The Griefed Hacker

I never thought that I would share this... story. Me and my friends swore that we wouldn't, in fear that he would notice and come for us. Even now as I type this a chill runs down my spine. Well, I guess I better start at the beginning.
It was May of 2013, and I was only 15 at the time, a young teen. I had been a fan of the game Minecraft ever since early 2012, and by now I loved the game. By playing it I met 2 people I became friends with. For their protection I'll call them Matt and Jon. In March 2013, 1.5 aka "The Redstone Update" was released. We were excited, and we even payed to open a private server. After 2 weeks we had made decent progress in our world. We had full enchanted diamond armor and weapons, and we finally built our large base in the side of a cliff. We loved it. Now we were preparing for the fight with the Ender Dragon. All we needed were a few more healing potions, and for some more wheat to grow so we have more food in the End.
However, we were getting burnt out on the server. We had been playing almost nonstop for days now. We decided to join a public survival server. While we were looking around, we found a desert temple. After taking all the loot and TNT, we found a big, fancy looking house. We knew what we had to do then. It was like fate. We placed the TNT in his home, lit it, and got out of there. We watched the whole building be destroyed, and after laughing a bit we left the server, though I saw a dark figure standing on the ruins of the house just a moment before I left. We didn't think anything about it, as it was just a funny prank. Nobody got hurt.
A day later we had rejoined our server, and we were getting ready for the End. But while fighting some mobs, Jon's enchanted diamond sword broke. Unfortunately, we had exhausted our stock of diamonds, so he had to find 2 more diamonds. All 3 of us were annoyed, since getting more diamonds would require spending time in 'The Maze' which was a nickname for our mine. The mine had this name for a good reason too. It was deep, and had many tunnels in it from us trying to find Diamonds. While none of us wanted to go back in there, we didn't want our friend to go in alone. Besides, maybe if all three of us are in there we'll find diamonds easier.
A while later, I found a vein of 4 diamonds, and Jon found 3. I was happy since I would be able to make a new pick, since my current one was about to break. We briefly celebrated before we started our journey back to our base. But before I could even walk, someone new joined the server. I was surprised and a little annoyed, thinking that Jon or Matt had invited someone to our server that was just for us. But this thought shattered when I saw they said. Both of them were surprised that someone had joined. I asked them if they had told anyone about the server. They replied with no.
I said "Who are you? And how did you join?". The intruder replied with "You blew up my house. Do you know how long it took me to build that? WEEKS."
"I worked so hard to work on that. And you took my stuff too. My enchanted diamond armor? That took a long time too!"
My friends didn't reply. I was trying to figure out how he got in. The server was private, nobody else besides us knew about it.
"You destroyed everything. So I'm going to destroy your base."
After a moment, we began running to the entrance of the mine. I was terrified. When we reached the entrance we noticed it was blocked off by obsidian. We slowly broke the obsidian. After the 1st block broke I could see the same dark figure from the video in front of our base. I got a much better look at him. His skin was eerily simple. He was almost completely pitch black, but with a simple white smile and dots for eyes. He looked at me, and then left the game. Mere moments after this, another obsidian block broke, allowing us to exit the mine. Surprisingly our base was still there, in the same condition it was when we entered the mine. We looked at it for a moment before running to the door. We wanted to make sure he didn't destroy anything upstairs.
We opened the doors and stepped in. The next few seconds went by slowly for me. We heard two clicks. For half a second I wondered what the noise was. I looked to Matt, and he was facing down. I looked at the floor. Pressure plates. For what felt like minutes, I stood there in horror. All of a sudden, I heard a huge BOOM noise, and my computer lagged. I had died. And my base was in ruins. Matt and I were the ones furthest into the house, and we both died. Jon barely survived with half a heart. I respawned and immediately ran to the base, or what remained of it. Jon was eating some bread and after a moment Matt returned too. We discussed what happened and decided that he was some sort of hacker that hacked one of our computers and got in. After investigating the remains of our base, weary of any traps, we assessed the damage.
It was clear, most of our stuff was gone. Even our things in the basement were destroyed. With me and Matt's armor and weapons gone, we would have to go mine for diamonds again. We decided not to do anything about the hacker, because we didn't really know what to do about him. We hoped that now that he had his revenge he would leave us alone. Luckily for us, Jon had some iron ingots, so we made some iron pickaxes and went back into the mine to try and find more diamonds, while Jon would try to gather some food and repair the house. Later that day, we met up in our semi-repaired house, made some enchanted diamond gear, and prepared for the ender dragon battle.
We each signed off and went to bed. Little did we know that we wouldn't fight the dragon.
The next morning, the sky was dark and raining. We rejoined the server and began our search for the end portal. Within 10 minutes we found the stronghold. After another 8 minutes we found the portal. Matt put the eyes of ender in, and the portal opened. We jumped over the portal, ready to fall in and start our battle with the Ender dragon. But before we fell in, something broke the portal. We fell into the lava pool under the portal, and we could see the hacker watching us. We died and respawned, but immediately we were teleported away. We were teleported away, and we found ourselves in narrow walkways. The walls were stone, and glass separated us, the glass extending down all the way to 3 chests, one for each of us.
We were shocked and scared. Slowly we began to walk down the path towards the chest. There was little light in here, and I could barely see the chest. We finally reached them. We opened the chest. From now on, I can only speak of my experience. In the chest was a single book. It had no title. I took it out and opened it. On the first and only page there was what looked like a link to a website. I didn't want to look it up, but my curiosity was eating me. I reluctantly searched it, and it lead me to several images.
To my terror, the first image was a photo of my house. But that wasn't it. The door was blue. You may be asking why that has to do with anything.
My dad just painted it blue a couple days ago.
I didn't want to look at the next pictures, but I did. They were pictures of my parents, myself, and even my dog. The last picture wasn't a photo of my house or even a person. It was words.
"DO IT AGAIN. AND I WILL COME FOR YOU." In red text, with my exact address below it, and the time I got home from school everyday. My dad wouldn't be home for 2 hours, and my mom 5 hours. Leaving plenty of time for this person to come into my house and do... whatever to me. To say I was terrified would be an understatement. I thought about telling my parents, but they were already busy and I, being a stupid teenager, didn't want to worry them with it.
I signed off and messaged Jon and Matt. Jon said the same thing happened with him; there were photos of his house, family, and cat, with similar text. Matt replied a few minutes later. Matt had the same thing happen to him, but when he looked out the window he saw a black car with dark windows. He looked into the car, and could just barely make out a dark silhouette that looked like it was looking at him. Matt said the guy in the car drove away not long after.
I don't remember what we did afterwards, but I do remember that something happened to Matt's mom. A week after the hacking, Matt's mom was attacked by someone after getting out of her car. She survived the attack, but we all wondered if it was the hacker who did it. We believe so.
After all of that we sort of just went our own ways. Summer was ending and we would have to go back to school, which meant less time for Minecraft. Though none of us really wanted to touch Minecraft after all of that. We stayed in contact, but we didn't really do anything together after that. It's been over 8 years now, and I'm an adult. We talk a bit every now and then. Matt became pretty paranoid for a while, but got some help with therapy. Jon dealt with it well, since his dad was a cop. I was scared for a month before completely forgetting about it. I even play Minecraft sometimes, though I don't like playing the older versions.
I just now remembered today, when I saw a black car with dark windows slowly driving past my house.
