cave sounds are sounds from steves mind, as steve inches ever closer to insanity, my theory is theres something wrong with the skulk and that its not what it seems. the skulk has a way of getting to people. getting to there heads. my best guess is the skulk has mind altering properties.
Mien is mainly gonna be on the music discs so I think that what happened is that the guy was in a mine just mining his business and trying to light his cigar, then he sees a huge explosion happening in the mine due to some problem and starts panicking and breathing heavily, trying to find the page of his book that contains a map showing the exit out of the mine. Then he starts running and building blocks to get out as he doesn’t have enough time to cross through the proper track on the ground.
I believed that you (the player) was present during this incident with the miners and that's why you have so much knowledge about mining, and the ability to utilize tools. You survived and you are hearing the last miner die to an enderman in disc 11. Every time you enter the dark, a cave, or get near a cave, you hear hallucinatory sounds that remind you of the incident that happened to you in the past. Just bad memories.
Something to note further is that the zombies wear the same clothes as you, which is unusual until you realize it's very likely the uniform worn by the miners
@sockaloupe you don't hear any hostile enderman sounds while they were running, so I think the explosion surprised the player and made them run from the cave
Years ago when I still played MC, when I decided to change all the sounds in the game, I decided to change every single cave sound with reverb farts. What was once me desperately lighting up a dark cave as quickly as possible was now me running around hoping to hear an echoey fart.
The wiki actually said that cave sounds were added because they tell a story about a tragic incident that happened in the mines years before the player was in the world each cave sounds tells a certain fate that happened…
I suppose it is possible that the Miner from the disks was the last survivor from the rail collapse incident, desperately trying to make it to the surface, but the collapse of the rails meant he couldn’t return via the mineshaft And maybe the explosion that happened didn’t allow the Enderman to reach the miner persay, but the explosion happened, miner looked towards the noise, and ended up staring at an Enderman
Ooooo that’s super possible! I really wanted to talk about that possibility, as I too realized that when writing the script for this video. But, I couldn’t really find a super supporting link. But I like to think that’s possible!
The explosion also sounds like it could be a minecart falling down. Maybe that sound and the Enderman sounds are PTSD fuelled hallucinations. I don’t think we hear the miner die, so maybe he does get out and maybe he is Steve. And maybe every time you enter a cave your PTSD plays up and you hallucinate noises from the minecart incident and that’s why you hear them.
15:54 I'm late so you probably won't see this, but I think it's more likely that it's not dirt, but gravel. It kinda sounds more like a gravelly sound than dirt, and gravel naturally generates in caves, so yeah. And he was only running on it for a few seconds, indicating that it was just a small gravel patch.
I like to think that the reason the player(steve) keeps hearing these noises every time he goes in some type of cave, is because he has trauma from the minecrart rail incident. Caves just reminded him of what happened when he crashed in a minecart. It also helps understand why the cave sounds sound so eerie and faint. Maybe because of the incident it feels like a new world for steve every time a player makes a new world. Like he forgot everything from the minecart crash.
I know this theory might be stupid or what not but here’s what I think disc 11 is about. I was thinking that maybe what if the person we hear in disc 11 is a person who survived the Minecart incident. So maybe once he gets up there’s a bunch of smoke and rubble everywhere hence why he’s coughing. He brings out a flint and steel to possibly light a torch because it’s hard to see through all of the debris from the crash. And maybe those sounds we hear in the beginning while he’s placing blocks are him sniffling and like crying almost because of the incident he has just gone through. He’s probably looking in his map to see where he can exit the cave safely. But since the exit is probably going it be blocked off he tries to find a different way out. This is when he notices that ender man are watching him. That’s when he starts panicking and starts to break blocks and starts to go faster and faster until he’s caught. He wasn’t able to make it out of the cave. I don’t know sounds a bit strange but I think it’s a pretty good theory
I think that the warden is actually chasing the character that is at the centre of the accident, as there are distinct roars that are quite similar to the warden. The light ambience twinkles remind me of amethyst.
what i find very interesting is the description of each noise on the minecraft wiki. This is probably the most interesting theory I've seen so far. Probably cause i've never actually looked into it. Cave.1ogg - Echoing steam-train whistle. 8:43 Cave.2ogg - Angelic singing. 8:48 Cave.3ogg - Low pitch orchestra. 8:55 Cave.4ogg - Demonic roar / Wind echoing in a tunnel. 9:02 Cave.5ogg - Ringing. 9:09 Cave.6ogg - An engine passing by. 9:19 Cave.7ogg - A gong ringing softly. 9:25 Cave.8ogg - Devilish whiff / Blaze breathing. 9:32 Cave.9ogg - A sound as if an airplane was flying in distance. 9:38 Cave.10ogg - Echoing bang and violin screech. 9:43 Cave.11ogg - A distant minecart passing by. 9:47 Cave.12ogg - Loud bell. 9:51 Cave.13ogg - Demonic grunt. 9:56 Cave.14ogg - Steaming sound. 10:01 Cave.15ogg - Possibly a distorted train whistle. 10:13 Cave.16ogg - Banging metallic objects. 10:22 Cave.17ogg - An Iron door slamming shut with a bell ringing. 10:31 Cave.18ogg - A Minecart tumbling down / something banging on wood with keys. 10:44 Cave.19ogg - Growling noise. 10:53 The way you explained is actually accurate to the description, but i feel like there has to be more... I'm still trying to figure out what really caused the crash 🤔
I believe it was a creeper explosion that caused the crash, because it would make sense in sock's theory as a structural accident occurred which caused the minecarts to derail.
I thought that the player (Steve or Alex) was a part of this crash and survived, and due to the traumatic experience you were most likely given PTSD and every time you go into the caves, you get flashbacks and hallucinations of the incident. And, I believe your theory of the collapse seeing as some mineshafts go over ravines and just... stop... nothing to stop the minecarts from falling off the mineshaft. And if we take a look at the rails of the mineshafts, we can see that some rails are just... missing... meaning that something had to have happened to get rid of some of the rails, but if we also look at the minecarts with chest's in them. They have glowberries (a food source), some torches (Most likely used to lighten up the mineshaft), spare rails (Probably for repairing some broken rails), coal (for making a fire or torches), Melon seeds (Probably to chew on like what some baseballers do to sunflower seeds), nametags (Not sure what they are for but they might be for a new miner so that people will get to know their name), and some gold or redstone (Not sure if redstone appears in the chests but oh well. These items are most likely their finds from mining that they would store in the minecarts with chests and then take the minecarts back up to the surface, If successful with their mining trip, but I also know that I might have missed some items out so I'm very sorry) And the loot found in these chests had to have come from a miner as a mob cannot put items into a chest (Unless they were killed above a hopper connected to a chest) so that means there had to have been more people around before us, and speaking of chests with items, in comes the Deep Dark, probably a safe haven for an ancient civilisation (as there are redstone testing areas and some watch towers to keep them save) who worshipped something seeing as there is a giant indestructible portal in the middle, big enough to let something in... But there safe haven was probably destroyed by the Skulk (Maybe a virus like the Cordyceps) that took over their beautiful safe haven and created a monster, The Warden...
steve's hallucinations i think, when you go too down theres like a dark shade around screen, maybe steve is afraid from caves and has a trauma. But- its just another theory its like when you create a game you wake up and dont remember nothing
tbh it makes sense that an Enderman could have caused the explosion by using TNT, you stated that they wouldn't have any way to trigger the explosion, however, you forgot about the possibility that the Enderman could place the TNT block on top of a lit redstone ore
You know, the fact of only one thing hitting water after the Disk 11 explosion can be explained through there being low amounts of water/ maybe even someone water bucket clutching. Then they'd have to run with disk 13 being played separate.
