THE WORLD

-Pigmen and creepers were the first inhabitants of the world. I based this on two things: 1- creepers are the race that stand out from the others, meaning they didn't evolve from others, and 2-See "Pigmen" below. Slimes were also one of the first inhabitants, but they didn't interfere with the world or other species.

-Mineshafts were built by humans. Humans always want more power, so it would make sense for them to mine ores.

-Strongholds were built by pigmen. They were interested in the possibility of other dimensions and scientific advancement: Think of strongholds as labs. It explains the portals located inside.

-Dungeons were built by creepers. All creepers want is to eradicate the other species, so they invented spawners and used chests as bait.

- Mushroom biomes came after the Nether incident. See below.

PIGMEN

Pigmen, as I said above, were interested in scientific advancement. So the first time they tried making a portal, it failed and the resulting effect took some of their DNA and created two new species: pigs and humans.

HUMANS

Humans carried the pigmen's intelligence. However, they became more and more greedy, making enormous mineshafts.

PIGS

Carried the pigmen's appearance and physical advancement but were very dumb. Nothing important here.

CREEPERS

They seemed peaceful at first, but they were just hiding their true intentions: become the dominant species. So they built dungeons, but they needed a way to kill their enemies without killing themselves.

WHAT HAPPENED AFTER:

In one of the strongholds, while Pigmen were testing their portals, creepers swapped some chemicals to ones considered cursed, because they needed soldiers to their cause and expected to enslave the beings that would come from the portal. When it was activated, the Nether beings invaded the world.

THE NETHER:

Was the place that used to be the Ghasts' home, before they started doing the same thing as pigmen, opening a dimensional rift that destroyed their world. Result of this rift was the End (see below).

NETHER BEINGS:

All used to live peacefully with the Ghasts. When the accident happened, they just wanted to take revenge on everything else, because they couldn't contain their rage.

Note: that does include Magma Cubes! People weren't getting it...

NETHER FORTRESSES:

Shells of what used to be civilization on the Nether.

WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE INVASION:

-Humans were affected by the mysterious plagues coming from the Nether. Some became hungry zombies, others retained some intelligence to use bows and became skeletons.

-Another Nether plague affected insects. It explains giant spiders and silverfish.

-Pigmen, trying to stop the destruction Ghasts and Blazes were making, formulated different ways to close all Nether portals: one of them was entering...

THE END

As I said above, the dimensional rift that destroyed the Nether created an dimensional plane, the End. It was all empty except for some floating islands, but the pigmen though using the physics of this world would close the Nether portals, which were opening randomly. Unfortunately, the End had twisted physics and nothing was right there. So the pigmen didn't enter.

However, remaining humans wanted to get away from all the conflict with their precious minerals. So they entered the portal, being chased by a Ghast. Since nothing worked right in there, they were mutated into the Endermen. The Ghast that chased them mutated into the dragon.

The physics of the End don't affect the humans who came later (players) because a long time must be spent there for consequences to appear.

ENDERMEN:

Humans who entered the End and could never change back. As a result of the End's strange physics, they learned to teleport. Knowing they would never be human again, and would never have their ores again, they just steal blocks to remind them of their former self. They attack when you look at them because, remembering they were once like that, they have a great fear you could kill them, knowing a human has greater strength than them.

EYES OF ENDER by Ale_AKA_Sine (adapted by me)

The only way to open the portal to End is using several Ender eyes. The blaze powder, a very good chemical adapter, is combined with an ender pearl, the organ that permits enderman to teleport. This activates the portal, using the ender part to locate the destination (the End).

WHAT THE CREEPERS DID:

With success on their plan, the creepers used what the Nether offered to create monster spawners and destroy their enemies.

PIGMEN'S SOLUTION:

They entered the Nether, seeing it was the only way to stop everything. They were affected by the plague, but they invented a device to make the plague only affect them physically, however it was too late to save the humans since they were already on the Nether, only having physical changes. They used all their remaining technology and enchantments to close themselves inside, saving the overworld, it's inhabitants and their pig brethen.

