The End: Ten Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Minecraft

Hello one last time. My name is Marilla! And welcome to Ten Things You Didn’t Know About – oh wait, my true name must never be spoken. Hello there! My name is [MODEM SOUND VARIATION 3582] and welcome to Ten Things You Probably

Didn’t Know About The End. Wait….but not the end of this series, right? [TEN] Just like this series, The End wasn’t initially designed to be bleak and horrible. It was originally going to be a sky dimension! But when we we were trying to figure out how the

Sun would work in a floating sky dimension, it was drastically hurting the game’s performance. So we realised it would be way easier if we just got rid of the sun. (Screams) And so the nightmare that is The End was born. Totally understandable design choice. Everything in life would be

Better if we got rid of that sun, the stupid overrated orange orb! For example: having trouble sleeping? Just get rid of the sun! [NINE] Did you know the Endstone texture [Drumroll Sound] is just an inverted tinted Cobblestone texture? [Cricket sounds] Oh cool! I didn’t know there were crickets in Minecraft! [EIGHT]

We still can’t believe how many awards this series won. Zero. But if we had won an award, it would have been for revealing this amazing Minecraft fact: the game has a secret musical ending! Did you know that if you defeat the Ender Dragon with nine noteblocks in your hot bar,

Then you unlock the secret ending, where Jens raps over the end credits! Take it away, Jens! [Jens] Hello, this is Jens Bergensten, beloved Chief Creative Officer at Mojang, and I’m here to ask you to stop watching this video. It’s all lies! And what wasn’t lies, you already knew!

For the last ten months, this terrible show has slandered my good name. Just look at this! [Jens] If you love Minecraft, then I beg of you, never watch another episode of this again. Frankly, I deserve some respec – [SEVEN]

Did you know that all the blocks in The End feel pain? Here, let’s turn up the sound a bit. [Sounds of crying] We even released this educational album to try and stop you mining down there. [Sounds of crying] [SIX] Since adding The End to Minecraft, we’ve never given it a substantial update

Because all our developers are too scared to go down there and update it. [Developer] Uhhh…anyone want to update The End? [Sound of crying] Wow, what a bunch of cowards! [Offscreen] What’s that now? They’re watching this episode? And get a say in whether we get a second series? [FIVE]

And now, a brief In Memoriam segment, in tribute to the surprisingly high amount of people we lost making this series. Steve. Steve. Steve. Steve. Steve. And Steve. Me. Me. Me. And me. I think I’m gonna miss me most of all. No offence, Steve. [FOUR]

“The End” might seem like a slightly humdrum title for such an important location in Minecraft, but it ‘s actually a clever anagram! One that hides a secret message. Re-arrange the letters like this. Have you spotted the secret message yet? It’s easy!

Just add the letters C, O, G, R, A, T, U, L, A, T, I, O, N, S, a comma, Y, O, U, V, C, O, M, P, L, E, T, E, M, I, N, E, C, R, A, F and T! Pretty obvious in hindsight. [THREE] This might be our very last episode.

So here’s an exclusive preview of our brand new idea for a series, Ten Things Our Lawyers Wouldn’t Let Us Tell You About Minecraft! Uhhh….. (sigh). [TWO] You might have noticed this episode contains fewer facts than usual. Okay, it’s not much worse than usual. But that’s because of my retirement chip.

Once I reveal a certain number of facts, my purpose will be complete, and the chip will activate, retiring me forever. And, well, I’m not ready to go yet. (Sniffles) So here’s another outright lie about Minecraft. You’re welcome! [ONE] When we added the Ender Dragon to Minecraft, one of our developers made it indecisive.

It’d keep changing its mind, whether to go attack Endermen, go sit on a portal, or simply fly away. Problem is, because the dragon would endlessly cycle between these three options without picking one, it kind of ended up looking like it was dancing.

Okay, that may not look like much of a dance, but that’s just because it needs a sick beat behind it. Let’s watch it to my favourite album. [Jens] Yo to the yo-yo. My name is Jens and I’m here – Wait! No! Stop! Guys, that actually happened. Like that is an actual fact.

No! Nooooo Oh! I’m not dead! That’s nice. [Obsolete Computer] Well done. You have successfully given the human race enough Minecraft facts to potentially prevent the squid uprising. Speech! Speech! [Obsolete Tech Crowd] Speech! Speech! Um, okay. To everyone who watched this show, from the bottom of my heart, thank you SO much for watching.
