Features and download guide for the ERROR 422 mod for Minecraft

What does the ERROR 422 mod offer?

First, you need to understand what Error 422 creepypasta is. It dates back to 2020, when a boy named Alexander received a Discord link to a video named M̶i̶n̶e̶c̶r̶a̶f̶t̶ ERR422 54 45 53 54. In the video's description, there was a download link to a unique version of Minecraft, which looked glitched and horrific. It was locked in survival hardcore mode and had some of the most bizarre and scary glitches.

The glitched game version was not able to show a player's health and hunger bar, renamed items, did not allow players to stack items properly, and even changed the entire terrain generation in a few biomes. Players randomly got hit by invisible entities, were unable to wear armor sets properly, and even found that some items went missing from their inventory.

After a few hours of playing this version, they would get jumpscared by a mysterious creature with multiple colorful pixels as its skin, and the game would run into dozens of glitches. These glitches included aggressive screen shake, thousands of code lines in chat, glitched world and sky color, and much more. After the main jumpscare ended, a player's character would die, and they would return to the home page.

This was originally a glitched Minecraft version, but was later created as a mod with slightly limited features by a modding company named Ultreon Studios.
