Final Hours

Series of videos related to the server closure at the end of 2011. [0] wanted everyone to forget about the project and wipe it from the web, so a lot of the files and videos that got uploaded to YouTube did not stay up for long. That link in the description mentioned in the tutorial was gone within less than 3 days. If it wasn't for us, this project would probably never go "public" at all, even if only for a short time and to a smaller community. I feel like a lot of the decisions he made (like keeping everything private until everything was done) were completely due to his insecurities, which ultimately made him shut everything down, further fueled by the fact that by this point 1.0.0 had been released, while he was still stuck with the alpha codebase. Even if the rest of the team wasn't on the best terms with him, we still wanted this project to go somewhere, and so did the community.

• 01/25/2025 @theishiopian68: I love that a plot point is that their code is so consistently awful that anyone can hack it with simple tools, leading to a surprisingly dedicated community
• 01/27/2025 @youtubovekomenty6280: what is the name of the music in the backround at the start
• 01/25/2025 @therandomperson02: Still love that one of the recurring 16.05 players in this series is named DJ Piss
• 01/25/2025 @boladoytpmv: best dj out there
• 01/25/2025 @VIRTUALESENCE: i just realised what p155 meant
• 01/25/2025 @Cheato64: Well they are one of the people running the channel alongside MachineRage (dev6) and I think orbl, so they're a lot of footage from xorcist/djpiss.
• 01/25/2025 @MrRare2: oh my god, I thought this channel was dead until this upload came up
• 01/25/2025 @Azurlephy: Same tbh
• 01/25/2025 @sussygamer3581: just cooking
• 01/26/2025 @apro8723: same
• 01/26/2025 @4kiyotsu.0: i was literally watching a video from 2 years ago about this and searched it up and boom, a new video one day ago
• 01/27/2025 @youtubovekomenty6280: 😢Please guys do anyone of you know what is the music at the start of the vid.
• 01/28/2025 @puxicat0721: Same，LOL
• 01/25/2025 @shapeswitch_mood7221: Knowing that [0] had insecurities, it makes sense why this version had so many "spying" and tracking features. I guess the moral of the story is to not let insecurity take over you! ...Alternatively, don't let someone with insecurity take over a project lead.
• 01/25/2025 @Yegor_Mechanic: Yeah, makes sense
• 01/25/2025 @PhoenX279: why are you everywhere?
• 01/25/2025 @nerveswayHAHA: In all seriousness, this is probably the most bittersweet arg video ive ever seen. It gives alot but you still feel empty after watching it.
• 01/25/2025 @playervalley: i mean we did get a mod eventually （￣。。￣）
• 01/27/2025 @TrafficPartyHatTest: @playervalley yeah but, it does now sorta feel like playing a dead MMO, in my opinion
• 01/25/2025 @سباك-ش7ق: Alphaver finally acknowledged the fact that they need a recording software to record
• 01/25/2025 @KefkeWren: It's interesting how Dev 0 reacts to the one guy, banning them even though he's shutting everything down, as though them being there for the end would be just too much. Really speaks to just how bad his mental state was at that point.
• 01/25/2025 @ske2004: it feels a bit bittersweet, 2022-2023 were very special years for me and this ARG was a big part of it. it's not been that long but i'm struggling nowadays and this video brought back all the good memories ;_;
• 01/25/2025 @gel-pen-gel-drinker: it also confirms that more videos are yet to come. hehe
• 01/29/2025 @youseffahim4008: Smth interesting to point out is there was a video in this channel that showed footage in the year 2021 that had hub doors spawn (even though that is not supposed to happen) and a message says that if failed to connect to the servers. Someone might be trying to revive the project is my best guess. So this might not be the final video.
