There was once a guy named Notch.
He wanted to create a game. One like no other.
One unique for its special properties. One without a story. 
One where the player could roam around the infinite world around them.
They could dig.
They could build.
They could gather recources, fight monsters and explore.
Or they could fly.
With an infinite amount of blocks.
Never dying. Free to do whatever they wanted.
There would be servers.
Where the player could invite his friends to play with him.
Or there would be games on that server
A server, where everyone
Can build.
Can jump.
Can play.
Can explore.
He added a substance called "redstone'
A subtance where the player could make complex machinery using this substence
Turning on lamps
Opening doors.
Soon, people started to modify this game.
One modification Notch noticed was, the piston mod.
He decided to add pistons into minecraft.
"Minecraft needs a boss"
He decided to make a sky dimension. When the player sleeps, they can wake up in this dimension.
But he didn't like it.
He changed it into "The End"
Where this boss would live
A dragon.
With healing pillars.
When the dragon dies, the player will recive a lot of experience orbs.
And a dragon egg.
Then... Roll The Credits!