Loved the video Sock! I can see A LOT of effort went into making it! Personally I've never really looked into cave sounds too much, I just know that they're there to scare the live out of me when I'm peacefully mining. (Yes, I'm a wimp). To me, some of the cave sounds sound a bit too 'mystical' to be just minecarts. Almost Slenderman-like. But I don't want to think on that too much because that will freak me out more the next time I hear them
TNT has historically been used often in mining, and with it, there comes a lot of accidents. Perhaps the railway collapse was the result of prematurely detonated TNT, or too much of it. That could also account for the hissing sound in the music disks. Even considering that the two are likely not related, seeing as TNT is a major factor historically in mining accidents, I think TNT could be a plausible explanation for the events of both.
To my knowledge, mojang makes minecraft in a way so that there are things hinting towards a story to get people thinking about the game. This video shoes that works. Great video btw :D
Amazing job solving this story, but what if the explosion is from the miner blowing a way out (maybe the papers shifting is the miner trying to use a manual to make a tnt??)
That paper wrestling that we hear in the audio is most likely a journal because the year that that disc came out didn't match up with any of the other paper objects. The only paper object that was around whenever disc 11 was released was the journal.
This is a really good analysis. However, what i believe is two separate incidents within those discs occuring. Disc 11's coal/ore miner is lost in a mineshaft while being stalked by an enderman. While Disc 13's coal/ore miner was thrown into the water by a creeper and survived. Miner 1 lights a torch and opens a guide map. While miner 2 is presumably searching for a way out. Suddenly, Miner 2 heard hissing sounds and when he turned around got thrown into the water while debris rain down by him. Miner 1 obviously hears this and relights his torch and stares at the enderman's eyes. Miner 2 gets out of the water and flees to the surface. Miner 1 runs away from the enderman and nearly makes it to the surface before getting slaughtered by the enderman. The mineshaft collapse happens way before the 2 got split up, due to weight of the minecarts and the strain of the enviorment. Multiple miners go around, unaware of what about is to concure. While they were doing duties and going around. The mineshaft collapses, plumetting multiple victims down below into the dark. Miners 1 and 2 tried to find their own seperate ways out. However there were presumably a couple more survivors judging by the carts left abandoned after they got out and checked to see what the noise was before going to get help or being silently killed by spiders or their re-animated former collegues. But this is just a theory, a game theory-
There was a Game Theory video about disc 11 and 13 and how there are cuts and you can change them between each other to get a full story. Matpat also mentioned how you can he the faint sound of a bow being shot twice and an arrow hitting stone once, presumably from a skeleton.
Hey, great vid! I liked the unique take on how everything lines up together. However, I do have a personal opinion on the more vocal/human sounding audios tie into everything. At the beginning of the audio tracks, there are many files that sound more like humans breathing/yelling/singing, which can hint more at the soul theories of Minecraft and how they can get trapped in the overworld or nether instead of passing on. Likewise, the caves addition of sculk is almost like a collection of souls, acting like the overworlds soul sand (sounds of breathing/voices happen when blocks are broken) so maybe it can produce some kind of cry that the player hears while in the caves. The mine cart sounds however fit extremely well with the story you’ve put together here, I just feel that not all sounds come from the same place. Also, Cave 14.ogg is one that I think comes from the end and the plethora of static sounds that originate from that dimension such as static (mainly in the warped forests that are described to be “where the nether meets the end”) when Endermen speak to each other, and it also happens to mimic some of the sounds from the heart of ender from Minecraft dungeons (which is considered to be canon). (All proposition of that last bit goes to Xatrix, recommend him a ton for Minecraft lore)
i have a theory about the discs. the lone miner was going about his day working in the mines when he heard strange sounds in the distance. this could be the rail collapse. he decided to try and get out just in case something incredibly sinister happened that he doesn’t know about. he then notices some hostile monster in the mines with him, and he barely escapes alive. he gets to a safe place in the mine where he sets up a disc to attempt to document his findings. however, the explosion in the distance takes place, allowing the monster to get to him. he starts running, recording still going, and gets to the exit of the mine. the monster is catching up, so i think the recording cutting off right there could be the miner ditching whatever was recording the sound to distract the monster while he gets out of the mine. now, we all know that the character the player controls is very good at mining based on the fact that they can effortlessly create pickaxes, carve out massive mines within a couple days, and collect dozens of pieces of very valuable ore to use for many different things. my theory is that the lone miner in disc 11 could be the player’s character escaping a near death experience before the player takes control of the character to start playing the game. this could also provide an explanation as to why disc 11 appears shattered, as the recorder that it was in was thrown at the monster to distract it, shattering the disc inside. let me know what you guys think about this theory
That actually makes sense! I infact always wondered how the player is so good at creating tools and armors, like you need experience for it, maybe you are indeed right, the disc 11 protagonist could be the player!
I believe that the music disc incident and minecart rail collapse theory are related, the lost miner(from the music disc theory) was near the rail, lost in the nearby cave, trying to find a way out, but suddenly an explosion, the other miners(riding the minecarts) think that it was an ordinary explosion(since explosions usually take place in mineshafts to clear an area) and didn't think much of it, but the lost miner saw or heard the explosion nearby, he saw that the railway was destroyed, he was trying to warn the other miners, but he saw an enderman, and the enderman started chasing him, he probably tried to warn the others about the collapsed railway through whistles and horns, but the other miners didn't notice. The lost miner probably accidentally stared at the enderman while trying to escape and eventually met his demise. Shortly after, the miners crashed into the collapsed railway.
I'd like to think the meaning of the Cave Sounds is to add a feeling of mystery to Minecraft, by all means, we're not really supposed to know what's making the sounds, because it just makes the game feel more mysterious. That being said, when they were added to the game, there was a story known as "White Eyes" that was arguably the ancestor of the famous "Herobrine" creepypasta. That doesn't mean the sounds relate to him though, but there's probably some theory that makes that claim.
This is a great theory video. Although I feel like without disc 5, it remains incomplete since disc 13 and 5 also sync up pretty well. Add on top of that the references to both the Wither and the Warden in disc 5 and you have that miner caught in pretty insane situation.
haha yeah, i haven't even considered disc 5, it was added so much longer after. I can already tell disc 5 is about the warden though. A minecraft dev that made the warden was talking about how he made the warden because he was so interested growing up in the end of disc 11. Pretty much saying the warden was inspired by the disc rather than what is in it...
i have a creepy mod idea for minecraft using these sounds ( involving the mineshafts ) - minecarts with horns on them having a chance to go off when you pass by them ( cave 1 / 2 / 19 ) , you are able to break these minecarts and collect the horns. - minecarts being seen moving across the rails with no driver ( cave 3 / 6 / 9 / 11 ) - minecarts suddenly moving at you at very fast speeds when you step on the rails, the minecart can kill you ( cave 4 / 13 ) - a skeleton being seen in one of the minecarts ( cave 5 ), the skeleton has a chance to wake up and step out of the minecart ( cave 7 ) - a minecart moving a tiny bit when you get close to it ( cave 8 ) - a miner looking at you before despawning ( cave 10 / 12 ) - a disturbing noise playing, if you look behind you a random monster will be infront of you ( cave 14 ) - a miner on a minecart can be seen going across the rails, if you go to where the minecart is, the miner will be gone but there will be random ores and a pickaxe surrounding the minecart ( cave 15 ) - a minecart seen traveling across the rail before derailing ( cave 16 ) - a miner on a railcart can be seen crashing into a wall, falling off a bridge, or crashing into another minecart, killing the miner ( cave 17 ) - if the mineshaft has a bridge, a chunk of the blocks will suddenly be applied gravity and fall to the ground. this will have a chance of happening whenever you step on the bridge ( cave 18 )
wow, i came across this very late and i realised that I gave my opinions a few years ago on my theory. i think with the minecart theory, a creeper blew up the area, then chaos ensued i still kind of think it was mainly a crash, but your theory could also be true (also i still dont fully believe if the sounds are in actual order, but maybe they are idk) I think there were three survivors, steve, the guy from disc 11 (who dies to an enderman later after escaping the crash), and i think if there was an incident with the track and its collapsed, one miner fell deep into the deep dark (disc 5). so steves really looking at a lot of trauma i liked the revised video, keep the content up
@@sockaloupe I definitely believe it is a creeper, because right around the impact a creeper's face is present in the spectrogram, that feels like it cannot just be randomly placed.
