as much as i jest about the limitations of minecraft expression i do have to say i am VERY passionate about minecraft body language. there's just something about it. it's so limited but players can express SO much and everybody has their own little body language quirks that you can pick up on really fast. You can generally tell what people are trying to indicate or what irl movement theyre trying to replicate with their avatar. Gesturing to things with their hands or a nod of the head. Fidgeting and shuffling in place. The way you hold items conveying different things. Crouching to show excitement or attention or affection or a hug. like genuinely it's REALLY cool.

I'm imagining a language developed entirely within the universe of Minecraft. Like treating minecraft and its game mechanics as a world yknow. So there'd be no gendered pronouns, right? Because there is no biological sex within species, any two of the same mob can breed, all chickens lay eggs, there is no identifiable males or females in any way. I like to think that there would still be grammatical "gender" in the language, it'd just be based on a different wide grouping of characteristics that conveys important information. For example:

Grammatical genders of passive, neutral, and hostile. Like how they sort the mobs in-game. Cows, fish, villagers, all referred to with the passive pronoun. Zombies and stuff with hostile. Mobs like endermen and golems, you refer to with neutral by default, or if you're encountering a being you're not sure about the aggression levels of. Obviously, pigmen would have an entirely different language, being isolated in the nether, which would just make it more difficult to land on a pronoun for them, given their aggression levels vary so much. Like, what, you only refer to them with neutral pronouns if you're wearing gold? The cultural clashing there would be a lot.

And then, like languages in the real world that apply grammatical gender to EVERY noun, this categorization could be applied to objects as well. Fire is hostile. Trees are passive. You stub your toe on a block of cobble so you yell at the inanimate object with hostile pronouns, it attacked you! Refer to your friends with passive pronouns as a show of affection. Refer to yourself with hostile pronouns to convey you're gonna beat someone up. Options are limitless.

do you ever think about how far the hermits have come. like i started watching in season 7, which came after 5 and 6 made the hermits realize server-wide plotlines can like, happen, but before 8 and especially 9 made them realize they could also hang out with each other on purpose. and i think the style of video hermitcraft tends to do today would be mostly unrecognizable then.

you don't understand: they didn't talk to each other. sure, they did for Big Planned Things, but the vast, vast majority of episodes would only contain One Hermit, that being the guy making the episode. they might see another hermit on-camera but pre-prox chat that didn't mean they could like, talk without joining a skype call, and they often didn't (and even post-prox chat it actually takes a few months in for them to realize they could just... leave prox on and have random drive-by interactions as they may). it was really common in videos and streams to be like "damn. didn't know that was there? i guess someone's been busy? wild." or, just as often, "oh no i didn't know that was there, what if i'm not supposed to show the viewers, i should avoid accidentally learning more!"

and to be clear this was in part because the youtube "meta" was different then, right. like hermitcraft started as basically being a solo letsplay other people happened to build on and has marched steadily closer to being a place coworkers and maybe eventually friends hang from there. but i think in this season 11 world, where basically every hermitcraft video has a second hermit show up at some point, it's just... wild. they like. hang out with each other on purpose. server-wide storylines are not only now the norm but like, mostly don't have half the server ignoring them anymore. they hang out with each other on purpose.

i don't know i just think it's neat. these past years really have been an ideal world for everyone who loves watching the hermits like, hang out as a group, i think.

#it's very crazy#like before interactions were events in themselves#now it's just... normal?#like tango saying the reason he is not building far away or in the end is so that people will stop by while he's working on DO3#he EXPECTS and actively wants people to come and 'bother' him while he makes his big build#hc s11#hermitcraft (via @cat-26)

no this actually explains it so well: "do you want me to do A Collab Episode" used to be a production. it was a rare event. A Collab was like, a specifically planned thing that a hermit would do rarely, and A Collab was also normally the only time they had someone with them.

nowadays, i don't think i've heard anyone ask their audience "do you want me to do more Collabs with that hermit?" anymore. they just... go do it. by bothering them when they're online. it's great.

i was saying to my friend a few months ago that the person who made the proximity chat mod genuinely needs like a noble peace prize they fucking changed the world

Hermitcraft sometimes feels like I let a bunch of rats loose in a semi-controlled environment and I'm studying their behaviours
