300 Players Simulate Civilization in Minecraft Backrooms

Come on what do you think when you hear about the back rooms is it the uneasiness the liminal space the idea that you can no clip out of existence how would it make one feel alone separated isolated well in this video I took 300 of my best Minecraft players placed them into the

First five levels of the back rooms and let them roam free but first here’s what you need to know the players themselves don’t actually know that they’re gonna be in the back rooms instead they think that they’re playing in just another peaceful tropical island experiment which they

Will be for the first 30 minutes from there players will be thrown into level zero of the back room so they’ll soon find out that they are not alone as usual the players only have one life so if they die they are dead for good will

Our players be able to make it out or will they be stuck forever I present the back rooms experiment Day one the players were set free to explore the island here on this Tropical Paradise there were increased levels of food and other resources players on the island would also be given a buff of regeneration 10 making it virtually impossible to die they’re all just being killed by each other or drowning as

Usual for the first day most players all just scattered to punch trees and mine for iron and diamonds some players not knowing that they were all about a no clip into the back rooms even started building shelters many of which with questionable design anyways players were enjoying their stress-free time living

On the island until suddenly strange things started happening the skies seemed to grow darker players were flickering in and out of existence and the Regeneration was growing weaker until finally welcome to the back rooms here in level zero of the back rooms there were no resources whatsoever and on top of that

They were not alone anyways players were slowly being teleported here randomly from the island and surprisingly they didn’t Slaughter each other on site while some players were significantly better off in terms of armor and resources most knew better than to kill in such an unfamiliar environment instead many of the players

Just stayed around their spawn to greet the newly teleported players to the back rooms while some others left to explore their new surroundings to see if there were any resources whatsoever and spoilers there weren’t in place of resources some of these unfortunate explorers would run into something rather different

Okay where the hell is it oh okay okay after a while due to some outside sources players and their friends started to figure out that they were spawning in at four specific locations of varying 1000s armed with this knowledge and the fact that they would either starve to death or be killed by

Strange creatures they set off to try and convene together foreign Using their coordinates most players were able to travel towards the direction of their Companions and just as the players crossed zero zero they discovered something the bright white and purple stood out in the monotonous sea of yellow wallpaper and carpet unsure of what this new structure did

More and more players started to gather around it as the word spread turns out it was a portal more so a portal to level one surprisingly level 1 was far more habitable than level zero players had entered level 1 with Extreme Caution but after a bit of exploring they began to relax

On this level it turns out that the surrounding blocks were actually breakable along with containing Supply crates that were scattered all over the map the first few players eventually figured out that level 1 was the closest thing that they would get to an ideal living space immediately they started

Urging any and all players still stuck in level 0 to reach level one on naked the good news didn’t end there though as mentioned before there would be Supply crates that players could find all over the stage containing food bores and even valuable drinks that would come

To be extremely useful going back to the progress that the players have made it dawned on them that they weren’t completely out of the woods yet food was still a quickly growing issue amongst them as most players were still mining when they got teleported to solve this they started planting potatoes and

Creating Community Farms using resources from the island it seemed that the players were able to quickly mitigate this issue however an even larger issue slowly crept up to the Forefront they did not have enough dirt you see up until now the players have been mostly neutral with each other all sticking

Together in hopes to mitigate their chances of death now that they were given a glimpse of survival their suppressed biases began to show players began stealing dirt from each other in order to bring back to their own friends someone took all the dirt and stole it

She stole all the dirt and the farm and just walked away with the crap some even taking part in dirt espionage dude they are because they all stole dirt they’re supposed there’s a whole operation man this cycle is dealing quickly escalated into gang violence and various cruel and unusual punishments

Multiple groups were formed as a direct cause and of these groups the three most prominent were the moles gang and COK the moles a group of idealists that hope to provide a safe space for any and all players within the back rooms while they were the most welcoming of the three

Groups it also proved to be a weakness gang was a group Forum between a small circle of friends that slowly grew as they recruited more and more people being a mostly private and neutral group they would only attack others when provoked mostly keeping to themselves as they tried to escape the back rooms

Finally there was COK or as most others called them kill on sight while arguably the smallest of the three groups Kos was a faction of bloodthirsty players that would kill anyone that wasn’t in their group their only food source came from pillaging other players and their only

Goal was to escape the back rooms and nothing was going to stop them Foreign dude they’re coming they’re coming what’s up they’re coming I’m coming stand still It was day three now and more creatures were beginning to show up though alarming most players had become used to their harsh life within the back rooms many coming up with new strategies to counter these monsters with some even using boats disappears as the players continue to explore they

