theres also a seed with a naturally generated Nether Portal, i dont know the seed number off the top of my head, but its done when a ruined portal spawned in a woodland mansion, the mansion would catch fire due the lava that spawns, which would eventually cause the portal to ignite, as the ruined portal's obsidian frame configuration allows you to ignite it without moving or placing extra obsidian.

@@Rovantlooking to your responses I think you should do a part 2, where you cover more interesting seeds, cause there are some that you called well-known but imo they are still not so popular and worth telling about
Imagine how many other anomalies there could be in ANY given Minecraft world. Minecraft worlds are huge, there could be secret hidden stuff in a lot more seeds than we think, but they could just be somewhere millions of blocks away from the world center, never to be found.
Thank you so much for covering "new" and interesting anomalies, and not things that other people have talked about before in depth. This video is really informative.
I can see why you'd say that with the snow golems, as there's some videos on them, but I don't think anyone has covered the crashing seeds or the original end portal seed.
naturally spawned snow golems are more common in bedrock edition ( its still rare ) but its more common since they dont need a carved pumpkin to spawn just a regular one works
@@mooing_cowmilk not really sure if they do what i can say that pumpkims are still spawning in colder biomes so i think its still posiblie but i dont have that much information on that subject
Here are a few other anomalies that I know about The monolith seed(s) in Alpha versions, It was cause by an underflow of the height value causing the generation to go literally up side down Seeds that spawns you in lava AND under stone causing you to be unable to do anything, it happened due to the game not finding a valid position (Like in a badlands/mesa) End Dimension softlocking the game due to the center of the end island being hollow at the center, causing the game to hang as it cannot find a y level to place the exit portal at 0,0 Villages with NO houses (Which I found myself but I lost the seed sadly) Nether Fortress with 1 or 0 blaze spawner (also applies to wart room) they are supposed to ALWAYS spawn 2 of each The next one is a bit more complicated, At some point mojang made desert cave generate sandstone under the unsupported sand to avoid cave-ins, well this indirectly caused gravel to do the exact same thing when it was in rivers, and only sometime And it wasn't gravel and sand mixed together as, from the few instances I have seen that, there was no sand to be seen in like 10 blocks from the sandstone/gravel Very weird
Pig spawners man. When 2 dungeons spawn on each other and chest loot data gets written into the spawner, corrupting it, and causing it to use the _default_ mob: The pig.
Odd, I often even today find Nether Fortresses with no spawners. I never think of it as an oddity, just frustrating it means more searching in a dangerous environment.
I remember finding a really small nether fortress back in Pocket Edition that had no nether wart rooms, it was incredibly frustrating because I had already gone a long time without finding a fortress on that world and I had to go out even further to find a new one
There's also naturally generated staircases in a few Minecraft worlds. I think I've come across three that weren't in the Legacy Console nether, where the spawn much more commonly and in the air. The only one I remember though is the seed Glaceon, where there's a short one very close to spawn and leads upwards to the river that the cave it's in separates. The eroded cave is also pretty weird since I don't think blob caves can spawn that big in Java, or at the surface either. Edit: Also I remember seeing a stupidly long mega red mushroom on a bedrock realm
More info on the snowman and why not later versions. Naturally generated snowman only works on versions 1.12 and older, in 1.13 it doesn't check while the chunk is generating, only after, of which any terrain combo would happen before the game even checks for them.
Alright, time to share my unbelievable statistical anomaly. Back on the early days of Xbox 360 Minecraft, I generated two worlds (about 2 months apart) with the same random seed. It's so unbelievable that I've just never bothered telling anyone, since it would immediately be rejected as fake. But it happened, and I still think about it to this day.
For a little help understanding the code blocks in the post saying strongholds werent spawning (@ 2:08 ) look below: First they were setting a integer array variable (a spot in the program's memory that now holds a group of numbers) "cache" (I'll call this "Map" later) to be the result of a integer cache function that stores data for building the world, and has the world's x and z size as arguments. (Basically the width and length of the map) (arguments: data given to a function) Then they were trying to loop over the data in that variable gathered from that function using a specific loop called a "for". (works just like it sounds: do X thing for Y repetitions. [Telling it how many times to loop over the following code instead of looping forever]) but they were looking at the length of the array (the size of it). In the cases of the seeds that weren't working (I.E: IvanTheBlue), the size of the array they created to store the map data was bigger than the size of the map (probably because the integer cache function they used stored more than just map data) and when the for loop tried to look at a spot in the map array {specifically when the loop got to the expected map size [usually counting in code you start at 0, not 1, so Map(MaxXSize,MaxZSize) would have nothing there, since the data for Map(0,0) would have something]} it would throw an error because there was nothing there to read when it expected data, and thus would try to get that data from memory outside the array causing the ArrayOutOfBoundsException.
