is the reason totems only work for steve because they Believe they work, or is there something that happens when they touch one, that the evokers are trying to extract/exploit?

So glad someone asked-

Totems work for anyone. In game, if you give a mob a Totem and kill it, it will be revived just like Steve would. The reason Totems don't work for Evokers, is because they're not charged.

To charge one, you gotta give it a living sacrifice so it traps their soul inside it.

Raids themselves are not just for looting, but are giant sacrifice rituals. For both Totems and just because Illagers are all about ritualistic killing. You will be sacrificed for our glorious crusade against the world!!

However this also makes it so that during Raids, the Evokers themselves end up the sacrifices...

Both Illager and Villager souls can work. (Piglins could as well, but nobody has ever tried)

Villagers preferred cuz those guys are strange natural aptitude towards life. They have a chance of circumventing death and becoming undead upon a zombie attack, and their lifestyle is marked by hard work and survival.

It is unknown if the souls inside the totems are still conscious.

It never works on trapping Steve's 'soul'... seems that they don't have anything like that at all...

EDITED 17/06/26 to be more concise.

The Brutes intercept bartering between their own and the Overworlders, and the Grand Brute gets an idea.

(grandma is angry that MC: Legends stopped getting updates)

The Raiders take on the Nether Fortress, bartering and a surprise encounter...

[brightgoat]

Having remembered that Piglins can be swayed with gold, Nil gives the Raiders an idea, but it takes some convincing and even more bluffing...

[brightgoat]

Has Steve ever taken Nil to the Nether during their little adventures together?

(flashback...)

No, that’d be too dangerous. But Steve has told them some things about it...

[brightgoat]

The Vindicators clear out the remaining Hoglins from the Piglins' attack on their occupied Bastion, meanwhile Glen tries to convince the Brutes that the attack was a bad idea. They're just panicking villagers, right?

(but the others just make fun of Glen's newest 'Overworld pet' who won't stop growling and hissing at everyone)

Minecraft: My World AU - Act II - Nether Arc Part 8

[brightgoat]

I really love your Minecraft au, especially the Illagers, and was wondering what the Ravagers are/how they work in your au.

Ravager Lore! Also mentioned here.

The Raiders (and their Ravager) regroup after pushing back against the Piglins. After seeing the Ravager in action once more, Nil asks Wirt about it. And then they decide that maybe they don't need to know everything.

(also thank you!)

[brightgoat]

The Piglins make a push, and the Raiders fire back.

Side notes: The Bastion that the Raiders took over is the Bridge Bastion. Witches tend to carry gunpower with them to use for splash potions, and firework rockets are crafted from paper and gunpowder.

Polly and Glen team up to rescue Nil from their own respective kinds. Eve does some exploration in the depths of Bastion Remnants...

THE NETHER RAIDERS

A Raid Party that got tricked into following the Hero through a Nether Portal. The Hero had the portal destroyed on the way out, and the party has been trapped ever since.

That is until a surprise Wandering Trader, who has a habit of appearing where least expected, told them of something that could help them... Supposedly.

[brightgoat]

In the midst of chaos, Nil and Polly got separated. While Nil gets acquainted with the ways of the Nether, Polly gains an unlikely ally. But they're pretty used to getting unlikely allies.

Also! Yellow text boxes are in Piglin language, and white text boxes are in Testificate language.

OUT OF THE FURNACE, INTO THE FIRE

im absolutely in love with nil’s character… they’re very charming to me !! i can imagine them (in the past) just laying out in the sun ignoring everybody lol

anyways, i’ve gotta ask — what would they do for fun (or in their free time) now that they’re with polly??? what might the two do together for fun too haha

Thank you!! Haha that's exactly what they used to do all day at the village.

Now, as they travel together... they do whatever the land ahead of them prompts them to.

Nil still carves pumpkins, but after Polly taught them to craft basic items- they began trying out wood or even stone carving. Polly follows suit (and sometimes uses their teeth to do it).

Nil has taught Polly the art of cloud watching, meanwhile Polly has taught Nil to orientate themselves using the stars in the night sky. They usually just end up stargazing.

Polly told Nil about songs or shanties the Pillagers would sing during patrol, and the two try to make their own new ones. They forget most of them the next day, and start again.

Nil began enjoying picking flowers. Polly taught them to make stews out of them, and Nil has had the idea to experiment with recipes more. Of course, not all the recipes end well-

Nil is still waiting for when they find the fabled Mushroom Island that Polly promised them, they want to see if it's really possible to get stew from a cow...

I imagine Nil also makes it a point to plant pumpkins everywhere. They always carry a handful of seeds from carving so many, and they find places to plant more. Spread the pumpkins.

They go for swims regularly whenever they find a safe lake or river.

Once they came across a shipwreck, that was poking out of the ocean and close to shore, so they were able to explore it.

(More under cut)

They found a treasure map in that shipwreck, so they built a boat and sailed out to find it. Buuut all they found was a deep hole in the sand, and at the bottom THAT Wandering Trader. She claims she was also looking for the treasure, but when she arrived, it was just the hole and she slipped and fell in.

Polly and Nil were about to turn around, when the Trader's llamas pushed them in as well. Meanwhile, the Trader managed to grab the lead hanging off the llama and pulled herself out of the hole.

Nil and Polly had to then try to convince the Trader that they were in fact NOT about to turn around, they were GOING to help, PLEASE throw them the lead... Trader took the lead off the llama and threw the whole thing into the hole, and left. They had to get out of there before nightfall.

They explore whatever ruins they come across. Have come across a Desert Temple with a hole in the floor, and when they looked down, there was a giant cavity as if there's been an explosion.

They crashed in that temple for the night, and made up stories about the carvings on the walls. Carved their own initials out somewhere too.

Then they found a camel in that desert, and rode it to the edge of the biome.

When it's time to rest, and they've set up camp - they turn to their creative activities, or craft tools they will need the next day (usually arrows, Polly does repairs to their crossbow (unlike Steve, they don't need an anvil)). They also make sure to collect material on their journeys.

They patch up their wounds, they wash themselves and their clothes. They cook, they eat, they talk about everything and nothing, discuss what they've seen that day, calm down if something tried to kill them earlier, and they look at the stars, and Nil is the first to go to sleep while Polly stays on watch for a bit, and eventually gets some shut-eye too.
