Minecraft's Most Disturbing Experiment

Minecraft has a long history of events and stories, but none as disturbing as this. The Closed Map Experiment is Minecraft's strangest and most disturbing social experiment, a test of players resulting in betrayl, revenge and real world attacks.

This is NOT a series called Minecraft VVSauce where I explore random features of Minecraft. Not Minecraft, but the water rises or Minecraft Manhunt but a documentary about a disturbing experiment. Even more disturbing then the possibility that Dream faked his boat clutch in a manhunt vs sapnap, badboyhalo, georgenotfound, antfrost and awesamdude.

The most unbelievable part of this story is that someone could manage to schedule 30 players at the same time

[YUKILOID]

You call this "Minecraft's most disturbing experiment", I call this "an average modern day Minecraft video"

[Neuwey]

The griefers love to grief other players, but absolutely can't take it when they are given the same medicine.

[graciouslump]

imagine hacking someone because they took down your base in a block game

[RG_Rizzy]

My expectation: woody hacks anyone who tries to leave the server

Reality: salty griefers

[purplehaze]

I love how this video is over a year old at this point and "betrayal" is still misspelled in the description.

It’s so interesting yet sad to see how everyone in the server resorted to violence. It’s basically every apocalypse known to movie and human history. Whenever I watched movies about apocalypses, I just sort of brushed it off, forcing myself to believe people couldn’t be so cruel towards others, but deep down I knew it wasn’t true.

I’m honestly so glad that they decided to work together at the end, though. It’s just insane how this correlates with reality.

Him: "No, it's just a block game."
Also him: *talks like he is reading a creepypasta*

[abiyyufh]

The story started like a usual Minecraft server and ended up like the hunger games

[smudged]

I think dismissing the results simply because it's a block game is ignoring a lot tbh. From what the players demonstrated (initially being peaceful, to slowly realizing resources becoming scarce, forming alliances, conflict, etc) it really does mirror what can happen in real life, and how humans deal with trying to survive. There have been real life experiments similar to this, but on islands. You'd be surprised to find that it's more similar than you'd expect.

This was actually really interesting. The questions at the end that woody posed were very interesting as well.

[ValtheCal]

“If the walls were suddenly torn down, how do you think players would react?”

*Looks at 2b2t*

[Proud_Knight]

When the griefing is so bad that people trade in renewable resources

[singingcat]

I love the way you tell stories, keep up the good work !

[livvylubug]

This was genuinely so interesting, i wish i could find some sort of series someone made of this because this entire experiment... honestly is inspiring to me. 30 players in a limited resource box of bedrock, clans, war, anarchy and so on? that made this entire thing impossible for me to look away from. imagine the story lines that could have been created with this? if this was an online series on youtube i would have watched it. the start of the war, the end of the server- honestly was amazing. i wish there was more stuff like this.

[Poseidon-odyg]

Plot twist: wifles is jay and that’s how he knows so much about the story

[AubreyMoreau]

During the war:
Axe:
Dwarves:
Brotherhood:
Merchants: trade

[circuitbreaker]

This was really interesting. I have actually thought about running my own social experiments and I now have a lot to think about.

[DigitalHandle]

I wish there was stories similar to this! They're so entertaining!

[drany]

Anyone else think it's really cool how the dwarves and the merchants kinda RPed like how the dwarves created a tunnel system and the merchants stayed out of the war and just traded?
