Yin

Yin, (Yintagonaxprectaxiouslagious as its full name), is an error character that can appear on any Minecraft World. It is an extremely dangerous entity towards your Minecraft, and can be fatal in cases.
The days seen in the phases are measured in Minecraft days (20 min/day), not real life days. And even if you are not currently on the world in Minecraft, the timer will still count down regardless.
== Appearance and behavior ==
Yin is an entity that appears on any Minecraft world (though it has more likely to appear on a singleplayer, old, or flat Minecraft worlds), and is a very dangerous entity. It has the appearance of a player skin, though it is completely black and has glitchy eyes. It is unable to go within 4 chunks of the player spawn, including beds. It can walk, run, and can even fly, though its preferred method of movement is teleporting. It often teleports behind the player, or into an area nearby the coordinates of the player. These moves do not prove as risks towards the entity of being caught, as it makes looking towards it or moving towards it completely impossible (view alternations or player movement towards the entity will result in the player being teleported directly to spawn). It also has the ability to prevent mobs from spawning near the player, and all villages will have no villagers or iron golems. Whenever it moves (not including teleportation or flight), it will turn the area around it into bedrock, which will not disappear until it is out of the player's render distance. This occurs up to 5 blocks away from its body. It likes to stalk and taunt the player, occasionally sending messages that say "I SEE YOU" or "IM COMING FOR YOU", with no sender username. The entity can be seen on discovered areas in a map; however, as soon if they exit said discovered area, their icon will completely disappear (their icon looks like a blood red player icon). The entity does not have a name tag.
== Phases ==
=== Phase 1 ===
During phase 1, which is from days 1-3 after the entity has appeared on the world, the entity will play with your head in a simple way. It avoids sending messages, occasionally appears on maps outside the player's render distance, and may break or place random objects near or on the spawn point. This phase is the safest phase, and this phase also usually results in nothing more than an unsettling feeling. Exiting the world during this phase of the entity and simply allowing your computer to do a virus scan will easily remove the entity from your world, and anything altered by the entity will go back to normal (including mob spawns, spawned bedrock, and villages). There is nothing to mainly worry about during this phase, other than the fact that if you want a safe world, you need to take action within the time it gives you.
=== Phase 2 ===
During phase 2, from days 3-8, it begins to act more aggressively and starts to take action. It will break and place blocks more frequently, and begins sending out messages, though message sending during this phase is exclusive to multiplayer worlds, and his username in chat will be one of three: "Yin", "Yintagonaxprectaxiouslagious", or "<Username>". Before at all sending any messages, it will manipulate chat to send a message saying that one of the following player names has joined the world. It well then begin to talk and reply as if it were a human on the other end. While it does this, it will stay far from the player, and may alter the world, though most of its activity is done when everyone or just the player is offline, where it gains access to change the world version or corrupt your world. If you are left afk on the world for more than 30 minutes during this stage of the entity, you will get a crash error from Minecraft with a simple crash log: "Afk". If you crash to this error, your Minecraft launcher will randomly swap the version you are playing on to any version (This includes from Alpha 1.0 all the way to Minecraft 1.23.4, though launching any randomized version past 1.18.2 will load the Minecraft release 1.0 menu, and creating a new world or joining a multiplayer world will immediately crash your game.) During the time the player is online, entity spawn rates drop to below 5%, and villages are completely emptied, and all chests from the villages will be looted. This so called "player" never leaves the game and is usually on every hour of the day, until day 8. The problem can still be solved by simply deleting the Minecraft world.
=== Phase 3: ===
During phase 3, from days 8-13, it will begin to make its appearance as a threat more than a player. After the entity "leaves" the game, Minecraft will begin to experience heavy lag. The entity will also send out messages, usually ones that scare the player. These include "I SEE YOU" and "IM COMING FOR YOU" in all caps with normally unchecked grammar and no sender username. It will also begin to do its behavior listed at "Appearance and Behavior". If you are afk (or even standing still) for a short 3 minutes or longer, your game has a 50% chance of crashing every minute. As soon as you hit 30 minutes, your game will crash, though this time there will be a crash log with blood red text, saying "I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE" and a set of coordinates, though these coordinates are the exact position of your computer in real life. This is usually the last warning from the entity, and if you do not delete Minecraft and restart your computer before Phase 4, the entity will become unstoppable.
=== PHASE 4: ===
Phase 4 is the final phase of the entity, from day 13 until day 3600 (50 real life days) of your Minecraft world. During this phase, your Minecraft world will be forcibly deleted by the entity and your Minecraft file will become permanently corrupted. You will begin experiencing sleepiness in real life for the next 36 days. After day 36 at exactly 12:00am on the 37th day, someone will knock on your house door in real life. If you do not answer, the knocks will end at 1:00am and you will continue life, with a side effect of being constantly sleepy. If you open the door, you will fall unconscious and wake up on the same day you created the infected Minecraft world, with no memories.
== Avoidance ==
* In stage 1, exit your world and run a virus scan
* In stage 2, delete your world
* In stage 3, delete Minecraft and restart your computer
* In stage 4, do not open your door when the entity knocks
