smoker, he turned out to be a crackhead.

I have my own version of Minecraft lost media regarding a survival map, but all I remember was that the map was made somewhere around 2014-2017, and was set on an island surrounded by a huge jungle, the spawn was in the middle of the jungle and it had rivers running through it surrounded by tall trees, an old rope bridge that spanned over a sinkhole in the jungle, a giant ancient gate in the middle with a dungeon inside and a grassy roof that was a garden, and mountain ranges with waterfalls that lead to a giant river and a giant stone tower on an island in said river, the entire island was also surrounded by a giant circular waterfall like the one in the Battlefield stage in Smash. So far I can't find the exact map since there's hundreds of tropical island survival maps on Planet Minecraft and the forums

oh hell yeah you know a video's gonna be good when it starts off with 3008 music

the fact that Copeland went out of his way to find the world on his old pc is awesome. Hopefully somone has a screen recording of the stream just sitting on their old hard drives somewhere.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="467">7:47</a> this song in the backround is preety nostalgic bc im roblox player so its a bit nostalgic Bc i remember when this was like anti copyrighted music bc roblox in like 2017 or idk replaced copyrighted music with these like musics that i hear in the backround rn

Anyone saw that split second herobrine thingy? <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="211">3:31</a>

I have my own personal lost media in minecraft. There used to be a server I would play on. It was called something like "nixiumcore" or something similar. I played a zombie apocalypse game mode where you had this castle town hub or safe zone and you could go outside scavenge and fight zombies. I think either the game mode itself was called "dented shield" or that phrase was part of the server name. Either way I can only assume this server has been shut down long ago as I have tried multiple times to find it for nostalgias sake, and have never been able. It seems that there Is literally no trace of it left anywhere and it still bugs me a little to this day.

There’s one that I used to watch as a kid, all I can remember was herobrine living in like a volcano or something, and a character in the series living in like a secret cave turned into a little bunker type thing next to a beach. He’s trying to kill herobrine maybe but can’t due to obstacles interfering in the process, and herobrine messing with his sanity. I really can’t remember too much about it but I’ve recently tried to find it due to my reinstated interest in Minecraft again, to no success. Any help would be appreciated, because I’m truly coming to the conclusion that it’s just lost and or deleted from RU-vid.

the editing is super high quality! you got urself a sub.

“wooo itss me herobrine like the video NOW!” 💀

This video reminded me of a survival island series I'd watched when I was about 10 or 11, it only had 21 episodes and one of the people making it was named "joepass" or some variation of it. It was only in the last video that they finally made beds, and put them inside a building with a piston door. I can't find it anywhere now, but I used to take a lot of inspiration from their buildings as a kid.

I remember seeing something a long time ago, but it's very vague- I swear, it was a video where someone was interviewing Victor Surge (slenderman creator) while talking about the Enderman, and building a giant enderman holding a block (I think it was tnt).. and I have no idea who the youtuber was, or exactly how long ago it was, but I cannot find it.

RU-vid finally recommends good content, love the video

I’ve got the “first ever Minecraft video” on my old laptop. Downloaded it with plans to edit it into a slideshow type video which contained clips of new games being released in 2011

saw thing on my recommended. good video!!!!

this herobrine jumpscare was criminal.

there was one minecraft letsplay series that i used to watch a lot as a kid, it was a very popular series in the spanish community and it was called "road to dragon", in 2017 all the videos were privated and all evidence that the series existed disappeared, the only thing i found is all the links of the videos, and any of them have been archived on wayback machine.

Great video man

another great video as usual

There was a popular Polish Minecraft series created by user Nolif666, similar to Yogscast's Shadow of Israphel, about an abducted survivor of an Alien Invasion, simply called "Minecraft Aliens" There were 4 'seasons' produced, and while the entirety of the first season is archived, there are a handful of episodes that have been lost since Nolif666 had to private all his videos because of the use of copyrighted music, and later moved channels. I don't know if any recovery efforts were attempted, but given its popularity I reckon there would have been but unsuccessful. Nolif actually is still relatively popular on Polish RU-vid.

