Honestly, the only *fake* thing about it is it wasn't a legit skyblock world. Everything else was fully legit. You didn't cheat the items or effort that went into the sky island itself, and I'd even argue the extra effort of setting it up and hiding what evidence you could was still an impressive ordeal, especially when one fall could not only *lose* you your hardcore world as a whole, but reveal the entire gameplan in an embarrassing fail. Honestly, pretty impressive altogether.
@@LoonyMC Actually the original skyblock _wasn't_ in a cold biome*. When the challenge came out, it wasn't in a snowy biome, however the map file when moved to the next version then did change to being in a snowy biome. After the change, it was decided the challenge was more fun because of the biome, and so in line with tradition most subsequent maps were intentionally placed in snowy biomes. So the original map was not intentionally in a cold biome, it was a happenstance of a version change.
Fair play on making it believable, it def was confusing to think you started a new series and just leaving the old hardcore behind, but it seems there was an answer, not far away lmao
@@benygames7399 soon we will find his creative test world is just a couple thousand blocks away from the main base and he removed his health bar with a resource pack
I actually think it's very normal for (almost) nobody to have caught on because there wasn't a reason to actually mistrust you. Fake also seems like a strong word cause you actually did the whole thing and it was a very cool side project :3
I think it means I'm gonna watch it, that's what. You and Loony and I'm going to guess at two others given the name of the SMP. Absolutely going to watch!
Lmao, and here I was thinking something along the lines of "dude why are you freaking out, if you die now you'll lose like an hour of playtime, which sucks but it's not that big of a deal" how wrong I was... 🤣
This is coincidentally the only videos from you I haven’t watched. I noticed that you started a skyblock series, but I watched so many back in the day that it simply doesn’t attract me anymore. But if I would have known that there was a mystery to solve I probably would have watched it.
this is some advanced clickbait. thought this was going to be a video complaining about a lot of 100 day hardcore worlds being fake, but then i get a 5000 day hardcore video instead
A major spoiler is you didn't unlock recipes as you would in a normal new world. Like if you fall in water you unlock boat recipe, you get wood and unlock sticks and crafting table recipe, but it didn't happen, because you already unlocked all recipes in the game
To the people who didn’t watch the video: Basically long story short, he built up really high and recreated a skyblock map up there and started from scratch. Only one long-time viewer figured out that he wasn’t actually on a skyblock map but rather his already-existing hard-core world.
I mean you still followed the rules of the challenge, just in your own world. So for me it's not a fake. Skyblock is a concept, no need for a particular map.
I don't really see your point here tbh. Sure, you faked the shyworld world by having your actual hradcore world underneath, but unless I'm missing something, you didn't cheat in any way. So wouldn't that mean that it's practically not a fake hardcore skyblock playthrough since the challenge was the same, if not greater as you were risking your world?
Well maybe his entire trick was to make us watch - first with a "new" series that weren't exactly new, then with this video. Poor guy just wants some views
@@mistrsportak9940 poor are the people who spent 12 minutes hoping to see a real, groundbreaking point, not another SkyBlock series. The whole title is a clickait sadly :c

That is so devious! The sandstone certainly would've been a tell for anyone who paid that much attention to your inventory. But some of the other stuff really isn't. It's been over a decade since I last played Skyblock, there are many interpretations and updated versions these days, so things like mushrooms in flower pots (not sure how mushrooms normally behave on glowstone, but as a map creator you'd want to make sure they don't pop off on a block update) or part of the world being in a snowy biome could very well be intentional to make sure you can get certain items. I guess the most obvious tell should've been you removing the water you were using to float - there's no way someone with a combined 10000+ days in Minecraft Hardcore would make such a blunder. That said, what would've happened if you had fallen off before getting the means to survive the impact with your Hardcore world? Losing the world in a supposedly completely separate series sounds like a certain way to make a lot of people tilt.
