evil ghost possesses a server and floods a it with mobs pouring out of some white structure
@@jess648 White,? pouring out,? JUST LIKE MY C-
hundreds of creepers appearing out of nowhere and inexplicably transforming into cows just has to be the funniest minecraft mystery I've ever seen
Lots o beef. It’s the tastiest apocalypse
"The cows are everywhere. There are too many of them, hundreds and hundreds. A sea of cows, a bovine tsunami. These cows suffocate the Minecraft client, bringing it to its knees. Framerates drop to sub-integer levels. Cows and cows and cows and cows. How many? I'm not sure, but I do know that it's too many, an unnatural amount."

it's a bug that was also covered in one of bugmancx videos in the "minecraft the journey" series.
In some versions mob spawnpoints are bugged and makes them spawn thousands of mobs on one single block.
Edit: it's Ep 114
Thx for this information! You’re a legend
in the video bugman mentions that in multiplayer he is able to run around his world unlike singleplayer. this is why the players in the server were able to look around and see all the entities that spawned but RGN wasnt
to be honest kind of disseapoining
Nice find! I'll check this out
Just checked his vid out. 46,750 Pigs, lol, and that's after culling some of em. They even ended up in the caves underneath.
Makes sense why movement would work in MP, as servers were better at handling large quantities of entities than singleplayer.
Now I can't tell if brabantia is a clever creeypasta made using an obscure MC Beta bug or a legit mystery.
I actually believe their PC could of blue-screened, probably ran out of memory trying to load immense amounts of mobs simultaneously. Having between 2-4Gb of RAM on avg I can totally see that being a plausible issue.
have
sometimes i still get blue screens while playing beta
I'm pretty sure the operating system's OOM killer should kick in before a full system crash but it could also just be Windows couldn't be fucked to do things properly, wouldn't be a first
I think old Minecraft versions just really rub some GPU drivers the wrong way tho, a friend of mine had constant system crashes when playing Minecraft versions that ran on Java 8 because it somehow rubbed the Nvidia driver the wrong way (I had no issues on the Intel and AMD GPUs I had on hand)
so while it's plausible that the system ran out of memory, it's also possible (and more likely assuming Windows has an OOM killer that kicks in properly) that the GPU driver had a stroke trying to render it and it and when Windows saw the driver crash it blue screened to prevent the system from running in a broken state
Could of lol
I've had a crappy Windows 7 laptop bluescreen on me when I was playing on a server before lol
The random feathers around the place would fit with the "zombie apocalypse" comment as the corruption replaced the cows into zombies, died by the day and dropped feathers around that version before the world was saved
This sounds completely plausible. The initial chat messages say it's a zombie apocalypse, so I would guess the zombies got replaced by cows, then turned back into zombies, and died in the daytime as you said. The original forum poster may have just misremembered the zombie infestation as being creepers instead
Yeah this video needed a bit more research. How would you miss something like this? I was screaming at my screen for ages
did zombies drop feathers back in 1.2/1.3?
@@tacticallemon7518 yeah they drop feathers in all the beta minecraft versions up until 1.7.3, I don't think rotten flesh existed until beta 1.8 and then into official release, so feathers were used as a placeholder item in all versions prior
@@muffinman3052I don’t think they turned “back into” zombies, rather they only turned into cows when loading a backup.
The sequence of events is probably:
-zombie clusters spawned because of the version weirdness discussed in this video (A and B)
-zombie clusters dispersed for some reason (C)
-zombies died in sunlight (D)
But because beta minecraft was glitchy, zombies got turned into cows when the world is reloaded.

I think this moment single handedly took the seriousness away from the video
LOL
As you were mentioning all the files and the server log I was thinking: "Wow, this is a really well made ARG".
But is not.
The most plausible reason: it corrupted while downgrading.
So it’s real, and not an ARG?
Thanks
If I recall this isn’t even the only instance. In a series called “Minecraft: the journey”, specifically episode 114, a very similar bug occurred but instead of cows it was pigs
@@DoublePulse21-gv4ox It's an old bug that causes thousands of mobs to spawn on a single block, combined with the silliness and constant obscure bugs of beta Minecrafts code it all makes sense
@@Beepers559 And chickens too. He deleted the pigs with MC edit and the bug happened again with chickens.
He tried deleting the chickens but couldn't. The thousands of chickens occupied the same block and MC edit thought there was only one chicken to delete.
He had to modify the save file manually.
@@tomhsia4354 what’s weird is that I’ve never ever experienced this bug, but if you have to modify a save to fix it then that sounds like a pretty big bug