5:51 actually, as of 1.20.2 RNG is guaranteed based on seeds, so theoretically, there could be a seed in which an enderman picks up a pumpkin as the world loads and places it down exactly on two snow blocks immediately afterwards
@@Rovant That commenter is mistaken. It's true that RNG is seed-related now, but only loot table RNG - i.e. what drops when you kill an enemy. What enemies spawn in the world at what time and what actions they take are still random
For the seeds that dont load, what if you create a world, load its spawn, and then use NBT explorer or other data editor tools to manually change the seed to the crash seed. Spawn will be the same as the original seed but all unexpored and unloaded chunks will be the new crash seed. It would be interesting to see if it crashes when you go away from spawn and load new chunks.
Back in versions where there were only 3 Strongholds/Portals per world, there was a seed found where the game is impossible to complete, as every single portal is obstructed.
The first time I played minecraft it was back when the creative mode window was unusable (no tabs just a big list) and on maybe the second world I made I found a patch under bedrock that was just stone and redstone ore around a lava pool, essentially creating a hole in the bedrock. Ever since then I have always hoped to see something similar, I assumed it was a bug but had no idea how rare it would turn out to be
That’s such a coincidence because I covered that anomaly in part 2 of this series. I call them ghost villages and I showed them in this video if you wanna watch: th-cam.com/video/_gx-fPZdrb8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XCzX57PQ-PXay_cc (it’s anomaly #2 in this video)
I had my insane story about a naturally spawning Snow Golem! I remember playing with my two friends on survival and we were moving out of our temporary shelter. While moving out, my friend from afar saw a Snow Golem just moving about. I told her if she placed a pumpkin on it, but she never had any pumpkins on her. By far the rarest thing I've encountered on survival.
Way way back on pocket edition when survival was first added i found a seed you could not play. It was a giant ice lake with some sand. And that was it no trees anywhere due to the worlds having limited blocks, i just can not remember the seed as it has been 10+ years.
Ive always wondered why some villager houses were cut off randomly. I came across this multiple times already. Everything was normal until you would go to this one house that was only one half of the house
I’ve found a spawned Snow Golem before, it was back around 2014-2015 on my favorite world (a pretty empty snowy biome where I lived on a frozen lake surrounded by hills and caves). I thought it was a normal spawn too and I was very fond of him. Never really questioned it until now.
Bro just dropped the most emotional sentence there at the end and cut the video LMAO. That small sentence really hit home for me man, I've been going through some tough stuff recently and it meant a lot. You have tons of potential, loved the video.
ArrayOutOfBoundsException indicates something tried to get some value from an array, or list, of values that is not in the array (like getting the 8th item of a 3-item-long list). -1 is an invalid index, hence the crash. It's possible the array is a list of valid spawning locations or something similar
Minecraft keeps surprising me, even though I have been playing it for like 12 years at this point 😅 You never know what seed someone will discover next
3:26 hypothetically, it actually *is* possible for snow golems to spawn in newer versions of minecraft taiga villages generate pumpkins, carved pumpkins, and jack-o-lanterns meaning that if one spawns next to a snowy biome like a mountain and the patch generates with the carved pumpkin or jackolantern next to two snow blocks, a snow golem could spawn but this is even rarer than it happening in old versions and have never heard of it happening nor seen it but it should be possible
You asked for some more details on the stronghold generation creating seeds that crash so here we go. It looks to just be a programming bug when searching for a "correct" place to generate a stronghold as you also noted. The code seems to create an array of integers called the "cache" (because these values are read often) with the size of "xSize * zSize" which might be the amount of biomes to check. Then this cache presumably gets populated with values corresponding to the biomes. The crash happens when iterating over the cache to access biomes to check if we can generate a stronghold. The cache can be larger than xSize * zSize and it is iterated over (maximum) as many times as the cache is large and it should be iterated over only xSize + zSize times. When the program does not find any suitable biomes in xSize * zSize it should just give up but instead it keeps iterating onwards and finds a "-1". This -1 is then used as an kndex to access the "biomes" array which is not ok in Java as arrays are indexed starting from 0 causing the crash. Tried to keep this understandable for non programmers but this is in the end a programming error.
Anomaly 2: the golem can spawn naturally in the newest version: when an Igloo and a pillager outpost dummy spawn inside each other. can also happen with snow village house and outpost but both of these will only happen if you put the chunk it's in into lazy mode (a lazy chunk) then teleport (ender pearls or commands) into the chunk with your render distance low enough (or it will crash idk why) and th golem will spawn and the blocks for creating the golem will still be there. So most likely the golem will suffocate in the snow
My first new world killed me before i was fully loaded in. It spawned me just over a ledge over a very deep water cave. Apparently i fell in sank and drowned before i could see or move.
