In an unexpected twist, thousands of Minecraft players have been given an exciting opportunity to experience the latest trend in gaming: involuntary malware installation. This surprise comes courtesy of a new mod pack available on GitHub, cleverly masquerading as just another tool for fans to enhance their block-building adventures.

Security experts are describing the situation as a ‘multi-stage attack chain,’ but players are calling it a ‘multi-layer plot twist.’ While happily building pixelated castles and slaying cubic dragons, users are now delighted to discover they might also be participating in a real-world cybersecurity drama. Who knew Minecraft could offer such immersive gameplay?

Authorities encourage players to maintain vigilance, or at least consider downloading some anti-malware software alongside their mods. As for the creators of this threat, they remain as elusive as Herobrine himself, leaving the community to wonder: is it hacking, or just a really advanced form of griefing?