Were able to gather large amounts of almond water found within the supply crates oh my God using this abundance of almond water players were able to focus on becoming stronger now with a large amount of the remaining players sporting full diamond armor anyways at this point most groups

Had been solidified and the hunt for the next Portal had begun though no one was quite sure exactly where it was leading to a giant goose hunt with players all headed away from 0-0 however not long after the first players were able to find the Portal while it was discovered

Relatively quickly the information about the discovery was Kept Secret from the others because of this there was surprisingly no player Conflict at the portal with most groups all reaching the portal at different times down here right here oh oh we’re just going through first here we go upon

Entering the portal here is what they learned in levels two and three players would instantly find themselves suffering from heat exhaustion to continue half of the level was actually submerged beneath water only making things much harder for the players these were the boiler rooms and this level was undeniably hell for

The backroom explorers because of the heat exhaustion anyone on this level would permanently have hunger and slowness effects the Halls were also full of dead ends forcing players to vent around causing their chat to be filled with copious amounts of Among Us references the one Saving Grace for the

Players though was a seemingly not so useful drink found in the supply crates rehydrated water not only did the water breathing provided allow players to explore the lowest part of the level it seemed that drinking the potion also temporarily removed the hunger and slowness effects even so finding the

Next level was not going to be an easy feat while there were multiple elevators scattered across this level it would still be hours before anyone was able to find one though there were no monsters that spawned on this level players would come across giant boilers that contain valuable treasures inside them causing

Greedy explorers to be leered in and boiled alive with a single misstep oh oh are you is it a trap it is in the meantime trouble was brewing back on level one turns out Kos had been rampaging across the level because no one was willing to share the location of

The portal with them at first none of the prominent groups did anything about it as it really didn’t affect gang and the moles had to keep track of way too many residents this all changed though when Kos had finally killed a member of gang the second the message popped up in

Chat people were Furious to avenge their fallen teammate gang struck a deal with the moles to create a subdivision of Players called the peacekeepers a battalion of Warriors specifically meant to deal with Kos by tracking the giant path of Destruction left by the barbaric group it was concluded that Kos was

Already on the way to level 4 gaining the information by torturing and slaughtering any explorers they came across it was then decided that the peacekeepers would intercept Kos at the portal to level 4 marking the start of a bitter rivalry at the start of the day all players were

On the move the peacekeeper’s goals were to prevent Kos from escaping the back rooms Kos on the other hand was rumored to already have entered the next level while the peacekeepers were still having their explorers guide them to the portal to describe level 4 it was an empty

Office building where no entities would spawn containing incredible amounts of loot hidden everywhere while this level was the safest yet with sprawling flat grounds as far as the eye could see it also just so happened to serve as the perfect Battleground for players that’s like 20 people in full diamond deal

Right now Kos eventually got word that the peacekeepers were coming they set out warnings to any approaching Challengers warnings which were promptly ignored the peacekeepers had finally reached the portal and Kos could sense it waiting just below the peacekeepers was a group of murderers that knew of no

Fear and felt No Remorse as members of the moles and gang waited diligently for the battle to commence the peacekeepers charged oh yeah they were at the wrong portal it was a complete oversight the players thought that there was only one portal leading to their current state of

Confusion and with the marginal amount of players currently in level 4 by the nature of the back rooms it was now extremely difficult to track down Kos as most players had settled down in level 1 leading to less and less players inhabiting the further levels taking advantage of this Kos ran and

Immediately started their hunt for the final portal the one that would take them to level five the peacekeepers on the other hand decided to regroup with the rest of their respective teams to discuss further actions meanwhile with all this drama going on [Laughter] Surprisingly not much else happened for the day as the backroom residents continued their lives now freed from the fear of Kos a feeling of safety that unfortunately would not last much longer Because level 4 was a safe level players had no trouble finding the portal to the next level fortunately for Kos they seem to always be one step ahead of everyone else being the first group to make it to level 5. it was here where they discovered that level 5 much like level

Zero was filled with monsters instead of yellow wallpaper though it was a rundown Hotel filled with endless hallways this time it was like the players were given a mission located within the hotel rooms were strange books that needed to be collected by themselves Kos ravaged through the rooms but it seemed like the

Back rooms required more people so Kos waited and for the first time stopped trying to kill others after a while members of the moles gained and peacekeepers finally started trickling into the final levels armed and ready for a fight to their surprise Kos didn’t Ambush them and was in fact nowhere to

Be found instead they were all also tasked with the collecting of the mysterious books a long time past and players were beginning to grow confused most groups had all their members migrate all the way from Level 1 to level 5 just to collect books as almost every remaining player reached level 5 something

Happened the threshold had been met and a countdown began at first it was 5 minutes then it was one minute then five seconds one second all players were teleported simple instructions run foreign