Considering how rare natural snow golems are. It's kind of wild to think that one of the seeds on which they generated just happened to be a legendary one.
On a PS4 edition world in January of 2019. I got the same world as a world I had made about a year prior to that one. Different spawn but the world was practically the same but with chunk errors.
When I was a kid I was playing in a single player world and came across a snow golem I hadnt made and taught herobrine had made it so I got scared and deleted my world...
When I was a kid (mc version 1.6) I had an old deleted world spill into a new world. Old chunks of a world I deleted appeared In the new world. Still a weird thing I remember.
Key thing to take away is that many people out there will say things with absolute certainty and confidence whilst actually being wrong. Keep an open mind fellas.
The person who accidentally discovered the 1 in 5 trillion chance snow golem is proof that you cannot always use statistics to determine whether something is impossible or not. Sometimes, people just get lucky, whether they know the odds or not.
With how many seeds there are, 1 in a trillion isn't even that high of odds..like how 1/10000 would sound like high odds, but if it's 1/10000 new people you meet will be murderers it's not that high once you realize how many people there in the world (just going to another town would meet that amount alone..meaning it's not that high in this case). Same goes for minecraft seeds..there are a huge amount of them, just seeing a trillion is barely anything, it's only scrapping the surface of minecraft seeds. I'd expect people all over the world will probably visit at least a trillion seeds in a single year (especially with speedrunners mass visiting seeds). People go through a lot of seeds! Now if it was like 1 in a sextillion then I may be considering that close to impossible as we're reaching crazy high numbers, trillion isn't too high (high but not high enough for me to believe as possible), high enough numbers it may take a generation or 2 just to roll that once..but ofc it's a one time thing. It's random. So it could just as easily be seen way sooner by pure luck alone! That's why I don't consider singular events to be impossible, unlikely maybe but luck alone could make someone see it. However having that same luck several times or several days in a row is impossible..that's no longer luck or coincidence. That's like seeing a star go out, and then a whole constellation going out at once the next night, that's never gonna happen...
This reminds me of the time i was playing Minecraft a few years ago when i found not one but two woodlen mansions that were split in half right next to each other. It was on the xbox i believe.
I just want to point out that the very fact that it being on Tubi two seed means that it’s technically on every single seed of that version. Due to that timeframe and the amount of blocks in each chunk versus the amount of possible chunks every single possible chunk will occur in each world just organized differently.
Something about 12 eye portals is that it’s impossible for any regular person to get it through chance. The random seed generator Minecraft uses whenever you create a world has a limited amount of seeds it can put in, and it just so happens that every 12 eye portal seed is outside of the naturally generating pool that Minecraft uses
There are some weird things that can happen relating to updating, I found this through a certain world I have. Firstly, it is possible for a world loaded in Infdev and possibly alpha and early beta to naturally disable structure spawning from b1.8 onwards. I discovered this on a world I started on Infdev 20100618 as I needed a mineshaft for something and couldn't get one despite travelling thousands of blocks, along with no villages spawning (I had to get a lot of stuff reset to continue what I had been doing on that world by another person, I was going to get an end portal chunk edited in anyway) I used spectator mode on a backup to confirm no mineshafts were spawning, but dungeons certainly were
the dungeons continued to spawn because dungeons are not considered structures in the same way as things like villages are and are therefore not affected by the "Generate Structures" option
The scariest part to me is how "1.4.2" is actually now considered "early Minecraft". I started in release 1.0.0 and remember when superflat didn't exist yet!
Damnit, I remember seeing a snow golem in the wild in my game years back, accepting that was a thing, and moving on without noting down the seed or anything. Oh well.
I have a weird memory of a snow golem spawning naturally on the edge of a forest and tundra when i was kid. Don't know if it was a dream or not but it would've been around release 1.3
i had a minecraft world on my xbox 360 when i was super young that had natural snow golems that i found when i was exploring the game! i wish i still had the console but it was sold early on in my childhood.
I myself once encountered a very strange, but beneficial anomaly while playing Bedrock Edition on my phone a few years ago. What essentially happened is during one night I decided to test out my new channeling trident on hostile mobs. I took my dog with me, to keep me company and also help me in combat. Things were going as expected, but they later took a tragic turn. Eventually, disaster struck. My dog was killed by a creeper exploding near me. I managed to block the explosion with my shield, but my dog did not survive the explosion. I decided to continue the fight, in order to avenge my dog. This is where things get interesting. When I was attacking a zombie, another dog appeared, killing the target for me. I only had one dog tamed, and he was dead, I saw the chat message. But somehow... another dog was here. This one however had a blue collar, while the previous one had the deafult red one. To this day I don't know what happened there, but I am glad it did.

