  • Magic is something that we use all the time in Minecraft. But do we ever stop to think about what exactly is going on? This video will attempt to make some connections to previous Deep Dives to more fully explain what's happening. If you haven't seen them, watching both if these will help this video make a lot more sense:

    My 5 year old son used to twist my arm into playing Minecraft with him in the early months of the pandemic. Since then, we play regularly on weekends together now. We've bonded to say the least over a video game.
    But to my point, as a middle age father, I find this videos extremely fascinating, and they feed my curious mind. I just love all the lore you breath into what I thought was a soulless game. I came here searching how to make potions, and I found a treasure of a channel. I've just binged several of your videos.
    It's amazing that one year later and I'm just learning that Minecraft has Withers! I'll show my son how to make them today and he is going to be thrilled.

What if only the player forgot the recipe, or doesn't have the tools to create it, but it still can be created, with the same recipe? It also explains the huge amount of gold blocks in bastions. The ancient builders went to the nether, saw the gold, and started mining, and later, they discovered netherite. I mean who doesn't want enchantad golden apples? The other places where they can appear are desert temples, bastions, ruined portals and dungeons, ancient builder-created structures.

    I'd speculate that you smear the lapis on the tool or weapon and it gains the properties of the enchantment. This also explains why a grinding stone takes away enchantment. This is because it grinds away the layers of lapis. It even explains the purple colored glow of the enchantment as lapis is blue, making it not far off from purple

    • @cole4973
      @cole4973 3 роки тому +28

      That would be a great video! I have a theory on that. I think ghasts were living at some point, and they were giant creatures. When they died, they left the bone structures. They lived in the Desert originally, but Endermen or ancient builders found them and brought some to the nether as a food source. When they were brought to the nether, they naturally began to head towards the Soul Sand Valleys which was most like their home. Skeletons also spawn in soul sand valleys, and I take skeletons as those who were hunters from the ancient builders. That further backs up my theory that they were brought there and allowed to breed for food. When one dies, though, why does it have a second life in the form of a ghast? This only occurs in the nether, so maybe it has something to do with all the soul energy in the Soul Sand Valleys? Also, when you bring a ghast to the overworld (then kill it), you get the achievement An Uneasy Alliance. RESCUE a ghast from the nether and bring it HOME to the overworld (then kill it). This implies they were originally from the overworld, and did not go to the nether of their own free will. One more thought, why would a ghast drop a tear, of all things? Another sign of its unhappiness? Perhaps the combination of soul energy and unfinished business** allowed it to come back in ghast form. Maybe it's aggressive towards you because Player reminds them of the ancient builders that trapped him in another dimension and hunted him for his food. If ghasts and skeletons naturally attacked each other that would prove my theory even more, but it's good enough for me that they spawn in the same biome, as well as the bone structures.
      **Unfinished business is commonly seen as a requirement or motivation for something to come back as a ghost after death. In the ghasts' case, it could be getting home to the overworld, revenge, or both.
      Wow this was long. Didn't mean to go into so much detail haha. What do you think?
      Edit: Someone corrected me and said there is a chance to find fossils underground. Maybe once the creatures realized they were being hunted, they began to retreat to the caves? This one could use some more thought.

    Experience seems to be tied to the action of making someone or something change: the mobs you kill change from alive to dead, the ores your smelt change from raw to refined, the items you trade with villagers change from one owner to another, and so on. It doesn't mean that new experience is generated everytime a change occurs, just that, through making things change, you channel experience into a more tangible force.

