I am here to discuss a strange "Glitch" (at least, that's what I think it is...) that I encountered while playing the game. I thought this should go into the help section of the forums, but I think this needs a bit more than the average log reading and troubleshooting (No matter how helpful that can be.)
So I was playing minecraft one day. I was playing around, I had a few mods installed, and just having a good time, when suddenly my game got choppy. This happens often, so I thought, "I'll finish what i'm doing, then I will reset my game." How ever, before I did much more, my game proceeded to run out of memory. I got the average "MINECRAFT HAS RUN OUT OF MEMORY" screen, and I thought to myself, "Darn it... I hate when this happens."
I then pressed the return to title screen button, but instead of your ordinary happy minecraft opening screen, I was taken to this darker version of it. The minecraft logo was the same, but all of the buttons were dark and faded. Creepily of all, the splash text at the top right said, "It's finished!" In creepy orange text instead of the normal yellow text. I stared in awe for about 3 minutes wondering to myself, "What the heck is this place?" "Whats going on?"
and most importantly, "WHATS FINISHED!?" I attemped to take a screen shot, but failed, so I then shut my game down and reloaded it. The creepy orange text was gone, the "It's finished!" splash had gone away, and the background was back to normal. I was thankful, but at the same time, unsatisfied. I felt like I was on to something big. Really big. Really, really, BIG. and I just let it go. So before I go crying my shirt off because I turned down an adventure no one else had experienced, I want to know, Has anyone ELSEexperienced this? I am curious. Is this something that wasn't supposed to be in the game? I'm not certain about anything here... Just that its not normal. Thanks for reading. And PLEASE be truthful if you state anything about this.

It was most likely something with the modifications you had.
I agree with SgtVampiric.It is most likely the mods because of that creepy screen.The creator of one of those mods must've want to do that to scare a few people

NO I can't tell you what mods I had installed. I don't remember...
Fail on my part.
And for the people saying it was most likely in a mod, I searched through EVERY SNGLE TEXTURE FILE, in all of the mods. I had like... 12.

Terrible creepy pasta story and or your mods. You're not fooling anyone.
Sure...You searched through all of your mods, yet you don't know what they are...
Multiple things here... This happened MONTHS ago, so it's not like i'm gonna remember the exact names and updates of roughly 12 mods, and two, its not meant to scare anyone... I just wanted to know what the heck it was. So far the only one who has really helped is DragonGamerHD56.
Thanks to him.

It sounds like the gamma got turned down by accident, certainly a bug, not sure if vanilla or due to mods. That would cause the orange text and darker buttons and such. "It's finished!" is a normal splash text you can encounter, referring to Minecraft being out of beta.

I've had similar experiences. I also ran into the same message. But nothing was strange. I had no mods, and it was reg text. I'm not dough ting you, but how much did you smoke b4 playing?
It was probably just a really glitchy coincidence. I know it's disappointing that you can't go on a real adventure and discover something really cool no one ever has before but...that's just not how real life works. I learned that the hard way. And before you get all hopeful, NO it's not Herobrine. Herobrine was practical joke that some people actually took seriously. They took it seriously so you don't have to. He's nowhere in the coding. Trust me. I looked.

I never realized that a certain coincidence can turn into a fine yet simple creepy pasta. The splash text "It's finished" is actually one of the 350+ splash text that pops randomly when minecraft runs. Not sure about the black background and orange text though, the gamma settings error as stated by Avantir_Yihn might have caused it. Most likely you mods or texture packs might have glitched it temporarily because of the processing RAM.
Actually I don't know what I'm saying. I'm just here to say that the splashtext/buggy background/memory timeout coincidence is simply awesome. I bet Illuminati is behind this.

Even if no mod was affiliated with this, almost every mod usually contains viruses and malware and may carry some easter eggs, by the creator, such as that.
No, not almost all mods contain a virus or malware, most contain harmless easter eggs that are a reference to other games, practical jokes or any other such harmless easter egg. Whoever fed you that blatantly incorrect nonsense has no clue what they're talking about. Any mods that contained viruses and malware would soon be flamed to death and never used, look at what happened to authors who put code in to lock the game up when another mod was installed or the mod in question was installed in a particular mod pack, those authors got hundreds of messages asking to remove it and the mods were flamed to the point where the author removed the code.

