Fatal Error

I'm pretty sure most of you know about Minecraft. But I'm certain that you don't know what I'm about to tell you. Today, I'm going to tell you about a exprience I've had with Minecraft that happened around a month ago. So, it all started with me logging into Minecraft.
The menu seemed normal. Which was good. Considering I felt like it was going to be a normal day for me. I had a strange feeling, however. So, I decided to play a multiplayer server with my friend. First of all, we got supplies. Then, my friend suddenly started acting very strangely.
He couldn't move. It was like he was stuck. His nametag wasn't showing. He swore he didn't hide it from all players. I then sorted out Discord. We chatted for a little bit about what we were going to build.
He suggested that we build a city. I thought that was a pretty good idea. His mic started to glitch. But suddenly, he vanished. The Discord tab was instantly closed down and I was left alone.
A message was shown in the chat.
'Player has been kicked.'
I didn't know why this was happening. I noticed something in the distance. I couldn't make it out. I turned my render distance down to see it. It seemed like another player. I saw that he had a default Steve skin. It seemed, normal. As I approached, I got an uneasy feeling. As I turned towards the player, a error message appeared.
'A fatal error has occurred.'
The browser for Minecraft was now closed. So, I tried to reopen it. It seemed that someone was already logged in. This player's name was, my own name. This was confusing to me. I thought that I logged in. Did someone hack into my computer?
As I got into Minecraft, something seemed weird. There were what seemed to be floating trees. They were everywhere. Strange things started to happen. The normal textures of the bar that the bottom of the screen seemed to glitch, therefore, making it look like it was corrupted. This seemed like a major glitch. Not one that happens normally in the slightest.
There was a lack of mobs. I counted that there were 3 mobs. However, they were all the same animal. That animal was a distorted model of a Zombie. This wasn't intended. I knew someone was messing with the code of the game.
The chat was flooded with error messages which seemed to be in binary code. But, I couldn't make sense out of any of them. It felt like someone was somehow hacking the game in real-time while I was playing it. The render distance seemed much higher and the FOV was at 1.213. I couldn't understand what the numbers meant. But, this must've been the work of a hacker.
The normal messages I put in chat were placed with a slew of glitching letters and distorted and weird symbols. One of the symbols seemed to be a mess of code and other numbers. I noticed that whenever I would type commands and hit enter, nothing would happen.
My normal skin was replaced with a default Steve skin. However, the truth was, Steve's eyes would follow me. This wasn't the way that Minecraft was coded at all. I suddenly saw a message in the chat. It was a message that was in Latin. When translated, it means this.
'There is no mercy.'
I felt a sharp tingle in my left hand. My knees left numb. I couldn't feel anything that that point. This was very strange. The next thing that happened was even stranger.
Mobs began to appear. They were all passive mobs. But, they attacked me. They eventually killed me. Instead of the normal death screen, a error message appeared instead. It said this.
'Fatal error detected, closing Minecraft...'
The tab closed. So, I decided to try to log into Minecraft, again. However my log in was replaced with a set of random numbers and the screen began to glitch. Then, a message appeared.
'It seems Minecraft has been infected with a unknown error, do you wish to proceed? (Minecraft may crash).'
The options were yes and no. I chose no. But, it booted me into the world that I was playing, which didn't have a name, mind you.
Many strange things happened, textures decided to glitch randomly, trees would instantly break on impact and there would be multiple messages telling me to stop playing. Honestly, I was feeling stressed. Normally, at this point, I would quit, but I decided to see what would happen next.
A figure spawned on top of what looked a hill. His skin seemed to be a black skin, wearing what seemed to be a pure-white mask with a angry face carved into it. I walked up slowly to the figure. A message from him popped up in chat. However, the text was in red. This is what the message said.
'Chaos shall fall upon this world and you will not be able to stop it.'
The textures started to distort. Messages from the player that I saw kept on appearing. My skin seemed to be changing into his skin. But, the face was ripped off. The mobs were all gone and there was no sign of any trees. Suddenly, I was teleported to what looked like a house of a villager.
The walls were made out of wood textured as what seemed to be bedrock. In the room, there was a chest and a bed. The figure appeared. Staring through the window. Before he clipped through the wall. I tried to attack him but I was taking damage instead of him. I realised the house seemed like my house. I heard footsteps. Then, my bedroom door swung open and a black figure was standing behind me.
Suddenly, I blacked out. I woke up in a hospitial. The doctors stared at me and I saw something in the corner of my eye. Then, it was gone. After that exprience, I never knew who the hacker was. I sent a Mojang a email detailing my exprience. About 30 minutes after I sent the email, I got a reply. The reply was about how they did not know who the hacker responsible for it is and the multiple hackings done over the past 3 months by similar hackers. The names of the hackers weren't disclosed. Because they were unknown at the time and we still don't know who they are. A local forum page claimed that Mojang was responsible for the hackings themeselves. Which wasn't true. Frankly, I was a bit angry at the person who made the supposed post. I honestly didn't think that Mojang couldn't hack their own game. That felt impossible.
Luckily, the post was swiftly deleted in a matter of hours after it was posted. The moderators deleted the post. It promoted harassment in some way. Which is against the ToS of the local forum. The person who made the post was a 19 year-old student from a local computer college called T.E.C.H College. He was expelled from the college by the local principal of the college about 3 days after he made the post claiming that Mojang themselves were partaking in the supposed hackings. The person stated that they 'weren't helping anyone about the effects of hacking', which was untrue and Mojang responded to the post about a week after the post was deleted. A multitude of people have claimed that Mojang wasn't the one to blame.
Which was true. But, someone had to take the blame. Right?
Anyways, the case was soon dropped. People could be cruel sometimes. Mojang themeselves were furious over the fact that the 19 year-old would claim that Mojang helped with the hackers. They forgetten about it recently. That is a good thing. Hackers in Minecraft are a thing I'm constantly afraid of now. So, if you see any hackers in your Minecraft world, contact Mojang. And now I know this. I'll never forget what I've exprienced.
