I bet no one noticed this before: The lines are written in either teal or green. Steve wears teal, and Alex wears green. They are also the choosable characters in Minecraft. Does this mean that Steve and Alex are the ones talking in the credits? If they are, it only means one thing: They are self-aware. In other words... *They know what exactly is going on.*
Really? It did the opposite for me. And I have actually thought about this before, how we are very similar to the universe, and how we might even be it. It makes me feel kinda powerful actually. Not in a super power kind of way, idk what to describe it as exactly. Its like when you look at the stars and you just feel whole.
Holy frick. YES THATS IMPORTANT!!!!! MAYBE THERE WAS MORE TO THE MESSAGE BUT THEN THE PLAYER LIKE, WOKE UP!!!! OR MAYBE IM LOOKING TO MUCH INTO THIS AND IT WAS JUST A TYPO!!!! BUT HEY!!! THATS JUST A THEORY!!!! A GAME THEORY!!!!
What most people forget about is the absolutely incredible music that was written for the credits. It starts off like normal Minecraft like sounding music, but then it evolves into a motivational and empowering piece that is highly underrated.
Its odd how no one really liked the ending, It made me feel so good about myself and almost even made me cry. Edit : Wow i didnt expect to get so many people to comment on this i thought it would just be ignored.
João Felipe Corrêa da Silva Almost perfect. We’re still missing the long awaited cave update and not just some wack update with extra creepy ominous noises
I never had the time to read it because I usually played with my friend and didn't want to bother them but next time, I will. Maybe everyone refuses to believe, to understand. They are mad because they are foolish and don't care or reject the words they say. Some are just ignorant and confused.
And the universe said I love you. And the universe said you have played the game well. And the universe said everything you need is within you. And the universe said you are stronger than you know. And the universe said you are the daylight. And the universe said you are the night. And the universe said the darkness you fight is within you. And the universe said the light you seek is within you. And the universe said you are not alone. And the universe said you are not separate from every other thing. And the universe said you are the universe tasting itself, talking to itself, reading its own code. And the universe said I love you because you are love. This part of the message is amazing and anyone who shits on the end message do not talk to me
the entire text is the most beutiful thing i have ever read, and its from a game. just reminding you that you are the creator, you can think build create destroy at your will, you're in charge, and everything you need to do this is within you. i can't express how great that segment was.
My theory : the scrambled words are endermen language because the in mats video he explains how the endermen are us but stuck in the end so when they say "they arent that advanced yet for that language" they mean endermen language
Personally, I think it's the God figures are trying to put a sense of purpose in the player. I read the whole thing, word for word, and I had the revelation long before reading it, but that we are born with the ability to create good things "beyond the screen". And saying "Wake up" was to make the dream analogy more poetic, basically saying now that this dream (minecraft) in over we can now go peruse a bigger, better, more prosperous one. To me it's a hopeful message if we try to understand the full message.
But then if you dream of a dream where you are dreaming that you dream about playing minecraft whilst watching a dream video and practicing your dream boat clutch and then you wake up and find out about a new dream manhunt video where you watch dream be good at minecraft but then you realise it is another dream where your dreaming about your drrams

Seeing that this video was from the beginning of 2016 genuinely makes me feel old. It's also nice to see Matpat being much more juvenile in this video than his newer ones.
