The Block Corruption is a mysterious, black corruption that exists inside of Minecraft. It originally appeared as an unexplained phenomenon in "The King", which resulted in Gold presumably being deleted while inside of the Minecraft Simulation Booth. It returns in AvM Shorts Season 5, where it appears to be the primary catalyst behinds the events of the game being stuck in hardcore mode.
History[]
The King - AVM Shorts Episode 30[]
The corruption first appeared years prior when Gold was seen trying out Minecraft inside the simulation booth at the city fair. Despite everything going normal at first, an error appeared on the system that caused the Developers to panic and try to force the simulation to shut down. Immediately after realizing this, King Orange saw the Minecraft sun suddenly turn pitch black behind Gold as he was crafting an iron sword.
Noticing the sun's color change, a glitch burst from the sun caused the corruption to begin spreading and infecting everything, making Gold flee as he exited out of the game. However, despite entering the hallway, the corruption was still infecting the simulation as it was powerful enough to make Gold start glitching out and pull him back inside, where the sun's explosion caused the entire simulation to crash, deleting everything including Gold.
Hardcore Manhunt - AVM Shorts Episode 37[]
The corruption returns when The Second Coming is hanging out with Yellow, Red, Blue and Green inside of Minecraft as they wait for Purple. Having fallen asleep, The Second Coming somehow dreams of the corruption infecting the Overworld, as if being alerted to its presence before it reached them. Waking up from his "nightmare", he brushes it off as just a dream as the six go on their way.
Subtle hints to the corruption's incoming arrival are seen when Yellow is using his Staff to change the location of the new house he "built" and eventually, the next day when Green is fighting against some armor stand helpers Yellow conjured to life with the staff, The Second Coming notices a strange rippling effect traveling across the Overworld from an unknown point of origin. The burst becomes stronger as everyone quickly becomes aware of the strange corrupting effect it has on the world, causing a nearby chest to start glitching.
The effect of the corruption is so strong that not even the Command Block in the staff can undo it. Despite Yellow's attempts, he accidentally gets the staff too close to the chest, which allows the corruption to spread over to it and make it go haywire. It begins making random commands, one of them accidentally teleporting King Orange who is nearby to the Farlands, until it eventually sets the game on Hardcore. Not understanding the change to their hearts, Red begins punching Green but is stopped by The Second Coming before he can kill him, due to him having a bad feeling about the change and they decide to test it out on one of the seven armor stands as Green kills them with a Netherite sword and after several seconds, everyone realizes it didn't respawn and that they all have one life only, with the staff's corrupted state rendering it unable to turn back the difficulty.
Despite Yellow supposedly pulling the corruption out of the staff, the staff is disintegrated by the corruption as a result, giving the Helpers the courage to attack the Stick Gang.
Trivia[]
- Although repeated use of the Staff does seem to empower the corruption or at least attract it towards the staff's location, it is not the corruption's source as it existed long before King Orange ever built the Staff.
- For some reason, The Second Coming has a dream of the corruption's arrival before it first appears to the Stick Gang and Purple.
- The origin of the corruption is unknown.
- The corruption might be based upon when your CPU dies while playing Minecraft as it is shown when your CPU dies when playing Minecraft, a black corruption void follows you. This may explain why the corruption appeared when Gold was trying out the simulation booth and due to the repeated use of the staff overworking the CPU of whatever computer is running it at the time.