The sandstone doesn't really mean anything. How many Skyblocks are there? I bet _at least_ one has sandstone. Nothing really meant anything aside from the exp at the start.
@@RipleySawzen I'm pretty sure I've seen a skyblock where the entire bottom layer is sandstone so that none of the sand falls unless you try to mine the bottom.
I would argue that you did the opposite of faking it, you took painstaking steps to make sure the experience was as authentic as possible! If thats faking it, then so are all the museums that show reconstructions of dinosaur skeletons!
damn and I was really looking forward to finding out how you dealt with not having lava for the rest of the skyblock 😂 but I admit I wasn't expecting the twist to be "this is actually way HIGHER stakes than you thought."
It being in a snow biome makes it less suspicious in my opinion as the original skyblock map in either release 1.0 or 1.2 (I forgot which one) got set to a snow biome from biomes changing with those updates.
@@sytchnoth yeah I agree on that one… it would have been a more interesting concept had he just done it in creative. But I guess it’s just trying to say a lot can be covered up without the viewer giving any attention to it
Okay but like what was the point you were trying to prove? that modern Minecraft videos have become excessively performative? because that would have been a really interesting topic to talk about instead of doing this for the s8 GoT esc random subversion of expectations
Was totally fooled to believe you started a skyblock challenge in a new world! At some point during video 3 I was thinking how funny it would be if this was in your Hardcore world but I'm still so new with Minecraft and it's mechanics that didn't even consider it could actually be possible option. Well played and planned prank! Really enjoyed this!😹
I think you might need to change the title to "I have a confession to make..." probably get the same amount of clicks and less outrage from the viewers. "...to prove a point" you didn't really do that and it also made the people watching assume things that outrages them. But if your goal is to gain interactions from viewers, such as commenting rage or questioning about the title of the video, well you got it. it got recommended to me, a random viewer who don't really watch these types of minecraft videos. so good on ya for gaining interactions, boosting your channel and losing some of the viewers respect towards ya. it doesnt matter in the end anyway so why do i even care.
For real, there’s nothing of real substance here. An impressive enough skyblock run I guess, but a million people have done that ATP. Just 13 minutes of some dude patting himself on the back for “FOOLING EVERYONE!!!” when there was really nothing to even be tricked over.
I am confused as well. Was the point that render distance could be used to cover up a real world below? Falling off and not dying because of water below would essentially just be an in-game version of duplicating the world file or reverting to a backup. Though, I'm starting to believe this video isn't geared towards older audiences, so theorizing about what exactly the point was is kind of just a time sink.
12:25 I think the point he's making is that we can believe some things that aren't correct even when there is evidence otherwise, just because that was our initial inclination
Doing skyblock in my hardcore world is always been my dream, but i can't fullfil that since i die in day 600 and i need to focus on my collage. Thank you loony, with this video at least i know how it feel
I have my phone set, so at nine pm it goes to black and white (it helps with sleep), I noticed the smooth sandstone in the inventory. I even though "what's that block?" but ultimately was too lazy to turn off the black and white, just to see what block it was. I enjoyed the series, and it was realistic. The signs were there, but to be honest, a lot of skyblock maps break, so people just cheat and fix the issues. Also the snow can just mean it's in a cold biome. I don't expect content creators to announce every time the map breaks or something. I ultimately don't care, I watch because it's entertaining, and if someone creates the map in creative or hardcore (Loony you madman, damn), it basically doesn't change anything. When I play some map or challenge, there are times I need to cheat, just so I can play. I'm not gonna be mad at someone, because they needed to do the same. Great work as always! ❤You pulled really elaborate prank on us. ^^
Wow - another amazing video, Loony! You definitely got me. I fully believed you were just doing a skyblock challenge, but doing it in your hardcore world is so much riskier and something I don't think I've ever seen done before. Can't wait to see you on stream soon!
