- They Coded An Entire Minecraft Dimension To Stop Me.
In this video my biggest enemy doctor4t kept a secret from the entire server, It was my goal to solve it no matter what. i recently got took down the entire so in order to repair my reputation I will solve this mystery. Little did i know doctor4t knew i was getting close. So close he would mod in a entire custom dimension based on liminal pools.
I made sure this was my best video so far so if you wouldn't mind liking the video and subscribing it would be extremely appreciated :D!

You have my congratulations for escaping! And my condolences for what's to come...
r4t moment
foreshadowing 👀
yawnnn not even your prison could stop me
@@WinSweepMy brother in Christ, he’s going to screenshot this and make fun of you in his next video
@@omegaoverl0adtrue that is
I love how the lore of this server goes completely into the unreliable narrator trope - you get the feeling that win sweep actually thinks he's doing something good, and that there are people who agree with him until you see events like the marketplace opening which was quite literally a scheme to kill him.
honestly all of the videos i've seen of this server, i like how almost everyone of them is similar in that aspect of unreliable narrator more or less
im the good guy tehehe! (C!winsweep is such a unreliable narrator its awesome. i have enjoyed this character so much over the past year)
It’s not even limited to winsweep, rat’s video also noticeably lack the parts where Lux acts like a complete psychopath.
I'm not even sure there is any way of getting an idea of what's actually happening, the narrators are just that unreliable.
@@WinSweep what does the "c!" mean
Anyone else find it kinda wholesome that Talon was perfectly happy living on the first floor?
Bro didn’t want to leave and was happy with his leaves and poolfish.
I'd be happy too, free food free water free friends, no tax? 😂
@@DIRTkat_ofcthe IRS are going to find a way, I'm sure of it
@@max-abobea the irs can only legally operate on earth
@Glamrockfred001 They'll get a lawyer to legally define Neverend as a part of Earth.
FISH
Winsweep is showing his point of view of this dimension, which means we all get to see how scary it can be without the skip through of introduction. Amazing work by the Winsweep. Also, Lux has gotten stronger then I've ever seen Lux be before.
during the fight, you heard that genuine fun in lux's voice. It scares me
Lux is getting more like Rat, and I'm seriously scared
Keep in mind, Lux has been restraining from using the anchor this entire time, she’s not even using everything she can
@@MissInfinity0803 so is rat. Think about it, what's stopping him from creating rats capable of giving effects like wither or anything from the poison dart frogs? And fair reminder, he hasn't used them in ages either, or his multitude of explosives, including but not limited to, pipe bombs untraceable by the mail system, remote bombs, literally the Hindenburg, and if he decided to add one's he previously made, hammer based end crystal bombs, c4, dynamite that bounces, orbital cannons, and Jesus Christ the list keeps going. On the subject of previously made but unused, his rats could fly, he had his winter mod including the likes of flamethrowers and vehicular manslaughter, rat, if he so chooses to, could make the server a nuclear wasteland and nobody could stop him.
yeah lux is a problem. I should deal with that also. :>
It was only a small part of the video, but I absolutely *adore* Lux at 11:35 with the Wardens. The way she broke those out and was ready to throw down with them, and the maniacal fun she had with it, best part
Lux was being the reasonable one of the bunch all this time, the one who seeked peace all the time. I'm sure it felt satisfying to not worry about holding peace for once, considering she was ready to absolutely WALLOP like that. truly the "Wrath of a gentle person".
Lux is a she? Her voice sounds male tbh
@@hatsoyagumi3923that’s such a good way to put it! She deserves the chance to go crazy after everything she’s been put through
fr!!!! @@samus159
That line, "I'm finally having some fun!" Gave me genuine shivers.
I love how absolutely petty Rat is, you attack him once, he traps you for a month (Or sends a pipebomb in your mail if you get the reference)
so true
Breh it's funny to think all this happened because someone was too lazy to mine nethetite -_-
Ah the pipebomb incident
@@destroyer4929yet the Winsweep was excited to read before getting blown up 😅
"DID YOU JUST MAIL ME A PIPE BOMB?! I WAS EXCITED TO READ!😭"
Lux joined Rat and immediately went from semi-normal human being to vindictive, evil genius in about two seconds.
