Conlang Idea #1: Cultural Evolution and New Words

One aspect of worldbuilding and conlang creation is not just the evolution of a language's phonology and grammar, but also the evolution of the culture speaking the language. This is something that Biblaridion never touched upon in his Conlang creation tutorial, I wrote something on Wattpad that I still need to finish and perhaps revise as well, where I also tackle the evolution of a culture of a people speaking a protolang, with the invention and discovery of new things and items that would lead to new words and roots.

For the speakers of Proto-Junglecraftish(temporary name), I'm thinking of them creating new types of pickaxes and other tools and weapons leading to them mining and discovering new types of materials: gold, mineable redstone, and diamonds, for example. They could figure out the invention of carts and rails to travel large distances. They could figure out how to, over time, build rail networks. For the two languages to diverge, the speakers would probably have to spread out throughout different island areas.

I don't know what the timeline should be for the events to occur, especially since these events could occur with the rise of sound changes and grammar changes occurring. There could be some intertwining in some way. Yet, new words could emerge during the transition and divergence. And I'd like to sort of apply some differences between the two descendant cultures of the one speaking the protolang.

They could develop redstone machinery to harvest sugar cane, cocoa beans, etc, though they might not be able to venture into the Nether to discover it and quartz and gather it. Because of this, they might not grasp the concept of comparators or even observers. Maybe they could learn from foreigners like the series players to go into the Nether, gather mine for quartz and whatnot, maybe barter with the piglins(with the speakers coining a term "pig+person"), and perhaps create comparators and observers to improve their farms and transportation. Maybe it could lead to some English loanwords entering the language, similar to how English creoles like Hawai'ian creole and Tok Pisin exist, though other creoles exist, like Haitian creole between Haitian indigenous languages and French, or Chavacano between indigenous Philippine languages and Spanish. There might be a creole between English and the language with trilled affricates and pharyngealized consonants, or there might not. What do you guys think?

Also, those transportation methods could be invented independently by the two groups of people.

And there might need to be new words in advance, especially with my ideas for sound changes.