I screamed in the sand stone scene and laughed at the zombie scene .... we believed because we trusted you well proud of you for tricking all of us (mean it) ... we really watch things for entertainment not to be detectives (man I could have figured it out ahhhhh) oh well now I will never trust anything or anyone (I always had that quote and always never went by it)
I just trusted that Loony wouldn't fake a video. All the other vids I've seen from him seemed fine so I assumed this one was just a hc series. Man, you had me fooled.
You could've started an actual skyblock series and I would've watched so I don't understand why the deception but that was a fun reveal anyways! Could you not have popped a totem to drain your XP all the way or does it not work that way? I had never played Skyblock so i didn't realize that the snow was out of place and the advancements I just assumed were edited out. All in all, it's not out of place to think that you'd start a different kind of challenge just to mix up the content variety so I'm actually a little sad that there won't be more skyblock. I am excited to try that string duper in my own world though! Thanks for the ride Looney!
I did see you didnt get the Recipe Unlocked thing on the top right, but I just ignored the thought... Because on a SkyBlock map I had made for my friends I had already used the /give command to already unlock all recipes on them and I thought this map used a similar datapack. Nice prank and would be the best if sent out on April 1st...
Newcomer to the channel, I don't understand the point? So you essentially made a skyblock playthrough, but it's "fake" because you set up the islands yourself, except that you just... still did a normal skyblock playthrough? You didn't even cheat the skyblock or anything. I'd just say you did a skyblock playthrough with extra steps more than "faked" it. Yeah he said something along the lines of "you'll believe what you watch is real even if there is a mountain of evidence saying it isn't real" but like, it still *was* real???
Hey Elle, welcome to the channel! It's real, but it's not what I presented it to be, still everyone took it for what they thought it was. There is no cheating in the video, as it's essentially a critique of the real cheaters.
@@LoonyMC I just feel like if you're trying to prove the point of "you guys will believe cheaters" then you kinda failed. People believed that it was a hardcore Skyblock playthrough, and it essentially was. The only difference was the world that you played on. And the "mountain of evidence" was just that it snowed. Most people wouldn't know the exact biomes of the normal Skyblock map.
@@LoonyMC If you wanted to prove a point, you *should* have cheated. As it stands, there's nothing to be proven. Any differences could just be chalked up to preferring a different map.
Faked the series by just playing actual normal skyblock in a different world. No wonder everyone was fooled, the fact you're in another save has no bearing on the playthrough basically at all.
I haven't seen any of your videos before as far as I'm aware, but I'm definitely gonna start watching your channel as your videos just have an overall funny chill vibe
Ok, I slept a night over it, but I still can't tell what is Fake about the series... Like you played by the rules, did all the grind, like if it was over an ocean and falling would be safe that would be different, but like only the stakes were higher and the map was self-created and you didn't have the advantage of high spawn rates near the void... so basically you just made it harder on yourself...
I just said on episode 4 that the only thing I noticed was you not buliding lower down. I also did see snow later on but I figured that it was a map in a different biome; nothing says you have to start in plains. If weʼre counting things on that level, it does also explain why you did villager trades instead of a passive mob farm.
Hi Loony, i watched all your skyblock episodes and you definitely got me. Its crazy to look back on all the close calls knowing what the stakes were. This was an awesome project and it will be so cool seeing your island randomly when you fly around your world! Also im very exited for the smp!
I have been here since 10k subs as Ro De and it’s awesome to see how far you have come! Although I miss the livestream I only see improvement in your videos ever time you make a video! Keep up the good work and don’t lost this hardcore world like you lost the last!
I never played Skyblock, I only play regular Minecraft. At first I was just wondering why you weren't mining the Center-Block (the one which gives you blocks and mobs one after another), then I thought maybe it's another version of Skyblock... also the "murder" of the chickens got me thinking, when no death message occured cause of the void... but I thought maybe it got cut in the editing... you still got me fooled. I never thought that this wasn't Skyblock! Non the less I had lots of fun being fooled, so thanks for that Looney 😁
The way my job dropped, I can always count on you to take Minecraft to the next level. From the dragon glitch to now this, your world is going to have so much history. Love seeing it all come together!
