No, no listen to me okay. Minecraft is so cool in terms of worldbuilding and lore. Not even when you start taking SMPs into account. Even when it’s Minecraft by itself it’s filled with so many opportunities to build onto what lore is already there. Take piglins for example: we know that they are intelligent, and that they exist on a level similar to villagers and pillagers. We know that they trade, and that they may have rankings. They build, and explore, and go on hunts. You can literally watch them celebrate a successful hunt in game. But there’s still so much grey area. That’s so cool to me! We can make observations and guess other things about their culture and habits! What is their language like? What do they consider to be valuable (gold, obviously)? What are their traditions?
Enderman, too! We know that the dragon controls them, and that by killing her, you free them. We know that they live in cities, End cities, where everything is three blocks high (perfect for their size). There are chests there, too. And inside of those chests is usually enchanted diamond armor. Which means that they know how to collect ore, craft, and enchant (enchanting makes sense, considering how the language looks so similar to the written Enderman language). But what about their customs? Habits? What’s valuable to them? They’re passive unless provoked (eye contact), which we know. We don’t have the ability/option to trade with them, like we can with Piglins (which is difficult, because of the player/Piglin language barrier), but do they trade among themselves? It’s so fascinating to me!!! Like seriously it’s so pog.