Yes thats true, but some mods have viruses and malwares, bugs and the such. Though some mods that do contain them (Virus, Malwares etc.) are not yet deleted from the code, but has/takes a very little percentage of the list of mods ever created.
And as what I have said, may carry easter eggs by the creator.
Its quite fun to come by one of those though! (Easter Eggs)
The mods that do are either the tiny minority (like I mean 1 mod in several thousand mods), or are purposefully stolen, infected and reuploaded, and as long as you know what you're doing (which is honestly required with modding any game, do not blindly follow a tutorial without reading up on things, look at recent posts about modding and pay attention for dodgy websites) you won't get infected. Legit mods do not purposefully contain harmful code that poses a threat to your computer and/or privacy, so therefore they don't have to delete the viruses from their code.
And just saying, bug is no where near equal to malware. A bug is an unintended problem that the author may not have known about (or may have known about but either didn't have the time to or necessarily know how to fix), malware is harmful code within a program that the author intended to place within the code. There's a big difference. Same goes with easter eggs. Easter eggs are harmless secret functions the author intended to write, so why even bother including them?
As I said, the claim you made is significantly over-exaggerated and shouldn't be as blown up, yes some mods contain it, but you're only going to see these mods on dodgy websites that you as a computer user should be able to identify as dodgy, and should do some research prior to blindly installing a mod.

Yeah, this is for the PC version. You can tell it is due to the fact that the OP (original post / poster) was talking about logs, hinting at how his game outputs logs (and only the PC version does, can't access game files on consoles), and how it mentioned an out-of-memory error screen, which only occurs on the PC version. And yeah, you did over-exaggerate your initial claim of most mods include viruses and malware. The main reason why I'm getting at that is because people do look at random topics for help on their own problems, and if they have the same problem as the OP and see your comment they'll immediately assume that they've got a virus or something and promptly delete the game, the file, and start a virus scan. Not exactly the worst choice, but still a waste as chances are they probably didn't have a virus and just had the game mess up on them.
Now, if you were talking about the console version, yeah, you have a point, but my point still stands regardless. Most "mods" for the console editions that are infected typically have red flags such as dodgy websites, little to no reviews, perhaps kids doing videos on the supposed "mod", etc. And even then I'd honestly say the fault is on the user themselves as the user modded their console and installed the mod in full understanding that what they were doing would void their warranty, is illegal, can brick their game and console, and is something a lot of people look down upon.
EDIT: Sorry for the weird post layout, my entire state is experiencing internet issues and I'm having to put up with very unreliable internet, so even though I clicked once, for some reason the request went through several times. My apologies.
I do experience that frequently, maybe it is due that my country has a very weak and slow internet connection, with an average of about 3.00/4.00 Mbps I guess, which is very slow.
I do feel your pain
Usually we get around 5 Mbps, but the ISP that actually provides the lines state-wide had a downage that pretty much makes the internet useless with more than one person using it. Last night I measured 16 Kbps, or 2 KB/s. That's REALLY slow for our internet.

Oh my. 16 Kbps, especially 2 Kbps is so slow, more than really slow. My lowest experience was 10 Kbps (Under certain circumstances, such as high internet traffic, if there is really high internet traffic, numbers may go to a very low number of 5 or even 0, but after a few minutes, goes to 100+ kbps again.
Basically, our country's ISP's internet speed says it is (on mobile) a quite fast/fast link speed of 72 Mbps, but is usually less than 1 Mbps
I have to make a distinction quickly, 16 Kbps is 16 Kilobit per second, 16 thousand bits per second. 2 KB/s is 2 kilobyte per second, that's 2 thousand bytes per second. Same speed, just different measurements.
We have the best we can get in our area and the most it gets up to is 5 Mbps down, no higher, and about 1 Mbps up, no higher.
