  1. DISCLAIMER: I cannot and will not share any download links to leaked source code or prototype builds, as that would be copyright infringement. This video is made for journalistic and educational purposes, as a fan of Minecraft and Mojang's work, to discuss a significant event in gaming history.

    i'm being a good boy mojang i promise

    Fixes:
    The tutorial world prototype found in the leak is actually closer to the released TU0 tutorial world. There's still some big differences, but you can find the same village, small fort, and church that we saw in the prototype.

  2. 6:05 hey just wanted to point out that im pretty sure pocket edition aka bedrock had multiplayer and servers way before update aquatic and Xbox accounts were supported before that too I think you might be confusing it with the date the legacy console editions like Xbox one and Switch were sadly discontinued

  3. the instant you said "floating sky islands" and instead showed a picture of skyblock i immediately clicked off 😭
    i cannot trust that any information from this video is correct

  4. i think there are at least 150gb of leaked files. cool stuff 😀
    i've been playing LCE since it got leaked and it's so cool joining SMPs and just kinda feeling that nostalgia

  5. While im glad all this leaked its kinda annoying it took a petty fight to do it. People if you got rare software get it out there. Hell with the degradation of drives in alot of cases if you dont get it out there it's gone forever. The only way to keep software truly alive is to copy and paste everywhere.

  6. 1:14 actually there's a antvenom video about this scrapped sky dimension, cause the code its still inside the game in the early beta versions, theres a video of antvenom using a mod of minecraft beta 1.8.1 through a mod or plugin that allows to access this scrapped dimension/terrain generation

  7. we should call this leaks of minecraft, we should call this the Minecraft gigaleak, cause there was Nintendo gigaleak Pokemon gigaleak, now a big leak of minecraft stuff, so Minecraft gigaleak its a cool name

  8. I'm pretty sure Minecraft legends is actually runs on bedrocks engine, as behind the scenes footage shows devs opening the bedrock chat screen to enter commands

  9. Why do we get so excited about recording 100 videos at once, but when it comes to sharing links, we can't do it because they're worried about (copyright infringement)? Then why do you even make these videos, just to suck the content and make money?

  10. 0:29 Why are these guys always such goobers, reminds me of how the first known prototype build of Xbox 360 Edition was tampered with and turned into "Minecraft Reloaded" with modded textures for absolutely no reason

  11. It's not true that the floating islands/sky dimension was lost at all, because you can access it yourself using the Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3 (or was it 2?) server, the version RIGHT before the End was added. The sky dimension was enabled accidentally although a little tricky to access, and you can fully play on it. I'm really confused why so many people are talking about this as if it was completely unknown
