DEEP DIVES

June is Pride Month, but here on Minecraft.net, we're still celebrating the wonderful LGBTQ+ community, celebrating yourselves, recognising how far we've come, and building a 25-foot tall pride flag full of fish. What was that last one, you say? Ah, that's how me and my friends celebrated on our server, of course!
每年的六月都令人倍感自豪，但在Minecraft.net这个网站上，我们仍在赞颂着优秀的LGBTQ+社区，肯定你们自己，承认一路走来我们所取得的成就，所以我们修建了一面骄傲旗旗，它高25英尺，带有鱼的图案。最新的一个成就是什么，你问道？哦，那当然是我和朋友在服务器上，赞扬我们所热爱的事物的方式！


My friends and I met in a Minecraft server run by a streamer we all liked to watch. While building our houses around the central community area, we quickly realised that we had a lot in common, and built up our friendship through resource sharing and collaborative projects... and occasionally, trying to wrangle foxes and polar bears that really didn't want to be wrangled into being our pets.
我与我的朋友因一个Minecraft服务器而相遇并相识，服务器由一个我们都喜欢观看的主播所开设。社区中心修建房屋的时候， 我们很快意识到，我们有很多共同点，我们分享资源，项目合作，与之而来的是建立起一份珍贵的友谊……偶尔我们也会因为某些问题而争得面红耳赤，比如狐狸和北极熊是否真的不想成为我们的宠物。


Since many of our server members were part of the LGBTQ+ community, one of the first and most important things we built in our shared village was a giant waving Pride flag above the central building, made out of wool. We should probably have been saving that wool for beds, but no – the flag was more important than sleep! A few months later, we built a new server (mostly just so we could start fresh, for fun), and this one had an even BIGGER Pride flag, which took a couple of us an entire afternoon to figure out. We ended up settling on a huge glass box made of rainbow-coloured glass, filled with fish in the Pride flag colours. It floated about 50 feet up in the air, and cast a beautiful rainbow-shadow when the sun shone through it.
因为我们服务器的许多成员都来自LGBTQ社区，我们做的事情中，第一件也是最重要的一件事是修建一面羊毛旗帜，在我们公共村庄的中心建筑上修建一面它十分巨大，在风筝飘扬，象征着我们荣耀。其实我们应该把羊毛用来制作床的,但我们没有——旗帜远比羊重要!几个月后,我们开设了一个新的服务器(主要是因为这样的话，有新鲜感,我们可以享受乐趣，并且更好玩),这个服务器甚至有一个更大的荣耀旗帜,建造它又花了我们几个人整整一下午的时间。我们最终定居在一个彩虹色的巨大玻璃盒子上，里面装满了荣耀旗帜颜色的鱼（指五颜六色的鱼）。它漂浮在超过50英尺高的空中，当太阳出来时，阳光透过玻璃，在地面上撒下梦幻般的彩虹色光斑。

"Minecraft servers tend to reflect the communities they start in," says one of my server pals, Tuckiozi, a non-binary pansexual. "I feel like the big rainbow flag... kinda highlights what Minecraft brings to that equation, because you are literally shaping a landscape." Redbird – a non-binary friend who built an entire tundra village with me – agrees: "I definitely think the important thing that happened in our server... is that being queer was not just accepted, but kind of celebrated?"
"Minecraft服*务器往往会体现出它们所开始的社区的品质，"我的一个服*务器合伙人，非二元性泛性恋者Tuckiozi说道。”我喜欢这个巨大的彩虹旗帜……尤其是因为它所强调的Minecraft，它给这个状况带来了什么，因为你真的就在描绘一幅风景画。“Redbied,一个与我共同修建了整个苔原村庄的非二元性泛性恋者也认同道: "我当然认为服务器上发生的的事中，最重要的一件是……同性恋不仅被接受，更有一点点被赞扬？"


The gaming and online world includes a lot of unfriendly spaces where different communities, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, don't feel welcome. Lyra, a trans-femme non-binary person who was one of the flag builders on our server told me, "I feel unsafe expressing myself in a proudly queer and trans fashion in non-queer spaces. But online communities, especially well moderated ones, present a safe space for queer and gender non-conforming people."
在不同的社区中，这个游戏所构建的虚拟世界也有许多不友好的地方，这让包括 LGBTQIA+的每个人都倍感不适。一个跨性别的非二元性别的人，服务器上一个旗帜建造者告诉我，"在非同性恋的地方表达我依此为傲的同性恋，我会感到危险。但在网络社区中，尤其是管理良好的社区中，同性恋者和非二元性别者都感到很安全。"



Minecraft also allows you to craft your online persona, which is a big part of discovering or exploring your identity. "The text communication built into games like Minecraft allow players to present themselves however they wish, without having to worry about how much their voice might "pass"," says C, a demigirl friend who picked up Minecraft for the first time to join us. "The anonymity of online games has truly helped in that regard."
Minecraft也允许你去创建你的虚拟形象，这在你发现与探索自身的过程中是不可或缺的一部分"通过Minecraft所拥有的游戏内置文本聊天系统，玩家被允许抒发他们内心的真实想法，而不用担心他们的声音是否有资格“通过”，一个第一次接触Minecraft并加入我们的半少女C说道。网络*游戏的匿名性在那方面也能起很大作用。"

We wanted to create one of those safe spaces – a place where you know you're welcome the second you spawn into our brightly-coloured base. Of course, it's not just Minecraft that helps people discover themselves and be true to their own identity. Many online games will let you customise your character and your surroundings to represent yourself as you want to be seen by others – and surround yourself with people who accept you for who you are.
我们想创造一个安全的地方——一个拥有彩虹色基地，你第一眼看就感觉十分舒适的地方。当然，不仅仅只有Minecraft会帮助人们发现自我，坚持真实的自我。这也是许多在线游戏所支持的：如你所想地被他人看见，去自定义你的游戏角色与你所处的环境——并与那些能够接受真实的你的人待在一起。

Through Minecraft, I managed to find a wholesome and welcoming LGBTQ+ community, and a group of friends to adventure the world with – plus a whole lot of fish. For those of you reading this who feel alone, left out, or confused, I promise: you will find your community some day, too.

通过Minecraft，我成功找到了一个管理良好且充满激情的LGBTQ+社区，和一群共同探索世界的朋友——还有一大堆鱼。如过屏幕前的你感到孤独、被忽视或对人生感到迷惘，我相信你终有一天也会找到适合你的社区。
