There are the ruins of the old lobby of legacy console under the new one; this is not a server this was made by mojang/4j

I think you're talking about the Aquatic Tutorial ruins, right? That's on the list!
14
no, legacy console's online modes. they were battle, tumble, and glide.
11
Ohh, I completely forgot about those modes! Didn't realize they had ruins too.

Error422.exe
Explanation: Obscure minecraft "haunted" version. Weird entity is inside of the game causing the hearts and hunger to glitch. Around 1 hour, the entity appears and crashes the game. This is a real mod (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU_oa8-JWIg).

I never understood that deal Notch had with GMTK. GMTK never talks about politics anyway and the most he said was that he doesn’t want election campaign ads on his videos.
Also if you ever do a version 3 I think you should add the “Hatsune Miku made Minecraft” meme.
Aside from that though well done king 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
8
Aw heck, I forgot about that meme. I bet I could lump that into Notch's Twitter or Every Bee Is Trans, though. Also, I didn't understand the deal either. I just know GMTK for his game videos, I don't remember anything about politics.
Also, thanks! Haha

Haunt Muskie is an anagram of Hatsune Miku

You know who else is an anagram of Hatsune Miku?

Honorable mentions ideas:
- All Bedrock worlds are one world - apparently the seed determines how much the noise is offset, so theoretically any Bedrock world is part of one huge interconnected world
- Sugar cane grows faster on sand
- Dolphin and panda sounds come from real animals - related to "Ghast sound origins"; Mojang's sound designer had to travel to parks with dolphins and pandas in them to collect
- Modified Jungle Edge - a biome that's so rare, that the /locatebiome command sometimes fails to successfully locate one
- Shrub - old version of the dead bush.
- The camera is at the player's feet - in older versions of the game, the camera is placed on the player's feet, with the world being rendered 1.8 blocks lower so everything is properly displayed
- Splash text that's never displayed (This message will never appear on the splash screen, isn't that weird?)
- Steveposting - posting images of a grotesque Steve model in 4chan, with text content related to Steve joining Smash Bros.
- Deleting META-INF - modding used to be done by deleting META-INF first
- The 2020 mob vote was rigged - people thought Dream rigged the vote by telling his fans to vote for the glow squid.
- Old acacia and dark oak - the old versions of these trees borrowed their wood from jungle and spruce, respectively
- South-east rule - an unintentional mechanic where effects occur on cardinal directions, usually towards the south-east.
- Removed Herobrine - a running gag in patch notes
- THX XAPHOBIA - easter egg from the old zombie pigman texture
- Singleplayer mode is the same as multiplayer - due to singleplayer and multiplayer have different sets of bugs, Mojang decided to make the game host a server in your computer even in singleplayer mode.
- 10th anniversary world Herobrine easter egg - there is apparently a book in the 10th anniversary world, whose author is Herobrine
- Grassless dirt - before coarse dirt was added, there was a type of dirt that could never grow grass
- Flower forest pattern - in a flower forest biome, the flowers are generated based on a heatmap pattern. This pattern can be seen by setting a superflat world to the flower forest biome and bonemealing a large area.
- Aether - one of the most popular Minecraft mods ever. The mod was so popular, that some players genuinely believed a glowstone portal exists in vanilla Minecraft.
- Cave chicken - the chicken jockey can spawn in caves. The chicken may end up suffocating the zombie riding it, rendering the chicken lonely. Cave chickens never despawned until a recent update inverted this feature.
- Multiplayer takes place before singleplayer - a theory that states SP and MP are different points in the Minecraft timeline. Multiplayer is when the "players" prospered in the world. An unknown event somehow wiped out most of the players, leaving only you, in your own singleplayer world.
- Ice highways - boats, when used on ice, oddly move at very fast speeds. Players often use this mechanic to create boat racing tracks and hi-speed tunnels in the Nether.

Sorry it took a while, but I added a few of your honorable mentions to the list! Can't believe I forgot about the flower forest gradient.

modding used to be done by deleting META-INF first
This is not a minecraft thing, its just java:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jar/jar.html#The_META-INF_directory
the reason u have to delete meta-inf in order to mod minecraft is becuase of code signing, Minecraft.jar which is a security feature, the jar is signed by Mojang and whenever u run any java file it checks that signature against whats in the file and if it matches then the jar is allowed to run but java doesn't do this check if meta-inf is not found, (it'll throw a security warning if its embedded in a website as a java applet, but no one does that anymore anyway ...)
so really its not much of a mystery at all.
1
In the context of Minecraft, it's just as much as of a mystery as the layer 2 entries on the iceberg

This is extremely well done, good job!

Thanks!

nether portal in tutorial logo
iT WASNT ONlY MEEEE

And now we need a video going over THIS version.
4
Explanation doc is kinda enough imo
4
Droopy looks in a cave
No one is there
Droopy looks under a tree
Droopy is enormous
4
what images are used in layers 6 and 7?
ive seen the image used for 7 a couple times, but i still don't know what it means.
3
Layer 6 is an image from the OldRoot ARG.
Layer 7 is the decoded spectrogram image from air.ogg, a streaming project by boq for the Infinity Update.

I am Sempthawase (From the Google Doc).

Heya! I heard you had some things to share for the google doc.
2
Ok, I got all the Honourable Mentions that I know, if you have any time to put them in, then please do.
Deadmau5 Ears - There was a skin for Deadmau5's account on Minecraft, the skin was made by the workers at Minecraft and added very unique features (Eg: The Ears popping of the avatar). This isn't very hard to find, yet it was a few years back.
gargamel - A seed where MASSIVE valleys and mountains, it was very unique due to the time of when this got popular (around 2010 - 2013) and for the time, it was very breath-taking and.
Temple of Notch - A map created by some people and was used in videos / images and is kinda popular in the Downloaded Maps community of Minecraft
Suicidal Pandas - When pandas roll, they can sometimes fall off an edge and die, this could be claimed as suicide, but this is a virtual game so who knows.
TF2 Notch Hat - A hat for Notch (the creator of Minecraft) for TF2, it is named "Top Notch" and was made in 2011.
That's all I got right now, just to fill in the gaps.

