That library is actually the library of babel, which is an infinite library that contains every single possible book in existence, because each book is a random assortment of characters containing every single possible combination of characters. This naturally generates an infinite amount of books, but somewhere hidden in the library are combinations of letters which make perfect sense, and contain the world's greatest secrets, like the cure to cancer (since there is at least one combination of letters that would generate that.) Furthermore, there is a book that would guide you properly through the library, though said book is rather impossible to find, and even if you found it, it may not be a "real" guide since many fake ones would also spawn due to the nature of the library.

The library has all the truths and lies of the world kept within it, all prophecies, true and false. It has both Shakespear and Shakespear but one letter is off. Everything, it has an image of my great great grand children's birth made out of letters and characters. Would be interesting if we could use AI to find specific books.

My problem with concepts like these is that the chance of actually finding something coherent is so infinitely small that it may as well be zero. Like, sure, the cure to cancer might be there, but you would have to sift through literal millions of books before getting maybe one word right. I know that it's supposed to be rooted in real hypothesis of quantum physics, the idea that the universe is infinite and there are only a finite configurations that matter can exist in, and so at some point things would just have to repeat. So a banana , or more famously a boltzmann brain, could materialize out of nowhere in the middle of space. The problem is that matter is simply more likely to assume other shapes rather than these hyper specific objects. It's simply more likely for an unassuming cloud of space gas to be copied over and over ad infinitum. Sure, THEORETICALLY that banana might exist somewhere, but the chances are so low compared to the vastness of infinity that it really doesn't matter. It could simply not exist You can let a random generator run for eternity, sure maybe at one point you would find a coherent thing, but you would have to wait through multiple lifetimes of multiple universes to maybe get one slightly coherent paragraph, and it won't be shakespeare.

I always interpreted “nothing to solve” as a way of saying there is no hidden lore in the snapshot, its all just random and for fun

I'm glad more people have been drawing attention to this version recently, it's one of my favorite things Minecraft has ever done. On one hand, I wish there was more to this update, but on the other, I wonder if the relatively small number of hard-coded dimensions helps each one feel distinct (I mean, 43 is not a particularly small number, but still). I also like the overall tone of the update. You don't often see straight humor in the game aside from these April Fools updates, and I feel like that disconnect actually helps to make the update feel more out of place. Most of these April Fools updates (In particular 2016,2019,2020,2023 and 2024) feel like you're given the opportunity to view what Minecraft looks like in a weird alternate universe, which makes them very memorable

true, idk why didnt it create a bigger boom back in the day of release

I think what's scarrier about the 'isolated' one is that if Bob is the only "humanoid living thing" (he has three dogs and there's the player), then the dude he killed was the only other "humanoid living thing"... Why in a world where there are only two villagers one would kill the other ? He would end up feeling very lonely (despite the signs telling he's clearly seeking loneliness to be at left in peace). Why killing the only social life he could have ? Maybe because it is, and it drove him crazy to see the only and same exact same face everyday... But what if bob and this unknown unfortunate villager weren't the only villagers in this dimension ? Or else, why taking the effort to hide the body of the other ? And not making a proper grave ? Bob shouldn't care after all, he's the only villager in this empty world... Could there be other dimensions travellers including some kind of police who would "arrest" him for murder ? I have so many questions, this one is by far the most intriguing one, maybe because there are living things in it and not just as a block like in the llama one where the llama isn't anything special, just like a block, like if there was a "chest" seed for a world made of chests... or the "slime" one. Very interesting video, thank you youtube algorithm, and thank you for the throwback to 2020 and this very unique april fools snapshot, kind stranger ! Very nice essay !

I think "nothing to solve" is directly aimed at the players combing through each dimensions looking for secrets and mystery. Like the hidden chest under isolation, which provided a bit of a tongue-in-cheek secret to the dimension, but the book "nothing to solve" emphasizes that they're just that. Easter eggs. Funny secrets. That there is no deeper mystery to solve. This might even be more applicable to the entirety of the game with players looking for a clear concise storyline to follow where, maybe according to the book, there is none, just various game design decisions. Maybe. who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

1:03 Old Pre-1.18 post Beta 1.8 Mountain generation my beloved, why are they so fucking rare now

The infinite snapshot was always one of my favorite updates, I enjoyed exploring different dimensions a lot. But if I decided to stay in a particular dimension and build something, I’d feel this lingering creepiness. I kept telling myself that this is minecraft, I know it like the back of my hand, there’s nothing that could happen that could actually scare me. But the feeling still lingered and it kept me from exploring the non easter egg dimensions for a while. This video shed some light on that, I also realized that I may be adding to the liminality of it by turning mob spawning off. I did that because random dimensions sometimes spawned withers, ender dragons, and giants which lagged the game so I just stopped them from spawning. But it made the world feel even more alone, not even a skeleton or any mob to remind me in any way that this is still minecraft and I’m not really alone if there are mobs.

