These Stars Are on the Rise

Six years after the sudden shutdown of a cursed Minecraft server known only as the Sinister SMP, a group of former friends and elite streamers receive an anonymous invitation to return for one final session. The group-Zach (RedVex99), LanaCube, LilGhast, and others-were once the most-viewed players on the internet, until the server mysteriously crashed during a livestream, resulting in digital corruption, memory loss, and the disappearance of their leader: Tyler.

Unknown to the world, Tyler's consciousness was never lost-it was trapped inside a stone block deep within the bedrock layer of the server. As the players log in and begin to explore the once-familiar world, they find a landscape glitched and warped by time. Structures are half-loaded, mobs flicker in and out, and the once peaceful spawn is now overrun by vines and flickering command blocks.

Slowly, they realize they're being watched.

Through pulsing redstone signals and cryptic in-game signs, Tyler begins to communicate with the group, warning them of an unseen force known only as The Patch-a sentient bug that has embedded itself into the world code. Fueled by rage, betrayal, and grief, The Patch manifests as a corrupted operator who begins to hunt the players one by one, erasing their data and permanently deleting their accounts.

As tensions rise and trust erodes, the remaining players must follow Tyler's encoded messages, decipher ancient redstone trails, and battle both mobs and one another in a twisted version of their past. To stop The Patch and save Tyler, they must retrieve his stone block body and place it on a lost altar hidden in the farthest Nether fortress.

But time is running out. The world is collapsing, reality is fragmenting, and the final respawn has already been used.
