The Dark Star

==First Sighting==
It was a dark stormy night, so I couldn't go out to play. As the network connectivity in my area had been knocked out by the storm, I couldn't open up Youtube to watch memes, or shorts, something that I do when I get bored. And also, I just moved out, and bought a house in a rural area (Think Prairie-style), because, who doesn't love nature, and I was fed up with the boring suburb life, I just wanted to feel the fresh air in the countryside. But that's irrevelant to the story. 
Anyways, sorry for the distraction, I do get carried on. But, by the way, as I said before, it was a stormy night, and the air was chilly and stuff. I got that sort of Adrenaline rush, or whatever you call it when you get excited by the chilly fresh air from the storm, I turned off the lights and turned on my PC. Since my network connectivity was down due to the storm, I decided to open Minecraft, as I could not possibly play any other game. The area where I live has no electric power grids so most of us use solar panels and batteries for electricity, and the area is so sparsely populated that, besides from a few convenience stores littered here and there, that we stock up supplies in our homes. But still I like it, as the air is fresh and stuff. 
Now, I must mention to you, and I shall say it. I LIED 
The PC was not mine, in the sense that I did not buy it. I found it in a ditch, not far away from my house, a few years back. I don't know how. And it also is pretty weird, having a PC in a ditch. For some reason, I don't know, but after I brought the PC to my house, and cleaned it to get rid of mud and other debris, it seemed to be working perfectly fine. No artifacts, no lag, just smoothly running. After downloading some 3PS and scanning the PC's specs, I found it out to be a PC with a GTX 1650 card, 32GB RAM and a i5-8900K CPU. It was a bit strange I admit, finding something in a ditch like that, running perfectly, and that was not the only strange fact. The ditch in question had this strange red hue, as if some red liquid had fell over it, like blood. 
First thing I knew, I bolted with the PC to my house, and opened the PC. The strange thing was, the PC already had an account, something like "Tobiasxx55" or some weird name I don't know. And weird thing, There was no password.
Long story short, this PC has been running perfectly fine and non-anomalously for like a couple of years now. But I will shut up and get on with the story.
Anyways, where was I? Oh, I see. As I was going on, I decided to open up Minecraft today and play in the dark stormy weather. Strange thing was, the computer was today behaving in a weird manner. Like, it was refusing to open Minecraft today, showing up errors like, Corrupted file or Inadequate permissions
Finally after forcing the goddamn program to open with the command prompts and admin perms, I finally opened Minecraft. Weird thing though, Minecraft was now updated to a strange version. I dunno why, it's pretty weird, getting a Minecraft update fully finished when you have no internet connectivity. And strange update it was, for it was named "Dark Star Update". Just that, no update number like "1.NN.N" or anything like that, just a strange name. And I decided to open my world. The world was not exactly abandoned or anything like that, I hadn't opened Minecraft in a long time, like 1 or 2 months, so I decided to open the world, since the update name suggested something exciting to be coming up in Minecraft. 
When I opened it though, chaos was wreaked.
First of all, my house, a significant part of the house was now turned into diamonds and emeralds. And while diamonds and emeralds are extremely useful stuff, they look plain ugly in construction. 
Second of all, I went to my Minecraft farmhouse, where I housed my animals like horses, cows, donkeys, pigs, chickens and a innumerable list of farming mobs that will waste my time in saying so. Long story short, I was in the farm, and found strange stuff sticking out of the ground, something that looked like a iron block, but was hideously distorted that it looked like a combination of magma and iron textures. I mined some of the blocks, and they look so painstakingly long, that it was like trying to mine bedrock. The block had a strange name, "Iron Core material". That sounded baffling.
Now, let's come to the main part. I had realised that I hadn't jumped the entire time I had just been in this world, so I decided to jump. 
Surprisingly, the jump was extremely low, instead of the usual 3-5 blocks that you can jump across, I could barely jump 2 blocks. And after roaming around my complex (Base sounds outdated). After 3 experiments, I discovered some strange facts: 
#I now took a lot more fall damage than before. In fact, now, even if I jumped from 1 block above, then I would take half a heart of damage. I did fall and die a couple of times, but since I had a respawn point fixed, that wasn't a issue.
# I did another experiment, by dropping items from the top of a really tall mountain (Close to Y-319). To my astonishment, my theory was true, the items seemed to fall 5-6x more faster from the top and insanely accelerated till they hit the ground. And I myself tried this theory. By commiting suicide in Minecraft By jumping off from the top of the cliff, I fell really insanely towards the ground, really fast. And worst thing of all, the area where I fell turned into a crater, comparable in size to what happens after a Wither blast, as I hit the ground with a insane speed. Thankfully, I never did it in my base
#Dropping gravity-affected blocks like sand or gravel seemed to yield strange effects. The sand and other gravity blocks now fell really, really fast to the ground. And if I dropped them from a sufficient height, it would yield small craters.
All of this seemed to suggest that the Minecraftian gravity had somehow increased, and maybe it was a Mojang joke to turn our world into a white-dwarf star so that we could take damage from hitting ground at low height or see TNT-like craters from sand crashing into the ground at relativistic speeds (Whoopsies, forgot Speed Of Light doesn't exist in Minecraft. Take that, Einstein). The title of the update seemed to suggest so, being named "Dark Star". And another discovery [REDACTED, COMING LATER]
So anyways, I decided to go mining in my mineshaft for a while to chill out, and I was tired of the villager sounds and stuff in my complex. Oops, forgot to mention, that my complex was a sort of Concentration Camp for Villagers. 
I was mining anyways, right down to Y- -64, till I hit bedrock, or did I?