I'd say you did the challenge as legitimately as you could under the circumstances you set for yourself. No mods, self-made island, still starting with nothing otherwise. Doesn't sound fake at all to me.
@LoonyMC if you put your lava on a block with drip stone underneath, you can make it drip into a cauldron that generates lava source blocks (get drip stone from the wandering trader). I've done this to make entire portals but the one drawback is it takes a while. :/
Omg I can just imagine you giggling as you replied to my comment at episode 1 about naked and afraid and the deceit smp comment. You got us real good loony, real good.
Tbh, this is less "fake", and more "skyblock at home". lmao You still put the work in to do the challenge, plus all the added time trying to hide the evidence. This is legit just how I'd set up a skyblock challenge on my xbox 360.
This is amazing! I was confused by the mushrooms in pots but my skyblock world does have snow too (different creator) so yeah you totally had me fooled :D but it is a great Idea!!
Almost heart breaking how fooled I was. I also cannot believe you slept because you never would’ve before. Excited to see the new series love the content!
Damn Loony you got all of us fooled. But…….. you wouldn’t be your amazing self if you didn’t prove that point and pull it off so flawlessly. This is why we all tune in to your content. Keep it up.

12:25 I think the point he's making is that we can believe some things that aren't correct even when there is evidence otherwise, just because that was our initial inclination
"To prove a point" what point did you prove? Lol
Probably that not every video or challenge is real
Doing skyblock in my hardcore world is always been my dream, but i can't fullfil that since i die in day 600 and i need to focus on my collage. Thank you loony, with this video at least i know how it feel
What point were you trying to prove???
That's unironically really cool
It's not fake if you didn't cheat
fake
/feɪk/
noun: fake; plural noun: fakes
a thing that is not genuine; a forgery or sham
(8:14) The real give away is that this a 2-year terror shriek and not a 50 day terror scream.
I wouldn't say the series was faked, just simulated. After all, the challenge you faced was real, just with different stakes
I have my phone set, so at nine pm it goes to black and white (it helps with sleep), I noticed the smooth sandstone in the inventory. I even though "what's that block?" but ultimately was too lazy to turn off the black and white, just to see what block it was.
I enjoyed the series, and it was realistic. The signs were there, but to be honest, a lot of skyblock maps break, so people just cheat and fix the issues. Also the snow can just mean it's in a cold biome.
I don't expect content creators to announce every time the map breaks or something. I ultimately don't care, I watch because it's entertaining, and if someone creates the map in creative or hardcore (Loony you madman, damn), it basically doesn't change anything. When I play some map or challenge, there are times I need to cheat, just so I can play. I'm not gonna be mad at someone, because they needed to do the same.
Great work as always! ❤You pulled really elaborate prank on us. ^^
In these "hardcore videos" trends, couldn't people easily fake everything with mods? To me, it's just for views for gullible young viewers.
That's exactly my point... streams or it didn't happen..
So basically you played skyblock in your hardcore world, the only thing that was faked is that it was a new world
Wow - another amazing video, Loony! You definitely got me. I fully believed you were just doing a skyblock challenge, but doing it in your hardcore world is so much riskier and something I don't think I've ever seen done before. Can't wait to see you on stream soon!
I screamed in the sand stone scene and laughed at the zombie scene .... we believed because we trusted you well proud of you for tricking all of us (mean it) ... we really watch things for entertainment not to be detectives (man I could have figured it out ahhhhh) oh well now I will never trust anything or anyone (I always had that quote and always never went by it)
I just trusted that Loony wouldn't fake a video. All the other vids I've seen from him seemed fine so I assumed this one was just a hc series. Man, you had me fooled.
So like…….what was the point he proved?
