Emerald Man

== Description: ==
The Emerald Man is a recent discovery in Minecraft. It appears to only spawn inside of Jungle Temple basements, as this is where it is most commonly found. The entity seems to haunt Minecraft 1.12.2 versions, however has only recently began appearing in people’s Minecraft worlds. 
The entity has the skin of the old emerald block, and when it is hit by the player, it drops two - five emeralds. Players may be tempted to damage the creature for free emeralds, however it is strongly advised to not do it. The entity is extremely dangerous and hitting it will lead it to act aggressive towards the player. Players who have attacked the creature state that the creature will augment the world and spawn in a hell/purgatory-scape if hit enough times. The hellscape completely corrupts your world, and the entity will then stalk any players that wander through it. 
Therefore, it is strongly advised that if you do see the creature in a jungle temple, ignore it and to not be tempted for the emeralds. If you leave it alone, the creature will simply remain in the jungle temple, like a statue, waiting for the next unlucky person to find it…
== Story (Recent Sighting Date: 24/01/2024): ==
This story takes place a few days ago.
I had just looked up seeds for Jungle Temples online and wanted to try them out in the game. So I booted up Minecraft 1.12.2 and created a new world. I spawned in a new world and used the coordinates to track down the temple. Finally, after an hour, I found the temple. I went inside and headed down into the basement when I noticed an entity standing where the chest normally was. It had the skin like an emerald block, and was as still as a statue. It made me uneasy.
I hit it once and it dropped an emerald out. I thought it was cool, so I decided to hit it again. Another emerald came out. I thought I had just found an infinite emerald generator in game and thought it was the coolest thing ever. I hit it a few more times till suddenly my game crashed… 
I was disappointed and decided to boot up the game. I wanted to use the emerald generator some more, maybe make a house out of emerald blocks! So I opened the game again and booted up the world.
When I spawned back, the entity was no longer there. I was disappointed and thought it had despawned, so I turned around except now the stairs were gone. There was just a long mossy cobblestone hallway with redstone torches along the sides. I was very scared now. I walked down the hallway until I reached another corner. When I turned it, the entity was there. A glitch filled my screen and suddenly it disappeared.
I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. So with my pickaxe I started to mine my way back to the surface. When I got up, the entire world was on fire and burning. A message appeared in my chat “Are you watching closely?” It didn’t say who it came from but I assumed it was the emerald man. Suddenly, I was teleported into a dark mossy cobblestone room, hundreds of blocks underground. Something was in there with me: The Emerald Man. As soon as I saw it, a strange humming noise started to come from my speakers. It started off low and dull but started getting louder and more distorted. I was so scared I left the world and deleted it just to be safe.
What did I see? The Emerald Man!