• 01/26/2025 @eviantopia: dont know if this is the final video, but if it is, I just want to say this ARG is personally one of the most creative I’ve ever seen done in the lost game genre. I can’t even find enough words to express how much I love it. if the creators can see this comment, i am looking forward to what you all will be doing in the future whether it be minecraft related or not. goodbye alphaver
• 01/26/2025 @gel-pen-gel-drinker: it isnt, as the final clip hints
• 01/26/2025 @gel-pen-gel-drinker: alongside a developer statement in Discord
• 01/25/2025 @toastedcherries: HELL yes
• 01/25/2025 @Nenerii: You goober
• 01/25/2025 @catmachine109: Hi maele
• 01/25/2025 @Ransomwave2: maple you've GYATT to cover the series now that it's over
• 01/25/2025 @catmachine109: @ Those who know:💀💀💀💀
• 01/26/2025 @gel-pen-gel-drinker: (its not over) ​@Ransomwave2
• 01/26/2025 @catmachine109:  @gel-pen-gel-drinker  oh yeah i forgot
• 01/25/2025 @stardy8131: I'm very glad this series is back and I hope whoever's working on it is doing better with their personal issues
• 01/25/2025 @GliYch: I'm guessing the ARG is over? If it is not, then I cannot wait for the next upload! Was really cool to see how the last, round about, 5 minutes looked like, from everyones perspective! If it really is over, then thank you for making this! It seemed to have its ups and downs, but all in all, it was really awesome and I really enjoyed playing those versions myself! Thank you!
• 01/26/2025 @jhonatan4063: I don't think it is over, because we still don't know about the ext16.04 versions (i think it was mentioned on the description of another video) and like, what these versions had? What happened to the devs of this other version? We probably still need to know a lot yet
• 01/26/2025 @TriggerzConnors: Your pfp makes me old
• 01/25/2025 @AndrewIdot: well, perhaps this truly was the hour of finality... dev0 stinks
• 01/29/2025 @kainakamura5027: Now we wait for Retro to make a video about this
• 01/25/2025 @wolfcl0ck: It is as people have said: All good things must come to an end.
• 01/26/2025 @gel-pen-gel-drinker: except its not the last video
• 01/26/2025 @tdfhd: holy shit wolfcl0ck
• 01/29/2025 @坽: holy shit wolfcl0ck
• 01/29/2025 @gel-pen-gel-drinker: as has been confirmed by gamerunners in both the wiki discord and the rgn discord (+, going by chronology, a video taken in 2021, whilst these only show up to 2014)
• 01/25/2025 @AlexanTheMan: We're in the endgame now
• 01/26/2025 @legendarydarkknight1715: nope bro
• 01/30/2025 @imp3rialis: I did not expect a new upload after a year, but it appears it's coming close to The End(?), question mark is important for a reason, according to the context that someone can still access the servers years after they shut down. — Very interesting ending to the series (for now).
• 01/26/2025 @Steve404-n6e: So this is the end. [0], if you're seeing this, why have you did this?
• 01/26/2025 @gel-pen-gel-drinker: it is not the end. watch the final clip dagnabbi
• 01/25/2025 @itailevin: 1 detail to note is that this version of minecraft runs with Direct3D 10 instead of OpenGL
• 01/25/2025 @im_heavi: Noted, thank you!
• 01/25/2025 @CovieVR: OMG FINALLY A NEW UPLOAD!
• 01/25/2025 @宇轩姚-z1t: 终于回归了！ Welcome back!
• 01/25/2025 @C0TTo: 02:33 what the hell there's no reason to have 2 iphones in 2011. just big and greedy
• 01/25/2025 @pakogabi: We are so back
• 01/25/2025 @-.-Angel777-.-: Yes, its not over, I will stay tuned in, love the nostalgia from this project!
• 01/25/2025 @zazpad1346: ladies and gentlemen, new alphaver dropped.
• 01/25/2025 @roast_mutton_chops: dev0 saltier than that bed
• 01/27/2025 @TrafficPartyHatTest: God, this makes me feel like I missed out on an actual massively popular game. I love this series so much.
• 01/25/2025 @TahaMedyaTV: The end game is here now
• 01/25/2025 @blueslime32: PEAK RETURNED
• 01/27/2025 @kice1102: imagine being banned from your own singleplayer world just out of spite
• 01/25/2025 @vladthemountain: Целый год готовили 30-минутный видос, значит следующий видос выйдет в 2027 и будет одночасовым?
