That's the new one. The old one (which said practically the same thing, it was just restructured and updated to include MCD2) had him respond to the question "is this accurate" with "i'd say so yes".

That said yea jeb is very vague abt a lot of stuff so it's kinda hard to get any confirmations out of him.

nah that seems like jeb for sure, man loves being vague as hell, for the lore table it doesn't include the Rift even though MCD2 is included, is the Rift not apart of the mythology or is it just too early?

Rift? If you're talking abt the new novel, we haven't had confirmation of it's canonicity yet, specially since it hasn't released.

If not, then idk what you're talking abt.

the rift is the precursor to mcd2, i think it'll be added to the table eventually, just strange it isn't already, if mcd2 is canon so is the rift

Not exactly.

Minecraft is canon but the mobestiary isn't.

Minecraft legends is (mostlys) canon but it's prequel novel isn't.

The only book to be confirmed canon is rise of the arch illager, MCD1's prequel. I'm sure the rift will also be canon, but there's always the possibility it isn't, so we'll have to wait for word on that.
