Welcome back everyone! There were so many theories that I couldn't possibly do all of them. Put yours in the comments so that people can read it! Also, come discuss it on the Discord: discord.gg/3xbkSmFbYy
Hey RGN i got a challenge for you.
I want you to try to explain how three of these mods could fit into your lore.
The twilight forest
Atum 2
And primitive mobs.
Sadly i cannot join your discord for some reason so i'm posting it here
The real question is how long will it take to get enough subscribers to collab with matpat
Yeah these theories are 100 times better than mine.
More please
I get why my theory didn't end up even in the finalists. the thing is, it is meant to fit in with my (partially complete) complete story of Minecraft. So it would need some context. You had to make with 500 people too so there is that.
When he's all done with his theories, he needs to make a video that ties them all together, then we can see the entire story line in front of our eyes.
Yes, once I feel like I have a good sense of everything I will do that
@@RetroGamingNow Awesome! Can't wait!
Me and a few guys from his discord server made a server like that
now the question is who will make a complete timeline first: RetroGamingNow or MatPat?

Theory: all Minecraft seeds are part of the same gigantic planet and the world border keeps you from traveling to other seeds
Edit: you could call a seed a “coordinate” to a location on the planet
Further edit: check the replies to see math on how big this planet would be
Thats great
Thats actually fascinating. That would make the minecraft planet unfathomably massive
So all the players are living in one OMEGA simulation separated by barriers but sometimes allowed to play together using an advanced streaming machine
There is a "Border' in BE actually, but its only because of a Glitch
So the planet is spawn to world border squared (area of the world) which is around 30 mil? And there are idk how many seeds, so the planet is like how big tho

Theory: Everything in Minecraft needs balance, time after time we see this. Sheep are slain by wolves in the forest, villagers are slain by illagers, (most) harmful mobs are slain by iron Gollums. Mobs in Minecraft seem to have a natural balance to them. But for things like the ender dragon, there is no balance. The player exists to bring balance to the world. But if there are ancient ruins that implies in the past there was balance. What catastrophic event took place to bring these interconnected dimensions out of balance? Why are they even connected? How did this happen? Is everything unbalanced because somehow they became connected? What happened to all the humans? The humans obviously did something causing a catastrophic event but what? I theorize that the dimensions were all balanced, and when the human's civilization hit its peak they desired more.... they created integrate ways between the dimensions, and then one day it all came crashing down and all these gateways were broken resulting in mass extinction. In their place a new similar species, the villagers, thrived where they left off. Right before this event the enderman learned much information from the humans through the trade of items and goods and used this information to form their own interdimensional technology to bring back their lost brethren and ask the humans what happened, but when they arrived there were no humans...... and the portal they made, made it impossible to return to its origin
From here is when the players arrives, who knows how the player came to existence

I know you’re probably never gonna see this but I had to notice something about Bastions that help prove the final boss theory. When you walk into a Bastion you get an achievement called “those where the days,” implying that you had been there before. Maybe even built it
Honestly, I'd give that theory a bit more on the plausibility. And also engagement