• 01/28/2025 @thevoidone_tvo: Can’t wait for rgn to make a video about this
• 01/25/2025 @ZackBDoinSht: I honestly hope at the end of this we can play it
• 01/25/2025 @citrusblock: yaya new minecraft alpha upload
• 01/26/2025 @nuxx1876: the name BASTARD at 9:05 and magenta Beech font at 10:17 makes me think the people behind this are corru observer fans
• 01/25/2025 @wecluse: Welcome back
• 01/25/2025 @WaterontheHillYouTube: Thank god this is still getting worked on
• 01/29/2025 @maulidalyda: Bring back all memories I must say
• 01/27/2025 @RBarber-x9i: i wish that mojang made minecraft like alphaver, with more of a fantasy magic aspect instead of medieval. with powerups and unique types of weapondry and blocks, sucks that a big company cant be as creative as notch or the players. this is my faviourate arg ever and i think this dev will make amazing games, this has actually inspired me to try coding... Goodbye Alphaver
• 01/25/2025 @dropatacoshell: 23 minutes and 44 seconds of pure bliss
• 01/26/2025 @Astralpaces: it would be really funny if the next video is titled “Exit point” and takes place in the real alpha 1.0.17
• 01/25/2025 @denysocheck: omg, we got a new video from Minecraft Alpha 1.0.16 Versions earlier than I AM MUSIC
• 01/25/2025 @Mr-Smile4788: YOOOOOOO!!!!! FINALLY YEAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
• 01/25/2025 @CoolCoolsoCool: Rip 1.0.16 version You had a great run
• 01/25/2025 @UsernameDoesntCare: 1.0.16 was better than modern Minecraft could ever hope to be, it had so many features, most of which we didn't even know about until now, it's genuinely mysterious but also innovative on top of it's codebase, the Hub worlds idea is pretty amazing. It feels like a Minecraft x Yume Nikki thing, you know? The troll guy was pretty funny too, server emulation idea pretty smart, etc.
• 01/26/2025 @bounceysteve: the server emulator idea is fun because of mid 2010s revival culture with teens reverse engineering games
• 01/25/2025 @sboy2044: Unless I’m forgetting something, this is the first time we’ve had voice acting after Video 4.
• 01/27/2025 @BACON_PLAYZ1-s3n: I'm so excited for the finale
• 01/25/2025 @AquaDoesStuff_: it returns
• 01/25/2025 @nerveswayHAHA: We are finally in the 'Final Hours' of the arg!!! We're so close, boys!
• 01/29/2025 @RealTimeDoge: im gonna cry if this is over!
• 01/28/2025 @skittel7635: this is so fucking cool I don't understand anything my attention span cannot handle this but I love this arg 😭😭
• 01/25/2025 @makabao-g3n: 0:05 bug_nation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• 01/25/2025 @georgieboat: I was thinking this might be the last video but there are still questions, specifically with that 0.9.0 PE thing and that weird structure.
• 01/28/2025 @youseffahim4008: Your back man!
• 01/29/2025 @theawesometeg219: *finished
• 01/29/2025 @youseffahim4008:  @theawesometeg219  Well not really, as we saw in the last section of this video, we saw a way to make an account my messing with the credentials. Also there was in this channel that dated back in 2021 that for some reason showed hub doors, even though that is not supposed to happen and a message says that if failed to connect to the servers. Someone might be trying to revive the project is my best guess
• 01/29/2025 @catmachine109: 4:39 i just noticed there's Direct3D 10 in the window bar title. Is there gonna be DirectX support in the cypress patch?
• 01/25/2025 @user-mh1vk9ox6t: Hell Yeah , Finally 🎉
• 01/27/2025 @thenexus-d7u: He'll yeah hopefully we get all of the jars used in the videos i dont care if they are just lilypad mods or have spagethi code i want em
• 01/25/2025 @Cheato64: Banger video. Free my macedon homie. He only created a popular hack client SMH. Annihilation Nation will live on even though it died 12 years ago.
• 01/25/2025 @StellarGryphon: I damn I was legit just remembering this series a few days ago
• 01/27/2025 @gergom.8310: Minecraft betha was dark n griddy
• 01/28/2025 @kotgaming5187: bro i need more videos like this! MORE PLEASEE
• 01/25/2025 @neuronoc.7343: I honestly would love if Notch's Minecraft 2 was just using the .jar files from this channel as a reference and building up from there.
• 01/25/2025 @ice_2480: theres no minecraft 2 bro
• 01/26/2025 @ivy_47: he already said nvm lol 😭
