13 Times That Minecraft Trailers LIED To Us

Before it was literally the biggest game on the planet minecraft used to be a little indie game with little indie trailers like this one by faraday which was just pure minecraft gameplay in an attempt to show you why they loved minecraft and it totally worked millions

Fell in love with this trailer where the only lie is this line no one can tell you what you can or cannot do because i mean have you seen the rules what you can and can’t say in chat nowadays but more seriously modern minecraft trailers are pre-rendered cinematics and they’re

Filled with inconsistencies and things that don’t make sense in the base game from blue stone to volcano structures to throwable swords that just don’t exist in the base game minecraft trailers nowadays are filled with these slight let’s call them disingenuous moments or perhaps misleading moments or just straight up lies minecraft trailers are

Filled with things that don’t make sense in the base game that aren’t in the products that they’re advertising and i wanted to go for all of these examples because sure they are made by an outside studio but that doesn’t mean that that you know if these outside studios know

They can better market minecraft with any of these things why don’t they tell the minecraft team that this is the most important thing i’m just saying when you look at for instance this trailer the cats and pandas trailer you can see they’re are bamboo cups and mugs which

Aren’t in the main update there is no way to make little cups for yourself and sure of course it doesn’t make any sense that you need a pot but then why show it in the trailer why do we have to have these trailers which are mostly made up

Of real things but then have these extra things thrown on top if it’s all about imagination being key then make up everything in the trailer i mean you can imagine the right blocks or you can imagine the right cups uh but when it comes to things like the the next

Example of trailers the village and pillage update this is when things got a little bit silly in my opinion because in this trailer not only do they show a raid entirely incorrectly we’ll get to that in a second uh they also show a villager who opens the shutters on his

Window and kind of peeps out to throw maps at the player i mean shutters on windows would be a really cool feature a way to keep the light in and out during the day would it not i mean again it’s solely there for the idea of role

Playing but why does everything else in this uh trailer have to be real including having trap doors beyond the edges of plants like they’re they’re using very real things of just a few artistic liberties and sometimes those artistic liberties don’t even add up to the sense of the plot i mean what is

This item on the ground right here uh that you can see i i genuinely don’t know you can see there’s like a baby villager in the java style and then just in the middle of this building there’s a lantern maybe but with an entirely different design i genuinely have no

Clue it is very very strange in my opinion but yeah as you can also there’s a villager kicking a slime this this trailer is just filled with inconsistencies but when the raid starts that’s when things get really crazy in my opinion because the rate that the pillagers raiding the village uh do it

In an entirely unrealistic way they haven’t honked their horn first of all this isn’t coming out of nowhere there’s not a ton of mobs running after them but what makes it even worse is when the player using their sword starts to attack the villagers and then just

Decides to throw it at one of the pillagers again if you want to make minecraft combat cool use features that are in there or if you think minecraft combat can’t be shown as cool then add in those cool features we’ve been waiting for a combat update for a while

Anyway right um i feel as though doing this like 99 real but then embellishing just a small amount of the details doesn’t make a huge amount of sense i in fact i would say it makes the least amount of sense um and uh yeah it just means that these trailers feel really

Really strange in my opinion because yeah like he launches across did you see how it ends he launches a firework into the sky there and uh you know like that’s a real thing you can actually do so what was the point why not make it a cooler firework i don’t understand this

Line that they’re treading if we go back into this trailer just a second after that firework though you’ll see something really interesting that you might already recognize which is that when the pillagers of the villagers are throwing out items of the players as a reward uh the villager in the background

Also decides to throw this a piece of blue stone as you can see right there above the emerald it is redstone but colored blue and so this is um the only time we’ve ever had an explanation for these trailer inconsistencies um because there was a whole excitement in the

Community that they’re clearly going to add blue stone because these trailers are accurate to regular minecraft sometimes that the movement of the players isn’t true etc etc but it turned out that yeah actually the animation studio they hired had this error which they included in there the redstone

