Horrifying Discoveries in Minecraft Beta Footage

Horrifying Discoveries in Minecraft Beta Footage

The clip you just saw comes from a channel called the Nick 56 a Minecraft Beta channel that started off posting seemingly innocent let’s play videos from 2011 but over time has turned into one of the creepiest and most Sinister Minecraft Mysteries on the internet but to understand the story we have to start

At video one trying the new Minecraft update beta 1.5 this video is normal as the title States it’s just a Let’s Play video from Minecraft Beta 1.5 our protagonist who I’ll call Nick gathers various resources and builds a Charming beta house for himself the anomaly in this video comes 5 minutes and 10

Seconds in Nick is looking out onto the ice and he suddenly freezes the footage isn’t Frozen as evidenced by the movement of the water textures it’s just that Nick has suddenly become fixated on this spot the video then resumes like nothing ever happened but we get a weird

Note from Nick in the description sorry about the pause in the middle the batter’s in my mouse died this seemingly explains the anomaly but remember this spot on the ice as it’s going to become very significant in the later videos though the strangest and most cryptic part of this video is the comments

Section Nick’s YouTube account left two comments comments on the video console. manifest and console.log out even in isolation these two comments are extremely odd but they become far darker and more Sinister when put in context with the other videos case in point video number two making

Progress we return to Nick in the dark his house is expanded and we get a little tour of the land right away though we catch a glimpse of something extremely strange did you notice it Black textureless Blocks on the ice recall that this is the exact spot on

The ice that Nick’s Mouse died in the last video is it a coincidence almost definitely not but Nick doesn’t seem to notice the Black Blocks in this video as he pays them no attention coincidentally while he looks out at the ice the noises of the water below him go crazy for almost 20

Seconds is this intentional there’s no way to tell but Nick doesn’t see seem to care about the black blocks in this video as he pays them no attention besides a glance Nick continues playing as normal but this video has one more Oddity before it ends at 1 minute and 35

Seconds this happens it may seem like nothing happened and this is because the detail itself is very inconspicuous Nick gets the benchmarking advancement this isn’t anything weird in isolation but in context it’s very strange as advancements are meant to be rewarded the first time you do the task and Nick

Has definitely crafted before I mean he did it in the last video yet in this video his crafting table is completely gone and despite having this furnished House the game says he hasn’t crafted yet so what’s going on here Nick also mentions this in the description he’s

Just as confused as we are so while there aren’t any jump scares the small bulge of black blocks and the strange benchmarking in direction are definitely starting to make these videos Eerie and at long last the piece starts crashing down and the horror ensues this is video

3 buron from the first frame we already get a ton of new information this is Nick’s desktop and if it wasn’t obvious from the wallpaper and Minecraft version the date and time in the bottom right confirm that this is set in 2011 putting this video in context given that Nick

Called the first beta update new we can assume that the first video takes place when the update first released April 19th 2011 thus the second video we just watched will be taking place at least a day later as beta 1.5 was released April 20th 2011 4 days before what we’re

Watching in buron and if you don’t know what that means by the way I didn’t either so here’s the definition to grow rapidly if you haven’t yet connected the dots something in the last video has absolutely grown rapidly in the first few seconds of game footage we get some

Strange details 23 seconds in the audio just cuts for some reason Nick’s Door is also gone could be a remodeling choice but it’s just odd but the creepiest part of the video is definitely here Nick gets to his house he takes a look out the window and suddenly the few black

Blocks from before have turned into a sprawling Mass outside on the ice something is horribly wrong with Nick’s World Nick goes out onto the ice to investigate and we get this disturbing Scene static plays across the screen and the video abruptly ends now before we get a glimpse of a strange string of text in the top right and the word hours in the bottom right this string of text is a YouTube video link that leads to an unlisted video just titled hours and if

You thought this last video was disturbing just watch this one right off the bat this video is completely unlike anything I’ve ever seen if we’re even still watching Nick he has been warped into some other dimension completely consumed by Black Blocks surrounded by trees with very low hanging leaves the

