"For the longest time, this was my final interaction with [6]. Funny how 12 years later, we're now here trying to figure this out."
"Thanks to the hub system, [0] could use my worlds. From what I can tell, he liked my world so much as to use it in promotional material, such as what you've seen in [Presentation]."
- "That's exactly the case."
"[0] just picked a random world listed on the hub server, and yours happened to be the one."
"Takes a lot of the mystery out of it, I know."
"This isn't something [0] made me do. I just thought it was right."
- "Wow"
"That really was very insensitive of me at the time, but in my defense, I didn't want to get on [0]'s bad side. Not that it excuses me in the first place."
"Never thought I'd hear from any of you ever again."
"But now that the dust's settled, I can let you in on something."
"After our team was shut down, [0] moved on with another team to work on [16.06]. What happened with [16.06], we can only guess, at least until we find someone who's worked on it."
"Out of all the branches, [16.05] was the most open to the public- We even had a few open tests."
"My point is, [16.04], [16.06] and anything before and after these, were nothing like that. That's why if you weren't an insider, you would know nothing. We're not gonna find out anything until people affiliated with these versions come forward."
"One thing I learnt from a [16.04] developer is that [Nametag players] were real people. They weren't AI controlled."
"We just didn't know who they were, but now, I think I have an idea on what caused it."
"There was nothing out of place in the server logs. It just looked like any other player connecting."
"Except, some of them logged in with a proper developer certificate file."
"This may be a bit of a stretch, but hear me out."
"What if they're developers of previous versions?"
"Think about it."
"They spend time working on a project, and then [0] shuts it down and opens another with a different team. Not that they'd know it, of course."
"Consider this: they still have the certificates, they can take control of the server."
"The problem is, they'd need to know how the server works."
"But if what [1 from 16.04] said was real,"
"That freelancer"
"[16.04] had one, and so did [16.05]"
"What if they're the same person?"
"This is definitely something to consider"
"We also need to address something everyone wants to see."
"Version [Cypress], which up to this point you knew as R4 will (hopefully) soon be publicly released."
"The reason this is taking a long time, is because the only thing that remained from R4 were outputs from our internal obfuscation programs."
"This isn't ideal considering we need to patch out all of the network functionality that's preventing the whole thing from launching."
[...]
"It's not too big a deal now. Water under the bridge and all"
"It's really weird to look back at everything I did."
"It’s been ten years and I gotta admit, this whole time I thought it was really fun doing [that], and I just wanted to screw around"
"It’s just a Minecraft world, you don’t need to apologize"
Comments
11/06/2023 @levisjammin: Right off the bat I was like "dude why don't we have a painting menu in actual Minecraft"
11/06/2023 @Mate_Antal_Zoltan: why do Minecraft ARGs have to have actual good and fun features?
same thing with The Bottom of the Void, custom music discs would be fucking sick
11/06/2023 @harmonicpsyche8313: For me this whole series has been "dude why don't we have [feature] in actual Minecraft?!" The glowing flowers, nebula-sun, broken moon, and the sky fire-crystals are sick as fuck and I wish we got those
11/06/2023 @Mr.ForgeMan: @harmonicpsyche8313 when some of these ARGs features are more vanilla-like than features we got in new minecraft versions🗿
11/06/2023 @uppishcub1617: I like that the entire lore of this boils down to essentially discord drama, but in minecraft.
11/06/2023 @nomenomeha30anosatras33: not only that but as a whole story for you to unlock new parts of the mod
11/06/2023 @solace2731: and this is what makes it one of the best args imo, is not some dumb supernatural shit, is a big dev beef that resulted in the end of the project, and we are seeing it with our own eyes
11/06/2023 @solace2731: also like how the world reflects it, like you can clearly see the game getting more and more crazy and strange as the devs fight more
11/06/2023 @AlexanTheMan: The sheer beliavability adds to the thriller-esque thematic. While everyone at the time was watching popular icons like CaptainSparklez or the Yogscast, this whole RD "Conspiracy" was unfolding in the shadows
11/06/2023 @rwall514: Imagine if this was distributed more publicly. Imagine the Yogscast reacting to Lilypad.
11/06/2023 @Doneycats: I had almost this exact conversation between warring Mods once.
ORBL is a relatable character.