Being blue and they just forgot to correct it these trailers are made by an outside team that’s when we kind of learned this and that’s when you realize that oh yeah they’re marketing minecraft trailers from people who haven’t necessarily got the minecraft experience to know that redstone isn’t blue i mean think about

That for a second redstone isn’t blue is something that might seem like it’s very tricky if you don’t know what english is maybe that’s the only way i can think about it um yeah what’s the difference between you know long story short it’s very very dumb and

This is where the origin of all these things come from however despite this huge confusion that it creates in the community uh despite that it seems as though they found this to be a very popular trailer style and so they went ahead and they used it again for the

Buzzy bees update and so uh you know what’s wrong with this trailer nothing it’s a really nice trailer that shows minecraft entirely accurately except oh this is a video about inconsistencies well i mean as you can see there’s there’s nothing wrong so far um it’s actually a very cute little trailer

Until you realize that wait a minute look at that background look at the amazingness of this world do you see how high those mountains are those mountains must be four five six hundred blocks high in fact if we play a little more you can see the bee is about to go down

A waterfall that is a hundred blocks tall even now after all this time because they did go ahead and had a caves and cliffs update because they saw the excitement this trailer caused even now we don’t have waterfalls that look like this that look actually natural and

Have rivers going from high to low um it has been uh now three years since this update uh trailer came out and so many of the cool features which were so great for marketing which by the way an update that turned out to be just bees uh so

Many of these features um and ended up just being like oh yeah we just use them because it makes the bees more exciting and it’s like well that is that the point of trailers should it be oh yeah should it be all about that i don’t know

If it necessarily should be and uh yeah you know what’s even crazy at the fact that not only is it the terrain being different but also in this trailer you can see there is a bee who just finds a random pillager at the village by the

Way and then also you can spot that there is a witch trying to steal honey from a beehive this is behavior that has no basis in minecraft no other mob cares about honey besides bees and you the player uh villagers don’t care about honey uh pillagers don’t care about

Honey and witches especially have no way of stealing it i actually think there is some cool law maybe here about how the witches are stealing the honey and that’s how they brew their potions but we never see any of that in the base game you only see it in a trailer which

Mojang confirmed is just pre-rendered stuff they hire an outside company to do which is why i think that’s entirely ridiculous it just sits weirdly with me just like how it sits weirdly with me that if we look at the never update trailer um things are looking entirely

Fine at first they’re going into a new ruined portal they’re going look how great it looks it’s slightly stylized but it’s fun they go into the never and it looks entirely different okay there’s again there’s some colorize happening here but it’s all base minecraft features just in super cool angles but

What i don’t like about this trailer is what starts to happen when i mean first of all they get destroyed by arrows when they first come in here which you know is that really gonna happen i don’t mind so much the ridiculous number of times they die in this trailer like literally

Getting one shot by a ghost i mean that’s not what really happens to you and then never is it like the the never has a lot but it’s a way of saying you will die in the nether it’s super dangerous but look at all the cool

Things but then i feel like that trailer message is lost when as well as showing real things like gold armor and trading with piglens and never right armor they start to mix things in like this look at this structure right here this is a soul sand valley but they’re actually again

This structure looks amazing it’s like a mountain with lava pouring down the side into this amazing looking lava around it this looks like the never update that we wish we had like structures inside each of these new biomes a form of terrain that actually looks like a mountain

Where there’s mobs coming at you from all over like it looks like almost like a pillager raid but for the never this looks amazing this inspires you so much to go to the never and try and find one of these because look at the way it all glows together it’s super spooky and

Amazing and you know what what’s the what’s the end result you go into the nether and you realize that only some of these things are real is this okay is this how you market games i again i feel as though uh sure sometimes games need to embellish details a little bit sure

Sometimes games need to just play things up like the death element i think is fine they’re just kind of trying to say you will die here and they’re not showing the the slow death where you get burnt to death etc i do understand some of those

Things but this is just a made-up thing this isn’t even something you could really imagine in your head because you’re never going to be defending the top of a mountain there is no such structure in the nether you’re never going to have free gas and 100 monsters