This is why rats gotta go he’s GOTTA GO
@@WinSweep So the villain would say of the competition.
and we love her for it
More like she went there first and THEN joined with Rat.
As I'm aware, the SMP is still seperate from real life. People should not take the behaviour of the player on the smp to compare how they really are or how they are to each other.
For example, Rat trapping the whole Server in an Airship to explode it was only to kill the Ghost Mouthpiece which seems to be an bigger issue than the feuds between the other players
amen me and rat are friends irl :D
@@WinSweep I just noticed that not many, but still some, think it to be too serious... It just ain't fun seeing that happen to an Project, which ends up causing Drama between the comminuties, I saw it to often
@@larsbohmer6319 yeah congent smp is literally the best smp community and friend wise. I thank you for being apart of it
@@WinSweepit’s very nice to see you guys are still friends even after the practical war you two have been in lol. If in any of the comments I’m an asshole to “you” it’s not against the player it’s against the story character because you’re a cool person and it somewhat seems that your server character was made to be the “underdog villain going insane” which is a lot of fun to hate.
*“Congent SMP”*
Rat: lies
This guy: HE CANT BE TRUSTED
the server: neither can you
SADGE
True
Gosh the dimension is so much scarier from this POV. Even just entering, to seeing Astron, Lux and Rat standing there in full gear menacingly, while Win has nothing despite seeing a whole inventory full of stuff right before entering, just feels like the embodiment of the fear of the unknown, and not being in control.
Also, Lux has a really good evil laugh, and is just really good at acting evil in general. Her character can be genuinely so scary if she wants to be.
Edit: Holy shit, I just finished the video, this SMP is so hype!!! Honestly really rooting for c!WinSweep now!
im slowly converting rat apologists. into winsweep apologists >:D
You deserve more subs @@WinSweep
@@WinSweep if they won’t obey you steal them…..
@@WinSweepYou and Rat both encouraged me to make a universe of Genshin where everyone was playing an SMP. Me and my gf are building the map. Sadly we can't mod like you guys though.
Why do you keep using :> :< emojis like someone from 5th grade@@WinSweep 🧐
Its pretty interesting to have seen both sides of the pool rooms, both sides paint the other as the bad guy and its nice to understand the others point of view
It makes you feel being the mastermind, since shows are meant to be shown to viewers! 😅
Imagine how many of the greatest films cartoons and any media was made just for entertainment?
And the worst part of this quest to find the end portal, is that even he knows that the only reason why he was looking for it, is to get allies against rat.
And rat just need to convince the server that he did nothing wrong by hiding the portal, and winsweep gets no allies.
In the end is a risky bet that gave him nightmares and 1 week in isolation
Plus Rat, while basically a chaotic neutral force in all this… he originally destroyed all but one to keep the server going.
Freebird was a scheme to kill the ghost
And the masquerade plot was stopped by rat.
No heros, just whoever is better in the moment
@@slywhemwick8071and a step further, rat may have created the ghost by the death of arathain but that was arathains own doing via their pact suicide/ultra death along with ooc just straight up adding an unfair advantage of way too much netherite behind the server owners back.
@harrogeorge7878 yeah rat wasn't entirely the bad guy in the bonesburrow fiasco
I love how WinSweep and Nox come to Luxintrus hoping for a non-dramatic kidnapping and then two seconds later Lux summons an entire army of Wardens
I hope the fear of being eaten by a giant fish didn't make you any less evil.
I'm pretty sure that Blake is now dead
Bros figure out they can make weed, LETS STAY HERE FOREVER!!!
