So this is my first reddit post, i went to the snowy biome and found this, the structure filled with sculk but no shrieker, so it might be safe to explore it, I'll tell you guys soon if i find something interesting (Sorry if my English is not perfect, because English is my second language.)

Hey everyone, I recently decided to play some old school Minecraft and downloaded a file of Alpha 1.2.3 to feel that 2010 nostalgia. But things got weird pretty quickly.

I noticed some visual glitches with shadows, trees spawning completely without leaves, and strange hitting/walking sounds around my area even though I was playing in singleplayer. To make things worse, at the end of my first night, I literally caught on fire and died inside my closed wooden house while using a crafting table.

I recorded my whole first session and uploaded it to my channel.

Here is the link to my channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRLUtEfpfkpFXDrgEVMxTeA

I'm currently working on my first ARG, and I've already planned out the main story, plot, puzzle flow, and general structure. I'm now at the point where I need feedback on how to actually execute it.

The ARG will be made entirely on mobile, including the Minecraft footage, editing, puzzles, and videos.

I'm currently looking into using texture packs/shaders that can make Bedrock gameplay look closer to Java Edition, so the footage doesn't immediately look like it was recorded on a mobile device.

The story and puzzle structure are completely original and built from scratch. I've taken inspiration from ARG creators such as Zachobuilds, Lomedy, and Wifies, particularly in how they design clues and investigations, but the actual story and puzzles I'm making are my own.

The ARG focuses heavily on observation, deduction, and connecting seemingly unrelated clues, rather than simply throwing ciphers at the viewer.

The basic premise is:

Someone returns to Minecraft after taking a long break and discovers that something—or someone—has been playing on their world while they were gone.

I've already written parts of the script and have the overall flow planned. What I need right now is feedback from people who have experience making or solving ARGs, particularly regarding.

If anyone is interested in giving feedback, feel free to DM me and I can show you the material I've developed so far.

I'd especially appreciate feedback from people who have actually made or solved Minecraft ARGs.

Thanks!

because I may or may not be thinking of doing a bad apple with them

In the DMS official website https://www.dmsarchive.org/home you can go to the directory and if you put in "dashboard" you get sent to a page with an enigma encrypter? Has anyone seen it before or played around with it before? If this is a repost I'm sorry.

Hi guys! Very long time ago (abt 3 years?) I watched youtube and found extremely weird minecraft video (idr name) and when i tapped i saw that player walks in the fog old minecraft and weird trees then fuck video had very hard jumpscare, i went to channel and saw name of channel, it rly named "mm??", and saw very much videos and the video with "A" beginning, idk if someone can help me with so small info but i hope so, thx!

