#Minecraft Zombie Extreme Mod

[fishnchip3011]

Ok, so I know that they aren't in the same universe/ save. But it would be extremely funny if even tho they are, they have a minecraft server.

THE CONCEPT OF THIS IS SO FUNNY rowan is the builder type i think hed be really into making huge elaborate builds and would rly like decorating and taking care of pets and i think he would download shaders and mods that make everything look pretty. his least favorite hostile mob is the skeleton and his heart rate spikes every time he hears a skeleton noise

wren would be a speedrunner LMFAOAKFAOK he likes mining and fighting mobs/boss mobs and hed make those complicated ass redstone mechanisms n make hostile mob farms. he has a pet cat and dog ingame named after his actual pet cat n dog and also has a sheep he keeps in a tiny fenced space in his house named after one of his sheep (callahan) that he puts in the perpetual timeout corner. hes also the only one out of all 3 of these guys to actually consistently play minecraft in his own time

im gonna be real as hell i think hunter would be like a grandpa trying to use technology for the first time when it comes to playing games he is so bad at it. terrible gamer dexterity. he dies 3 consecutive times in one night from the same horde of zombies because he was too busy cutting down wood and didnt make a home base in time and hes scratching his chin squinting at his screen in real time n is like "hm. i guess im not very good at this game!" then gets distracted by something and abandons the game and forgets about it LOL

minecraft would need a lot of changes in order to be less colonialist, and I don't think it would even really be possible to completely strip the game of all colonialism (it still fundamentally is a terra nullius fantasy at its core) but I've been thinking a lot about how I personally would redesign it as a developer, and I have so many thoughts that if I were to list them all, this post would go on forever. so I think for now, I'll focus on one particular aspect: villagers and illagers.

as a disclaimer, these are just my personal thoughts. I wouldn't consider myself an expert on decolonization, so my analysis may very well be limited. I have a strong passion for storytelling through the use of game mechanics, and that's the angle I'm approaching this from. if I were planning to make any changes to minecraft (which I'm not), I would consult with people who know more than me about this topic first and involve them in the process. anyway, since this post turned out way longer than I expected, I've put the rest under a read more.

the primary critique leveled against villagers and illagers is that they're antisemitic caricatures. a lot has already been said about this, and I'm not jewish myself, so I don't particularly have anything novel to contribute to that conversation. I think that their models should be changed, and all forms of golems should be renamed. I believe there's a mod that renames them to constructs, so I'll be using that to refer to them here.

I think that overall, the biggest problem that villagers have is that you are not incentivized in any way to engage with their mechanics. the most productive and rewarding way of engaging with villagers is to ravage their homes and steal all of their valuable resources, then build slums so that you can shove a villager of each career into a 1x1 hole. to further benefit from this, you can make a zombie effectively kill them, then bring them back to life using a splash potion of weakness and a golden apple. they will then have discounted prices on all of their trades.

there are so many problems with this I don't even know where to begin. to put it simply, you are not incentivized to treat them as inhabitants of the world that are equal to you; you're rewarded for essentially turning them into slaves. this is a fate far more cruel, far more evil, than anything the pillagers do to them (which I'll get to later).

if I were designing the villager system, then the first thing I would do is make them less useful to you if you treat them like this. if you steal the resources from their village, including the items in their chests, then I think that should affect the trades they offer you. think about it: why would they have anything to trade with you if they don't have any resources in their village? if you completely restrict their movement, then they shouldn't trade with you at all; how could they? on top of that, they should fight back! if you start mistreating them, then nearby villages should start taking defensive measures, like building walls around their villages to keep you out and iron constructs to fight you if you attempt to enter. I think this would further humanize the villagers by conveying that they communicate with each other, that they have thoughts and feelings beyond just desiring emeralds. and indeed, having other villages respond to your behavior would demonstrate that they communicate with other villages, not just as trading partners, but as allies.

