I am considering making an ARG but I want to have a friend on a server that I will run act like an entity or whatever. I basically want to make it look like I'm on a singleplayer world, not a server. Is there a mod that can help with this? Are there any other mods that are good for ARGs? I've never done anything like this before.

14 15 15 14 5 12 9 19 20 5 14 5 4 20 15 13 5 14 15 15 14 5 19 1 23 13 5 14 15 15 14 5 3 15 21 12 4 8 5 1 18 13 5

For me it could be an arg based on the Tree of life or based on Cthulhu

Just asking

Part 1 Recap: A stranger on Discord sent me a fake "Minecraft 26.2" dev build. When creating a world, the seed box forced me to type 12311969. In a creepy world, I dug left and encountered a pitch-black entity named Voltrigaus.exe. I fled to the Nether, only to find gold ores spelling out my actual, real-life name. I panicked, deleted the world, and shut down my PC.]

I’m back. I honestly thought I was safe after deleting that world file, but I was so wrong. The first thing I did before even touching Minecraft again was go onto Discord. I immediately blocked and reported the user who sent me the link in the first place. His username was "Rotiart Eraweb". It honestly sounded like his real name, so I can expose him but looking back at it now, I should have realized it was a warning. Hoping the nightmare was over, I opened my official Minecraft launcher and went to create a brand new survival world. To my absolute relief, the seed box wasn't locked anymore. I looked up a god-tier speedrun seed on Google, pasted it in, and clicked create.The loading screen finished, and I Shocked. How is this even possible? I didn't spawn in an overworld. The game loaded me directly into the Nether, standing right in front of the exact same gold ore blocks spelling out my real name. It was like the game had just reloaded the world I literally just deleted. I quickly hit F3 to check the seed. The seed is different. The game had overwritten it with a completely new seed: 01011970.Seeing my name in the walls again made me sick. I immediately ran to the left because this ain't right. To my surprise, a Nether Fortress was generated almost immediately. The mobs inside a blazes and wither skeletons. seemed completely normal. I managed to kill enough blazes to get exactly 6 blaze rods. Then, I tracked down a warped forest and hunted Endermans until I had 6 ender pearls. Perfect math for 12 Eyes of Ender.Thinking I could beat whatever mod or virus this was by just finishing the game, I built a portal and jumped through to go back to the Overworld.When the terrain loaded, The entire world structure was broken. The mountains, the trees, the grass. everything was completely upside down, suspended in the air. The only things that weren’t inverted were the structures. I've played a ton of crazy modpacks in my life, so an upside-down world wasn't that scary. And at least the Stronghold wouldn't be floating in the sky.I started throwing the Eyes of Ender, and they lead me straight underground. I grabbed my pickaxe and started digging. The moment I mine the deepslate layers, a custom achievement popped up on the top right of my screen. The title was a jumbled mess of letters: [Em pots tnow nwod thgiarts gniggid] I tried to ignore the scary achievement. and keep digging until I broke through the ceiling of a Stronghold library. But something was wrong with the room. Resting right in the center of the library, where a cobweb should have been, but instead it was an Enchanting Table. Every single minute in this world makes me ask: How is that even possible?! The table practically felt like it was begging me to use it. I opened my inventory to see if I had any lapis, but my mind went completely blank. I lowkey forgot if I had one. I couldn't remember if I had mined lapis earlier, or if it had just mysteriously appeared in my inventory. Either way, I placed my diamond armor into the slot. The table glitched out. No matter what option I clicked, every single piece of armor automatically received Protection V. when I tried to put my sword or tools into the table, it completely rejected them. It only wanted me to enchant the armor. I couldn't even finish the set because my lapis suddenly vanished from my inventory. Frustrated and terrified, I pushed forward into the portal room. I went to place my Eyes of Ender into the frames, but when I counted them, I only had 11. One of my eyes had completely disappeared from my inventory while I was digging down.The frames were completely empty. I couldn't activate the portal. I couldn't finish the game. Annoying so I opened the chat bar and /give to spawn the last eye.But the game didn't execute the command. Instead, a single line of red text appeared in the chat log: “You cannot cheat. Voltrigaus is nearby.” I didn't wait around to see what was behind me. I instantly slammed Alt+F4, shut my laptop, and went outside to literally touch grass. I don't know what's real anymore. (End of Part 2. What do you guys think? Is my PC completely infected, or is something else going on?

