Nothing at All

Hi. My name’s Aiden Quiller. I’m pretty new to Minecraft, as I’ve only been playing on version 1.19. What you’re about to read is my encounter with a strange entity that I have no knowledge about whatsoever. I also don’t have much memory of this encounter as well, so I can’t really recall all of the events that took place. Aside from that, the reason why I decided to post this on the internet was because I couldn’t really find any information about this entity.
I tried asking my friends about this and the results were just blank. I’m not sure if this was a bug (I’m not the best with computers), but the experience I had while playing the game was pretty creepy to say the least. Anyways, I’m just gonna get down to the point. If anyone out there has had any experience with this entity, please feel free to contact me. Your help would be really appreciated.
==My Experience==
I started playing Minecraft a few days ago at this time. It wasn’t the best experience, but I could tell why everyone liked it. There were times when I almost cried because of the whole “nostalgic vibe” thing that circled the game, which made it somewhat sad and fun for me. But my entire view of the game changed entirely on Wednesday.
I was playing alone on my private Minecraft server at night, building houses and farming crops. My friends would log onto Minecraft tomorrow even though they promised to play with me today (this was because of their exams). Of course, that wouldn’t stop me from enjoying the game myself. First, I started gathering some wood. I was planning on building a cabin and a home for my pet dogs. Once I did that, I started construction on the house.
It was coming along pretty well, and I was really proud of it too. However, once it was nighttime, I hurried to my house and got in bed so it would become morning again. But the game didn’t let me go to sleep.
“You may not rest, there are monsters nearby.”
That’s exactly what the game told me. As I sighed, I equipped my iron sword and armor. I headed outside of my house and scanned the area for any mobs. Nothing. I tried looking at the back of my house. Still nothing. At this point I was thinking, “Okay, then the mobs must be underground.”
So I got out my shovel and dug down underneath my house. However, there weren’t any caves nearby or any mob spawners. I dug up to the surface in confusion. If there weren’t any mobs nearby me, then why couldn’t I sleep? That’s when at the corner of my screen, I saw something in black move. I quickly shifted my sights to the exact location I saw the movement come from. But there was nothing.
I was getting pretty frustrated, so I logged off Minecraft to take a break for a while. When I came back, I logged back on my world and tried to go to sleep again. This time, the game didn’t stop me from sleeping. Things were eventually going back to normal and I was having a lot of fun. Nonetheless, I was getting a bit tired. As time progressed, I became increasingly sleepy. I turned off my computer again and headed to the bathroom. On my way there however, I heard a knock on my door. I found it weird because I had a doorbell, so I wasn’t sure why someone would choose to knock. It was pretty dark outside, so I was also curious about who could be knocking at this time. I walked over to the door and looked through the peephole. There was nobody outside. I was a bit creeped out at first, but shrugged it off pretty easily. It was probably just some kids playing a prank on me.
I walked away from the door and went straight to the bathroom to brush my teeth. After doing so, I started to walk up the stairs to my bedroom. But that’s when I heard it again: the knock on the door. Although I was sleepy, I decided to answer it anyway. I checked through the peephole. Still nothing. I let out another sigh before climbing up the stairs.
I had a doorbell camera attached, so I made it my goal to look at the footage in the morning. When I woke up in the morning, the first thing that came to my mind was my camera footage. I took the doorbell camera inside and inserted the Micro SD Card into the USB Card Reader before plugging it into my PC after showering. Once the video folder popped up, I clicked on it and went to large icons. I started to review the footage, feeling pretty confident that I would find the culprit. But once I watched through the footage, I was completely shocked. There was no one standing at my doorstep.
The only proof I had of a kid playing this prank on me was the sound of the knocking on my door even though there was no one there that could have knocked. I rewatched the footage again. Nothing new popped up as usual. At this point, I was freaking out. How in the world could I have heard a knock on my door if there was nobody on my doorstep in the first place? I first contemplated calling the police - but of course, they would have probably thought that my doorbell device had a glitch in it. After all, there wasn’t anyone standing at the door and it wasn’t like the police believed in ghosts.
However, I shrugged off all my thoughts. I thought it was just a doorbell malfunction at the time (mostly because it was the only possible answer.) I looked at my watch and realized that I was almost late for school. I instantly jolted to the kitchen and prepared my meal before wolfing down the food in front of me as fast as I could. After that, I got into my car and left.
Once I got home, the only thing I remember was taking a shower before getting myself something to eat. I was pretty exhausted, so I just made an omelette. Once I was done eating, I took a look at my homework. I finished most of them at school, so if my memory serves me right, I only had to do two or three of them. Eventually, I finished my assignments and decided to have some free time. I remembered that my friends would be on Minecraft this time, so I went to my PC and booted the game back up once more. I checked if my friends were online, and sadly, they weren’t. I guess they lied to me.
I opened up Discord and texted them a couple of times. I didn’t want to sound angry at them because that would’ve probably endangered our relationship.
 Hey, where are u guys?
 U promised to play
 Hello?
 Guys?
I eventually gave up trying to contact them, letting out another sigh. I guess I was gonna have to play by myself again. I hopped into my private server and started collecting some supplies. I was planning on building myself a roller coaster. But then, I saw something. A completely unknown entity with dark skin was watching me on the hill. I checked the username board because I thought it was a friend. There was nobody online except me. I didn’t know what to do.
 <Markmansstuff149> Hello?
I typed in chat. No response. The player in black said nothing. It slowly turned around, running away. I quickly sprinted towards it, trying to figure out what it was and who it was.
 <Markmansstuff149> WAIT
 <Markmansstuff149> HOLD ON
I made sure to keep a close eye on the entity. I didn't want it to get away. Suddenly, the entity cut a corner in a nearby mountain. I did the same. But once I did, it was gone. It was like it had vanished from thin air. I checked the user list again just to make sure I wasn't anything. There was no message in the chat saying that the entity had left, so it was possible that it was still around. I scouted the area a little more, but eventually gave up. Something was off - and I knew that as a fact. But just as I was about to log off, a message appeared in chat.
 Are you lonely?
 Do you enjoy it?
I hurriedly typed a response.
 <Markmansstuff149> Who are you?
I waited. And waited. And waited. But there was nothing new in chat. There were only two messages. That was all. But still, I felt something. I felt happiness. Of course, it faded away. Slowly but surely, it faded. It was all gone. The next day, I went to school with the intention to confront my friends. But they didn't come. It wasn't like they had a chance to come. Once I got to the campus, a woman told me that the school was closed. I was confused because I haven't heard of the news. I asked a the woman a few questions before leaving. Once I got back home, I checked my school email, and it turns out that woman was correct.
There was a message sent in my inbox by the school, telling me that school was cancelled for the day. It didn't tell me why though. So, I simply sighed and checked my phone. After all, I never really checked it out much. But once I did, what I found left me incandescent. My friends were hanging out together without even telling me. In fact, they were thriving. They even took pictures of themselves doing fun activities. Out of pure rage and instinct, I blocked their numbers and threw my phone on my bed as hard as I could. After all we've been through together, now they just decided to exclude me out?
