The voice has not visited Steve's universe in months. Steve heard "I'm gonna play the snapshots on a test world before playing here again" before the voice left for months.
Throughout those months, tremors were occuring in the world. It was if the world, and the universe even was preparing for an overhaul. Even the atmosphere felt strange. It felt like it was... stretching.
Finally, the voice popped in for some quick gameplay. "Well, I'll have to wait until my test world can be played again". "For now, some 1.16 gameplay". Steve is baffled. The voice says, "Wait, when did I get this netherite armor?". Steve had been strip mining while waiting for the voice's return.
"I should kill the wither". Steve felt scared. He tried doing this while waiting and had to replace every gear piece he had, three times. The voice talked of a "strat" that Steve thought was really useful. So Steve had the confidence and did as he was told to. Defeat the wither using the Nether roof. It was pretty quick and Steve now has a nether star
The voice told Steve to make a beacon using glass and obsidian. He has done so but doesn't have any "silver" blocks that the voice said they needed. Steve rolled his eyes. The voice decided to try "afk" strip mining. So as the voice dissappeared, Steve continued to strip mine.
Little did Steve know, the voice will never came back until the tremors and atmospheric changes would shape the world into a whole different environment
