Millions of
Minecraft videos can be found across YouTube. Some by large creators, others by small, and a few that get next to no views at all. In the end, it may have been better if some of them stayed that way. Even now, we would recommend turning away. Today, we share our top five scary Minecraft videos, each exploring something that was better left a mystery.
Top 5 Scary Minecraft Videos: Verity, ARGs, & More
5: I Got Hired to Watch Over a Server That Doesn’t Exist…
You receive an email saying you were approved to watch over
a server while its owners are away, yet you never applied for any such position. Odder yet, it’s the night shift, implying there are others doing the same. Out of curiosity, you join to find a server with time set to match the real world, making your shift eternally night. Strict instructions say not to change anything. So, why is it already damaged? Why are textures bugged? Why did they pick you?
Zachobuilds explores the mysterious uploads of CacheingChex in “I got hired to watch over a server that doesn’t exist…” as these questions get answered. Unfortunately, they realize all too late it would have been better if they never opened the email at all.
4: My Creation Is Trying to Delete Me
In “My creation is trying to delete me...” by RetroGamingNow, they explore what, at first, seems like a channel uploading let’s plays of an older Minecraft version. However, very quickly it is clear something is off. Something uncanny about the uploader Wpeoif and even the way they edit the video. Like they are doing their best to imitate a person, channel, and let’s play.
Despite this, RetroGamingNow attempts to piece together unexplainable, frightening goals and make sense of one’s own creation forcefully taking control.
3: The Disturbing Minecraft Server You’ve Never Seen
Sometimes the scariest things lie not in the paranormal but in the very real capabilities of people. An example of this is a user reporting a server IP on the
Minecraft forums, then never logging in again shortly after. In the replies, few took it seriously, but some claiming to know of the server are quick to warn never, ever to get involved.
DryFruits goes against this advice, joins the server, and finds themselves in a rabbit hole so deep they can’t escape. Especially when the people involved won’t let them.
2: Verity
A friend sends a custom mod over Discord. What harm could there be in giving it a try? When this very thing happened to ThatMob, they installed it for the next let’s play. It seemed at first they had received an AI assistant named
Verity that could answer any question. Where diamonds are. Where the nearest village was. What ThatMob had for dinner that night. Verity knew everything! Unfortunately, that eventually included where ThatMob was desperately hiding. Through great efforts, ThatMob does his best to survive and discover the secrets of the mod he installed.
1: Searching For A World That Doesn’t Exist
A player named Avery finds
a Minecraft world left behind on a laptop from a storage locker. Inside is a simple world with seemingly not much to it until they find a player-written book with an ominous warning: “At the crossroads, don’t turn left.” Someone is watching them, yet no one is online. Something is in the wall. Footsteps are behind.
Wifies documents the journey seen through the videos on Avery’s channel, making sense of the puzzles, noting the signs of activity in the background, and eventually witnesses their choice. All they need to do is not turn left.