Ok dude im gonna be honest ii watched the video for 1 second with the audio muted @@KyanoAng3l0
@@KyanoAng3l0crazy bro thats soo impressive right?!? 🤯 (yes im also making fun of the person being dumb)
The number E represents entity counts, the first number is the number being rendered at once, and the second number is the total the *client* is aware of. At 9:55 that is 22 thousand cows. As others have stated, there used to be a bug where entities spawned under certain conditions did not count towards the mob count. Minecraft always tries to aggressively maintain around 70 hostile mobs (probably different in older versions.) So it would spawn a batch of creepers, the hostile mob count wouldn't increase, so it would spawn more later.
At some point either through save corruption or update corruption the entity ID for these creepers got set to cows. I assume cows is probably the fail-safe ID for conversion of entities. The intense lag you feel is minecraft trying to calculate very very long ticks, trying to process entity collusion. This is why watchdog was later implemented forcing ticks to be limited to a maximum length of ticks.
Funny enough, MCEdit would easily fix this, as it has the ability to delete entities in mass. I experienced a similar issue on one of the first servers I hosted. instead of creepers it was squids. A single chunk was multiple megabytes of squid.
Entities used to also be saved at whole number positions which would often cause them to clip into fences and thus be able to break out of pens. This bug took many many tries to fix, and is probably still not fully fixed to this day.
cows are the failsafe i think... Ive seen this happen before when i used to play beta mc. especially one time when the power went out as i was saving and exiting because i was worried of the very thing that happened. nonetheless this is also very easy to see as is they had a zombie megainvasion then a creeper one the two entities would both get turned into one mob should data for said mob not be able to be found or was corrupted as a failsafe.
@@yogfan1139
Mc really said "c o w"
"multiple megabytes of squid" is a hilarious image.
I love that this spooky story may be completely true and explained by spaghetti code
It's possible that it was zombies instead of creepers because of the chat log saying it was a zombie apocalypse and that zombies used to drop feathers on death. So it's possible that zombies spawned on 1 block and lagged the game, and after an update it turned into cows, then another update reverts them back to zombies and they all died because of daylight.
I actually remember this map from back in the day.
I was scared as fuck playing this map although nothing was there, except edgy signs.
Also there was an update video but I don't remember what spicycrap said (it was 10 years ago)
there was never an update video from what i remember. i used to check his channel a lot to see if he had uploaded an update video back then, but i don't remember ever seeing one

The one in this beta savefile features a crafting table, furnace, bed (+ an extra one), ice as well as a ladder going down stairs. The layout is different, but that's a lot of similarities to the actual igloos we got.

I thought this was going to be some generic ARG, but that was actually really interesting. You definitely missed some huge aspects of it though. One of the biggest glitches that happened here was the strange "mob conversion", for lack of a better term.
We see this in the written story (creepers turning to cows), but without the later evidence that just seems like a lie like the quartz structure. However, in save D there were feathers at all the locations of the cows, and at that point in time there were chat logs about a "zombie apocalypse" and zombies everywhere. Here's the kicker; in Beta 1.3 zombies dropped feathers. Given this, what happened now makes a little more sense:
The corrupted world generated a massive amount of creepers, which then either converted to cows or despawned (since the cows were all stacked together at first, I believe the cows spawned separately after the creepers). The cows then lagged out the server quite a bit, and eventually unpacked. Then the final glitch happened; the cows converted to zombies (what was mentioned in the chat logs), and the zombies all burned in the sun and dropped feathers, shortly before Save D occurred.
And the last thing; given this was some kid in 2011, the PC used at the time was probably horrible even by their standards. I find it hard to believe the PC wouldn't bluescreen near all those cows.
I don’t think this is an arg
@@copyandpaste2052I think that’s what they were saying in the first paragraph.