Andddd the discs were originally music he used to listen to with the other miners So steve destroyed it hoping it would make him feel better but every time he puts it on hes reminded of the incident bc thats his trauma 😳
Ive got a theory this is partially about the cave but what i think is the only reason that your the lnly player (except when you play multiplayer) is because of all the players that lived in the world ended up dying while they were mining. And you were the only one who survived from the accident, which could explain why you have to gather your materials to survive because you lost all your stuff from the accident
I always believed they had nothing to do with each other. I always thought that they were all just ghostly echoes of people that never came out of the caves. I always assumed the villagers had some relation to it. Like the one's you see are the ones left after 90% of them were wiped out.
Maybe the Creeper heard in the disks caused the rail way to collapse, thus causing the miner to accidentally look at the endermen and running Also the splashing sounds could be some dead miners or minecarts hitting the water
This is all the enderman sounds reversed in a certain order. “Hello" “Can you hear me?" "You messed up" "Can you..." "Hear" “ME” “CAN" "YOU" "HEAR" "MEEEEE!” Shocking ain’t it? And sound 14 could be a creeper about to explode and 15 is the explosion Or the same thing as I said about the 1:45 mark. It also could be the Minecart track collapsing because of a creeper. The splashing is a survivor and they exit the water
imma feel weird if its already been said but what if it wasnt the enderman that placed the tnt, what if the miner wasnt lighting a fire, but lighting a fuse? that splashing presumably in the distance is something chasing him, and he is trying to blow up the entrance because of collapse maybe, you can hear what sounds like him walking and im assuming its away from would be tnt, and on his way out of being trapped he ran into an enderman and killed him, the only problem with this to me is that the explosive is faint and the foot steps are not frequent enough to verify he quickly got away from it, my other idea is that the splash might of been another miner also running, got cornered by a creeper and maybe was waiting for them to come to the miner we hear, but it exploded so he started running
@sockaloupe I combined your idea and @krishivvyas2948's idea while I added my extra thoughts about the sounds and got this: Cave 1: You blow the whistle on your minecart Cave 2: Responding horns Cave 3: Grumbling of wheels on rail Cave 4: Wind of a minecart going fast Cave 5: Several whistles of impending doom Cave 6: Even more grumbling of wheels on rail, multiple minecarts entering Cave 7: Minecarts continue to move on rail with yours Cave 8: Even more minecarts wheels, more minecarts entering Cave 9: Vibration of a minecart passing by, wind whooshes as it moves Cave 10: Your wheels making a horrible screeching sound when brakes applied, noticing on what’s to come Cave 11: Your Minecart continues to go fast Cave 12: Even more minecarts enter the railway Cave 13: All the minecarts are going so fast, that the wind echoes through the cave Cave 14: Several minecarts rush down the same path sounding like a glitch, another horn sounds Cave 15: There are too many minecarts, other miners notice and use emergency brakes to stop a catastrophic event, but it is too late Cave 16: There are so many minecarts that one got shoved of a bridge, falling down to the floor of the cave Cave 17: The minecart you are in gets shoved also, you hear wind, then your minecart Slams the cave floor at a high speed, you broke your fall and hear more horns sound afterwards Cave 18: All the minecarts and miners on the bridge have a combined weight so high, that the bridge collapses, everyone else falls to the cave floor with you Cave 19: Your ears ring for a second, when they stop, you hear wood creaking from the collapsed bridge and a quiet minecart engine running in the distance before stalling, you are the only survivor, these sounds still traumatize you to this day
Some cave sounds sometimes play a lower pitched sound, this could possibly mean that there could be different sound with a different meaning to it. No idea if this connects to the theory, but it’s what I think.
It's so consistent in my world that these sounds play almost unerringly near certain structures Cave 1 = Mineshaft near player Cave 2 = geode near Cave 3 = air straight ahead Cave 4 = huge cave Cave 5 = huge cave top, long drop below Cave 6 = aquifer near Cave 16 = massive water near
Here's what i'm thinking. The world of Minecraft is post apocalypse (at least that's what i've heard). If there really was an accident in the mines maybe that was the start of said apocalypse? I don't know if there's anything to back that up but it's a possibility. Edit: I mean, it could just be an event that stands by itself and not connected to anything but these are sounds that play literally any time you're in a cave. Not just when you're in a mineshaft. And why would they play so often if they weren't important?
Miner on tracks above a ravine meets a creeper, creeper explodes and the miner survives by falling in water then climbing out (disk 13)... cave sounds 14 and up with audio of metal clanking and screeching explain the sound of the left over tracks hanging on connected over the edge of a ravine which had water which the miner fell in (metal clank leftovers after the incident)...before he had sat in the minecraft which led to the fall into water he had whistled for help or sign of life (cave sounds up to 14)... then after settling down in the ravine in a bad condition after the fall he lights up flint and steel and opens his map which in the time the disc was added used to reveal coordinatesthen he was going up and met an ende man which took him before leaving the cave!... i changed the timeline a bit i think this makes sense... :)
i think maybe the disks are end of all 19 cave sounds, possibly because only 1 miner survived, ,coughing blood up, lighting the fire to look around. i heard a theory that the miners hit a creeper and it exploded, maybe another creeper was there? the enderman was near the exit so the miner died. the disks are like the sequel, leaving the story off with the last miner being blown up or killed by the enderman
So, with the theory that minecraft is just a dream of a miner, your minecart collapse theory is making a really sad pucture. Steve got into the collapse with other miners, and is now lying unconscious, dying. And sounds in the game are his "flashbacks", as his mind cannot just move on after this disaster
i kinda thought that a creeper exploded the rails to derail the minecart and crash causing the miner to fall in the water in disc-13 maybe the enderman from disc 11 placed a tnt block next to redstone ore to set off and explode and the other miner in disc 11 that made sense was the miner running from something maybe from the minecart crash started using the flint and steel to luminate his surroundings and the fire got put out so he ignite it again just to see an enderman and he accidentally looked into it's eyes and started running before he can fully make it out in the surface maybe to a village in broad daylight just to look back and get killed by the enderman. also maybe the miner was the same miner that survived the minecart crash to run away from something chasing him maybe the same enderman personally for me what they could've avoided letting this happen is to either have a security force in the mines making sure to prevent something bad that is going to happened or have iron golems in the mineshafts to prevent this incident incase of an emergency or the miners should have a weapon for self-defense incase like a iron sword or an axe along with a crossbow or just a bow at least that's what i think they should've have before going to the mines in the first place and the cave sounds for me atleast was the aftermath of the incident was the remnants of the crash of the minecart or ghosts of the miners that passed away haunting the mineshafts and the caves. that's what i visioned.
if minecraft would add maybe a video player we would've seen footage of the incident maybe there would be disk 17 of someone traversing in the caves but this time armed with a weapon
Maybe 2 of the miners managed to break before they fell into the collapsed pit of the tragedy. One of them which could have been the miner from the disks could have been trying to look for an escape out of the mineshaft, which ultimately died to the enderman. The coughing we hear could also be because of his condition from being in the caves while trying to find an exit. And the other could have taken a different way and had lost everything and that person could have became the player. That could explain why we hear these sounds because of the trauma the player experienced from that event and could be hallucinations.
18:32 okay so the next shot gives away the idea. i think there was a lava source nearby, and since this happened in a mineshaft, the wood set fire by proxy, which then lit the TNT. this type of stuff happens all the time before you even arrive at the mineshaft in game, unless you turn off the fire spread rule via commands. this isn't necessarily my take on the theory, but my point is that it's plausible.
here is a theory: disc 13 is supposed to be caves sounds i think, and the caves sounds were the main sounds in the minecart travesty. to play the proper miner story, you need 11 and 13, so i think the miner was happening at the same time as the minecart, just further away. the miner couldve escaped from the minecart, but was injured, but when trying to escape outside and get medical help, he looked at an enderman and got murdered by it
@@sockaloupe here's a part two that includes disc 5: instead of getting murdered, the miner continued on to his journey. but he's still being chased, he's running through this caved, and there's light at the end! after passing some gravel, he finds an occupied ancient city with people. that's where it ends just put the rest of disc 5 in there
My theory is that cave sounds mostly occur when the player enters a room or dimension that the game thinks that the player isn't fully or properly prepared for.