@@Rovant not necessarily, like WRs when they come out, special runs that stand out because something incredible happened, anything you feel like making honestly.
For the snow golem, the chance of 1 in 5 trillion doesn't surprise me even if two people managed to find them. Keep in mind Minecraft is played by millions of people and that only two were found in the span of about 10 years ! I myself played on hundreds, if not thousands of maps since late 2010, with other players probably doing the same, odds are *someone* can find that in realistic time, and yes, it happened !
I suppose its possible but take this as an example: The completed end portal has a 1 in 1 trillion chance to spawn and this is confirmed. But no one in Minecraft, except dedicated seed hunters using programs, have found completed end portals by chance (it also took until 2015 for a seed hunter to find one). So an event thats 5x rarer would need astronomical odds to be found. Which is why I'm doubting it, but it could be true.
@@Rovant you're right. Though the ease to discover it might help. You can casually walk past a stronghold with 12 eyes in them, never being aware it existed because it's deep underground, while snow golem will spawn on the surface. Still, many players could think it's "normal" and just walk past them so yeah maybe you're right
There are a lot, I mean, A LOT of people who NEVER showed it to anyone else too, so it could be less rare! (maybe a 7yo was playing and there was something rare she didnt notice smh)
No... One in 5 trillion is extremely rare. 12 eye portals are 1 in a trillion, and no one has ever credibly reported finding one randomly. If one in 5 trillion refers to 1 in 5 trillion seeds, that has to be just straight up wrong. The chances of a known seed having one is... 1 in 5 trillion. And there's one on 2b2t. Those odds don't just happen.
I remember, at some point in one of my (Bedrock) worlds back in early 2020, I was just casually playing when the sky texture started glitching, lines would appear in the sky and connect down to the ground and I could even see textures for a texture pack just layered on top of the sky. This hasn't happened to me since.
I feel like naturally spawned snow golems may happen more than we know, because we probably just miss most of them I could even bet that every world must have at least one
While playing Minecraft a few years ago, back in high school, and trying out random seeds, I remember finding a dungeon above ground, but I have no idea what the seed was, sadly

I was actually going to cover that one haha. But I thought it was too well-known so I removed it. Fun fact, that seed also has a glitched end portal as well.
@Rovant that's fair lol, nice video, hope you grow more!
yep, that is dylanDC14's seed
does anyone know what seed and what version it is?
@@Rovantlooking to your responses I think you should do a part 2, where you cover more interesting seeds, cause there are some that you called well-known but imo they are still not so popular and worth telling about
Imagine how many other anomalies there could be in ANY given Minecraft world. Minecraft worlds are huge, there could be secret hidden stuff in a lot more seeds than we think, but they could just be somewhere millions of blocks away from the world center, never to be found.
Yep. There’s no Minecraft world that has been explored fully (because the file size would be too big) so anything is possible!
@@Rovant well, I guess if you have a supercomputer with 100 petabytes of storage you could, but it would take quite a while :P
@@Ceereeal no, like 5 terrabytes is enough to explore the entire world
oh, hi ceereeal! :D
@@waterbucket4358 nope, ~114 petabytes are needed
a naturally spawning snow golem is basically the boltzmann brain of minecraft
never thought about it that way but its true haha
This comment sent me down a rabbit hole. The concept it’s interesting
Thank you so much for covering "new" and interesting anomalies, and not things that other people have talked about before in depth. This video is really informative.
I can see why you'd say that with the snow golems, as there's some videos on them, but I don't think anyone has covered the crashing seeds or the original end portal seed.
naturally spawned snow golems are more common in bedrock edition ( its still rare ) but its more common since they dont need a carved pumpkin to spawn just a regular one works
woah, is that true on the latest version of bedrock?
@@mooing_cowmilk yes you can still just use a regular pumpkin on a snow or iron golem on newer versions aswell
@@toy-star7766 slight confusion between with my msg, was referring to if they can spawn naturally on latest version
@@mooing_cowmilk not really sure if they do what i can say that pumpkims are still spawning in colder biomes so i think its still posiblie but i dont have that much information on that subject

"it's so adorable"
Rovant hitting the snow golem 😂
Here are a few other anomalies that I know about
The monolith seed(s) in Alpha versions, It was cause by an underflow of the height value causing the generation to go literally up side down
Seeds that spawns you in lava AND under stone causing you to be unable to do anything, it happened due to the game not finding a valid position (Like in a badlands/mesa)
End Dimension softlocking the game due to the center of the end island being hollow at the center, causing the game to hang as it cannot find a y level to place the exit portal at 0,0
Villages with NO houses (Which I found myself but I lost the seed sadly)
Nether Fortress with 1 or 0 blaze spawner (also applies to wart room) they are supposed to ALWAYS spawn 2 of each
The next one is a bit more complicated,
At some point mojang made desert cave generate sandstone under the unsupported sand to avoid cave-ins, well this indirectly caused gravel to do the exact same thing when it was in rivers, and only sometime
And it wasn't gravel and sand mixed together as, from the few instances I have seen that, there was no sand to be seen in like 10 blocks from the sandstone/gravel
Very weird
Pig spawners man. When 2 dungeons spawn on each other and chest loot data gets written into the spawner, corrupting it, and causing it to use the _default_ mob: The pig.