speaking of trading, it desperately needs to be overhauled. I think one of the reasons people tend not to engage with trades is because villager trades are generally terrible deals, and that's mostly because emeralds are an extremely rare ore. yes, you can obtain emeralds through trading, but the quantity is never enough. the minimum number of emeralds an armorer who hasn't been zombified and healed will ask for in exchange for an enchanted diamond chestplate is 21. given that emeralds are quite literally more rare than diamonds, it makes far more sense to spend your time mining diamonds than mining emeralds to take advantage of that trade. you will likely find 21 diamonds far quicker than you would find 21 emeralds, and with 21 diamonds, you could create 2 chestplates and 2 enchanting tables, and still have 1 diamond left to spare. and most villager trades are similarly worthless! I think that increasing the generation rate of emeralds would help assuage this problem.

another issue I have with villagers is that they're generally depicted as "primitive". they live harmoniously with nature, which is good; considering the fact that the main audience for minecraft is children, I think encouraging kids to see value in protecting the natural world is a good idea. however, the villagers as they are don't really demonstrate this idea, and many of minecraft's game mechanics actually encourage you to destroy nature in order to extract more resources. I think that showing the villagers using more sophisticated technology would demonstrate that it's possible to collect resources more efficiently and sustainably without destroying the environment.

the main way that I would go about demonstrating this is adding redstone devices to villages. perhaps they could have farms that use pistons to release water that automatically harvests the grown crops and delivers them into a chest using hoppers. or maybe they could have houses that are lit automatically at night using daylight sensors and redstone lamps. maybe armorers' houses could have automatic smelting mechanisms. perhaps they could have a redstone clock that rings the village bell at set intervals to indicate the time of day. not only would all of this demonstrate that the villagers are capable of using technology, it would also teach the player what redstone does and how it can be used, which is something that minecraft sorely needs; as it stands, there are almost no uses of redstone in natural world generation. I think this would additionally demonstrate that technology is a very effective tool in making the lives of people easier, without destroying the environment through extractionist practices.

I think this is a good segue to talk about illagers. it seems to me that the primary purpose of illagers is to contrast them with villagers by making them more violent, and in many ways, colonialist. I think that expanding on this would be a great idea!

if villagers had redstone devices, for example, then illagers could have more complex redstone devices that are more destructive and unethical. while these would undoubtedly produce more resources, their negative effects would be made more apparent. for example, they could have automatic chicken cooking farms that produce enormous amounts of pre-cooked chicken, but the meat is of a lower quality - perhaps restoring fewer hunger points and with a lower saturation value, and has a noticeable chance to make you sick when you eat it. perhaps they can have tnt dupers that are used for tree farming, but leave giant ugly craters in the landscape. perhaps pillagers could construct large rail networks that disrupt the landscape and make those areas spawn fewer wild animals. they could have giant, ugly farms for resources like wheat, pumpkins, and iron that produce low quality items in an obviously unethical way.

further, I think that illagers need to be more destructive. they're already an unpleasant sight due to their hostility, but I think that their presence in an area should be felt even when they're not physically there. for example, abandoned mineshafts should have ominous banners hanging at the entrances, and all of the ores that were in them should have been mined out. there should be large, barren fields with empty canals for water where nothing grows anymore, indicating they used it for farmland until the soil was no longer useful. there should be giant holes in the ground that go deep into the stone layer, indicating they used to mine there until they extracted all of the ores they could.

on top of that, I think that making the world more responsive to the players' actions by changing the appearance rate of illagers would do wonders to encourage the player to take care of the world. if the player frequently raids villages, then nearby villages should become more and more hostile until they eventually decide to compete with the player by engaging in more extractivist colonialist methods themselves, thereby turning them into illagers.

essentially, if the player chooses to play the game as a colonizer, then the inhabitants of the world will respond in turn, and begin acting in the same ways to secure power for themselves. pillager patrols would become more common the more destructive the player becomes, and they would become more destructive and powerful themselves, acting as a real threat! if the player has fully enchanted netherite armore and tools and engages with the world in a destructive way, then illagers should do the same and gang up on them in order to take over their home and steal their resources. in effect, colonizing the world would be extremely punishing, as it would make minecraft a more frustrating experience.

it's disappointing that minecraft doesn't have any of these mechanics, because without them, I struggle to see how the message minecraft communicates is anything other than "colonialism and extractionism are good and rewarding". mojang seemingly wants to portray the world of minecraft as a beautiful world of nature, but the game is not at all designed to encourage you to view it that way. every feature in minecraft is treated first and foremost as a resource to be extracted in the most efficient way possible, and it's really troubling. it's not at all surprising, given that the game was initially designed by a white supremacist, but while mojang has attempted to distance themselves from him publicly, his philosophy is still central to the game's mechanics. minecraft is by no means unique in this regard, as many video games are built around these ideals, but as one of the most popular games of all time, I feel it's a grave mistake to reinforce these philosophies, especially in the minds of children. I don't necessarily think my ideas are perfect solutions, but I think that at the very least, it's worth acknowledging the problem and trying to come up with alternatives.

