The Secrets Behind Minecraft/Season 1

This is the first season of The Secrets Behind Minecraft.

Chapter 1 — "Minecraft 1.12.3"
Minecraft is a very popular video game around the world, especially today. But there was a version that was dug up on Twitter and Discord that almost nobody knows about: Minecraft 1.12.3.

1.12.3 never had a full release, just an in-dev. A player says he found a leaked 1.12.3 download on MediaFire, which was quickly removed. A FANDOM/Wikia user called PlugMan643 claims he got the download and was frightened by his experience. For one, the game had eerie music playing, and it did not say it was composed by C418. It said it was composed by Unknown. It also had a new creature called the Killager. They had disturbingly big smiles and if you encountered one, it would just stare at you. After they stared at PlugMan643 for a long time, his computer froze, and then it crashed.

A user on Twitter named Joseph Jaskan (@PaintingsPalet) stated that he spent about sixteen minutes playing 1.12.3 on January 16, 2018. He started a new world and things were normal for a little bit. But then, about ten minutes in, he heard weird breathing, and he was chased by a Killager. The bottom of the screen read, "RUN FROM THE KILLAGER TO AVOID THE DEVICE CRASHING! :)" Jaskan ran for about six minutes, before the Killager appeared on the screen, disturbingly smiling. His computer then crashed, and it had to be replaced because it would not turn back on no matter what.

Mojang and 4J Studios deny the existence of this Minecraft version, although Markus Persson, the creator of the game, stated that he had plans after 1.12.2 for another 1.12 version. This brings up the theory that he wants to admit it but isn't brave enough to because of the controversy.

In short, 1.12.3 is the worst Minecraft update, and that is why its existence is denied. And now Mojang and 4J Studios are facing controversy because of it. Today, there are hundreds of talks online about 1.12.3.

Chapter 2 — "Pixelcraft before Minecraft"
You love Minecraft, right? If you do, then great! Because who wouldn't? You get to fight Endermen, build houses, and mine for items. But it wasn't always this way at Mojang. There was another game that Mojang was working on by themselves.

Pixelcraft.

Pixelcraft almost had an in-development release in 2008. The game was online only, and you could not create a server. You were automatically put on one.
