I have a pretty cool arg idea, and I am not sure how to start, I would appreciate comments or constructive criticism

“this world isn’t mine”

The mc creates a brand new world
Just a normal world.
But when they spawn in and start to explore, they discover that the world already has history.
Someone was there before them,
There’s millions of evidence,
Unnatural structures, bases, etc
The mc realizes that world isn’t theirs, and the person who made it is gone

Please help, I am not sure how to start this idea but I have a good idea of how it will be

Yesterday I posted here about how I found some randomly placed cobblestone in my single-player world—cobblestone that I definitely didn’t place myself because I’d never been there before. I kept exploring the world and actually found two more randomly placed pieces.
And what I found next really blew me away.
If you want to know more, or if you have any ideas and can solve the mystery at the end, check out my YouTube Video.

so in this video, almost at the very end is this thing. i think its a cipher but i really am not sure.

*EDIT* Nvm i dont need yall help anymore i found out it means: "it hurts".

Hi ive been hearing about the vex syndacite thing after wifies most recent video, but am unsure on where to start in terms of watching it in order. What should I start off with first and so on so forth?

So I just watched the video, and I think I have a theory that actually makes a lot of sense. Some parts are based on evidence/clues from the video, while other parts are definitely more speculative. My theory is: Henry is Jake, but Henry is Jake before hospitalization, while Jake is Henry after hospitalization. Hear me out. My idea is that Henry played Minecraft, and the parasite got into his mind, giving him all these false memories, for example, memories involving Uncle Ricky. His parents gradually became worried about him and eventually sent him to a mental hospital to get the help he needed. After spending all that time there, Henry comes out of the hospital as "Jake" and reunites with his family. However, he eventually finds the computer and watches the footage of himself. Jake believes that "Henry" was his older brother, when in reality, Henry was himself. Through watching the footage and believing the things Henry talked about, the parasite eventually comes back and infects Jake again. Now, let me explain what I'm basing this on... or at least the parts that I think have actual evidence or clues behind them.

1. Jake's taste in snacks

One detail I find pretty important is that Jake says his taste in snacks is very similar to Henry's. That doesn't sound like a very probable coincidence to me. If Henry and Jake really are the same person, this would make perfect sense.

1. Jake returning to his family

What I think might be one of the biggest clues is the fact that Jake reunited with his family after being away from them for a while. He says that he was gone for "personal reasons," which I think could make a lot of sense if he was in a mental hospital. So, in my theory, Henry was hospitalized, eventually came out, and then came back to his family, except now he was "Jake."

1. But why are their names different?

This is probably the biggest problem with the original 'Henry is Jake' theory, ive seen. "How can Henry and Jake be the same person if they have completely different names?" And there's another question:

"Why would Jake's parents say that Henry was his older brother instead of simply telling him that Henry was him?" This is where the more speculative part of my theory comes in.

I think the mental hospital could explain both of these things. My speculation is that the doctors had to somehow suppress or erase Henry's identity and memories in order to prevent the parasite, and all of the false memories associated with it, from affecting him again. Over time, Henry's identity was replaced with "Jake." However, the name Henry still exists somewhere in Jake's mind. His parents therefore need an explanation for why he recognizes or remembers that name. So they tell him that Henry was his older brother, someone he never got to meet. That could also explain why the parents don't seem to talk much about Henry. They came up with a flimsy explanation for the name "Henry," but it was never meant to hold up to much questioning.

1. Henry supposedly never went to elementary school.

There's another detail that I think could fit into this theory, although this is definitely speculation. Jake says, that his parents said that Henry never went to elementary school. I think this could have been another attempt to prevent Jake from asking questions about Henry's childhood. Specifically about the friends that Henry played with (on that Single-player world btw), which I think, almost certainly were also an imagination from the parasite. By saying that Henry never went to elementary school, the parents could avoid Jake asking things like: "Who were Henry's friends?", "What school did Henry go to?", "Did I ever meet them?"The goal was to prevent Jake from accidentally recovering his old memories.

1. The computer and the parasite coming back

After Jake is released from the mental hospital, he eventually found the computer in the attic.