That he made a skyblock playthrough in his hardcore world and people thought it wasn't. And it's pretty cool
@@kreuner11 so the point he proved was that humans are idiots and anyone can fake stuff like this?
watching this knowing it is your hardcore world I'm suddenly very scared every time you bridge over "the void"
i wouldnt say this was “fake”
more of just a makeshift, “at home” version of skyblock
You could've started an actual skyblock series and I would've watched so I don't understand why the deception but that was a fun reveal anyways! Could you not have popped a totem to drain your XP all the way or does it not work that way? I had never played Skyblock so i didn't realize that the snow was out of place and the advancements I just assumed were edited out. All in all, it's not out of place to think that you'd start a different kind of challenge just to mix up the content variety so I'm actually a little sad that there won't be more skyblock. I am excited to try that string duper in my own world though! Thanks for the ride Looney!
Glad you enjoyed it, I'll continue the series later, but first there's some epic multiplayer content coming your way!
I mean, at the end of the day, you still did the skyblock challenge, just not in a skyblock world.
kind of a bummer this is the first video from your channel i get recommended
I did see you didnt get the Recipe Unlocked thing on the top right, but I just ignored the thought... Because on a SkyBlock map I had made for my friends I had already used the /give command to already unlock all recipes on them and I thought this map used a similar datapack. Nice prank and would be the best if sent out on April 1st...
Legitimately impressive gaslighting. You played the challenge fair, and even made it harder by risking your hardcore world. Respect!
Newcomer to the channel, I don't understand the point? So you essentially made a skyblock playthrough, but it's "fake" because you set up the islands yourself, except that you just... still did a normal skyblock playthrough? You didn't even cheat the skyblock or anything. I'd just say you did a skyblock playthrough with extra steps more than "faked" it.
Yeah he said something along the lines of "you'll believe what you watch is real even if there is a mountain of evidence saying it isn't real" but like, it still *was* real???
Hey Elle, welcome to the channel!
It's real, but it's not what I presented it to be, still everyone took it for what they thought it was. There is no cheating in the video, as it's essentially a critique of the real cheaters.
@@LoonyMC I just feel like if you're trying to prove the point of "you guys will believe cheaters" then you kinda failed. People believed that it was a hardcore Skyblock playthrough, and it essentially was. The only difference was the world that you played on. And the "mountain of evidence" was just that it snowed. Most people wouldn't know the exact biomes of the normal Skyblock map.
@@LoonyMC If you wanted to prove a point, you *should* have cheated. As it stands, there's nothing to be proven. Any differences could just be chalked up to preferring a different map.
Faked the series by just playing actual normal skyblock in a different world. No wonder everyone was fooled, the fact you're in another save has no bearing on the playthrough basically at all.
I have been bamboozled... DUDE WHAT IF YOU HAD DIED?!!
I haven't seen any of your videos before as far as I'm aware, but I'm definitely gonna start watching your channel as your videos just have an overall funny chill vibe
3:48 wouldn’t it have been easier if you just cleared out your ender chest enough then put it all in it, then punched the enderchest?
You can't fool me twice, his new "SMP server" is just going to be the same hardcore world with sockpuppet accounts as the other players
Or is it?

Ok, I slept a night over it, but I still can't tell what is Fake about the series... Like you played by the rules, did all the grind, like if it was over an ocean and falling would be safe that would be different, but like only the stakes were higher and the map was self-created and you didn't have the advantage of high spawn rates near the void... so basically you just made it harder on yourself...
I think that qualifies as fake, just not as cheated ;)
I just said on episode 4 that the only thing I noticed was you not buliding lower down. I also did see snow later on but I figured that it was a map in a different biome; nothing says you have to start in plains. If weʼre counting things on that level, it does also explain why you did villager trades instead of a passive mob farm.
what point was bro tryna prove 💀
Dude, you did so much more than just a skyblock world. You did it in hardcore, and set the whole thing up yourself too 💀
Props man
im absolutely flabbergasted, i really did think it just was some side thing you where doing, very good on hiding all the things, ggs
This is actually a great idea for late normal and hardcore worlds.