I put it down to him having a son now, naturally your language and humour changes ti more kid friendly. I did this and didn't even realise when I had my girls. Also Matts theories used to be wayyy scarier and targeted. to an adult audience. Another factor is sponsors usually don't like crude language and humour as it becomes part of the brand in a sponsored video and matt deffo gets more sponsors and brand deals in 2024 than he did back in the theory channels early days
end poem:I see the player you mean. PLAYERNAME? Yes. Take care. It has reached a higher level now. It can read our thoughts. That doesn't matter. It thinks we are part of the game. I like this player. It played well. It did not give up. It is reading our thoughts as though they were words on a screen. That is how it chooses to imagine many things, when it is deep in the dream of a game. Words make a wonderful interface. Very flexible. And less terrifying than staring at the reality behind the screen. They used to hear voices. Before players could read. Back in the days when those who did not play called the players witches, and warlocks. And players dreamed they flew through the air, on sticks powered by demons. What did this player dream? This player dreamed of sunlight and trees. Of fire and water. It dreamed it created. And it dreamed it destroyed. It dreamed it hunted, and was hunted. It dreamed of shelter. Hah, the original interface. A million years old, and it still works. But what true structure did this player create, in the reality behind the screen? It worked, with a million others, to sculpt a true world in a fold of the [scrambled], and created a [scrambled] for [scrambled], in the [scrambled]. It cannot read that thought. No. It has not yet achieved the highest level. That, it must achieve in the long dream of life, not the short dream of a game. Does it know that we love it? That the universe is kind? Sometimes, through the noise of its thoughts, it hears the universe, yes. But there are times it is sad, in the long dream. It creates worlds that have no summer, and it shivers under a black sun, and it takes its sad creation for reality. To cure it of sorrow would destroy it. The sorrow is part of its own private task. We cannot interfere. Sometimes when they are deep in dreams, I want to tell them, they are building true worlds in reality. Sometimes I want to tell them of their importance to the universe. Sometimes, when they have not made a true connection in a while, I want to help them to speak the word they fear. It reads our thoughts. Sometimes I do not care. Sometimes I wish to tell them, this world you take for truth is merely [scrambled] and [scrambled], I wish to tell them that they are [scrambled] in the [scrambled]. They see so little of reality, in their long dream. And yet they play the game. But it would be so easy to tell them... Too strong for this dream. To tell them how to live is to prevent them living. I will not tell the player how to live. The player is growing restless. I will tell the player a story. But not the truth. No. A story that contains the truth safely, in a cage of words. Not the naked truth that can burn over any distance. Give it a body, again. Yes. Player... Use its name. PLAYERNAME. Player of games. Good. Take a breath, now. Take another. Feel air in your lungs. Let your limbs return. Yes, move your fingers. Have a body again, under gravity, in air. Respawn in the long dream. There you are. Your body touching the universe again at every point, as though you were separate things. As though we were separate things. Who are we? Once we were called the spirit of the mountain. Father sun, mother moon. Ancestral spirits, animal spirits. Jinn. Ghosts. The green man. Then gods, demons. Angels. Poltergeists. Aliens, extraterrestrials. Leptons, quarks. The words change. We do not change. We are the universe. We are everything you think isn't you. You are looking at us now, through your skin and your eyes. And why does the universe touch your skin, and throw light on you? To see you, player. To know you. And to be known. I shall tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a player. The player was you, PLAYERNAME. Sometimes it thought itself human, on the thin crust of a spinning globe of molten rock. The ball of molten rock circled a ball of blazing gas that was three hundred and thirty thousand times more massive than it. They were so far apart that light took eight minutes to cross the gap. The light was information from a star, and it could burn your skin from a hundred and fifty million kilometres away. Sometimes the player dreamed it was a miner, on the surface of a world that was flat, and infinite. The sun was a square of white. The days were short; there was much to do; and death was a temporary inconvenience. Sometimes the player dreamed it was lost in a story. Sometimes the player dreamed it was other things, in other places. Sometimes these dreams were disturbing. Sometimes very beautiful indeed. Sometimes the player woke from one dream into another, then woke from that into a third. Sometimes the player dreamed it watched words on a screen. Let's go back. The atoms of the player were scattered in the grass, in the rivers, in the air, in the ground. A woman gathered the atoms; she drank and ate and inhaled; and the woman assembled the player, in her body. And the player awoke, from the warm, dark world of its mother's body, into the long dream. And the player was a new story, never told before, written in letters of DNA. And the player was a new program, never run before, generated by a sourcecode a billion years old. And the player was a new human, never alive before, made from nothing but milk and love. You are the player. The story. The program. The