Your Last Days. (Mcrp)

As apposed to the last Smp I covered. (See here) This Minecraft series is extremely story oriented and a really eventful watch!

Content/Trigger warnings: Possible swearing, A lot of people in crowded places and talking, The mod itself includes violence (Guns & Blood) and should generally be watched in perspectives that are comfortable for the viewer.

Other general warnings, This will be a long blog but I will try to keep it as informative and spoiler free as possible!

I was introduced to this SMP by my FYP some time back, thank you Youtube. As of current, there is a Prequel titled Your First Days and it's a very interesting thing if you were attached to anyone's perspectives! (Not entirely certain if it's still ongoing, but I've been trying to keep up with it!)

Now, what Is the plot you may be asking? In a post apocalyptic setting the only thing that is clear to our players is Survival or destruction. Depending on which perspective you watch. TLDR: Your Last Days is a story driven hardcore server set in a post-apocalyptic world.

There are many established factions of people who are all fighting to stay alive and protect their lands. When it is announced a group of Hunters have been sent to wipe out the entire population who have been suffering from this infection for ten years.

Unlike most formatted things, this is something to look into yourself. There are the occasional edited videos for you to look through such as Kaboodles:

Its a very hyper active, enthusiastic story of a character making a bond against the obscene odds they were thrown into and really quite an exciting story!

Most of this SMP was livestreamed, I say most its all live streamed. Looking up Your Last Days MCRP seems to show several perspectives for you to look up but these were a couple of my favorites:

Ali, Yoshi, Miyaki, Beans, Ray, and Korps.

Before getting into this it was a lot because I wasnt actively partaking in streams as it was happening, 2023 was a busy year for a lot of people. Me included. A couple months back as I was going through perspectives I found these were the ones I enjoyed the most, the story-telling and perspective was incredibly fun to focus on. (That isnt to say everyone involved aren't entertaining to watch!) The concept as a whole is very interesting to me because zombie media has always failed to make me actually scared, but in a world full of people you start to care about the stakes are raised and makes for a pretty compelling setting.

Going on to say! They also have a series I mentioned before; this is a perspective I very much am in love with and honestly it made my entire month!

Thank you to BLKCAT for hosting this and to IvAutumn & BumpyJake for sharing so many amazing content creators! Please consider giving them a follow for more news regarding events and content they put out!

Twitter, Your First Days

Thank you Swompers! I do hope any of this content is of interest to you and you have a good time watching it! Its never too late to seek an interest in something like this!

[swagging-back-to]

the sims 4 and minecraft are both perfect examples of why indie developers and indie games are better.

lets take a look at minecraft before mojang bought it. updates were faorly regular and a fair amount was added in each major update, things that are now necessary for the game to be what it is. think, beetroot, baby zombies, the nether, different colored blocks, avillager trading system. they did all of this with very minimal funding, just two guys and maybe later on a small team as well. the community was small but the dev team still listened.

now lets look at minecraft *after* mojang. Updates are yearly, but most of them leave the fandom disappointed at best and furious at worse. every update is extremely half baked, if that. promised features are barely even a sliver of whats promised. Nothing that was added early on is updated despite it very much needing to be. they actively mock the fans and refuse to give them what they want (the constant mocking and jokes about the moobloom and the phantom, constantly refusing to give certain additions. outright stating things people have wanted since the beginning will never be added). they spend a good portion of their budget on offshoot games that no one plays, like dungeons and legends (which was barely even active for a year brfore they pulled it.) instead of on the main game with loads of issues.

and now lets look at the sims. which is like mojang minecraft on crack. it's a running joke that ea builds are laughably fucking bad. not adding toilets, never ANY lights in any of the builds, wide empty rooms, etc. most of the dlcs are half baked as well, most of them being extremely small and useless like all of the kits. yes. all of the kits. You'll never hear anyone say "this pack has everything i wanted!" because it never does. there is always a problem, some extreme bug or some deficiencies.