11/06/2023 @scares009: dev1 did a very good job delivering their one and only line
11/06/2023 @Greenfly39: "6 what the actual fuck" - dev1, 2010
AlSo WhEn GaMeCuBe bIoS CoRrUpTiOnS EpIsOdE 69 CoMInG OuT?????/
11/06/2023 @scares009: @Greenfly39 I'm gonna die one day and there will still be people coming to my grave asking for BIOS corruptions
11/06/2023 @burufeza: Im crying rn 💀
11/06/2023 @ztoshgd: @scares009 lmaoo
11/06/2023 @unquestionableexistance8704: He has such a way with words
11/06/2023 @Shea7TDM: @scares009 you can never escape the little kids asking for a new bios video, even through the comments of a Minecraft alpha arg.
11/06/2023 @exterra4378: What the hell is this?
11/06/2023 @counter18591: @scares009 you can literally never escape the kids
I made like 4 bios corruptions videos in 2016 when I was trying to "get big on youtube" ig
and to this day I am still being haunted by the occasional comment that pops up from time to time begging me to make a new one
11/06/2023 @toahnailor: It’s rare when you catch an epic lore video after just 12 mins of posting
11/06/2023 @Tom_HopeCore: yeah im 15 minutes after
11/06/2023 @Internetuser435: Same. I think I was 25 minutes later
11/06/2023 @franandwood14: 38 for me
11/06/2023 @the_cat_the_cat: i randomly thought of this series again an hour or two ago for like the first time in a few months and just now i went to check the channel
a Little odd
11/06/2023 @jacobwilks9204: Even more lore in the description...
There's a 1.0.16.06.
Also that explains the version number was 1.0.16.04 in ????. It was an earlier version.
All that said, it's cool how you can choose the painting in 1.0.16.05
11/06/2023 @ThePLONY: 2 days for me
11/06/2023 @m1ves: Im a little bit late, 6 days to be exact lol
11/06/2023 @user-xz2kw3by8y: 7 days
11/06/2023 @Fog799: 1 month 💀
11/06/2023 @5uperM: We barely start the video and I'm already questioning what's going on.
11/06/2023 @jonny11bonk: Probably some arguments between the devs in the early dev. Maybe we will soon get the trailer.
11/06/2023 @Phil564: @jonny11bonk we already have the trailer, it's the e3 presentation thing
11/06/2023 @jacobwilks9204: @Phil564 ORBL said "I thought I didn't give you permission to use my world" in E3 Presentation.
11/06/2023 @bodaciousfallacious275: I wonder what Dev1 was doing on his roof
11/06/2023 @hannahfbr: Making an entrance
11/06/2023 @SuperDLOC: @Hugo of course 😂
11/06/2023 @bodaciousfallacious275: @Hugo as Saul goodman said, “ Why can’t you just do it at home like the rest of us?!?”
11/06/2023 @jacobwilks9204: Top Ten Anime Plot Twists, Number 1: dev1 is Santa Claus
11/06/2023 @grosezero8834: that part where Orble and dev6 talk is so cinematic just them in silence with some quiet water its so somber
11/06/2023 @MIITRIN: The trailer they’re referring to is probably the video “Presentation”
11/06/2023 @AlexanTheMan: It is
11/06/2023 @ItzStardustYT: Completely random but in this video compared to the past few, the performance has jumped from ~40fps avg to 120. Must be a new PC or settings change cause it's the same version as the last video.
Adds 0 value to lore but was just thinking about it
11/06/2023 @neoqwerty: Watch, it WILL be significant, I bet, some way or another
11/06/2023 @hannahfbr: Presentation was also at at least 60 fps; maybe it’s something to do with orbl being present?
11/06/2023 @Loublud: It’s orbles pov so he probably has a better PC.
11/06/2023 @Kykof: Even though this is an ARG, 2010 sure was an amazing time to be alive.
11/06/2023 @sofia_darksoul: i agree.
i borned in 2009
11/06/2023 @Loublud: @sofia_darksoul So you have no memory of the 2010's..
11/06/2023 @sofia_darksoul: @Loublud that was sarcasm xD
11/06/2023 @niol_vserio: Yes, also playing roblox as Guest
11/06/2023 @Kykof: @niol_vserio Huh?
11/06/2023 @hiphyro: @Kykof no they've got a point lol
11/06/2023 @Kykof: @hiphyro I mean, I was never a guest, and I've been on that dreadful platform since 2011, so I honestly don't know, if there is anything nostalgic/special about that.