@@RetroGamingNowagreed! Your channel is amazing!
@@RetroGamingNowagreed you channel is absolutely amazing I can't believe I just found out about u.
Reminds me of a bug I had on my creative world.
The nether and the end doesn't exist in my world despite me going there in creative mode many times before. Even custom dimensions with datapacks I could enter, but the two vanilla dimensions were a no go. In fact the terrain is still saved and could theoretically be accessed, I was wondering how it happened and it intrigued me. It was a caused by a game breaking bug.
The cause of it was due to the of the prerelease snapshots for saves and cliff part 1 corrupting the world generation file, causing it to be wiped and be blanked, minecraft at least tried to alleviate the problem by loading the last set of settings used or try to generate a new set of settings, but even that failed, possibly being a custom superflat world, or messed with datapacks. The world was impossible to open, 5 years and it was gone, but I never deleted it, because maybe when caves and cliffs part 1 fully came out, it would fix the bug with it's upgrade features. When it did nothing happened, it kept showing the error that the map generations settings have failed to load and gave me to option to 'disable the data pack' or go back to title. Since it was an actual vanilla minecraft issue, clicking the 'disable the data pack' button didn't do anything and it kept showing the error since there wasn't a datapack to disable to begin with.
I was somewhat distraught, I had some good redstone stuff I made and command block things, as well as pixel art and random buildings I've created, but it was all for naught.
When caves and cliffs part 2 came out, it strangely fixed the bug, the world was able to load without showing the error screen.
However when I tried to enter the nether and the end neither portal worked. I fell right through the end portal, and the nether portal never transported me no matter how long I waited, not even in creative mode. So while i can now reenter my world it was only the overworld. I checked the reason and it was because the game only 'upgraded' the overworld to the newer overworld height, so it generated the relevant JSON data tags associated with such a change and it was a superflat void world just like before somehow 'fixing' the overworld.
When I checked the generation settings the nether and end were not included in the map generation settings at all. They are still blanked out to this day.
Funny enough I could 'manually' re-add the Nether and End via a datapack and could get them back again, but it was a silly bug regardless.
And please, always backup your saves. That was the ONE time I didn't backup a save and nearly wiped a world.
Thank you for such story! This was oddly super intriguing and a good moral to show it!
To truly backup a world you just meed to extract the world files and save them externally no? Keeping them im a far file would be better no?
Nothing better to watch late at night than an RGN video. I absolutely love these.

There were several explosion holes in the ground so the quartz grave could have been blown up, it could also have been snow or some other white block that he mistook as quartz, if any such blocks existed

@@AndrewIdot Act 2 is also extremely volatile, as the story makes wacky new twists regularly and each new development is as crazy as the last. It'll be a while before a proper video can actually take place,
This was incredibly interesting! Please do more deep dives into code and files like this, I couldn't look away
Yahoo, Retro is back! And what a fun little mystery to unravel indeed; I think you said this once in a previous video, but it seems that a big part of the mystery of early Minecraft creepypastas is no longer possible to recreate due to our understanding of bugs. Inexplicable occurrences, such as chunk errors or mob spawning issues, would have been strange and frightening to young and/or inexperienced players, who would have blamed them on supernatural phenomena. Additionally, Minecraft itself was a new game then, lending more credibility to the mystery. Now, we can simply attribute these things to incompatibilities between updates and corrupted data. The naivete is gone. But hey, at least we still have these leftover gems to explore, and we can suspend our disbelief with ARGs and relive the romance of the haunted Minecraft world.

This is my favorite Minecraft channel, it gives such a mysterious vibe and a very unique feeling, something no other Minecraft youtuber has. I would actually love to watch all his videos over and over.
The creepy music and ominous monologue about the amount of cows "a tsunami of cows" combined with the cows and their ridiculous, goofy faces all looking at you makes me burst out laughing 😂
Okay, I'm less than a minute in and this is crazy coincidental.
This morning I had a long wacky dream that took a lot of turns. One of the main turning points happened to be when me and my group were in a hotel coming up with a game plan. A villain showed up and I escaped the hotel. When I came back, there was an obscene amount of Minecraft mobs (Before this, Minecraft was not involved whatsoever). Most of the mobs were Zombies but some were Creepers as well. I could barely walk without taking damage because of the severe density of the hoard within the hotel.
This is so mysterious I’m not even that far in and I already can’t stop watching
Seeing some of the chat log and the players just chatting is kind of giving me the feels. (did not read all of it though.)
This is interesting to me because it reminds me of an incident that me and my younger sister experienced when we were children. We were playing on a LAN survival world, and we had set up our homes at an NPC village. One day, when we got onto the LAN server, we found that there were pigs EVERYWHERE. We don't know what had happened to cause them, and yet, they were there. We couldn't even go up close to them to kill them because our games lagged to such a degree that it was unplayable (our computer systems back then were really crappy). So we resorted to going into Creative mode and shooting them with arrows, and eventually, I got the idea to drop Splash Potions of Harming II on them from above. We did kill them all in the end, and there was XP and raw pork littered all over the ground. Our games still lagged like crazy when we tried to collect any of it, though, just due to the sheer amount of them clustered all over the place in a 30-block radius.
At the time, we had thought that Herobrine had done it. Especially considering how, while we were trying to kill the pigs, there were a few times where we died (to hostile mobs or something, I can't remember), and every time we died, a message came up in the chat that said "Ouch. That looked like it hurt." We thought it was Herobrine taunting us, so we were sending messages in the chat, yelling at Herobrine to go away and leave us alone. Looking back on this incident now, I know that it was likely just a glitch or bug, but us thinking that Herobrine was the cause of it is honestly pretty funny to me.
Imagine if someone released a book from this video.