now lets look at minecraft and sim modders, who very regularly push out fully developed mods with so many levels of depth, so many swatches, so many options, so much attention to detail. you have these people doing this FOR FREE.

meanwhile mojang and ea are billion dollar companies.

the villagers in minecraft are antisemitic.

if this is the first time you're hearing about this, I really don't blame you. I rarely see anyone talking about this. and as a quick disclaimer, no I do not hate minecraft nor do I think you're an antisemite if you play minecraft. the point of this post is not to shame you for not knowing the villagers are antisemitic. it's to explain why they are, and possible things mojang can do to improve them.

first off, how are they antisemitic? let's look at the most notable features of villagers in the game. they have big noses, are obsessed with money, are weak and dumb, and build golems. now this is bad on its own, but the fact that villagers are using in many farms like iron farms and villager breeders is even worse. the most efficient way to build an iron farm in minecraft is to trap a bunch of villagers in a small room, scare them with a zombie so they spawn an iron golem, and kill the golem for iron. the most efficient way to get items sold by villagers is to repeatedly let them die to a zombie so they turn into a zombie, and then cure them over and over again so their prices are cheeper, all while keeping them in tiny one block prisons so they can never move.

I should reiterate that I do not think mojang is international antisemitic. but I do think that Markus Pearson is. Markus, or notch, is a self admitted racist and white nationalist, and I have no doubt that when he designed the villagers he did so with antisemitic intent.

however, I think the villagers can be improved. here are some proposed changes that mojang can make to the villagers that would make them less antisemitic.

remove the noses. okay I realize this is gonna piss off a lot of people because "the noses are iconic" or whatever. but let's be honest, they're an antisemitic trope.

make the villagers more human. right now, the villagers ai is not that advanced. they're pretty dumb, and have basically no free will. so give them more abilities. let them break blocks or build houses. this would allow them to have some agency, and not just be prisoner in player made farms. let them wear armor and weapons to defend the village. lots of mods do this, and they make the villagers feel much more alive.

add more profession and jobs, and maybe make it so only certain professions will trade items but will have more stock depending on the amount of people in the village. give the villagers more reason to exist other than just trading. let them explore, build, take care of livestock, fight to defend the village, take care of the child villagers as a sort of caregiver or teacher. let them fish, hunt, cut and grow trees. because right now the only thing villagers do besides trading is replant crops and summon golems.

make the pillagers and villagers look more different. right now, they look almost identical apart from the fact that pillagers have weapons. I'm not saying that the pillagers should be removed. just made to look distinctly different from the villagers. because a type of mob in the game that looks just like the antisemitic villagers, except this version is bad and you're encouraged to kill them, is extremely uncomfortable.

add more reasons for the player to help the villagers. right now, the only way you can help them is by saving them from a raid, and your only reward is a few free items and cheaper trades. add ways to help the villagers with farming or hunting or building. and add rewards for performing those tasks, like exclusive tools. like "wow thanks for coming on that fishing trip with us. you were a great help. now the village will have enough fish to eat for a week. as a thanks, here's a fishing net that can help you catch multiple fish/treasures at once."

add different looks to villagers. I know they have unique styles based on biome and profession, but add even more variety and variations. different skin colors, hair styles, facial hair, height and size, clothes, etc. make it so they don't all look the same.

just a few of these things would greatly improve the villagers and make them less antisemitic.

this post isn't a full list of changes. just a couple I thought of that make make the villagers better. feel free to add your own ideas or make suggestions.

[quadrilioquy]

Brainstorm. I want to know if you think he's good at Minecraft.

Brainstorm:

Shitfucked Priorities:

Food: 0/5. You can't convince me he cares about it.

Sleep: 0/5. You CANNOT convince me he cares about it.

Sex: 0/5.

Pals: 5/5. Chromedome. Enough said.

Love: 5/5. Quark. Enough said!

War: 4/5. His lifelong profession, but not his top priority, except in the way it kind of is (see Quark).

Kill: 0/5. He doesn't wanna do it! Himself. Facilitating it is fine.

Crying: 0/5. Not a crier, and even if he was he's too busy for it.