Minecraft version in the top left is unknown and we catch a glimpse of a name tag ours in the far Corner when our protagonist turns his head there also seems to be a black figure flying watching over the entire Dimension as the footage continues there’s a flash as the hours character seemingly teleports

Behind us Nick turns to him but he doesn’t react the audio of the dimension is extremely creepy but if you pay close attention amidst the horrifying Ambience you can pick out with some distinct Buzzes this is Morse code and throwing the audio into a spectrogram we can clearly see the dots and dashes the encoded message is simply ours over and over and over and over for the entire video but the whole dimension gets even creepier when the chat messages start

Coming in they come from someone called Vil one are they the figure we saw in the sky maybe but their nature isn’t nearly as interesting as the messages they send impossible why you it took the others but not you why forget this all it’s must not know of this a second

Chance this poses even more questions than answers who is it who are the others a second chance at what before the end of the video we can spot many more hours players in distance the whole dimension is crawling with them the video cuts to static again and ends and

We can see the words failure and return in the top right the dialogue in this video reveals a ton about the lore of this series we can begin to speculate that Nick assuming the videos are sequential after the events of buron must have been transported here and

Maybe he isn’t the first it may be that many players have been transported here by it before they were turned into the ours players Nick was somehow an exception hence why Vil one was surprised but who is Vil one is he a player that was immune to its power it’s

Too early to tell for sure something else that’s strange is Nick’s very calm demeanor throughout the whole video yes he interacts with the hours people trying to figure out what they do but the entire video he’s just calmly wandering through the land as if it was all normal personally if this happened

To me I would freak out and just look around without really exploring but Nick seems to be very unbothered with the situation and content with just calmly moving forward there’s also another comment by Nick’s account console do/ still observing still noting another cryptic message from this quote unquote

Console what does it mean is it even Nick leaving these comments for us what is this place who is Vil one and who is it there are far too many questions to answer right now so to get some answers and solve this mystery we have to watch video five watching this video’s title

Is already strange the do/ at the end of watching is reminiscent of the console messages we’ve seen while not as outlandish as the hours video this video is arguably even more important for revealing what on Earth is going on here from the date on Nick’s computer we can

See this video takes place 5 days after buron it begins with Nick communicating to us the viewers asking if anyone has seen this error message from Mojang you’ll see it in a few seconds according to Nick nobody else on the forums has gotten this error this itself is

Important in information if Nick can’t find any help it either means that one he’s the only one targeted by the corruption and by it or two anyone else who was targeted was somehow silenced before they could report the bug Nick complains to us a bit more that he can’t

Get through Mojang’s support but then reveals a crucial piece of information this glitch has been happening since the crash on the 24th the events of the burgeon video did in fact happen on the 24th but describing them as a crash is extremely strange this brings into question the legitimacy of what we saw

In the hours video did Nick really experience all that if so why is he only calling it a crash if not and his game really just crashed after interacting with the Black Blocks what on Earth were we watching in hours he then finally pulls up the error for us to read in

Full and the message is very unnerving access denied Minecraft wasn’t able to start because there is current action item in your moding account preventing you from accessing out your services action item suspection of intrusion with malicious intent make a new moding account at minecraft.net or type download in the allotted space below and

Press enter to cleanse your account’s history and start fresh this will redownload Minecraft’s latest version and Java runtime launcher due to the infraction on your account we will be watching you closely this sounds a bit Sinister even for Mojang Nick Rambles to us for a little longer before finally

Deciding to cleanse his Minecraft account we get a brief flashing message from the console the cleansing has begun before the window closes and a new folder appears on Nick’s desktop the read me confirms that the cleansing was success and ominously that Nick is being watched Nick closes out the text and

Right before the launcher pops up we see static with the message not for you in the bottom left corner but what’s even Stranger than all of that is the new launcher that greets Nick after the cleansing right off the bat the launcher labels itself as Minecraft Beta 1.5

Three nothing really off until you realized this version of Minecraft doesn’t exist in the real Minecraft development timeline it went 1.51 1.52 1.6 Minecraft Beta 1.53 never existed Nick is playing a fabricated version of Minecraft this is further supported by all the official Minecraft links being 404d the final

