Hello, World

What is Minecraft to you? Is it a fun game you play with friends, a game you play competitively, is it a quiet place where you can build to the limit of your imagination, or is it a fun game where you can challenge yourself and try to kill the final boss, the ender dragon? Well for a small number of people there can be something sinister lurking in the darkness, not zombies or skeletons but something unintended for us to see. 
== First Sighting ==
October, 27th, 2013. I was playing Minecraft in the newly released 1.7.1 snapshot. When I went into my house I had built the previous day, I found a single wooden plank missing on the floor. I had no idea why it had been removed, my only explanation being it was a new snapshot and it was a glitch. I fixed it and went to sleep. When I woke up I started harvesting my crops and crashed with it, giving me an error message back in the launcher saying "Error 6601 Hello World". After I loaded back into the game I finished replanting the seeds and started exploring searching for a taiga biome for its spruce wood. while exploring I came across a river but all the water had been drained. I was slightly worried that the snapshot had some really bad bugs that could ruin my world. After all, I continued on look for a taiga When I had found a desert biome I found along with it a chunk error that covered almost 4 chunks. This freaked me out, and it was not any better when I found another chunk missing only around 32 blocks away. I came across a small taiga and gathered the wood I needed. Finally, I started returning home finding some oddly destroyed blocks and some trees missing some logs. Then the game crashed on the way back, giving me the crash message once again. When I got back I put the wood and some of my stuff in my chest and started walking towards my awkwardly shaped mine. I had also dug the day before. Then I saw a chunk of sand in the middle of my plains biome that I was positive was not there before. Being freaked out I started going into my mine because I needed more iron. As I went down mining a tiny bit of iron and coal I had not seen before I saw something that does not relate to any other mob in the entire game. This thing stared blankly at me for about 4 seconds before the game crashed once more this time saying "Error -111111111111 Hello World. Minecraft 1.7.1 (Not Responding)". When I got back in the game the thing was gone. I immediately left the game but when I got back on the home page I was greeted with a distorted green background instead of the normal panorama with all the buttons gone and shortly after crashed. Quickly after I thought for a moment I went onto the Minecraft forums in search of answers for what I had seen. I started explaining what I saw. Everyone I talked to either had no idea what it was and some people thought it was photoshop and bullshit. Later I tried joining the game. Everything was pitch black and in chat someone, I assumed it was that thing since it was a singleplayer world. Their name is "6601Java:ProjectLurk-Watch-Ruin:6601". All they said was "Stop looking there is nothing to see." followed by a link to the mp3 file download. Being a bit sketched out I hesitated to download and open the mp3. After around 30 minutes I finally decided to open it and It was just this screeching loud noise. I immediately closed it and replied in the chat "What is this?!?!?!?" I got no response and shortly after crashed. Later I got a message from a forum user named "MOBItsblitsz66" who stated he had also seen the thing. He told me about similar things that happened to him like chunks disappearing and reappearing in other places. An hour later I got back on the forums and tried to contact him again but he was offline. I then considered deleting Minecraft but in the end, did not. I did take a break from Minecraft for about 2 weeks after this. The only traces of that thing are the screenshots, the mp3 file, and that world that remains untouched to this day.
== Latest Sighting ==
The date was October, 28th, 2021. I was playing in my survival world in Minecraft bedrock edition in version 1.17.41. I started the world around 10 minutes ago so I did not have very much gear. When I started looking for a place to set up my furnaces and chests I saw a hole that almost looked like a creeper hole but a bit wider and not as deep. It was a bit weird because there was clay in the hole which usually only spawns in rivers and small pockets of water. Ignoring that, I set up my stuff near this taiga biome. I then put most of my stuff away and went to go get some oak wood from spawn. I saw this cool build on Reddit that used a lot of oak. When I went to get the oak on my way I found a spruce tree with a log missing. I also ignored this and thought it was a cool piece of generation. When I got to spawn I spent around 10 minutes gathering wood. Then on my way home I found a ravine and I saw a load of iron, so naturally, I went to go get it when my frames for about 5 seconds dropped to 0 and I was practically looking at a Powerpoint presentation. After that ended I thought it was really weird that my frames dropped for no apparent reason. I have a good PC so I was quite confused. After I stopped lagging I got the iron and built-up back up to the surface. I decided to make an iron sword and use the rest for armor. Then I got off the game for about an hour to get some lunch. When I got back on the game and went into the world the game crashed. I loaded the game back up and went into the world and one of my furnaces was gone. Luckily it did not have anything in it but that was my first major red flag. I made and placed a new furnace and started going in the direction of the ravine so I could find some caves connected to it. When I started building down I saw some coal and grabbed it. Then I saw a cave built up to it and started going through it. The best resources I found in it were some lapis and a small amount of iron. After that letdown, I just started going back to my chests because keep inventory was off and I had some good things on me that I did not want to lose. Then I thought it would be a cool idea to make an underground bunker. The cool part about it was it would be connected to a bunch of caves or tunnels I would make connecting to the surface that has water trickling down them so if a bunch of mobs got in I could just come up one of the tunnels and the water would push them down. This was on hard mode so mobs hit extremely hard. I thought this was an excellent idea so I got to work right away, but then I saw something when going down one of the caves. It was a black figure with a weird dark green eye-like part. I turned around, started running, and then my game flat-out crashed. When I got back into the game I was pushed back a couple of seconds since Minecraft did not have the time to save my position and when I returned to the spot the thing was gone. Although freaked out later I asked some friends who knew much more about the game than I did and they had no idea what it was so I continued the survival world with some weird things still happening hoping to find that thing once more.
== How You Can Find Him ==
To find Hello, World you must first activate him. Basically hello, world is something commonly used by many computer coders to test if something is working and if it will activate. You need to be on snapshot 1.7.1 or any bedrock edition version. The seed must be 6601 or -6601. If you find big holes or rivers with no water in them that is a sign he is In your world. There is a chance the game will crash and if in the crash reports you get the message "Error -111111111111 Hello World. Minecraft 1.7.1 (Not Responding)" that means if you go back into the game his program will be in your game and he is now somewhere, wandering in the shadows.