For anyone, i'm pretty sure the intro music is the 3008 roblox game soundtrack "friday"

youre very underrated, loved this video keep it up

there's one minecraft series that i remember watching back then. it was about a dude playing minecraft, but when they went to sleep, they were somehow outside of their player's body, and it would never wake up. one scene i remember is that there's this giant slime thing attacking the guy, and out of nowhere, he gets a shotgun and looks back at the slime monster who roars really loud. i also think i remember there being a really deep hole in the center of the map, and the map itself was small and flat.

KingKousky used to have a very popular Minecraft lets play with one episode where him and his sister anna died in a desert temple since he didn't know how the trap worked. Was like the first Minecraft series I ever watched but its been deleted and no where to be found today :(

The screenshot of the smoking video is from my favorite youtuber from when i was a kid: Namemethos, he always made piston redstone houses back in the day, the zigarette pack was one of them

I swear there was also a video where somebody made a calculator in Minecraft classic out of custom server command blocks, but that video was long lost. I remember not finding it years ago, so I guess it was considered lost media even for back then.

Great video!

I remember a youtuber years ago that made a video showing off a huge mansion including an entire garden grounds and backyard. Been trying to find it for years but i havent been able to. I remember being sad when he released a vid of him blowing up that same mansion

This reminds me of a Minecraft creepypasta short i saw 2 years ago .I was scrolling shorts on 2021 or 2022 when minecraft shorts were popular. One day i scrolled to a minecraft short about a person having an armor stand with a sword. The person turned and the armor stand killed the person. It was a troll edit with a phonk song. It is 100% real short and i cannot find it anywhere. I think the armor stand also moved but i am not that sure about that. I remembered it after 2 years because i played a minecraft world where my armor stands started to act weird. It was made in 2020, 2021 or 2022.

the silent hill sounds are amazing i love you

Music choice for this video was perfect

I remember watching polish Minecraft videos back in 2010~2012, I actually tried an absurd amount of times to find them years later but without the title, YT name or at least something that stood out. All I have is just ultra low quality recordings I took of said videos as a kid

I was lucky enough to play Minecraft 1.0 release candidate 1, but afaik it only existed for less than an hour. The tools broke after two or three uses because Dinnerbone was testing tool breaking sounds and forgot to change it back. So he did and Jeb uploaded MC 1.0 rc2 which was available on the launcher for a while.

I wonder if those old minecraft machinimas on Machinima are considered lost media. I vividly remember one where a guy had to break an unbreakable block in the side of his house

There was a skyblock player back in 2014 named LetsPlayWilly and I remember watching all his stuff, but when I looked him up again months ago it seems all his minecraft videos have been deleted/privated.

so where is this sample.mp3 track? i cant seem to find anything on it

That scooby doo flash game at the start came out of nowhere and hit me hard… so much nostalgia

Yo hold on did you use Biscuit Placebo music? Really good video btw 🙏 love your narration

HELLO? Why is nobody talking abt the way this vid is edited. It's so internetcore i love it 🎀

Hey, I was born in the late 2000s yet Stampy was still a major part of my childhood!

Not mentioned in the video. I remember around 2012 seeing a video uploaded to C418's channel, playing a really early version of Classic where he entered a (wooden?) block building with various rooms. IIRC, he when to different levels. Each level would play different music until he reaches the roof. None of them are used in Minecraft but some (or all) may have been C418's own music. After being on top of the roof, he looks around and walks out, falling into a pit. It then cuts to some text saying something like "Mushrooms and tall grass coming soon".

i remember some alpha minecraft water rollercoaster video with upbeat music. wish i found it again

i remember watching a Minecraft iceberg with footage of a fragment of the original stream. It wasn't long ago, it was around 2 years ago I watched that vide

no way bro put the infinite ikea music, dude that actually caught me off guard

Lost media is always a fascinating topic and seeing Minecraft's own form of it is quite unique compared to other forms of it. Also I was wondering: Where are the sound effects used in this video from? Like the transition screens and the intro screen to the video. I ask because another channel I watch uses them and they add a really nice atmosphere and its been bugging me for a while that I can't find the source of them.