Hi Loony, i watched all your skyblock episodes and you definitely got me. Its crazy to look back on all the close calls knowing what the stakes were. This was an awesome project and it will be so cool seeing your island randomly when you fly around your world! Also im very exited for the smp!
I have been here since 10k subs as Ro De and it’s awesome to see how far you have come! Although I miss the livestream I only see improvement in your videos ever time you make a video! Keep up the good work and don’t lost this hardcore world like you lost the last!
I never played Skyblock, I only play regular Minecraft. At first I was just wondering why you weren't mining the Center-Block (the one which gives you blocks and mobs one after another), then I thought maybe it's another version of Skyblock... also the "murder" of the chickens got me thinking, when no death message occured cause of the void... but I thought maybe it got cut in the editing... you still got me fooled. I never thought that this wasn't Skyblock!
Non the less I had lots of fun being fooled, so thanks for that Looney 😁
thats oneblock iicr
The way my job dropped, I can always count on you to take Minecraft to the next level. From the dragon glitch to now this, your world is going to have so much history. Love seeing it all come together!
I thought you were up to something especially when you just so happened to end the series on a cliffhanger but i definitely wasn't expecting this!
Haha love the comment, thanks so much!
I'd say you did the challenge as legitimately as you could under the circumstances you set for yourself. No mods, self-made island, still starting with nothing otherwise. Doesn't sound fake at all to me.
If anything this only makes it more impressive
"Snow isn't common for Skyblock"
Actually it's... the original map is in a Taiga If I'm not mistaken, but it does snow in it.
My bad on that one, I thought it was plains!
@LoonyMC if you put your lava on a block with drip stone underneath, you can make it drip into a cauldron that generates lava source blocks (get drip stone from the wandering trader). I've done this to make entire portals but the one drawback is it takes a while. :/
Omg I can just imagine you giggling as you replied to my comment at episode 1 about naked and afraid and the deceit smp comment. You got us real good loony, real good.
Tbh, this is less "fake", and more "skyblock at home". lmao
You still put the work in to do the challenge, plus all the added time trying to hide the evidence.
This is legit just how I'd set up a skyblock challenge on my xbox 360.
Well played, i didn't think anything of it. Because I've only played skyblock once. 😂 I still enjoyed these weekly videos, though. ❤
the fact that if you had died during the skyblock series your other series would be gone too is insane...
This is amazing! I was confused by the mushrooms in pots but my skyblock world does have snow too (different creator) so yeah you totally had me fooled :D but it is a great Idea!!
I was too
"I faked a skyblock challenge" *actually just plays skyblock normally, but in an existing world.*
I don't even get the point you're trying to make. No cap, write a script and read off of it next time for clarity.
Almost heart breaking how fooled I was. I also cannot believe you slept because you never would’ve before. Excited to see the new series love the content!
“you’ll see what you believe you are watching, even if there’s mountains of evidence pointing to something else” 🔥 🔥
Damn Loony you got all of us fooled. But…….. you wouldn’t be your amazing self if you didn’t prove that point and pull it off so flawlessly. This is why we all tune in to your content. Keep it up.
I think it was fake because if ADVENSMENTS but i believed you and you goach me. Lol
Trust your instincts!
@@LoonyMCI found it suspicious in neather but disregard it
@@LoonyMCdammm yes gived me the life lesson
Being trolled by Loony is the best! I freaking love it.
Hey Loony! Can’t wait to see the hardcore world livestream to return
You don't have to wait long xD
@@LoonyMCawesome!! And keep up the hard world loony! Love the vids!
@@LoonyMCwoooo I'm so excited
the reason he was very worried while bridging, cus this is his hardcore world
