Disturbing Minecraft Alpha Footage You've Never Seen

The clip you just watched comes from a channel called Old Minecraft Reuploads, a sizable Minecraft channel that claims to reupload videos from 2010 and 2011. There are only nine videos. Each of which looks totally normal on the surface, but upon deeper inspection, these nine videos hold. one of the most cryptic and

disturbing

Minecraft mysteries on YouTube, but to understand it we have to start with the video. A tour of Minecraft Bas. The video starts normally. Evidently it's a game from an older Alpha version of Minecraft 1.1.2 with some music playing as our unnamed protagonist walks around his house, nothing out of the ordinary until we get to the mind when the player leaves his house, suddenly the screen turns black, all its elements have disappeared and only half a heart remains.

The video then resumes as if nothing had happened. happens, but just before it ends we get this really

disturbing

scene, footsteps running towards our player and a flash of blue legs for a singular frame before the video cuts to black. Even more, speed racing wasn't added to the game until the beta, whatever that is. I couldn't have been a player, but I'm getting ahead of myself. There are a few more details we need to look into before we try to uncover the story of this video. It's tagged in the description with an archive date of September 20, 2010, original description none and a current description a base I built when I started playing looking back it's bad enough there weren't even beds yet so I had to using wool, there is no mention of the strange quirks we noticed throughout the video, there are also subtitles, something we don't do.

I don't see anything in the other uploads, but the subtitles are missing in 014, we get a 028, we get uh, and the strangest thing of all, in 1130, we understand you, these subtitles are strange, the first two don't seem to mean anything other than the last. One could definitely be significant: Could the U be the entity we see in the final seconds? Is our protagonist familiar with it? We can't know yet, but it's actually the music that poses the most immediate mystery, but for that to make any sense, I'll have to watch it again later because it's time to watch the video for TNT because this video is really nothing. special and for that reason alone it might be the most out of place: it's a fairly innocent montage of the Creator making TNT gunpowder and then bombing. of the mobs in your world, the only slightly disturbing part is the text that appears on the screen from time to time and the questionable choice of music which I can't play for copyright reasons, but except there's nothing to point out here , the date in the description places this video 2 days after the previous video and this time we have an original message from TNT putting revenge on the monsters of the night and a note from the Creator about the use of Windows Movie Maker that explains the text which this video does not give. a lot, but it will be useful later when we establish the different characters in the series, video number three really cool caves in Minecraft, the video starts with a tour of an interesting cave generation, nothing crazy until 18 seconds into the video where I take a look look at a silhouette, it's a player, it looks like that, but it's

never

recognized in the video, but this pales in comparison to what happens later, it's extremely creepy footsteps that happen when the player isn't even moving, something is in the When we play them, the breathing noise is actually an unused sound file that Mojang planned to add to the game but

never

did and from the menu screen we know that this world is single player, which makes the player's silhouette and breathing even more worrying again.

Get a date for this file 4 days after the previous one and an original description. Really cool and strange cave generation I found in Minecraft. There is no mention of The Oddities. This video, when combined with the first, makes it look like our player might be haunted by some kind of entity, but who and why video number four,

minecraft

secret walkthrough level, world like video 2, It's relatively normal, it's a sample of the old Minecraft tutorial world, the player explores, runs around, it's very quiet in 1 minute and 10 seconds, we see what could be a creepy vine. behind this door, but looking at the real world archive, what we see is probably just grass, so it's normal.

No, this video actually has the most problems and Easter eggs of almost any video, you just have to know where. To watch, the description places it a full month after the previous video, but more importantly we are introduced to another character, Legend of Anthony 721, who supposedly helped our protagonist make this world work. He is also randomly placed. I'm not sure I have no idea which one it is. The meaning is, but anyway, you might be confused what the strange part of this video is. Well, the Minecraft tutorial level was a world only released for the console edition of the game, it was never actually available in Java, there would be no reason to call this video a secret.

Unless it was intended to be played in Minecraft Alpha at the time of this video, it would have been impossible to press the play tutorial world button, so we can somehow assume that Anthony managed to get his hands on this tutorial level world. secret and gave it to him. to his friend and that's what we're seeing, we get more weirdness as the video progresses, the moment our player appears in the text in the chat, he strangely reads the work in progress, almost as if this world It wasn't meant to be public yet, which makes sense. because it wasn't and we know this work in progress is intentional.

