Introduction

Hello everyone Kaban ivan is with you as always, and today I will tell you about a new mystical version that I found on the Internet (on Dudnak's server in Discord) D1tR0ck and shared information with me. Well, let's start the investigation. (The article is based on the guesses and observations of me and D1tR0ck) All screenshots are at the end of the article, in the gallery.

Background

It was like this. D1tR0ck was added by Blin4ik01 to the conversation in Discord, where the new mystical version was discussed. A certain IzumiKonata offered Blin4ik01 to try out a new mystical version of minecraft, claiming that it was not a virus. It was then that D1tR0ck, having received the link, began studying this mystical version, recording reportage videos straight from where he was playing it and looking for mysticism.

Error437. At first sight.

During the first launch of this version, we see a distorted Mojang logo, which is surrounded by a shadow, and then the main menu appears in front of us. Epileptics do not look! It is very badly distorted, a file with all the textures of the blocks is used as a panorama, directly from the game itself, as well as buttons stuffed into the panorama randomly and painted in different colors. In the background - bedrock. At the bottom, on the right, you can see the name of the version, which changes from 1.3.1 to 1.3.10 (the rarest manifestation) with each restart of the game. The buttons "Single player", "Network game", "Textures" and others shake when hovering. When you try to change the language of the game (by clicking on the languages button in the main menu), the animation of the Minecraft inscription restarts, as well as the colors of the buttons change. However, you can still change the language by going to settings and clicking the Language button from there. There is support for the Russian language. In the settings menu, the sliders move randomly in all directions. When you switch complexity to a complex one, you thereby sign your death sentence, since it can no longer be switched back. The Network Game menu works, you can even add a server. The texture menu also works, although it was not possible to install your pack.

Creating the World

By going to the "Single Player" menu, you can create an infinite number of worlds. However, we are most interested in the world creation settings themselves. We are given the opportunity to choose the game mode (Survival, Creative and Hardcore). There is a possibility of additional settings of the world. All items are available there, including the bonus chest, the type of world, the use of cheats and the generation of buildings. However, no matter what settings you set, in any case, a world will be created with a survival mode, without cheats, a bonus chest and with normal generation. You can also create a world in Hardcore mode, but you don't really need it, as it will bring more problems.

The beginning of the adventure

You appear in the world in survival mode. The first thing that catches your eye is heaps of floating flowers and grass in the air, as well as the twitchiness of all textures and blocks. After a little walk around the world, you will come across a forest, but the trees will not have foliage from the word at ALL. Also, there will not be a single mob in the area, even at night you are unlikely to meet any of the hostile monsters. If you carefully study the player's interface, as well as his model, you will notice that you do not have a head (although occasionally it still appears) and that the hunger strip, as in Error 422, is not visible. Also, you won't see the armor protection level. The urgent advice is not to move too far from spawn.

The first night

As soon as it starts to get dark, there is no need to worry, since there will be, in simple terms, NO ONE in the district. You will really be completely alone, so the need to dig in or build a house is not particularly necessary. However, there is a chance, although very small, that somewhere in the districts there will be 1-2 zombies without a head or a skeleton that does not pay much attention to you. However, if they head towards you, then you'd better climb higher due to the fact that when you receive any damage, the camera will turn upside down and back. So it will be difficult for you to focus when attacking a hostile mob, especially if it hits you. The skeleton is very dangerous, because when taking damage from his arrows from afar, moreover, taking into account the behavior of the camera when taking damage, you simply become disoriented and you will be easily killed. But the chance of mobs appearing, especially on the first night, is extremely small, so you shouldn't worry. The only THING is that in this version, the lighting mechanics are taken from the old alpha versions, so it will be so dark at night that it will be at least an eye out.

Morning and second day.

That's the morning. You continue your journey around the world. In the process of movement, you also do not find a soul.

Tasks for this day

On this day, you face several main tasks, namely:

1. Get some iron

2. Make a bucket of water

3. To build a kind of house next to the spawn, it is also desirable to get a bed.

4. Make a stack of torches (preferably more)

5. Make a farm

Get some iron

Iron is extremely necessary for you, even in small quantities. You need at least three ingots per bucket and three ingots per pickaxe, although at first you can do only with a bucket.

