I think what makes Alpha truly unsettling was the Unknown, Notch kept adding Secret Stuff, there was the Discs, Herobrine-- The Fog-.. The Fog really made you feel like you were being watched. I mean, the feeling that there is something just out of your view, ready to jump you-- Fun stuff.

I truly relate to the unsettling feeling Minecraft gives. I still feel it even with modern minecraft, but it feels incredibly lonely, to the point sometimes its hard to even go inside a cave, because I always get the feeling of being watched, and having a very good imagination doesn't help too much with that. In the end, as much as I dislike feeling such loneliness, it also makes me love minecraft even more on a horror perspective, its quite an unique experience.

I started playing the game in 2013 until 2015, then felt nostalgic and came back to it in 2020, a month before the pandemic actually.

I started playing in 2011-2012, because my childhood friend convinced my mom to buy it for me. So many days and nights playing together with my friends, in such a simplistic version of Minecraft, that creepy liminal vibe that always came back when the boys logged off and you were last in the server.

Old minecraft is like seeing an abandon building. You dont see the culture behind it, except it's remains. Stampy, cavemanfilms, herobrine rumors, everything. It was kids playing with eachother and seeing what others can do. The thing missing is the entire world exploring minecraft at the same time. It was a giant school with different clicks. Now mapmakers make money. Redstoners creates Redstone communities with more Redstone. They've grown more and away. They don't meet in the middle as much as they did back in school.

[@TusksTheAxew]

Legendary video. You put into words what i couldn't properly for years. Very well put together and a great job putting everything on display! Minecraft unironically shook young me more than any horror game did at the time, even more so than singleplayer Gmod used to creep me out. The fog, the quiet loneliness, the naive thought that Herobrine would come after me in the game, just how dark the night and caves were, God forbid Disc 11...I feel a little silly admitting i couldn't play it very much until i grew up a few more years.

I actually feel a lot more alone in the newer versions. The old versions are calming for me.

Older versions make me feel like that world needs me, and it’s more comfortable than anything.

[@Pastellera2video]

[@Wintergael127]

I feel like people always miss an extremely important part of why early Minecraft was so haunting; the lighting. Lighting is such an important part of ambience, and Minecraft is no exception! Thing is, early Minecraft had an extremely basic, unnatural-looking lighting engine. This, on top of the unsettling audio, empty fog, and overwhelming feelings of a lonely nostalgia, lead to a very eerie experience, especially in the modern day.

[@Wulfjager]

Back in beta Minecraft, my second Minecraft world was on a beach and I noticed a sheep looking down at a sand pit. I thought maybe it was showing me something I should dig. It looked up at me then looked back down at the bottom of the pit. I decided to start digging in case there was buried treasure (which did not exist in beta 1.7) and then at one roar cave ambience played. I had no idea wtf a cave ambience was but I darn near crapped myself. I didn't touch Minecraft for months after that one

[@MarvelousButter]

One of the things I think which makes it very creepy, is how there were no real biomes. You had beaches, forest, and cave making everything looking very similar and it was easy to get lost. Also the lack of tall grass really makes the world feel sort of uncanny. You see all the bright green grass and leaves and the occasional flower, but other than that everything feels sort of truman-show-y.

[@cara-seyun]

I never got that feeling It felt more post-apocalyptic or abandoned than fake Though the empty oceans always horrified me, with their flat gravel bottoms

[@trashtuber6021]

The lack of ambient sounds, the mostly constant quiet (except occasionally block or mob sounds) gives of an eerie feeling. I thinks it’s one of the biggest factors for Minecraft’s uncanny atmosphere, even in modern versions

[@DrCheez342]

yeah thats why i really like to breed and trade to villagers or play with my friends. Minecraft is just really too quiet

[@akinarii1]

As someone who didn’t start playing Minecraft til official release 1.6, these old updates always felt so ominous to me for some reason. When I was like 10 or 11 I stayed up super late and was playing Minecraft Alpha in the dark by myself when I was supposed to be asleep. My dad got up to go to the bathroom or something and came into the room I was in to tell me to go to sleep and I don’t think I’ve ever been more scared in my life.

Also tbh. I rarely get that same feeling when playing on newer versions.

Not as major as the alpha but still, that creepy charm might come to you someday where you feel that something is gonna pop up or something...

[@mclovin2408]

I remember playing alpha Minecraft and I always strip mined sometimes for up to 2-3 hours, and I always got so paranoid staring down my endless series of tunnels, sometimes I literally would sprint out of the tunnels thinking something was right behind me, I’d think I see something peeking around a corner at me, I always felt watched so much so I’d start blocking off the tunnel behind me every 20 blocks or so. The game was such a horror game for me back then even when I was geared and nothing could hurt me. This was back when herobrine was a thing, something we all considered to be real. Of course now he as a concept doesn’t exist because the render distance is so great nothing can really trick your mind when everything in the game is so clear. Sometimes the music wouldn’t help relieve my paranoia either, something just felt off somehow, and sometimes the music made my paranoia worse.