you forgot "guidebook"
The main thing you left out here is why did the cows seemingly originate as zombies towards the beginning of Brabantia C, and then turn back into them by the start of Brabantia D? Clearly the "zombie apocalypse" in C followed by thousands of feathers (zombie drop assumedly from them burning in the daylight) a week later alludes to the cows instead having been zombies at 2 seperate periods in time.
I feel like the constant videos being released is hinting to a big video coming out soon, I think he's trying to keep us interested and then boom, hit us with an awesome video
*_We had the SAME problem in unmodded single player!_*
My then-sister had a world that was lost to a tsunami of sheep. The moment you loaded the world a sheep would suddenly start duplicating themselves and splitting off into hundreds of other sheep until the game crashed.
Our corruption happened in 1.7.3 on the Minecraft website, and it's honestly calming to know that we weren't alone in this experience. With a little googling, I couldn't find anyone else who had the same problem.
This entity duplication bug has been documented by a TH-camr called Bugmancx. He also provides two ways of deleting the entities.

They were asking for help in earnest?" Haha great video as always though!
From what I managed to put together.
-Cow spawns got bugged from the downgrade then upgrade of the world
-There were no mass Creeper spawns they just missremembered the spawns
-Cows somehow turned into Zombies (thus the hoards mentioned in chat)
-Zombies died in the sunlight and in Beta they dropped feathers
-Probably made up the structure to get interest so they could get answers, or was remembering another sevrer event that was probably done by a player
I am honetly am shocked a creepy corrupted minecraft world was actually real.
Its good to see you again retro.
I have a question though...
are you going to do another Nguyen (Mark101) analysis video...?
he actually hasnt watched most of the act 2 uploads to my knowledge, so not anytime soon probably
I live for these kinds of videos thank you Retro 🙏
I experienced something like this when I was a kid, but with chickens, in beta 1.7. I also saw a weird "cube" appear, though I remember it being made of either dirt or cobblestone, I can't remember if it was a chunk error or what (But it seemed smaller than a chunk), but right next to my house there were hundreds of chickens spawning. I took pictures, but i never figured out how to upload them because I was a dumb kid and eventually lost that laptop :(
9:24 was genuinely a creepy moment paired with the music, the beta Minecraft's night and that unimaginable sea of cows

9:29 I was interested in and enjoyed the entire video, but this part you did with the cows is just golden.
a sea of cows; a bovine tsunami.
At first I thought it was just another elaborate ARG, but this is actually more interesting.
I remember sometime around 2016-ish on my own minecraft world where I had updated it, only to find that a random chunk from elsewhere in the world had inexplicably copied itself and replaced another chunk that had a structure I had built on it. I was creeped out at first, but then I was mad that the thing that I built had been deleted and replaced with a random world chunk.
me when "I stumbled across":
I think the only true embellishment is likely the Quartz structure mentioned. It is possible that they were playing on a weaker system with 4GB of RAM (not uncommon in 2014) and the system BSoDed when attempting to load after exhausting the memory.
this is a great video! looking forward to see more videos like this!
You should look over the "INTERLOPER" series made by Anomidae, it's very unique compared to all other old 'retro' type content. It's not based off minecraft but about the source engine. Highly recommend

I can actually vouch for this! something extremely similar with the cows happened on my world on mobile, i found it by complete accident in the forest near my house, i saw a cow and wanted to kill it (not really for any reason sense the only thing at the time cows were useful for on mobile was armor) and when i hit it it to me just seemed like it respawned, i had very little sever lag, but the generation of everything else was very unstable, i vaguely remember mobs being able to spawn in broad daylight (with someone’s and skeletons still burning) this at least to me is a very real problem that happened to me, the only difference is i went and fought back against it, which is weird but simple, after about two days of killing mobs and cows (the cows were in the same situation as these in the video where they were stuck together) everything.. well just stopped, the world went back to normal, mob generation reset and was fine again… really weird stuff, i’ve sense lost this world to time unfortunately.
I definitely experienced this in my series as mentioned by a couple of other commentors. I also discovered the bug, but in Beta 1.8, and dug into the details in MCEdit and NBTExplorer to work out what was going on. Something was causing the game to spawn in passive mobs at the same precise location but multiplied to thousands. I encountered the issue numerous times and had to routinely address it unti lthe problem eventually went away.
Is this whole video series real or all fake for content, like creepypasta?
Have you watched towards the end of the video? Most likely real, but we don't know for sure, it's unclear.
Average cow farm of that one friend:
It might be worth booting up the old versions used to make the world in question, and trying to replicate the downgrade-upgrade bug (if that's what it was). Seems to me that it glitch the mob population system, where mobs generate with the world, only for some reason, either the number increased or the spawn rate, to the point it glitched out.
Ah, obscure minecraft mysteries, exactly what I subscribed for

Can someone send a link or tell me the name of the mapping thingy?