Make a bucket of water

A bucket of water is extremely necessary, since the game can set you on fire absolutely at any moment (I have died so many times). It is advisable to cram it into the first ten inventory slots in order to extinguish yourself in an emergency. While you don't have armor, stay in the water as long as possible, especially in the process of laying things out in chests, crafting items, mining large deposits of minerals, melting resources and other routine tasks. An important point.

Build some kind of house next to spawn.

Yes, it is also necessary. Due to the fact that you are unlikely to meet any of the mobs in the vicinity, the chance that you will starve to death will be very high. So build some kind of box with a chest and light it with torches.

Make a stack of torches (preferably more)

Given the prehistoric mechanics of lighting, I strongly recommend that you cut down all the trees in the area and make as many torches as possible (charcoal is in the game itself). Illuminate the entire spawn area within a radius of 20-30 blocks. Leave a few stacks of torches for a rainy day.

Make a farm

Also the basis of the basics. Given that there is a lot of grass in the air and on the ground, you can make yourself a giant wheat farm. An important point.

Day Three

You're still holding on, well done! Surely you have already realized for sure that hostile mobs are not a hindrance to you. You also noticed that when you press the F3 key, you have all the values there with the postscript Ox and the value You now have a house, a farm with wheat, a lighted area and a bucket of water. Now you can safely go to the mine, taking a couple of bread with you. You will probably get a lot of iron and will already be able to provide yourself with at least some armor. However, not everything is as good as you think. Expect trouble.

Day Four

Now you will definitely feel the charm of this version of minecraft. It is from this day that structures made of mossy cobblestones with red torches, obsidian crosses, tablets with various inscriptions, a burning infernal stone will begin to appear, there will be glitches like objects moving quickly and randomly in inventory or the inscription "You shouldn't be here" (Eng. You shouldn't be here), blocking player control for a while, as well as covering the entire screen with red stripes. So this is going to be a nervous day for you.

Day seven (fifth)

You have already got used to glitches and control blocking, you already have several explored mines, small food supplies and already full-fledged iron armor. However, now Minecraft is reaching a more terrifying level. Now you can suddenly start moving the game window itself, intercepting control, crashes from scratch and strengthening previous effects.

Day nine (fifteenth)

You are already well entrenched and you are no longer intimidated by the departures of the game and you are calm about the window twitching. However, the game is now reaching a new level again. Now the game can come, if you have not left the game for more than two hours, to the so-called "Pre-final stage". This stage looks like this. At some point, colorful ERROR437 inscriptions begin to flash before your eyes, and the twitchiness of textures will also increase. After a while, the FPS of the game will drop to very low values, and all textures will be replaced with multicolored ones (like the skin of the creature from Error 422) and the detail will drop to a low value. Fonts (if you use Russian or a thin font in other languages) will become pixel spots, so it will be impossible to make out anything. Your camera will be pulled with all its might in all directions. There may be inscriptions outside the window of the game itself, since this version of minecraft, in the truest sense of the word, breaks the fourth wall. Be careful.

The twentieth day

Now you are definitely finished. At this point, if you do not leave the game for 2-3 hours and survive the pre-final stage, then you will see the departure of the game, only this time, in the text field where the reason for departure was usually indicated, various hieroglyphs will be written in red on a black background, the game will twitch, the inscription minecraft will change to its counterpart, only with a red effect and stretching and the window will not be closed, only through the task manager.

The virus is in the version itself

The unpleasant part

And now let's move on to the less pleasant part of the game itself, or rather, to the virus, whose behavior has not yet been fully studied.