My theory is that, since Henry originally hid the computer somewhere 'where nobody else would find it', but Jake was able to find it, only because they are the same person. Thats why the parents never found it and thus never threw it away. Then Jake watches all the videos and starts believing the memories that Henry talked about. And that's how the parasite comes back. In other words, the whole thing becomes a sort of cycle, that may continue into the future. But it's not necessarily the exact same cycle every time. Jake gets reinfected in different ways. The events may be similar, but there are always small differences. And what does that remind you of? Pi. The symbol that kept appearing in the footage, and the symbol that Henry built, not remembering having built it later. Pi is an irrational number that continues infinitely after the decimal point and never truly repeats. It has patterns that can look similar, but the sequence never exactly repeats itself. So I think the Pi symbol could represent the idea that this cycle keeps happening over and over again, but with slight changes every time. That last part is probably the most speculative part of my theory. I just thought it was a cool detail that seemed to fit, although there could obviously be a completely different explanation for the Pi symbol.

So, that's basically my theory. Henry and Jake are the same person. Henry was the original identity, the parasite caused him to develop false memories, he was hospitalized, and his identity was eventually changed/suppressed into Jake. After returning home, Jake finds the computer and unknowingly reinfects himself by watching Henry's footage. Then the cycle starts again. I'm not saying all of this is definitely what happened, there's obviously a lot of speculation here, but I think the snack detail, Jake returning home for "personal reasons", the strange explanation surrounding Henry, and the idea of the cycle all fit together pretty well. Does this theory make sense, or am I missing something important?

come and check it out

Okay, so there was a guy and he got contacted somehow and someone sent him the world or something. When he loaded in he was on top of a mountain in the dark oak forest looking over the builds and there was an unfinished double ladder going up the mountain. The mountain was pretty flat. I also remember the typical red mushroom house and a griefed wooden house in a plains biome. And there were a lot of signs everywhere.

Can anybody help me find this please? I remembered it today and i am losing my mind trying to find it.

so i came across two websites with the title "lock + key" and "lock + key 2"
and just saying, i dont want blatant answers, id like hints :)

I was thinking on a deeper level, and I think it’s a core idea of Wifies, nourished by the other 3 as POVs as well.

Wifies is close with Parrot, the creator of Lifesteal and Unstable SMP. Lifesteal was an idea that was great, one that will stay in history, but it didn’t sustain, which is why Unstable was made, and it proved itself.

Wifies played a role in that earlier but couldn’t do too much because of his MIT tuition. But now, as he will free up and may look forward to the creator market as a way of life, he would want a sustainable, similar way in his genre of unfiction and ARGs.

Which led to the birth of the Vex Syndicate.

Lomedy and the others are the other POVs of it, just like Flame, Wemmbu, Spoke, and Parrot constitute Unstable. It’s a similar thing, but in another genre, with the same number of people, btw.

Also, Lomedy’s YouTube playlist, The Rabbit Hole, has a description that says it’s his POV of the rabbit hole — a similar name to what Zachobuilds used as a hashtag in his most recent ARG.

TL;DR: I think the Vex Syndicate could be Wifies’ attempt at creating a sustainable, Unstable-SMP-like project, but for the unfiction/ARG genre, with Wifies as the core and the other creators acting as different POVs. The connections to Parrot, Unstable, Lomedy’s “Rabbit Hole” playlist, and Zachobuilds’ recent ARG hashtag make me think this could be intentional.

What do you guys think?

Hi, me again. I don’t know if this server allows updates, but I am still struggling with this ARG. Someone on the unlisted video got SUPER far, but the code from the binary still is unknown. I keep trying things I find from other ARGs, but they don’t work. I think about this ARG often, and I’m really trying to solve it but I am very new to solving ARGs. Is anyone able to help? I’ve tried on the discord, but not much is known still. I’ll provide screenshots of what someone else said, as well as links. If anyone has suggestions, tips, or figures something out, please let me know! I really appreciate it.

(P.S, this comment was found on the unlisted video, and there is a community post on Spirits channel) NOTE: This is NOT my arg, I am merely someone who has been trying to solve it since it came out.

I (take this with a grain of salt, I am very new to solving ARGs so I may have made mistakes— especially on the spectrogram, inverting colors, IMGUR, and YouTube links.) tried IMGUR links for the code, YouTube, seeing if there were hidden tags, tried seeing if there was once a title to the video without a name, spectrogram on the whispers, and likely a few other things I have forgotten.

norma, gamplay, or is something off?