Login message is also very cryptic it seems eerily personalized this whole launcher seems very beasy thrown together but if so then by who and for what I’m getting a hunch it isn’t from Mojang but to finally get some answers on What on earth is going on here we

Need to watch video 6 B 1.53 j00 it’s worth noting that this isn’t actually the original title of the video from an old video by indomitable sloth discussing the ARG we can see the original title of the video was B 1.53 jar 33% at the time Nick also had

33 subscribers so if you get him to 100 subscribers will the jar be 100% complete well I’ve don’t know about that but what I do know is that if you are enjoying the video then subscribing would be extremely appreciated a lot of people watching these videos aren’t subscribed so if you could consider

Subscribing it would truly help out a ton and tell me you want to see more of these types of videos but thank you so much the video begins with Nick in Window mode before it transitions with some static into the gameplay this version of Minecraft is offputting to

Say the least ignoring the double beta in the top left after Nick glances around he opens a chest in front of him the title of the chest reads gift and inside is a written book the book is titled cave game tutorial and the author has just been cited as creator of cave

Game you probably know but Minecraft was originally called cave game when it was in development what you might not know is that written books weren’t added to Minecraft until a year after this video was filmed in Minecraft 1.3.1 this feature should not be here this is verified when Nick tries to left

Click with the book he hasn’t ever seen this feature and he doesn’t know how to interact with it the book reads as follows this is 1.53 a new version of cave game please have fun and do not deal with matters that do not concern you very ominous and

The second page isn’t much better new game version that is made with of the over cave game versions from from from the error prone signed the compiler of the current manifestation the more you read the more this book descends into gibberish you could technically interpret this line as made with some of

The other cave game versions as if it was some Twisted math joke but the second symbol is lost on me the author also signs the book The compiler of the current manifestation there’s that word again manifestation it doesn’t seem like a coincidence that it would appear again

But who is the compiler why sign it so ominously Nick opens his inventory and instantly the anomalies get worse three things that are ridiculously out of place the shield slot not added till 1.9 the recipe book not in the game till 1.12 and worst of all the new layered

Steve skin a feature not in the game until 2022 what on Earth is going on here the date on Nick’s computer leads us to believe that these videos were recorded in 2011 if that’s the case what’s with this onslaught of yet to be added features as Nick turns around we

Catch a glimpse of a black figure on a hill is that it Nick begins cutting down a tree and static and in the bottom right we can catch a glimpse of some text Vil one has left the manifestation and just a bit later we see the same

Area and the black figure is gone that shadow was Vil one and again another anomaly another new feature of Minecraft unlocked crafting recipes even Nick is startled by this popup hovering over it as it isn’t and shouldn’t be something he’s ever seen in Minecraft then the

Video just ends what did we just watch did Vil one leave Nick the error message and now he’s really watching him is Vil one the compiler of the manifestation if so why did he give Nick the book and what even is the manifestation well that last one seems actually answerable it’s

My Hune that the manifestation refers to fabricated versions of Minecraft when whoever created this manifestation they were making this cursed version of Minecraft for Nick to play why well we don’t know but from the launchers and jumble of new features it’s clear this was a sloppily thrown together version

Of Minecraft this video also has some more information in the description a message from Nick to us this version of the game is very unrefined I don’t feel like it was intentional for the launcher to send me this version I have issues that I never had on my old world

Stuttering black screens missing chunks hell even things breaking and moving when they aren’t supposed to Nick is just as perplexed as we are interestingly we don’t ever see the other errors he was talking about in the video that footage either doesn’t exist or was for some reason emitted what’s

Also worth some discussion is the thumbnail of this video all the other videos so far have had some pretty representative thumbnails frames that exist in the actual video but what is this this is not a frame we see anywhere throughout Nick’s video yet it’s an image we’ve seen before it’s Nick’s

Profile picture from what I can can tell this seems to be a screenshot of a Cave System you can see the strip mining branches near the bottom but it’s significance in the context of this ARG is totally lost on me what does this thumbnail represent and back to original