What is the meaning of the virus (Assumptions and history from D1tR0ck)

As a certain IzumiKonata said in the Discord, where there was a discussion of the new version of mystical minecraft, that there are no viruses in this version. However, when Blin4ik01 downloaded the version, his antivirus suspected something was wrong. But no matter what, the virus did not make any manifestations. According to the latest data, there was a virus causing the death screen. After a while, D1tR0ck was added to someone else's conversation, where they talked with another Chinese who started a discussion about the newly-made error437. However, despite the long interrogation of this Chinese by Blin4ik01 and D1tR0ck, as well as the presentation of questions on the topic "didn't you create error437 and alpha 1.2.3_06?", he claimed that he did not create them, but only demonstrated them to them as a novelty. Later, this Chinese man clearly demonstrated the work of the virus found in the error437 files (video at the end, in the gallery). This virus is called Kane MEMZ, the name itself makes it clear what can happen to Windows. This virus is dangerous.

A few weeks later, a third Chinese, a certain cubk114514, who claimed to be the creator of both mystical versions of Minecraft, wedged into their conversation in the Discord. When asked if there was a virus there, he did not directly confirm, but did not deny its presence either. Later, the same Chinese said that he was hacked and a screenshot with a huge list of viruses planned as an element of the game was stolen. The information was leaked by one of the Chinese talking about error437 and alpha 1.2.3_06 earlier, before cubk114514 appeared in the chat.

Updated version of error 437!

Disclaimer

(Information added in connection with the release of a new video from D1tR0ck)

What's new?

New and expected

In the new version, there are quite a lot of new features. Now, the Minecraft inscription in the main menu is laid out from the thigh, and in the very process of the game, you are now constantly exploding (not all the time, but through some of its intervals). The possibility of the appearance of the final stage of error 437 has also increased, in some cases, all stages may be skipped. An equally important fact is that the chance of the virus manifestation has grown very much. And the consequences of it have worsened. Also, glitches from alpha 1.2.3_06 have now begun to manifest themselves more often (For example, screen twitching with crackling sounds and changing colors in the face of individual segments of the screen, which are in the form of stripes). Well, to top it all off, you will not be able to pass this version, since the portals explode when you enter it. Be careful!

Brand new

Also a couple of brand new features of this updated version:

• Herobrine enters the game.

• The virus in the updated error 437 causes a screen of death when a window appears asking if you want to play minecraft for the last time. And it doesn't matter what you click on, the screen will be there anyway.

• If you try to enter something into the MS-DOS command line, which you may have after closing error 437, the content itself will be partially replaced with a bunch of meaningless Unicode characters, and will also flip over.

Results and interesting facts

Old versions (before 03 and turning it off)

• Depending on whether the player has a head, the heads of other mobs appear or disappear.

• There is no secondary character in the game (for example, in error 422 there is entity.ERROR422.name, and the errorbrine version has errorbrine)

• Changed: There is no minor character in the usual error 437, but in the updated (02 and above)one he appears in the person of herobrin.

• Chicken is the most frequent mob

• Zombies most often appear without a head.

• If you take any tool in your hand, and then click by pointing at the block, then this item will disappear, and a random block will appear in the place where you clicked. The same thing happens with blocks, when in the process of installing them, another block may appear instead of your block.

• Complete absence of sounds. Not even any background noise.

• At night, without light sources, it will be difficult, since the darkness is like in the alpha versions of minecraft, only even darker.

• Despite the presence of the Kane MEMZ virus in the game itself, the only thing we can suffer from is the dialog box, where if you click OK, then the entire desktop will be filled with herobrine's face, and terrible howls will turn on in the background. This is definitely not the Kane MEMZ virus, as it would be very costly and dangerous to remake the virus to match the style of minecraft. However, the presence of one of the most dangerous viruses in the game files should strain you. (CHANGED. The virus can easily manifest itself, there are screenshots) I was also taking a lot of risks while mining screenshots and surviving in error437.

• No extraneous and modified textures were found in the game files, although after reaching the penultimate stage of the game, the textures change, and there are also no traces indicating the skins of mobs without heads. It is assumed that scripts replace textures with those that are included in their code at the code, and not at the graphical level. Although the game logo was found in the files on the crash screen for the last stage of error 437.

Although the game logo was found in the files on the crash screen for the last stage of error 437.

• The water lilies are multicolored and, depending on external factors, change their color to random.