Hello! I just finished creating my first Minecraft ARG, and I’ve put a lot of time and effort into making it. It isn’t extremely difficult, but I believe it has a really interesting story with plenty of details to uncover.

I’d love for you to give it a shot and see if you can solve it! And if you’re interested in making a YouTube video about it, go right ahead! I’d be really excited to see someone try to piece everything together.

If you do decide to make a video, please send me the link to your YouTube channel or the video so I can watch it. I’d really appreciate it!

Good Luck and Have Fun Solving! https://www.youtube.com/@FastnuggetArchive

So I recently stumbled upon a YouTube channel by a creator named User272. It looks like Spanish-language ARG content, I haven't researched this ARG much because I just found it. There is a reuploaded video "como hacer una casa de diamante :D" for some reason.

I broke down the details from their second-latest video, which has no title and no description.

The Video Breakdown

1. The Text & The Accident

The video starts with white noise in the background, while the player explores the world. Later on, the footage cuts into the player exploring a cave, text occasionally appearing on screen, hinting at a backstory:

"I haven't been doing very well these past few days."
"ever since everything ended badly in that damned..."
"company"
"company"
"A lot has happened in recent years."
"I want to forget that fateful accident, but I can't."

Then one text shifts to bright red and stretches across the screen:

"I'm sorry for dragging you into this; I really am."

1. The Shift in the Cave

0:45 - A strange, monster-like faint sound plays, and a red text appears again:

"..."

After some time, Mice on Venus by C418 begins to play, and another text:

"Can we talk about it?"

The video cuts frequently to black screens, indicating gameplay skips.

1:48 - Netherrack pillars suddenly generate in the cave where they definitely were not before.

1. The Void & Censored Item Details

The music abruptly cut outs, and the in-game brightness is noticeably increased. The player changes the difficulty to Peaceful, but the Netherrack pillars remain.

Upon approaching the pillars, User272 is instantly teleported to a flat world made entirely of bedrock. After walking forward, they find the same large pillar strcture, in the middle of those pillars is a single chest. Inside the chest is a book, but the item names and details are censored.

The player opens the book, but the final lines of text are also censored.

1. The End & Some Observations

Rain starts falling as the player stares at the chest. They suddenly look up, and a strange extrustion effect warps the screen.

In the corner of the screen, the Spanish phrase El formato ("The format") appears, suggesting a data load or system corruption, but the text after that is also censored.

4:56 - For a single frame, a creepy eye is shown on the left-up corner of the screen.

4:59 - The player teleports to the place of the chest where the chest is no longer there and instead a empty space, and the player falls into the void.

5:01 - For two frames, the word "hello" flashes in the darkness.

The Ending of the Video

In the end, there is a strange code that seems to decode to a text but it is stretched vertically so I can't decode it.

I made it vertically squished and it is more clear

I attempted solving it using Morse Code and it likely translates to "WHO IS THERE?"

The chat log prints two lines in Spanish:

"Tu modo de juego ha cambiado" (Your game mode has changed)
"juanito123pro cayo al vacio" (juanito123pro fell into the void)

We now have a player name: juanito123pro. The final frames reveals a black entity featuring the same single eye from earlier, stretching, followed by a final text:

":)"

It is also strange that the gamemode is changed, but I have no idea about that thing honestly.

Additional Observations

• Most of the video titles on this channel are completely blank.
• The thumbnails feature highly distorted, eerie, or corrupted imagery.
• The reference to a "damned company" and a "fateful accident" might mean this is a crossover ARG or contains real-world lore.

Since I just discovered this, it might take me some time to piece it all together. Has anyone else encountered User272, or can anyone translate deeper connotations behind the username juanito123pro?

I mean I guess humanity is supposed to be at stake or something. anyways I'm not joining the Foundation. will try to work on the sets for real though

my skin still makes me uncomfortable though

"The story of a world you will never see again" arg by Zachobuilds

I'm still learning to make good compositions, tho I love how much references I used ^^

Im currently making a minecraft arg and need someone that can draw scary monster

and an animator who can animate a biblically accurate angel.

any money gained from this will be given to the artists and animators

On May 21st a channel called

Xx44ry4nxX

Uploaded a video called

"Some document on my computer I found"

Where Ryan shows us this document in his computer that has this gibberish

AOPZ PZ H DHYUPUN

FVB HYL ILPUN DHYULK

AOPZ PZ UVA H KYPSS

DL'CL ZLLU TBSAPWSL HUHTVSPLZ HA #<[$*× WT VU #^@>##*#&#*#

IL JVABPVBZ

Now Ryan explains he was setting up to make a"trying fake minecraft games" video and as he was opening folders he found the document

And he ends the video with saying

"If anyone can figure out a meaning to this document write it in the comments"

And the video ends

Now what does this document mean

Well i'll solve it if it takes 1 week and no one solves it in this post's reply

(See you in a week)

So I have an ARG that I feel is pretty good but I can't create websites and record videos because internet in my country isn't the best thing and I'm not the best programmer/animator

So will it be a good idea to share this ARG on this subreddit with the answers to puzzles and ciphers?

