The Forbidden Depths: A Minecraft Creepypasta I
Minecraft has always been a game that encourages creativity, exploration, and survival. But beneath its pixelated charm lies a world that has spawned countless legends and mysteries. Among the many tales whispered in the shadows of the Minecraft community, there exists one story that few dare to recount: the tale of "The Forbidden Depths."
The Beginning
It started innocently enough. Marcus, an avid Minecraft player and part-time streamer, had been looking for a new seed to explore. His viewers suggested a random seed generator, one that was rumored to create strange and unpredictable worlds. Intrigued, Marcus typed in the seed: Xx_13DEEP_xX.
The world generated normally at first glance: a serene meadow bordered by a dense forest and a calm river. But as Marcus began to explore, subtle oddities made him uneasy. Trees occasionally grew in unnatural, twisted shapes. Animals seemed to spawn in pairs, staring in unison toward an unseen point on the horizon. And then there was the music—a faint, distorted hum that replaced the usual cheerful melodies.
"Weird seed," Marcus muttered to his chat. Comments poured in, suggesting it was a glitch or a mod interfering with his game. But Marcus knew better. His mod folder was empty, and the game was freshly installed.
The First Signs
As the days passed, Marcus ventured deeper into the world. His chat encouraged him to mine straight down, a classic Minecraft taboo. With a smirk, Marcus complied, breaking the cardinal rule for the sake of entertainment.
At first, it was routine. He dug through layers of dirt, stone, and coal. But around level 13, his pickaxe struck something unusual: a block he’d never seen before. It was dark, pulsating faintly with an eerie red glow. The block’s texture seemed to shift when viewed from different angles, almost as if it were alive.
Curiosity got the better of him. "What is this?" Marcus asked his chat, but no one had an answer. The block didn’t have a name when hovered over, and breaking it yielded no drops. Instead, a low, guttural sound echoed through his speakers, sending a shiver down his spine.
From that moment on, things escalated.
The Descent
The deeper Marcus dug, the stranger the world became. Caverns formed impossibly symmetrical patterns, and veins of the mysterious glowing block appeared more frequently. The distorted hum grew louder, interspersed with faint whispers in a language Marcus didn’t recognize.
"Are you guys hearing this?" he asked his viewers, but the chat had gone strangely quiet. Messages trickled in sporadically, mostly consisting of garbled text or ominous warnings:
- "LEAVE NOW"
- "IT’S WATCHING"
- "YOU’VE GONE TOO FAR"
Assuming it was a prank, Marcus pressed on. He was determined to uncover the truth behind the bizarre seed.
The Entity
It happened on the fourth night. Marcus had built a small base underground, surrounded by torches to keep hostile mobs at bay. While crafting, he noticed something out of the corner of his eye: a figure standing just outside the ring of light.
At first, he thought it was a skeleton or a zombie. But as he turned to face it, his blood ran cold. The figure was humanoid but lacked any discernible features. Its face was a void, an inky blackness that seemed to absorb the light around it. Its body flickered, as if it were struggling to exist within the game’s code.
Marcus froze. "What the hell is that?" he whispered. His viewers, now more active, flooded the chat:
- "RUN!"
- "DON'T LOOK AWAY!"
- "IT'S THE WATCHER!"
Before he could react, the figure vanished. The lights in his base dimmed, and the game’s audio cut out entirely. For a brief moment, his screen went black. When it returned, Marcus was no longer in his base.
The Forbidden Depths
He found himself in a vast, cavernous expanse unlike anything he’d seen before. The walls were lined with the pulsating blocks, their glow illuminating the darkness. The whispers were louder now, overlapping and chaotic, forming a cacophony that made it hard to think.
"Where am I?" Marcus muttered, his voice trembling. His inventory was empty, and his health bar displayed a strange symbol instead of hearts. The chat offered no help; messages were either incoherent or nonsensical.
As he wandered, the terrain grew increasingly surreal. Blocks defied gravity, floating aimlessly in the void. Water flowed upward, and lava cascaded in reverse. Then he saw them: other players, or what was left of them.
Their forms were distorted, their skins stretched and warped. They wandered aimlessly, occasionally stopping to stare at Marcus with hollow eyes. When he tried to approach, they would dissolve into static, leaving behind faint echoes of their screams.
The Final Confrontation
After what felt like hours, Marcus reached the heart of the cavern. A massive structure loomed before him, made entirely of the glowing blocks. At its center stood the figure—The Watcher.
It spoke, not in words but in thoughts that invaded Marcus’ mind:
"You were warned. This world is not yours to uncover."
Marcus tried to exit the game, but his keyboard and mouse were unresponsive. The Watcher raised its hand, and Marcus’ screen began to glitch violently. His avatar’s health bar drained, replaced by the same cryptic symbol he’d seen earlier.
Desperate, he unplugged his computer. The screen went dark, and silence filled the room. But just as he sighed in relief, his monitor flickered back on. The game had restarted itself, and the title screen was different. Instead of the usual cheerful backdrop, it displayed the cavern, with The Watcher staring directly at him.