Minecraft Skills

PVP: 0/5. He extends his personal pacifism to video games. Yes he’s okay with making weapons to kill people in real life yes he refuses to kill people in Minecraft.

PVE: 0/5. He’s also just really bad at combat. Will die to zombies because he forgets to close doors.

Redstone: 5/5. A genius. A monster.

Building: 4/5. Would be 5/5, but he gets bored halfway through too much. The buildings he makes are honestly so incomprehensible they kind of fail at being buildings but they’re really cool.

Parkour: 2/5. Pretty passable. Has to be to navigate his creations when he’s not in Creative Mode (rare).

Speedrunning: 0/5. Simply has no interest. Could potentially be good at it if he tried, but he probably never will.

Grinds: Yes. Will tune out during disciplinary meetings to strip mine.

Creative Mode: Yes. Pretty much only plays survival with other people. Still probably uses cheats most of the time when he does.

Hardcore: No.

Modded In: Yes. You KNOW he has thirty mods minimum running at all times.

Bad Internet: No. He never has bad internet. He will make his own wi-fi if need be, or just steal yours if that’s easier.

Cracked Account: Yes. Absolutely yes.

Animal Crossing Personality: Smug

Amount of animatics in my head for him: 3

Hours of sleep he gets daily*: Not Enough

Kill Count: Somewhere from 1–1,000,000,000

Sunshine—Moon Scale: In the middle; kind of neither, kind of both.

Distant—in ur face rn Scale: Far extreme on both ends. “Wouldn’t that just put him in the middle” no.

Crewmate—Imposter Scale: Imposter. I mean. Come on.

...you have opened my eyes to a vast universe of VintageBeef lore that I was unaware of. I knew about the New Hermit Order, of course, and the UHC invention, and I've watched a few of his CTM things but -- I will take all the info and lore you feel like giving out because Beef is amazing and my knowledge is so small.

Vintagebeef my beloved <3

So the thing is, right, until about 2016 I only watched two (2) youtubers- Vintagebeef for Minecraft and aDrive for Pokemon (and funnily enough both of them are named Dan irl). So I've watched most of Beef's videos over the years and have a general knowledge of most of his stuff, except because it's been like a decade I don't remember where most of the lore comes from XD

The thing with him is that he doesn't do Lore tm the way other mcyters often do lore- he doesn't have an extensive RP series to draw from like Grian, doesn't have a solo world with steadily increasing amounts of lore like Etho or Zisteau, and while he's played on SMPs and been involved in storylines before it's not really the focus of his episodes unlike with Evo or Legacy or Empires

So where does that leave us?

IRL, Beef always has multiple series running at the same time. Often he's playing on an smp while doing a singleplayer, often modded, series as well as a CTM or modpack with a group of friends. For example, right now he's playing on Hermitcraft, doing weekly Pixelmon and Building a Zoo episodes, and a CTM map with Slip. And to me, this translates to one thing: Beef is an adventurer. He travels frequently- he explores a world and when he decides he's done, he leaves for the next one. That's the basis of my personal interpretation of his series and his character for my writing.

Ok so reading this back, this got extremely long and didn't explain much in the way of lore, somehow? If anyone has any additions to add please do so, I am very definitely leaving out a lot and would love to see what other lore people remember and are using for Beef! I didn’t include the Hermitcraft stuff since my memory of season 4 is blurry (his base was themed after the Martian, that much I know, and he and Iskall were buddies :D) and most of the s5 NHO lore is best watched from Bdub’s perspective from what I remember, and the only s6 stuff is a single line in Hermitgang and then the Area 77 arc with its possibility of an NHO reunion which we did not get rip. And s7 of course had the cloning machine and also the Podzol Party as the main lore. So all the original rambling is still below the cut though it is very long, and I'm gonna bullet point the main stuff here instead:

Actual canonical things:

Invented UHC and was the only survivor of the first ever uhc (Mindcrack UHC s1)

Married to an ender dragon (one of the UHCs I think), later father to a different dragon (Mindcrack season 3? I think?)

