*** Even if they're stoic, if you're tired, you're ''physically unable'' to run fast when it gets past a certain point. Also, you seem to be a bit unsure about whether it's tiredness or simply being active at night that sets the phantoms off, because cats are active at night but they still get enough sleep... I'm confused.

* How is it that both a silent ActionBomb that can kill players in an instant, and a flying undead manta ray that eats insomnia for dinner be terrified of something as mundane as an ordinary cat? Both seem like they could kill a feline in less than a second if they wanted to!

** Just because Steve/Alex might not ''seem'' tired doesn't mean they aren't tired at all. So they might be tired, but are really good at not showing any symptoms of it. As for the cats, they're known for being quite active at night in real life, which might reflect in the game as to how they can see them.

* If sleeping is [[TheSleepless optional]] for Steve and Alex and they don't seem to get tired, then why does the Phantom only come when you don't sleep? Also, how come cats can see them even though logically, if they're cats, they should sleep a lot?

** Spitballing, here, but it's possibly because the Illagers have paler skin. While the Villagers tend to be out and open, farming crops and doing daily activities, with a few decent light sources, Illagers tend to hang out either in a very poorly lit tower, deep in the trees where very little sunlight comes through, or giant mansions that are often dimly lit. It could also be because Vill/Illagers aren't humans at all and their species is capable of having either gray or peach skin, with most of the gray-skinned ones taking a path of evil.

Just a question.


* The first thing you do is punch a tree to get wood. So many questions arise. How do you even punch the tree without getting a splinter, or sore knuckles? Why isn't the wood broken into tiny pieces like it realistically would be if someone actually went through the pain of punching it until it breaks? Why doesn't the tree fall down? What mess of physics is allowing trees to stay in the air, just... floating there? I just want answers, guys. [[RealityIsOutToLunch Actual]] [[MST3KMantra answers]].

*** All forms of organic life require water to survive, because the chemical reactions that make up the basis of organic rely heavily on water's presence as a solvent and reagent both. Water bears being able to live in total vacuum is largely a myth -- they are not capable of living in it, they are capable of ''enduring'' it, an important difference. Their ideal conditions are the same as most lifeforms' -- when things get too harsh, they stop moving and go into a state of suspended animation that can endure almost anything. When conditions turn favorable again, then they "come back to life" and start moving and doing things again.



*** A Tumblr fan blog posited the theory that Endermen have the ability to find the 'seams' (the edges of the blocks) of the world, giving them their ability to move blocks like you do, and that water (and lava) hurts them because they're liquids--they don't have any 'seams'. Ice and snow are solid enough to count.