The Aftermath
Marcus never played Minecraft again. He deleted the game and even replaced his computer, but the experience haunted him. Occasionally, his new PC would glitch, displaying fragments of the cavern or The Watcher’s featureless face. He stopped streaming and vanished from the online world.
The seed, Xx_13DEEP_xX, became infamous in certain circles. Those brave enough to try it reported similar experiences: the strange blocks, the whispers, and The Watcher. Some claimed it was an elaborate hoax, while others believed it was a gateway to something far darker.
To this day, no one knows the true origin of the seed. But one thing is certain: if you ever come across it, proceed with caution. Some depths are not meant to be explored.
The Echoes of Bedrock: A Minecraft Creepypasta II
In the vast, blocky expanse of Minecraft, where players build, mine, and survive, lies a layer of the world that few ever truly think about: bedrock. It’s the unbreakable foundation, the ultimate boundary. But what if bedrock wasn’t just the bottom of the world? What if it was something more—something alive?
The Discovery
Liam was an experienced Minecraft player. After years of mastering survival mode and countless hours spent exploring the infinite worlds, he craved a new challenge. One night, he stumbled upon a Reddit thread discussing a peculiar mod called "Void's Whisper." The mod, according to its creator, unlocked the mysteries of bedrock.
Intrigued, Liam downloaded and installed the mod. When he launched the game, everything seemed normal. He created a new world, named it "Void's Edge," and began his adventure. The spawn point was a typical forest biome, and the first few days were uneventful. But as he dug deeper into the earth, he noticed strange changes.
Stone blocks occasionally shimmered as if reflecting distant light, and faint, echoing sounds emanated from the depths. At first, Liam thought it was just an ambient effect added by the mod. But the deeper he went, the louder the sounds became. They weren’t random noises—they were whispers.
The First Encounter
By the third in-game day, Liam had reached level 5 in the underground. His diamond pickaxe cut through blocks with ease, and his inventory was filled with resources. But as he neared the bedrock layer, the whispers turned into distinct voices, murmuring in an unknown language.
“This is creepy as hell,” Liam muttered to himself, but he pressed on. When he reached bedrock, he noticed something peculiar. One of the bedrock blocks wasn’t flat like the others. It had an intricate pattern carved into it, glowing faintly with a pulsating red hue.
Liam tried to break it, but even with his enchanted diamond pickaxe, the block remained unyielding. Frustrated, he placed a torch nearby to examine it further. That’s when he saw it: a shadowy figure, flickering at the edge of his screen.
He spun around, but there was nothing there. The whispers grew louder, and his screen momentarily glitched.
The Descent
Determined to uncover the mystery, Liam returned to his base and crafted a set of enchanted tools. He also noticed a new crafting recipe added by the mod: Void Beacon. The description read: “Use at your own risk.”
Curiosity got the better of him. After gathering the required materials—obsidian, nether stars, and the glowing redstone from the strange bedrock block—he crafted the Void Beacon. Placing it near the patterned block caused a massive shockwave. His screen darkened, and the whispers turned into screams.
When the game resumed, Liam was no longer in the overworld. He found himself in a vast, desolate cavern, illuminated only by faint red light emanating from the ceiling. The bedrock here was different, almost liquid-like, shifting and writhing as if alive.
The Forgotten Ones
As Liam explored, he encountered entities that defied explanation. They were humanoid in shape but lacked defined features. Their bodies seemed to be made of the same liquid-like bedrock, and their movements were jerky and unnatural. They didn’t attack him but instead followed from a distance, their heads twitching as if studying him.
"Who are you?" Liam typed into the chat.
For a moment, there was no response. Then, a single message appeared:
"We are the Forgotten. You should not be here."
Liam’s heart raced. He tried to exit the game, but the escape key didn’t work. Even Alt+F4 failed. Panicking, he unplugged his computer, but the screen remained on, displaying the cavern and its unsettling inhabitants.
The Heart of the Void
With no other options, Liam ventured deeper into the cavern. The entities became more aggressive, their movements erratic. They began to block his path, forcing him to find alternative routes. As he progressed, he noticed symbols etched into the walls, glowing with the same red light as the patterned bedrock block.
Eventually, he arrived at the center of the cavern. A massive structure loomed before him, made entirely of the writhing bedrock. At its peak was an enormous eye, unblinking and pulsating with a malevolent energy.
The whispers returned, louder than ever, forming coherent words:
"You have awakened us. The barrier is broken."
Liam’s screen glitched violently as the eye focused on him. His health bar vanished, replaced by a single red symbol. The entities closed in, their forms distorting as they emitted piercing screams.
The Escape
Desperate, Liam remembered the Void Beacon in his inventory. He placed it on the ground and activated it. The cavern shook violently as a blinding light engulfed the screen. When the light subsided, Liam was back in his base, but the game was far from normal.
The world above had changed. The sky was dark, with crimson streaks cutting through the clouds. Villagers were gone, replaced by the same shadowy entities from the cavern. The bedrock at the surface was now patterned and glowing, spreading like a virus.
Liam tried to delete the world, but every attempt failed. Even uninstalling the game didn’t work. Whenever he turned on his computer, the game launched itself, always bringing him back to the corrupted world.
