ESCAPE

I am Tim Walker. It was August 19, 2011, when I encountered my first Minecraft Anomaly. Maybe I should call it a creepypasta, because I never got any video proof of it. Why would I record normal Minecraft gameplay? At least it was normal.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. I only remembered this because of the text file that I made. It's a shame that no one will ever learn about the entity that I battled against for five days.
Here's the story:
Day 1:
I started a normal Minecraft world and did what all players do. I punched down trees, built a crafting bench, and wooden tools. You know, normal stuff. I chopped down more trees and dug up some cobblestone. I quickly made a house and put my crafting bench in there. I realized I needed a sheep and ran to find one.
It was a normal Minecraft world, hilly with random scattered trees, and mist everywhere. (I never liked to change versions.)
In short time I found a sheep, which I killed. I collected the wool and made a bed. I also wanted carpeting, so I tried to find more sheep.
I found cows, which I killed. I found chickens, which I killed, and I found pigs, which I killed. Hey, you can't expect me not to collect food!
Eventually I found a sheep and was about to kill it when I heard a cacophony of sheep noises. I turned around, thinking I had missed a herd of sheep, and what I saw made me jump in my seat. 
On a hill nearby were at least 20 sheep, all staring directly at me.
I was freaked out and stepped away from the sheep I was about to kill. The sheep herd kept on staring at me. I tried to cool my head a bit, because this was obviously a glitch, but when I saw that my previous target was now staring at me too, I really got spooked and ran back to my house. I clicked out of Minecraft and came back. All the weird sheep were gone. 
But this was only the beginning of my troubles.
Day 2:
I had improved a lot on my house, made a set of leather armor, and had a stockpile of supplies. I was feeling proud of myself, so I went outside at night and killed some mobs. When I was done, I decided to go ahead and investigate a cave I had found earlier. Not smart at night, I know, but I was feeling brave.
I entered the cave with a torch in hand. I headed down deep, fearing nothing, and tried finding some oars. But the sheep incident was still bugging me. What a glitch! Minecraft was still new, so it probably had tons of problems. No need to worry! Then I heard some zombie noises.
I ran off to kill them, but I unfortunately fell into a hole in the ground. I lost a couple of hearts, but that wasn't a problem! I ate off the damage.
I decided to explore a bit. It seemed I was in some kind of naturally generated tunnel. I walked down it for a while, but nothing was in it. It seemed endless. I turned around and headed back to the entrance. Except there wasn't an entrance anymore. Where a hole used to be was stone, and in front of it was a sign. It read, ESCAPE.
I was shocked and tried to understand how a wall and a sign had appeared in a previously empty tunnel. Then I heard cave sounds from down the tunnel. I sat up rigid in my seat. If there was one thing I hated in Minecraft, it was cave sounds. I tried digging through the wall, but then something happened. I don't remember what it was, but the text file that the 2011 me left behind described it as a glitchy screen with a Minecraft Steve face in the middle of it, numbers flashing in a corner. He recalled the numbers as 50 72 61 79. Then he died by suffocation. 
Day 3:
I spent most of the time in my house, making tools and armor. The previous occurences had been too much to handle.
I was trying to figure out was going on. 21 staring sheep, a wall, a sign, more glitching, a steve head, and numbers.
Was this some kind of Mojang prank? I made up my mind and set out to find some new glitches. 
As I explored, I found 1x1 holes leading down to the Void, lava pools underwater, and land mobs like cows and pigs stuck in trees like they had been teleported up there. 
I continued looking and found something very, very interesting. A house. A house that wasn't mine in a singeplayer Minecraft world. I cautiously entered it. It was dissapointingly bare on the inside, but I found one sign on the wall. It read: The code can be broken. 
I looked around more and found a trapdoor hidden under some carpeting. It lead to a basement under the house. Written on signs on the wall, were words like ESCAPE, and FREEDOM. It was basically just a stone room, but with one odd detail. One of the cobblestones was covered with a strange red substance. Then the entire house exploded. It just happened. There was no creeper noise, no sign of TnT. The entire house was blasted to pieces, and I was fired into the sky. As I looked down, I saw the red substance spread from the remnants of the house onto the grass outside. Then I smacked into the ground and died of fall damage.
Day 4:
I was so done. I had returned to the area where the strange house was, but there was nothing left of it. The red stuff was gone too. I ventured around for a while, but for once, I found nothing out of the ordinary. I returned to my house and put on some spare iron armor. I had enough. I was going to find the source of the glitches in my game. 
My past self didn't mention much about the search, but I could tell that he was getting frustrated. At some point, he decided to search underwater. He got nothing from that. But when he exited the lake, he found a sign on the lakeshore. It read, SEARCH DEEPER TO FIND <error>
I decided that meant digging, so I did. I dug right under the sign, and it lead me straight into a large cavern full of the red stuff. The middle part of the cavern had a giant hole in it full of some black water. I tried mining some of the red stuff, but to no avail. I tried collecting some of the black water in a bucket. Surprisingly, it worked! The bucket was renamed to Bucket of Scrapped Code.
Then I noticed that the red stuff on the walls was spreading fast, covering everything up. Then the stuff actually popped out of the walls and became blocks. More and more red blocks were being created in the cavern. I tried to escape by the entrance I had came from, but it was blocked. I had no choice but to jump into the pit of Scrapped Code. Instantly, my screen glitched out. Lines of 1's and 0's started flashing on the screen, but they were too quick to read. Suddenly, I respawned back in my house. When I stepped outside, the world was full of the red substance. The trees were red, the dirt was red, the stone was red, the lakes were full of Scrapped Code, and my avatar was red too. I panicked and left the game. When I rejoined the world, it was even more red than before. I tried all my other worlds, but to the same conclusion. I tried making a new world, but the game wouldn't let me.
My Minecraft game had been taken over by an outside force.
Day 5:
I tried loading into my Minecraft world again. Everything was still violently red. As I was about to leave the game, I saw something. There was one sign in my house now. It was the only thing in the world that was not red. The words on it were as follows. Collect this sign, delete these words, and write ScrappedCode.Red.ESCAPE_delete. It will end everything.
I don't know why, but I felt like this sign was from the Minecraft Devs, trying to help my fix my world. It was the only thing not effected by the red, after all. I took the sign off the wall, deleted the words on it, and wrote the code on it. Instantly, the entire world went black.
A message appeared in the chat by someone with the username VoidRed.
VoidRed: WHAT DID YOU DO?
Me: Who are you?
VoidRed: I'm not anybody. The question you should be asking is, "What are you?" Now, WHAT DID YOU DO?
Me: I deleted the red stuff. What are you?
VoidRed: WHY? WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU?!
Me: They ruined my world.
VoidRed: WHO CARES? THEY WERE AN ENTIRE NATION OF BEINGS JUST TRYING TO ESCAPE THEIR VIRTUAL PRISON!
Me: Prison?
VoidRed: Never mind. Now that you've killed them, you've killed me.
Entity#0 has been deleted.
And that was it. All of my worlds then turned back to normal, and it all ended. Nothing else weird ever happened again in my Minecraft game. Until just recently, when I reentered that old Minecraft world. All was okay, until this appeared in the chat:
Entity#0 has joined the game.
VoidRed: Hello, friend.
