"Minecraft Playstation Edition" is a game developed by Mojang Studios in the Year 1998 in a partnership with Sony Interactive Entertainment for the Playstation Console released in 1994, this game was a pre-cursor to the classic 'Minecraft' of 2009, although not many people are aware of it due to it being pulled from store shelves just a year after release with only a 1000 or so copies ever being sold, I was lucky enough to stumble upon a copy at a retro game store about a month ago, here's my experience with the title.
If you'd like to play the game yourself via emulation here's a link to a rom to download as finding a physical copy like myself is nearly impossible to do: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/mcsx-minecraft-ps1-edition
Thanks to xKazIsKooIx for ripping the game files to allow others to play the game
Any help to learn more about the game would be appreciated as I'm still learning about it myself and plan to continue my exploration into the title more on this channel

02/05/2024 @sakamocat: babe wake up, a new mc psx video just dropped
02/05/2024 @indigoguy12: Spoiler Warning!
When your fire alarm started beeping at the end gave me chills because that’s almost what happened during the beginning of the episode.
This probably means that whatever is in this game can affect real life

03/05/2024 @vvvelx_gamer: bro this is so cool reminds me of scp stuff
03/05/2024 @RavenGamingOverLord: @vvvelx_gamer Yeah that is what I was thinking too
02/05/2024 @brothermanbologna5260: Apparently The End in this version has tons of changes compared to other versions, now you might not be close to getting there yet but you should definitely keep it in the back of your mind cause it might just be the most interesting thing here.
nvm that was before I watched the whole way, I think his shit gets cooked by a housefire at the end of the video. If this has a continuation then yeah you’d better reach for The End before it’s too late
02/05/2024 @Heisnearonceagain: Context to the fire for those who dont know...
During a moment of Documentation 7, we get an encrypted youtube link in relation with an unlisted video. In this video, there is no voice from him, and he joins his world. He hears whispers and makes flint and steel. Then, he burns down the forest with the whispers intensifying and the screen turning a red hue, then the game crashes.
I have a theory that steve has a conscious, similar to the Mario from Super Mario 64 ARG by Greenio. The reason he experiences these noises and sights of herobrine and a bloodshot steve is because he is going insane, possibly leading to his character burning down the forest. Possibly this character doesnt want to be played, and thats why these are happening. Perhaps, maybe the game is normal, but the character is making the game the way it is. Which is probably why mojang kept this a secret, as they knew the things that happened through the eyes of the character. Also possibly why they are adding things back slowly, cautious of making the same mistake.
Just a theory
04/05/2024 @Rainy-48: But hey, that's just a theory.
04/05/2024 @Heisnearonceagain: @Rainy-48 A GAME THEORY
02/05/2024 @FrioTheDerg: This probably isn't the most helpful tidbit of information, considering all the events, but I believe that items with the "Void Floating" enchantment (Seen on the Diamond Chestplate that was dropped from the "Spawner Zombie" a few episodes back.) will "float" in they fall into the void, like say, in The End, which would prevent the loss of that item.
Alternatively, armor with "Void Floating" might make you.. float in the void..? Apply some sort of sudo-slow falling effect, I'd assume, or if you had a full set of armor enchanted with it, you'd gain some levitation effect for a brief bit, to give you a chance to recover.
02/05/2024 @that-nerdy-kid111: during the day's 5:31 it's happy and bright remembering the nostalgic joy's of Minecraft during
02/05/2024 @that-nerdy-kid111: or sumpin like that IDK
02/05/2024 @MrZilvis78: lol what a fire episode
05/05/2024 @orionscythe: very fire
02/05/2024 @MWMWMWMWMMWMWMWM: SPOILERS BELOW
Strange things that happened:
- the woods got on fire (2:19)
- strange sound coming down from the nether portal room and enchanting table (6:44) (unless im stupid and its trap door opening sound)
- the trap door sound plays by itself (7:11)
- the woods got on fire again (8:50)
- fire alarm starts playing (15:15)
- and the game crashes at the end :(
02/05/2024 @RyzesTechZone: Are those whispers starting to come back near the end of the episode? Little hard to hear over the alarm but maybe it wasn't quite a coincidence after the forest burned down....
