The Horror of Alpha Minecraft

Discussing the horror that is present in old Minecraft, specifically Alpha Minecraft and Minecraft Beta 1.7.3. I also talk about and explain one of Minecraft's oldest mysteries featuring a strange house the player has never seen before. The old versions often have a feeling of nostalgia, liminality and creepiness attached to them and the worlds of old Minecraft are often compared to liminal spaces so in this video I discuss that, I hope you enjoy!

    Unfortunately I had to edit out a section of the video due to a copyright claim. Here's the section that's missing for anyone wondering: Whilst the internet wasn’t exactly new by the time Minecraft was in development it was nowhere near as advanced and streamlined as it is today. To quote wikipedia “the rapid technical advances that would propel the internet into its place as a social system which has completely transformed the way humans interact with each other, took place during a relatively short period from around 2005 to 2010”. This was a time when technology was still new and not as completely integrated into our lives as it is today. These myths in old minecraft were becoming popular at the end of this period and so whilst any time afterwards people would just dismiss them instantly. Back in 2010 they were less likely to fact check or research for themselves instead they often chose to believe what they heard or saw. Today herobrine might just be a joke but at the time lots of people genuinely believed he was in the game. So now we come back to deadsk1nmask’s video “Very strange house in Minecraft that I did not build”. Also it's not 4 months between August and November that's my bad lol Hope you enjoyed the video regardless :)

    Great video and I can confirm that we genuinely believed herobrine to be true, being notchs dead brother and all. Me and a friend actually set up a server just to look for him. I still remember us coming across naturally occurring cobble stone where lava and water met and gaslighting ourselves into thinking it was placed by herobrine. Must have been in like 2011 I think. Simpler times lol.

    Something else worth noting about Alpha Minecraft is that mobs didn't make noises as they approached you. So they would sneak up on you if you let your guard down.

    You can't find Herobrine if you install mods back in Beta because Herobrine only existed in the META-INF file ;) Was also cool to see you cover the thing about duplicating chunks cause even I as a early teenager remember hearing about some data overload or file corruption thing where you could intentionally or accidentally merge 2 worlds together, like a super prehistoric way of MCEditing 2 different worlds together. Nice to know it was another one of those weird things that turned out to be real.

    the weird glitches and the intentional horror elements (cave sounds and disc 13), combined with the fact many players, especially children, didn't know much about how programming and computers worked made stuff like herobrine seem quite plausible. the scary thing was that no one knew how he worked or if he existed at all. was he a hacker, a virus, a secret part of the game code, a bug, or an actual curse? you also couldn't really disprove he was in your world because minecraft worlds are infinite (since infdev), thus the only thing you could find were world generation anomalies that made him seem more plausible instead of less. personally, i never really believed in herobrine, but i remember there was a time when i was not 100% sure. but i do remember being scared by the cave sounds and even just the normal mobs.

    here before this blows up⭐ growing up I used to play pocket edition with my friends and would always try to freak them out by placing random blocks or breaking leaves off trees and freaking out like it was herobrine. sometimes I'd accidentally scare myself lol. back when the worlds were extremely limited and the fog was in full effect, before bedrock edition was a thing. great video

    Excellent video. The peculiar atmosphere of old minecraft can feel very ephemeral, but I think you did a great job of pinning it down and explaining where it comes from here. Also I hadn't heard about the mystery house video before and I love that it was actually real because of that glitch. That's amazing.

    The idea that random chunks from deleted worlds and servers you join can spawn in newly created worlds is honestly a fantastic feature. Imagine if instead of having the same handful of structures over and over, we actually had stuff made by other players show up in our worlds.