Odd, I often even today find Nether Fortresses with no spawners. I never think of it as an oddity, just frustrating it means more searching in a dangerous environment.
It happens especially in buried fortresses, which I only stumble upon.
I remember finding a really small nether fortress back in Pocket Edition that had no nether wart rooms, it was incredibly frustrating because I had already gone a long time without finding a fortress on that world and I had to go out even further to find a new one
@@wallamazoo01 you probably just didn’t find them, especially if they’re not out in the open like you say
There's also naturally generated staircases in a few Minecraft worlds. I think I've come across three that weren't in the Legacy Console nether, where the spawn much more commonly and in the air. The only one I remember though is the seed Glaceon, where there's a short one very close to spawn and leads upwards to the river that the cave it's in separates. The eroded cave is also pretty weird since I don't think blob caves can spawn that big in Java, or at the surface either.
Edit: Also I remember seeing a stupidly long mega red mushroom on a bedrock realm
More info on the snowman and why not later versions. Naturally generated snowman only works on versions 1.12 and older, in 1.13 it doesn't check while the chunk is generating, only after, of which any terrain combo would happen before the game even checks for them.
Alright, time to share my unbelievable statistical anomaly. Back on the early days of Xbox 360 Minecraft, I generated two worlds (about 2 months apart) with the same random seed. It's so unbelievable that I've just never bothered telling anyone, since it would immediately be rejected as fake. But it happened, and I still think about it to this day.
Real murder documentary YTbers: 😃
Minecraft mystery YTers: 💀
Honestly true
For a little help understanding the code blocks in the post saying strongholds werent spawning (@ 2:08 ) look below:
First they were setting a integer array variable (a spot in the program's memory that now holds a group of numbers) "cache" (I'll call this "Map" later) to be the result of a integer cache function that stores data for building the world, and has the world's x and z size as arguments. (Basically the width and length of the map) (arguments: data given to a function)
Then they were trying to loop over the data in that variable gathered from that function using a specific loop called a "for". (works just like it sounds: do X thing for Y repetitions. [Telling it how many times to loop over the following code instead of looping forever]) but they were looking at the length of the array (the size of it).
In the cases of the seeds that weren't working (I.E: IvanTheBlue), the size of the array they created to store the map data was bigger than the size of the map (probably because the integer cache function they used stored more than just map data) and when the for loop tried to look at a spot in the map array {specifically when the loop got to the expected map size [usually counting in code you start at 0, not 1, so Map(MaxXSize,MaxZSize) would have nothing there, since the data for Map(0,0) would have something]} it would throw an error because there was nothing there to read when it expected data, and thus would try to get that data from memory outside the array causing the ArrayOutOfBoundsException.
I always appreciate comments like this, I'm starting to understand it better as time goes on.
5:51 actually, as of 1.20.2 RNG is guaranteed based on seeds, so theoretically, there could be a seed in which an enderman picks up a pumpkin as the world loads and places it down exactly on two snow blocks immediately afterwards
ohh thats interesting. maybe someone will find something like that in the future
@@Rovant That commenter is mistaken. It's true that RNG is seed-related now, but only loot table RNG - i.e. what drops when you kill an enemy. What enemies spawn in the world at what time and what actions they take are still random
@@einootspork This. Mobs and spawning is intended to be fairly random, seed doesn't change this or make it non-random.
I love how you know all of these but don't know how to use a campfire
I was wondering why the food wasn't cooking haha
For the seeds that dont load, what if you create a world, load its spawn, and then use NBT explorer or other data editor tools to manually change the seed to the crash seed. Spawn will be the same as the original seed but all unexpored and unloaded chunks will be the new crash seed. It would be interesting to see if it crashes when you go away from spawn and load new chunks.
I ran into an infinite mineshaft when I was 13-ish. Didnt really think about it until years later when I learned about bugged repeating seeds
Back in versions where there were only 3 Strongholds/Portals per world, there was a seed found where the game is impossible to complete, as every single portal is obstructed.