human. Made from nothing but milk and love. Let's go further back. The seven billion billion billion atoms of the player's body were created, long before this game, in the heart of a star. So the player, too, is information from a star. And the player moves through a story, which is a forest of information planted by a man called Julian, on a flat, infinite world created by a man called Markus, that exists inside a small, private world created by the player, who inhabits a universe created by... Shush. Sometimes the player created a small, private world that was soft and warm and simple. Sometimes hard, and cold, and complicated. Sometimes it built a model of the universe in its head; flecks of energy, moving through vast empty spaces. Sometimes it called those flecks "electrons" and "protons". Sometimes it called them "planets" and "stars". Sometimes it believed it was in a universe that was made of energy that was made of offs and ons; zeros and ones; lines of code. Sometimes it believed it was playing a game. Sometimes it believed it was reading words on a screen. You are the player, reading words... Shush... Sometimes the player read lines of code on a screen. Decoded them into words; decoded words into meaning; decoded meaning into feelings, emotions, theories, ideas, and the player started to breathe faster and deeper and realised it was alive, it was alive, those thousand deaths had not been real, the player was alive You. You. You are alive. and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the sunlight that came through the shuffling leaves of the summer trees and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the light that fell from the crisp night sky of winter, where a fleck of light in the corner of the player's eye might be a star a million times as massive as the sun, boiling its planets to plasma in order to be visible for a moment to the player, walking home at the far side of the universe, suddenly smelling food, almost at the familiar door, about to dream again and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the zeros and ones, through the electricity of the world, through the scrolling words on a screen at the end of a dream and the universe said I love you and the universe said you have played the game well and the universe said everything you need is within you and the universe said you are stronger than you know and the universe said you are the daylight and the universe said you are the night and the universe said the darkness you fight is within you and the universe said the light you seek is within you and the universe said you are not alone and the universe said you are not separate from every other thing and the universe said you are the universe tasting itself, talking to itself, reading its own code and the universe said I love you because you are love. And the game was over and the player woke up from the dream. And the player began a new dream. And the player dreamed again, dreamed better. And the player was the universe. And the player was love. You are the player. Wake up.
I really don’t know what it is with some people; For me, that ending poem for Minecraft, in a strange way, is one of the best things I’ve ever read. In fact, I’m inclined to believe that that conversation/poem has roots in existentialism and that all it may really be saying is that, given how smart we humans are and how much smarter we will inevitably become in the future, whether or not we realize it, we are all more powerful than we know. In general, we humans are lucky enough to have been made of just the right elements and ingredients to be able to exist at all; however, on top of that, we have the amazing abilities of being able to utilize our surroundings and create... To be able to care about things at all... To be able to love things... To be able to recognize that we exist within a universe... Also, think about it: Billions and billions of years ago, we humans didn’t exist... and now we’re here - not just as human beings, but as beings that spawned from the universe itself... Beings that just so happen to inhabit this planet, continuously advancing as a species that is bound to end up leaving and expanding beyond Earth, and, at some point, actively utilize and create with whatever else the universe has to offer, such as other planets and even the stars themselves. Lastly, along with the poem mentioning how life is a “long dream” and Minecraft is a “short dream”... just like the theory explains in this video, I really would like to think that that’s implying that playing video games, in general, is not really a waste of time and that they can be a valid alternative for us to try and understand our place in this world, or even this universe, from very different perspectives. So, you could say that that conversation that serves as the “ending” for Minecraft provides some much needed perspective and context for a game that, basically, has you playing a simplified version of real life, if you exclude the fictional monsters. Overall, I really wish many other people would realize that there truly is even a little bit of meaning to this game we call “Minecraft”; That, essentially, it’s part of our human nature to create... To bring things into existence via utilizing nature itself. Because we can. Because, in a strange way, it’s almost as if the universe made us this way on purpose... Anyway, I enjoyed this video - very thought-provoking. :) In fact, it’s so thought-provoking that I very much believe most of what’s said in this video are factual statements about this near-philosophical “ending” to Minecraft. To me, it’s not just a theory; I don’t think there’s currently any other video on RUclips that could have explained this ending any better.
