#concepting

i havent designed things in soooooooooooo long

ok so main thing i wanted to do is have them all be connected with the red color for the redstone bug, thats why they have those markings

theyre all coffee themed because of my old concept of all modder/plugin/datapack ytbers, stemming from the joke of "java" edition

normally its meant for ooc designs but since their status as this kind of minecrafter is relevant to their prank, i think its worth its fair to have it more apparent

so fundy is latte, now specifcally iced latte, focus on white and fluff for like cream, ice for ice

pheonix is spiced chai coffee, i mifht make it different, change it to pumpkin spice but jsut gnenerally a spiced coffee, hes basically a researcher because of his cursed minecraft videos where he just bascailly reviews cursed minecraft things, hes basically a walking flaming guy

They took over double the amount of recorded human history to develop into a type two civilization, mostly due to the fact a large portion of their discoveries, such as how stars and the sun works, required post-industrial era devices. This included discovering gravity, and the curvature of their planet.

They have two moons, which are both smaller than earth's moon. They are also a bit farther from their star, resulting in cooler temperatures, and slightly more common eclipses. Because of their moons they are also more protected from interstellar dangers and meteorites. This helped with keeping their evolution rather unchanged and peaceful.

Their planet is almost entirely made up of water, with lots of shallows and small continents that, at most, would be the size of places like the UK. Due to the lack of large land masses, it is often used very sparingly, for farms, resources, and occasionally luxury living spaces. Artificial islands are also a thing, and help contribute to farming and other things that require flat, dry surfaces.

They do not have any understanding of color and light, instead relating light with heat/energy. The only light they produce is on accident, or is from things they use that emit heat, like heating lamps for example.

Fossils are very rare to find, and are usually found on accident. Honestly I think they've accidentally destroyed fossils before, because they've struggled with distinguishing between different rock textures. This also influences how well they're able to tell between certain minerals. Before the industrial era, they were only able to distinguish minerals by feel and sound.

Another thing, considering Selics are soft-bodied, is that when they decompose, they only leave behind their teeth and claws. These are typically preserved and collected, either to be buried in the seabed, or to be hung up in homes as a respectful display. Sometimes families will have generations worth of jaws, collected into a huge heirloom of art

They first evolved in deep water, inside caves with air pockets. They eventually started exploring farther out and made their home near the surface of water. This led to them developing lungs that could handle higher oxygen concentration. A large portion of their oxygen is provided through underwater plants.

For societal systems, they rely on elected councils, and a representative that acts as a monarch. They do have a royal family in order to have more effectively prepared and trained individuals for leading the different factions of their species.

The current day monarch is Monakeem Posi, which I illustrated the other night for fun :D