Its likely shortended but id kill for the mostly uncut footage of trying to Survive Rat's dimension
dont worry you get more than enough of us suffering this video 37 mins long and half of that is pool rooms

@@Idkwhattodoyt"sadly" he posted the vid. so he probably did

@@yobigfoot I think it's about 1 week in the games or IRL 😅
Found out about the content smp like not even a week ago, easily the most enjoyable adventure I've watched in a long time. The different povs from person to person, the character growth, and the story are all top tier. Have not watched minecraft videos like this since the Yogscast did Shadow of Israphel and that was over a decade ago. Can't wait to see what happens next!
thank you sm this means so much to me holy :>
EXACTLY IM IN THE SAME BOAT im *invested* now oh god here we go down the rabbit hole /pos
You know you're a force to be reckoned with if people have to make an entire dimension just to temporarily trap you 💀
Thats so true
They killed him with zero totems while he had a bunch with nothing more that a pile of rats and pvp skills already modded in. And the rats only had poison, they could have been way worse, between all the poison dart frog poisons they could have had, wither, I mean come on, this? This was just a flex. Just to show what rat could do if he actually tried.
@@shadowsnake5133
r4t could make a weapon that could end the whole server, if he wanted too ofcourse
Winsweep is weak sauce bro💀
"Temporarily"
2 FLIPING MONTHS
Dude I love the fact that the end theming of R4t's tech wasn't even intentional, yet it was still somehow a good hint
Just found this and Rat's corresponding video. I feel like I've just stumbled across a series of insane wizard feuds.
HA one of the best comments so far
Can we all appreciate how long it took rat to code this.
he had help but YEAH it's crazy (the help was mostly for how the generation worked but he did the rooms)
For real…
0:57 I know at this point, everyone knows he didn't destroy it, but I don't see why that's suspicious.
If he did destroy the end portals, the structures themselves are big, sprawling rooms with potentially lots of great ore around, open caverns, and spawners. There's bound to be a reason to put your base down there regardless of the actual portal being there.
one moment i was watching lux and rat talking and the next there was a fishing bob in my face and i was getting yanked out of the cabin looney tunes style
we are literally looney toon villains and i love it
@@WinSweepyou and nox are looney tunes villains while rat and Lux are action comedy cartoon villains
I just wish that I could forget that I already watched Rats pov, so that I could know my genuine reaction when you first went throught the portal and when you saw that... thing, the ruler of the infinite depths, the leviathan who guards the exit of the eternal abyss.
I have multiple things to say about this video
First, this lore has gotten so good, and for that I applaud you WinSweep.
Second, for anyone who wants to know, the text that appears at 1:58 translates to "Hello Blake", and the text that starts appearing at 11:20 is literally just "Kill" over and over again.
Third, I love WinSweep's son c:
Brilliant video, excited to see the future lore of EL and Sweep
Also have you ever thought about how WinSweep sounds an awful lot like the present tense of windswept
AWUKDGHAWUJKDGAUJKD this is so sweet thank you so much

@@cratingomc thank u! :]
Can we take a moment to appreciate how long it took him to excape, that is if he does it in this video
Given the fact lux can just spawn like 4-8 wardens at any given time i would say she is easily the strongest player the server has
anyone else can also do that
Eight sided square has like 8 stacks of warden heads hes definitely the strongest
@@spongytrout7462 he isint able to reincarnate them tho
@@NINJAKCDXanyone can, it was a potion
@@NINJAKCDX*block? I don’t know it was something being put on something, I’d have to watch the video
"What is this, it's like a liminal pool. Pretty scary."
Foreshadowing
I watched Rat's video where he made this, and he was completely confused when he learned you made the link between the Eyes of Ender, he did not intend to make that connection, it was just a design choice.
Lux is so maniacal with Wardens. I love it.
Time to take a dip inside the rooms of pools that torment the soul of Winsweep.
here are the translations for all of el's galactic text that i found (though you should scroll back up and watch the video first, if you haven't :P)
1:59 - 'hello Blake.'
11:22 - 'kill' repeated. the galactic above the subtitles after this is just what blake says, so maybe el is in control there in some manner
18:19 - 'me and you both...'
and the ending is already transcribed in the video lol
It's so funny seeing this from Rat's perspective beforehand. Rat seems so much vicious on the other unreliable end. It's also fun knowing how Win was accidentally playing right into Rat's hand (or paw?). Very enjoyable content.
rats dont have paws
This was honestly one of the best Minecraft vids I have seen in a long time, all the others are just “how I became immortal” or “I created the deadliest team” but this was actually original and enjoyable.