Might not have legs if you choose to take that joke as canon (Mindcrack s2)

Was a wizard (RAD)

is a zookeeper (Building a Zoo) 

Had a wife and kids (Sims in Minecraft)

Part of the Trial of the B Team court case (Mindcrack)

NHO founder, founder of the Podzol Party (Hermitcraft)

Created a cloning machine that sort of works (Hermitcraft)

Played the Forest which is I believe the first time he and Keralis played together (look up the trigger warnings for this one, it's a horror game)

Was the creator/owner of Sourceblock SMP (featuring some familiar faces if you know Legacy, Empires, or MCC) and there is literal magic from a mysterious sourceblock of water that teleports people and summons mobs and probably more stuff that I haven't seen yet since I'm still watching it myself

Things you can infer:

Good with animals (Life in the Woods, Pixelmon, Ark)

Is a car nerd (irl and all of the car games he's played)

Is a highly experienced adventurer who has traveled through dozens of worlds both vanilla and modded, across multiple dimensions (Twilight Forest, the Aether, the Betweenlands, Limbo), completed dozens of monuments, fought in blood sports, survived apocalypse after apocalypse, tamed dinosaurs, and played a lot of prop hunt and golf with your friends

If you're looking for what to watch for lore purposes, I'd say the Mindcrack UHCs and Team Canada's RAD series are pretty good, definitely Sourceblock and HC s5, plus the Diversity CTM maps and Ruins of the Mindcrackers maybe? And Mindcrack Prank Wars for the chaos and the origin of Team Canada. And if you can handle horror than the Forest is fun and if you don't do horror you can watch the Pojkband play golf or prop hunt they're hilarious I love them sm I want a Pojkband reunion So Bad 

Beef's first series was a singleplayer series in beta 1.4_01 though he had played the game extensively before that, and was a big fan of Guude, having watched his own Minecraft videos. The series was functionally a hardcore one where if he died Beef would delete the world and start again! I haven't actually Watched this series so idk if he died or how often lmao. When Guude made Mindcrack, which was btw one of the very first Minecraft SMPs, he also hosted a competition for people to join, and Beef submitted a video (which is still viewable on his channel I believe!) and won, and was added to Mindcrack in season 2 :D (fun fact, Guude said that even if Beef hadn’t won he would have added him anyway) 

Two running jokes emerged from Mindcrack- pulling a Vintagebeef and Beef doesn't have legs. The first is a reference to Beef dying of fall damage (I believe the exact instance was him trying to jump into his swimming pool and failing spectacularly) and after the incident, every time someone died of fall damage they were pulling a Vintagebeef. The second joke comes from Guude, who joked that the reason Beef wasn't going to a convention was because he didn't have legs, and then he pranked Beef's base by building a giant pair of legs at the entrance to his castle so you had to walk between them to get into the base. This joke has long since died and both Beef and Guude feel pretty bad about it iirc because there were people who genuinely thought Beef was disabled and were emailing him supportive messages and stuff oops. So if you go looking on the Salad or find old Mindcrack fics, you might see references to Beef having prosthetic legs!

Mindcrack also brought about the creation of several Player groups- Team Nancy Drew, Team Canada, and GOB to name a few relevant to Beef. Team Nancy Drew consists of Beef, Pauseunpause, Guude, and Baj, who formed to investigate a prank on one of the members but I forget who. They're named Nancy Drew after the detective! Team Canada also formed in retaliation to pranks, with it consisting of Beef, Etho, and Pause, the three Canadian members on the server (not including Adlington who moved to Canada but never joined the group). There was also a Team America who pranked them with American flags everywhere. GOB is Guude, OMGChad, and Beef, who played stuff like the Ragecraft, Pantheon, and Monstrosity ctms together but that's way down the line lol

Team Nancy Drew is also notable for inventing UHC. It was Beef's brainchild but it was the four of them who first played it! The first UHC had the four of them working to kill the dragon with no natural regen, with everyone dying but Beef, who "won" the UHC. The second uhc was still dragon focused and iirc is where Beef married the dragon? Memories are hazy but they do kill the dragon in this one I think. UHC was then revamped as a pvp event and became a regular Mindcrack game every few months, featuring most of the Mindcrackers and several special guests, including Dinnerbone, who as we know Thanos-snapped Doc's arm out of existence as a result of Doc killing him in one of them

In one of the seasons of Mindcrack, Beef invited swedish Mindcracker and good friend Anderzel to go caving with him and invented ABBA Rules caving, where the winner takes it all. ABBA Rules is a game where each ore (and also dungeon loot like nametags) is assigned a point value and the person with the most points at the end wins and gets to keep all the stuff collected from the game.