Questions why does this version of Minecraft even exist well to finally confirm some of our theories we need to watch video 7 generating manifestation b1503 is probably the only video that gives us more information externally than within the actual video the title itself is intriguing generating manifestation b1503 supposedly this means it’s

Generating the version of Minecraft we saw Nick playing in the last video beta 1503 does that mean that it canonically comes first in the timeline without dates we can’t know for sure the video itself is lackluster an ominous humming plays in the background before the word generating flashes on screen several

Times nothing really remarkable it then goes black for half a minute before the video ends the comments on this video give us some more information one viewer asks Nick Nick what happened to them to the rest of them Nick responds console. gone air exec and then again comments

Console. user ER the original question is weird and Nick’s response does little to clear it up console gone error exception this could be detailing a sequence of events the others in question might be in reference to the other players who have experienced the bugs we’ve seen the players who are

Eventually corrupted into the hours players these players are now gone an empty set but there was an error an exception to the rule Nick Nick is the exception to the corruption the only one not to get converted by it though I could just be pulling this out of thin

Air Nick’s second comment doesn’t tell us much console user error and error logging in what is Nick trying to tell us and wait a second who even said this was Nick it seems weird that Nick would communicate to us like this in a cryptic console command format while it’s likely

Him in the description of the videos I have a hard time believing he would respond in weird ciphers so who is uploading these videos to the channel and responding to comments there’s definitely a story here that’s beginning to come together and we just need one more puzzle piece to bring it all

Together for that we have to turn to video 8 B 1.53 three jar 01 this video like the previous also had a different name at one point jar 99% why the change we might never know let’s just take it at face value the video takes place in the same messed up

Version as the other one with Nick starting off the video leading his dog through the dead of night back home and 15 seconds in we catch a glimpse of some null blocks on the leaves of a tree despite the text on the top left this is clearly not beta Minecraft the textures

Are totally different and there are just plenty of features that are completely out of place interestingly enough though the skeletons use the beta bow model and the old oof hurt noise still plays when Nick takes damage yet another version amalgamation and just as Nick returns home we get this a distorted Minecraft

Screenshot flashes on screen with an ominous text this confirmed some of our earlier suspicions it or Vil or someone has access to Nick’s Channel and is interfering with these videos videos communicating directly to us the viewer by extension why wouldn’t they also have the power to reply in the comments I

Mean it’s not like Nick would put this text in himself when we return to the video though the entire footage is corrupted by RGB scan lines and all the sounds are horribly distorted Nick tries to craft an iron axe and we briefly see that it apparently does nine attack damage and has

1,209 attack speed clearly a corrupted value a weird xylophone esque tune plays as Nick walks round suspiciously calm if these Corruptions are also present on his end he clearly isn’t showing it we then catch a glimpse of sweet berries another really new Minecraft feature and two more looks at the corrupted no

Blocks before the video ends this video is odd very very odd something worth noting that I briefly touched on is how unbothered Nick is through all of this from what we can see the corruption doesn’t even look like it’s present in Nick’s game at least there’s no stress

Reflected in his behavior does he even even see everything going wrong regardless whoever made these versions of Minecraft made them hastily and somehow has features that won’t be in the main game for essentially a decade what’s more how did Nick even get his hands on this broken edition of

Minecraft in the first place initially it did seem as if he was playing normal Minecraft Beta yet along the way he must have gotten his hands on this corrupted copy the next video generated manifestation B 1.53 is potentially the most important video of them all it seems to be a

Sequel for the generating video we saw earlier the word generated slowly spell itself out on screen while we hear the noise of a computer weing up in the background and that’s it it spells out generated then vanishes but then the single-handedly most mysterious and important part of

The the last upload on Nick’s channel was this one yeah I’m not going to read that this title is in heximal translating it to English text we get data leak 1 the background of the video is the weird world we saw in hours while layered over it is a conversation

Between Vil one and it phus how much longer can the manifestation be held open it could collapse at any moment we can’t risk having him here his connections to the outside arm manous he sits in a limbo between us and Them create a new manifestation for the time