When there is a picture of Dr Strange when we talk about the End of a Game “You’re about three years too early” Edit: holy frick that’s a lot of likes.
It's more like Everyone: Minecraft died I'm just gonna play fortnite _A few years pass and fortnite slowly dies_ Minecraft: *Wakes up from its slumber* You couldn't live with your own failure and where did that bring you, back to me Everyone: *Plays minecraft again for the fun and Nostalgia*
Mat- " it's 2016! This year will be better!" Me from the future- " welp let's just say somebody started a game of jumanji and didn't finish hehe.... 😬"
The Universe is everything you want it to be! I love the game and my friends are gonna do this together! You are a friend too everyone is! But the people who pull us down to be nothing. They are the real demons or monsters in the world
I want subs Huehuehue QAQ I know right. Cried the first time I read it. Had to steal the controller of my brother so I could read it properly...and again
When i first red the ending, i thought it was the most beautiful thing i had ever red. I thought it was the gods of the game telling me that i had a reason to live, and that i was worth it. I thought it was talking about the meaning of life. And i still do. I woke up. I was right.

I think you have it confused with Fortnite. Jokes aside, Minecraft is starting to pick up in popularity again, now that it's been around long enough to be considered a "classic."
Shadow Libra me and my mates don't play it religiously but when we are bored and are done with whatever game we played we say "eh wat about minecraft" and we usually have a good time (especially the mini games)
"...let's start out with a message of hope..." Ah, 2016 Matpat was so optimistic, so happy for 2016. Lol, 2016 crashed and burned, and took the world with it.
Where's this doom and gloom coming from... or are you just too stressed to think farther into the future than just a couple years? First of all, policy changes take years to make a visible impact on the economy, and we can reverse that damage very fast depending the policies we put in place after he's gone... as long as we convince enough people to NOT vote him in again, we're going to be fine.

The queen is dead
this video was made EIGHT YEARS AGO what. its 2024 but still feels like 2020
You could say.. he was from that FUTURE but thats just a THEORY
Seeing that this video was from the beginning of 2016 genuinely makes me feel old. It's also nice to see Matpat being much more juvenile in this video than his newer ones.
I put it down to him having a son now, naturally your language and humour changes ti more kid friendly. I did this and didn't even realise when I had my girls. Also Matts theories used to be wayyy scarier and targeted. to an adult audience. Another factor is sponsors usually don't like crude language and humour as it becomes part of the brand in a sponsored video and matt deffo gets more sponsors and brand deals in 2024 than he did back in the theory channels early days
“But this year... this year is going to be different. It’s 2016!”
Boy, that aged well.
Ian_Choi 20261121 harambe.... 😢🤧

Man, I think I actually learned something about myself, thanks MatPat!
*But hey, that's just a theory*
A Game Theory!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNND cut.
This made me proud of myself and the world as a whole. Jewish guy here
And... Not a true since a theory LMAOOOOOOO
end poem:I see the player you mean.
PLAYERNAME?
Yes. Take care. It has reached a higher level now. It can read our thoughts.
That doesn't matter. It thinks we are part of the game.
I like this player. It played well. It did not give up.
It is reading our thoughts as though they were words on a screen.
That is how it chooses to imagine many things, when it is deep in the dream of a game.
Words make a wonderful interface. Very flexible. And less terrifying than staring at the reality behind the screen.
They used to hear voices. Before players could read. Back in the days when those who did not play called the players witches, and warlocks. And players dreamed they flew through the air, on sticks powered by demons.
What did this player dream?
This player dreamed of sunlight and trees. Of fire and water. It dreamed it created. And it dreamed it destroyed. It dreamed it hunted, and was hunted. It dreamed of shelter.
Hah, the original interface. A million years old, and it still works. But what true structure did this player create, in the reality behind the screen?
It worked, with a million others, to sculpt a true world in a fold of the [scrambled], and created a [scrambled] for [scrambled], in the [scrambled].
It cannot read that thought.