Take a look at the animation of the text fading out. The box around the text looks heavily edited. This text was not part of the game, but something the video creator added. As they wanted us to see it, they wanted to make it clear that this tutorial world was still a work in progress and there are more inconsistencies. The Minecraft sign in the video doesn't look at all like the real one in the tutorial world, even in the first iteration the brown and black sheep wouldn't exist until beta 1.2. The birch trees would also not exist until then and the motorized rails in the trolley system and the paintings in the castle are apparently missing from the world we see in the video.

Take into account. The

footage

you're seeing on the left is from the first released version of the Minecraft tutorial world, and this isn't actually the only time we've

seen

unreleased features in these videos. Remember the breathing files from before, even in the first video we watched. I already have a hint of some time manipulation shenanigans, the song playing in part of the video is Mouse on Venus, my favorite from the Minecraft soundtrack, but a song that wasn't added until post-Alpha 1.2. the one the video creator was playing. These inconsistencies are either intentional or simply mistakes of the ARG Creator, well obviously there's no way to know for sure, but I think there are too many inconsistencies for them to be accidental.

Somehow our friend Anthony has access to features that don't exist yet, but we're not even halfway through the series it's time to talk to Anthony face to face. The video titled another is the fifth video on the channel, but the description reveals that it is actually the oldest video recorded so far, 6 days before the Minecraft base tour. It consists of random images. There was a friend and I chatting on a slightly corrupted server, as you can see from the quality of this video, we finally get a name for our golden protagonist Mario 982, the conversation is between him and Anthony, the

itself is corrupted. and boring but the dialogue between the two is very interesting I hope things went better I haven't improved at all honestly I still feel totally fine I hope things get better I don't know if that's really it Bad, but I'm starting to worry.

Courtship and then cuts to the final frame of the video. It's also suspicious. It's not where Mario was when he cut the video. It's a completely different take, without hearts or similar elements. cut to Minecraft Bas tour the real mystery of this video is obvious, although what happened to Anthony when I first saw the video I thought he was sick. Hope you are better. I feel terrible. I'm starting to worry about everything I might. You can tell if Anthony was suffering from some kind of illness, but that's not the only possible explanation, it could be guilt for some reason or another, maybe Anthony did something bad and he feels guilty, he doesn't know if what he did was that bad. . but he is starting to worry, this also explains the last message somewhat.

Mario starting to write IW is almost definitely the start of I would, which implies some kind of recommendation in my mind, at least it makes more sense for Mario to say this and give advice. about what he would do if Anthony had done something wrong and he wasn't sure what to do himself, not if he was sick, but with this evidence alone it's too ambiguous to make a clear verdict on what happened to him, but luckily there are four more videos . that we can analyze and these are by far the most sinister the video of the construction of the Minecraft castle is supposedly from November 3, 2010 4 days after the secret tutorial of a world it should be noted that this video was sent to Gold Mario by Anthony like this that the gameplay you are seeing comes from Anthony himself, the video begins with Anthony simply building a castle as usual, however when he opens his inventory, his skin is Pitch Black, he continues building but his attention seems to be fixed on a strange hole in a corner of your world when you go to explore it, you enter the menu to presumably turn off your music, since it says save and exit the title.

We know this is a single-player world, so nothing should happen while he's paused in the menu, but instead of nothing, we're. Upon encountering this scene, the fog approaches him and between the two menu buttons we see a dark silhouette entering the frame while sounds of block placement are heard at the beginning. I thought they looked like the arms of a villager, although it may be a tag with his name on it. over a player's head, I'm honestly not sure, but since he can place blocks, Anthony is definitely not alone in a player's world, something watches him unfazed.

Anthony explores the hole, he comes across a tunnel that looks very man made and as he explores further he comes across skeletons, this may not seem like much but this is yet another anomaly: the skeletons are holding his bow like a 3D model, something which wouldn't be added to the game until the beta in Alpha, when Anthony was playing, it would look like this, but The creepiest part of the video definitely happens when Anthony approaches the end of the cave again. Whatever it is, this isn't human, he shouldn't be able to run let alone be in a single player world.