In Mindcrack season 3?, Beef punched the ender dragon in an... awkward area, so when the dragon died and left the egg behind, Guude said Beef was the father of the egg XD I don't remember if I watched s3 so I have no idea if anything Happened with this concept but *history of the world voice* you could make lore out of this!

So Team Canada has played a Lot of CTM maps (which fun fact were pretty much invented by another Mindcrack member, Vechs, with his Super Hostile series! Super Hostile has a bunch of things called "Zistonian", which are references to another Mindcrack member Zisteau, who has a very wild singleplayer series with even wilder lore but I digress). In Ruins of the Mindcrackers, they had a running joke that Beef was Etho and Pause's mom, which is a joke we can leave in the past actually /lh. They also played all the Diversity maps, Sky Factory, Terra Restore, Uncharted Territory uhhh and a couple more ctms and adventure maps! Each map kinda has its own story so in Diversity 3 for example they were trapped in a simulation? I think? Team Canada also recently played the Roguelike Adventures and Dungeons modpack, aka RAD, in which Beef was a wizard with a magic staff that could do anything from summon lightning to control hostile mobs.

Sourceblock SMP is a vanilla survival 1.14 series that ran for one season and the series starts with each of the Players being drawn to a strange sparkling water source that, once they touch it, brings them to the Sourceblock world. It also summons a giant zombie at one point. There's probably more lore for this series but like I said I haven't watched it all the way through yet 

He has a Patreon server called VintageCraft and has done a series or two on there as well, and played a few UHCs with them, so lore that how you will! 

Beef also played a few popular mods, notably Pixelmon, Life in the Woods, and Feed the Beast, with LitW being singleplayer and the other multiplayer. He's also recently played the Zoo and Wild Animals mod a lot. He did a short series with the Minecraft Comes Alive mod where he married one of the villagers and had two children, so that's canon now :D he’s played a Lot of Pixelmon starting when the mod first came out iirc (he chose Turtwig in his first series and built a Grass gym, then made a Normal gym in another series in uhh 2016) and he still plays to this day. Quite a few Hermits played on his Pixelmon servers with him, like Wels, Etho, Iskall, Stress, Slip, Zueljin, and also Guude and Phedran (a Mindcrack adjacent player and creator of the LitW modpack) and a few Mindcrackers on the older servers 

Mindcrack and friends played a lot of other games too- 7 Days to Die, Ark Survival Evolved, Unturned, to name a few, so you can pull a lot of lore out of these as well. Speaking of friends and non-Minecraft games, Beef teamed up with Pause, Keralis, and Slip (a former Hermit) to play the horror game the Forest, which saw them stuck on an island trying to survive against terrifying mutated human... things. They played it a few times as the game updated but as afaik it's the first time Beef played with Keralis and possibly Slip and since the game starts with the Player's airplane crashing, that could totally be how Beef first met them in-universe 

I... think? that’s everything I mentioned in the tags? There is probably way more stuff I’ve forgotten that stems from inside jokes and things that happen within each series, but I hope that was a) helpful and b) at least somewhat comprehensible lmao

Major Tom Headcannons

-is actually a brunette. Due to his hair cut very short, David needed to wear a wig to play the astronaut, and the wig came out looking like a light brown rather than sandy blonde. Therefore, Tom is one of the only few characters to have natural brunette hair.

-follows the mod trend. He is actually into the zombies, the Beatles, and many more mod bands of the early 60s.

-he likes space, but is sort of scared of it, due to getting lost in space once. 

-uses reading glasses when reading. A running gag is that he sometimes offers an extra pair for Jack, but the latter always turns down his request.

-is good friends with other 60s characters that do not live with him. 

-is close to Newton and Ziggy. Is amazed at their extraterrestrial origin, and never would have thought he would have met any.

-he weirdly likes eating bland food. He can't stand spice, sickly sweet foods give him headaches, and extremely salty foods make him exhausted.

-gets scared easily. He does not like horror movies. He does not worry a lot, but can get jumpy. 

