The Broken End is an intelligent and exceptionally dangerous Void Creature. It is known that he is lower in authority than Integrity and most likely carries out Integrity's orders.
The full extent of his power and abilities are not fully known, but judging by Revuxor's intervention when the player is killed by The Broken End, he is capable of causing some sort of irreversible damage to players.
He has the ability to interfere with game mechanics to some extent; not as extensive as Integrity, but he is capable of preventing players from sleeping via the err.endisnear error and is capable of causing a minecraft.chatengine failure.
On the server, The Broken End first appeared on 01.11.2018, when his arrival caused the server's chat to malfunction. No one was able to talk to one another, and players were forced to communicate through signs. He then ambushed xXram2dieXx on 04.11.2018, killing him.
¶ Appearance
The Broken End is a pitch-black, towering creature made of haphazardly entwined wires. He stands 18 blocks tall and has an imperfect triangle-shaped head.
Though he resembles other Void Creatures in appearance, he is larger and has what seems to be three additional wire limbs coming out of his back.
He has a single white dot eye in the middle of his head. When enraged, he has 12 chaotically located red eyes with black irises.
¶ Behaviour
The Broken End can only spawn during the 2nd stage of the Moon's corruption.
While The Broken End is present, he will cause err.endisnear error when attempting to sleep and a minecraft.chatengine failure when trying to chat.
¶ Stalk
The Broken End will spawn standing on the ground and watching the player.
His appearance will be accompanied by a sudden start of rain and a stop of the daylight cycle, with the doDaylightCycle gamerule set to false.
If the player looks at The Broken End while within 75 blocks of him, he will disappear and one of the following will happen:
- With a 70% chance, he will reappear in his Chase behaviour after 25 seconds.
- With a 30% chance, a Physical Stacktrace block will replace the block he stood on.
He will disappear 15 minutes after he spawns, setting the doDaylightCycle gamerule back to true.
¶ Chase
The Broken End will begin to chase the player.
When he just appears, he will play theendisnear.ogg and set the time of day to midnight.
The Game Menu will be unable to be opened, rendering the player unable to pause the game, change options, or quit the world.
The Broken End will break most blocks he runs into, with the exception of some natural blocks such as dirt and stone.
The Broken End will replace all water he encounters with cobblestone, effectively bridging over it. The bridge is 10 blocks wide and long, centered on the block underneath him.
The Broken End will give the player Darkness and Mining Fatigue effects.
All iron golems and boats within a 10-block-radius of The Broken End will be killed.
The player's screen will be covered by a kind of animated black web that will change at high speed, significantly obscuring the player's vision.
Every 5 seconds each of the following will happen:
- theendisnear.ogg will play;
- With a 70% chance, the player's camera will be forced to look at The Broken End;
- With a 70% chance, a small black box will appear at the bottom of the screen for 0.5 seconds, and the time of day will be set to midnight;
- With a 70% chance, a small black box will appear at the right side of the screen for 0.5 seconds, and the time of day will be set to day;
- With a 70% chance, a static image with hard-to-read words “WE CAN HEAR YOU” will appear on the player's screen for 0.5 seconds, and the time of day will be set to day;
When the player is killed by The Broken End, he will play nullkillsplayer.ogg and the player will be kicked from their world with the message "Here I am." and banned.
He will disappear 50 seconds after spawning.
¶ Notes
- If the player types "The Broken End" in the chat, Circuit will reply with "Administration."
- The Broken End's speech, thebrokenendspeech.ogg, was revealed by wendigodrip, where he monologues about the fate of previous players. It is suspected that this speech will take place somewhere near the mod's narrative end.
- The spread of Physical Stacktrace blocks can be stopped by quickly removing the blocks on the same layer before the spread becomes unmanageable.
- From 1.9.7 onwards, if the player tries to enable devmode and enters the code 544253, 1000 The Broken Ends will instantly spawn on the player's location.