The difference from Rat's pov and Winsweep's pov feels so different
I'm incredibly weak to such cool and elaborate plots! By the end of the video I was just screaming... No joke. I stumbled upon these videos by accident and now I look forward to each new one because what you do is incredible!
It's easy to tell when I like a storyline. If I start imagining offshoots from it, if I start coming up with side characters that aren't in canon, if I imagine how the plot could go... It means that what I'm watching is incredibly wonderful.
Guess what? I can't stop thinking about this Content SMP. And the best thing is... you don't know and can't decide which side you're on because everyone has some traits that grab your attention and the part of your heart. IT'S INCREDIBLE. My imagination is so fired up from watching these videos that I now don't know how to stop.
Thanks to everyone involved for what you do. And thank you also for the fact that I can practice English and have fun at the same time (English is not my native language). Just thank you so much!
i like the artistic expression in r4ts mods, for what that's worth.
for example, the implication that this aquatic/poolrooms dimension is a higher plane, and the leviathan gousier in the abyss guards the gate to the lower realm (overworld).
"I'm the good guy!" :D
*Casually holding someone's son hostage lmao*
Man this was fun to watch. Unreliable narrators on BOTH sides is one of my favorite tropes
The rivalry. The fight. The enmity. It started for a good cause. Revenge to a man who betrayed the ones who trusted him. But what did it become?
The purge… The purge against kindhearted people who forgave Rat after his evil deeds. The purge that killed the ones who trusted Rat and who, most importantly, trusted you. But that wasn’t the start. Punished by death, punished by the ones who you thought you was protecting, you tasted blood. Blood that can’t be forgotten. Your own blood. So you came back to take the most valuable thing a man can have. Alike mortals valuing own life above all, immortality is the most valuable thing an immortal respawning creature can have. And you took it. Even Rat was too soft for that. Even Rat put you into dimension with exit, not an abyss, not a void, not a death. You did exactly what a Rat did, you became what you swore to destroy, you became Rat yourself.
So, are you still chasing Rat for justice? Or is it your psychotic desires covered by justiciar’s mask? And who will rule the SMP after the fall of Rat? Blind justice-seeking boy or deadly and fearsome tyrant?
love this comment so much. good read :D
Shut up
melting at this comment this is really well written love this
oh my god.. Lux’s laugh sent CHILLS down my spine..
After seeing Rat's POV I was super excited to see this video come out, but god Win and Nox are such a goofy pair it got a few good laughs out of me! Definitely a stark contrast to how Rat's video painted them as intimidating antagonizers (which they still *are*, but now we've got extra shenanigans to see.) Also love the way the video's been edited, the crib skit at 20:47 had me rolling with laughter!
I would love to see the cycle being broken.
What are you gonna do then?
Delete?
Reset?
New server?
Cycle will never end.
It will just get bigger.
You have to admit one thing, 4t could have done something a lot more simple, so he went through a LOT of dedication and effort to do this.
So is no one going to talk about the cool ass symbolism of Winsweep having a half white half black mask, and his name actually being Blake?
The name Blake has a meaning, to quote the website, The Bump.
"Blake is a gender-neutral name of British origin meaning "black," "dark," or "pale." It is derived from the Old English word blæc, meaning "black" or "dark," or blac, which means both "white" or "pale," making its true intended meaning rather mysterious. These colors are often symbolic of night and day, allowing your bundle of joy to enjoy the best of both worlds. Whether baby's more connected to sunny days or starry nights, Blake offers you a world of inspiration to draw from."
I think this is cool.
1:58 text reads: hello blake
11:20 the word "kill" slowly appears over and over
18:19 text above the words "is feeling small" reads: you and me both
11:40 when Lux said "I'm finally having fun!" that sent shivers down my spine
I can't believe someone spent 3 months of their life to trap one player in minecraft 😂

*three players*
Poor Talon @@CipherSmoothies
Eh, mostly just to keep the guy with an auto ban on kill weapon busy because that kind of firepower is mildly strong. Also to remove the End from the options list for the SMP so they never reach the post Ender Dragon slog until they feel ready for it.
