Trivia

There is a "(very) tiny Halo reference" that Minecraft:Marc Watson put in text that's "not on something players would normally have access to."<ref>Template:Bsky</ref> He also snuck "in some very, very minor references to other Minecraft games, including Legends. Somewhere deep in the game."<ref>Template:Bsky</ref>
