Minecraft Piglins fuck me up. Like, they’re one of two/three seemingly sentient species, but there’s clearly something wrong with them.

They’ve got bastions throughout the nether, huge buildings that at one point were clearly lovingly constructed. Not only were these buildings functional (apartment complexes, hoglin stables), but they created art. Not just carvings, but music. Not even villagers have created music discs, only piglins. Piglins also had access to the overworld at some point, they have a number of items (carrots, water bottles, string, iron) that could only have been obtained from the Overworld.

But… something happened. At some point in the past, something happened, and Piglins lost the ability to maintain their buildings. The buildings fell into ruins, and even though the Piglins stayed with the ruins, they couldn’t salvage them. They just wander the broken hallways.

What happened? Well, we don’t know for sure. But… Piglins are afraid of Zombie Piglins. Even though Zombie Piglins won’t attack them, Piglins still try to get away from them. Despite this, Zombie Piglins don’t appear infectious. Piglins don’t even turn into them when they die. Instead, Piglins turn into Zombies when exposed to the Overworld. The Overworld infects them, and unlike Zombie Villagers, there is no cure.

It can’t have always been this way, Piglins would’ve needed to be able to access the Overworld at some point to get materials. But something went wrong. And here you are, exploring the ruins of a society and left wondering what happened. Or maybe more importantly, are you next?

I really wish ppl would stop acting like Minecraft is completely flawless and free of notch's bigotry when the villagers are so obviously antisemitic caricatures of Jewish people

[antimasculist]

it would be so easy to make them non-offensive while keeping the core function they have in game as well!!

you want protectors for the villages? tamed dogs, like the wandering trader's tamed llamas. makes more sense than giving them iron golems when they're shown to have no building abilities, and it isn't antisemitic.

you want them to appear humanoid but not identical to the player? get rid of the big noses and you've got a design that appears humanoid, isn't identical to Steve/Alex, and isn't antisemitic.

you want to keep their trading function? make them trade in resources! emeralds are useless outside of trading and it feels weird and forced to have a currency for the villagers anyway, not to mention the antisemitism of making them hoard precious jewels.

there is no excuse for the fact that these caricatures are still part of the game. Mojang NEEDS to do better. and we as fans NEED to acknowledge the bigotry in the game. no improvements will be made if we just keep ignoring it and pretending it's not there.

the new snapshot (21w07a) changed how ores look.

im kinda glad they’re no longer the same thing recolored but like… damn… thats gonna take a bit to get used to.

for those of you wondering “why”, it seems like its might be so people with colorblindness can tell them apart better, because before they were just the same thing in different colors.

Ok so I watched a stream hosted by one of the devs (xilefian) and cubfan and I want to share some of the interesting things I heard:   -the telescope in incredibly unfinished (xilefian said he was embarrassed they were even showing it off) -the oblong shape of the telescope overlay is unintended -“we all know about optifine and would like to do something beyond that” -xilefian would like to update the sky and give players reason to look at it -cub suggested getting the luck effect by looking at shooting stars through the telescope, which xilefian wrote down as a possibility -the telescope may give blindness if you look at the sun  -higher world height and cubic chunks are both being considered but are unlikely any time soon  -the devs want to eventually add an actual dynamic glow to the squids but it could be added “in a week or in a century”  -the devs are considering ways to keep copper orange  -there are many new big features still unannounced -crystals will likely have more uses than shown -questions about the candles were specifically avoided

An accompanying tree for the humanoids in Minecraft

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been working on an evolutionary tree for the animals of Minecraft 1.16 (including those implied by non-living items). I’ve finally gotten it to the point where I’m happy enough with it to post it. If you’re wondering why it says “created by NitroHydroRay,” that’s my username everywhere except tumblr. If you want to know why I laid out my trees like I did, I created a post on reddit that explains every choice that I made (linked here). Hope you enjoy!

(Also, no, I didn’t forget the zombie horse, this tree only includes naturally spawning mobs)

REPORTERS WITHOUT BORDERS OPENS "THE UNCENSORED LIBRARY" IN MINECRAFT, FEATURING BOOKS/ARTICLES CENSORED IN CERTAIN COUNTRIES

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) opens “The Uncensored Library” – Within a computer game. In many countries, free information is hard to access. Blogs, newspapers and websites are censored but Minecraft is still accessible. RSF used this backdoor to build “The Uncensored Library". A library filled with books, containing articles that were censored in their country of origin. These articles are now available again for young people around the world – hidden from government surveillance technology inside a computer game. Support our fight and share this film! #TruthFindsAWay
