Pirated Minecraft

Back on a hot summer day in 2013, I couldn't afford Minecraft so I decided to download a cracked version. Every site either looked sketchy or had downloads that didn't work, so I gave up for the day and went to sleep. When I woke up and continued the search, I found a website. "MCDownload.xyz". The website had minecraft branding and looked like something Mojang would make (except for the pirating part). I clicked the download button and before I knew it, it was completley downloaded. Extracting the .zip file put 2 files on my desktop. A ReadMe.txt and a MinecraftLauncherInstaller.exe.
I decided to open the ReadMe.txt and it had a note. 
 Minecraft is a fun block game. Thanks for downloading it. We hope you have fun!
This struck me as odd, as most ReadMe.txt files that come with downloads often contain instructions; but I just shrugged it off.
I eventually launched the MinecraftLauncherInstaller.exe file. After a while, it had fully installed a version of the Minecraft Launcher. The launcher it installed looked sort of odd, like one of those adverts you see on flash game websites; I started to think about how suspicous this all looked, but I poo-pooed the idea it could be a virus because I was to excited to play Minecraft to focus on anything else.
Upon launching the game, I screamed in delight! "I got Minecraft for free!" I thought "Nothing could ruin this moment!". I launched a singleplayer world and started playing. I had lots of fun building houses and mining. I could have spent the entire night playing if my Mom hadn't told me to go to bed.
The next morning, upon launching minecraft, I saw a message briefly appear on the screen."Enjoy The New Friends In Minecraft"Since I didn't really know much about Minecraft, I thought this must be saying my game had updated. I thought maybe they added a dog or cat to the game, that is, until I began seeing the figures in my Minecraft world.
I didn't notice it at first, but strange corrupted textures started appearing in the distance in my minecraft world. I didn't think much of it until I realised that they always face the camera. I was interested. "Mojang are really thinking outside the box with this new mob!" I thought. After seeing them 3 or 4 times, I decided to try and get to them. I climbed up the steep hill one of these things were standing on and guess what I found. Nothing. I started to get pretty creeped out; this isn't some new pet mob or a trader...
I decided to ignore them for a while. I wondered if I was imagining this "Mob" I saw.
I built a mine, got some diamonds and expanded my house. Things were going great and I begun to be seeing the "Mob" watcher thingy less. Until one in-game-night, while I slept, I saw it RIGHT out my window. My game started making a glitchy high-pitched sound before crashing. For the first time, I saw what these strange mobs really were. It appeared to be an extremily corrupted image of "Steve?", the Minecraft avatar. This corrupted steve thing was certainly not a minecraft feature. Mojang would never add something so bizare and creepy. At this point I knew this pirated copy of Minecraft must have been changed or edited in some way. I didn't sleep much for a few days after seeing that thing. 
The next day, as soon as I woke up, I went to my computer and deleted every trace of this pirated copym of Minecraft I could find. After deleting the .minecraft folder in %appdata%, my PC bluescreened. Apon waiting a few minutes, my PC restarted. I thought everything was fine until I noticed a new .png file on my desktop.

Apon opening this file, I saw something horribly, horribly familiar. I saw the texture of the mob that had been watching me. The one that crashed my game. My blood went cold. This strange pirated copy of Minecraft had somehow taken control of my PC.
In fear, I did a complete reinstall of Windows 7. It took all night.
The next day, I decided to try and getting my PC back to how it was before I wiped my data. When I got everything back to normal and had installed 7zip. I played newgrounds almost all day. When it was 11:34 PM, I closed internet explorer and decided something felt off. "Maybe I accidently moved one of my desktop icons earlier?" I thought. I then turned off my PC and went to bed.
The next day, I woke up with my PC on. The screen displayed two words: "new friends" flashing over and over. I then jumped out of bed, grabbed my PC power cable and pulled it as hard as I could. I got a new PC on my next birthday. I don't pirate things any more.
I had to go to therapy because of this. I don't know what this version of Minecraft is, or what it would have done if I didn't pull the plug, but do not search for this. Do not research this pirated "build". Do not look for it.