The first time I played minecraft it was back when the creative mode window was unusable (no tabs just a big list) and on maybe the second world I made I found a patch under bedrock that was just stone and redstone ore around a lava pool, essentially creating a hole in the bedrock. Ever since then I have always hoped to see something similar, I assumed it was a bug but had no idea how rare it would turn out to be
I remember finding some naturally spawning snow golems on Console Edition once. Not exactly sure what the seed was, unfortunately.
I remember when i just saw a random carved pumpkin in the sky
Around 2 years ago i found a strange anomaly on Xbox One Edition. It was a village that had no houses, it was all just farm land
That’s such a coincidence because I covered that anomaly in part 2 of this series. I call them ghost villages and I showed them in this video if you wanna watch: th-cam.com/video/_gx-fPZdrb8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XCzX57PQ-PXay_cc
(it’s anomaly #2 in this video)
@@Rovant yeah I actually saw that video right after I posted that comment
I had my insane story about a naturally spawning Snow Golem! I remember playing with my two friends on survival and we were moving out of our temporary shelter. While moving out, my friend from afar saw a Snow Golem just moving about. I told her if she placed a pumpkin on it, but she never had any pumpkins on her. By far the rarest thing I've encountered on survival.

"it's so adorable"
*hits it*
I really like the presentation in this video. Cozy, low-key fireside storytelling about Minecraft obscurities with a relaxed and listenable voice.
Way way back on pocket edition when survival was first added i found a seed you could not play. It was a giant ice lake with some sand. And that was it no trees anywhere due to the worlds having limited blocks, i just can not remember the seed as it has been 10+ years.
amazing video, I loved the concept and editing! I hope I can watch a part 2 of it pretty soon
Thank you! I have some other videos planned but a part 2 will definitely happen.
You should definitely do a sequel including things like the pink sheep plains and repeating seeds
he said he'll only cover unknown anomolies
A sequel is coming soon (after the next video) and yeah I'll be covering much less known anomalies.
I would also enjoy videos on well known anomalies. I just like this guy
Each seeds are so huge that there are probably atleast a very rare stuff in your world but you never saw it
this is actually a really good and interesting video, it deserves more visibility! keep this up!
Ive always wondered why some villager houses were cut off randomly. I came across this multiple times already. Everything was normal until you would go to this one house that was only one half of the house
I’ve found a spawned Snow Golem before, it was back around 2014-2015 on my favorite world (a pretty empty snowy biome where I lived on a frozen lake surrounded by hills and caves). I thought it was a normal spawn too and I was very fond of him. Never really questioned it until now.
Do u still have the world?
It's pretty wild that 2b2t had a natural snow golem.
Bro just dropped the most emotional sentence there at the end and cut the video LMAO. That small sentence really hit home for me man, I've been going through some tough stuff recently and it meant a lot. You have tons of potential, loved the video.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I hope things go better for you and you thrive in whatever you do. You've got this 😎
" Get Out of her, Steve (Stalker). "
ArrayOutOfBoundsException indicates something tried to get some value from an array, or list, of values that is not in the array (like getting the 8th item of a 3-item-long list). -1 is an invalid index, hence the crash. It's possible the array is a list of valid spawning locations or something similar
I love how you take the most dramatic voice to talk about these seeds
once had a village house just spawn over water and the villager couldnt get out
Minecraft keeps surprising me, even though I have been playing it for like 12 years at this point 😅 You never know what seed someone will discover next
That’s a nice message at the end
Wow I love this style of video. I would love a part 2
Thanks! Part 2 will come soon :)
3:26 hypothetically, it actually *is* possible for snow golems to spawn in newer versions of minecraft
taiga villages generate pumpkins, carved pumpkins, and jack-o-lanterns meaning that if one spawns next to a snowy biome like a mountain and the patch generates with the carved pumpkin or jackolantern next to two snow blocks, a snow golem could spawn
but this is even rarer than it happening in old versions and have never heard of it happening nor seen it but it should be possible
the reason it can't spawn in newer versions is because of how hte game checks for it, nothing to do with carved pumpkins not spawning as often
"It's so adorable" *drop kicks snow golem*
You asked for some more details on the stronghold generation creating seeds that crash so here we go.
It looks to just be a programming bug when searching for a "correct" place to generate a stronghold as you also noted.
The code seems to create an array of integers called the "cache" (because these values are read often) with the size of "xSize * zSize" which might be the amount of biomes to check. Then this cache presumably gets populated with values corresponding to the biomes.
The crash happens when iterating over the cache to access biomes to check if we can generate a stronghold. The cache can be larger than xSize * zSize and it is iterated over (maximum) as many times as the cache is large and it should be iterated over only xSize + zSize times.
When the program does not find any suitable biomes in xSize * zSize it should just give up but instead it keeps iterating onwards and finds a "-1". This -1 is then used as an kndex to access the "biomes" array which is not ok in Java as arrays are indexed starting from 0 causing the crash.
