The Virus that Turns Minecraft into a Horror Game
Ойындар
Error 437 is a Minecraft horror exe that claims to include a virus in the game. The virus adds to the horror of the game by allowing 4th wall breaks, affecting your actual pc. Let's play through the game and see all that Error 437 has to offer

It's crazy how no one has made an actual exe game of Minecraft, that copies the look of the game. The textures slowly turn more rotten and there's a scary Herobrine and of course, jumpscares. But it's probably because horror maps can already do that

Big respect, as a reverse engineer, for doing stuff like ripping mod assets and building your own version. I love when people screw the rules with knowledge.
Honestly i like the idea of a file that modifies Minecraft and makes it look weird and creepy, but making the same version with a different name and placing a virus in there is not cool ngl.

The worst part is that you can't use it in a VM. The “creator” is quite the bag of gilded dicks.
memes aside though, that VM detector was an EXTREMELY scummy move
this "mod" seems so easily exploitable with the creator forcing it to run on your own rig and not on a VM + i just feel like most of the stuff he adds only makes the game harder "artificially" like locking controls, random spawns in lava, and things like that

That segment with "Notch" was hilarious. 😂 And that segment with "Bill Gates" at the end completely negated the trauma from the video.
the fact that this man (and his team) made the game mc they couldn't run it on a VM. True madlad
"Unregistered Hypercam 2" Nostalgia.
the quality put into these videos are amazing, awesome job dude also pretty shitty how the developers made it so you can’t run it on a virtual machine, the whole virus thing should’ve been a fun, harmless prank
_Love the middle finger to the VM detector!_
Oh damn. I didn't expect to see this. You are funny as hell man.
I liked how you mentioned MEMZ, but for anyone who doesn't know what it is, it was created by Leurak, who initially made it as a fan submission for a series called Viewer Made Malware, a series of videos created by youtuber danooct1, here the virus also made a appearance on the Windows 10 Destruction live stream by Swedish twitch streamer Vargskelethor Joel, and such Laurak made more viruses for Joel, including VineMEMZ, which made a appearance in danooct1's channel as well.
It goes beyond a scary game when it really starts messing with your PC and your worried about your security
2:12 the windows analysis one second after running the minecraft world only to be completely ignored: *something malicious is brewing*
The fact that the crescendo of this "virus" was just another Herobrine jumpscare made me want to die.
In early 2010s, i played Minecraft with Block Launcher, it was very bugged, after some time, chunks on flat world regenerated, and caused big walls around my base Also, texteres often randomised, and this looked very scary and i used to create a new world

Said words became obscene when the *French* Normans invaded England in 1066, and introduced French and Dutch into England. Thinking their words to be superior and the Anglo-Saxons' to be inferior, certain English words became obscene. Ironic that we say, "Pardon my French," before cursing, despite the fact that it ought to be our Anglo-Saxon/Old English that needs pardoning, thanks to the French.
