11/06/2022 @drim3945: He has a folder named "shit", and internet explorer is named "why", i swear this is important for the ARG
11/06/2022 @yeeterlol: It isn't important for the ARG. The Internet Explorer named is 'why' to make it more realistic since back in the early 2010s, Internet Explorer was being dunked on for it's horrible rep.
11/06/2022 @beginnerboss1777: he also has osu! on his desktop 😳😳
11/06/2022 @klinxium8627: @beginnerboss1777 this is the most important lore discovery yet
11/06/2022 @kuzatheaviator: @beginnerboss1777 we here have a firm grasp of the obvious
11/06/2022 @zero-ej6rt: the internet explorer icon might just be a website link copied as a file to desktop, it has the IE icon because thats what windows presets it to from the file type, but firefox is installed so "samurai_2001" likely didn't even use IE, i used to have those in 2013 and i have no doubts i wouldn't be the only one, since even my own mother still does it with her phone, i wouldn't judge someone having a folder named because it like does have their "shit", and osu realised back in 2007
11/06/2022 @RussellScott59: i think the important part is i dont see Quake anywhere on the desktop
11/06/2022 @lemondollie: @yeeterlol me when i don’t know how to read tone over text
11/06/2022 @goldenrodthedragon: He also has world of warcraft open
11/06/2022 @letthenonsensebegin: yeah
11/06/2023 @bahadur116minecraftgaming9: I hate Google but I love Old and New Internet Explorer
11/06/2023 @society1876: @yeeterlol how did you not get the joke man
11/06/2023 @yeeterlol: @society1876 there was no joke bro
01/06/2024 @epicCoolgiytryhsrfsea: the joke i think is that he's saying that it's important for the arg @yeeterlol
08/06/2024 @Fog799: He has WOW unfortunately 😞
04/06/2024 @sabotabo7476: 0:46 i absolutely ADORE this moment when he turns around, sees the supernova sun and the music gets ultra weird, and then ominous. i mean i adore it just on its cinematic merit alone, separate from the ARG. imagine you look to the east, expecting a sunrise, but the sun is gone-- it exploded.
11/06/2022 @hiphyro: wow, the nebula being used in place of the sun and as a rare event is not only super pretty but also really plays into the whole vibe of old minecraft. i love it. sucks that dev2 was impersonated...
11/06/2022 @surgicalmaterials: plus i think the nebula is one of the paintings stored in those texture files
11/06/2022 @kice1102: you took the words out of my mouth. old Minecraft vibes all over. I seriously dig that esoteric and mysterious vibe Minecraft used to have.
11/06/2022 @hiphyro: @kice1102 same. I’m the slightest bit disappointed that even though there’s playable versions of the ARG, it will likely just run its course as the story progresses and then end. I kind of want an actual version of Minecraft like this. But with the amount of content similar to modern Minecraft.
11/06/2022 @kice1102: @hiphyro yep me too. I wish this was real and not an arg. I wonder how minecraft would've turned out if notch never left. The adventure update was the first update that was made specifically to be marketable. Notch made it just to get rid of the game. So everything before that was in his original style.
11/06/2022 @BacnManYT: The fact that dev2 is gone make this so much more scary, paired with the chunk errors and nebula as the sun. This is cool and creepy!
Edit: also something to mention is how the music is gradually distorting to become more of an ominous feel. This really is well crafted!
11/06/2022 @alexanderscout: hey is there discord sever i can join working on this i want to help out
11/06/2022 @BacnManYT: @alexanderscout RetroGamerNow has a discord section about this, as his video is how I found this ARG.
11/06/2022 @NetheriteMaster_: why he post videos with alpha when we have 1.19?
11/06/2022 @BacnManYT: @NetheriteMaster_ Because it's an ARG that shows us the secret lilypad versions of Minecraft that go back to alpha 1.0.16_02, the lily pad versions are a secret branch of Minecraft versions never released to the public. As they were separately developed from the main game versions.
