I am making my own minecraft movie

ok so i'm not actually making a movie. what i am doing is analysing minecraft and thinking about why i didn't like The minecraft movie, and what i was actually wanting out of a minecraft movie. and then like. writing an overview or something. a lot of my thoughts heavily reference the End Poem, and some things i've seen echoed around the community in the past decade or so in terms of minecraft lore.

if you have any thoughts please tell me. please please please. i wrote i think a whole essay on the worldbuilding and storytelling of minecraft in college i am rather passionate about it.

things i am thinking about so far:

-having the movie progression loosely follow the progression of updates 1.0-current. not Every feature has to be included, but just like, no seeing like, cornflowers in the beginning of the movie. i wanna start in that barren 1.0 wasteland of an overworld baybe.

-according to the update timeline as of 2025, we'd meet alex about midway through the movie. unsure of my thoughts on this, but it follows previous logic.

-we only see ONE pink sheep the whole movie. are those fuckers rare or what?

-no new characters that aren't in the game.

-the entire soundtrack is by C418 and Lena Raine. Definitely including some in game songs, but some new ones thrown in as well.

-the player is the freak, not the villagers. i personally am not a fan of the "there was a nuclear disaster that fucked up minecraft, and made the mobs and the villagers Like That." i've seen throughout minecraft fan theories over the years. I think that's too specific, too un-minecraft-y, and also. not a fan of the insinuations with the villagers. minecraft has no lore. at best it has soft worldbuilding- think studio ghibli. we don't really know why things are precisely the way they are, we just know they are, and we know a few rules. we know minecraft started out barren, and as the updates came and went (to be interpreted as either time passing, the player exploring further, or both), more and more life was seen in the world, more things were discovered, more things were fought, made, destroyed, learned. according to the End Poem, minecraft is a dream that the player enters. one could interpret that as us being an outsider- it would explain why no one else looks like us, plays like us. we are alone. minecraft is a lonely place. you see it when you compare yourself to the villagers, you hear it in the soundtrack. you are alone.

-get julian gough back to write a second short poem for the end of the movie, but this time pay him one billion dollars. by the end of the game, we'd achieved a high enough level to read the universe's thoughts, i think this time after the movie, and also after furthering ourselves in the long dream of life, we should have levelled up enough to hear the universe's thoughts ("Sometimes, through the noise of its thoughts, it hears the universe, yes." | this having audio also makes it more fitting for a movie).

I don't. actually know what the plot would be. obviously it needs to be minecraft-y, but it can't simply be the base game progression, can it? would that be too simple? i wouldn't want to rely entirely on nostalgia, it has to be an enjoyable movie regardless of it's association to minecraft.

lov u ants. several are embroidered onto a hoodie of mine.

Please don't forget the ants!

STOP STOP STOP Stop, making festive "bug print" fabrics, quilt patterns, children's books and drawings that include "mix of bugs" but don't contain a single ANT.

I know how you artists are. You never skip the butterfly because of the colors. You never skip the beetle because of the ... shape. You never skip a centipede or millipede because of the legs. You never skip the spider because of the LORE. But ants are "boring" --right? NO WRONG

Ants are everything. Ants are the most successful members of the most successful group of land animals on the planet!

A nature drawing without ants is like a forest without leaves. Like night sky... without any stars. Do not forget the ants. Know the ants have not forgotten you!

saying “i want him” about the character but not in a romantic or sexual way . i just Require him i need to Obtain him

when I handed in my autism paperwork, I scheduled an appointment directly with my GP to go over my fully filled out and annotated paperwork, and go over the questions I'd made notes i didn't understand or needed clarified. I think colour coding was involved.

The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.

In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.

But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.

"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?

"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.

Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?

It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.

i do not understand why people get so upset that people like music that they personally don't. why are YOU mad that I'M listening to shit music?

log off. touch some grass. contribute something meaningful to the world around you.

trust in the force. we can change our fate, we can change our future, we can change the past.