Tried to keep this understandable for non programmers but this is in the end a programming error.
Why can cache.length exceed xSize * zSize? Isn't it set to that size?
I have zero experience with programming and you explained it perfectly, thanks
how the hell, out of an ENTIRE WORLD, could it not find one valid spot
Anomaly 2: the golem can spawn naturally in the newest version: when an Igloo and a pillager outpost dummy spawn inside each other. can also happen with snow village house and outpost but both of these will only happen if you put the chunk it's in into lazy mode (a lazy chunk) then teleport (ender pearls or commands) into the chunk with your render distance low enough (or it will crash idk why) and th golem will spawn and the blocks for creating the golem will still be there. So most likely the golem will suffocate in the snow
My first new world killed me before i was fully loaded in. It spawned me just over a ledge over a very deep water cave. Apparently i fell in sank and drowned before i could see or move.
That's very rare! There are also some other seeds that spawnkill you repeatedly
what- that end was so unexpected but sweet :( ❤
I got a seed which made my graphics glitch out like an old PS3 game when you’re out of bounds
Considering how rare natural snow golems are. It's kind of wild to think that one of the seeds on which they generated just happened to be a legendary one.
On a PS4 edition world in January of 2019.
I got the same world as a world I had made about a year prior to that one.
Different spawn but the world was practically the same but with chunk errors.
Wow that's definitely strange
When I was a kid I was playing in a single player world and came across a snow golem I hadnt made and taught herobrine had made it so I got scared and deleted my world...
I am LOVING this series, YAY!
When I was a kid (mc version 1.6) I had an old deleted world spill into a new world. Old chunks of a world I deleted appeared In the new world. Still a weird thing I remember.
Duude same happened to me and no one belived it. I found my old base on a new world and i was mega shocked
that's some herobrine level shit right there
Key thing to take away is that many people out there will say things with absolute certainty and confidence whilst actually being wrong. Keep an open mind fellas.
thats true

my favourite minecraft rare event was that stupidly tall cactus they found after a long hunt
Yeah that was insane
You don't even need Carved pumpkin for Bedrock version as bedrock version can create iron/snow Golem with Normal pumpkins.
The person who accidentally discovered the 1 in 5 trillion chance snow golem is proof that you cannot always use statistics to determine whether something is impossible or not. Sometimes, people just get lucky, whether they know the odds or not.
With how many seeds there are, 1 in a trillion isn't even that high of odds..like how 1/10000 would sound like high odds, but if it's 1/10000 new people you meet will be murderers it's not that high once you realize how many people there in the world (just going to another town would meet that amount alone..meaning it's not that high in this case). Same goes for minecraft seeds..there are a huge amount of them, just seeing a trillion is barely anything, it's only scrapping the surface of minecraft seeds.
I'd expect people all over the world will probably visit at least a trillion seeds in a single year (especially with speedrunners mass visiting seeds). People go through a lot of seeds!
Now if it was like 1 in a sextillion then I may be considering that close to impossible as we're reaching crazy high numbers, trillion isn't too high (high but not high enough for me to believe as possible), high enough numbers it may take a generation or 2 just to roll that once..but ofc it's a one time thing. It's random. So it could just as easily be seen way sooner by pure luck alone! That's why I don't consider singular events to be impossible, unlikely maybe but luck alone could make someone see it. However having that same luck several times or several days in a row is impossible..that's no longer luck or coincidence. That's like seeing a star go out, and then a whole constellation going out at once the next night, that's never gonna happen...

This reminds me of the time i was playing Minecraft a few years ago when i found not one but two woodlen mansions that were split in half right next to each other. It was on the xbox i believe.
underrated channel alert
so cool that snowmen can spawn naturally
I just want to point out that the very fact that it being on Tubi two seed means that it’s technically on every single seed of that version. Due to that timeframe and the amount of blocks in each chunk versus the amount of possible chunks every single possible chunk will occur in each world just organized differently.
Something about 12 eye portals is that it’s impossible for any regular person to get it through chance. The random seed generator Minecraft uses whenever you create a world has a limited amount of seeds it can put in, and it just so happens that every 12 eye portal seed is outside of the naturally generating pool that Minecraft uses
There are some weird things that can happen relating to updating, I found this through a certain world I have. Firstly, it is possible for a world loaded in Infdev and possibly alpha and early beta to naturally disable structure spawning from b1.8 onwards. I discovered this on a world I started on Infdev 20100618 as I needed a mineshaft for something and couldn't get one despite travelling thousands of blocks, along with no villages spawning (I had to get a lot of stuff reset to continue what I had been doing on that world by another person, I was going to get an end portal chunk edited in anyway)
I used spectator mode on a backup to confirm no mineshafts were spawning, but dungeons certainly were
the dungeons continued to spawn because dungeons are not considered structures in the same way as things like villages are and are therefore not affected by the "Generate Structures" option
@@arktya wow. that is a new fact which is extremely cool
The scariest part to me is how "1.4.2" is actually now considered "early Minecraft". I started in release 1.0.0 and remember when superflat didn't exist yet!
