I make some thread like this once a year or so, so here we go again.
Before, I've said Minecrafters are either outcasts, or abandoned.
I have a new idea though, that we are explorers and settlers. Our job is to permanently explore and civilize the world, and to reclaim what was possibly once humanity's world and works.
There was a specific detail that led me to this which I can't remember, I will update this thread when I do.
How we got here is fair game for speculation, your purpose and goals are entirely up to you.
If we have a "boss" that sent us here with a goal they aren't here, have no control over us and no intention or ability to bring us back to wherever we came from so it makes no practical difference to us.

I'm led to disagree because of the ending sequence, which implies our players are always being watched by a pair of godlike entities who can speak any language in the alphabet as well as encoded ones such as the static and bizarre symbols they use. This is a bit different than humans sending other humans, but two gods designating humans to a new world with a certain goal for them, such as freeing The End or restoring the world, seems reasonable to me.
Minecraft doesn't have any official lore, the ruins, buildings, and villages we find are just there for exploration. But this does not mean you can't up with your own lore for your world though.
Of course. But to me, the excessive focus on ruined structures over functional ones implies that Minecraft is a dying world, and it needs people to save it because clearly the sentient species left are not doing that.
If you read the "end poem" carefully, it is a conversation of two "gods"(word used loosely to describe supernatural beings with a higher level of awareness) about the human player sitting in front of the screen. Referring to real life as 'the long dream', and the game as dreaming of other things. Referring not only to MC but also to other games the player may play.
Pretty much the only sentence referring to Minecraft out of all that text:
Sometimes the player dreamed it was a miner, on the surface of a world that was flat, and infinite. The sun was a square of white. The days were short; there was much to do; and death was a temporary inconvenience.
And to a lesser extent, this:
And the player moves through a story, which is a forest of information planted by a man called Julian, on a flat, infinite world created by a man called Markus, that exists inside a small, private world created by the player
Referring, most likely, to the author of the 'end poem' Julian Gough and Mojang founder Markus Persson (Notch)
There is literally nothing about 'Minecraft lore' in that text.
LOL, this theory definitely has a chance for living. I mean, we've always been exploring the world and making it our home, so I guess your theory is right.

If any game is included, then Minecraft is among them and is one game the gods plant you in.

I distinguish between 'conquest' and 'settlement' though. It's a world where half the life is zombified or otherwise messed up, and most buildings are long decayed and nature taking over again slowly (although some passive mobs act as if they are still domesticated).
I don't think the developers intended it to be that way. It wouldn't make sense if they had modern buildings there instead. And most theories on Minecraft lore doesn't have evidence that makes sense. There's always something wrong.
Mehh I don't know, really. I just can't buy that what seems so much like a zombie apocalypse is in fact not one.

Just testing.
