Minecraft has always felt like a movie game with no updates and versions it has felt less empty with the addition of villagers villagers and many other types of animals and Mobs Minecraft feels way more lively but back in Alpha Minecraft it has a much more unsettling feeling to it Villagers were added until beta 1.9 pre-release not even counting when pillagers were at it as well there were there were animals roaming around the world but those were the only things stopping you from complete wilderness when you spot in it’s your first tree mine some Cobblestone and build a small Hut you always have that sneaking suspicion like you’re not alone like someone has been watching you do all this for the past 30 minutes you think nothing of it and go mining the darkness is lit up by your torches all the silent until ground panicked even though it’s just an Audiophile it’s still very unsettling why does Minecraft feel so lonely why does it feel so eerie going back up from your cave you feel something is off the only comfort being the music playing in the background your render distance is too low because your computer will explode if it was too high When we fog going in the area you start making normal tools uh what the hell your mind trembles going outside your house to fall to figure your soul your heart starts pounding your palms gets sweaty walk closer until oh for [ __ ] yeah it was just a sheep who would have Guessed there’s nothing really in Minecraft that can be considered war or like in a horror element it’s mostly just a feeling you get when you’re playing completely alone yes there are maps and texture packs that make the game scarier but mainly just vanilla Minecraft is where you’re experience This type of loneliness this type of unsettling feeling foreign usually when most of Gamers play video games that is is why you would be experiencing this feeling you’re alone in a dark room who who may know what’s lurking behind you even for me if Minecraft has had at Least this kind of unsettling feeling to it even when talking to friends or listening to music I’ve always felt like something was there it’s like every other nine-year-old at the time think it was just affected I was really into Old Minecraft Creepypastas such as like Herobrine and like all those scary [ __ ] things you know but that really gave me light into this whole Minecraft is scary while being alone feeling but let’s fully dive into what I think really makes this feeling real please note that I’m talking about Alpha and maybe some of the beta versions on Minecraft anything released after the official Release of 1.0 will not be mentioned unless being compared anyway let’s get into this let’s start by mentioning the atmosphere of the game just the emptiness of it all Minecraft Alpha is much more Barren than its beta and release counterparts The Limited number of mobs and blocks really Adds to that feeling also the low render distance oh no but maybe hiding past that the fog and just the unsettling feeling to me the low render dances but also a big Herobrine thing if you don’t know who Herobrine is if you don’t you kind of need help let me Introduce you to our Infamous friend Herobrine was one of the first Creepypastas to come out of early Minecraft being the main inspiration from Minnie to come the main premise was simple a player started playing noticed weird stuff their world no Herobrine and that was that but the way they use row low render Distance is a very interesting concept the reason why old Minecraft photos is usually seen with really low rendered this is that players don’t really have the computers to people who were running far render distance as we do today rather than using this plot point for uh this feeling was really thought out The low rendered distance makes with the emptiness of the world really adds to that I’m not alone Factor we haven’t seen any mobs forever let’s let’s use another example was edited in Minecraft Alpha version 1.0.3 adding a new level creepy disk Game Zone only appearing periodically it Really adds to the horror elements that lie within these old Minecraft versions let’s use another game that uses Ambience to make the world feel more kind of creepy Garry’s Mod or Gmod is a game that runs in the source engine in some maps such As GM big city it plays audio of a city people chatting Cars Moving just to play normal City Life there’s no one there it’s all you and only you yes you can spawn stuff and spawn in NPCs some shitty Little Neck spots or whatever but you still always be the only person there I think that sound design aspect of like say Minecraft or Gary’s Mod it was like really adds to that slight amount of horror in a game that they didn’t really mean to add but it’s still there I think that’s a really interesting thing to add sound design to add to your Game and add that little bit of horror element the release of Minecraft Alpha version 1.0.14 came to a new music discs at n13 without being a happy sounding song and 13 wow take a listen [Applause] A little creepy for a game like this what did you think the strict team was described on Minecraft Wiki as a somewhat unsettling cave-themed ambient piece consisting of mostly echoed synthesized ambient sounds that closely resembled those played in The Game’s cave resonating metallic clanks in quiet wind blowing Just imagine you’re playing with one of your little goofy friends and they just start playing this when you’re deep inside some random cave oh multiplayer wasn’t added until Alpha 1.0.15 three months after release of music disc 13. so if this this randomly just came laying when you’re playing the New Minecraft update you might want to like leave run never come back it’s like an ambient music disc was added to the game was music disc 11. out of 426 days after music disc 13 in Minecraft Beta 1.9 re-release 2. you must refer the official release on Minecraft 11 wasn’t really much of as random sounds like this 13 and it said more of something like this foreign Foreign foreign to describe how I felt first listening to this my brother thought it was funny and put headphones on me play this and lock me in the room with the family computer while it played I couldn’t really uh sleep for days after that happened and I still hold a grudge ever since This disc has been called many things I must remember me and other people calling it The Herobrine tape because we all thought it was Herobrine and stuff because like I don’t know some random person walking thinking flint and Steals and all of that we’re like 10 okay Though beta 1.9 wasn’t as empty as Alpha days it’s still a creepy addition nonetheless making all this information to an account the low render distance the happy vlog black and mobs the Creepypasta Rumors in the disc I think these really made Minecraft unsettling to the mask during this time I like going back sometimes and experiencing this even though I still it kind of freaks me out even though I know that there’s nothing there that thought still just lingers in the back of my head Minecraft had gotten rid of this feeling for the most part the addition of case And cliffs and the more massive caves you’re gonna be too many mobs around and stuff for you to really focus in on what’s going on For you to get distracted of what made it working in a Darkness but once you get time to think about everything stuff it gets really unsettling you reached into one of those dark skinny caves you keep digging and digging to find something new but nothing appears you turn around and Start walking up you hear something and stop what was that you think to yourself we have no time to think as it approaches from behind it’s soft but steps along the stone flooring there’s no time to react oh my God [ __ ] damn it was a creeper God [ __ ] this game [ __ ] sucks I hate it hey uh thanks for watching uh this took longer than I thought it would because I am the most unvaded unmovated unmotivated [ __ ] unmotivated person be person on the planet so yeah it took a bit you can kind of tell the editing Kind of went down towards the end of the video I just kind of wanted to get it done and over with no I really had fun making this uh and I kept like on Twitter like oh I’m gonna post this soon I’m gonna post this I’m gonna post this dude I didn’t really uh here’s credits uh made made by me I didn’t have squid in it and that one profile picture so you know oh yeah uh thank you for watching it and yeah I I’ll see you uh next time when I feel like making another stupid video bye-bye Thank you Video Information