When you started talking about how gold has mystical properties, two things immediately came to mind.
Golden Apples, and Golden Carrots.
Golden Apples are powerful, by surrounding an apple with 8 ingots of gold you create an apple that can not only buff the player but heal them at the same time. Their enchanted variants are even stronger. Now, this begs the question, how were these food made?
Before answering that, let's look at Golden Carrots. When you surround a carrot with 8 nuggets of gold, it creates the most nutritious food in the game, a Golden Carrot. The food that offers the most saturation in the game. They can also be used to brew night vision potions.
My belief is that certain foods/items in Minecraft, have dormant properties. Properties that can't be accessed without gold's special mystical properties. Carrots have dormant saturation and night vision effects that can be extracted into potions, and apples have dormant buffing and healing effects.
It's also worth noting that the crafting recipes for the apples are more expensive than the carrots. For the apples, you need ingots, while for the carrots, you need nuggets. Could it be the more gold you add to these things the stronger they become? Because even though this recipe has been removed from the game, in the earlier versions of Minecraft, when you surrounded an apple with 8 blocks of gold, it became an enchanted golden apple.
Either way, I'm curious to know your thoughts on this idea.
I'm surprised Retro hasnt found this yet or this doesnt have enough likes
@@donutlovingwerewolf8837 seriously! Like he should do a video on this theory cause it sounds very interesting
Hey , the saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” had to come from somewhere .
Well, carrots are said to help you fight Night Blindness by providing Vitamin A, so the potion part might be, as you said, awakening of dormant abilities, or maybe boosting of abilites already there to new, noticable levels.
As for the apple, I don't really know, but I assume it's related to the saying of "An apple a day keeps the doctor away".
Also, please note: Glistening Melon is also used in potions, and it's made using gold and melons, furthering your theory of gold having magical properties
They removed the recipe for enchanted golden apples?!
My theory is:
The Blaze, Ghast, Elder and regular Guardians are broken golems.
Not necessarily.
The guardians and elder guardians are what I would consider closest to golems as we know now, because they are the most mechanical in structure. They do not seem to have corrupted as much as blazes and ghosts (I will get to that later). They patrol the area and attack anything. While fish aren’t really a hostile mob, the guardians seem over protective of the monument, and again don’t seem to have corrupted as much.
Blazes are corrupted in my understanding, as while the ancient builders may have made a floating sentry built for fire and to expel fire, you’d think it acts like the guardians as attacking anything else, but it doesn’t. It also seems burned and cracked at the bottom of its rods and head, showing it has aged and possibly evolved or corrupted.
Ghasts seem totally corrupted. A floating, wandering all seeing eye as a remote control drone per se shouldn’t appear like a crying ghost. If they wanted to scare piglins, they could’ve used a zombie piglin face. (The ancient builders are either wither skeletons or zombie pigmen, piglins seem to either be a different species or a long lost descendant who totally forgot about their ancestors). And considering that a highly advanced society wouldn’t need a flying, scary ghost even though it is a remote drone flying around scaring the things it tries to protect. The fireballs may have been something the builders implemented, but the ghast only fires at us, not protective, just hostile. Their sounds and and looks seem heavily corrupted, old and evolving. So in a sense I agree, but they are not what they once were.
Edit: expanded on why they should use a zombie pigmen face to scare piglins.

The final boss theory makes sense. Just like when you go home from the end you wake up in your bed, just like the journey there being a nightmare.
Hope your guys’ theories got in!
Ik my theory would’ve never made it on here but I still liked hearing the other theories. My theory is on what happened to the builders. A catastrophic event caused by ancient portals built by the builder(s), leaving ruined portals, bastion remnants, and the homes of the builders that have now sunken to the bottom of the ocean leaving ancient ruins. I can make a film if anyone is curious in me expanding the idea/theory. Yes? No?