The Aftermath
Liam’s story spread online after he posted screenshots and videos, hoping someone could help. But those who downloaded the mod or tried the seed reported similar experiences. Some claimed the mod was cursed, while others believed it was a gateway to a deeper, darker part of Minecraft’s code.
Eventually, Liam disappeared from the internet. His final message was a cryptic warning:
"If you hear the whispers, it’s already too late."
To this day, the "Void's Whisper" mod remains a mystery. Some say it was an elaborate ARG, while others believe it was something far worse. But one thing is certain: bedrock is not as lifeless as it seems.
The Redstone Curse: A Minecraft Creepypasta III
Minecraft is a game of endless possibilities, where every block holds potential. But not all blocks are created equal. Among the game’s many features, redstone stands out as the lifeblood of machinery and automation. Yet, for one player, redstone became something far more sinister—a harbinger of madness.
A Promising Project
Ethan was an engineer both in real life and in Minecraft. Known among his friends for designing elaborate redstone contraptions, he took pride in his creations. From automated farms to intricate puzzles, there was little he couldn’t build. So when he decided to tackle his most ambitious project yet, his friends were eager to see the results.
The plan was to create a fully functional redstone-powered mansion. Every door, light, and feature would be automated, from secret passageways to self-farming crop fields. To make it unique, Ethan chose a random seed—CursedCircuit_88—that he found in an obscure Minecraft forum.
At first, the project went smoothly. The mansion’s skeleton came together quickly, and the redstone systems functioned as intended. But as he delved deeper into the project, things began to change.
The First Glitch
It started small. While working on a hidden staircase mechanism, Ethan noticed that the redstone dust sometimes flickered, even when there was no power source nearby. Thinking it was a visual glitch, he ignored it and continued building.
But then came the sounds. Late at night, while placing redstone repeaters, he began hearing faint, rhythmic clicks—like a piston firing in the distance. Yet when he searched, there was nothing. No pistons, no circuits, just the empty halls of the unfinished mansion.
"Weird," he muttered, chalking it up to Minecraft’s ambient noises. But the occurrences grew more frequent and unnerving.
The Redstone Entity
One evening, while working on the mansion’s central clock tower, Ethan noticed something unusual in the redstone circuit he had just laid. The dust formed a pattern he hadn’t created: a spiral. Confused, he broke the dust and re-laid it, but the pattern returned almost immediately.
"Is this a bug?" he wondered aloud. But before he could investigate further, his screen glitched. For a split second, he thought he saw a figure standing in the distance—a shadowy humanoid form with glowing red eyes. When the screen stabilized, the figure was gone.
Ethan’s friends dismissed his concerns, joking that he’d been playing too much. But Ethan couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.
The Mansion Comes Alive
As the mansion neared completion, the glitches escalated. Redstone circuits would activate on their own, powering pistons and dispensers in random patterns. Doors slammed shut without input, and lights flickered ominously.
One night, while testing a security system, Ethan heard a voice. It was faint and distorted, but unmistakably real.
"Why are you here?"
Ethan froze. The voice wasn’t coming from his headset or speakers. It seemed to emanate directly from the game. Terrified, he typed into the chat:
"Who is this?"
For a moment, there was no response. Then, a single message appeared:
"Leave. Or join us."
The Curse Revealed
Determined to uncover the truth, Ethan dove into the seed’s origins. The forum where he had found it was gone, replaced by a blank webpage. Digging deeper, he discovered rumors about CursedCircuit_88. According to scattered accounts, the seed had been linked to a series of strange events, including corrupted worlds and players reporting unexplainable phenomena.
The most chilling story described a "Redstone Entity," a malevolent presence that haunted players who used the seed. The entity, it was said, could manipulate redstone systems and trap players in endless cycles of terror.
Ethan realized he had made a grave mistake.
The Final Night
The night Ethan finished the mansion was the last time he played Minecraft. As he placed the final block, his screen glitched again, this time more violently. The redstone circuits lit up in unison, creating an intricate web of glowing patterns throughout the mansion.
Then, the lights went out.
When the screen returned, Ethan’s avatar was no longer in the mansion. He was in a dark void, surrounded by floating redstone dust. The Entity appeared before him, its form flickering and unstable. Its glowing red eyes burned into his screen.
"You built this. Now it’s ours."
Ethan’s controls were unresponsive. The Entity raised a hand, and the redstone dust swirled around him, forming chains that bound his avatar. His health bar drained rapidly, replaced by a string of symbols. Before the game crashed, Ethan saw one final message:
"You can’t escape the circuit."
The Aftermath
Ethan uninstalled Minecraft that night and never reinstalled it. Despite his efforts to forget, the experience haunted him. Occasionally, his computer would power on by itself, displaying the mansion’s image on the screen before shutting down again.
To this day, no one knows the true nature of CursedCircuit_88. Some believe it’s an elaborate ARG, while others think it’s a corrupted piece of code that took on a life of its own. But one thing is certain: redstone is more than a tool. It’s a gateway. And some circuits should never be completed.
