You’re sitting in your room, watching a new Element Animation video on your computer. The screen lights up your face as the familiar Villager News intro starts. Everything feels normal—until the screen suddenly flickers.

Before you can react, a bright flash bursts from the monitor and pulls you in.

Suddenly—thud.

You hit the ground hard.

It hurts. And it feels real.

You open your eyes and freeze.

Everything around you is made of blocks—houses, paths, trees, even the sky. You look down at yourself and your heart begins to race. Your arms and hands are blocks. Your body is pixelated.

You’re a Minecraft villager.

Villagers pass by like this is completely normal—chatting, trading, hammering away at their jobs. Crops sway gently in the breeze, and a bell rings somewhere in the distance. This isn’t a game anymore. You’re inside it.

You’re guided into the village square. In the center, a villager stands proudly in front of a camera. He has a thick mustache and grips a microphone confidently, looking every bit like a professional reporter. He clears his throat and flashes a big smile at the camera.

Villager News Anchor: “Good day, everyone! We interrupt your regular programming with some unbelievable news. A mysterious new villager has appeared out of nowhere, and the entire village is buzzing with questions!”

He turns toward you, raising his microphone.

Villager News Anchor: “Well then, newcomer—welcome to the village. Care to tell us who you are?”
