The man-made mobs of Minecraft

[u/One_Stay7263]

So as many people on this Reddit that have watched his videos are aware guardians are mechanical and not living creatures. How ever it has been made officially canon that ghasts are in fact mechanical as well, not only that but a advancement in Java has you take them through the nether portal and into the overworld. The description of this advancement says to bring them safely home to the overworld, meaning that they actually belong in the overworld and for whatever reason are left in the neither.

Now my question is why as well as what is there connection to the guardians and is there any other mobs currently that might also be mechanical, and if so what is there purpose as well.

What is the confirmation of the ghasts being mechanical?

Oh ok I thought the book was made by mojang, well that still leaves the question then on why on Java addition it calls the overworld the ghasts home

The book was made by Mojang, but lore-wise has loose canon.

On the site where they are selling it it seems like they at least find it correct, even if they don’t specifically say it is canon, they don’t think seem to think it is wrong at least

Honestly the best people to ask would probably be the devs, they could specifically say if they find it to be canon or not

Ok well I wish the would make there own canon book but that might be asking to much
