Trivia
- Merl’s skin seemed to be inspired by a Discord profile picture of the developer, Ledski.
- It was revealed that the cat in the profile picture had the initials of PB.[1]
- Merl’s name stands for "Minecraft In Real Life", which is explained to have been Minecraft Earth’s working title.[2] However, it is likely a backronym.[dubious]
