i am not joking we need to force teach cooking in schools. like. it is an essential thing for survival. do you know how easy it is to make things if you know even the bare bones shit about how cooking works. we need to teach teenagers how far you can take an onion and some other veggies it’’s sad that people grow up not knowing how to prepare literally anything. and i’m not talking about oh this home ed class taught me how to make chicken nuggets at home i’m talking about learning the balancing of sweetness and acidity and saltiness and bitterness and shit like that and techniques and oil temperatures and how meats cook. it needs to be taught because it’s literally not even that difficult and it matters so much

Minecraft Colour Symbolism

i thought too much about what meanings in-universe players would give to colours. enjoy my rambling!

Red: the most notable red thing in minecraft is redstone. for this reason, red represents energy, tech, and power. it also has correlations to the nether, with the red netherrack and crimson plants.

Orange: orange is seen in acacia wood, copper, lava, and flames. orange is heat and creation, colouring raw materials and worked metal, as well as the glow of the furnace.

Yellow: many yellow things glow or shine, like the sun, glowstone, or gold. yellow represents light. it is also the colour of protective totems, and of wheat ready to be harvested. it can symbolize happiness and safety.

Green: green represents the cycle of life and death, being the colour of the experience lost when things die. green colours living plants and deadly mobs and poison. it may also represent chance, being the colour of the villagers currency and the subject of their randomized trades.

Blue: soulflame, lapis, the vex, the shine of enchantments... blue often has magical correlations. blue is also the colour of value and greed, with diamonds, powerful magic, and the ever-greedy vex taking on this colour. And the darker blues, those that colour the deep oceans and hidden depths, bring symbolism of mystery and curiosity.

Purple: the colour of nether portals and dragons breath, as well as many ender things. purple represents other dimensions, and possibly travel as a whole, since elytra are also a purple-y shade. a notable exception to these correlations is amethyst- is there a reason for that?

Pink: pink is the colour of pigs and axolotls, as well as the rare natural pink sheep. it colours friendly creatures, with even the piglins being willing to trade. pink is friendship and community, it is the safety of a peaceful place. it is rare things and good luck- finding a pink sheep in the wild is a lucky occurrence for sure.

Black: black is the void, the darkness of night, the wither and its skeletons. it is death. but the withers poison doesnt stop until you are dead, the darkness is everpresent, the void cannot be conquered. obsidian takes forever to break. black does not give up, it is endurance, willpower, stubbornness.

Gray: the colour of stone, everywhere, unnoticed. gray is neutral. but it is also deep caves and the hidden treasures within, the dangerous illager raids that bring valuable loot. it is adventure and hidden value.

White: snow and bones, sheets of paper and the quills to write on them, the quartz used in important redstone machines. white is cold, and also intelligence and knowledge. clouds are white, as are shulker bullets and phantom membrane. white is associated with air.

Brown: dirt is brown, and so is wood, and leather. the basic tools and the ground itself are brown. it is stability, and the earth. it can represent beginnings. brown can also mean home, like the wooden starter house that nearly all players have made.

In summary, without all the fancy wording:

red: energy, power, tech, the nether

orange: heat, creation, fire and lava

yellow: light, happiness, safety

green: life and death, plants, chance

blue: value, magic, mystery, curiosity and greed, water

purple: other dimensions, travel, the end, whatever amethyst is

pink: friendship, rare things, community, safety, good luck

black: the void, death, darkness, endurance, stubbornness and willpower

grey: neutrality, caves, adventure, hidden value

white: cold, air, intelligence/knowledge

brown: stability, earth, home

I ended up having a really interesting conversation with some people at the bus stop today. They were getting out of some sort of ‘clean and sober’ meeting and had starting saying how they were so bored because they didn’t have anything to do, and had to stay at home because all their old friends would pull them back. So I said something like, ‘So this is the time to do all the stuff your parents told you they didn’t have money/time for!’ “Whatcha mean?” “You know, like when you were five and you REALLY wanted to have that toy or do that thing and you were like, ‘Please mom please I gotta have this I gotta go do this’ and they went ‘Hell no you think I’m paying for that do you want to goddamn EAT?’ “ And this light went on in their eyes. The lady is going to go check thrift stores for an Easybake Oven and I told her about Wilton cake decorating classes. The dude is going to Griffith Park and ride horses, because, ‘I always wanted to be a cowboy, and you can’t drink when you’re on a horse ‘cause you’ll fucking die!’ Fuck it. This is what being an adult is. Sure it’s bills and work and relationships, but damn it, it’s also time to do the things you LIKE. I signed up for a free class/lecture on Water Gardens. I’m going. It’s time.
