Alright minecraft gang I need you to explain this to me.
I am a game developer, I understand how this is obviously a bizarre bug. What I don’t understand is how I have never seen anyone talk about it in a community that had one and a million creepypastas revolving around the early cursed versions of this game, and what *actually* caused it.
I have my theories mostly involving GL rendering bugs but that doesn’t quite explain it neatly and it’s honestly been haunting me since this super obscure memory came back to me. And no it’s not modded.
EDIT: People have been mentioning it’s likely an early minecraft desync bug, and I agree. The fact it’s chickens being lit on fire and there is a lava mot outside checks out. Even past me in the thread where that screenshot was taken thought it was just caused by chickens dying in the lava. Jury is still out on why the heck it specifically only showed down there, sometimes way farther through walls, and why it was so persistent. Also why is a chicken this hecking big.
As such in the coming days I will probably be streaming myself trying to recreate the og castle as best as I remember it in the original version where this happened to try and recreate it. Wish me luck
EDIT2: I found the og gif showing the ghost and this is only raising more questions
