A very messy poorly drawn guide to how each minecraft society views death and murder. A NOTE: THIS ALSO DEPENDS ON THE INVIDIUAL OF COURSE this just serves as a generalised guide as to how you might be raised to view violence in the household of each folk.
Translation from my terrible handwriting and some additions down here ๐
โMurder and violence is bad regardless of the circumstance. It is an unforgivable act and I will be punished for it in life and after death.โ
Villagerโs religion does not really revolve around a god, but rather the afterlife and the act of compassion. They believe life is sacred and compassion is a gift you must serve. Acts of goodwill such as hospitality, aid and mercy will purify your soul and will prevent your soul from remaining forever unsatisfied in limbo.
โMurder and violence is justified and often beneficial if it serves to rid of the weak, my enemy or serves to benefit me monetarily, honorary or in order to gain/enforce social power in a hierarchy.โ
They believe in survival of the fittest. Pacifism is seen as weak. You must eliminate your enemies, and you are a weakling (and thus inferior) if you have qualms with this.
โMurder and violence is BAD, but is often a necessary evil if me or my familyโs survival, safety or quality of life is at stake.โ
It must only be done out of survival, mercy (such as killing a zombified person) or if provoked. Any other reason, such as sadism, greed or in a crime of passion, is considered dishonorable which is an EXTREME sin in piglin society. Basically, every hog for himself.
โMurder, and as a whole, death, is unimportant to us as we will be reincarnated back into the chorus in our natural environment.โ
The death of a being outside of the chorus is unimportant if it does not affect the hive mind. Severed Endermen (nether and Overworld Endermen) may view things differently. They are a self interested system of beings, which does not make them evil, as said before they just physically cannot relate or empathise to other minds outside of their Chorus.
โMurder is bad, but I will resort to it if it is a matter of survival or safety.โ
Humans are kind of like a mid way point between villager and piglin views. Murder/violence that is not self defence is unforgivable. Given humans these days are extremely endangered, often itโs a nessecity as to not be killed. Every man to himself, if you help me I will help you, and if you hurt me I will hurt you back. Not quite as honor based as piglins though.
