What is the King in Yellow in Minecraft?

by

Minecraft is known for its simple, blocky world where dangers like falling into caves or encountering creepers can be frightening. However, there’s a much more terrifying presence lurking within the game: the King in Yellow.

Minecraft is generally considered a game for all ages. While it has spooky creatures like zombies and skeletons—and the unsettling ‘Creeping’ sound—it’s not really a horror game. That changed when YouTuber Wifies created the King in Yellow, a truly terrifying character based on Minecraft’s existing story.

If you haven’t heard about it yet, “King in Yellow” might seem a bit strange. It’s not a planned addition to the game coming in a future update, and you won’t find it during normal gameplay. However, it’s quickly becoming popular among players. Here’s everything you should know about it.

Who is the King in Yellow?

The King in Yellow is a character introduced in a Minecraft alternate reality game (ARG) called Searching For A World That Doesn’t Exist, created by the YouTuber Wifies.

The King in Yellow is a terrifying, god-like being, similar to creatures like Cthulhu. He preys on anyone who enters his realm, driving them to insanity through his writings or by encountering him directly. He relentlessly hunts and torments his victims, ultimately leading to their destruction.

Similar to many terrifying, ancient beings, the King in Yellow isn’t directly named or given a voice. Everything we know about him comes from the books mentioned in the story and what the central character, D3rLord3, says about him.

Don’t worry about this character appearing in the actual Minecraft game. He only exists within the alternate reality game (ARG), and many fans of Lovecraft and Robert W. Chambers appreciate the story’s eerie, atmospheric design more than its connection to Minecraft.
