Biomes! If you’ve played Minecraft, you’ve likely encountered at least one of them. Well, unless the way you play Minecraft is by never leaving the title screen (no shade here – that’s my preferred way to play too). But why are Minecraft’s biomes the way they are? Why are the deserts so desolate? Why are there so many grassy biomes? Why is there a spooky mansion full of jerks in the Dark Forest one?
生物群系！但凡你玩过 Minecraft，都应该至少见到过一个生物群系⸺除非你认为玩标题屏幕也算是玩 Minecraft（无意冒犯，毕竟我也喜欢这么玩）。但你有没有想过 Minecraft 里的生物群系会是这个样子？沙漠何以如此荒芜？为什么有这么多长满绿草的群系？幽暗的森林里怎么会有座住满恶棍的阴森府邸？

These are just some of life’s eternal mysteries that we’ve selflessly answered in our new show Around the Minecraft World in 80 Biomes! It’s a mix of Minecraft facts, development insight, and explanations of WHY we made the Overworld the way it is. Oh, but it’s also a fight for the very future of Minecraft itself – because an evil ex-employee has inserted a dreadful mob called "Mobbo" into the game’s code, and now two "heroes" have to go into the game and stop Mobbo before they destroy Minecraft forever.
这些都不过是我们已经在新系列《八十群系环游世界》中大慈大悲揭开的部分生命永恒之谜。这个系列包含有 Minecraft 中的事实、对开发过程的探秘，还解释了我们如此设计主世界的原因。噢，更重要的是为 Minecraft 的未来而战⸺有个邪恶的前雇员将可怕的生物 Mobbo 插进了游戏的代码中，现在我们的两位“勇者”必须进入游戏，赶在 Mobbo 毁掉 Minecraft 前将它钳制住。

…Wait, what? Hopefully, this trailer will clear everything up!
⋯⋯哈，我在说什么？希望这条预告片能把事情说清楚！

CHARACTERS
角色

An epic new show needs an epic new cast! Unfortunately, no one epic was interested. So let’s meet the cast we did manage to get. First off, it’s the man so British he weeps tea, Narrator .
好剧要配好演员。但很遗憾，没有什么好的演员对此感兴趣。那就来再见见这两位熟面孔吧。首先是这位纯正英伦范，哭出来的不是泪水而是茶水的旁白。

Narrator is the pasty-skinned unhealthy-looking fellow on the left. Not the green-skinned unhealthy-looking one on the right.
左边面色发白、面容憔悴的为旁白。右边面色发绿、面容憔悴的不为旁白。

Joining him, because he’s even more hopeless alone, is the obsolete computer who’s constantly deleting our Minecraft saves just for fun, M.A.R.I.L.L.A .
要是让他孤身一人前去可就真是玩完了，所以与他作伴的还有一台狂删 Minecraft 存档只为作乐的破烂电脑 M.A.R.I.L.L.A.。

M.A.R.I.L.L.A is a computer so obsolete, she can’t even run Minecraft Dungeons. Wish I’d known that before I put the disc in her, because she refuses to give it back :(
M.A.R.I.L.L.A 是台破旧不堪的电脑，连 Minecraft Dungeons 都带不动。要是我把光碟插进去之前能知道就好了，她现在都不肯把光碟还我 :(

Then of course there’s the worst mob ever made. Seriously, this one makes a phantom look like a winning lottery ticket. Sorry to have to do this, but allow me to introduce you to Mobbo .
紧接着的当然是史上最糟糕生物。讲真，见过它之后你就会觉得幻翼真是眉清目秀。虽然很不愿意但还是要履行公务，让我们有请 Mobbo。

Mobbo is what happens when you ignore all of Mojang Studios’ lovely, talented developers and designers and let me make a mob instead. Sorry!
如果你冷落 Mojang Studios 里天使般的、天才般的开发者和设计师，让我来设计生物，就会诞生像 Mobbo 这种东西。抱了个歉！