Lux when attacking you with wardens basically shouting at the microphone and then returning voice back to normal after you threaten to kill his fish sounded like some sort of cartoon character, who got into a more powerful version
Maybe my favourite part
1:39 foreshadowing at its finest
i love foreshadowing
Winsweep won a vacation by being such a nice war criminal! also lore drop at the end awesome
This smp is one of my favorites, the lore is good, and the players are even better.
genuinely felt like a movie
Lowkey super excited for this. It's been so long. WinSweep sweepin dem wins
I love how this SMP looks like a bunch of supervillains having fun without annoying "main heroes", trying outsceme eachother, using evey possible way, including (worst ever seen) kidnapping, chantage and even more funny ways to achieve their goals lmao
30:00 you can see the madness finally take hold of Windsweep
I think it is mouthpiece killing black and possessing his body
I cant tell whether hes laughing or crying
So cool to see the other side of the dimension conflict in full! When I watched rat's episode on it I was like "man. I can't wait to see what the process of exploring and escaping looks like for people who don't already know how it's done" and this did not disappoint!
God there's more sassy Rat moments.
I LOVE sassy Rat.
It’s gotta feel at least a little flattering that your rival created an entire dimension just because they felt threatened by you. Gotta give props where props are due.
The homoerotic tension
BRO I JUST DID A MARATHON OF ALL YOUR VIDEOS AND I ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOUR CHANNEL, THE LORE, THE IDEA OF A MODDED SMP (i love modded minecraft) THE GHOST OF THE DEAD PLAYER, THE MASK SLOWLY BECOMING MORE DESTROYED, IT ALL DESERVES A CHEF'S KISS,
NEVER STOP THE SERIES MAN
Next rat is gonna recreate Minecraft just to trap win for 3 hours
3 hours!!!!!! OH SHOOT
Lux attacking them with Wardens was so derranged, i love her so much
God i love the line
"No good vacation home is a good vacation home without the *wet ass dark basement* "
Rat has some good lines.
Watching this from both your and Rat's perspectives gives a great view of it
I find it ironic you went from creating the backrooms to getting trapped in the poolrooms 🤣 Love your content!
Dude crazy to think I made that video over a year ago 😭😭😭I’ve improved so much
I love the "im not scared of you" followed by a bunch of fucking wardens. Really gives the feeling of being way out of your depth.
I love how whilst this was completely right about the End portal continuing to exist, 90% of their investigation is just pure coincidences (Lux didn't know the secret when they kidnapped Astron for example, and Rat legitimately didn't have any greater reasoning behind using the eyes of ender for some of his mods). Very much being right for the wrong reasons.
(I also like how Rat actually did leave leave stuff for the Lore to figure this out in an IC way- namely the fake portal room being a recreation of when Astron convinced him not to destroy it, and the character representign rat holding a mushroom despite it being seemingly a tree that destroyed the portal.)
Winsweep was like "Let's trade sons!"
:D I liked talons son better idk
I love the contrast between windsweep and rat
Windsweep: I will have my revenge against you, YOU MONSTER
Rat: Lmao fish 🐟🐟🐟
Bro, the series from everyones POV is better than most professional TV shows these days. Keep up the awsome content!
Also, I love Winsweeps sons :P
Even though I am a HUGE doctor4t fan, I still enjoy your vids as well. Good luck on escaping :)))
thanks man
Rat's video of the set up for this was the first video I've watched about this SMP and it's members. You're such a creative bunch, it's been tons of fun to watch. Glad to get to see it from your perspective now 😊Lux using Wardens like smoke bombs to try and get away from you was hilarious.
Man, the story of this server’s so intense. I love how the server is used make this long lore to go with the mods created, the thrill is quite high because you’re all really good with your roles! I swear, yall make such a tense mood at the end I felt the air get cold with excitement!
The standard galactic said
"Hello Blake."
-
"Kill"
How did the same totem break twice and still remain?
Yoooo I’m really hyped for this Winsweep lately has been making sick videos!!!
Props to whoever edited the video, Celeste music was the right choice to match the vibe
It was me I edited my own vidoes can’t afford a editor lol
I love the drastic difference between 24:41 "we'll just crit them out" to 26:35 realizing its too big and impossible to crit out
Worth the wait than you winsweep. Your lore has intrigued me
Welp with secret life over, I think I'm about to get into a new SMP. This seems wicked and the lore seems VERY interesting
"You're going to love everything I've done to you" is one hell of an uncomfortable phrase.