Damnit, I remember seeing a snow golem in the wild in my game years back, accepting that was a thing, and moving on without noting down the seed or anything. Oh well.
This just made me fear that one day in my beloved world, the first end portal I'll discover will be likely destroyed by some unfortunate event.
i remember playing on a seed that had superflat world combined with normal world
I liked and subbed because of the campfire stories at night idea

Thank you! I'm glad a lot of people enjoyed it :)
your voice is nice bro, it’s super calming
I have a weird memory of a snow golem spawning naturally on the edge of a forest and tundra when i was kid. Don't know if it was a dream or not but it would've been around release 1.3
3:07 just right click the campfire to cook the fish,the level of pain is like the dvd logo almost hit the corner
... you need to place the pumpkin last to summon the golem lmao
i had a minecraft world on my xbox 360 when i was super young that had natural snow golems that i found when i was exploring the game! i wish i still had the console but it was sold early on in my childhood.
I myself once encountered a very strange, but beneficial anomaly while playing Bedrock Edition on my phone a few years ago. What essentially happened is during one night I decided to test out my new channeling trident on hostile mobs. I took my dog with me, to keep me company and also help me in combat. Things were going as expected, but they later took a tragic turn. Eventually, disaster struck. My dog was killed by a creeper exploding near me. I managed to block the explosion with my shield, but my dog did not survive the explosion. I decided to continue the fight, in order to avenge my dog.
This is where things get interesting.
When I was attacking a zombie, another dog appeared, killing the target for me. I only had one dog tamed, and he was dead, I saw the chat message. But somehow... another dog was here. This one however had a blue collar, while the previous one had the deafult red one.
To this day I don't know what happened there, but I am glad it did.

There's also an anomaly in some seeds that some types of structures are generated in an endless loop every single chunk.
for some reason I have a memory of finding a snow golem that naturally spawned but im probably imagining things
the rarest mob that can actually spawn, so adorable *hits it* lmao

its funny because this video was sitting on 12 views for 2 days so I thought it wasn't an interesting topic 😆. I'm glad people like it tho

(which ain't that good since it was a short but I usually get around 4k)
For the snow golem, the chance of 1 in 5 trillion doesn't surprise me even if two people managed to find them.
Keep in mind Minecraft is played by millions of people and that only two were found in the span of about 10 years !
I myself played on hundreds, if not thousands of maps since late 2010, with other players probably doing the same, odds are *someone* can find that in realistic time, and yes, it happened !
I suppose its possible but take this as an example: The completed end portal has a 1 in 1 trillion chance to spawn and this is confirmed. But no one in Minecraft, except dedicated seed hunters using programs, have found completed end portals by chance (it also took until 2015 for a seed hunter to find one). So an event thats 5x rarer would need astronomical odds to be found. Which is why I'm doubting it, but it could be true.
@@Rovant you're right. Though the ease to discover it might help. You can casually walk past a stronghold with 12 eyes in them, never being aware it existed because it's deep underground, while snow golem will spawn on the surface.
Still, many players could think it's "normal" and just walk past them so yeah maybe you're right
There are a lot, I mean, A LOT of people who NEVER showed it to anyone else too, so it could be less rare! (maybe a 7yo was playing and there was something rare she didnt notice smh)
No... One in 5 trillion is extremely rare. 12 eye portals are 1 in a trillion, and no one has ever credibly reported finding one randomly.
If one in 5 trillion refers to 1 in 5 trillion seeds, that has to be just straight up wrong. The chances of a known seed having one is... 1 in 5 trillion. And there's one on 2b2t. Those odds don't just happen.
I like how you stood around a campfire at night telling these stories. Nice aesthetic. 🏕️🪵🔥
I remember the natural snow golem spawning thing happening a few times over my nearly 12 years with the game easy 10-20 times
i am loving this already
thank you~
I remember, at some point in one of my (Bedrock) worlds back in early 2020, I was just casually playing when the sky texture started glitching, lines would appear in the sky and connect down to the ground and I could even see textures for a texture pack just layered on top of the sky. This hasn't happened to me since.
Nice video, would def watch a part 2
I feel like naturally spawned snow golems may happen more than we know, because we probably just miss most of them
I could even bet that every world must have at least one
While playing Minecraft a few years ago, back in high school, and trying out random seeds, I remember finding a dungeon above ground, but I have no idea what the seed was, sadly
