A Minecraft Redditor recently showcased how scary the older beta versions of the game looked. Over the years, Mojang has added a lot of features to its main sandbox title, both scary and adorable. However, for some reason, the old basic versions of the game still have their charm intact, especially when it comes to giving players jumpscares.
Also, many connect those older versions to nostalgia, which makes them even more engaging and, hence, more scary.
Redditor experiences an iconic jumpscare in older beta versions of Minecraft
A Redditor named 'u/iwanttodie95' recently posted a video on Minecraft's official subreddit where they were playing an extremely old beta version of the game. It was so old that it did not even have a hunger bar, which is now an integral part of the game.

The player was in a small hole that was blocked off by oak planks. The moment they broke the blocks to look outside in the wilderness at night, a creeper suddenly dropped from above and started to hiss. This was, of course, extremely scary for the player, as they quickly placed the oak planks once again. The shaky camera movement proved how the creeper caught the player by complete surprise.
Furthermore, the night was even more scary, as the player was unable to see anything more than a few blocks ahead of them. The overall lighting of the game was also quite dull and high in contrast.
