[@mopishlynx2323]

I can hardly believe the herobrine stream had been lost; I saw it years ago on youtube when I was a kid. It's a weird feeling now knowing I've seen something that, likely, no one will ever see again

[@mopishlynx2323]

I don't believe it was the remake; it wasn't like that

[@nar2cc]

That's really interesting! I hope it'll be found, I'd hate it if I was to never be able to revisit a childhood video but it lingers on in my mind.

[@oligangstaa]

Yes! I saw it too! Before the remake was even made. I believe it exists somewhere.

[@schmecklin377]

I feel like there were a lot of herobrine videos back in the day that referenced and showed footage of thag stream before the remake was ever made

[@mopishlynx2323]

I wanna say it was in a video *about* herobrine, like a compilation of sightings or an explanation of the myth

[@Shuji_the_great]

Just gonna throw it here. Jerma used to stream minecraft on youtube live early on his youtube character, but they're currently lost today. There is also scaretheater's videos about Casey's cave that are lost, among just a few i know youtubers whose content related to minecraft are lost.

[@EngineMusic]

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen! welcome to episode one of Jermacraft! the series where I play minecraft, this is going to be a single player let's play, and when I say "let's play" I use that term pretty loosely because I am an idiot in this game. You're gonna see lots of fails, your gonna see lots of triumphs, at least I'm hoping, so go grab yourself a nice hot cup of coffee, hot cup of coco. I got apple cider right here freshly brewed. Let me take a sip, ah that's some good cider!

Im not sure if this counts as lost media or not because we never truly had it in the first place, but all the dev builds of minecraft that have things that simply were never released are really interesting. For example colored planks were gonna be in the game at one point, and also the quiver was teased to return in 1.9 with new inventory slots and everything.

[@fungo6631]

I wouldn't call it lost media, as it wasn't publicly available.

[@asinski324]

I think it belongs more into cut content instead

[@humbloom]

Yeah cut or unreleased media would be better for this

[@deediedededoe]

There used to be a series on KZbin called "the bedrock angel" it was like the yogscasts "shadows of israphel" series and had a decent amount of episodes, I only remember the first video being a showcase of creative mode because it came out around that time and he eventually dug straight down to bedrock and broke it, he then fell into a dark room made from bedrock and saw some guy with a skin on pretending to be the so called bedrock angel I have looked all over and couldn't even find a single mention of this series on the internet or anybody that remembers it

[@9mrm]

I remember that and watched it as a kid too lol. I think the "bedrock angel" was just a girl skin with red eyes or something. I'm pretty sure I saw it recently-ish (last few years) I think there was something to do with an owl too? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKfMe5Jsn7Z7d68si=RnqVyHyvMYmtuQlZ Found it!

[@thed4ylight0wl]

It was called "The Daylight Owl" series. I briefly was into mythology as a kid around 2013 and read somewhere that owl's were often omens of evil or death and it was bad luck to see them out in the daytime. Further googling led me to the series by Deathmatch Gaming, and I probably used it as inspiration when I used my one free gamertag change, TentacledOwl99 to TheD4Ylight0wl. From the looks of it, views petered out hard across the three seasons from hundred thousands to only thousands, and it ended late 2018. So the series is still here, the character was called the daylight owl, the room was actually just stone and vines, and I also completely forgot about it until you commented this!

[@Kersplunkle]

I remember this, it was actually called "the daylight owl" Not sure where it went or why it was deleted, shame cause it was pretty cool to kid me

[@deediedededoe]

@@Kersplunkle thank you so much I've been looking forever but I finally found it Thanks to you man Just search up the daylight owl and click the speed art video that shows up first, it has a link to the first episode of the series in the description

Finally Evil-Ville's castle has been acknowledged by someone :O. I'm still trying to find a copy of it but I hope that it's still out there somewhere.

[@lithium444]

I have my own version of Minecraft lost media regarding a survival map, but all I remember was that the map was made somewhere around 2014-2017, and was set on an island surrounded by a huge jungle, the spawn was in the middle of the jungle and it had rivers running through it surrounded by tall trees, an old rope bridge that spanned over a sinkhole in the jungle, a giant ancient gate in the middle with a dungeon inside and a grassy roof that was a garden, and mountain ranges with waterfalls that lead to a giant river and a giant stone tower on an island in said river, the entire island was also surrounded by a giant circular waterfall like the one in the Battlefield stage in Smash. So far I can't find the exact map since there's hundreds of tropical island survival maps on Planet Minecraft and the forums

[@oimatewhatyouonabout8526]

think ive seen this semi recently, someone archived it but i cannot remember the name

[@slimer682]

There’s this one map I remember by the name of Voxelund. Unfortunately, it isn’t available anymore as the download link is gone but I don’t know if someone out there still has it.

[@jonskillings1258]

Was it part of the Super Hostile maps? If you needed to collect colored wool, it probably is.

