Hi, I've seen pieces of your minecraft au and was wondering if you had any thoughts on the nature of XP orbs? I have some headcanons of my own lol and I haven't met many people who have commented on the subject. You kinda mentioned them in passing in one of your posts is why I brought this up. Just curious, thanks if you decide to read this :)
This ask finally made me sit down and think on what I want EXP to be in this AU: 'EXP' is an energy force made off of ‘lived experience’ of the world itself, the earth, materials, creatures etc.
It’s barely visible, you only notice it if you know it’s there, and it’s more of a feeling, like a buzz in the air.Â
But it can be condensed into a bottle using unknown methods (unknown to Steve that is, just like ominous bottles and totems). And it can be harnessed to perform magic (enchanting… and i guess also repairing tools… maybe Steve finds it hard to repair stuff rather than just build anew. They’re immortal, they can always just start anew. Repairing what's broken is harder.)