Anthony pillars himself out of the hole and seals it. with Cobble returning to his castle and hiding in the corner of a heart, evidently Shook Up. This is probably the same entity that jumped on Mario in the first video, stalked him in the cool Cave Generation video, and watched Anthony while it changed your settings, but again, why? What do we want? Well, to finally get to the bottom of this mystery, we need to investigate the last three videos. Anthony's video was recorded just 2 days after the meeting. It's from the perspective of Golden Mario opening up Anthony's world and exploring it for him. makes the description even more sinister subscribe subscribe ok if you are enjoying the video then consider subscribing it means a lot and I want to try to make more ARG video essay content like this so if you like it subscribing would help me a lot. ton and tell me I should keep making this style of video so thank you very much but no it doesn't say subscribe the description actually says delete it no this is not an original description like the previous videos this is a comment from today in day.

Mario makes it even creepier if you're curious how I know this is a POV note from Mario that he's playing in his second world safe file, implying that he got Anthony's world, but for the specter we'll get more definitive evidence. later in the video, so for now let's just dig into Mario appears exactly where Anthony left him, meaning the world hasn't been open since Anthony's encounter with the entity, meaning everything should be the same if you can't See where I'm going with all this. not the same Mario recovers his full health and approaches the hole. He tries to increase the render distance of him from Tiny, but for some reason he is stuck, he crawls through the hole until he reaches the caves and this entity has been busy despite this.

Being a single-player world that had no right to be modified, extensive tunnels have been dug into every surface of the cave, sometimes small and sometimes huge, and they are everywhere. This is also theFor the first time we see Mario wearing a red skin in all previous videos he has always been blue, perhaps it is because he is playing in Anthony's World, although the appearance change would not be added in two other versions of the game in Alpha 1.2. 2, in typical Mario style. The climax of this video occurs at the end. Mario places a torch. away for a second, the torch breaks and a cave sound sounds.

Mario, rightly scared, leaves the game, besides this absolutely torturous scare, that's all we have to work with with the disappearance of a torch. Clearly, something is tormenting the Anthony's World archive. Something Golden Mario now has to deal with. with also we have almost reached the point where we can start analyzing the entire series but there are still 4 minutes of content left two final episodes plus the video titled the other two has no date or description or anything looking at the version in the upper left corner I could be between August 23 and September 10, making it the first video in the series.

The video starts with a normal caving sequence until it cuts to the scene I showed you at the beginning of the video, the protagonist approaches a wall of fences in the middle of a stone void and the video ends but not before we get a glimpse of something. in the bottom left corner, random gibberish that then flashes into the text box in the bottom left. This is by far the most advanced and cryptic video in the series. The text at the bottom left is a Caesar cipher. way to decode messages by changing all the letters a certain number of letters, so in this case a becomes n b becomes o etc etc, the decoded message translates to you were never really the nicest person.

Anthony stopped lying to yourself and so is the player in the video. Anthony or it's Mario, there's no way to fully determine who it is we're looking at, although there is considerable evidence that it may be Anthony. Take a look at the quick access bar in the cave segment of the video, the tools are complete. On the left you can see the same setup in the Minecraft castle build. Anthony's point of view. All the other videos so far have the tools. On the right, this is how Golden Mario organizes his inventory. The only exception is for Anthony, where Golden Mario plays with tools. on the left, but remember that Mario is playing in a world that Anthony saved, which explains why the tools are where they are, so we can assume that this video is from Anthony's point of view, which makes the dialogue be even more confusing.

Who is insulting Anthony to his face? It's probably not Mario, is it the mysterious entity from before? What did Anthony do to deserve this? It is clear that he must have done something wrong, something that he can feel guilty about in another, but as to who is this entity that seeks revenge. about him, that's still a mystery, let alone how he has access to Minecraft features that haven't been released yet. Mechanics that should not be possible in the game. The location of this video is also extremely strange. I mean, there's no way you can do it casually. find this in your Minecraft world, it feels silly to just step over this giant expanse like it's normal when it definitely isn't, this whole fence gate could even be symbolic, although that might be a bit of a stretch, it might may not be a real scene from a Minecraft World, but is instead representative of an event in Anthony's life, mind or Consciousness or perhaps it is representative of Anthony being somewhere off limits, in some guarded place where It shouldn't be there, but if there is symbolism in this giant wall of wooden fences, it escapes me and me.

