=== Part 1: The Discovery ===
Back in 2012, a talking Sand block emerged from a desert, grew limbs, and started discovering the outside life from then. However, he was lost, stranded in the desert, with no other blocks around, so he was alone and didn't know how to survive. However, he then barely made it into a grassy biome and found himself a pond, where he could happily drink some water, even though drinking is not a real challenge in Minecraft. He then did some of the basics for survival in Minecraft: he chopped off some trees, crafted them into planks, made a crafting table, made some tools including a wooden pickaxe and a wooden sword, then later on built a shelter for himself. He also killed some animals for food.
After days of nothing to do other than surviving in the shelter, Sand felt alone, until one day, a talking Dirt block has emerged from the dirt part of a villager's farm, where the villager was trying to start using his hoe to turn the dirt blocks into farmland blocks to plant the different types of seeds. Dirt ran away as fast as possible, mined a grass block, and gave it to a villager, saying "Hey man, spare me, spare my life, please! Take this dirt block. Take it! Place it, plant it, it's not alive, just spare me!".
As Dirt ran away from a village, he was running away for hours and then indirectly went into the direction to Sand's shelter. Unlike Sand, he didn't know any basics of survival, including building shelter, killing animals for food, and killing off hostile mobs. So, he decided to go to the shelter to see if there is anybody in there to help him.
He entered the shelter, found Sand, and they introduced themselves. Dirt was desperate that he wanted same shelter away from villager and wanted to learn the basics of survival, so Sand nurtured him, taught him the basics of survival, and then they became friends. Sand built a second wooden floor and gave him a bed to sleep on.
=== Part 2: Further Survival and Discovery ===
After Sand and Dirt have been surviving for days in Minecraft, they decided to start mining for more resources and find deeper caves to find rarer materials. When they were about to arrive into a cave, they saw a gravel beach with some clay on it. One Clay block came to life and asked what is this world. Sand and Dirt discovered Clay. Sand told Dirt to put Clay into the shelter and educate him for a bit, while Sand himself would mine for the rarer materials.
While Sand is mining for rarer materials and Dirt is helping and educating Clay, just on the same gravel beach, a Gravel block also came to life. Unlike Sand, Dirt, and Clay, he initially knows how to survive in Minecraft, because he respawned from a part of the world. He tried to grab all of the items that he got in the spot that he died in, then came back to his initial spot to start over. He did lose his shelter because he doesn't remember where it is.
While Gravel was about to mine for more resources, he found Sand climbing up from it. They met each other and they became friends. Sand said he can survive with him, Dirt, and Clay, and Gravel agreed. Sand introduced Gravel to Dirt and Clay, and they were thrilled to see more of a professional person in here. Later on, Sand built a floor for Clay and Gravel each, then the four all claimed that they were going to be a great team.
=== Part 3: Desertic Hill ===
For two whole weeks, they were consistently surviving and upgrading their home. However, one day, an unknown mob of griefers with tons of spawn eggs came in and grief their shelter for good. They tried to fight them off, but to no avail, they lost their shelter, nearly died, and decided to run away from them as soon as possible. After an hour of consistently running, they lost the griefers.
They arrived into a small, desertic land with a grass biome around it. From there, they found a steep, desertic hill. On there, they built their own shelters, then mined their own types of blocks, and covered them in their own blocks. Moreover, from there, they started building a wall all around the small desertic biome and part of the grass biome. They also mined down in a master cave to grab as many resources as they could from there.
They even brought in new friends to expand their empire from there. They were also talking blocks that came in to help. They made stronger walls out of obsidians, more shelters, bigger farms, and pretty much anything else imaginable. It got to the point where they could exploit as many resources imaginable as possible. They even started building a place for leisure for themselves, and it was planned by Sand: it was generically called "Sand's Park".
=== Part 4: Sand's Park ===
As Sand planned a park so that the team can have leisure time for themselves, it was, later on, built on a natural ice rink, where the team later on expanded their empire to. Given that Sand figured out how to use redstone, he was able to create plenty of rides, including a few rollercoaster/minecart rides. Sand also built a statue for himself in there, as well as plenty of other colorful features and objects.
After a long day of work of both building the empire and the park, they decided to have fun for the next day in the park. Sand also hosted a race, he rode a rollercoaster, and just had fun with the team. They also ate fried food, ice cream, and plenty of other things, and all of this was possible even in a private park. In the end, the entire team had fun, except one person, Dirt, who wanted to continue work. He wanted to find resources and tools in a city to upgrade the empire even more.
After 7 hours of consistent walking, he found a city, but it was quiet and windy. There was a paper that flew into Dirt's face, which have shown on how to access the Nether for even more resources and how to "complete life". So, he quickly asked for tools and resources for his empire, as well as obsidian blocks, flint and steel, ender pearls, and end portal blocks for the portals, but he didn't have enough emeralds to compensate for anything nor did the trader have all of the stuff he wanted, so Dirt had to work for it alone and away from the city.
Dirt was lost, stranded, and far away from the empire. He doesn't know how he can get back to the empire because he lost his direction. Currently, his only choice was to start over.