learning that skydoesminecraft was contracted to do an anti-smoking PSA by the FDA is a new fact that im going to inflict upon people now

I refuse to believe this game isnt two years old, and even more so that people who were kids playing it are now adults

damn he used a song called No smoking on a part with anti smoking thing. Also fire vid! W ngl

The screenshot at chapter 6 is from a german RU-vidr called nameMethos who built many piston houses back then, the one in the photo being a cigarette box.

I loved playing mInecraft classic online on the Minecraft's site over 12 years ago... cool memories.

dude really put 3008 music in the background, expecting me not to cry. it’s been so long since i played it on roblox and even if id play it now, i wouldn’t be able to recreate the fun times and nostalgia i had playing it.

everyone always sleeps on Obligatory Cat Video - a video uploaded by c418 somewhere between 2009 and 2012 that depicted the very cat that voiced the ghasts

*<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="75">1:15</a>** oh my lord. i truly miss 2009 youtube so muchs.*

I got kinda irked at nitpicky details of your recounting of Copeland’s stream, but then I reminded myself that not everyone spent 4 hours researching herobrine last night

I'd recognize the Coolvetica font anywhere. It's such a nice font.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="60">1:00</a> I can't believe none of you know the older video - Cave game tech test

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="262">4:22</a> i mean luckly we have wayback machine to see the old livestream

Amazing video

thanks for reminding me i have been on youtube all night. i should go to bed

I find it interesting that I was watching Minecraft stuff 10 years ago, granted it was all skydoesminecraft and hungry games but now I'm watching more "mature" or atleast less childish content

Cool video!

You should tag the music in the description. I recognized some tracks from the Cave Story and Plants vs. Zombies OSTs.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="211">3:31</a> herobrine says to like the video

That first clip showing the Eaglecraft browser version.. I use that all the time at school because it’s unblocked and on school chromebooks we are not allowed to download the real version.. One of my friends was playing it.. It was in version 1.5.2 since that’s the most recent working version on the site.. I was so pissed when he asked me “Are diamonds even in this version”.. He was at y level 53

In the intro of the video, What was the Scooby Doo game? I have been looking for a old Scooby Doo game for years now, but I have absolutely nothing. That game in the intro feels so familiar it might be it.

The first track played is so on the tip of my tongue but like, I can't for certain remember what I heard it from

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2">0:02</a> the 3008 sound in Roblox.

"3008 - Friday Theme" is the background song in the first one

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="174">2:54</a> FNF BOB EYES

3008 soundtrack goes hard 🔥🔥

I have my own Minecraft Lost Media where it is simply an apk where you watch videos of a guy creating a mansion. It was on youtube but both the apk and the videos were deleted

So many of old Stampy videos are gone from his Main channels even some world tour ones pretty sure

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="296">4:56</a> I believe if I’m correct you can find them in the game files I don’t remember what version it was but I believe it’s in the game files somewhere

do you have the link to the reuploaded official mojang community celebration video?

I love the pvz music in the background :)

i like the APM music in the background

Oh also, about the copeland stream, theres a few new screenshots that were found

For anyone who wants to know the background music name at the start, it's called Friday Theme.

I saw that original Herobrine video, I can't belive it's nost now... I WAS THERE

“Minecraft Lost Media” *Proceeds to play 3008 theme from roblox*

I like that youtube used flash player :)

Is it really lost media if half of these have been found?

I saw the herobrine live back in 2015 in a random sighting compilation video. Try to search in those compilation videos with dates between 2013 and 2015?

I cant remember where or when I exactly saw it but, I remember a few years ago seeing a video on RU-vid that showed clips of the Copeland stream. It is very possible they were recreations though.
