A weird Easter egg has been recently discovered by a Minecraft player who suggested a credible theory in regards to End Crystals. Although the game has been around for roughly a decade, there’re still unsolved mysteries that fans seek to uncover.

Quite recently, the legendary Herobrine seed Minecraft world has been discovered by players after months of persistent search. It is worth mentioning that it’s not necessarily a secret of the vanilla game but rather a mystery that originated from a community-created creepypasta. Back in 2010, one of the players reported on a scary ghost that allegedly appeared in their world. The spooky phantom looked like Steve but had no pupils in its eyes, given the name Herobrine. The seed of the world it originally “appeared” in has been finally discovered by devoted researchers. But there’s at least one more secret to uncover, which might’ve just been done by another inquisitive player.

According to a Reddit user named dr-naba, Minecraft’s End Crystals might be hiding one of the final Easter eggs in the game. The player has suggested a credible theory that runes depicted on the crystals can be put together in a word. Apparently, encrypted in the symbols is the word "Mojang," the name of the development studio behind Minecraft. If arranged correctly, the runes indeed heavily resemble letters of the alphabet, forming the company’s well-known moniker. Additionally, the letter “O” is definitely reminiscent of the studio’s old logo. Markus “Notch” Persson once answered a fan’s direct question about the strange object. The creator of the game said it was just an abstract shape, vaguely resembling a sewing machine.

There’s another Minecraft old-time secret that surrendered under fans’ pressure not so long ago. Last year, tenacious seekers from the game’s community managed to reveal the seed of the most iconic world that appeared on Minecraft’s original title screen. Although the discovery didn’t serve any practical purpose, it was nonetheless worth admiring, especially considering the amount of effort put into the research. Thanks to the players’ dedicated work, all the fans now have the opportunity to explore the iconic world that felt so magical back in the day, rotating in the background of a launched client and luring to go on an adventure.

All things considered, it does feel like the latest discovery of the encrypted Mojang name is actually true. To make this story a Minecraft canon, an official response from the developers (or at least from the person responsible for leaving this Easter egg) would’ve been greatly appreciated. But while there’s no reward for solving such a weird mystery other than just to feel satisfied, things like that tend to inspire the community in a big way. That’s, probably, the biggest value of Easter eggs in open-ended survival games.