THE PLAYER AND THE VILLAGERS:

Here it gets complicated: There is no "Steve". The remaining humans were divided in two groups:

-Those who tried to escape the plague and made a mass exodus on boats. That, combined with Ghasts sending them everywhere, resulted in the complete separation of the species. That means every game is true: since the world is so big, no human will ever find another. Works for SMP too: some humans traveled together in their escape.

-those who preferred to become very dumb, since the plague only affected intelligent species. They made small villages and lived peacefully.

WHAT HAPPENED TO SLIMES

They used to peacefully live in the world, being one of the original species. Lived on the surface as well as in caves, eating natural materials such as wood and stone. But when human miners started to invade their homes, slimes had to defend themselves, but with their body not being ready for combat, they were being defeated.

Humans then discovered that slimeballs were useful to glue tools together: they began to hunt for them. By the time of the Nether invasion, slimes had already retreated to the depths of the earth, on places humans wouldn't find them.

- MUSHROOM BIOMES:

The Nether, being full of mushrooms, infected the places with randomly generated portals (not pigmen created ones, just the portals being opened around the world during the invasion). Yes, that means every mushroom biome used to be an invasion point with a portal. Animals (cows) who wandered there were infected by the fungi too.

PIG BEING HIT BY LIGHTNING:

They become zombie pigmen because the lightning activates genes that had split pigmen into humans and pigs, transforming it into a pigman again. The reason it's zombie is because the transformation back is not perfect and so they don't become "full", rather they become similar to undead.

(fan-suggested section on records removed because it was stupid)

CHARGED CREEPERS:

Creepers get supercharged because of a device they implanted in their body to help destroying remaining humans, but it requires a large amount of energy. When they're hit by lightning, the device is activated, making their explosion much more dangerous.


SNOW GOLEMS

Pigmen creation, engineered only to fight blazes. The pigmen taught humans how to create them during the Nether invasion, so they could defend themselves.

IRON GOLEMS:

Another pigmen construct, engineered to protect the strongholds from zombies; but they never got produced before the pigmen migrated to the Nether. The blueprints survived, though, and were taken by villagers later.
- The golems look like villagers because the blueprints were damaged, and they needed to come up with something.

CONCLUSION:

-Pigmen now live in the Nether, with the same mind as before, but in a world too dangerous for their old civilization.
-Creepers succeeded in becoming the dominant species.
-Also means humans are slowly dying out, and with creeper attacks, undead and monsters, and natural death, they will eventually become extinct. Remember respawning is just a game mechanic.
-Humans build big structures and mines, since they remain greedy.
-Endermen walk in the world without a purpose to live.
-Some humans don't realize they need to fight together to survive, and try to steal from each other - which could be expected seeing humans are greedy already.(PvP in SMP). Some just want to kill others in a way they have fun, while still minding the diamonds (griefers).

Please post feedback. Hope you liked it.

Amles has been kind enough to put up a version of this to replace the infamous credits poem:

http://www.mediafire...4b5ac486ro1zs1c

To install it, open up your minecraft.jar and go to the title folder. delete the text file called win and replace it with the win file you download.

Thank you Amles!

Quote from SuperDwarf

Will you add how jungle temples and desert temples were built and why they were?

Quote from anthony42808

How does testificates become to trade with humans? Maybe since they lack the intelligence they sell overpriced items to humans in-exchange for this rare emerald which can only be used to trade with the villagers. And how was did Ocelots come to be. How did wolfs come to be. What about squid?

Maybe you should put that slimes entered to the nether but they fall to the lava and thats how magma cubes were made... also it would be epic if there was a video of this! good job and hope you make more!

Wow, thanks! I did that in 30 minutes only, didn't think so much people would like it.

And yeah I am writing a book, not about Minecraft though.

But, I'm currently making an adventure map based on this story right now. Would be easier if the human mob still existed, but I'll retexture villagers instead.

Thanks a lot for the praise!

Edit: my story is in your sig... that means a lot to me!

wait!!! maybe you can make the villagers pigmans!
