I can't decode it with my QR reader, is it complete yet?

Yea .. thought so, brilliantly done.  

My compliments to the creator, it was excellently done. At first I thought it was a gimmick, and then I stopped to sleep and started seeing it in my day dream. HeH.

Do not rely solely on Users for solves, double check solves for user errors: #checkuser404 - Does this mean, there are still problems with that part?

finally I can participate  
It helps to be an expert in QR.. I figured out the size, mask and error correction level......



Decoded ....

The "+" is allready faulty... too many errors to complete... sorry

S4VV4S - Looks like you're not enjoying it as much now you don't want to get mine craft to play but i think it's good that different people can use different skillsets to move forward. You were doing some crazy stuff at the start and gave lots of useful ideas.

If the game is to work as a team then the game is progressing as planned.

overall progress notes for those who are just starting up:
- the original image yielded morse code message using the red and green dots as dash/dot and the other characters as delimiters, which translated into "THEY CAN NOT ATTACK WHAT THEY DO NOT SEE" after taking the first letter of each word in the message
- googling the above phrase led us to the minecraft wiki enderman page, and an image that we were able to overlay over the original image, which highlighted certain characters in the puzzle
- manipulation of these characters from the OP image yielded a bitly link to a page with a QR code*.
- the QR code sent us to a page with a binary code which was the IP address of the minecraft server we're currently grabbing QR code fragments from.

a few loose ends:
- there's more characters left over in the original puzzle, it isn't clear if they will or will not be used
- there's a lot of unexplained noise in the original puzzle, which some of us think still implies stenography

Also worth noting is that no step has required cryptographically/mathematical manipulation of any data that we've been presented with. I'm enjoying how OP's ideas have made this a fairly accessible puzzle. I bet she was amused by the somewhat wrongheaded brute force we were applying to it early on.

* IMO, we short-circuited the actual puzzle a bit here here, there was a hint to use the game contra (maybe the well-known cheat code) but we basically ended up dropping a couple characters because they were yellow and then rejiggering the rest. (I'd love an official comment from OP at some point regarding how this step was supposed to be solved, it's the only one that has seemed strange at this point)

hurry up minecrafters i want to join the QR code parts together

Those are 100% QR codes. Now we need to find the other two.

I've made the last one black and white too. Posting both in an imgur album.

Correct.

Full stop

Sorry but your an idiot and there are rules.
Read up on the subject

So, we found a underwater maze and we think that it could be another part of the QR code, however, we need to map it before we can be sure. (You don't have the same view as with the other parts).

EDIT: To the two people above, please quit your useless argument, we are trying to figure out a puzzle here. Thank you.

Yeah, I have, I've played them from the unfiction forum. They're all different. There's no rules, only un-rules.   Suck it up, you big baby.

Yeap....

Start wasting your time as well then

cool game! 

So, what about: Having to play another game to continue another makes me butt hurt to you?
Have you ever played ARGs before?

I think the small pic is a map of the minecraft server itself, showing which quadrants the four QR clues are in.

Dude, don't be so butt hurt. I'm sure this is just a piece of the puzzle. Chillax, bro. http://www.unfiction.com/compendium/2006/11/10/undefining-arg/

more QR code!

Status: 4/4 of the QR code



and 180°



1st part just for reference



If I find more I will edit this post to make it easier.



MC hints:

MC Hint:

Falling through the rabbit hole,
the end is surely nigh.
I turn to take a final glance,
a distant fading sky.



IMHO we will find the final answer "in the end"


Here is the album of the black and white version:

A map maybe?

Just because you and many other people like MC doesn't change the fact that this is not ARG anymore IMO.
Like I said ARGs are based on FREELY available information.
BTW, you seem to have just joined when the game started and actually provided a lot of valuable clues....
Thank you for that