@@therealfrapsed the easter egg dimensions are all supposed to contribute to the mystery of the arg world. the whole updates purpose was the arg. you really didn't do your research.

I LOVED this april fools snapshot because it looked like they were experimenting with new features that we, the players, would get to use for ourselves in the future. That ended up being true - support for custom dimensions came very shortly afterward. However, I also specifically remember getting physically nauseous when I played this snapshot. I feel like it had something to do with the fact that most of the random (non-easteregg) dimensions followed one of maybe 3 or 4 different worldgen formats, and then things like the blocks, sky color, time speed, etc were just decided randomly as an overlay to whatever format had been picked. And I saw that there were a potential 2 billion dimensions (Java integer limit). It's like it was SO CLOSE to being truly awe-inspiring with how diverse and expansive this multiverse was, but eventually the monotony of it got to me and started to make me physically sick. I now have an understanding for just how much of an effect a liminal space can have on a person's emotional and even physical state. And yes, you're right, this snapshot was 100% a liminal experience.

i dont know if anyone else noticed, but "nothing to solve" is a signed book, meaning it goes to its own dimension. i wonder if there's anything interesting in that dimension?

I wish someone made a mod that fucked up the world generation to be like this, so i could make a gregtech base in one of these spaces.

I thought Bob's house was cozy until you mentioned the buried chest. That's completely scary

This is very good video, very good editing and interesting to watch, btw 20w14infinite is my favorite version, it also reminds me of Minecraft Story Mode episodes where characters travel across similar dimensions through portals, i wish Mojang will one day add stuff from other Minecraft franchises like Minecraft Dungeons and etc

Pretty sure the sea lantern one is a reference to the horror movie "Cube"

this update rocks, just imagine if minecraft actually revolved around gameplay like this, infinite dimensions, all with random blocks with random but sensical textures, random mobs, clouds. Stars, moons and suns, crafting recipes. Minecraft is simple enough that a lot of its generation and gameplay could be randomized, i’d love to hop worlds over and over, discovering more and more, and if it were multiplayer it’d be like no man’s sky. All the players hopping dimensions and possibly running into each other. There could be secrets littered about and perhaps a way out of the dimensions, who knows how that’d work. I’d love to explore forests of a strange dimension hearing the sounds of strange mobs in the distance, none that I have seen before. Endless anticipation.

I certainly love the idea of liminality and the community around it- so I enjoy seeing it in my favorite video games.

Really interesting video. Felt like you could have made a big point on transition being a big factor in liminality since a lot of these dimensions were obviously not finished player ready dimensions but are halfway between nonsensical concept and polished fleshed out worlds.

Very interesting video. I enjoyed it

Amazing video!

cool vid bro thanks for sharing

great video!

My absolute favorite update, I actually found one place, where chirp played nonstop every tick

I’m quite interested in the snapshot and having studied it for a while. I’d like to correct a common misconception; boxes of infinite books can NOT generate an infinite amount of seed values. Each box will generate as many books as you like but each book will contain the same text as long as the box is in the same position. Moving the box to a different block will change the text output, however, any box in one given position will always output identical text. This is also consistent across dimensions, so the boxes will never provide more than something around 10^17 possible values. You can generate more than this by writing your own books though. Also the end ships’ generated books follow different rules so I’m not sure what the upper bound on that one is

some of the worlds are genuinely maze-like

I would like to point out what an liminar space actually is Liminar means transitory A good example is a hallway or the inside of a train These are spaces designed to conect other spaces, that is their purpose Once you take away the purpose of a liminar space (by taking away the People using It) It looks creepy because said lack of purpose What you and Wikipedia described would actually be a trendy movement of taking away the purpose of man made structures, a house the place where you live imagine It empty, It looks dark and twisted without the anything to fufill its purpose

I never could actually figure out why I felt like this update felt almost… scary. I chalked it down to Fomo; the infinite nature of the infinite worlds has now become two layers deep. Even so, just experiencing the infinite dimensions still felt… melancholic. Hype, yes, but still… now I know that it really was because it were all so liminal. The original loneliness has now been multiplied by an infinite amount. It’s the loneliest I’ve ever felt. Fixed it by exploring it with friends tho (:

I'm tearing up 🥲

Very nice video

Guys they doesn't have to activate windows, it's their watermark 😎

I want to steal this idea

This was a very good video essay, i am glad that someone made a video about this, i've felt the same liminal feeling about those dimensions haha, gallery is my favorite one tbh I hope mojang keeps doing stuff like this, i mean the moon from the vote update also felt really liminal to me, what do you think? And on that same subject, the twilight forest gives me liminal vibes aswell, but its more comforting in some odd way? It's beautiful regardless. i love this topic

I wish someone would bring this feature back in modern versions with modding.

problem i have with the infinant books, if you find a dimention you like, you wont be able to reenter it with another book becuase cant atuayl read the infant books or they are too long , the fleet books also change and "glitch" so cant even redo them if maticulusly wanted to.