Even today I still think that Heribrine existed at some point between the Alpha versions, and I remember it because strange things happened to me that I couldn't explain but in the Xbox 360 version when it just came out, and I remember running into several videos of people with similar experiences and one where even filmed Herobrine on xbox 360 when the game didn't have multiplayer yet and couldn't be modded. Another fact that I wanted to comment on, since throughout the video you mention that Minecraft has been adding more things over time and makes it less creepy, well there is a theory that says that in reality the chronology of "the history of Minecraft or the Minecraft lore" goes backwards, that is, with each new version we are going back in timeline and that precisely the first versions with an empty world and filled only with fog, is in fact the end of that world.

I started playing in beta, and I did always get this almost creeping sense of loneliness. In beta, the version I started with in particular, 1.5_01, there also weren't very many mobs. Creepers, skeletons, zombies, chickens, pigs, cows and sheep were about the only things in the game. I was never big into horror as a kid, as I had once read a creepy pasta, (jeff) that scared me so bad I decided I was not much into horror. As such, I think the emptiness didnt effect me as much. Everyone knew about herobrine, even back then, and even not being so interested in horror, I also knew about it. But, anytime I'd find a weird 1×1 hole that generated naturally, because occasionally they would, I'd instantly question wether or not I'd done that or of herobrine was there. And I wasn't at all scared, I just wanted to see it. My curiosity was quite the driving factor at the age of 11. Like proving big foot, I just wanted to SEE herobrine. And then screenshot it. X'D I do remember a creeping sense of slight insanity though, and by slight I just mean sometime forgetting wether or not I'd made a hole and going, "uuuuuh..m did I do that?" Only to later remember that I did after a short "that's kinda creepy." Moment. I think my penitent for isolation as an individual has sort of prevented me from feeling that iscolated feeling. That sort of liminal space horror. But the game was quite empty back then.

Ngl I never felt safe in any of my Minecraft worlds. There was one world which was build by me and my bestie for the first time. It was on slopes of cherry blossom mountain. We build a pretty good house and various other cool builds. Now that world was created on my device so only I could join first. One day I was playing alone as my bestie went offline for sometime. As soon as he was gone, I started to feel a strange void. The sounds of fireplace and the bleats of the sheep, everything was making me anxious. For some reason I felt like the sheep and cows looked directly at me staring and following my movements for sometime and it made me think "Am i safe?". I went inside our house and stared out from the window. I could see the builds, so empty and no movement. What if something sinister pops up randomly and starts chasing me ? Or what if something flys past me real quick and vanishes ? It just felt very unsettling.

tbh im not really ever scared alone in garry's mod, not that i cant get scared its just im literally a flying god with most my mods being weapons designed for killing and i can just do sv_cheats 1 god and be unkillable, minecraft is creepier though for sure but its mainly the fear of the unknown thats accelerated by the spooky ahh cave sounds

[@ideac.]

early minecraft pocket edition had that feeling but aplified by 10 i swear to god if you see any old alpha/beta mcpe screenshots you will notice how creepy it used to be ive had that feeling playing ps2 games when i was a child too everything was offline and seeing empty streets/worlds in game would freak me out

[@SuperCat5000]

When I was a kid I never really noticed just how eerie Minecraft was, only getting a little unsettled by the cave noises from time to time

Minecraft’s always made me unsettled depending what I’m doing, even in the newer versions where updates have no secrets to them. It’s the only game that isn’t a horror game, that makes me jump at every dark corner

In my perspective, what makes Alpha Minecraft creepy is how bland everything looks. Comparing it to Modern Minecraft, you'd see their differences. Minecraft today has it's really pretty textures, probably every block's designs have noticeable depth and good shading, despite them only having 16×16 resolution. Combining that with the various little things the game has today makes it really lively. Alpha, on the other hand, is much more simpler. Some of the blocks' textures just appeared to pixels with different lightings mushed together. The lighting is awful and everything just looks like a pixelated MSPaint artwork. You could really feel how it was just a simulation. Overall, Alpha looks like an empty and hollow version of Minecraft, perfect for those who are fond of liminal spaces.

Really cool video! It always feels creepy when I play without music on🤣

[@Dahomeyian]

Great video! Glad to see the algorithm blessed you and I can’t wait to see how you develop your future videos!

one day i'll make a similar game that feels like an innocent game but i'll try to make it as unsettling as possible

cover the left corner of the screen at 2:10 if you're watching this in the dark and don't wanna have a heart attack

No one is afraid of being alone, but rather everyone is afraid of not being alone, this perfectly encapsulated alpha Minecraft.

[@arcusma]

Disc 13 and 11 are most likely recording a creeper attack

What makes alpha unsettling in my opinion is the fact that it feels to lonely no ambiance at all except for the mobs feels to eerie like someone is watching you, take this as a example so if someone is like walking in the Forests in alpha or pretty much any version and feeling like someone is watching them but when they look behind them nothing is there cause of the loneliness when in single player or the fog that gives u the feeling that your being watched is pure horror….
