Welcome to my index!
Chapter 1 is after this on the list.
I figure since I'm going the extra mile to make this a readable novel for practically anyone, why not go the extra block to make it even easier. Here, I will place anything about the story that I can't work into the story itself.
I will update this periodically to add anything that might help.
My Headcanon:
Of course I've had to extrapolate on things in the story in order to work it into a novel. They aren't giving me a lot to work with.
- Living Situations — I don't know why everyone assumes that they all live at the treehouse. It's way too small for the three of them. Besides, the whole place just screams Jesse. I'm going with, the treehouse is Jesse's home and since Jesse is the leader, all three of them spend most of their time there, but they all have their individual homes. This isn't absolute, but I think Axel is totally a pocket house type (basically a compact, simple house with only the essentials that could be easily moved and is designed to be efficient more than comfortable), and Olivia probably lives somewhere in town (this would make sense, since she cares so much about what other people think, for her to be around people more often than the others). As for Lukas and Petra, Petra just goes wherever the heck she wants, moving around a lot and just taking her belongings with her when she moves (though she probably has a secret stash or two), and Lukas probably lives somewhere in town as well.
- The Pocket! — In order to make sense of the fact that these people can hold a ton of stuff in their pockets, I'm saying that it's actually just an aspect of their world that they all have a Pocket, or 'inventory' for you Minecraft players, that can hold a plethora of different items and tools.
Glossary:
- The Nether — The Minecraft equivalent of Hell, except you can enter and leave as you please and it has nothing to do with the condemnation of your soul. :P The Nether is a dimension that can be accessed by making a portal of obsidian and igniting it with fire. It's a barren wasteland with oceans of lava and fire everywhere. Any standing water will vaporize instantly. It can't support life in the traditional sense, but is nonetheless home to a variety of hostile creatures.
- Zombies — Zombies in this world aren't really people who have been turned into zombies, but rather just creatures. Zombies have one of the longest attention ranges as they can sense people from a mile away. Once they home in on a target, they focus on it until the target is eliminated, they are eliminated, the target goes out of range, or they acquire a new target.
- Chicken Jockeys — Chicken jockeys are little tiny little zombies that will mount chickens and run everywhere rather than stumble around like normal zombies. They are deliberate in battle and seem to actually have a brain unlike the larger ones that attack mindlessly.
- Zombie-Sized Chickens — Don't exist. :P
- The Ender Dragon — A black dragon (need I say more?). (Okay, fine.) It is located in the End (more on that later) and breathes purple fire. (What? They really don't tell you much about it. Just Google it. :P)
- Wither Skeletons — Tall, charred skeletons that wield stone swords and deal great damage on top of afflicting their opponent with Wither sickness (see below). When killed, Wither skeletons will occasionally drop Wither skulls.
- Blazes — Living up to their name, blazes are constantly blowing smoke and will literally go up in flames whenever they are about to literally fire. Smoldering rods float around their main body which they will use for melee attacks (Ouch!). They make a metallic labored breathing sound and are hurt by water, including rain and snowballs.
- Zombie Pigmen — Exactly what they sound like. Pigmen are a lot smarter than normal zombies (more on them later) but share the same attention range (A very long one). They're hive minds that normally just wander around moaning pensively, and when provoked will let out a screech that any other pigman within earshot will hear, prompting him to come to his fellow pig's aid.
- Redstone — Redstone is the electronics of Minecraft. It is very brittle, so it turns to powder when mined, and can be laid out like gunpowder as wiring. Redstone dust can also be used in crafting to make redstone components such as pistons, dispensers, and other more advanced circuitry.
- Wither Sickness — A horrible condition in which the victim withers away. Energy is sapped, and the constitution degrades over time. Symptoms include dizziness, coughing, pain all over the body. It will wear off after time but can prove fatal before doing so. Like all status ailments, it can be cured by drinking milk.