Can you do (assuming you can be bothered to read through more) more of these post your theories cause I didn’t notice this one and I have a FAT nether theory I’ve been tweaking since the nether update snapshots and I’d love to share
I do want to do this again
This was fun. I'd love to hear more theories.
@wolf team I have something similar, not like yours but there is definitely a coronation between soul sand and ghasts, ghasts only spawn where soul sand exists right used to exist , soul sand valley, nether wastes (soul sand beaches) and basalt deltas ( basalt is made with lava touching ice and soul soil) so a volcano went off in a soul sand valley and thus the basalt deltas were born and with ghasts roaming there birth place.
Tho people did die on the soul sand valley. Before it was a valley it was just like any nether waste, the “dinosaurs”? (Whatever they were they were a threat) the humans needed to kill them and killed all of them, the bodies decayed and made soul sand, the human skeletons were light enough they could rise again but the Dino skeletons were too heavy and stayed as a fossil,
That’s my take on the valley but my god I have an explanation for literally everything in the nether except ancient debris
@@benspooner7396 Dang it now you're really made me want to hear
@DELTAWOLVES I think that the fossils found in the soul sand valleys, and more commonly found in the desert in the overworld belong to an extinct species of monster that were domesticated in some way by the builders. They got trapped in the nether when the apocalypse started. They couldn't become zombified though, that's why we see no zombie giant monster things. Eventually after the builders went fully extinct, they moved to the soul sand valleys because it most closely resembled their natural desert home. They eventually got morphed into ghasts by wither monsters. The ones that died (in both dimensions) are the fossils seen. They become immortal, fireproof, fireball shooting slaves to the wither. They are NOT undead, as they dont burn in sunlight and the wither attacks them. They cry because they remember being pets of the builders, and because they recognize you and dont really won't to kill you.
Evidence
The "Uneasy Alliance" achievement. You get this by transporting a ghast to the overworld, then killing it.
Not being undead. The wither attacks them.
Fossils in the valley.
Anyway, just what I think the origins of ghasts are.
For the emeralds, Jens stated himself on a AskMojang video that emerald tools do not exist because they were intended by Mojang as just a currency to trade with villagers.
Yes, emeralds were added after tool ores
I think that emerald tool would destroy the balance of Minecraft because u would only need to trade to get better tools
@@ayan8136 "Balance"? Just exactly how long do you think it takes an experienced player to get to their first diamond deposit? And we can now trade with villagers to buy enchanted books and enchanted diamond tools and armor.

I just realised something.
Zombies wear Steve's clothes.
Nobody wears Alex's clothes.
Steve is one of the ancient builders, and so is Alex, but Alex somehow survived. Or maybe she's just the skeletons.
I hope I'm in here with my Spawner theory
Edit: Hey, at least I was a finalist
Can you copy/ paste your theory in the replies? I'd love to see it.
I'd love to read your theory!
@@ILIKEOTTERS I don't have it. Sorry. If I was able to view my submission, I'd copy and paste it.
But the gist of it was that monster spawners spontaneously appear from large amounts of monster essence or something like that, and I explain every single spawner in detail.
For example, the Abandoned Mineshafts. Why are they abandoned. According to my theory, cave spider spawners randomly appeared in those mines, and so the ancient miners had to retreat and leave the mines to survive. Perhaps they were originally just regular spider spawners, but became the poisonous (technically venomous) cave spiders because the ancient builders tried tampering with them.
And dungeons were when random monster spawners appeared in caves, and were encased in cobblestone to prevent them from interfering with their resource collecting, and they were exposed over time.
And the main part of my theory is that Woodland Mansions have a rare closed off room containing a Spider Spawner, surrounded by cobwebs. Perhaps Illagers, in their quest to understand life and death, learn how to harness this energy to create monster spawners.
I go into more detail with more spawners, but this is just the basic idea
@@flamingpaper7751 Nice theory. What about the chests in dungeons
@@flamingpaper7751 oh ok thanks bro
I love how creative and existential you guys are with your theories. Mine was just having the Illagers be something like Blackwolf's army from Wizards ^^;

