THE LOGO CHANGED ITS SO GOOD OH MY GOD

hey all!! angela here

i have decided to give the subreddit a little makeover with a new icon and banner, each with a few series i know about/have watched to make it a bit more lively. i also did some tweaks to the overall colors of the sub to make it Green. it's Green Time
feel free to give any feedback on these changes, im not too confident in the banner design myself lol

toodles!!

Like im talking about some args I can't remember off the top of my head that created literal dimensions and then u have the more recent ones like searching for a world that doesn't exist that has like an entire area full of giant ass trees and that one town area underground and even on the 2nd part of the aeries where they have really really giant mountains and that infinite library. Do they really build that all by hand/some mods to assist with building? Or is there something im missing?

As you know nowadays an ARG/unfiction can be based on literally anything so what is the wildest thing it could be based on?

I have an idea for arg based on literature Hell's screen and opera Tosca.

Hello, i made this reddit account and post because i need help. I joined a little server not long ago and i encountered someone's base and it was full of signs and books with weird builds, i encountered a lot of base while playing this but this one is kinda weird.
unfortunately my pc is very bad and i keep crashing when attempting to explore the base.
Could someone go there and give me footages of everything in it please ? It looks like some kind of ARG(even though im new to this) so i think it can be something interesting to post here, but if its not that interesting i'll delete the post and im sorry for the waste of time.

It's on a server called "ThealaterSMP" coords : -5616, -604, please be very respectful and kind, this a pretty peaceful server with no intention of being popular or dissected, just explore the base like a normal player and dont annoy anyone please
PS: i dont really know what flair to use ? this one seem more appropriate i guess, i dont really want to make an arg but if its interesting it can be one, but i just need answers

heyoo, my name is vastly, im a developer and artist (i also make mod packs) and for a while Ive really been into ARGs, so i thought why don't i make one for myself ha ha !

however i wanted to be creative with it so i turned the ARG into a Mod pack (sort of), meaning you'll have to play through the pack to uncover all the secrets and underlying story

if your interested in looking through it and would like a hint on where to begin, listen closely in the main menu

I plan on releasing the ARG in phases to keep it balanced with my life and make it fun instead of stressful for me

Note : I am releasing a new version soon with more features, phase 1 will still remain, but the pack itself will be WAY more fun ;D

https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/theoldindustries

The ARG starts in the LATEST versions only, don't come to me asking if the other versions matter, they don't

Ello! I don't know if I'm using the right tag, but I need suggestions with an ARG I'm trying to make. So, the basic thing about the story is that it's on an old SMP type server. I need someone to tell me what Minecraft version would work best for an old server feel, but actually be usable.

I also need to know any Minecraft server services that are free that would work to host the server off of to make it believable. The ability to add mods is needed, preferably Fabric, but Forge will do.

i've heard of it but idk if its legit and real or like faked

How do I solve Vigenére code?

In the new Minecraft live ARG made by Wifies, we see him in one of the codes (the 5th or 4th I'm not sure) using Vigenére code to make it hard to solve

And so, since I recently tried to understand and get more into solving ARGs, I just realised how stupidly hard that code was.

I did already by now understand how both Base64 and Caesar Code works

And yet? I'm failing to understand that one

I can use websites to understand it, for sure. The problem is I'm still not understanding how the websites even work for it. Like here, I used dcode.fr/vigenere-cipher website to try and decode the Vigenére Code "XSUW NF KEMV"

I still don't really know what it means, and that's why I'm asking, I'm trying to see if someone could help me understand how that code works anyways and how solving it on websites works

And so, yeah. I wish someone helps me with that 'cause I'm struggling. Thanks

I’m attempting to find an ARG/Video/whatever you wanna say, and have thus far been unable to.

There isn’t much I remember about it, it’s been about a year maybe 2 since I’ve seen it. But it entailed a person (the player we watch) getting sucked into the game, and having to survive. He eventually finds his friend in a big castle, but it doesn’t seem like the friend is actually IN the game like our character. Then the castle is destroyed, blah blah blah, I forget. But it ends with our player falling into a cave and coming face to face with the entity that’s been “terrorizing” this world. But the entity doesn’t want to attack him or anything, it just wants to know about him. About humans, and it ends with the entity being happy that there are other actual living beings outside of where he is. The POV of the videos are from the perspective of a camera. Like the player is holding the camera looking around in game. I cannot stress this enough, the player has actually been pulled into the game, not consciousness wise or sucking into their characters body. But sucked in entirely. Obviously they have a skin, but they move and interact as if it were the real world

I know that’s probably not much to go on, but I would be greatly appreciative if anyone can find anything about this. Thanks!

