History Fridge / Minecraft

** That's the point.

* Update 1.16 added naturally-generating ruined Nether portals to both the Overworld and the Nether. The Overworld ones are built on a chaotic bedding of Netherrack and small pools of lava. Is the Nether slowly "creeping out" into the Overworld?

* If you've ever run headfirst into a Creeper, chances are you've probably asked yourself, "what kind of demented creature would ever think to [[ActionBomb blow itself up]] to inflict damage to someone else?" Well, [[SuicideAttack humans]], for starters.

* In most of the biomes, the abandoned mineshafts are found at many levels below the sea level. The exception is in the badlands, where they can be found above the sea level. Why? Aside from the mountainous geography there, gold ore can be found at surface level there. Whoever built these mineshafts must be trying to dig for precious minerals, especially gold. In other biomes, gold were found much deeper underground. Furthermore, this might be a reference to the Gold Rush in real life, where workers try to build mines to dig for gold during the Wild West times.

** If it's not a tomb your raiding, perhaps those are the remains of past expolorers?

* Why would creepers [[SuicideAttack explode]] as an attack? Given the appearance of their skin, they may be based on plants to some degree, and the explosion spreads their seeds, allowing them to reproduce similar to Orks from ''Warhammer 40K''.

* Why can't Ghasts see through glass? Because they don't use vision as a primary sensory mechanism, as evidenced by the fact that ''they only open their eyes when shooting at you''.

* In version 1.4, two new plants were added, potatoes and carrots. The main sources of these plants are either finding them in village farms or finding them on dead zombies. So the villagers must have killed the zombies and taken the pants off them! [[FridgeLogic Although where the zombies got the plants in the first place is another question entirely]].

* Why would creepers [[SuicideAttack explode]] as an attack? Given the appearance of their skin, they may be based on plants to some degree, and the explosion spreads their seeds, allowing them to reproduce similar to orcs from ''Warhammer 40K''.

* The Nether is home to Piglins that trade gold for goods. In other words, Hell is ''literally'' filled with [[CapitalismIsBad capitalist pigs]].

* Why are Infinity and Mending mutually exclusive enchants (you can't have them both at the same time) for the bow? Most likely because they deal with a infinite amount of something, arrows for the former and durability for the latter, if there are two enchants that deals with this on one weapon, there might be major cataclysmic events (e.g. the enchants causing the weapon to collapse into a dense singularity that might turn into a black hole due to the enchants generating so many unneeded excess), so the character is wise enough to refuse doing the combination!

* As of snapshot 20w45a, if a Shulker is hit by another Shulker's bullet, it has a chance of spawning a new Shulker. This implies that when a Shulker fires at you, it is seeking a partner to reproduce with... and their means of reproduction explodes onto you. Ewwww.

** 1.16 adds Respawn Anchors, which ''do'' allow you to respawn in the Nether... but to get around this problem, it has to be charged with glowstone. Also, if you bring a Respawn Anchor to the Overworld and try to use it there, it explodes.

** They're also mentioned to be plants, which would most likely take in sunlight via their green chlorophyll. It would make sense for them to adapt methods to avoid exploding from their preferred sustenance.

* Why can't Ghasts see-through glass? Because they don't use vision as a primary sensory mechanism, as evidenced by the fact that ''they only open their eyes when shooting at you''.
