Charlie Huenemann

“To say that the phenomena of his world are routine and fairly predictable is to say that Steve’s world is governed by laws of nature. His laws are certainly not our laws. For instance, he can place a block of dirt, set another block on top of it, and then chop out the first block, and the second one will remain suspended in the air. Source blocks of water or lava will continuously produce water or lava, seemingly ex nihilo. Torches burn forever. But though all this seems magical to us, it is perfectly natural to Steve. It is how his world works, and he can rely on its own patterns of regularity. To be governed by laws of nature is not necessarily to be governed by our laws of nature; any laws, so long as they are laws, will do.”
