Probably coincidence, even though the language files have been expanded upon over the course of years, I don't think the words for 'mine' and 'craft' were added to DF after Minecraft was created, they're very likely older than Minecraft.

The word for "craft" looks to have been in the game since the very first release, but the word "mine" wasn't added until version 0.27 (when Fortress mode went 3D).

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