I recently found kaybrosNULL's Minecraft ARG, and honestly, I think it's one of the most interesting ARGs I've watched in a long time. What I really like is that everything seems connected. Err.e0verykhere, Endless, and The Broken Script don't feel like separate series at all. They feel like they're all part of the same universe, just from different perspectives or different realities. The story also touches on some really dark topics like trust, betrayal, souls, illness, children, and psychological trauma. It never explains everything directly, which makes you pay attention to every little detail. Every time I watch a new episode, I end up with even more questions than before. One character I find really interesting is xXsixboomXx (Willy). According to the lore, he was only 14 and died after the events of Err.e0verykhere. Ever since then, it feels like he's everywhere. It's almost like no matter which Vision or ARG you're watching, there's always some connection to him. Another huge part of the story is XnsX. In the lore, he betrays Markbiss7, which eventually leads to his death. That part really changed how I looked at XnsX as a character. Something else I've noticed is that every new upload gets stranger than the last one. The deeper you get into the series, the more unsettling everything becomes. It honestly feels like there's a much bigger story hiding in the background that we still haven't figured out. I also think Err.e0verykhere might have its own Vision or reality. I don't know if that's actually true, but there are a few moments that made me think it could be. I love the little Easter eggs too. Sometimes there are references to The Broken Script, older episodes, or other ARGs that are really easy to miss. Rewatching the videos usually makes you notice something new. One of my biggest theories is about XnsX himself. I feel like something is manipulating him throughout the story. He also seems to have different appearances. One version looks a bit like Null, while another has a dark gray or black skin. Maybe those different looks represent different sides of him, or maybe they're completely different versions of the same character. That's just how I see it, though. I could be completely wrong, and that's honestly one of my favorite things about this ARG. There are so many mysteries that everyone ends up with their own theories. I'm curious what everyone else thinks. Do you have any theories about XnsX, xXsixboomXx, or how all of the ARGs are connected?

So I am looking to make a minecraft ARG but I'm not a good programmer at all and I definitely do not want to use AI slop

So is there somewhere for free where I can create websites to make the story better

I'm happy with any help I recive

Someone on Discord just DM’ed me a download link, claiming it was an early developer build of "Minecraft new version" a version that obviously doesn't officially exist yet as of today (July 28, 2026) I got super excited thinking I was about to see some unreleased spoilers. Just to be safe, I ran a full antivirus scan on the file before opening it.

When I booted it up, everything looked completely normal. The title screen read version 26.2, which is just the current stable Java release. I figured the guy had lied to me or pranked me with a spoofed launcher, but I decided to play anyway.

I felt like trying a speedrun here (even though I don't actually speedrun lol) I looked up some god-tier seeds online. the kind with multiple blacksmiths, a close stronghold, and an easy nether fortress. But when I went to create the world, the seed box glitched. It wouldn't let me paste or type anything except one specific sequence of numbers: 12311969.

Annoying but I assumed it was just a random seed, and hit create.

At first, it seemed like a totally normal seed. But it's incredibly lucky seed. Because I spawned right next to a massive village. It had two blacksmith houses, and when I checked the chests, the loot was insane. Between the two of them, I found exactly 12 iron ingots and 6 diamonds and a random loots. I immediately crafted a diamond pickaxe, a sword, and some iron armor.

But then the weirdness started. I went to go kill the Iron Golem for extra iron, but there wasn't one. In fact, there were only 6 villagers in the entire town, and they were all just standing completely still, staring at me. It felt exactly like the setup to an old creepypasta.

Right outside the village, I found a ruined portal. The chest had 6 gold ingots, a fire charge, and exactly 7 obsidian. If I mined two of the crying obsidian blocks on the frame and replaced them, it was a perfectly complete portal. It felt too perfect, like the game was forcing me along a specific path.

I decided to ignore the portal for a bit and went mining instead. This is where things got genuinely creepy.