11/06/2023 @funnypeashootercreature: is... everyone gonna ignore that they got a paintings UI to choose what painting you wanna choose instead of vanilla minecraft's RNG? legit, why isnt that feature on vanilla yet?!
08/06/2024 @Lou-yf1jo: we should never have that. it's NOT right
11/06/2023 @Skitts_: For some reason the last sentence of the description: “It’s just a Minecraft world. You don’t need to apologize” hots really hard. It brings tears to my eyes for some reason
11/06/2023 @HighCalibr: Dang if only we could select a painting on placement...
11/06/2023 @SaintDane: The devs entered Orbl's world randomly in [Presentation] video aka Trailer, and he said in the chat that he "didn't give [0] permission to use his world". That's why [0] has a grudge against him because they used it anyway and got bad footage due to Orbl's interference.
11/06/2023 @jacobwilks9204: Lore!
11/06/2023 @razi_man: That story was pretty heartwarming.
11/06/2023 @Imthecoolguy6: “6 what the actual fuck”
11/06/2023 @EbolaGranola: dev1 fell from the ceiling..... perhaps off some stairs we cannot see? hm..... . . ill have to look more into this,,,, ,...
11/06/2023 @Overposting: id honestly love for this arg to be actually real and for me to be one of the characters irl because playing this seems cool af
11/06/2023 @llamascheese8972: Pretty sure one of the jar files contains information on the "mod" (or "Version") featured in the videos.
Not what you wanted, but it gets you closer to your goal of being part of the story.
11/06/2023 @Overposting: @llamascheese8972 yeah i know that you can actually play some of this stuff which is awesome
its just that the vibe this videos give make me want to be part of the universe its kinda comfy even though its supposed to be creepy/weird
11/06/2023 @sofia_darksoul: oh, its not real? :(
and what its an arg? sorry, im not english
11/06/2023 @Overposting: @sofia_darksoul an arg is an "alternate reality game". basically these videos tell a story from the first person, making it seem like a real thing. its like a found footage movie (ex: the blair witch project)
11/06/2023 @v1tam1n_C: I honestly hope that everything thats in this series gets released as a mod cause that would be EPIC
11/06/2023 @Papapsoso: It already has. They found the code for the version
11/06/2023 @Papapsoso: @Project VλNCE it’s not a mod, it’s actually it’s own game
11/06/2023 @Papapsoso: @Project VλNCE on some website you gotta type in a password but idk what it’s called
11/06/2023 @Labissbrr: Ok straight up new options,dev6 and dev1 are in a fight,there was some stuff on the screen so might have a code or a secret message or a password and a lot more that I'm to new to find
11/06/2023 @TriQuarterStudios: "6 what the actual fuck" LMAO
11/06/2023 @Keygentlemen: goodbye
11/06/2023 @grosezero8834: I love this cool very subtly creepy narrative but i love that its also like "Hey wouldnt it be cool if minecraft was like this instead"
11/06/2023 @AntonVShokolov: Babe wake up, new Minecraft Alpha 1.0.16 Versions video
11/06/2023 @SeaDoge13: What a great job. I just got into this by a random YT recommend and whoever the person(s) behind this keep storytelling. The world you've created is far more interesting then any DC/Marvel movie👏😀
11/06/2023 @hannahfbr: I visited this channel earlier today thinking “it’s got to nearly be time for another video”. Lo and behold:
11/06/2023 @ToxikBox:
Uhmmm... Awkward!!!!
11/06/2023 @viziG0th1: erm….. he’s right behind me isn’t he???

11/06/2023 @Exorcist2005: these people do a great job at this arg but thank you for making this, i could watch this and talk about it forever and never get bored
11/06/2023 @Kandah: Should've just picked Bird for the painting
11/06/2023 @BayanKebab: This thing's textures actually looks a lot like 'Adventurecraft' mod textures.
11/06/2023 @Cool_Kid95: CHOOSING my painting?! WHEN THE LILYPAD IS BETTER THAN MODERN MINECRAFT.
11/06/2023 @adarts2025: The description is better than any other books that I’ve ever read
11/06/2023 @zhangtthew: got a jumpscare when i was looking through my subscriptions tab and found this uploaded. a good surprise, nonetheless.