=== Part 5: Dirt Survives Alone ===
As so, with Dirt being lost, and knowing his survival skills in Minecraft, he started over: he chopped down some trees, made a crafting table, made some tools, killed some animals for food, and built a shelter. Even though he was near the city, that city needed people to rent an apartment with emeralds to live there, hence why Dirt built a temporary shelter for himself. He also mined down some stone, then ores, then diamonds and made some diamond tools and armor.
His goal was to go to the Nether to get even more resources. He mined down ten obsidian blocks, then when he was back from the cave, he saw that his shelter was about to be griefed by the same horde of griefers who destroyed the old shelter. So, Dirt attempted to kill them all. In the end, he survived, and his shelter remained intact. He then built a Nether portal inside and went there.
Meanwhile, Sand and his team were trying to find Dirt. They were looking all around the empire for several minutes, but couldn't find him at all. However, Dirt leaves obvious foodsteps, and the team observed obvious footsteps from him, so the team can easily find his path. Sand, Clay, and Gravel decided to follow the path while the rest were told to continue the development of the empire.
=== Part 6: Nether ===
As Dirt went into the Nether, he was looking for more resources. He learned that netherite was also really powerful, hence the main reason why he went to the Nether in the first place. He was equipped with diamond armor and tools just in case he fights off powerful mobs.
While Sand, Clay, and Gravel were following Dirt's path, they were already tired for walking half way to the end of the path. They wanted some sleep, so they decided to make a super small shelter with nothing but 3 beds inside. Though, they weren't able to sleep because suddenly, monsters have appeared nearby, so they decided to place a few torches around their checkpoint shelter and kill the monsters with their diamond swords and armor. A creeper was about to blow up the shelter, but the team killed it quickly before it could. They killed off enough monsters and quickly went to sleep.
Meanwhile, in the Nether, Dirt was busy between a session of mining netherite and other resources and killing mobs that were consistently trying to attack him. Though, during that time, he forgot the path to the Nether portal and didn't have any spare obsidian blocks, so he was practically stuck. His path is only observable on grass and dirt blocks, so he can't use his path to return to the Nether portal, so Dirt built an emergency shelter to temporarily protect himself from the mobs and to not go any further in case if Sand ever finds him.
Sand, Clay, and Gravel woke up the next morning and decided to continue on with their journey, until a few hours later, they finally found a city and a small wooden shelter nearby. Judging from Dirt's path, they assumed the shelter belonged to Dirt, so they could only hope for that to be true. They saw a portal and wondered what the portal leads to, so they went in and landed on the Nether.
=== Part 7: Finding Dirt ===
After hours of staying trapped in the shelter, Dirt was super bored and tired. He wanted to sleep, but since he knows that beds explode in the Nether, he just felt restless. He started to go a little insane. He is waiting for the minute Sand, Clay, and Gravel find him. Though, despite all this, he is still somewhat happy for having enough food to survive for a long time and the fact that he grabbed plenty of netherite resources, enough to craft full netherite armor and tools not only for him, but enough to supply for three other people.
As Sand, Clay, and Gravel entered the portal, they were confused on which route was taken, so each person tried taking a different route. Just a few minutes later, Gravel managed to find Dirt, so he was screaming as loud as he can to inform Sand and Clay that he found him. They ran as fast as they could, but then, when Sand almost arrived, he tripped into lava. So, Dirt gave Gravel an ender pearl, then threw it to Sand. Though, Sand managed to land on a strider, but the ender pearl landed into the lava. Later on, the strider put Sand on the land, then Sand climbed to where the rest of the team are, and they reunited.
With the four reuniting, Dirt told them about the ultimate goal to "life", which is The End. To complete life, they'll have to kill the Ender Dragon. Luckily, Dirt has enough ender pearls to fill the ender portal, so Dirt planned on getting out of the Nether, going back to the empire and telling everyone in the empire about this. Though, first, they'll have to mine lots of netherite to give netherite tools for everyone.
=== Part 8: The End ===
After hours and hours of mining, they grabbed lots of netherite resources, and Gravel was lucky enough to re-discover the same portal Dirt initiated before, so Gravel told them to go to the portal, then go back to the shelter. Though, it is the night, and they were tired, so Dirt crafted 3 more beds for his friends and they decided to sleep in this shelter.
The next day, after a long walk from their shelter to the empire, they arrived at the empire and Dirt announced his return. As a compensation for his absence, he gave everyone netherite armor and tools, then announced about The End and how they can fully accomplish "life". Basically, they'll have to find a stronghold to get to the ender portal, then defeat the Ender Dragon.
So, after a few hours of groups of 4 people trying to find a stronghold, Sand, Dirt, Clay, and Gravel all found a stronghold. Clay built a beacon and told everyone to come there as soon as possible. Minutes later, the whole army reunited. Dirt put the ender pearls and the end portal activated. The whole army jumped one by one, then a couple minutes later, everyone arrived at The End.
The whole army arrived at the floating island, they all attacked everything, including the endermen, in all ways possible. Then, in the end, the Ender Dragon was defeated, and everyone celebrated for accomplishing "life". They all jumped in the end portal, spawned back to their empire and celebrated.
Weeks later, they continued on expanding their empire, and becoming one of the strongest empires in the world.