Being keep him distracted understood I will need to figure out a more permanent solution to this blip this completely both confirms and overhauls some theories we’ve have about the story so far we now know the identity of Vil one vilicus or the Latin word for overseer

And he is directly working under it this means that Vil is likely the figure we saw flying over the world of ours overseeing that Dimension the manifestation that we hear it talk about are the corrupted versions of Minecraft Nick has been playing we now know that Vil can create and generate these

Manifestations likely through the console but over time they begin to collapse as evidenced by the presence of null blocks this also explains why they seem so Hasty Vil has to immediately generate a new manifestation whenever the current one begins to collapse we also importantly learn that Nick is the

Threat to its operation his connections to us the viewer makes him a liability it’s through Nick that we can see through its schemes so it commands Vil to make another instance to keep Nick in limbo and Vil does ending the video with another console command hinting at yet another corrupted manifestation to come

In future videos so what is the whole story being told here it’s clear that it whatever he is is quietly Distributing a corrupted version of Minecraft how it ended up in Nick’s hands is a mystery but maybe it was marketed as a free version of the game when in reality it

Was all a facade a trick to convert more and more players into his minions or ours what he wants to do with them is is a mystery though I doubt it could be anything good a trick Nick fell for managing to obtain this corrupted version of the game made by it but as

His manifestation collapsed he was okay he didn’t become ours he was an exception Vil immediately notices this evidently shocked that someone survived the Nullification as evidenced by his messages to Nick it took all the others but not him yet Vil doesn’t turn him in instead he says that it must not know of

Nick’s immunity it’s seems like Vil might just be on our side it’s right-hand man but in reality frustrated with him wanting to stop his operation for some reason or another explaining why he gave Nick the gift of the book he wants to help him the Nullification failed so Nick is returned to another

Manifestation as we can see from the static failure return a second chance a second chance to expose it to the world and this gives us an answer to another one of our questions maybe it it’s Vil himself who is uploading these videos onto YouTube it’s clear that he knows

How to operate the console so these commands in the comments might just be him he is uploading footage of Nick so that the world can see its schemes as they are horrifying attempts to convert people into mindless hours players but in all of this there is one more mystery

One key that could solve the entire story once and for all and tell us what its major plan is and how to stop him and that key is this this this code that appears in the end of the generated video this singular code is the final puzzle piece in solving the mystery the

Description of the generated video has a cipher which when converted from hex translates to cave game generate and a message though it is not as it seems the answer is correct however it is also incorrect perhaps a rearrangement and in the comments another Cipher a Caesar Cipher shifting all the letters seven

Characters over gets us this reorder. use all of this combined tells us something crucial about the message in the video there must be some way we can reorder and use it some rearrangement that makes this code the key to solving the mystery I spent tens of hours trying to decode this message

Going through every Cipher solver online asking Chad GPT even coding my own bot to try to unscramble the letters yet at the end of the day I was only able to rearrange the characters to form this obviously all of these are incorrect I’m nearly positive that this message is a

Res scrambling the characters there are sufficient to spell hours Vil One console and https www and.com granted there’s no colon but I’m almost sure this message is either a console command or a URL starting with www a URL to a website that could finally top off this

Mystery and solve it for good cracking the case wide open to what it is really doing but I just can’t Solve IT trial and trial and trial again I just couldn’t get it so I’m turning to the only place I can the thing it is most afraid of I’m turning to you the

Audience for help even if it’s only once copy the code in the first line of the description plug it into a random letter Scrambler and generate leave your findings in the comments even if it’s just gibberish there are hundreds of thousands of you watching so maybe just

Maybe one of you will happen to crack the code we haven’t gotten an update for Nick’s channel in months either this ARG was abandoned or the final message is the key to solving it all we can only finish this mystery together so join the Discord get out your Cipher cracking

Tools and let’s solve this mystery and expose it once and for all thanks for watching peace out have a good one see you next time

This is NOT a series called Minecraft VVSauce where I explore random features of Minecraft. Not Secret Minecraft things or Minecraft lore (like Game Theory) or Escape Rooms, but a Minecraft ARG with creepy mysteries and old alpha and beta footage that is very scary and creepy and scary.