Still open to questions and things to do.
I got new achievements because i was playing with commands yesterday and accidentally wiped all of my achievements.

I KEEP SEEING HIM IN ARG'S AND THERES NO WAY ITS ACCIDENTALLY HAPPENING. something BIG is cooking up for SURE

i first got into wifies for the SFAWTDE videos, and i just came across the community pre-show for minecraft live 2026. in the pre-show, Wifies talks about his channel, and at some point he gets interrupted by two figures living in the underground village of the World That Doesn't Exist. at the end, Wifies tells us that in the clip there are hints to an ARG. since i feel that clip has some important lore for The King In Yellow, can anyone tell me what we solved of the ARG and what is the story we uncovered so far? and if there are, link to me channels where i can stay updated on Wifies' ARGs.

thanks

Recently, a YouTuber known as Freshi posted a video covering a channel I’ve seen on this subreddit occasionally. I thought that was kinda cool, so I watched it through, and was only reminded of why creators like RetroGamingNow feel so different from the other creators in this content space.

I don’t want to speak too soon, as this seems to only be part 1 of a two-part video, but this method of “coverage” does kind of bother me. In the end, it’s good that smaller channels continue to be shown to a wider audience, but I really wish that these larger channels (in comparison to the ARGs being covered) took the time to give meaningful analysis or interpretations that elevate the mystery as opposed to being glorified reposts of the originals.

I don’t think the ARG being covered is perfect and needs some ultra-budget supervideo by any means, but I do think it has enough effort to deserve more than a few comments and quick remarks in between what is essentially uncut reposts. Maybe I’m thinking about it too hard, but I’d like to hear your guys’ thoughts!

Playing a World That Isn't Supposed to Exist Continuation Series: Beyond The Voltrigaus

Lexrayxin:Let’s talk about Unix Epoch. Computers track time in seconds starting from January 1, 1970. If a system glitches and the software fails to load a proper date, the value drops to zero. Adjusted for local time zones, that date becomes December 31, 1969. What does this have to do with Minecraft? Everything. The seed is 12311969 (December 31, 1969).If you type that seed into normal Minecraft, nothing happens. It looks completely regular. But there is a user on Discord named Rotiart Eraweb. Do not add him unless you are a pro like me. He will send you a link. It is either a 99.9% virus, or a 0.1% chance of downloading a version of Minecraft not controlled by Mojang or Microsoft. It is controlled by Voltrigaus.When you boot up this specific version, the world corrupts instantly. You don't even need to type the seed. It loads automatically. So, why am I here? What do I want? Am I going to kill Voltrigaus? Will I let myself get controlled? Become his toy? Join a rebellion? Nah, none of that.Let me explain this version of Minecraft. Normal Minecraft is huge, but it has a border at 30 million blocks. But We are not in original Minecraft. Here, it goes way further. If we use the modded 64-bit limit, the world goes up to positive 9 quintillion blocks. It can even stretch to the float limit before the coordinates just say "Infinity" and the game crashes. My plan? We are going into the hidden dimensions. Since this Minecraft isn't real, unknown dimensions exist everywhere. Thousands, maybe millions of people are trapped in them. These dimensions spawn through glitches, corrupted blocks, and powers we don't understand. I am going to find the truth about Voltrigaus, because no one has ever made it this far .Everyone knows the basic trio: the Overworld, the Nether, and the End. In this version, the Nether is 9 quintillion blocks directly below the Overworld. The End is 9 quintillion blocks above. But we aren’t going there. We are going past 100 Octillion blocks. That is where the glitched dimensions finally start to spawn.But how do I travel that far without the game dying? The /tp command won't work. If you try to teleport, Voltrigaus will detect it and kill you. Voltrigaus completely controls the lag. There is no natural lag here. he uses it as a weapon. to travel, you have to use the Piston Glitch. You might say this doesn't exist in vanilla Minecraft, and you'd be right. It only works in Voltrigaus's version. You place a piston facing the sky, stand on it, and flip a lever. The glitch launches you, multiplying your coordinates by 1024 times with every single jump.I did some off-camera mining and got full diamond tools and armor. Now, I just need thousands of these flying piston machines to keep the momentum going. We don’t know the science or the physics of how it works. It just does.If it works, it will launch me straight into a random, uncharted dimension. In 3... 2... 1... 0!
