so i had this wall-e sort of vision for the endermen where they just sort of stack all the blocks they gather, endlessly

but apparently i reinvented the wheel. there’s already a theory that enderman are a mutated/cursed version of the ancient builders. they take and place blocks due to an instinct remembered from the past.

so sometimes, i imagine that endermen gain a little clarity. every so often, this particular enderman remembers how to turn the jukebox on. it listens to music it can’t quite recall. and it builds and builds these nonsensical stacks of blocks because its body had once helped construct civilizations, but now, it has neither the mind nor memory to carry out the task.

This minecraft short comic called "A strange Coast" made by Ian Flynn I believe, I found in a book from my library I work has to be one of the most beautiful and respectful takes on the game.

It understands minecraft so perfectly and doesn't treat it as childishly as the other stories in it did.

And all that within 10 pages and no word spoken.

One major difference between real life physics and Minecraft physics is fluid dynamics. This can be pretty clearly seen in the motion of water and lava, but people forget that air is also a fluid.

What if sounds in Minecraft don't work like normal sounds do? Maybe an enclosed space could function as a sort of "infinite source pool" for sounds. Maybe the loudest sounds can spend untold years bouncing off cave walls, slowly growing more distorted with every reflection. Maybe if you find yourself lost in the caves, you'll hear one of these sounds.

This is one of the most interesting explanations I've heard for cave sounds ever. Way more intriguing than them just being forgotten memories or something like that.