My theory: railwaycollapse miner survives the collapse and tries to escape he finds a spot miner tries to find exit throught a map BOOOM he tries to lit up the area again enderman in the distance running he finds the exit and then tries to run away he gets killed by an enderman the end
how cave sounds work is due to player mood, i think the sounds steve or the player have are just audio halucinations oif things your player has experienced in the past. the Dark, triggers those frights. i like to also think the music 11 is so horridly hated by everyone, so they just chuck it out. it may seem small and maybe funny. but to the player its like playing a recording of a friend dying. and you cant stand to hear it. Steve is maybe a PTSD Riddled man, who can only do one thing. be the last man on earth to make his mark on the world.
Okay but like what if He was a survivor of the minecart incident And runs away a little Trying to get distance from the horrific aftermath to recollect himself He lights a fire opens his book trying to find where he is in the cave system to where the nearest exit is He begins to cough due to having black lung disease and all the dust that was kicked from the collapse But he's not the only person who survived and the other person encounters a creeper causing the explosion in the distance The explosion opened up a different pathway letting in an Enderman It sounds like someone blew out the campfire and He likes it again He looks in that direction making eye contact with the enderman runs for his life. Nearly making it out and then death.
what if the miner in the disc theory is the only survivor of the minecart theory and i do respect ur opinion that they are not conected bcs every human has own opinions
my theory: maybe the second explosion could be an minecart that was packed with tnt for mining reasons crashes and a torch falls inside it exploding it and the person in disc 11 could have survived both explosions and its passing through the fumes of the explosion trying to get out of the cave with his map or maybe looking at an anotation on a book and finds and an strange creature (could be an endermen or another mob) and tries to outrun it but maybe stumbles and falls and gets killed thats why the disc 11 is broken
Maybe the miner was in a dark room in a mine dedicated to storing tnt and then he lit his flint and steal Ignited the tnt and he went in water then you hear the explosion then he exits the water and the tnt musta hurt a enderman in the other room causing the enderman to give chase to the man leading to his demise. Also it mighta not been him at the surface you know how abandoned mines in minecraft have that spot with the dirt thats in it like a giant room it mighta been him going into there.
I hear the Minecraft cave sounds but i don't go in the caves my character would be outside or be in a building that i made in Minecraft it happens when i play on my Xbox and they play a lot of times except when i play Minecraft on the PS4 it's pretty rare to hear them
theory what if the other miners used tnt and that was the explosion? it's likely that the guy who was in disc 11/13 did not know about the tnt and was just a player looking at a map or that the miners were attacked by mobs and they used tnt to thin them out.
I think the rail collapse is more accurate but what if a miner out of a cart tending to buisiness/ mining saw a creeper and ran but the creeper detonated just out of reach of the guy and messed up a bridge and he was running to warn the miners in a mine cart hence the bells/ brakes
what i think cave sounds are made 1.minecraft whistle 2.ghost humming when sees someone 3.minecart traveling and broken whistle 4.roar from nowhere?! 5.bell being ringed 6.furnace minecart sound 7. random gong 8.blaze in a cave 9.??? 10.screeching 11.minecart passing by 12.??? 13.same as cave sound 10 14.creeper becuz spectrogram 15.??? 16.minecart tumbeling 17.minecart crash 18.same as cave sound 16 19. endermen?!?!?!?!
LOL maybe i should start doing the same thing, whenever i play minecraft i always feel like i'm being watched. especially in a cave even during peaceful mode@@sockaloupe
I think that the dirt sounds isnt footsteps. Its the last try from the player to block the path between him and whats chasing him. Hes placing the dirt blocks
oooo I like this idea! somehow never seven though about that. I just think the way the audio of the blocks change makes it seem like the air is changing, like the player is acending.
@@sockaloupe i played Minecraft and noticed that the sound on the disc is the same as when you place blocks. Or maybe destroy them? But walking is muffled.
What do YOU think the cave sounds are about? Give me your best theory in this comment section! I respond to everyone (:
how does a comment from the creator have 0 replies? Well, anyway I think the cave ambients are just for spook
@@Ironicalyy could be! I do maintain in the video that the cave sounds are made to be scary and that could be all, it’s just fun to ponder haha
cave sounds are sounds from steves mind, as steve inches ever closer to insanity, my theory is theres something wrong with the skulk and that its not what it seems. the skulk has a way of getting to people. getting to there heads. my best guess is the skulk has mind altering properties.
The cave sounds could be auditory hallucinations caused by a traumatic event such as a minecart rail collapse that happened in Steve's past life.
Mien is mainly gonna be on the music discs so I think that what happened is that the guy was in a mine just mining his business and trying to light his cigar, then he sees a huge explosion happening in the mine due to some problem and starts panicking and breathing heavily, trying to find the page of his book that contains a map showing the exit out of the mine. Then he starts running and building blocks to get out as he doesn’t have enough time to cross through the proper track on the ground.
I believed that you (the player) was present during this incident with the miners and that's why you have so much knowledge about mining, and the ability to utilize tools. You survived and you are hearing the last miner die to an enderman in disc 11.
Every time you enter the dark, a cave, or get near a cave, you hear hallucinatory sounds that remind you of the incident that happened to you in the past. Just bad memories.
I love the steve backstory. I have always considered this to be part of the truth, yes. It would align really well with the game!
Okayyyyy... that's creepy to think about but would make sense
Something to note further is that the zombies wear the same clothes as you, which is unusual until you realize it's very likely the uniform worn by the miners
@@specsamhain_909 yk- that's actually a good point.
@@specsamhain_909 that's a great point
I think that the enderman wasnt chasing after the player, but actually was at the exit of the cave, and the player accidentally looked at the enderman
the player was for sure running from something, and with the enderman noises you hear before that, I think the enderman was after him from the start
@sockaloupe you don't hear any hostile enderman sounds while they were running, so I think the explosion surprised the player and made them run from the cave
It wasn't an enderman, but the player screaming before death
@@sockaloupeit could be a warden
Or maybe it was the warden or a other mob because there a whimper at the end
Years ago when I still played MC, when I decided to change all the sounds in the game, I decided to change every single cave sound with reverb farts. What was once me desperately lighting up a dark cave as quickly as possible was now me running around hoping to hear an echoey fart.
Lmaooooo
Lol
the water splash was probably the miner trying to throw water at the enderman knowing it hates water
i think it was a poop hitting the toilet water
@@sockalouperelatable
LMAO
I actually agree with this theory
The wiki actually said that cave sounds were added because they tell a story about a tragic incident that happened in the mines years before the player was in the world each cave sounds tells a certain fate that happened…
yeah! that's super cool. that would be in line with my idea!
I suppose it is possible that the Miner from the disks was the last survivor from the rail collapse incident, desperately trying to make it to the surface, but the collapse of the rails meant he couldn’t return via the mineshaft
And maybe the explosion that happened didn’t allow the Enderman to reach the miner persay, but the explosion happened, miner looked towards the noise, and ended up staring at an Enderman
Ooooo that’s super possible! I really wanted to talk about that possibility, as I too realized that when writing the script for this video. But, I couldn’t really find a super supporting link. But I like to think that’s possible!
The explosion also sounds like it could be a minecart falling down. Maybe that sound and the Enderman sounds are PTSD fuelled hallucinations. I don’t think we hear the miner die, so maybe he does get out and maybe he is Steve. And maybe every time you enter a cave your PTSD plays up and you hallucinate noises from the minecart incident and that’s why you hear them.