• There is a chance to get a kilometer-long text on the plate, having completed writing the text on it, going far beyond the plate itself. Just like water lilies, it changes the color and content of the text, but not as actively.

• In hell, there are no problems with the spawn of piggies, they will spawn as usual.

• After closing the game, there is a chance of a command prompt window signed as MS-DOS command prompt. Although it is not physically present in Windows OS, starting with Vista (MS-DOS was captured in Windows 7 in the photo).

• Herobrine in the updated error 437 is an aggressive mob, be careful.

New (all versions starting from 04 and ending with 07)

And here are the new items:

• In the new menu, the logo wriggles, and there is also a notification that this is not the final release yet.

• When you enter the world, it automatically opens to the network.

• Some entity with a nickname ??? (most likely, herobrin) writes to us to turn around and that he sees us.

• After this message, herobrin with a diamond pickaxe will be behind us, but later, he will disappear.

• Almost all the water has been replaced with glory.

• Crosses of infernal cobblestone, unknown block and mossy cobblestone appear. Others have not yet been noticed.

• You may suddenly be teleported underground, straight into the lava or to another place.

• You can stumble upon distant lands (although, in fact, they were cut out in Beta 1.8).

• Sleeping on the bed will not work, otherwise - an explosion of very high power.

• The record 11 or death may suddenly start playing, when the last one from the list is played, a very loud sound will be made, be careful.

• Crosses with the inscriptions null and ERROR.

• In the villages, the usual cobblestone was replaced with mossy, residents were not noticed.

• The texts on the plates (namely kilometer ones) are now in Chinese

• The final stage of the game can now occur at any time

• Herobrine distorts textures, and then attacks, followed, after a while, by the crash of the game.

• The character can start to move spontaneously

• A certain glowing block may appear, going into which we arrange a huge explosion, and then crash the game.

• After the battle with herobrin, a fake screen of death may fly out

• At any moment, a ton of errors with the death header can fall out on your monitor, nothing happened after they were closed.

My theories

There is a theory that error422 and error437 are brothers because of the similarity of the gameplay, as well as the same atmosphere. Scripts for extraneous effects (distorted hunger panel and interference) are also very similar. However, this theory is refuted by three factors. The first is that there is no virus in error 422, although there is one in error 437. The second factor is that there is a minor character in error422, although there is none in error 437. And the third factor is that error422 was mentioned on the Internet much earlier than error 437.

Despite the complete absence of any mystical mobs, I have a theory that the version itself has self-consciousness. This theory is proved by the fact that during the game we can meet signs where we are asked to save someone's soul and so on. Also, we can accidentally fly things out exactly when it's not convenient for us (cave, lava lake, sea), as if the game is watching us through the blocks and everything that surrounds us. Also, sometimes a red inscription appears in the game, superimposing effects with red stripes on the entire game window. The inscription that appears at that moment translates as "You shouldn't be here" (Eng. You shouldn't be here), also important is the fact that during the appearance of this inscription, the player's control is blocked, thereby error 437 tries to draw the attention of a careless player to his requests. The version itself looks unfriendly, driving away from itself with its appearance. Perhaps the self-consciousness, sharpened in the game, wants to be alone, alone with itself. And we annoy him with our appearance, that's why it tries to kick us out. And the final stage of the game can be called, so to speak, unrestrained swearing when the game crashes, but the minecraft logo on the crash screen is distorted and painted in demonic colors, the game window itself, along with the hitbox, twitches, and in the text field where the reason for the departure of the game is usually written, mountains of meaningless Chinese characters are written in red handwriting. Moreover, the game window is not closed yet. With this behavior, the game is angry at us and does not just let us take and ignore our statements about the fact that we play it without her desire.

I assume that the MS-DOS window is part of the virus, since it has been removed from Windows OS for a long time. Already in the days of Windows Vista it was not. It also proves the behavior of MS-DOS itself, when the user interacts with it. When you try to type something into the MS-DOS command line, the content itself will be partially replaced with a bunch of meaningless Unicode characters, and will also flip over.