Oh wow, thanks!

Where is Mob Talker.
3
I regret googling that
3
Yeah Welcome to degenerate layer i guess
I show your chart to my friend and he send me to ask so sorry for that
3
I think the whole explanations thing is evolving rather nicely ^_^
3
Yeah! I'm glad it worked out.
3
Wow. Just want to say that this iceberg is absolutely amazing and perfected at its best! I can't believe you took the time to write all the info to each and every interesting anomaly. Really gives a nostalgic vibe!
3
I’m beginning to think “Wake up” and Steve being in a coma are connected.
3
Yep, and the End credits poem.

Whats the MogMag Mindcrack Incident???
3
TheMogMiner, AKA Ryan Holtz, was a game developer at Mojang working on the rendering engine for Minecraft. On 18 December 2013, TheMogMiner joined an unaffiliated Mindcrack server assuming it was the official one, then promptly released his anger both in the server and on Twitter when he didn’t receive his proper donator ranks, since he donated $500 to Guude prior to joining. Chat logs seem to show him swearing at mods and using his Mojang status to demand for server ranks. Sometime around January 29, 2015, TheMogMiner was no longer an employee at Mojang.

Notch's Twitter
omg haha

What's the significance of that netherrack structure in the second image? I've been it multiple times on these icebergs
2
It's a nether spire, a structure in pocket edition where all the nether stuff went, back before there were actual dimensions you could go to.

I've heard of dupe accounts, but those usually only make 2-6 accounts like that. It's still absurd how 72 accounts with the same name were created.

Like smidge, a dupe account owned by the same person, he gave it to dream, who then did a giveaway

Here's the link to the explanation doc; I assume that's what you're here for. 174 entries, and 25 pages in all.
(White text indicates stuff that was/is in the game, or was planned to be added. Red text indicates mysteries, theories, creepypastas, or just stuff to think about.)
Wow. It's been 2 and a half months since I posted my first Minecraft Iceberg. Time sure does fly, doesn't it?
Anyway, this was long overdue. I've been wanting to make this for a long time, but other projects got in the way. I've been passively researching more and more things, however, and somehow I managed to practically double the size of the iceberg! The original had 80 entries; this has 174. Plus, there's 20+ honorable mentions in the doc itself! Anything I still missed will simply go into that section, because I really doubt I'll find enough to warrant another update.
Anyway, have fun!
Huge thanks to Mayor_N, Burrlo, stupid skits king, and BirbCasper for making videos on my iceberg. I really appreciate the work put into all of them.
Special thanks to u/MattSnows7, u/MC_Iceberg, and u/PineapplePenguin175 for making their own Minecraft Icebergs, as well as whoever made that other iceberg that got featured on RetroGamingNow.
It's been great, guys.
Color-coding the text is one of the best things I have ever seen an iceberg chart have. Take notes, people.
I like how every thing on this list has a thought out explanation...
And then there's just Who Fucked the Ender Dragon?
This is a great iceberg though, just thought that was funny
It's one of the big mysteries of Minecraft
Very true
wow :)
Just finished reading all entries, great work!!
thanks!
Is Stunned Endermen just that glitch where their mouths are open even though they aren't angry? I don't think I saw it explained in there.
Oh shoot, I think I added it at the last minute but forgot to make an entry about it. Basically, if you keep staring at an Enderman even after they become angry, they lose the ability to move or teleport.
Ohhhh, I didnt know about that! I was always scrambling to find the nearest source of water when that happens lmao.
Very good iceberg btw, and here's a couple things you could add to the honorable mentions:
PopBob (I forget the whole story, but basically he's a minecraft player who's rumored to be a developer with how much he knows about the workings of the game)
Beta Minecraft was a horror game (half joke, half real. Old minecraft, at least to me, seemed a lot scarier than it is now. Things like Herobrine at its peak, worlds being very empty, night being very dark, monsters being more of threat, light sources being not as effective, etc. Caves really felt like you were diving down into an abyss, risking it all for some iron or diamonds.)
I was tempted to add "PopBob is a developer" as a nod to the other iceberg, but in the end I didn't. It'd be great as an honorable mention, though!
Also, yeah, old versions of Minecraft definitely had a way more unsettling atmosphere to them.
Oh, I discovered cats in bedrock edition lay eggs, see, cats sit on furnaces, and if I place a minecraft with furnace inside it in legacy console (ps4) then convert world to bedrock, the furnace will be replaced with a CAT
Dragon don’t drop a egg, It is on top of exit portal.
Yeah, but the egg is created after you slay them. If the dragon doesn't drop the dragon egg, who does?
maybe she shits it out when you kill her?
this is great lol
This is really cool! Nice job explaining everything too, you did a very nice job. I also like the distinguishment between theories with no basis to them, and theories that do have at least some truth to them.
I'm assuming you left out any theories that you couldn't find anything on? (such as the famous, post-credits scene, and a few of the other outlandish points from some other lists.)
Yeah, I only tried to add theories that had at least some basis, such as the Woodland Mansion Cult, or tried to explain a part of Minecraft's lore. I tried not to add theories based on things that were never in Minecraft to begin with, and the post-credits scene is one such example. Herobrine is an exception, though, due to his immense popularity.
