    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.

      Makes sense why movement would work in MP, as servers were better at handling large quantities of entities than singleplayer.

      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'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

    @misspotato813 11 місяців тому +445

    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.

    • @yogfan1139
      @yogfan1139 11 місяців тому +42

      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.

      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 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.

    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.

    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.

    Interestingly enough, I've had nearly this exact situation happen to me in Beta 1.7.3. I noticed that my FPS would start decreasing when looking at a certain area and when I walked outside my living quarter's walls I found to be at least 50+ pigs just swimming in the water. They weren't in the same XYZ or anything, just sprawled out acting like normal pigs. I think older versions of Minecraft just had a very strange bug where suddenly a influx of mobs can just spawn at a very large rate like that.
    This world also had plenty of error chunks, mob glitching, so on and so on.

    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.

Tried to launch that on a very old rig from circa 2011 (GTA 450 and a random Phenom II CPU) and pretty much gave me a BSOD right when the world was gonna finish loading. Probably because the huge amount of mobs. Nowadays pretty much any modern PC can run Minecraft very well because of current optimizations but old rigs with old versions were pure hell sometimes.

    He's likely changing his name / account because the "glitch" has already occurred and attempting to connect to the server fails / crashes the game. Changing to a different account would set you back to spawn instead of the location which loads the offending chunks thus hopefully avoiding the crash.
    My interpretation is that the owner was probably using mcedit commands. the commands were written like "//wand" - always using // as a prefix.. it's possible the server owner accidentally forgot the second "/" on one of the commands resulting in a single "/wand" to get passed to the log (revealing mcedit is in use for some reason) mcedit allows you to edit complex things like replacing all stone with sponge within a selected area, or spawning 4000 mobs.
    As an old custom plugin, mcedit may not have been integrated with the games log system. If that was the case it sounds like the "Zombie apocalypse", as well as the 200 creepers and all the cows were all likely just spawned in using mcedit commands. The server owner bit off more than he could chew with the massive spawning of cows and crashed his server for good after attempting to resolve it on several accounts, with his final attempt being replacing all cows with feather entities.
    The name of the world probably changed after attempting to fix the world with an external program.

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.

    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.

    I wonder if that Quartz pillar was just a large stack of feathers that spawned in the sky, and due to the low frame rate it piled up into what appeared to be a structure of some sort, when in all reality it was just a memory issue.
    Granted that’s kind of the only thing I can think of, and it would explain the large amount of randomly scattered feathers, we’re just seeing it after they all landed and the world loaded properly.
    Either way things like this are interesting, because it exposes the smaller parts of games that when mashed together in ways unintended, can cause what would otherwise be seen as a creepypasta like situation. Something like game corruptions, that gives us situations like this fairly often, the RTC was made specifically to find the cool stuff after all.

    When I joined his Minecraft world I was amazed that he built a Viking style community but I was experiencing terrible frame drop and it could be from the banners except it wasn't.
    He was giving me a tour of his world and that's when I saw the amount of animals which he kept breeding causing the massive frame drop.
    He had a big fence with a ton of cows that were putting a strain on my Xbox and every time I killed a cow, I swear another one would spawn.
    It's like he reached the maximum amount of animals to breed to cause another cow to spawn after I killed one and he did the same thing with different colored sheep which was ridiculous since he made everything in survival.

    I remember one of our own old servers. Back in the Tekkit days when it was big as a modpack (one of the first bigger ones afterall). At one point at sheer and utter random, we noticed how slowly but surely, blocks like random fricking blocks, started to vanish. And not as in "was mined by a player" but literally infront of our eyes with nothing else happening. It felt like the world was corrupted and breaking all around us. I was sitting in my base, going hard with Redstone and whatever that redstone specific mod was called that let you make proper gate ways (I think Project Red but I am not sure) and thats when I first noticed it.
    A basalt brick was randomly gone when just moments before it was still there. At first I didnt think much of it cause it felt odd but maybe it was always gone. Wouldnt put it past me to not fill something in proper. But then over the next few weeks I noticed it more and more and when I asked the others that I played with they slowly started to realize it was happening to them as well. We wanted to move our stuff to a side server we created and it just happened more and more and more as time passed by, we needed to move all our things quickly or else it felt like the world was literally devouring everything. It actually felt like the world was ending. Super creepy.

    I literally remember watching this original creepy pasta when he first uploaded his video about it

    An update about this that I'm not sure if it has been found or not but.. I just went into the save called "World" in b1.3b where I quickly got stuck, then I went into it on b1.4, b1.5, then release 1.0 and was able to move just fine but then.. I went into it on 1.2.5, trying to see when I'd be able to get chat and cheats but when I did, loads and loads of sheep spawned out of nowhere then I left the world and rejoined, doing so has made the sheep spawn in even more, with some just falling from the sky, then I put in a new copy of "World" and went into on 1.2.5 first, it seemed fine at first but then after a couple rejoins, it happened again but with the cows this time like what happened here

    At 5:11 in the video, me, my sister and my cousin had built an exactly the same looking home in the exact looking spot where the house in the video was, probably not same coordinates but the surroundings, the sign above the oak door, the glass around the oak door and the two torches, are the same...

    That reminds me of a bug I had on a server.
    There appeared to be two worlds at the same Time with always the one World beeing transparent in some places, while the other one was some kind of a ghost world, with a texture but different Blocks. I could walk around but as soon as I wanted to make a Screenshot my game crashed, and so, as I found out later, the server too. In addition to that, there was no Screenshot in the files. So I made a Photo with my camera and asked someone to teleport to me and say wether they see the Bug too. They did shortly before the server crashed again. That was the scarriest Bug I've ever encountered, a bug that refuses to be documented.
    I have absolute no Idea what the cause of this could be. At first I thought it was a Bug that lead to my PC generating a world where the server should genaerate it, and that there is a difference between these two worlds. But the fact, that someone else saw that too, means, that there was most likely an Issue with the server. But then why does my game crash and why can't I take a Screenshot of it. All in all a verry mysterious Incident.

    No wonder the quartz grave is not found anywhere, quartz blocks did not exist in these beta versions. It was added much later in release version 1.5, the Redstone Update. :)

    "The cows are everywhere. There are so many of them hundreds and hundreds, a sea of cows a bovine tsunami. These cows suffocate the Minecraft client bringing it to its knees, frame rates drop to sub integer levels. Cows and cows and cows and cows, how many cows I'm not sure but I do know that it's too many, an unnatural amount. Something is very very wrong with this Minecraft world."
    so poetic.
