Brutal Minecraft

I don't play too much minecraft, but I do enjoy this game to this day. Sometimes I like to go online to see the mods that other people made and try them out; some can be really interesting and some are useless. I downloaded a few mods and tried them out. after like 20 minutes at least; I came across a mod called "brutal minecraft", I saw countless names that sounded uncreative and ridiculous; I was gonna scroll down to find more mods that might be more appealing to the eye, but decided to look at the description to see what it has in store for me. And this is the description says:

"Good evening, If you are reading this; then I hope you will like this mod. This mod will make the game have more difficulty because I thought it will make the game have more realism. your main objective in the game is to find it's hideout and don't let it find you. And I may be added alittle few tweaks to the mod as well, I won't give too much of them away but you will eventually see them. Have fun"

A more difficult mod? Now that might be interesting and I like challenges that involved difficulties. But, what is "it" and don't let it catch you? And what will happen when you find it's hideout? Maybe I'll give this mod a chance and try it out. I clicked on the download button and it did took awhile to load because it's file was pretty big. When it was done, I decided to see the mods contents. There are two PNG files, the first one had for five different shades of red; each of them is "two pixels wide and and the height is two pixels high". And the second one seems to be an NPC character that has been blacked out. I was curious what functions they had, so I imported the mod into the mods file and played minecraft. I selected the mods name "brutal minecraft" and created a new world and select survival.

I'll tell you about the mods gameplay; when I spawned there wasn't anything too different. I was alittle disappointed at first, so I decided to try to build a workbench and use my fist to cut down trees. It wasn't noticeable but trying to punch down some tree blocks took alittle longer than usually (that goes for all the blocks in the game, then I realized this is when the mod comes to play. That's just the first difference, I'll tell you the other differences that I found on the first day. The hostile NPC's were more aggressive towards your playable NPC and harder to kill. your tools (such as axe, pickaxe and a sword) will break quicker, so that means you have to make mutabile of them to progress digging and chopping trees to get the materials that you need to survive. Remember when I mentioned the red pixels, well they were trying to represent blood; How it works is when you hit any NPC with any sharp objects the NPC's (dis include skeletons and spiders) will spew out pixels of red with each of them having different shades of red. I thought it was a cool feature that the creator of the mod has implanted. I'll take a break and see more tomorrow.

I when back on like a day later and try to see any more differences in the game's mod. Nothing else was new, I built a house which it took awhile because of the difficulty of the mod and I kept dieing and losing everything in my possession. I went to explore more of the map, don't worry I came prepare this time. But somehow kept dieing for no reason, there wasn't any hostile NPC in sight and it was day time. It got to the point that I got really frustrated that this keeps happening, this never happened before and when I started the mod. started jerking camera all around the place to find what's killing me. That's when I saw something disappearing behind a tree, I went to the tree where the it hid. Nothing was there when I checked, so I just moved on and thought nothing of it. Few moments later I turned around and saw it disappeared behind a large hill. this time I got a little good look at it, it was a human like NPC and it was all blacked out. Then I realized it was the blacked out NPC from the files in the mod.

I periodically looked behind me when I go to places, depending how long you havn't looked back; it will appear behind me and it quickly hides behind something, when I go and checked where it hides there will be nothing there. When I look behind too short amount of time or too frequently, it won't show up. When I don't look back for a decent amount of time the closer it gets. And when I don't look back at all, I die. Then I realized why I kept dieing, it gets you when you don't look behind you enough. As long I keep on looking behind me periodically I can keep it at bay. I'll do this again tomorrow and try to finds the hideout that the description was the was talking about.

I came back on the next day to try to find the hideout. I also discover how the thing from behind to keep it at bay with out periodically looking behind me. I was just trying to find the hideout and was using a compass to know what direction I was going. All the sudden the compass started going haywire, I quickly looked behind me and the the figure was dangerously close as it hid behind a cactus. The compass (also works for the clock) went ballistic a few times when I don't look behind me for along time, when it does that I turn around to see the figure close behind me. It was a nice touch and makes the game more easier. On the way on my journey to find the hideout I found a few villages that I came across, nothing else out of the originary had happen (besides the pixel blood that the NPC's spewed when hit by sharp objects, the difficulty of the game and the figure behind me) everything was normal. When I look at every angle of the map I put a torch where I have looked (usually by caves). This was not an easy task to for fill, I have no clue where the hideout could be and I'm trying my best to find it. I searched 43% of the map and nothing so far. I'll stop here and keep searching for another time.

I haven't been playing minecraft for awhile because I was busy lately, but now I can continue my search for the hideout. Something's were becoming strange lately in the game that hadn't happened before. Rarely when I go to sleep in the game, on the side of my bed there is a window on the left. When the screen fades to sleep the figure that keeps on following would appear in the window, looking at me. But every time I wake up in the morning of the game, the door that leaves the room will be open (even I always closed the door) that also goes to the front door too. And some of the NPC's in the world would disappear for no reason, also my animal friends would also disappear; I thought at first that they walked away from the house but when I go looking for them, they would be no where insight. The figure that follows me behind is also coming more frequently and coming closer no matter how long I look away. I still searched for the hideout, still no luck. I hope I'm getting closer to find that hideout.

Two days later I went back on Minecraft, I did continue my search to find hideout. Guess what, I finally found it unexpectedly. I was just walking on the side of the cliff and all the sudden the compass started going haywire once again as I started turning around, the figure wasn't there but the compass is still going haywire. I looked around for the figure, but it's nowhere in sight. When I moved away from the area the compass goes to normal functions again, it's just that one area that it does that. I want to look around the area to see what keeps on triggering it. I went into the cavern and there was an iron door, there was no way to get though (digging away though which it will take a long time to do) my house wasn't too far away so I went back to get an iron pickaxe to dig on the sides of the door. How ever after I found the door the figure stopped appearing behind me, for that absence of that figure, it just felt a little strange that the figure behind me just sudden vanished.

I went back to see what's behind the door, the pickaxe broke by the second block but it was enough to get through. Behind the door was hallway, It was pretty dark. I used the torches to find my way through the caverns. At the end, there was a big room that the walls and floor has the brick like blocks from the temple where the ender portal is. In the middle of the room that something that looks like a shrine, on the side of the shrine was a sign that says "here where it sleeps" I didn't know what it means but on the side on the left of the room was a small doorway. I walked towards the door and it was a smaller room, in the room there were three chests on each side of the room. On the wall the was a sign that says "where the victims rest"' I looked into the chests were 27 bones inside (you know what the skeletons drops when killed). I exit the chest and something was different about my in game character. My things in my inventory were gone and my character's arm is the color black. I thought it was a glitch but I checked my characters inventory; the character wasn't my default Steve anymore, it was blacked out like that figure that keeps on following me. The screen faded to black and the credits screen came up, the text wasn't the usual credits, this is how it went:

"Thank you for playing this mod. I hope you had a good time, congratulations for finding the hideout."

After when it was done scrolling, a corrupted notice came up and crashes the game. I tried going back to the world and trying to create a new world, but any time I tried; the corrupted file notice would come up and crashes the game. I deleted the mod and things were back to normal. I went back to the forms to see if the mod was still there, but no trace of the mod was in existence. Then I thought back about the door opening scenario and the figure that rarely comes at the window and NPCs kept on disappearing. Then another thought came to me when my character all the sudden turn into like the figure that followed me. Did I killed other NPCs in my sleep? It's a creepy thought when I think about it.