Villain guy gets trapped in a pool by a rat in a maid costume
god I love bad guys this is awesome! I also like how rat kinda isn't even the good ether, he's just the chaotic master mind, lux is actually the only good person.
I also love how the bad guys even have like a bad guy supplier with evil lightening tech, its so good.
Great vid, awesome to see your perspective. The investigation has really bore fruit hasn't it? And the Rat doesn't seem to know the consequences of his actions, hah. And also I really love you son Winsweep, so cute and green and leafy. It looks delicious, that is all.
Winsweep thanks for the videos man. I love this smp!!!
this was genuinely crazy storytelling holy shit you COOKED
There are no good guys or bad guys in this SMP. Its just pure chaos and I LOVE IT!
Rat's videos usually come out months after the events have occurred on the server.
So the fact that this video came out out after Rat's should tell you all you need to know.
omg, mirror temple ost is **so perfect** for that world, that's amazing
Are there plans to make the mods made for the server public someday? I want to have a grill night and make deadly crystal beacon burger
amarite is pubic on modrinth :D
Obviously it was cut down for brevity and enjoyment, but I’m very curious how long it actually took to get through the no end dimension. I know from rat’s video WinSweep’s group took multiple sessions to get out, but I’m curious how time that was.
Also what a friend Rat is making an entire dimension just for WinSweep. Sure it was to trap and scare him, but that’s just details.
The best way I can describe the dimension that Rat had made to at least silence you and Nox for awhile, is that it of course happened to be his solution to delay the inevitable end of the server. Hate it or love it, it was either he broke the portal, therefore dooming the server to being unable to ever go to the end dimension, or create a solution to at least trap you guys for awhile. Which it obviously worked given you guys were in there for around a month or so.
Additionally I should state that from a perspective of how Rat sees it, or rather, his theory on how most SMPs... well... die out, is directly connected to the end. Hence why he destroyed two of the portals, and was going to destroy the third, but kept it after his encounter with the one person you guys had kidnapped.
Honestly it's impressive the solution he came up with to otherwise prevent the end from being visited for so long by anyone. Even himself. And now... with how he has made the portal function, it'll be impossible in technicality to ever actually visit the end. Though I doubt he would be against letting you guys revisit the Neverend dimension again if you wanted to go back there kind of thing for getting stuff from that place.
Regardless, I've been kinda watching Rat's videos on the smp, alongside a couple of Lux's videos, so I'm mostly aware of the general series of events. Such as him destroying the first and second portals, and keeping the third, also having made it so there are only three strongholds in the entire world, making it impossible to find another with an intact end portal.(which probably was already known to you guys of there being only three total in the world.) Him doing his best to rid the server of Mouthpiece(whom of which I have no idea who plays as said character. but whatever.) Eventually him having to deal with your party you made that you didn't invite him to. (which resulted in rat swarm that you didn't expect at the time.) And further going out of his way to deal with several other people who were also troublemakers too. Lux eventually doing the marketplace, though originally simply just to have a peaceful event, but wound up having the secondary purpose of dealing with you of course. And Lux having also become friends with Rat after Rat gave Lux, through an alternate universe Lux, her anchor that she now has. And then now current events of him having made Neverend to keep people away from the actual End dimension, whilst keeping the portal around still.
Anyways, if you do wind up reading my entire rant of a comment Winsweep. Good on you. And... also thanks I guess. Personally, I don't really care too much about the dark reasons you have within the server as your character to try and open up the end possibly to everyone, but... at the same time... I still find it interesting how devoted Rat is to keeping the SMP running as long as he reasonably can. Obviously people will *eventually* stop playing regardless of what he does. But he likely already knows that. but is at least doing his best to keep the SMP running for a good while.
Not going to let too much on in order to not spoil it, but rat did leave a measure in order to get to the end again, and you can catch it a couple of times in Rat's video
I've been waiting for this perspective for like 3 weeks lol. thank you
