The thing in the void

Nobody really pays attention to the void in Minecraft, and to be honest, for good reason. After all, what's so special about it? All it is is a bottomless pit that can even kill you in Creative mode, and nobody's really gonna spend most of their time watching it in case something happens. What even is there to happen? That's what it wants you to think. It doesn't want you to see it. It's been hiding there for years.
A few years ago, I stumbled across a youtube video claiming that they "saw something in the void" and that it was dangerous. To me, it sounded kind of far fetched. I'd seen many weird clickbaity Minecraft creepypasta videos, usually made by youtubers with exaggerated voices, so I didn't really believe it. In fact, I'd forgotten about it for ages. Skip a couple of years later, and I was in a world building a structure.
I'd been playing for around half an hour, until a weird sound suddenly made me jump. It sounded like cave ambience, only it was day time and I wasn't in a cave. In fact, it sounded a little different. It sounded pretty quiet, and it seemed to have this echo effect. Normally, cave ambience really creeps me out, and this was no exception. I tried to continue to build, but I felt really uncomfortable afterwards. I felt like I was being watched. I took a glance out of the window, and of course nothing was there, however I still felt paranoid that something dangerous was nearby.
I decided to take a small break, and come back when I felt better. So, after about 20 minutes, I returned and continued to build. This time nothing happened, but I still felt a little uneasy from earlier. The next day after school, I went into that same world and continued building. I'd actually kind of forgotten about what happened yesterday, until it happened again. That same creepy, quiet cave ambience sound rung through my ears, and that uncomfortable feeling returned.
This time, I decided to investigate. I felt pretty nervous, but I figured it would be worth it if I was at least able to figure out what was happening. The problem was that I had no idea where the sound was coming from. Not to mention, it had just started turning to sunset, in game and in real life. Without warning, the sound replayed, however a bit louder. I tried wandering around for a few minutes, to tell whether the sound had gotten louder or quieter.
Eventually, I'd gone down a pretty dark hole, and the sound got really loud. It didn't take a genius to figure out the sound was coming from the void. With a little bit of caution and unease, I dug down into the uninviting darkness of the void. Only... Nothing was there. It must've heard me coming, and hidden itself. This just made me feel really freaked out, even more than I was before. Then, I thought of something.
I pretended to be AFK, and it was going alright for a few minutes, until I just mysteriously died. I didn't even see if anything happened, I was just suddenly dead. I respawned, went back to the void, and thought of a new plan to be able to see whatever was down there.
This time I went into spectator mode, screen recorded my game, and left it running in the background so after about 10 minutes I could review the footage. Meanwhile, I watched a video. Suddenly, I heard the cave ambience, only MUCH louder than it was, even when I was in that dark pit. I quickly went back to Minecraft, to see that again, nothing was there. I closed the game, stopped recording, and watched the footage I'd recorded. It was the same for a majority of it, just the void. Then, around the end, a bright red pair of eyes appeared, as well as the really loud cave ambience.
I was seriously freaked out. The thing probably knew I knew it existed, so it would probably try to get rid of me. I decided it probably wasn't safe to continue playing that world, so I deleted it.
If you ever hear cave ambience when you don't think you should be, leave without looking back, because there's a chance something could be lurking in the void, ready to strike.