[@MrFranklinWest]

I just started the video and just wanted to say great choice of music at the start. I play 3008 on Roblox more than I should and the Friday theme slaps. Also I noticed a lot of comments commending your music choice. Keep up that good work and personal touch bro

[@VY_Canis_Majoris]

@@TheDMChannelPerplexity Like one showcasing an old triple chest bug. Not spawning naturally but perhaps a glitch or hacked. The replies under my comment on SalC1's video about triple chests gives potential info about the video. I also remember a video called something along the lines of "8 minutes of Minecraft". All I remember is one scene with a room that was white and had a painting which was a pixelated version of the Mona Lisa.

I remember a random video showing off a texture pack and the guy who made the video built a really cool underwater museum thing to showcase the textures. It was a really cool build but I don't remember the title so I can't find it.

[@iLauu]

i remember one, back when i was a kid and scared of the game (alpha versions) which was a gameplay of someone showcasing one of their tunnels traveling in a minecart, it was a huge tunnel or at least thats how i remember it. i tried finding it like 8 years ago and i couldnt find it so, maybe it got deleted

I have my own personal lost media in minecraft. There used to be a server I would play on. It was called something like "nixiumcore" or something similar. I played a zombie apocalypse game mode where you had this castle town hub or safe zone and you could go outside scavenge and fight zombies. I think either the game mode itself was called "dented shield" or that phrase was part of the server name. Either way I can only assume this server has been shut down long ago as I have tried multiple times to find it for nostalgias sake, and have never been able. It seems that there Is literally no trace of it left anywhere and it still bugs me a little to this day.

This video reminded me of a survival island series I'd watched when I was about 10 or 11, it only had 21 episodes and one of the people making it was named "joepass" or some variation of it. It was only in the last video that they finally made beds, and put them inside a building with a piston door. I can't find it anywhere now, but I used to take a lot of inspiration from their buildings as a kid.

[@darksould0471]

The screenshot of the smoking video is from my favorite youtuber from when i was a kid: Namemethos, he always made piston redstone houses back in the day, the zigarette pack was one of them

[@Amalakite.Finley]

There’s one that I used to watch as a kid, all I can remember was herobrine living in like a volcano or something, and a character in the series living in like a secret cave turned into a little bunker type thing next to a beach. He’s trying to kill herobrine maybe but can’t due to obstacles interfering in the process, and herobrine messing with his sanity. I really can’t remember too much about it but I’ve recently tried to find it due to my reinstated interest in Minecraft again, to no success. Any help would be appreciated, because I’m truly coming to the conclusion that it’s just lost and or deleted from KZbin.

[@matthewdunham4]

KingKousky used to have a very popular Minecraft lets play with one episode where him and his sister anna died in a desert temple since he didn't know how the trap worked. Was like the first Minecraft series I ever watched but its been deleted and no where to be found today :(

[@Grass5663]

This reminds me of a Minecraft creepypasta short i saw 2 years ago .I was scrolling shorts on 2021 or 2022 when minecraft shorts were popular. One day i scrolled to a minecraft short about a person having an armor stand with a sword. The person turned and the armor stand killed the person. It was a troll edit with a phonk song. It is 100% real short and i cannot find it anywhere. I think the armor stand also moved but i am not that sure about that. I remembered it after 2 years because i played a minecraft world where my armor stands started to act weird. It was made in 2020, 2021 or 2022.

There was a popular Polish Minecraft series created by user Nolif666, similar to Yogscast's Shadow of Israphel, about an abducted survivor of an Alien Invasion, simply called "Minecraft Aliens" There were 4 'seasons' produced, and while the entirety of the first season is archived, there are a handful of episodes that have been lost since Nolif666 had to private all his videos because of the use of copyrighted music, and later moved channels. I don't know if any recovery efforts were attempted, but given its popularity I reckon there would have been but unsuccessful. Nolif actually is still relatively popular on Polish KZbin.

[@rover908]

I remember watching polish Minecraft videos back in 2010~2012, I actually tried an absurd amount of times to find them years later but without the title, YT name or at least something that stood out. All I have is just ultra low quality recordings I took of said videos as a kid

[@ALTEMERI]

there's one minecraft series that i remember watching back then. it was about a dude playing minecraft, but when they went to sleep, they were somehow outside of their player's body, and it would never wake up. one scene i remember is that there's this giant slime thing attacking the guy, and out of nowhere, he gets a shotgun and looks back at the slime monster who roars really loud. i also think i remember there being a really deep hole in the center of the map, and the map itself was small and flat.

Not mentioned in the video. I remember around 2012 seeing a video uploaded to C418's channel, playing a really early version of Classic where he entered a (wooden?) block building with various rooms. IIRC, he when to different levels. Each level would play different music until he reaches the roof. None of them are used in Minecraft but some (or all) may have been C418's own music. After being on top of the roof, he looks around and walks out, falling into a pit. It then cuts to some text saying something like "Mushrooms and tall grass coming soon".