Coming at you it might feel like there are lots of monsters coming at you but it’s never gonna feel like you’re in a volcano because no such structure exists and you know this this might be argued as fine because their big update trailers are the ones they use to get

People back into the game they need to get people who have never played or have not played minecraft in a long time to play minecraft again because that’s that’s their whole business model right and so uh you know surely uh this is something they only do for these big

Update trailers but no ever since even if we look at this one the java account move a fun visit from dinnerbone do you know what you’re going to start spotting really quickly the oh it’s exactly the same thing uh what what do i mean by that well allow me to show you

Uh what i think is interesting and in this trailer which obviously looks really good i think it’s using real blocks again like uh glazed terracottas etc but as you can see as dinner bone heads into his house and there’s a ghost in there i mean that doesn’t make too

Much sense you can see that in his second house he opens the iron trap door and lava starts to flow out there not only does the lava flow out in an unrealistic way uh both in terms of speed and in terms of the direction that it starts flowing in but also lava

Cannot go through iron doors and you know i’m i also the player can’t shut behind doors it has to be done via button dammit also the player wouldn’t need to shut iron doors because they shot themselves i think i’m being really picky at this point but it’s just like

Why do we go for all these efforts to make realistic minecraft trailers and then we just then we just say things that aren’t really so true again i i’m not really entirely sure about it i mean i can keep going on with this in this trailer there is a green variant of the

X lotto in this trailer there is lava dropping from drip stone that that should be burning uh and this one they give an alley a glow berry which should lead you to a lush cave according to the the way it works but that’s not ally functionality and then i mean do we have

To talk about the super duper graphics pack as a whole minecraft is really good at making hype trailers but can we please make them accurate can we plea you know this is this is my uh honest take here as someone who values honesty a lot i like to uh be very honest about

You uh even when it’s saying things like oh yeah i would like you to subscribe because there’s a higher chance of seeing more of my video like when i say things like that i try my best to be honest because i think that the world works better when we all just tell each

Other what we want some people uh like to observate that and some people want other people’s needs to be observated so they can believe the world is perfect but i think most people would prefer a bit of honesty and so when it comes to minecraft trailers we all know this

Isn’t the biggest most amazing blockbuster game uh in the universe and so why do we have to make up structures to sell the game why do we have to make terrain that could never exist in the base game even you know like the height limit literally isn’t this high you

Could not make something this high let alone could this be a thing a random npc b finds um like why why do we have to uh you know like uh obstacle the game why do we have to hide what is really happening when what is actually happening is amazing in its own right

You can make these fun little stories you can’t even embellish some details uh but i think when we’re just making things up when uh there are just features that don’t make any sense where players are going to be confused about how you throw swords or what causes uh

You know do they have to keep their their beehives safe from uh witches and pillager raids etc when you create these confusions in the player base i feel as though you haven’t done a good i feel like you’ve done a bad and that is why minecraft lies to you and i don’t think

It’s very good i think hinting towards the future might be great if they did any of these things but how many did we get besides maybe better mountains but not even these level of mountains that they showed in this trailer which i’m going to keep going back to um besides

Uh maybe you could argue like okay well the window shutters aren’t a thing but we have trapped you know like basically nothing on this list came true these aren’t predictions for future features these aren’t uh like little hints into the future these aren’t even law things

Because as we know they’re just made by an outside team and then minecraft goes yeah this is great um as a result of all of that i feel as though this is something that is a little bit concerning i think that uh as a whole not lying to people is better than lying

To people i think that if you are to adopt a code for uh life or for your business or if anything else in general it should involve more honesty rather than less but that’s just my take i hope that you’ll enjoy this video regardless because if you did that means that you

Watch slightly more of it and it means the algorithm gods will like it and that means it might show more people which means more of those people will get an ad and therefore i’ll make a little bit of money for this thing that i like to do in my

I guess not me my spare time this is my my full-time job and thank you uh for those who support it if you feel like this video is worth your subscription i’d appreciate that but if you don’t then that’s fine because i’ll see you in the next one anyway unless

This was your last video in which case goodbye forever Yes
