Notes:
Today I started work on a mob most unheard of, a "friendly mod". I'm excited and I can feel as if it's going to be a hit!
Journal:
I fell in love with Minecraft after the first block. I've always wanted to create something so I figured a little companion like mod would be fun to do. I asked a close friend of mine to help me, and he agreed. He's a bit of a code monkey while I mostly focus on design. I decided for a feline, to rival the wolves in the game. More specificity, a cat. It would be the first known mod, nay first known mob that would be friendly to the player at start.
Changelog:
07/10/2009
v 0.05
+ Sounds created
+ Model added
.
Notes:
We hit a milestone, sounds were done smoothly, yet they did prove to be a challenge. The model could use some work, I may have fudged up on the legs.
Journal:
With having no cat around, I couldn't have just recorded one, most likely would have turned out badly as I don't even own a decent microphone. So, I may or may not have "liberated" a few sounds from the internet. Oh well.
Changelog:
07/14/2009
v 0.10
+ Textures created
- Model edited
+ Scripting started
Notes:
The model was fixed up, a bit more cat like now. Decided to start on the textures now, figured to make the cat a black and white tomcat. The cat's now ingame, but it doesn't really do anything.
Journal:
I remember a cat I had with from childhood, he was like my best friend. His fur was pure snow white, with just some black markings here and there. Truthfully the main reason behind this was to relive my childhood, playing with my fluffy cat. If there is an afterlife, I bet he's smiling. If a cat could, that is.
Changelog:

Notes:
My friend just up and quit. He didn't even say why, Didn't talk much but he seemed to be in a hurry. I was handed over what was currently done. Sadly I don't know a thing or two about scripting, so it's pretty much useless. I'll have to find a new member

Notes:
So after a long hiatus, the mod finally resumed. I couldn't find anyone to finish, but my friend luckily came back. He told me something about a family emergency and told me to delete the script I currently had. The report was that the new and finished script should be done shortly.

MazZ: Apsalus you sure you finished the scripting?
Apsalus: Of course I have
MazZ: Well I haven't seen anything
MazZ: I don't think you even did squat
Apsalus: How many days have passed?
MazZ: About three I think.
Apsalus: Then that's why.
Apsalus logged off.
Changelog:

Notes:
Once day four hit the atmosphere seemed to change. It's hard to explain but I felt like I was being followed. Once night hit my game started to make eerie noises. This however was normal, as I was one of the unlucky few who managed to build their home on top of a cave system. Nothing from my mod yet. I'll give it one more day before I contact him again.

Notes:
The sounds seem to be glitched, as it seems like they are following me. I'll just submit a bug report to Mojang or something. Day six came, and with it my game screen started to act up. All warpy and wavy, as if I was standing in a Netherealm portal. I'm even hearing knocking at my shack's door, and scratches at the windows. Going to stop at day seven. Apsalus has some explaining.
Chatlog:
MazZ: Apsalus what exactly did you do?
MazZ: I have yet to see the cat, but my game seams to be messing up.
MazZ: I know you're there man, answer me!
Apsalus has logged off.

Notes:
Well the sounds and screen glitches stopped, that's good I guess. Day ten came with a little surprise. While I going to one of my shack's windows, something came up on the other side. Made me almost jump out of my chair. The eyes, it looked like it didn't have any. It was all black, with small white pupils. The face was in a creepy slasher like smile. A small uneasiness fell over me, as if something was telling me it knew I could see it. But that's just impossible. It's a game character! I think. I have a feeling Apsalus behind this, and when I get my hands on him I'm going to, I don't even know what.
Chatlog:
MazZ: Well this is great.
Dr. Panis: What now?
MazZ: Something happened in my game. Got frickin scared by something Apsalus may have done. I can't even get a hold of him.

The noises have seem to come back, and I think it's following me but this time it's not just noises. It sounds like words. I can't understand them but I know it's words. I think this mod may be messing with my sanity, as I'm starting to have the same feelings outside the game. It may sound crazy, but what if that thing is real. It can't be. Apsalus is a prankster.

While the "oddities" in Minecraft have stopped, I still hear the voices. Sometimes it seems to follow me, yet when I turn around there is nothing there. It's even happening ingame.

v 0.20
+ Resumed playing
Notes: While returning from a cave in Minecraft, I come to my blocky home to again find my door open. I drew out my sword, to find nothing inside. It was getting dark, so I decided to rest my character. As soon as it fell dark something appeared at the end of the bed. It was the same thing I saw peering through my window. I have a bad feeling that it learned how to use doors. After awhile the screen went black, and my character woke up to daytime. I looked around, nothing was there. I decided to quit for today.
Journal:
At 1:00 AM I awoke from my bed, I was paralyzed as I felt something gaze at me. I looked around the room, and that's when I saw it. It's not just in Minecraft anymore. It stood there, at the foot of my bed, it's sunken giant black pit of eyes, with what I assume was a white pupal, staring into what felt as my very soul. It had hair, jet black, its face a permanent cheshire smile. It showed its teeth, while uttering what seemed to be a laugh. I looked away from its face. The body looked mangled and thin, deep cuts were around the body with what I thought were ragged black robed draped on its frame. It was exactly what I saw in the game, only real. I blacked out, and when I came it was daylight.
08/22/2009
Journal: I tried to leave to go somewhere today, but I couldn't. The door that separated this house from the outside world acted as if it was locked from the outside. I gave up after a few minutes of trying to bust the door down, the only result was me hurting myself. While heading to the PC I could have sworn I heard movement. I started Minecraft, hoping that maybe, if I somehow beat this new mob, that it will leave me alone. I started the world, and loaded at my home. I stocked up on everything. Food, armor, weapons, I was ready. As I headed for the door, I tried opening it. It wouldn't budge. I tried to break the door, I only broke my sword. I tried breaking the walls, same result. As I was about to break the window, something stopped me. There it was, on the other side, mocking me. It was disturbing, but it was getting jollies from seeing me struggle. I heard a laugh from behind me. Not in Minecraft, but from where I sat. I turned around, nothing was there. When I went back, the face was gone from the window. I packed my things back into the chests. While I was halfway through, I heard the door in my Minecraft home open and shut. I ran there fast, I was staring at the door, then with a loud swipe, my character fell over dead. Minecraft closed itself and that was that. And that's when I realized. Everything that has happened in Minecraft, happened to me a day later in real life. Tomorrow I'll die, but I won't go down without a fight dammit. The creature taunted me with a message, a new one. It was hard to make out, but I think it told me it's one weakness.. knowing now is too late. I type this hoping that if I fail, one will succeed. He can only be in one "world" at a time. If he's in Minecraft, he can't be in our world. If I only found this out sooner.

I awoke from my sleep to hear my bedroom door open. I was ready. The day before I had stashed a revolver under my pillow.