-he is 22, but he has a wife. He has no kids, and it is unknown who and where she is. He is one of the few rare characters who are married.

-Buttoneyes and Pierrot are father figures to him, while Ziggy and Newton are more or less like his older brothers. Newton is the responsible brother looking out for him, Ziggy is the reckless brother that does crazy things with him together, like playing Minecraft mods, Buttoneyes is the goofy dad that tries to entertain him, and Pierrot is the dad that is serious and makes sure he is safe. None of them are related, but they behave like this to him because he is the youngest, and know him well enough. 

-he is well-versed in technology, and that man can code. 

-to conclude, Major Tom likes Mario games. Ziggy sometimes plays with him, like in Mario kart. The pair also enjoy Minecraft. They always fight each other to go to the end portal to fight the enderdragon.

I think it'd be extremely funny (if a little OOC) if Catboy Vtuber P03 installed a bunch of Minecraft mods and then be a huge pussy about everything they encounter

They find out zombies can mine stone while attempting to enter a dungeon and almost has a nervous breakdown

[myrfing]

so tangentially related to the fracking there’s this mod called techguns that is extremely poorly optimized and ENORMOUS but I try to put it into my minecraft servers at any opportunity because it gives zombies guns in whcih they can 2 shot you from a distance and the bullets are actual 3d objects in the game with visible trajectories and it makes life utter hell. You can make your own guns but first you need a moderate energy source hence why it has compat with industrialcraft/buildcraft/tinker’s construct or you can salvage them from overworld spawns of bunkers and military stations that generate like biomes but you have to take them over by routing all the kevlar-suited skeletors with guns or sneak in. It makes life a living hell I highly recommend it

[sustaiinplus]

3am au ideas with aes !!!!

i kno its been done b4 but like... half life 2. in some timeline where the whole thing concluded and the combine fucking died or sumn i guess?? extreme canon divergence that i will elaborate on

but like. gordon alien. this is assuming he spent a while on xen (like, black mesa remaster xen) and had to eat things he Probably Was Not Supposed To. nd the side effects of that are crazy weird. like minecraft morph mod or somthing

im gonna put the rest of this under readmore

so like minecraft morph mod. gordon has a Time on xen and for some reason starts to rapidly adapt to the ecosystem nd whatnot. basically almost becomes a xen creature?

its like, xen itself is a Living Being that assimilates things into it. all the dead hev guys? zombified if possible, if not suck that into the dirt bro. plant food. so xen tries to assimilate gordon but doesnt manage to fucking kill him before he gets out

and then a whole 20 years later he shows up in city 17 and Boy. boy

when he sees lamarr for the first time its like hes got tunnel vision and hes already got a headache and its just. overwhelming. gordon has to ask kleiner to repeat what he was saying bc what? he has no ears

throughout all of hl2 that constantly happens whenever he encounters xen creachurs and what the fuck why!!! why is this happening??? gordon RLLY tries not to focus on the creachurs and instead just shoots them and guns it asap

until his science brain goes like “hey. hey. what if you like... yknow... experimented with this”

he gives in. and so the next time gordon sees a creachur (at the end of ravenholm. assume one got in with him before the gate closed), he approaches it. this doesnt work out too well since thats literally a fucking fast zombie gordon what you doing!! it tries to attack him for all of 10 seconds before something spooks it and the zombie RUNS. but runs AWAY?? like straight climbs the fence and gets the fuck out of there so fast

this confuses gordon endlessly

so he continues doing this. he walks casually up to every creachur he sees. headcrabs, barnacles, antlions. the headcrabs always screech and skitter away, the barnacles do some sort of... camouflage?? but it gets rid of the rope thing so he’s satisfied, and the antlions... the antlions are overly friendly?? straight up nuzzle gordon’s arms and then zoop away. vyooom

gordon uses this to his advantage

idk where i was goin with all that really!! 

basically just gordon a little bit xen alien. he was already basically an apex predator so thats what xen was trying to shape him into. 

the whole xen assimilation thing is more like trying to populate the place with more creachurs but humans cant really take that? 

it didnt manage to fuck with gordon too much, he just sorta..........xen hivemind access and also some awesome epic lizard time. thatse it i might elaborate more later when its not almost 4am !! im rlly excited about this idea i really like writing this sort of stuff

ok good night tumblr
