Exploring the world of YouTube minecraft ARG’s I came across a not very popular yet quite deep mystery. Our protagonist’s name is Macricon2023 and it has a few let’s play videos with some odd information in the descriptions. Apparently this is footage from 2020 and Macricon is left puzzled by the rabbit hole he had discovered. He was asked by Mojang to test some unreleased Minecraft versions and an “ex”-Mojang employee gave Macricon a computer of which the minecraft versions were created on. However in the very bottom of the description in some videos, somebody seems to be warning us about Macricon, and any mention of the warnings (which are encoded in Caesar Ciphers), he denies that he can see them. Here is the channel: https://youtube.com/@minecraftcodenameversions?si=bJeCMuM-Dtx8qF5s

Video Title: new beginnings
Description about this video:
This video was when i finally reinstalled Minecraft because of all the bugs with 1.16, also I remember signing up for the "Beta test program" i thought it was a normal version of the game but I was mistaken, It threw me in a deep rabbit hole that I wanted to share to all of you fellow [r...
The first video is here and we know it’s from 2020 but the other date like the day and month of the recording are unknown
Everything seems to be normal except for the fact that it’s extremely laggy and the frame rate is trash
He stares into very low render distance at the end followed by the message “It has started”.
Original Video Title: new beginnings 2
Description:
I remember this was a version that somebody sent me I think it was the Mojang Development Team, they said if I could test this version, of course I said yes, I didn't know yet that it would throw me into a deep rabbit hole that I had have to solve for years to come by, Also recently an "ex-Moj...
The next video he starts on his house and the video starts with a glitched purple textures everywhere
The description has a Caesar cipher at the very bottom.
qb qavb wdmz gmb.
“It isnt over yet.”
In the description it says “Also recently an “ex-Mojang Employee” gave me his laptop which he used to develop the “versions”.”
File name: mcfootage3.mp4
Description:
I don't really remember this version the only thing I remembered was a new door texture and a new dirt texture, but for the rest I have completely forgot, I found this "video" on my computer it is in "HIGHEST" quality that I could get it to.
Update: The laptop that the "ex-Mojang" employee gave me is lock...
In the next video the Doors texture as well as the dirt texture changed.
Apparently the computer the ex-Mojang Employee gave him is locked with bitlocker and he is still waiting for a response as to the password.
This is also the best quality video he said.
No anomalies that I could see of within this video but the description has another Caesar Cipher which reads
“this “player” isnt what you think”
Macricon is also in a Mojang skin
Moving on…
Original File Name: mctextureshowcase.mp4
Description:
This is a fairly short video but has a lot of thing's to talk about, First, the new plank textures, the new texture looks like the brick texture, I don't know if this is intentional or not, But it does look "fairly" decent, Also the new dirt texture kind of looks brighter than the normal di...
The next video doesn’t have much except for a new Wooden Planks texture and supposedly a new sign texture, but he says he is “too lazy to show it”.
However, at the bottom of the description is another Caesar Cipher.
It reads:
“please dont believe him he looks innocent but hes not please”
Somebody clearly is warning us about Macricon, and Macricon denies the existence of the cipher at the very bottom of the description
Macricon did say he wants to make these versions open to the public via the videos.
The original file is: mctextureshowcase.mp4
Original File Name: pretest01.mp4
Description:
So I found a video of pretest01, as you can see there is a new sign texture and cobblestone texture, also they added Raw Iron which can be found in 1.17 or 1.18, it looks pretty much the same look when the new texture was added in 21w16a, they had a good enough texture for it but they decided to re...
In this next video we see the retextured signs
Apparently some time has passed and he has 33 ingots and three diamonds as well as some iron tools.
He said that raw iron was also added.
Cobblestone has also been retextured.
It seems that in every video there is a new version.
But that is only the tip of the iceberg for this video.
This is where the ARG really starts better.
This entrance to a tunnel keeps having cuts whenever Macricon looks inside, it is a tunnel with no torches and some weird anomalies keep happening around this.
Inside is unnatural, and no mobs spawn because this is a peaceful world (for some reason he cannot turn it to normal).
However after Macricon looks inside it cuts to him heading towards the house.
The rest of the video is mainly normal as he is chopping trees but as he heads towards the same tunnel
He appears to examine it as if he never built it
When he looks in the tunnel, the video ends.
There is no Ciphers in the video description.
The next and final video is the most intriguing of all.
Description:
So it seems like this video seems to have the old Minecraft soundtrack. I vaguely remember this, It used to play most of the time when I was playing this version. The music changed a lot through the development versions, Most of the music is removed in the next update or either it's improved or changed. But, not much has changed in ...
He spawns inside the house and everywhere has been darkened, he cannot break or place blocks yet he can open and close doors.
We see him talk in chat visibly confused
Macricon thinks it has to be corrupted or something
A weird soundtrack of minecraft music plays in the background and he Relog thinking it could do something
ill look into this tmr
He says “There might be an exit”
However he cannot continue past the darkness as it stops him
He looks for an exit
He says “wait” before staring down the end of the front yard of his house before walking in, he has a black screen and a new world is loading.
However, he appears to be in a veryyy strange place.
Confused he freaks out and his pc crashes.
The final video ends.
I’ll let you guys look into the community posts as it contains a lot of information
I brightened one of the images up and got this. Very interesting
Looks like a player
Or something
A face?
Name is “.unkown()”
Here is the original image but I don’t know if my brightened version is totally accurate if someone else can brighten it better please do
It kind of reminds me of a pig face I’ve seen before
For me its a human face with 3 distorted eyes

Similar to this
Some type of image I guess
Anyway there is another sentence but in German
die inskrywing is die leidraad lassen Sie sich nicht von Lügen blenden.
Time to translate
Woahhhhh
This one has some lore
here it is
“The inskrywing is the suffering, don't let yourself be blinded by lies.”
Are there any new video guys?
I wish there were
Found something
So it should read
The entry is the suffering, don’t let yourself be blinded by lies.
Another cipher in the description of the_entry.mp4

“theentryistheonlywayout”
the entry is the only way out
I feel like there are too little of videos
It feels like there has to be more
maybe there is a url somewhere?
Still no new uploads
