The Monster in the Woods is a crossover between Villager News and Minecraft, featured during Minecraft Live 2024. The video concerns a conflict where several villagers investigate a creaking.

Summary

The short opens much like a traditional episode of the show, with villagers mumbling a theme song while holding up signs. Villager No. 5 appears, explaining the interruption as a warning for a "monster sighting." Switching over to Villager No. 9, several villagers of different professions have united to investigate claims by Villager No. 15 of a creature lurking in the woods, which they accuse him of lying about and tease over. In an effort to debunk his fears, the mob of villagers plan on investigating the forest, but are quickly stopped by a witch. Emerging from a hut, she warns that none have "those who enter there never return here," quickly clarifying that this means the path is just the entrance and there's a separate exit.

The villagers make their way into the forest, Villager No. 9 requesting the others keep an eye out for "monsters." He remarks "of course, we know there's no such thing," only for the others to start bringing up established Minecraft characters they consider monsters, such as zombies, skeletons, hoglins, and Steve, which Villager No. 15 asserts look nothing like what he saw. When asked what it looks like, he says it was behind a tree. Villager No. 31 asks if anyone else feels like they're being watched, and vanishes when they're not looking, which Villager No. 9 doesn't believe in spite of their drops being clearly present. The other villagers agree with the skepticism and move on.

As the others carry forward, they come to the conclusion there is nothing in the woods, and pledge to make their way back home. However, they realize they are now lost in the forest, and seek Villager No. 47 for help, only to realize he's suffered a similar fate to No. 31. They hear the creaking creak nearby, as more villagers perish one by one, No. 9 acting oblivious to the very real danger before running away "for unrelated reasons." The camera is dropped on the floor, as the cameraman happens upon the creaking behind a tree and dies. Back in the studio, Villager No. 5 shows concern for No. 9, begging for a response from him, as the creaking pushes forward.