But it’s not just Mobbo that our heroes will have to stop in order to save Minecraft from ruin. For they must also do battle with an evil man whose morals are almost as dubious as his American accent. I speak in a frightened whisper of the legendary Jonathan Minecraft .
要挽 Minecraft 于既毁，光是抵挡 Mobbo 还不够，还得跟一个恶人斗争。听他那一口美国腔就让人怀疑其道德底线。我只好用惊恐的耳语来介绍这位传奇的乔纳森·麦块。

Jonathan has big, horrible plans for Minecraft. Good for him!
乔纳森心怀对 Minecraft 的宏伟却骇人的计划。挺好！

Jonathan is the ex-husband of Narrator. Hang on, he married that jerk? Well, I suppose we all did stupid things when we were young. For example, I used to work for Mojang Studios. Anyway, Jonathan clearly isn’t taking the divorce well, as he’s using Mobbo to change the Overworld into something truly terrible. You’ll have to watch the show to find out what! Let's take closer look at the available episodes!
乔纳森是旁白的前夫。慢着，他娶了那傻子？算了，谁年轻时没干过傻事呢。就好比我也曾为 Mojang Studios 工作。无论如何，乔纳森明显没有从婚姻破裂中恢复过来，他正利用 Mobbo 来把主世界变作一场噩梦。快来观看节目一探究竟！我们先看看已经推出的剧集！


EPISODE 1
第一集

In the exciting debut, Episode One: Starting a New Adventure, Narrator and M.A.R.I.L.L.A explore the beginning biomes of the Overworld to try and find Mobbo. They discover how we balance Minecraft’s opening hours (er, somewhat successfully), why forests and greenery are such common starting points in video games, and a mysterious new restaurant. Watch it below!
在精彩的开场戏，第一集：开启一段全新的冒险中，旁白和 M.A.R.I.L.L.A 探索了主世界的开端群系，力图找到 Mobbo。他们探究了我们如何平衡 Minecraft 游戏中开端时段（呃，差强人意）、为何森林和绿地在视频游戏的初始场景中那么常见，以及一家神秘餐厅。可在下方观看！

EPISODE 2
第二集

In Episode Two: Desert of Doom, Narrator helpfully mansplains why Minecraft’s deserts are slightly feature-lite compared to other biomes, and M.A.R.I.L.L.A ignores him as she’s more curious about the new theme park that’s opened in the desert. A theme park? In Minecraft? See the impossible become possible by watching it here below!
在第二集：厄运沙漠中，旁白得意洋洋地解释了 Minecraft 沙漠群系的地物相对其他群系较少的原因，M.A.R.I.L.L.A 则不以为然，她更好奇开在沙漠里的那家主题乐园。主题乐园？开在 Minecrarft 里面？在下面的视频中见见这个奇观吧！

EPISODE 3
第三集

That brings us to Episode Three: Woodland Mansion Mystery . Someone has Game Over’d Steve! Can Narrator and M.A.R.I.L.L.A solve the crime, clear their names, catch the real culprit, and even explain some of the design decisions that went into crafting the woodland mansion? Let’s find out by watching it below!
来到第三季：林地府邸的奥秘。有人“失败”了 Steve！旁白和 M.A.R.I.L.L.A 能否扫清疑云、洗清罪名、抓出真凶，顺便再讲讲林地府邸的设计策略？快看看下面的视频吧！

This ridiculous biomes show is very much a sequel series to The Secrets of Minecraft, except that show had viewers and won an award. Not an award for writing. Yet I still took all the credit? Weird!
这档关于群系的奇葩节目很大程度上是《Minecraft 的秘密》的续作，只不过那个系列真的有观众看，并且还拿了奖（但不是颁给编剧的）。但我还是领了所有功劳？真是怪了！

Anyway, we’ll be releasing a new episode of Around the Minecraft World in 80 Biomes every month, only on the Official Minecraft YouTube channel. Subscribe today so you don’t miss out! Then compliment me on "my" award. Again. LOUDER.
总之，我们每个月会发一集《八十群系环游世界》，请锁定 Minecraft YouTube 官方频道（也可以锁定MCBBS B站官号）。快快关注，以免错过！然后再去夸夸我“拿”的奖，要夸大声点。
