Minecraft’s Void Has A Hidden Secret…

On the bottom of the overworld and Nether is a large layer of bedrock, preventing players from falling into the infinite void below. In spectator or creative mode, it’s possible to fly beneath the world and look up at the bedrock from beneath. I was doing this a couple of weeks ago, and I discovered something startling. The bedrock pattern appear to be looking back at me. If you look carefully, the textures between bedrock blocks create the illusion of skulls in the pattern. If we take a closer look, it’s extremely similar to a wither skull. This is quite strange. So, is it intentional? Well, there are a few things to consider. First, it may simply be a case of paridolia. The human brain is extremely good at sensing patterns, especially faces, even if there is no intended pattern. A famous example of this is the satellite picture from a Martian surface known as the face on Mars. This caused widespread speculation of an extraterrestrial intelligence. A second photograph from later shows that it was just a trick of the lighting. So, it could be possible that these bedrock skulls are the same type of a thing. On the other hand, there’s evidence to suggest that this may not be so simple. Stone and bedrock are very closely related textures, and increasing the contrast of stone can make it look like bedrock. However, if we set up stone and do the necessary color changes, the skulls are mysteriously absent. So, this means that the bedrock texture is set up in a different tiling pattern, which results in the faces. We can’t deny how similar it is to the wither skull. At what point is it still a coincidence?

  1. FINALLY! I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT SEES IT! there are so many faces on bedrock blocks. I saw at least 3 faces on a 2 by 2 block placement of bedrock blocks

  2. Um, you got that wrong about the face on mars. NASA got caught doctoring those photos, essentially, by "de-ressing" them and saying it was a clearer picture. People fought them in court over that, and NASA got called out in discovery. And that was only one out of a couple hundred times NASA has caught doing image manipulation.
    Just a heads up.

  3. I’ve answered this before, it really is just pareidolia resulting from two halves of the bedrock texture lining up coincidentally. If you look even closer, you can see more “incomplete skulls” on other regions of the adjoining bedrock blocks texture.