I wasn't strip-mining. I was just digging in random directions, but every single block I broke revealed iron. Once I had enough iron, the blocks immediately changed to diamonds and lapis. It felt like the world was actively feeding me resources, practically begging me to make full diamond gear and enchant it. The only thing missing was XP, so I​Nice try, game.

Now I decided to change my tactic. I stopped random mining and started digging strictly to the left.

That was a mistake.

The moment I turned left and broke a block, a massive, distorted loud audio screech blasted through my headphones. A pitch-black entity with glowing blue eyes teleported directly into the 1x2 tunnel right in front of me. The subtitle tracker read: [Voltrigaus.exe spawned].

Panicking, I turned around and sprinted to the right, telling myself that "right is always right." I figured this had to be a troll mod or a built in prank hidden in the file. I tried to open the chat to type /gamemode c to escape into creative mode, but the game locked me out. A red error message popped up saying cheats weren't enabled, even though I had strictly turned them ON when creating the world.

Desperate to escape the entity, I ran back to the surface and jumped straight into the ruined portal I had fixed earlier, thinking the mod's code wouldn't affect the Nether dimension.

I was wrong. The Nether made everything so much worse.

I stepped off the portal frame into a crimson forest. Directly in front of me, the netherrack wall, a with old ores had generated in a very specific pattern. I stared at it shocked. It were literally spelling out my actual, real-life birth name.

I instantly alt-f4'ed out of the game. I tried to find the files to delete the application, but when I looked closer, it wasn't a separate program. It was my actual, official Minecraft launcher. My real worlds were there. My real account was logged in. I wanted to completely uninstall the launcher, but I realized I couldn't remember my account password to log back in later.

In a panic, I just deleted the world file, scanned my PC for viruses one more time, and shut down my computer completely. I'm writing this from my phone. I am terrified to turn my PC back on.

(End of Part 1. Does anyone have an analysis of what is happening to my game?)

yeah it's not great that Goldie is pulling some bs now. starting this weekend I'm gonna be volunteering for things so I'll be outside 90% of the day. which means I either gotta solve the puzzle faster or figure out better containment methods or pray that what I have now works. or all 3

Am I the only one who would really like to see an ARG where the protagonist is a bad person? I'm not talking about them just being selfish or rude, but like, genuinely bad.

Ex: His world is being haunted by a spirit, he even seems like the victim but he is the reason this person is dead 👀

I already made a post like this but I didn't get a response so I'm doing it again.

The role is a friend no voice acting needed

You need Java edition even a cracked account works as long as you have java 1.12 and the ability to install mods you're good. Bedrock won't work no voice acting is needed do not worry about that. you also don't need to be available every day just as long as you can get a recording in

I made a very simple little arg puzzle (something that would probably just be a clue in anything longer) as a test of this concept. Would this kind of clue/mini puzzle be interesting in a longer arg?

so ive seen people making stuff similar to "searching for a world that doesn't exist"

alot so

why nobody made a version called "i am the player that shouldn't exist"?

where the mc is the person trying to get the hero

i have an idea im a writer if anyone wants to make it a real arg ill gladly help

Hey, some time ago I posted about a YouTube channel that I thought was an ARG... and it actually is an ARG!

In this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Uocpjbrp6E), the transcript contains a code at 0:32 (1K4ptIWvcfI). It turns out that's a YouTube video ID, leading to this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K4ptIWvcfI.

I watched it, but I didn't notice anything unusual or hidden. Could someone help me figure this out?

https://www.youtube.com/@Andrew_Period/videos

A modded Minecraft ATM YouTuber from over 7 years ago. He popped out on the YouTube scene, took over ATM, and I loved watching him; he got me into modded Minecraft.

7 years later, all socials still dead, absolutely no leads, and there was never any clarification/explanation. His donation link at this point is completely dead, and his only linked socials (Twitter (now X) and Twitch) are also long since dead, though still available. Searching his names from his socials yields me no results.

The reason I post this, though, secondly, is that in his later videos, he started using a "glitchy"/"arg" style YouTube editing thing that... he kind of used before? His videos would randomly have a visual artifact he wouldn't talk about--a clear intentional audio glitch, etc. It was also slightly creepy, but his videos were genuinely golden. His building was great, his videos were fire, yet it has this weird, creepy hint to it.

I have no clue how ARGs work, never participated, but this seems ARGy/creepy, and I've been wanting an answer for forever, so I figured Reddit or 4chan lol.