I'll leave it to you in the comments, but to solve this mystery there is still one last video to watch which is, of course, the most recent video. Minecraft Beta 1.1 mob Grinder a call back to the TNT paor, but unlike that one, this video is nothing. but normally it begins with a few seconds of conversation between Mario and Anthony. The conversation shows Mario telling Anthony to erase his world saying that he found something very wrong. This is presumably the world where we saw the construction of the Minecraft castle, but when the game loads into something. otherwise it is a mistake the tools are on the left and when we glimpse Mario's skin it is red this is Anthony's world it is Anthony sa file the one I am going to record could be a reference to this world so instead of the castle that The title of the video for Anthony makes a lot more sense in the context of the conversation we just saw: Anthony ships Castle and Mario records a video for Anthony, but it could also reference this world where Anthony just sent Mario.

We don't know the mafia. The grinding continues for almost 2 minutes until the video cuts out and suddenly Mario is in a heart and a half in the middle of a cave, obviously terrified, he hears a cave noise and some footsteps in the dirt, he is in Stone, However, we know something is happening. In the world with him, run outdoors to find the mafia everywhere. Clearly, something must have happened in a killing spree. Panicked, Mario flees to his basement where he, trembling, climbs into a mine cart and drives away from it when he reaches the end of the track. he hides in the safe house, it seems empty, but the moment he turns around, the Entity locks him in the room and Mario once again flees, perpetually trying to escape the demon that follows him.

There are a few more things to point out here. The most obvious is the time Anthony looked away from the stairs until the moment the blocks were placed. The entity crossed this entire distance in a single second. He is not a normal player. You have full control over the game. Another potential detail is that This could be the same world we saw in the video, plus the giant mountains we see in that video and the ones we see here for a split second could line up, although what that means is up in the air. , but the most interesting thing is the description of this video. places it a month and a half after the previous one, this should be immediately strange if the conversation Mario and Anthony were having refers to the video of the four Anthonys, why would they have it a whole month after that experience took place and we know They're having it now because we can see that Anthony is writing, so what's up with the time jump?

Instead, do they refer to this world? Now that we've watched all the videos, we can try to put all the information together to form a coherent story of what we're doing. I've witnessed Anthony do something morally wrong, as demonstrated by two others, something he feels really guilty about and is worried he might get worse, as he told Mario in another, but what did he do? He bullied a child and is now tormenting his game? plausible, but there is no reason to think that what the objective facts say is that there is someone in the Mario and Anthony games who should not be there, someone with unnatural speed and superhuman powers, and furthermore, there are features of the game that do not have been released or implemented yet, my theory is that Anthony somehow managed to get his hands on leaked Minecraft game files, in-progress tests of worlds and mechanics he shared with Mario, things in development that weren't intended for the public, so Therefore, they are off-limits and closed. area he is about to break into two others this is the moment where he steals the files and guilt begins he tells Mario that he feels horrible but unbeknownst to him there is an entity protecting those versions of Minecraft an entity that is part of Minecraft apparently giving superhuman powers to an entity that is now stalking his worlds and tormenting him, so he sends it to Mario to take a look, causing it to invade his game, as well as an entity that, in case It's worth something, he has never killed Anthony or Mario despite leaving them on fire. half a heart many times why doesn't he kill them he definitely definitely has the power to do it because he doesn't need it he just wants to scare them the purpose of this entity is to protect these leaked versions of Minecraft and he doesn't want Mario and Anthony are playing with them so he tries scare them away from the game by stalking them from a distance, leaving them in Half a Heart, scaring them when they're not looking, breaking their torches, and killing all the animals around them by breathing. in their caves and chasing them around the world, he wants to scare them away from what they stole, he doesn't want them to play, that's why Mario tries to get revenge on the mobs in TNT pon and the mob grinder, he thinks he is against this guy . of the spirit of Minecraft, so he is counterattacking the mobs against Minecraft itself to get revenge, but unfortunately his efforts are not enough.

The Entity is too powerful and drives Mario and Anthony to continue fleeing the game forever just as he wants, but this. The conclusion is relatively speculative and there are still many loose ends left to be desired. What does it mean to be unsure in the Minecraft World secret theory level description? What is the fence space in other two? Why are there month-long breaks between files and what? is the real point of TNT ponor given that the channel description says videos from 2010 and 2011 but we only see videos from 2010, it seems like this ARG has been abandoned by the Creator but who knows we can hope that maybe one day they decide log in.

Come back and finish the ARG, but in the meantime, the case of old Minecraft reloads will remain a perpetual mystery. Thank you for keeping the peace. Have a good trip. See you next time.
