Why Minecraft is a Post Apocalyptic Wasteland

So. Minecraft. The happy game where you build things and mine and craft. Lego without the pain (seriously, do not step on Lego). But could it really be something darker? Could it actually be a post apocalyptic wasteland, where your character is the only survivor that hasn't been mutated beyond all recognition?

Well, yeah, because otherwise I'd be talking about something else, like My Little Pony or something (probably not My Little Pony, but who knows?). But what proof do we have for this?

Lets look at Steve?

This Steve? That wasn't a question,
his name just makes it look that way.
Notice something that makes him different from all the other villagers in the world of Minecraft?

His nose. Namely he's like Voldemort and doesn't have one.

Do you know what shares this trait? Zombies.

They also wear the exact same clothes as him, have the same sized eyes and are practically just Steve? with a different paint job. Now, notice the shape he has instead of a nose. He has two points that are darker than the rest of his skin. Do you know who also have that?

Skeletons. That makes it so that both of the mobs with the same sort of face as Steve? are the undead ones, with only villagers being the living ones, with mutated huge noses. Steve?'s the only one like him in the game (unless you go on multiplayer mode but shh. Logic isn't cool here.)

Plus, there are signs that there was once civilisation. There's the dummied out humans, and the mineshafts, jungle temples and desert temples. This implied there used to be a civilisation,but somehow it got destroyed, except for the mutated villagers who hide in their wooden huts, waiting for their old friends, who have been turned into the undead, to destroy them and turn them into one of their own.

But where did this come from?

Well. when you defeat the Ender Dragon, the credits have two people talking about the meaning of life. Among other things, this implies that the End wasn't naturally part of the Minecraft world. The End being around is actively corrupting to the world, as more and more Endermen enter the main world and more and more Ender portals are being let off, ones built by the original civilisation that came before, but got destroyed... by the mysterious voices?

Maybe?

I might be wrong. Comment if you think something else caused it, and if so, what is it?
