#minecraft void

Build I did for a little Minecraft video series.

My feet dangling off the edge of the End Stone platform that once held the All-powerful Ender Dragon, I sighed. Looking down, I gazed at the black nothingness below me, the void.

The void was a myth in the overworld. A legend, like the Order of the Stone. However, this legend was never proven. Because, once you fell into the void, you never came back. You didn't respawn, everything was over.

Grabbing my elytra, and setting them snugly on my back, I decided to find an answer to the legend. What is the void? Taking a running leap, I dove off the End Stone platform, and started to glide. I took out my communicator, and decided to type out my observations, and send them back to the overworld before I died. Communicator in hand, I dove into the void head on.

The first thing that I noticed was that the void... was deep. It was about a thousand meters in when I first started to feel the effects. Weakness. my legs felt numb, and I was starting to grow tired. But, I knew that I had to keep going. I was not going to chicken out.

Then came the regret. Why am I down here? I shouldn't be doing this at all! Even if it's to prove some myth! I can't respawn after this, so why even do it in the first place! But, I kept on pushing. I was documenting each and every second in my communicator.

I was just about to give up, and fly back to the End Stone platform, when something grabbed my leg. It was painful, like I was dying a thousand deaths. I looked down, and saw a piece of the void swallowing me up, bit by bit.

Fumbling with my communicator, I snapped a picture, tears streaming down my face. By that time, the void had almost swallowed me whole. I sent my last message up to the overworld. My observations, a picture, and a warning.

It is extremely dangerous but in the way something like a radioactive inanimate object or deep, crushing water is. There is no consciousness or maliciousness to it, the Void will simply end you if you are a living being and you fall into it.

Undead creatures will not be harmed by it as they have no life to lose. Phantoms can be found flying about and patches of lonely rock and land deep below sometimes house Withered or Undead things.

MIANITE GODS AREN'T THE ONLY ONES!!

Yes, the world's are ancient and the filled with Gods and entities that sadly have been forgotten over time. It's uncommon to meet a worshiper that doesn't follow one of the sibling Gods but it's positive

A small village hidden away on a mushroom island housed a very rare religion.

Void worshiping.

Lady Void is a mischievous, hungry and powerful entity. It was compared to a siren because of its influence over any and all living creatures.

The call of the Void.

Was considered to be the entity reaching out and taunting its followers to join her. Anyone who followed the call of the void ended up giving their life away to her, feeding her.

Void is ruthless and it's everywhere: lava lakes in the nether; the sky; the ocean; even the mind itself housed void according to worshipers. That's why it was worshiped back then, unfortunately fear destroyed everything. Worshiping the Sun or the Moon was less lethal. (but the goddess of Death exists and no one bats an eye.. SOCIETY)

Many other religions developed explanations for the phenomenon. One of the most widely accepted one is: Ianite, though a keeper of the End, was placed in charge of the ocean to keep the Void at bay. Mortals believed the darkness of the ocean was the void spilling out into the overworld from old forgotten end portals trapped deep bellow surface level.

Void song.

Pete was born with an ability to hear the Void. His family believed it was just a child's imagination being too reactive to the worship around him. But he was on the same soul wave as the Void itself. It's an extremely rare phenomenon to be born on the same soul wave as a deity. Such mortals always went on to become the right hand of the deity and was valued as a bride between the God and the mortals.

Void worshiping is such an old practice even Void itself gave up on trying to reach anyone herself, she just sang and sang her endless sad song calling anything that could hear her to come merge with her, to feed her.

She sung beautifully, truly a siren but Pete never had the urge to follow. Until she realized she had an audience.

For millennia she wasn't able to connect with her worshipers, fearmongering and deliberate erasure destroyed her presence as a Goddess. Without power of the rituals and offerings she was reduced to just an entity. Her worshipers carried on what was left of the religion, not enough to nurture Void back to its glory but enough to keep her a sentient being.

Her first intent with Pete was to guide him to her, to the End and consume him. But Pete never understood her call. Only enjoyed the melody of her voice. A language barrier stopped her mischievous hunger. Instead her mission became to restore the language and traditions of the past, to nurture herself back to glory.