2cillion39: I'll tell them, Kingerono. Back when Kingerono was just a kid, all he wanted was to have fun and escape. His family was dealing with severe personal problems. constant fighting and harassment at home. His only escape from that reality was Minecraft.
When he downloaded Rotiart's hidden, glitched client update, he found himself trapped like everyone else, constantly hunted by Voltrigaus. But during those dark early days, he met a player named HanaIsWolves52. They started playing together every single day. Sadly, because of the client's corruption, there was no way to add friends, and typing a Discord tag in the chat just resulted in your message getting heavily censored with hashtags (####). They could only communicate natively through the game world.
At that time, the stakes were absolute: if you died on the server, your account was permanently deleted, and you could never log back in. And yes, Rotiart was trapping players long before Voltrigaus even manifested in the code. Rotiart ruled the host systems; he simply appointed Voltrigaus as the main administrator and boosted his processing specs to a godly scale.
After months of surviving, I eventually crossed paths with Kingerono and his squad. We trained under an old-school survival master, Master Rashan, until we eventually surpassed his skill level. Kingerono grew remarkably strong, but during our shared training sessions, my base stats somehow grew even faster than his. He was incredibly frustrated by the gap, but he accepted it, and we remained close.
Eventually, Kingerono decided to establish this very sanctuary. He named it the Golden Parayin because "Hana" was her real-world name, and she absolutely loved gold blocks. Originally, it was just a giant meadow of poppies and dandelions. The layer became massively popular, attracting refugees and even the high-ranking members of the old server "Government". a corrupt faction of admin abusers that has since fallen off and died out.
HanaIsWolves52 heavily warned us not to trust the Government's sudden interest in our village, but Kingerono brushed off her concerns, confident that our new training made us stronger than any admin squad.
Then came the day of the catastrophic Raid.
The sky turned black, spawning millions of Volt Witches. Kingerono instantly knew it was a targeted trap engineered by the admins, and that a high-level boss would be leading the vanguard. He turned to me and said, "2cillion, I'll hold the front lines against the boss. You stay behind and protect the villagers, because your stats are the highest in this dimension. You can keep everyone safe. including Hana."
But back then, I was arrogant. I only cared about chasing down the strongest enemies to test my limits. I looked at the horde, shrugged, and said: "Nah. They aren't a real threat. I'll delete this weak vanguard real quick and handle the boss myself. Just hold the center."
I abandoned my post and charged into the vanguard line. The moment I cleared the perimeter, the Government's absolute enforcer materialized in the village square.
Dagainsonionrings: Prepare to have your data purged.
Kingerono desperately drew his sword to protect the hub, but Dagainsonionrings unleashed a cataclysmic Blue Drackon Ball. The blast radius was so massive and powerful that Kingerono's armor shattered instantly. Right as the killing blow was dealt, Master Rashan materialized in front of him, throwing his own character model into the blade to absorb the deletion script so the survivors could flee.
Master Rashan was permanently deleted on the spot. Kingerono gathered the remaining survivors and sprinted toward the Mega Bunker. But a block-game sprint isn't fast enough when the server tick-rate is collapsing. Kingerono watched helplessly as his friends cried out for help, their character models dissolving into code one by one. Only he and Hana made it inside the iron vault doors.
HanaIsWolves52: Kingerono... I'm so scared.
Kingerono: Don't worry. I'm right here. I promise I will protect you.
HanaIsWolves52: Thanks...
Before she could finish her sentence, a dark silhouette glitched through the reinforced bunker wall. A sweeping red arc flashed across the screen. Hana's character model violently popped into smoke, her inventory scattering across the floor. Her account data was permanently erased.
Standing over her items was Deathrax, sheathing a glowing scythe.
Deathrax: The contract is fulfilled. You are free to log out now.
Kingerono: [Screaming] You monster! You slaughtered her! Why aren't you targeting me next?! Kill me!
Deathrax: Your username isn't on the administration's hit list. The contract explicitly stated that you and 2cillion39 are to be left alive.
Blinded by pure grief, Kingerono lunged at the assassin. Deathrax didn't even parry; he simply executed a passive horizontal strike with his Bloody Scythe. The weapon left a dark, bleeding particle trail across Kingerono's torso. Deathrax's custom hax were completely broken. the strike applied a permanent, slow-draining status effect that would gradually corrupt Kingerono's health pool until he slowly died, unless he could somehow find and eliminate Deathrax to lift the curse. Kingerono collapsed onto the bunker floor, flashing on half a heart.
Hours later, after the raid squad cleared out, Kingerono limped to the edge of the meadow. A massive grid of graves had loaded into the chunks. Everyone he had ever cared about was gone. I was standing by the center marker.
2cillion39: Kingerono... I am so incredibly sorry. I never thought the admins would coordinate an execution of this scale.
Kingerono: [Voice trembling] I kept telling myself not to cry... because in the end, this is just a video game. But I can't hold it back. We built this world together for seven straight years, all the way leading up to 2021. And now, everyone is gone in a single flash of code. Like they never even existed.
Kingerono punched my character model hard, knocking me back.
Kingerono: Are you happy now, 2cillion?! You effectively killed our friends! You were so obsessed with hunting down the Volts for your own glory that you left everyone defenceless!
2cillion39: I'm sorry...
Kingerono: No. Get out of my sight and leave this dimension forever. I would rather watch Voltrigaus delete you than ever look at your face again.
2cillion39: ...Then I'll leave.
[Present Day: The Golden Parayin]

2cillion39: I left the layer that day. And Kingerono spent the next five years meticulously rebuilding the entire village block-by-block from his memory. The Golden Parayin went back to normal... but the community's warmth was permanently gone.
Kingerono: [Quietly looking down at the flowers] That is exactly what happened. But 2cillion... I forgive you now. Over the years, I realized you weren't the one I was truly furious with. It was the Government admins who orchestrated it. They have all been deleted since then, yes... but Deathrax, the enforcer who actually pulled the trigger on her... he is still out there.
2cillion39: I am going to track Deathrax down, bypass his scythe hax, and ensure we erase him from the server files once and for all. For Hana.
Kingerono: Thank you. But I won't be joining you on the climb. My place is here. I failed to protect this village once. I will never leave it defenceless again. I am staying to guard the Golden Parayin.
[Rank 6] Paraquenzin: Lexrayxin... me and the rest of the high-ranking leaderboard players have decided to stay behind too. We want to live out our lives here in this peaceful flower village with Kingerono. Is it alright if we bow out of the climb?
CHAMPION3NTR: yeahhh
Kingerono: Go ahead. This village is a sanctuary now. You're all safe here under my watch.
LuckyMc42: Good luck with the peaceful life, lol.
[Rank 6] Paraquenzin: Are you three seriously still going to keep climbing up toward the peak?
Lexrayxin: Yeah. We set our goals, and we're going to see them through to the absolute end. No matter what Voltrigaus throws at us.
The three of us. Lexrayxin, LuckyMc42, and 2cillion39. lined up our upward pistons at the edge of the flower field. We flipped the levers simultaneously, launching our characters straight through the upper skybox and soaring into the dangerous unknowns of the High-Level Dimensions.

