MCO-351

**Item #:** MCO-351

**Object Class:** Neutral Euclid

**Containment Solution:** To prevent any more entries into MCO-351, Mojang has been alerted to its existence, and will help to ensure all updates and user-created mods include no way to enter MCO-351. The Foundation will also do their best to prevent the creation of an in-game spacetime rip. While all NPCs are permitted to learn about MCO-351, only users who are with the Foundation are allowed to know of its existence. Additionally, experimentation with it is restricted to MCS personnel, and only with approval from the Council of Crafters.

**Description:** MCO-351 is an alternate in-game dimension existing outside the bounds of the main Minecraft server platform, but still in the game. Like other Minecraft dimensions, MCO-351 goes on forever. However, unlike other dimensions, MCO-351 is completely devoid of any and all blocks, entities, items, and natural light, essentially making it an infinitely extending dark void.

MCO-351 is also barely if at all connected to the source with a source connection level (SCL) of nearly 0.05, meaning it contradicts much of Minecraft’s programming. (Normal areas of Minecraft have a level of 1.0 SCL.) The low source connection means that the game progresses at a significantly slower rate, with things such as mining, HP depletion, hunger depletion, and aging of NPCs taking significantly longer in MCO-351, and in-game death is utterly impossible inside, meaning that it is possible to be drained to 0 HP and still survive.

Although, being in MCO-351 cuts off the server connection of anything or anyone, meaning prolonged exposure to MCO-351 will cause the base code of an entity or block to begin to decrease to match the low SCL of MCO-351. This will result in severe damage to it’s model as the very coding begins to be erased. Nevertheless, it is possible for an NPC or User to be in control of their character throughout nearly this entire process, meaning that NPCs cannot die until entirely disintegrated, and a user can remain in control of their character even if it literally disintegrates to the point where it barely even resembles a user, as long as it still has at least 20% of it’s pixels, although their game will spontaneously crash if they lose more than this.

MCO-351 was discovered during testing of an experimental version of the now widely used "Slystone Source Connection Anchor" device. The device was created by Dr. Unit706 Slystone, with the help of NPC researchers Peter Smelter and his wife, Julia Fletcher. During testing, an unexpected emergency involving [DATA REDACTED PER ORDER OF THE COUNCIL OF CRAFTERS] damaging several active SSCA devices. This presumably created a 'tear' in the fabric of Minecraft, which teleported Dr. Smelter into MCO-351, as well as a small section of the SSCA control panel.

Dr. Peter Smelter was long assumed dead, his true fate not being discovered until approximately one (1) real-life month (about six (6) in-game years) after the incident. During testing of improved SSCA technology, the missing panel suddenly reappeared inside Source Connection Testing Facility F, coated with several individual pixels believed to be parts of Smelter. The recording equipment of the panel appeared to still be functional, and contained over 5 in-game years of video and audio recordings made by Dr. Smelter, in which he logged his experiences and discoveries within MCO-351.

Based on the final recordings made my Smelter, it is assumed his body has been mostly destroyed by the lack of Source Energy within MCO-351, and his current fate is unknown. Possible retrieval methods of Dr. Smelter are under consideration by the Council of Crafters.