1. Introduction

In May 2026, a YouTube channel named Caedes (Latin: "slaughter") began uploading cryptic Minecraft videos. The channel handle was @normalinternetplayer. No description. No links. No creator identity. Just a series of increasingly disturbing videos that blended Christian theology, psychological horror, and complex ciphers. By the time the channel went silent in June 2026, 17 videos had been uploaded, alongside a hidden Google Drive folder and connections to real-world atrocities.

---

2. The Videos: A Chronological Breakdown

Phase 1: The Victim's Story (Videos 1-4)

The early videos show a nameless, silent player with poor building skills, wooden and stone tools, and a passive, frightened demeanor. This player never places a torch until Video 7, and never interacts with villagers. This is not Caedes, but a separate victim — the "sinner" mentioned in the creator's summary.

· Video 1: Normal gameplay; strange whine at 2:10; day-to-night scream at 4:00; three end images.

· Video 2: Mors136 joins the Nether, types a cryptic Morse-like string, then pushes the player into lava with a mocking "?".

· Video 3: Crosses and pillars everywhere. Jesus appeared on the big cross.  Morse code flashes, later decoded as "3ERTX DLIKA, Æ BLIZKO" → "Death is close, I am close."

· Video 4: Latin sign demands a sacrifice; the player kills a cow, throws offerings into a pond; ending shows a drawing: one figure kills Jesus (becomes upright cross), three others become inverted crosses. The four killers are revealed.

Phase 2: The Witness Arrives (Videos 5-13)

At some point, Caedes — a more skilled, proactive player — enters the world. He builds houses, saves villagers, places torches, and begins documenting the truth. His name is confirmed in Video 13 after he earns an achievement.

· Video 5: Mors136 spawns on a cross; Primum sends numeric code 5 24 16 15 19 9 20 9 15 14 → "EXPOSITION". Primum jumps on the ocean all around and static screen of "Mori" appeared.

· Video 6: Primum and Secundus appear; Mors136 chases the player, who flees.

· Video 7: The three entities (Primum, Secundus, Tertia) give their codes; a broken link flashes. Codes: Primum's Enigma → "Kill, Mors, Death"; Secundus's Morse → "NGS"; Tertia's numeric → "MISSHOME". The link leads to 1 John 3:15 ("No murderer hath eternal life").

· Video 8: Quartus condemned; scattered letters C, O, M, I, C, S → "COMICS". Latin phrases: "God will not forgive Quartus", "Slaughter. Beware. Hide.", "The dream of slaughter is a prediction."

· Video 9: Dark stone/bedrock descent; anomaly photo shows two hands holding funerals for Jesse_alt123 and kusokookbasi. Pigs around a cross; baby in womb. Latin flashes: "Remember death," "My son, you have made a grave mistake," "Your soul will be destroyed. You are an eternal martyr; your head..." Final photo sequence: Mors136 kills Jesus, all become crosses.

· Video 10: Title screen shows two headless men (version 1.2.6). Caedes joins as a player. Links to Bucha massacre Wikipedia and an Epstein PDF. Coordinates: Colosseum, Rome. The player strikes Caedes; warning: "Do not touch him."

· Video 11: "Discendo" flashes. Level-save conflict. A caged "player" texts "SALVUM ME FAC". Mors136 kills him. Caedes retrieves a button "4 9 5" (DIE), opens a gate, reads signs: "You will never leave, don't try," and "The evil in me is incurable." Mors136 charges.

· Video 12 (Flashback): The four friends — Mors136, Primum, Secundus, Tertia — build a village and church together. Mors refuses to pray, throws pork in the church. Tertia admits knowing a "strange version" of Minecraft. The creator's summary calls this "Patricide."

· Video 13: Caedes in version 1.7.10; he befriends villagers, builds a house. Mors136 joins, slaughters the village, sets fires. Caedes builds a cross that glitches Mors, then extinguishes the flames. He declares "I set off on a journey."

Phase 3: The Apocalypse (Videos 14-17)

The final trilogy is marked by a star in the titles. The countdown begins.

· Video 14 (Star 1): Caedes's house is now two stories. The sun is partially eaten. He finds a giant structure with glowstone crosses, a dark tunnel, and a book titled "-316" (negation of John 3:16) by Mors136. The Latin prophecy: "With this reading, a countdown to judgment begins..." 48 blank pages, a final dot. The structure glitches, disappears. Text "Sun." on blood-red background.