11/06/2022 @myacht: i think this is a supernova instead of the sun which implies that the sun blow the heck up
11/06/2022 @NetheriteMaster_: @BacnManYT why that versions never release?
11/06/2022 @BacnManYT: @NetheriteMaster_
It was like a side project to see where Minecraft could have gone, then I'm guessing the Mojang Devs shut down the project after it being a failure, but also another reason for shut down may have been controversy amongst the team and play testers.
Im not 100% certain as if this is it, as this paragraph goes under theorising and speculation, multiple videos have shown there was a distrust between Devs but this could be me looking too much into things.
Any more questions?
Shoot away!
11/06/2022 @21wins28: @BacnManYT Hello. I have a question. If i open a server in one of those alpha versions, does a shadowplayer join my server?
11/06/2022 @BacnManYT: @21wins28 maybe
Edit: If you join the server which the latest .jar file has the code for then yes you will indeed see strange, see-through or fully black players. They have a name that corresponds with their job ( I think ).
11/06/2022 @nerium4016: @NetheriteMaster_ this is an arg (alternative reality game) these versions dont exist irl but they look pretty convincing /lh
11/06/2022 @user-leet37598: i feel like the music is becoming more soothing, not ominous
i feel blissful listening to this
11/06/2023 @voidomega4211: @nerium4016 they actually do exist as jar files that you can play
11/06/2022 @melody5296: New update on these versions.
In the description it's said that Dev 2, the oldest person in the team, has been gone and someone is trying to impersonate him.
The nebula event is also said to be very rare, hence "it takes too long for this event to normally appear".
You can also see the yellow bar above the hotbar (internally called the "hunger" bar, however it doesn't regenerate when eating), which makes the player take damage once empty.
Edit: The S-shaped bar above the armor bar is found to be showing the remaining durability of the armor that you're wearing.
11/06/2022 @Kallichore09: That "S-bar" looks kinda like dollar signs. Maybe it's a currency bar?
11/06/2022 @lordmarshmal_0643: @Kallichore09 I doubt it with the way it's split up in this video, but who knows
11/06/2022 @ketsu3745: i'm pretty sure they where saying that Dev 2 had passed away rather than just left the Dev team but that's just me pointing out the obvious
11/06/2022 @ClonedGamer001: I don't think Dev 2 has just left the team. The way it's worded makes it seem like he died.
The use of "not with us anymore" instead of "no longer on the team" or "we haven't seen in years" combined with mentioning that he was the oldest team member seen to imply it.
11/06/2022 @slopLIVE_: the s bar only appears when wearing armor, since i play lilypad, but not sure what it does
11/06/2022 @gryphondh5770: The S bar shows the durability of each piece of armor you're wearing.
11/06/2022 @MrHatREAL: nah. yellow bar was already before. it's "hunger" bar.
and SS is durability of armor
11/06/2022 @Cool_Kid95: The Lemon Bar
11/06/2022 @IloveRumania: Perhaps this video takes place far in the future - that explains why it's dark.
11/06/2022 @jws300: And I noticed that when dev 2 talks, that yellow bar drains
11/06/2022 @Rikuu0: maybe it's more like a stamina bar
11/06/2022 @MrHatREAL: @jws300 it's hunger bar
11/06/2022 @jws300: @MrHatREAL cool?
11/06/2022 @Bananappleboy: This entire comment section acting like a bunch of randoms spamming letters/words and asking "how do i get the code" or something really makes this ARG less serious.
11/06/2022 @preservery: indeed
11/06/2022 @JollyPower69: Tell me about it
11/06/2022 @Achern4r: I'm 12 and this is actually me when the worms are burrowing into my bulbospongiosus muscle
11/06/2022 @-monti9022: My name is Shaniqua and I just turned 15. I'm convinced I was born in the wrong generation. Unlike my peers, who fail to really appreciate and interpret the same content I do, I strive to immerse myself in the craftsmanship of the creator. Never making light of its magnificence, I will continue to do everything in my power to correct those who simply fail to appreciate the media in the same way I do.
11/06/2022 @Julian-bw8tq: This was post in 1961? "HOW!"