15:54 I'm late so you probably won't see this, but I think it's more likely that it's not dirt, but gravel. It kinda sounds more like a gravelly sound than dirt, and gravel naturally generates in caves, so yeah. And he was only running on it for a few seconds, indicating that it was just a small gravel patch.
that's fair! I could see that too. you're right, it's definitley more gravel-y than dirt-y!
I like to think that the reason the player(steve) keeps hearing these noises every time he goes in some type of cave, is because he has trauma from the minecrart rail incident. Caves just reminded him of what happened when he crashed in a minecart. It also helps understand why the cave sounds sound so eerie and faint. Maybe because of the incident it feels like a new world for steve every time a player makes a new world. Like he forgot everything from the minecart crash.
Yeah! that could be it!
I know this theory might be stupid or what not but here’s what I think disc 11 is about. I was thinking that maybe what if the person we hear in disc 11 is a person who survived the Minecart incident. So maybe once he gets up there’s a bunch of smoke and rubble everywhere hence why he’s coughing. He brings out a flint and steel to possibly light a torch because it’s hard to see through all of the debris from the crash. And maybe those sounds we hear in the beginning while he’s placing blocks are him sniffling and like crying almost because of the incident he has just gone through. He’s probably looking in his map to see where he can exit the cave safely. But since the exit is probably going it be blocked off he tries to find a different way out. This is when he notices that ender man are watching him. That’s when he starts panicking and starts to break blocks and starts to go faster and faster until he’s caught. He wasn’t able to make it out of the cave. I don’t know sounds a bit strange but I think it’s a pretty good theory
Yeah, I considered that!
I think that the warden is actually chasing the character that is at the centre of the accident, as there are distinct roars that are quite similar to the warden. The light ambience twinkles remind me of amethyst.
yeah!
but then why would there be enderman chirps and screeches?
what i find very interesting is the description of each noise on the minecraft wiki. This is probably the most interesting theory I've seen so far. Probably cause i've never actually looked into it.
Cave.1ogg - Echoing steam-train whistle. 8:43
Cave.2ogg - Angelic singing. 8:48

Cave.18ogg - A Minecart tumbling down / something banging on wood with keys. 10:44
Cave.19ogg - Growling noise. 10:53
The way you explained is actually accurate to the description, but i feel like there has to be more...
I'm still trying to figure out what really caused the crash 🤔
Yes!!!
I believe it was a creeper explosion that caused the crash, because it would make sense in sock's theory as a structural accident occurred which caused the minecarts to derail.
I thought that the player (Steve or Alex) was a part of this crash and survived, and due to the traumatic experience you were most likely given PTSD and every time you go into the caves, you get flashbacks and hallucinations of the incident.
And, I believe your theory of the collapse seeing as some mineshafts go over ravines and just... stop... nothing to stop the minecarts from falling off the mineshaft. And if we take a look at the rails of the mineshafts, we can see that some rails are just... missing... meaning that something had to have happened to get rid of some of the rails, but if we also look at the minecarts with chest's in them. They have glowberries (a food source), some torches (Most likely used to lighten up the mineshaft), spare rails (Probably for repairing some broken rails), coal (for making a fire or torches), Melon seeds (Probably to chew on like what some baseballers do to sunflower seeds), nametags (Not sure what they are for but they might be for a new miner so that people will get to know their name), and some gold or redstone (Not sure if redstone appears in the chests but oh well. These items are most likely their finds from mining that they would store in the minecarts with chests and then take the minecarts back up to the surface, If successful with their mining trip, but I also know that I might have missed some items out so I'm very sorry)
And the loot found in these chests had to have come from a miner as a mob cannot put items into a chest (Unless they were killed above a hopper connected to a chest) so that means there had to have been more people around before us, and speaking of chests with items, in comes the Deep Dark, probably a safe haven for an ancient civilisation (as there are redstone testing areas and some watch towers to keep them save) who worshipped something seeing as there is a giant indestructible portal in the middle, big enough to let something in...
But there safe haven was probably destroyed by the Skulk (Maybe a virus like the Cordyceps) that took over their beautiful safe haven and created a monster, The Warden...
yeah! i like this idea
@@sockaloupe Omg! Thanks for replying! I'm also really glad you like my idea!
thank YOU for the comment! (:
No one will read all of this💀
wow,finally a youtube of minecraft that ACTUALLY responds comments,not like others that dont even reads them
LOL I enjoy reading everyone’s stuff (:
steve's hallucinations i think, when you go too down theres like a dark shade around screen, maybe steve is afraid from caves and has a trauma. But- its just another theory
its like when you create a game you wake up and dont remember nothing
I like theories about the sounds being inside the player's head!
tbh it makes sense that an Enderman could have caused the explosion by using TNT, you stated that they wouldn't have any way to trigger the explosion, however, you forgot about the possibility that the Enderman could place the TNT block on top of a lit redstone ore
Oooo that’s really smart!!
@@sockaloupe Or the fire he lit earlier
You know, the fact of only one thing hitting water after the Disk 11 explosion can be explained through there being low amounts of water/ maybe even someone water bucket clutching. Then they'd have to run with disk 13 being played separate.
Personally cave sound 2 always sounded like an angel singing or screaming to me, like it was calling out to the miners to beware of the danger.
Yeah! It’s scary in its own way. It’s very eerie!
Loved the video Sock! I can see A LOT of effort went into making it! Personally I've never really looked into cave sounds too much, I just know that they're there to scare the live out of me when I'm peacefully mining. (Yes, I'm a wimp). To me, some of the cave sounds sound a bit too 'mystical' to be just minecarts. Almost Slenderman-like. But I don't want to think on that too much because that will freak me out more the next time I hear them
LOL for sure! The sounds could be 1000 different things, some of them do sound more angelic than like wheels…
TNT has historically been used often in mining, and with it, there comes a lot of accidents. Perhaps the railway collapse was the result of prematurely detonated TNT, or too much of it. That could also account for the hissing sound in the music disks. Even considering that the two are likely not related, seeing as TNT is a major factor historically in mining accidents, I think TNT could be a plausible explanation for the events of both.
This is so trueeee
To my knowledge, mojang makes minecraft in a way so that there are things hinting towards a story to get people thinking about the game. This video shoes that works.
Great video btw :D
yeah! thanks so much (: glad you liked it!
Amazing job solving this story, but what if the explosion is from the miner blowing a way out (maybe the papers shifting is the miner trying to use a manual to make a tnt??)
Hmmmm could be?
I also think instead of the mineshaft collapsing, it's instead a creeper blowing up a section of the tracts
That paper wrestling that we hear in the audio is most likely a journal because the year that that disc came out didn't match up with any of the other paper objects. The only paper object that was around whenever disc 11 was released was the journal.
that's a good catch! Never looked that deep into it. I'm glad I read this!
This is a really good analysis. However, what i believe is two separate incidents within those discs occuring.
Disc 11's coal/ore miner is lost in a mineshaft while being stalked by an enderman. While Disc 13's coal/ore miner was thrown into the water by a creeper and survived. Miner 1 lights a torch and opens a guide map. While miner 2 is presumably searching for a way out. Suddenly, Miner 2 heard hissing sounds and when he turned around got thrown into the water while debris rain down by him. Miner 1 obviously hears this and relights his torch and stares at the enderman's eyes. Miner 2 gets out of the water and flees to the surface. Miner 1 runs away from the enderman and nearly makes it to the surface before getting slaughtered by the enderman. The mineshaft collapse happens way before the 2 got split up, due to weight of the minecarts and the strain of the enviorment. Multiple miners go around, unaware of what about is to concure. While they were doing duties and going around. The mineshaft collapses, plumetting multiple victims down below into the dark. Miners 1 and 2 tried to find their own seperate ways out. However there were presumably a couple more survivors judging by the carts left abandoned after they got out and checked to see what the noise was before going to get help or being silently killed by spiders or their re-animated former collegues. But this is just a theory, a game theory-
I like this!!!