· Video 15 (Star 2, 42 seconds): Caedes retrieves a book: "The stellar retherizatores are either extinguished, absorbed, or die. Angelic anomalies continue to materialize." A scary photo ends the video.

· Video 16 (Star 3): The sun is diagonally consumed. Giant glowstone cross. Caedes writes an arithmetic sequence whose answers spell APOCALYPSE. He retrieves book "1" by Mors136: "The boy who dared not obey the will of God... is no longer human... he has some most dark, unspeakable plan." He barricades his house.

· Video 17 (Star. — the final upload): Blood-red, shaking world. Caedes finds a chest with coordinates and a book titled "Tertium cuniculum" (The Third Tunnel). He descends into a dark, bedrock tunnel. Another book, "ANIMADVERSIO": "When the devil reveals his true nature in the star, immediately climb through the pipes — this is the only way to salvation. Know that this will lead to unforeseen things." The devil's face appears. Binary 00110011 00110000 ... → 30.06.2026. Final text: "Tempus Advenit" (The Time Has Come), "Non effugies" (You will not escape). Caedes climbs the ladders, emerges, and sees the devil's face on the sun. The video ends.

The creator's summary video labels these recordings: Video 14 as "Devil's plan?", Video 15 as "Warning?", Video 16 as "Devil eating the sun", Video 17 as "The beginning of the apocalypse."

5. The Narrative: The Gospel According to Caedes

5.1 The World

A corrupted version of Minecraft — Alpha 1.6.0, which does not exist in reality — serves as a digital purgatory. In this world, Jesus was crucified but never resurrected. God is either absent or a cruel spectator entertained by the slaughter. The four Roman soldiers who killed Jesus (Primum, Secundus, Tertia, Quartus) are trapped in an eternal loop, reenacting their crime and demanding sacrifices. Their killing leaks into the real world through historical atrocities (Bucha, Epstein).

5.2 Michael's Fall

Michael, a boy who rejects religion because he cannot pretend to believe, enters the game with his friends. He refuses to pray, desecrates a church, and writes the Books of Apocalypse. He becomes Mors136 (Quartus), the devil's sidekick, the only entity honest enough to admit God is not coming. His books set the countdown to the Apocalypse.

5.3 The Witness

A separate player, Caedes, enters the "stable" version 1.7.10. He finds Mors136's books, triggers the countdown, and documents everything. He saves villagers, builds crosses, and extinguishes the fires Mors sets. After finding the final book in the shaking, blood-red world, he descends into a dark tunnel and climbs the ladder to salvation — only to see the devil's face on the sun. The outcome is unknown.

5.4 The Testimony

Caedes leaves a Google Drive folder containing a GIF of spinning crosses ("God's entertainment"), a family photograph dated May 18, 1994, iMessages between Michael, Peter, and Scott discussing religion and Minecraft, an image of the Alpha 1.6.0 update, and two audio files (one Morse, one invalid). This is the record he preserved for the next investigator.

---

6. Unresolved Threads

Some elements remain deliberately open:

· Tertia's human name (likely starts with T; the Morse "M T T T M" and a photo of a girl confirm her existence, but her silence is her role).

· The Base64 strings from the Epstein PDF (all attempted keys produced gibberish; they are likely corrupted data representing the broken world).

· The Morse "#" audio (the invalid character symbolizes the unspeakable truth — a spectrogram might reveal an image, but without a desktop, this remains unchecked).

· Caedes's ultimate fate (did he escape? Did the devil take him? The creator leaves the Apocalypse's outcome in silence).

· The "PREMI" box in the photograph (possibly an anagram of "IMPER" — command — but never used as a key).

· The identity of Jesse_alt123 and kusokookbasi is still completely unknown. Potential victims from past.

---

7. Conclusion

The Caedes ARG is a masterpiece of psychological horror, theological worldbuilding, and cryptographic complexity. It tells the story of a godless world where the only honest soul becomes the devil's sidekick, and the only salvation is a silent witness who carries the torch to the very end.

I did not solve every cipher. Some doors remained locked. But I bore witness to the Apocalypse, and I have documented everything I found. If another investigator comes after me, they will find this file waiting — the testimony of the normal internet player who did not look away.

"Discendo." By learning. The truth is not given. It is acquired. And it is here.