    This sounds simple but could the reason soul energy is much more common in the Nether is due to the fact that it is an “afterlife.” Is it possible that the soul energy of a player / mob that is not turned into experience (the energy you said could be “lost” in other ways) is sent down into “hell” as soul energy? Just a thought

  • @tyronorxy5646
    @tyronorxy5646 3 роки тому +3

    My note on the wither effect:
    I think the the wither effect is the process of draining soul energy from a living being.
    Wither skeletons for example have so little soul energy left in them, that when they touch you, the soul energy rushes from you into them (going from the high pressure place, to the low pressure place).
    The wither effect can be the thing that have converted most of the ancient builders into undead things (zombies/skeletons):
    The builders made the Wither which sucked the soul energy out of nearby beings, making them undead.
    The same applies to wither skeletons: some ancient builders died on their adventures,
    and the soul energy leaked out of their body into the ground, making the ground soul sand/soil and their skeletons wither skeletons.
    The nether star: the wither sucks soul energy out of nearby beings and stores it:
    as you said, it is stored in the nether star, that the wither drops.
    Piglins/hoglins become zombified outside the nether, because the Wither has been constructed in the overworld,
    where it drained the soul energy (at least a little bit of it) out off every living thing (including plants like grass), so when piglins and hoglins arrive - the two mobs that are the least resistant to being withered, since they have been created artificially from pigs, and without any additional ingredient - the soul energy from them goes into their surroundings.
    Why in the end? Because enderman are the ancient builders who have fleed from the wither into the End, so they have been near it a little bit, even if not long enough to become undead.
    Zombies can zombify villagers, because villagers are resistant to being withered from the outside, but when a zombie bites them, it makes their soul energy leak into the zombie, and their surroundigs.

    a few things i was thinking about during this amazing video
    1. if soul energy is more abundant and natural in the nether, does this mean the overworld and nether are coexisting ecosystems for soul and experience energy?
    2. is there evidence that the illagers knew or know of the soul energy cycle between the wither, soul sand and wither skeletons, and used this to expand their knowledge of magic?
    2a. how would the illagers knowing of the nether, soul cycle and the ecosystem there influence the overworld as a whole, since its largely unknown (to me at least) if piglins and illagers have a history?
    3. if the totems of undying are the culmination of the illagers' experimentation, and their knowledge of magic was expanded, what purpose were they expanding it for? were they threatened, or is there an unexplored reason as to why they obsessed over harnessing magic overall?
    3a. if the illagers are in danger of something, first off what is it they're afraid of, and second, what motivated their obsessive nature with magic?
    3b. at the time of minecraft's current in-universe state, it appears as if the illagers are at the top of the foodchain, they have all the power and as suggested, literally harvest villagers along with advanced sorcery well beyond anything seen in all dimensions, so are they the highest form of superpower in minecraft, does another civilization rival them or rather, did another civilization rival them?
    4. since it was mentioned that the experience goes into tools which in turn create more experience, does this mean that players, enchantment tables and the enchantment process are apart of the experience cycle? if so, what does this mean since there are no signs of players before you (the player) enter the game? has the ecosystem been unbalanced, chaotic or has it been supplemented with other creatures or processes in the player's absence?
    this concludes my major questions/possible explorative topics for today, i love these videos and id love to make my own but my writing of events goes into the realm of possible rather than probable most of the time lol. these are amazing regardless and i love watching through them.

    i feel like the wild update is gonna bring us some more lore regarding soul energy, like how the warden stores souls on its chest and how sculk spreads when something dies near it, perhaps it is capturing the soul energy from living entities to spread, then breaking it down to experience, which explains why sculk drops exp upon breaking.

  • @mikek1686
    @mikek1686 11 місяців тому +2

    One thing I noticed was the green particles that appear when a totem is activated. To me they look like shattered experiance orbs. This is even more evidence that experiance is being converted to soul energy. Your theory is pretty spot on.