There was a Game Theory video about disc 11 and 13 and how there are cuts and you can change them between each other to get a full story. Matpat also mentioned how you can he the faint sound of a bow being shot twice and an arrow hitting stone once, presumably from a skeleton.
thats a good catch! I had no idea.
This one might need to be revisited one more time because of the tricky trails now have 3 new cave sounds
Hey, great vid! I liked the unique take on how everything lines up together.
However, I do have a personal opinion on the more vocal/human sounding audios tie into everything.
At the beginning of the audio tracks, there are many files that sound more like humans breathing/yelling/singing, which can hint more at the soul theories of Minecraft and how they can get trapped in the overworld or nether instead of passing on. Likewise, the caves addition of sculk is almost like a collection of souls, acting like the overworlds soul sand (sounds of breathing/voices happen when blocks are broken) so maybe it can produce some kind of cry that the player hears while in the caves.
The mine cart sounds however fit extremely well with the story you’ve put together here, I just feel that not all sounds come from the same place.
Also, Cave 14.ogg is one that I think comes from the end and the plethora of static sounds that originate from that dimension such as static (mainly in the warped forests that are described to be “where the nether meets the end”) when Endermen speak to each other, and it also happens to mimic some of the sounds from the heart of ender from Minecraft dungeons (which is considered to be canon).
(All proposition of that last bit goes to Xatrix, recommend him a ton for Minecraft lore)
This is really cool! I play Minecraft dungeons but never made that connection at the end. I’m going to have to listen to it back!
i have a theory about the discs. the lone miner was going about his day working in the mines when he heard strange sounds in the distance. this could be the rail collapse. he decided to try and get out just in case something incredibly sinister happened that he doesn’t know about. he then notices some hostile monster in the mines with him, and he barely escapes alive. he gets to a safe place in the mine where he sets up a disc to attempt to document his findings. however, the explosion in the distance takes place, allowing the monster to get to him. he starts running, recording still going, and gets to the exit of the mine. the monster is catching up, so i think the recording cutting off right there could be the miner ditching whatever was recording the sound to distract the monster while he gets out of the mine. now, we all know that the character the player controls is very good at mining based on the fact that they can effortlessly create pickaxes, carve out massive mines within a couple days, and collect dozens of pieces of very valuable ore to use for many different things. my theory is that the lone miner in disc 11 could be the player’s character escaping a near death experience before the player takes control of the character to start playing the game. this could also provide an explanation as to why disc 11 appears shattered, as the recorder that it was in was thrown at the monster to distract it, shattering the disc inside. let me know what you guys think about this theory
I’ve heard similar ideas! It would be neat if we’re the player in the disc!
That actually makes sense! I infact always wondered how the player is so good at creating tools and armors, like you need experience for it, maybe you are indeed right, the disc 11 protagonist could be the player!
This is definitly the best theory I have seen so far
I believe that the music disc incident and minecart rail collapse theory are related, the lost miner(from the music disc theory) was near the rail, lost in the nearby cave, trying to find a way out, but suddenly an explosion, the other miners(riding the minecarts) think that it was an ordinary explosion(since explosions usually take place in mineshafts to clear an area) and didn't think much of it, but the lost miner saw or heard the explosion nearby, he saw that the railway was destroyed, he was trying to warn the other miners, but he saw an enderman, and the enderman started chasing him, he probably tried to warn the others about the collapsed railway through whistles and horns, but the other miners didn't notice. The lost miner probably accidentally stared at the enderman while trying to escape and eventually met his demise. Shortly after, the miners crashed into the collapsed railway.
This could be true! I learn something new every time I read awesome comments like this one!
The cave sounds and disk 11 are connected to old Minecraft, when Herobrine was not deleted
I almost forgot about those old herobrine update logs haha
I'd like to think the meaning of the Cave Sounds is to add a feeling of mystery to Minecraft, by all means, we're not really supposed to know what's making the sounds, because it just makes the game feel more mysterious. That being said, when they were added to the game, there was a story known as "White Eyes" that was arguably the ancestor of the famous "Herobrine" creepypasta. That doesn't mean the sounds relate to him though, but there's probably some theory that makes that claim.
fair fair
Idk but, theres a new disc got updated after the warden update. you should go check and hear it. It maybe theres connection between the 13/11
That disc name is 5
I think I saw that! It’s interesting for sure
This is a great theory video. Although I feel like without disc 5, it remains incomplete since disc 13 and 5 also sync up pretty well. Add on top of that the references to both the Wither and the Warden in disc 5 and you have that miner caught in pretty insane situation.
haha yeah, i haven't even considered disc 5, it was added so much longer after. I can already tell disc 5 is about the warden though. A minecraft dev that made the warden was talking about how he made the warden because he was so interested growing up in the end of disc 11. Pretty much saying the warden was inspired by the disc rather than what is in it...

@@sockaloupe it's very accurate lmao
Herobrine is known for using wolves to scare players, that explains the dog bark at the end of the Disk 11.
oooooo thats interesting!

mojang:
LMAO so true
i have a creepy mod idea for minecraft using these sounds ( involving the mineshafts )
- minecarts with horns on them having a chance to go off when you pass by them ( cave 1 / 2 / 19 ) , you are able to break these minecarts and collect the horns.
- minecarts being seen moving across the rails with no driver ( cave 3 / 6 / 9 / 11 )
- minecarts suddenly moving at you at very fast speeds when you step on the rails, the minecart can kill you ( cave 4 / 13 )
- a skeleton being seen in one of the minecarts ( cave 5 ), the skeleton has a chance to wake up and step out of the minecart ( cave 7 )
- a minecart moving a tiny bit when you get close to it ( cave 8 )
- a miner looking at you before despawning ( cave 10 / 12 )
- a disturbing noise playing, if you look behind you a random monster will be infront of you ( cave 14 )
- a miner on a minecart can be seen going across the rails, if you go to where the minecart is, the miner will be gone but there will be random ores and a pickaxe surrounding the minecart ( cave 15 )
- a minecart seen traveling across the rail before derailing ( cave 16 )
- a miner on a railcart can be seen crashing into a wall, falling off a bridge, or crashing into another minecart, killing the miner ( cave 17 )
- if the mineshaft has a bridge, a chunk of the blocks will suddenly be applied gravity and fall to the ground. this will have a chance of happening whenever you step on the bridge ( cave 18 )
oooo yes! would love to see that!
wow, i came across this very late and i realised that I gave my opinions a few years ago on my theory. i think with the minecart theory, a creeper blew up the area, then chaos ensued
i still kind of think it was mainly a crash, but your theory could also be true (also i still dont fully believe if the sounds are in actual order, but maybe they are idk)
I think there were three survivors, steve, the guy from disc 11 (who dies to an enderman later after escaping the crash), and i think if there was an incident with the track and its collapsed, one miner fell deep into the deep dark (disc 5). so steves really looking at a lot of trauma
i liked the revised video, keep the content up
Thanks so much! Yeah, it’s a loose mystery.
@@sockaloupe I definitely believe it is a creeper, because right around the impact a creeper's face is present in the spectrogram, that feels like it cannot just be randomly placed.
Andddd the discs were originally music he used to listen to with the other miners
So steve destroyed it hoping it would make him feel better but every time he puts it on hes reminded of the incident bc thats his trauma 😳
Ive got a theory this is partially about the cave but what i think is the only reason that your the lnly player (except when you play multiplayer) is because of all the players that lived in the world ended up dying while they were mining. And you were the only one who survived from the accident, which could explain why you have to gather your materials to survive because you lost all your stuff from the accident
this is a good one!
@@sockaloupe thank you
There Is A Theory Of The Cave_14.ogg,which Says Its A Creeper’s Breath,also if you put it in Spectro You Will Get A Creeper’s Face.
Yoooo that’s true! I made a short about it!
my mom in 20 years :what was your chilhood fear? me: caves
LMAO. not snakes or lions or spider… just caves.