No. It has not yet achieved the highest level. That, it must achieve in the long dream of life, not the short dream of a game.
Does it know that we love it? That the universe is kind?
Sometimes, through the noise of its thoughts, it hears the universe, yes.
But there are times it is sad, in the long dream. It creates worlds that have no summer, and it shivers under a black sun, and it takes its sad creation for reality.
To cure it of sorrow would destroy it. The sorrow is part of its own private task. We cannot interfere.
Sometimes when they are deep in dreams, I want to tell them, they are building true worlds in reality. Sometimes I want to tell them of their importance to the universe. Sometimes, when they have not made a true connection in a while, I want to help them to speak the word they fear.
It reads our thoughts.
Sometimes I do not care. Sometimes I wish to tell them, this world you take for truth is merely [scrambled] and [scrambled], I wish to tell them that they are [scrambled] in the [scrambled]. They see so little of reality, in their long dream.
And yet they play the game.
But it would be so easy to tell them...
Too strong for this dream. To tell them how to live is to prevent them living.
I will not tell the player how to live.
The player is growing restless.
I will tell the player a story.
But not the truth.
No. A story that contains the truth safely, in a cage of words. Not the naked truth that can burn over any distance.
Give it a body, again.
Yes. Player...
Use its name.
PLAYERNAME. Player of games.
Good.
Take a breath, now. Take another. Feel air in your lungs. Let your limbs return. Yes, move your fingers. Have a body again, under gravity, in air. Respawn in the long dream. There you are. Your body touching the universe again at every point, as though you were separate things. As though we were separate things.
Who are we? Once we were called the spirit of the mountain. Father sun, mother moon. Ancestral spirits, animal spirits. Jinn. Ghosts. The green man. Then gods, demons. Angels. Poltergeists. Aliens, extraterrestrials. Leptons, quarks. The words change. We do not change.
We are the universe. We are everything you think isn't you. You are looking at us now, through your skin and your eyes. And why does the universe touch your skin, and throw light on you? To see you, player. To know you. And to be known. I shall tell you a story.
Once upon a time, there was a player.
The player was you, PLAYERNAME.
Sometimes it thought itself human, on the thin crust of a spinning globe of molten rock. The ball of molten rock circled a ball of blazing gas that was three hundred and thirty thousand times more massive than it. They were so far apart that light took eight minutes to cross the gap. The light was information from a star, and it could burn your skin from a hundred and fifty million kilometres away.
Sometimes the player dreamed it was a miner, on the surface of a world that was flat, and infinite. The sun was a square of white. The days were short; there was much to do; and death was a temporary inconvenience.
Sometimes the player dreamed it was lost in a story.
Sometimes the player dreamed it was other things, in other places. Sometimes these dreams were disturbing. Sometimes very beautiful indeed. Sometimes the player woke from one dream into another, then woke from that into a third.
Sometimes the player dreamed it watched words on a screen.
Let's go back.
The atoms of the player were scattered in the grass, in the rivers, in the air, in the ground. A woman gathered the atoms; she drank and ate and inhaled; and the woman assembled the player, in her body.
And the player awoke, from the warm, dark world of its mother's body, into the long dream.
And the player was a new story, never told before, written in letters of DNA. And the player was a new program, never run before, generated by a sourcecode a billion years old. And the player was a new human, never alive before, made from nothing but milk and love.
You are the player. The story. The program. The human. Made from nothing but milk and love.
Let's go further back.
The seven billion billion billion atoms of the player's body were created, long before this game, in the heart of a star. So the player, too, is information from a star. And the player moves through a story, which is a forest of information planted by a man called Julian, on a flat, infinite world created by a man called Markus, that exists inside a small, private world created by the player, who inhabits a universe created by...
Shush. Sometimes the player created a small, private world that was soft and warm and simple. Sometimes hard, and cold, and complicated. Sometimes it built a model of the universe in its head; flecks of energy, moving through vast empty spaces. Sometimes it called those flecks "electrons" and "protons".
