Minecraft's Squidward Squad: A Guide to NPC Villages and How You Can Claim Your Own Piece of the Pie (Looting Optional)
Calling all prospectors, builders, and potential mayors! Today, we delve into the curious world of Minecraft's NPC villages, those clusters of quaint (or occasionally ramshackle) houses populated by the, well, let's be honest, somewhat nasally challenged villagers. Affectionately (or perhaps not-so-affectionately) known as "Squidward People" or even "Chin Ho" (a reference to their distinctive "hmm" sound), these villagers offer a unique opportunity for players on MoNoRi-Chan's SMP server.
With Great Frequency Comes Great… Responsibility?
Recent updates have seen NPC villages spawning more frequently in the vast landscapes of MoNoRi-Chan. This means more opportunities for players to encounter these… interesting… neighbors. But what can you do with these villages? Here are a few options:
Claim Your Domain: MoNoRi-Chan's Wild West Homesteading
Unlike some servers, MoNoRi-Chan's SMP embraces the spirit of the Wild West. There are (almost) no restrictions on homesteading. That means you can claim the entire village (or just a cozy corner) and make it your own!
Naturalization Project: From Squidward to… Well, Something Else?
The villagers might not win any beauty contests, but they can be surprisingly useful! Trade with them for valuable goods, or perhaps even… integrate them into your community! (Just don't expect them to win any staring contests.)
The "Look, Loot, Leave" Approach: A Not-So-Recommended Tactic
A now-infamous internet quote seems to advocate for a rather ruthless approach: "Veni squidward noses, spolio, Dimitto" (a twisted take on "Veni, Vidi, Vici" – I came, I saw, I conquered). While technically allowed on MoNoRi-Chan's SMP, this method might leave your moral compass a little worse for wear. There are more creative ways to interact with the villages!
Building a Better Tomorrow (or Yesterday, Depending on Your Architecture)
The possibilities are endless! Transform a village into a bustling hub of trade, a historical landmark museum (dedicated to… hmm-ing?), or even a training ground for your future villager army (because why not?).
The Choice is Yours, Prospector!
The presence of more NPC villages is a boon for MoNoRi-Chan's SMP players. Will you be a benevolent leader, a shrewd trader, or something entirely different? The choice is yours! Just remember, with great power (over Squidward-like villagers) comes great responsibility (and perhaps a few awkward "hmm" noises). Now, get out there and explore!
Why Villagers can use beds in Nether
The Nether Napping Mystery: Why Villagers Can Sleep While Players Explode
The Nether: a realm of fire, ghast blasts, and a burning question – why can villagers peacefully snooze in beds while players get a one-way ticket to boom town? Here are a few fun, not-so-scientific theories:
Theory 1: Villager Physiology – Built for the Burn
Maybe villager biology is simply better adapted to the Nether's harsh environment. Perhaps their bodies possess a natural fire resistance that allows them to slumber soundly amidst the infernal heat. Think of them as fireproof PJs compared to our flammable player nightgowns.
Theory 2: The Bed Bug Blues – A Glitch in the Nether's Matrix
Perhaps it's a bug in the Nether itself. Beds, designed for the Overworld, might malfunction when placed in a dimension not intended for restful nights. This glitch could cause an explosive reaction when a player interacts with the bed, but villagers, coded differently, remain blissfully unaffected.
Theory 3: The Gus Fring Special – Nether Beds are Rigged!
(Cue dramatic music) Enter the possibility of a deeper conspiracy. Maybe the Nether itself, or a cunning resident like a Piglin Brute, has received orders from The Man himself, to rig the beds with explosives specifically targeting players (Heat signature detection perhaps). This echoes the infamous scene from Breaking Bad where Gus Fring's seemingly normal wheelchair activates a hidden explosive. Sleep tight, players. You are taking a dirt nap if you dared to use one.
Theory 4: The Respawn Anchor's Evil Twin – A Nether-Specific Sleep System?
The recent introduction of the Respawn Anchor block adds fuel to the fire (pun intended). This block functions as a Nether-specific respawn point, but explodes if used in the Overworld. Perhaps beds in the Nether operate in a similar way, offering a safe sleep for residents but exploding upon player interaction, forcing them to rely on the expensive Respawn Anchor.
The Verdict: A Mystery for the Ages (or Until Mojang Speaks Up)
The true reason remains a delightful mystery. Until Mojang, the creators of Minecraft, officially unveil the logic behind this curious phenomenon, these theories offer a fun way to speculate on the quirks of the game's lore. So next time you see a villager napping peacefully in the Nether, remember, they might just be holding the key to a Nether-based sleep technology us players can only dream of (without exploding, that is).