  • @loblo5542
    @loblo5542 Рік тому +3

    I think using colors of these energies, we can identify what kind of properties they have.
    For example;
    Green/Yellow - Raw, Primordial and Life/Longevity related form(Experience orbs/Slimes when you view it as organic-related stuff/Parameters that indicate your tool's durability---maybe this is a stretch/And Emeralds could be related since they re essential when trading and you gain Exp as the result/Also, texture of Eye of Ender and Ender Pearl which transfers Green variant[Life Energy] into Purple variant[Teleportation]/Totem of Undying).
    Purple - Unstable, Processed version of green variant, Available of processing and transferring raw energy into something else(Color of Enchantment, which requires Exp when actually used on a gear/Eye of Ender and Ender Pearl Particle - Teleportation/Nether Portal/Enderman's eyes - able to teleport/Dragon breath - ignores armor and directly damages you if there's no additional potion effect or protection enchantment/And considering this, Ender Dragon might be Artificial being. Since it has Purple Bossbar just like the Wither - and Wither we see is undoubtedly artificial since we literally bring it to life)
    Blue - Form of energy that is modified to be conveyed(Soul speed boots on Soul sand/Sculk)
    Well, this is what I think it is... idk its just a theory.

  • @myth4663
    @myth4663 2 роки тому +3

    I've compiled a bunch of theories and questions about this series so I'm just going to repost them in one on all these videos to increase the odds of them getting answered or maybe even made into videos
    1. Do you think somewhere in the minecraft world there's a lost disk called disk 12?
    2. something I want to know is what a respawn anchor is supposed to be because respawning is not something that actually happens in universe but with the bed its obvious that the actual in universe use is just for sleeping but the respawn anchor only sets a spawn point so what's it actually doing in the context of the world?
    3. What are the differences between different forms of undeath? We see Zombies, husks, Zombie villagers, zombie horses, zoglins, zombie pigmen, and drowned who all just have decaying skin. Skeletons, wither skeletons, strays, and skeleton horses who just keep their bones then we see Phantoms who have a more ghost like appearance. Also as an addon to that what is a ghast because I always thought it was a ghost but it isn't so maybe it conveniently evolved like squids or something.
    4. Something that I find interesting is that other creatures when inflicted by the zombie virus seem to become mindlessly violent but when horses and piglins become zombified they act mostly normal, with piglins specifically the only differences are they seem to not have the full intelligence of normal piglins because A they don't still trade and B they only spawn with Swords and don't use cross bows. Another weird detail is that zombified piglins are immune to fire which is a huge red flag for a couple of reasons because one normal piglins aren't fire immune but most other undead creatures are particularly weak to fire. Another undead mob that has weird contradictions to most undead mobs are the zombie and skeleton horses which also keep their normal friendliness and seem to be the least far gone of these undead mobs not only being still domesticatable but being even easier to domesticate. I originally assumed that the undead virus only makes humans violent but that is simply not true because Phantoms and the wither are also not friendly. The biggest weird detail in all of this is that other undead mobs seem to still see these creatures as natural allies with skeletons riding skeleton horses and withers never attacking anything that is already undead.
    5. I think that the fox is most likely the most intelligent and possibly important mob that's completely a wild animal (meaning it has no building ability, doesn't exist in its own structure, can't trade, and doesn't have the ability to create a full society) I think that because they are one of 6 mobs that sleep (you, villagers, foxes, 3 illigers) which as you established in the Phantoms video is already important they also have the ability to do several other things that very few can do including using totems of undying, enchantments on weapons, and chorus Fruit, and also can sometimes be seen holding emeralds that weren't given to them and seem to care about them a bit more than other non food items which may have even inspired the villagers to hold a similar appreciation for emeralds although that and the rest of this is just speculation I think two possible explanations for this are that they could be some sort of ancestor to either villagers or ancient builders although it's kinda hard to place because they have the emerald connection to villagers but can do other things like defend themselves although it could be a common ancestor for both and then my second idea take a trip even further through speculation town and a bit into the early stages of creepy pasta Avenue with the possibility that they once were villagers or ancient builders (again it's kinda hard to place) who were turned by a magic enemy with the most likely culprit being the illigers but another possibility is that the illigers themselves might have accidentally turned some of there kind into foxes although that's unlikely because foxes are only hostile when something attacks it first and even then tend to prefer running away. Anyway foxes have a ton of weird and specific properties that I'd love to see your interpretations on.
    So those are all my pitches.
