I got inspired to make a minecraft oc thanks to you so i wanna introduce them ahah woooo
named VepIV (Very eccentric/extravagant/elusive person I V - roman numberal four). They are a simple character, one with a fuzzy haircut and wearing a wonderful suit and yellow-red tie, but the key feature is that their eyes are white n have 1 pixel that looks like a teardrop, permenant, which is often stylised by many people as a way to draw teary eyes.
The full lore I haven't gone into the details of but I imagine them as a 'cheater', following my preferences, who like commands and such. They would give themselves effects to sort of just speed things up, because 'I could do it normally but this is just quicker, why waste my precious time on gathering resources when I could do something else with the hours saved? I still get them naturally!' - Speed, haste, some light resistance, maybe a low level regeneration, maybe more hunger just to 'be able to eat more of the food I farm' or on the contrary more saturation because 'The food should be able to satiate me for longer than it currently does.'
They also are an adventurer/gatherer, I feel like they wouldn't like to just sit still too long, despite the safety, and instead try mine out a huge area as if a 'mortal' quarry, to go find new supplies and collect as much as possible, and despite enjoying automation, they'd be reluctant to try making farms and machines when instead they could collect it all by hand. Still, with time, I think they'd grow more interested in experimenting with redstone, trying to invent something new (and failing more times than any success) and try find ways to use the natural spawn rates and other interesting nonsense into optimising a design. Sure it may not be Etho level creativity or anything, they'd still be able to make a flower farm and as such many dyes too, or a good stone farm, and maybe even a great size of a cactus farm, still - they'd be unlikely to use most, instead using the items for trade/currency or as gifts, they'd enjoy going around to other players and directly selling or offering them, sometimes just giving it away, othertimes demanding a price, but just for the bonding rather than an actual desire to get rich or anything.
I also have mildly taken inspiration from fanfics of the hermitcraft stories on ao3 when I say the following: Their respawns *hurt*, as in, they feel their body wilt away and wither, their code torn away from the body, reconstructed anew, and appearing in a new body yet with the same consciousness. So I would expect they try to stay alive at any cost (also hardcore is a no-no, but survival and adventure are fine, creative mode only through command blocks + levitation editted somehow in the code). They'd prefer potion effects and command blocks rather than armour, their base would be so heavily fortified with beacons that even a blast from a warden of 5 firework charged crossbows in a row would not even do a single heart of damage, and when out and about, they'd be jumpy - wary and concerned over the smallest things.
I am not very well versed with all the technical sides to the game nor the code or even complex commands, yet I still always have some form of effect or gamerule change when playing. Faster tick rate speed (to harvest crops faster), keep inventory, no nighttime (daylight cycle frozen), no fire spread, etc.
Oh and I have vaguely considered that they would be apart of the hermitcraft series but I worry I wouldn't do the others justice - person or character - albeit vague ideas have formed, but I fail to truly expand on them, like I got nothing else to say beyond 'Would help Impulse or Doc with mega builds and such, would explore with Grian, would trade with Scar alot, would share supplies and ideas with Gem, would be indifferent to Skizz, would try to bond with Etho because ofcourse they would, would like the mini games the others make and replay them tons of times, would avoid pvp immensely, would communicate only through chat and signs.' etc.
I expect nor require no feedback or response I just wanted to bestow this information upon you, and yet if you have any questions about them I'd be more than happy.
I love thiiis i am so happy i inspired you somwhat and that you decided to share the results with meeee <3 /vpos /gen
I love how much you based off of your playstyle that's such a cool way to go about it!!!
(fellow keep inventory and no fire spread person, even sometime use datapacks so creepers hurt me but not the environment 🤝✨)
Okok but i am in love with the sort of little headcanons-format fun facts and i would love to see more of those if you have any ✨💫