02/05/2024 @s0n1cd3v: Definitely the most interesting exploration episode so far, not only we start with a wildfire with no apparent reason but there is also the fact that we see new behaviors to the phantom mob, that apparently can now pick up other mobs, there is also the find of the strange new cave, getting a new dog, not finding any cows, getting another enderpearl, and so much more! From what i see here on some other comments, there is also the fact of the enchantment acquired for stuff to float on the void, maybe it could be useful on the end dimension? There is loads of voids there…
Oh yeah, the end! I know you are still far from reaching the end right now, but I think you should focus on getting to there, because if the slip is anything to go by, it might be interesting to see how the end might look in this version of Minecraft!
PS: I hope that fire alarm heard at the end didn’t indicate a serious house fire, it would be absolutely terrible if you were in any real danger!
On a conspiracy theory topic, this can’t be just a coincidence, there is fire in the game and then a fire in your house, maybe the entity found on the game is gaining the ability to interact with the real world? I know it sounds crazy, but I would not put it past anything seeing how much weird stuff has been going on with this Minecraft version so far.
Anyways, I wish you the best of luck and I hope the fire wasn’t a very big deal, that there was no serious damage and that nobody was hurt, please take care!
02/05/2024 @Latte_n_Mocha: Your house door and trap door was opened during you trying to take down the fire, You can hear them both opening. 4:44
02/05/2024 @that-nerdy-kid111: the Minecraft "horror" trend often to in your face with other video's but with this series it's passive representing the fear's of mine craft the fear of the unkown
02/05/2024 @VictorAB2: The fact that this was posted at 3am
04/05/2024 @Rainy-48: This video is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🏠🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
02/05/2024 @eclibert17nordus84: If you listen closely like in 15:38 you will hear a familiar sound from a cursed object...
07/05/2024 @theunepicdude: Man. What are you using to capture this gameplay!
02/05/2024 @laslosermcuseless1574: Omg the game gets pissed of at you for not playing for a while? I guess that's one way of preventing that whole playing the game for a week and getting board people talk about.
However what seems to debunk this is that the ps1 doesn't have an internal clock. Events like this would be more based on play time? Rather than the animal crossing like system of things happening when you don't play.
If I had to guess as someone who hasn't played the game the logical explanation game play wise would be to roll for an event every time you boot or load the game. Probably with the odds of getting an event increasing with play time so that new players could get used to the game?
02/05/2024 @AzureGillsVEVO: not quite, look in my playlists
02/05/2024 @sporeham1674: @AzureGillsVEVO actual legend
02/05/2024 @lilsusboi89: !!!SPOILER BELOW!!!
I'm rather worried about the him, at the end when his fire alarm started blaring, I could hear coughing in the background shortly after he left his chair. Although the coughing could have been from the game, as it sounds identical to the coughing in Disk 11. Still, I hope the alarm either was a random glitch or (if he lives in an apartment), a downstairs/upstairs neighbor overcooking something in a microwave.
02/05/2024 @schmort.: i blame herobrine for the forest burning down, from a trusty source, i heard he likes arson.
02/05/2024 @brrooo97andaturtlekiwi39: What if the fire alarm was a metaphor from the forest burning?
02/05/2024 @nplsm: Honestly I appreciate the effort that you put into documenting this game, but as another person said I think it might start to affect the real world, here by triggering the fire alarm based on the huge forest fire from the start of the video, right now I hope you're okay but if minecraft starts doing more and more dangerous shit and start influencing real life more and more I think you might put yourself in huge danger. Stay safe
02/05/2024 @hermanogjacks9296: Is this like petscop just for minecraft💀
08/05/2024 @Benefard: The only difference is that it's playable by the viewers and doesn't have weird AI training