You can turn off cave noises by going into settings and into the sounds tab, then find the ambient/environment slider and put it down to zero.
Yeah!
Dude, this is the exact theory I came up with as a kid. Crazy coincidence.
crazy!
I always believed they had nothing to do with each other. I always thought that they were all just ghostly echoes of people that never came out of the caves.
I always assumed the villagers had some relation to it. Like the one's you see are the ones left after 90% of them were wiped out.
I like that idea!
But the real question is: who or what wiped them out
Maybe the Creeper heard in the disks caused the rail way to collapse, thus causing the miner to accidentally look at the endermen and running
Also the splashing sounds could be some dead miners or minecarts hitting the water
hmmmm maybe!
This is all the enderman sounds reversed in a certain order.
“Hello"
“Can you hear me?"
"You messed up"
"Can you..."
"Hear"
“ME”
“CAN"
"YOU"
"HEAR"
"MEEEEE!”
Shocking ain’t it?
And sound 14 could be a creeper about to explode and 15 is the explosion
Or the same thing as I said about the 1:45 mark. It also could be the Minecart track collapsing because of a creeper. The splashing is a survivor and they exit the water
I think that Steve was in the the railroad clasp and it the cave making him remember
Oooo I like that idea!
imma feel weird if its already been said but what if it wasnt the enderman that placed the tnt, what if the miner wasnt lighting a fire, but lighting a fuse? that splashing presumably in the distance is something chasing him, and he is trying to blow up the entrance because of collapse maybe, you can hear what sounds like him walking and im assuming its away from would be tnt, and on his way out of being trapped he ran into an enderman and killed him, the only problem with this to me is that the explosive is faint and the foot steps are not frequent enough to verify he quickly got away from it, my other idea is that the splash might of been another miner also running, got cornered by a creeper and maybe was waiting for them to come to the miner we hear, but it exploded so he started running
That actually makes sense
that actually makes so much sense omg
bro it does
I always imagined Steve being deep in the cave and something running towards him
I didn't even recognize enderman sounds
Yeah! It took a lot of listens for me to understand it haha
I am excited for nether audient sounds
They’re so cool! Probably my favorite ones.
@sockaloupe I combined your idea and @krishivvyas2948's idea while I added my extra thoughts about the sounds and got this:
Cave 1: You blow the whistle on your minecart
Cave 2: Responding horns
Cave 3: Grumbling of wheels on rail
Cave 4: Wind of a minecart going fast
Cave 5: Several whistles of impending doom
Cave 6: Even more grumbling of wheels on rail, multiple minecarts entering
Cave 7: Minecarts continue to move on rail with yours
Cave 8: Even more minecarts wheels, more minecarts entering
Cave 9: Vibration of a minecart passing by, wind whooshes as it moves
Cave 10: Your wheels making a horrible screeching sound when brakes applied, noticing on what’s to come
Cave 11: Your Minecart continues to go fast
Cave 12: Even more minecarts enter the railway
Cave 13: All the minecarts are going so fast, that the wind echoes through the cave
Cave 14: Several minecarts rush down the same path sounding like a glitch, another horn sounds
Cave 15: There are too many minecarts, other miners notice and use emergency brakes to stop a catastrophic event, but it is too late
Cave 16: There are so many minecarts that one got shoved of a bridge, falling down to the floor of the cave
Cave 17: The minecart you are in gets shoved also, you hear wind, then your minecart Slams the cave floor at a high speed, you broke your fall and hear more horns sound afterwards
Cave 18: All the minecarts and miners on the bridge have a combined weight so high, that the bridge collapses, everyone else falls to the cave floor with you
Cave 19: Your ears ring for a second, when they stop, you hear wood creaking from the collapsed bridge and a quiet minecart engine running in the distance before stalling, you are the only survivor, these sounds still traumatize you to this day
i like this a lot! super cool!!!
@@sockaloupe Thanks!
Some cave sounds sometimes play a lower pitched sound, this could possibly mean that there could be different sound with a different meaning to it. No idea if this connects to the theory, but it’s what I think.
It's so consistent in my world that these sounds play almost unerringly near certain structures
Cave 1 = Mineshaft near player
Cave 2 = geode near
Cave 3 = air straight ahead
Cave 4 = huge cave
Cave 5 = huge cave top, long drop below
Cave 6 = aquifer near
Cave 16 = massive water near
ooooo
Here's what i'm thinking. The world of Minecraft is post apocalypse (at least that's what i've heard). If there really was an accident in the mines maybe that was the start of said apocalypse?
I don't know if there's anything to back that up but it's a possibility.
Edit: I mean, it could just be an event that stands by itself and not connected to anything but these are sounds that play literally any time you're in a cave. Not just when you're in a mineshaft. And why would they play so often if they weren't important?
yes! minecraft being post-apocalyptic is a very popular idea. a lot of people think so too!
Cave noise 10 has me the most fucked up
I'm hoping that miner just threw his audio recorder at the Enderman and ran...
LMAO maybe!
I'm scared of I think cave 21, 1, and 5.
Miner on tracks above a ravine meets a creeper, creeper explodes and the miner survives by falling in water then climbing out (disk 13)... cave sounds 14 and up with audio of metal clanking and screeching explain the sound of the left over tracks hanging on connected over the edge of a ravine which had water which the miner fell in (metal clank leftovers after the incident)...before he had sat in the minecraft which led to the fall into water he had whistled for help or sign of life (cave sounds up to 14)... then after settling down in the ravine in a bad condition after the fall he lights up flint and steel and opens his map which in the time the disc was added used to reveal coordinatesthen he was going up and met an ende man which took him before leaving the cave!... i changed the timeline a bit i think this makes sense... :)
Yeah!!!
i think maybe the disks are end of all 19 cave sounds, possibly because only 1 miner survived, ,coughing blood up, lighting the fire to look around. i heard a theory that the miners hit a creeper and it exploded, maybe another creeper was there? the enderman was near the exit so the miner died. the disks are like the sequel, leaving the story off with the last miner being blown up or killed by the enderman
Maybe disc 11 was after the crash and the explosion were the minecarts exploding
could be!
So, with the theory that minecraft is just a dream of a miner, your minecart collapse theory is making a really sad pucture.
Steve got into the collapse with other miners, and is now lying unconscious, dying.
And sounds in the game are his "flashbacks", as his mind cannot just move on after this disaster
Now that would be super freaky
i kinda thought that a creeper exploded the rails to derail the minecart and crash causing the miner to fall in the water in disc-13 maybe the enderman from disc 11 placed a tnt block next to redstone ore to set off and explode and the other miner in disc 11 that made sense was the miner running from something maybe from the minecart crash started using the flint and steel to luminate his surroundings and the fire got put out so he ignite it again just to see an enderman and he accidentally looked into it's eyes and started running before he can fully make it out in the surface maybe to a village in broad daylight just to look back and get killed by the enderman.
also maybe the miner was the same miner that survived the minecart crash to run away from something chasing him maybe the same enderman
personally for me what they could've avoided letting this happen is to either have a security force in the mines making sure to prevent something bad that is going to happened or have iron golems in the mineshafts to prevent this incident incase of an emergency or the miners should have a weapon for self-defense incase like a iron sword or an axe along with a crossbow or just a bow at least that's what i think they should've have before going to the mines in the first place
and the cave sounds for me atleast was the aftermath of the incident was the remnants of the crash of the minecart or ghosts of the miners that passed away haunting the mineshafts and the caves.
that's what i visioned.
if minecraft would add maybe a video player we would've seen footage of the incident maybe there would be disk 17 of someone traversing in the caves but this time armed with a weapon
I think it’s much simpler than this
Since Minecraft has a lot of kids they just put these scary things in to just scare them into doing something
True! It is just fun to theorize (:
Maybe 2 of the miners managed to break before they fell into the collapsed pit of the tragedy. One of them which could have been the miner from the disks could have been trying to look for an escape out of the mineshaft, which ultimately died to the enderman. The coughing we hear could also be because of his condition from being in the caves while trying to find an exit. And the other could have taken a different way and had lost everything and that person could have became the player. That could explain why we hear these sounds because of the trauma the player experienced from that event and could be hallucinations.
