By the way, the seed in the thumbnail only crashes the game on 1.4.2. So you need to go to that version and enter the seed -227356463. (Or type "IvanTheBlue" as the seed)

It makes you wonder how many players there are, who aren't familiar at all with the meta game, who have encountered super rare stuff like a full End Portal and taken it completely for granted because they had no clue it was impossibly rare.

There was a seed where all the end portals were destroyed by ocean monuments generating directy above them. This was during the times when only 3 strongholds were generated per seed

6:51 Slight correction: The bug was reported before the first 12 eye portal was found. People who looked at the code spotted the error and didn't bother to code a finder for it since it would only produce a dud portal. However after a bit, Mojang refused to confirm the bug (aka to fix it), and told them they would only fix it if it can be proved in-game, not just the code. Hence that seed.

Crazy to hear that snow golems can naturally spawn. Imagine you just load up a random world and encounter a snow golem at some point. That just seems like it should be some Herobrine-level stuff right there lol

2b2t's seed is known to have a LOT of anomalous stuff happening. It's also an OLD map too so who knows how long the Golem was there.

I'm not sure if this seed was ever on java, but! There was a seed probably around 6 or so years ago that was "HEROBRINEISAPUSSY" that would spawn you underground in a small cave with no way out aside from to dig. I was a kid trying to summon herobrine, and was absolutely shocked and horrified that it actually spawned me underground. It was just a tiny little hole of a cave, I didn't know it was even possible to spawn underground, nevermind one that didn't have a clear way to the exit.

I found an incredibly weird chunk as a kid, when I played 1.7.2. It was just grass and bedrock, surrounded by normal chunks

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.

“The chances of you being born are even rarer still”. Thanks for putting life into perspective, I needed a wake up call.

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.

Real murder documentary YTbers: 😃 Minecraft mystery YTers: 💀

a naturally spawning snow golem is basically the boltzmann brain of minecraft

4:34 "it's so adorable" Rovant hitting the snow golem 😂

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 love how you know all of these but don't know how to use a campfire

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.

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

I remember finding some naturally spawning snow golems on Console Edition once. Not exactly sure what the seed was, unfortunately.

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.

my favourite minecraft rare event was that stupidly tall cactus they found after a long hunt

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.

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

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.

am i the only one that didn't find a village that was weirdly generated in years? like some cave entrance and a villager house being at the same place

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.

The most interesting thing that I've ever gotten to see was 2 ocean monuments within 100 ish blocks of each other.

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.

I really like the presentation in this video. Cozy, low-key fireside storytelling about Minecraft obscurities with a relaxed and listenable voice.

a couple years ago, my friend & I found an end portal room that was missing a silverfish spawner! Not sure how rare that is but it’s still one of my favorite Minecraft moments

i really like to explore random seeds in minecraft. But i play on minecraft switch edition (legacy) so i think i’m the only one to even do this. I found some really intresting seeds: 2 of theese have 2 mansions colliding with each other

Seems like you won KZfaq's algorithm lottery my man

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.

a long time ago when I was a kid I spawned into my world and found a bunch of items on the ground, like a stone pickaxe, sword, like player's items. I left the world immediately terrified and thought it was herobrine--

A bunch of year ago I played one in I think 1.7.10 (not certain) where I Spawned in an ice Spike biome with a mooShroom iSland nearby.

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.

Imagine putting some random seed and it's the one that doesn't load, I'd be so confused The weirdest thing I found on my own seed on 1.13-1.16 was big patch of snowy dirt without snow on it. And no, endermen didn't do it since I had it disabled

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

There's also an anomaly in some seeds that some types of structures are generated in an endless loop every single chunk.

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

this is actually a really good and interesting video, it deserves more visibility! keep this up!

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

2 years ago i had a minecraft world with a weird shadow with no cause. 2 years later i found that i should optimize the world to fix it

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

" Get Out of her, Steve (Stalker). "

I love how you take the most dramatic voice to talk about these seeds

You should definitely do a sequel including things like the pink sheep plains and repeating seeds

I am LOVING this series, YAY!

Just so you know, that content quality is amazing for someone with not even 5k subs. Btw I would love it if you could make videos about some speedruns and MCSR in general

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

I remember playing minecraft back in the day and finding snow golems naturally spawned. I was young so I'd always run away from them bc I thought they'd attack me 😆 (maybe they did, I can't quite remember). I wish I still had the seeds but unfortunately i forgot the user name and password to the old account so they're lost to time sadly 😞

3:07 just right click the campfire to cook the fish,the level of pain is like the dvd logo almost hit the corner

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.

4:27 "it's so adorable" *hits it*

Great video! Would definitely like to see a part 2.

Wow I love this style of video. I would love a part 2

I remember when i just saw a random carved pumpkin in the sky

You don't even need Carved pumpkin for Bedrock version as bedrock version can create iron/snow Golem with Normal pumpkins.

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

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.

the end was so wholesome, made my day better, thanks

amazing video, I loved the concept and editing! I hope I can watch a part 2 of it pretty soon

I found a weird glitch on the Xbox 360 edition that made everything green-shifted, it happened after checking seed 128. Idk if this counts at all :P

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

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 !

When i was in middle school i saw one naturally generated snow golem, the next day i told my friends about it and they said that it was impossible. Only years later i learnt that it was such a rare occurrence but by the time i have already lost the save and the seed

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.

"It's so adorable" *drop kicks snow golem*

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

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.

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.

once had a village house just spawn over water and the villager couldnt get out

Nice video, would def watch a part 2

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.

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.

Nice work i would love to see another vid like that

just earned a new sub, love the content!

I remember the natural snow golem spawning thing happening a few times over my nearly 12 years with the game easy 10-20 times

... you need to place the pumpkin last to summon the golem lmao

6:00 the End Portal: I don’t know, I never thought I’d get this far

I wonder if two people have ever gotten the same exact seed randomly

Underrated Minecraft KZfaqr! Keep up the good work. :D

I liked and subbed because of the campfire stories at night idea Fresh and original 🏆

i never took the seed but i played a world that had a ravine was way to big to just be one or two of them ( i think more then one over lapped slightly as it was like 5 or 6 wide ) also played one were there was a huge natural river (note these are from unmodded as i test seeds in unmodded before loading them modded to see what changes)

i am loving this already thank you~

i remember playing on a seed that had superflat world combined with normal world

0:05 or the farlands damn i will never forgot it and also the fact it's still on Bedrock too... even on the latest version

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

I've definitely bumped into snow golems and not even once but that was back in the day.

the rarest mob that can actually spawn, so adorable *hits it* lmao

I really like the "story by the campfire" vibe you do in this video

for some reason I have a memory of finding a snow golem that naturally spawned but im probably imagining things

In minecraft superflat version 1.3.2, i found a bugged seed where there would be monoliths that spawn with stone and ore. They would also go all the way to height limit and sometimes also have villages inside them, i think some of them had strongholds, but i can't remember since this was many, many years ago

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.

Great content man, you just earned a sub