As I mined deeper and deeper down to bedrock, I started noticing some strange effects. First of all, the light from my torch seemed to get bluer and brighter the deeper I went, while the background appeared to get dimmer and redder. Second of all, there was a weird glitch that happened when I tried to mine stuff that got more and more frequent as I mined deeper down. The blocks took longer to mine, and the pickaxe animation got slower and slower as I mined deeper and deeper. In fact, it now became as hard to mine deepslate as mining obsidian starting at Y- -55, and it nearly became hard as bedrock at Y- -63. Finally, I hit bedrock, or was it bedrock?
The blocks were pitch black with a hint of blueish light coming out. And I decided to mine the blocks to see what the blocks were. The blocks were surprisingly easy to mine, being just less hard than mining obsidian. But, the blocks had a really weird name: 
Neutron-Degenerate Matter 
Now, I am no astronomy nerd, or anything like that, but I do know that there is something seriously wrong when you replace bedrock with "Neutron-Degenerate Matter". I mean, I do know a bit of physics. I do know the fact that the neutron-degenerate matter is the stuff that they find in neutron stars and neutronium. And that's pretty weird. 
Also, after I picked a few of these blocks, I began walking extremely slowly, as if I was bogged down with something extremely heavy. I walked at a really slow pace, and I began taking damage from walking too fast, which I replenished by eating the cooked pork I bought with myself.
There were also weird blocks, just 2 to 3 blocks above the "NDM" blocks, which were called "Electron-Degenerate Iron". They looked extremely dark with precipices of glowing lava in them. Touching the blocks caused damage to me. I decided to get my bed and I went up to my base, and in half an hour, I went back to the site of neutronium and dense iron blocks at bedrock.
I decided to mine through the neutronium, and I made a shocking discovery.
Normally, if you break through bedrock, you fall into the void and die.
But, in this case, I didn't fall. Instead I found more blocks at the bottom. There were tons of "NDM" and "EDI" blocks, which extended below. In fact, I may have mined as down as Y- -100, and still found lots of blocks at the bottom. The gravity was also very intense. I could barely jump, and if I even fell from just a block slab, I could take as much as 6 hearts of damage. Thankfully, I managed to take a ton of food, so that I did not die at the bottom of this world, where Minecraft introduced a neutron star instead of the bedrock and void. The neutron star, or whatever the fiendish thing that Minecraft had introduced, was a barren environment. No mobs, no trees, no ores, nothing. A barren hostile environment filled with tons of neutronium and ultra-dense iron, where even falling from a block's height was enough to kill you. And indeed I did. I once saw a zombie venture into this environment, and instantly die, with the rotten flesh getting crushed in a split second, into some sort of weird dark, snowlike layer on the "NDI" blocks. Thanks goodness, that this stuff did not occur on the surface of my world.
Something strange began happening. There were hair-like tendrils starting to form on the neutronium blocks, that were evidently made up of the dense-iron thingy I found on the surface. Suddenly, the Neutron star's surface ripped apart and the entire surface as far I could see, began to shake violently, like some sort of weird "star" quake. I was flung violently, to nearly 50 blocks of height and kept on being flung and falling to the ground. For some reason I was not taking damage. 
Now, comes the horrendous part of the story.
I was now trying to exit the area by searching for a cave. However, to my horror, I was blocked by a invisible barrier at the ceiling of the vast expanse. Then this message came in the chat:
[SYSTEM]: MORTAL, YOU HAVE FOUND YOURSELVES IN THE CLUTCHES OF THE IRON CORE OF A DYING STAR
[SYSTEM]: ALREADY IT HAS TURNED PARTLY INTO NEUTRONS
[SYSTEM]: THIS CORE WILL COLLAPSE INEVITABLY INTO A BLACK HOLE
[SYSTEM]: Space and time have now switched places. Even if you use your elytra, you will never escape your fate
[SYSTEM]: DIE
Then, I saw a giant ceiling of pistons pushing down and down at terrific speed. I saw my base getting crushed, my farm getting destroyed to rubble. I could hear the sounds of creepers, wardens, zombies and skeletons dying as they were crushed by the pistons.
Then the core collapsed. The surface no longer gave a blue glow, it turned completely black. I was pulled terrifically into the black hole, as the pistons kept on crushing matter into the newly formed black hole. I saw creepers, zombies, cows, villagers and even iron golems falling along with me, into the inevitable singularity. Then I saw it. 
The singularity.
In the distance, a bright blue-white point, radiating with an enormous magnitude of brightness, and also intensely hot. As soon I was just 50000 blocks away from the singularity, I began taking burn damage from the intense heat of the singularity. I heard the sounds of golems getting hurt, that familiar "clank" sound. I checked my Y coordinates, and they were now going haywire, fluctuating erratically, going from Y- googol to Y- -Infinity. The game was glitching really weirdly. I figured it must be due to the fact that the singularity was warping the Minecraftian spacetime so much that, the XYZ coordinates were going haywire. I knew my end in the game was near. Yet, I kept on hoping for the best. Then it happened.
I smashed into the singularity, along with all the mobs and blocks that had been pulled into it. And then, the screen turned black. Then the game crashed.
I reloaded it up, and then found this message.
The game was corrupted due to the presence of malicious code present in it. Don't worry, the game will fix itself
After which it kept on crashing.
Finally it opened up, and then I booted up Minecraft, and opened the world.
To my surprise, the world was as normal as it ever was. No intense gravity, no neutronium blocks, no black hole pulling in blocks and mobs. Just a peaceful world, with my farmhouse, base etc etc. 
Alas! I moved out of my rural area due to the fact that I felt lonely, and moved into the suburb, where I met some famous Youtubers and decided to set up my own YT channel so that I could recount this tale to my friends. I called in some of my friends and voila! We made our public SMP for everyone. Goodbye guys! Maybe I will meet you in the future