11/06/2022 @jannikheidemann3805: @-monti9022 I know that feeling of being born among an ignorant generation.
11/06/2022 @howlins: to be fair, i bet people would react the same (trying to find codes etc) if they were fully convinced it’s real LOL
11/06/2022 @christiantaylor1495: What do you mean??
11/06/2022 @kreuinos6333: @devminecraft-jt6cd Alternate Reality Game
11/06/2022 @kreuinos6333: A lot have puzzles to solve and some don’t
11/06/2022 @Kallichore09: @devminecraft-jt6cd An ARG is kinda like a puzzle online. You get a "mission" to decode a story. In this case, the beginning of this ARG, AlphaVer, is this channel. The end hasn't been found yet, but it's likely to be in a jar file.
11/06/2022 @sw1tch327: @jannikheidemann3805 This generation is almost definitely the least ignorant...
11/06/2022 @MuslimToALLAH: "What if it's not an... ARG?"
11/06/2022 @theonlyplain: Let them be then
11/06/2022 @HosheaManein: @-monti9022 how is that related to this comment?
11/06/2022 @Achern4r: @HosheaManein how isn't it?
11/06/2022 @JessJ_698: @-monti9022 I’m not like other girls type beat
11/06/2022 @Joethec12: So we aren't gonna talk about this was posed 69 years ago?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
11/06/2023 @aperson8077: Goofy
11/06/2023 @SuperTailsMiles: @-monti9022 "im not like others"
01/06/2024 @epicCoolgiytryhsrfsea: that is racism @baconfartyguy
11/06/2022 @retrograde98xp7: This is one of the few actual ARGs I've ever seen. This literally is a game about an alternate reality, not just some found footage horror series.
11/06/2023 @azariahazariah4493: No it doesn’t, it stands for alternate reality game
11/06/2023 @comprehensiblehorror: @Kiss_My_Aspergers ok but i have never seen anyone ever say "augmented reality game"
11/06/2022 @PeeperSnail: Out of everything, 0 being a Mojang dev is so realistic due to the fact he forces features to have a specific use instead of just letting them be cosmetic
11/06/2022 @CreepyboomGamer: This was early Minecraft tho. Philosophies were different.
11/06/2022 @Klar: Well mojang nowadays adds features with no specific use so I don't think that applies.
11/06/2022 @Kallichore09: Like the fireflies.
11/06/2022 @realPurpleOrb: @Klar They do have uses, we don't need the new stuff for them though
11/06/2022 @filindoyt6594: what bout the bats
11/06/2022 @Kallichore09: @filindoyt6594 Well... Uh... The bats are uh... uhm...
11/06/2022 @johnathanegbert9277: Ambience?
11/06/2023 @mandaring8825: homie this is the exact opposite of how mojang is, i wish they would be like this.
11/06/2023 @azariahazariah4493: Old mojang have most things uses, but some were purely scenic like the stonecutter, bat, bookshelf
11/06/2023 @mandaring8825: @azariahazariah4493 The bat was a stupid implementation. Stonecutter and bookshelf have uses though
11/06/2022 @MarkoTribe: the fractured moon in the purple night sky looks fucking insane
11/06/2022 @JFirecracker: I thought that was an eye
11/06/2022 @v1tam1n_C: Truth be told? I honestly wish Minecraft looked like this. Imagine it as a sorta Minecraft mmo with scripted events and junk
11/06/2022 @naxeron1337: I'm honestly so in love with this surreal, dreamy, magical atmosphere of these versions. Kinda getting the same feeling as playing some of the worlds of yume nikki and the fan games (especially the hub world of this game!). I really do hope that the "final game" or something close to it will be playable, seeing as we already have some playable jars.
11/06/2022 @DesertPunks: I was gonna say it hits in the same way as Yume Nikki, especially the snow in the earlier videos, I'm tempted to make a surreal/dreamlike modpack with some inspiration from this
11/06/2022 @sentrygun9978: It'd be really neat to have a resource pack with these textures. I honestly enjoy them quite a bit.