Yeah! True!
Wait 19 disks and 19 cave sounds 🧐
@@mc21756 why the sad face ?
Whenever i hear a cave sound i just imagine a dumbass zombie tripping over a minecart and dropping it off a cliff
LMAOOO you're brave
There’s new cave sounds in the game now, will this theory be updated again?
probably not anytime soon
@@sockaloupe oh okay
@@sockaloupecave sound 20, 21, 22, and 23 are added in the game. Maybe the theory could be switched up
Cave sounds Scares the sh*t out of me
yeah! they're super scary...
18:32 okay so the next shot gives away the idea. i think there was a lava source nearby, and since this happened in a mineshaft, the wood set fire by proxy, which then lit the TNT. this type of stuff happens all the time before you even arrive at the mineshaft in game, unless you turn off the fire spread rule via commands. this isn't necessarily my take on the theory, but my point is that it's plausible.
Yeah this makes sense!!
Not the MrBallen music! 😂
@@desirenova WHO IS MR BALLEN AND WHAT MUSIC I DONT GET IT
I always found the train whistle sound to be the scariest
indeed
The Crash Theory is what I believe is true. Tbh, that's how I think Herobrine was born, a crash that happened years ago.
And herobrine is the ghost of the miner that died in the crash
i can believe it!
oooo this is a bold take but is a really cool thought! I like this idea
One of these cave sounds looks cool when put into the spectrogram.
I believe its sound 14! Super cool!
Fyi running cave14 through a spectrogram draws a creeper face
Yes!! So cool
here is a theory: disc 13 is supposed to be caves sounds i think, and the caves sounds were the main sounds in the minecart travesty. to play the proper miner story, you need 11 and 13, so i think the miner was happening at the same time as the minecart, just further away. the miner couldve escaped from the minecart, but was injured, but when trying to escape outside and get medical help, he looked at an enderman and got murdered by it
i like this idea!
@@sockaloupe here's a part two that includes disc 5: instead of getting murdered, the miner continued on to his journey. but he's still being chased, he's running through this caved, and there's light at the end! after passing some gravel, he finds an occupied ancient city with people. that's where it ends just put the rest of disc 5 in there
My theory is that cave sounds mostly occur when the player enters a room or dimension that the game thinks that the player isn't fully or properly prepared for.
Could be!
The thing chasing the miner was probably…
JOE MAMA
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
My theory:
railwaycollapse
miner survives the collapse and tries to escape
he finds a spot
miner tries to find exit throught a map
BOOOM
he tries to lit up the area again
enderman in the distance running
he finds the exit and then tries to run away
he gets killed by an enderman
the end
I like this! this is pretty much exactly how I view it.
Really cool vid, deserves more views
Thanks so much (:
music disc 11 and 13 are scary by themselves but ad music disc 5 or what ever the name of that one you can make with disc fragments
Yeah!
Every time I hear caves sounds I want to uninstall Minecraft and never touch it again
how cave sounds work is due to player mood, i think the sounds steve or the player have are just audio halucinations oif things your player has experienced in the past. the Dark, triggers those frights. i like to also think the music 11 is so horridly hated by everyone, so they just chuck it out. it may seem small and maybe funny. but to the player its like playing a recording of a friend dying. and you cant stand to hear it. Steve is maybe a PTSD Riddled man, who can only do one thing. be the last man on earth to make his mark on the world.
I like this idea! I always wondered if it could be like a PTSD thing!
Cave sound 14's spectrogram is literally a creeper face and it sounds very digital, so I don't think that has any meaning/importance to the theory.
could be! I've seen the spectogram stuff, it is so freaking cool...
Okay but like what if He was a survivor of the minecart incident And runs away a little Trying to get distance from the horrific aftermath to recollect himself He lights a fire opens his book trying to find where he is in the cave system to where the nearest exit is He begins to cough due to having black lung disease and all the dust that was kicked from the collapse But he's not the only person who survived and the other person encounters a creeper causing the explosion in the distance The explosion opened up a different pathway letting in an Enderman It sounds like someone blew out the campfire and He likes it again He looks in that direction making eye contact with the enderman runs for his life. Nearly making it out and then death.
I like this idea!
what if the miner in the disc theory is the only survivor of the minecart theory and i do respect ur opinion that they are not conected bcs every human has own opinions
I understand! It could be the same person, just really hard to find a solid connection though.
my theory: maybe the second explosion could be an minecart that was packed with tnt for mining reasons crashes and a torch falls inside it exploding it and the person in disc 11 could have survived both explosions and its passing through the fumes of the explosion trying to get out of the cave with his map or maybe looking at an anotation on a book and finds and an strange creature (could be an endermen or another mob) and tries to outrun it but maybe stumbles and falls and gets killed thats why the disc 11 is broken
it very well could be!
Maybe the miner was in a dark room in a mine dedicated to storing tnt and then he lit his flint and steal Ignited the tnt and he went in water then you hear the explosion then he exits the water and the tnt musta hurt a enderman in the other room causing the enderman to give chase to the man leading to his demise. Also it mighta not been him at the surface you know how abandoned mines in minecraft have that spot with the dirt thats in it like a giant room it mighta been him going into there.
hmmmm maybe!
I hear the Minecraft cave sounds but i don't go in the caves my character would be outside or be in a building that i made in Minecraft it happens when i play on my Xbox and they play a lot of times except when i play Minecraft on the PS4 it's pretty rare to hear them
Yeah, they play based on an algorithm so there’s a chance you just won’t hear them as much.
@@sockaloupe huh thanks for the information
theory what if the other miners used tnt and that was the explosion? it's likely that the guy who was in disc 11/13 did not know about the tnt and was just a player looking at a map or that the miners were attacked by mobs and they used tnt to thin them out.
Oooo that could be it!
I think the rail collapse is more accurate but what if a miner out of a cart tending to buisiness/ mining saw a creeper and ran but the creeper detonated just out of reach of the guy and messed up a bridge and he was running to warn the miners in a mine cart hence the bells/ brakes
True!
what i think cave sounds are made
1.minecraft whistle
2.ghost humming when sees someone
3.minecart traveling and broken whistle
4.roar from nowhere?!
5.bell being ringed
6.furnace minecart sound
7. random gong
8.blaze in a cave
9.???
10.screeching
11.minecart passing by
12.???
13.same as cave sound 10
14.creeper becuz spectrogram
15.???
16.minecart tumbeling
17.minecart crash
18.same as cave sound 16
19. endermen?!?!?!?!
yes! i love this
My favorite Minecraft theory ever
Thanks (:
I think the silly sound at the end of cave 19 is the creature that caused the rail to collapse, idk tho
It could be! I never thought about that...
Can I say that Minecraft becomes a horror game when you listen to the cave sounds and music disc 11 and 13
Yeah!!!
i hate those cave noises they always scare me so bad T_T
LOL I turn them off!!!
LOL maybe i should start doing the same thing, whenever i play minecraft i always feel like i'm being watched. especially in a cave even during peaceful mode@@sockaloupe
haha true
Awesome video!!!
Thanks!!!
@@sockaloupe any time :) also sorry I wasn't around for a while
I think that the dirt sounds isnt footsteps. Its the last try from the player to block the path between him and whats chasing him. Hes placing the dirt blocks
If only mojang could Tell us what this all mean.
oooo I like this idea! somehow never seven though about that. I just think the way the audio of the blocks change makes it seem like the air is changing, like the player is acending.
@@sockaloupe i played Minecraft and noticed that the sound on the disc is the same as when you place blocks. Or maybe destroy them? But walking is muffled.
@@matisseboyer1686 The sounds when you place dirt used to also be the footstep sounds.
POV: You’re home alone at night and you hear these sounds as you descend into the dark basement
NOOOO