Sometimes it called them "planets" and "stars".
Sometimes it believed it was in a universe that was made of energy that was made of offs and ons; zeros and ones; lines of code. Sometimes it believed it was playing a game. Sometimes it believed it was reading words on a screen.
You are the player, reading words...
Shush... Sometimes the player read lines of code on a screen. Decoded them into words; decoded words into meaning; decoded meaning into feelings, emotions, theories, ideas, and the player started to breathe faster and deeper and realised it was alive, it was alive, those thousand deaths had not been real, the player was alive
You. You. You are alive.
and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the sunlight that came through the shuffling leaves of the summer trees
and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the light that fell from the crisp night sky of winter, where a fleck of light in the corner of the player's eye might be a star a million times as massive as the sun, boiling its planets to plasma in order to be visible for a moment to the player, walking home at the far side of the universe, suddenly smelling food, almost at the familiar door, about to dream again
and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the zeros and ones, through the electricity of the world, through the scrolling words on a screen at the end of a dream
and the universe said I love you
and the universe said you have played the game well
and the universe said everything you need is within you
and the universe said you are stronger than you know
and the universe said you are the daylight
and the universe said you are the night
and the universe said the darkness you fight is within you
and the universe said the light you seek is within you
and the universe said you are not alone
and the universe said you are not separate from every other thing
and the universe said you are the universe tasting itself, talking to itself, reading its own code
and the universe said I love you because you are love.
And the game was over and the player woke up from the dream. And the player began a new dream. And the player dreamed again, dreamed better. And the player was the universe. And the player was love.
You are the player.
Wake up.
Oh wow
This makes me think about the meaning of life..
What a mad lad!

I really don’t know what it is with some people;
For me, that ending poem for Minecraft, in a strange way, is one of the best things I’ve ever read.
In fact, I’m inclined to believe that that conversation/poem has roots in existentialism and that all it may really be saying is that, given how smart we humans are and how much smarter we will inevitably become in the future, whether or not we realize it, we are all more powerful than we know.
In general, we humans are lucky enough to have been made of just the right elements and ingredients to be able to exist at all; however, on top of that, we have the amazing abilities of being able to utilize our surroundings and create...
To be able to care about things at all...
To be able to love things...
To be able to recognize that we exist within a universe...
Also, think about it:
Billions and billions of years ago, we humans didn’t exist... and now we’re here - not just as human beings, but as beings that spawned from the universe itself...
Beings that just so happen to inhabit this planet, continuously advancing as a species that is bound to end up leaving and expanding beyond Earth, and, at some point, actively utilize and create with whatever else the universe has to offer, such as other planets and even the stars themselves.
Lastly, along with the poem mentioning how life is a “long dream” and Minecraft is a “short dream”... just like the theory explains in this video, I really would like to think that that’s implying that playing video games, in general, is not really a waste of time and that they can be a valid alternative for us to try and understand our place in this world, or even this universe, from very different perspectives.
So, you could say that that conversation that serves as the “ending” for Minecraft provides some much needed perspective and context for a game that, basically, has you playing a simplified version of real life, if you exclude the fictional monsters.
Overall, I really wish many other people would realize that there truly is even a little bit of meaning to this game we call “Minecraft”;
That, essentially, it’s part of our human nature to create... To bring things into existence via utilizing nature itself.
Because we can.
Because, in a strange way, it’s almost as if the universe made us this way on purpose...
Anyway, I enjoyed this video - very thought-provoking. :)
In fact, it’s so thought-provoking that I very much believe most of what’s said in this video are factual statements about this near-philosophical “ending” to Minecraft.
To me, it’s not just a theory;
I don’t think there’s currently any other video on RUclips that could have explained this ending any better.

I think its a metaphory: you now know your true power and so you can do anything.
When i first red the ending, i thought it was the most beautiful thing i had ever red. I thought it was the gods of the game telling me that i had a reason to live, and that i was worth it. I thought it was talking about the meaning of life. And i still do. I woke up.
I was right.
It was beautiful...