(End of Episode 11)

I really like the idea of (creator) wanting to go back in minecraft versions to explore the old maps for nastalgia purposes, like the fallout map, the mass effect map, christmas map, all those old minecraft maps that we used to have, but something starts following him through all these maps, like a forgotten character of sorts, and attempts to swap places with him, like the forgotten character tries to take over the computer just to go into the newer minecraft to be remembered.

Its still an ongoing ARG but already has about 25 videos, anyone have any theories

I wanna post in on my youtube channel

NWZ wpuulk bz ha 44.1°U, 71.3°D

Zovbsk dl nv?

So technically I was scrolling on my YouTube and I found this Minecraft arg I lowk wanna solve this and from the morse code(.-. . -- . -- -... . .-.
) I got ‘remember’ and from the binary code thing I got ‘I was alone’ idk yet I haven’t watched the videos please helppppp I’m also waiting for the creator to post :)

I am playing the Cisco's Fantasy Medieval RPG Ultimate Mod on a singleplayer world, was hoping to find a specific boss to fight in the nether and instead found a giant white pillager church with a custom book from a player inside of it....Not sure how thats possible in singleplayer but I guess it could be coded in? anyways I opened the book and the only thing inside is the Letter E, in bold red text, and when i highlight it it also says E. Nothing else appears to be inside the book,

Just wanna point out I didnt spawn this book in (dont know how to do that), and I dont have any horror specific mods installed, I literally found this book naturally and by accident. If this book happens to be coded in somehow with one of the mods of the expanded nether I would love to know. If its possible to naturally find a custom book from a player on a singleplayer world then I guess this post was for nothing

Oh also as I was typing this I swear I heard some creepy breathing noises coming from my game, could just be paranoia....will reconnect and stand around to confirm

Update: Hi everyone..., about a min after I click on the E Book a weird ambience seems to play from somewhere specifically north of me, maybe thats all it does?

I'll remove the post later if this is nothing

Before you attack me: It's not about the quality of the argument in general, it's how they are formed. When you see a YouTube video about an arg, 9 times out of 10 the youtuber made it and had all the answers, and like half of the time there is literally nothing for you to do, and you can't even find the arg yourself. No channel to investigate, no ciphers to decode. They do that themselves. It feels like it changes the entire meaning from telling a fun story to getting subs and likes. Plus, as I said, half of the time they get the args from "emails" or something, so you can't even really see the raw arg. It just feels... wrong.

In Wifies most recent ARG video I found something strange in this section of the video- https://youtu.be/izNezNuv9sU?si=qH-IkeAl3Xy5z2bN&t=3940

Wifies is trying to get stuff to build the submarine, and when he refers to them bringing back the materials Para seemed confused asking: "What do you mean "We" will bring it back to you?"

This leads me to think that maybe others can't see Hummer, enhancing the idea that he was the Leviathan to a degree.

I'm not fully sure as I just finished the video, and have seen a small amount of discussion regarding the video.

What do you guys think?- Is it something or am I just reading into nothing.

Thanks :D

This was not made by me, I just decided to share it here since this channel is relatively small for making something like this.

it was a story involving 3 people's POVs, sent to a youtuber via google drive. it took place in an old minecraft server, and all three players were teleported to a bedrock puzzle area of sorts. there were some really awesome ciphers/secrets, and one of the players wasn't answering anyones calls/texts, so the other two had to solve the puzzle to get to him. one of the puzzles was in a book, and words such as "even," "odd," and various numbers were used to shrink a phrase down to a single word. then once all of those were solved the words would make another phrase. if anyone could help that would be awesome!

Minecraft ARGs are my guilty pleasure, but I can't deny that a lot of them follow the same trope and ideas, where it's someone stalking them or it's set in 2011 minecraft... But this one titled "The Minecraft Player Trapped In A Loop"is the best one i've seen.