Him: Cats might be spies!
Me, who has eleven cats: 😳
That last one started cool, then revolved into the perfect form of comedy
1. When Emeralds were first added, I believed that Emerald tools did exist once, but take so much effort to stabilize, that nobody was able to do it. It would have been a half-way house between gold and diamond, being ludicrously fast and could mine diamonds, but broke far quicker than a diamond pick would.
2. I don't think the Illagers literally use the chicken as a spy, they just believe it's the case. The statues are just a cross between a statue of a deity and a vanity project to show off how good their statue building capabilities.
3. I like this one! Although I'd assume that you could just hop through portals to all these other dimensions, but there's just no way the player can do it.
3b. So, maybe there ARE no Ancient Builders. Maybe it's just the player dying over and over and over. That's why the Zombies have the Steve clothes.
4. Why do the mobs have enchanted tools? They're the player's previous lives, as seen in part 3b.
5. Jesus CHRIST there's no way I'm fitting this one in here.
The "Minecraft's final boss" theory is supported by the end poem,
which states that when the game is over, the player wakes up from a dream and begins a new dream.
This statement actually does not conflict your or even Matpat's theory. It can easily be possible that the entire minecraft lore is happening in a dream.
Even weirder theory idea - the dream is some God's imagination. Ours.
I have a Theory: Steve was once a citizen at Endercon when the Wither storm attacked, and he kept on running until he either got amnesia or he just kept running. But since the setting of the wither storm attack took place at Night, and Minecraft when you spawn in is the day. That means Minecraft is when Steve wakes up the next day either from amnesia or he just slept. So if Steve got amnesia then he couldn’t remember where he came from, Or either he can’t go back to his home town because of the wither storm, So then begins him Chopping down a Tree so then he can make himself a new home.
So that it's public for all the read, here's a cleaned up version of my Theory!
"Evolution of the Ancients":
One of the most confusing things to explain in the Minecraft Lore, is the how the Players spawn (yes this is assuming multiplayer is cannon and not simply just for gameplay). Based on the Phantom video, what if the players are decendants of the Ancient Builders, or Ancients, and when the undead sickness outbreak occured, the few that were left on the run on there own, slowly evolved over centuries to the modern day (world generation). Because of a forced nomadic and lonesome lifestyle, they became smarter/curious, more self sufficient, and grew an amunnity to zombification, which then leads to us as players as we are.
Thanks for reading my bullshit! ^-^
i love that even if you dont agree with one of the theories you dont shit-talk it, you say its creative and interesting and encourage people to make more theories. that is noticed and appreciated!
The "Minecraft's true final boss" theory reminds me a TON of this one doctor who episode where the main character spends 4 billion years repeatedly waking up, discovering the true meaning of his where-abouts, dyeing & then waking up.
not suprised that my entry was not on here due to me not adding enough details and proof to it.
but if any of yall wanna read it here it is:
i like to think it's some kind of curse.
you see before villagers were made there were originally pigmen that were going to be villagers but notch decided to scrap them and of course made the villagers, and what i think what happened lore wise was that the villagers decided to go to war with the pigmen and ultimately resulted in the victory with the villagers,the villagers would then employ the help of the witches to create the zombie plague and use that plague to infect the pigmen and and keep them stupid so they wouldn't gather up and attack. then down the road they would betray the villagers and start using the plague to make zombies to use against the villagers. and i also have a explanation for the pigmen turning back into there normal but primitive selves, so what i think is the most likely possibility is that some managed to escape being turned into a zombie and would go into the nether bringing supplies with them, now i didn't find any fermented spiders eyes in bastion loot tables BUT they do have golden apples so they might have found some other way to cure the plague without weakness potions, anyways they cure some of the pigmen and the results are piglins which are dumber versions of your normal everyday pigman and so large buildings called bastiosn are created to protected and make more of the cure but after a decade or more or less the pigmen die and all that are left is the piglins. now onto the last part on why the piglins cannot leave the nether, well my idea is that the witches put some kind of curse so whenever a piglin/pigmen came back to the overworld they would turn into a zombie pigman. now if there is any holes in my theory feel free to comment and if you want to add onto it feel free to comment aswell.
shi
@@couchcrew8658 shi?
Kinda true to me I kinda Heard about This
@@roheenadurrani442 there are flaws in my theory but it would make sense on how the og pigmen vanished lore wise.
So the plague would be coated around the whole minecraft world and that's why piglins turn into zombie piglins when they enter the overworld
I love how you never ever ignore your fans. You're epic!
Well,
one thing is pretty objective and obvious: Mojang should hurry up
and put more Dimensions (this time with Lore) into the Game.
Adding more Dimensions was since Always the logical next move.
As an add-on to the enchanting theory:
When the player translates the foreign text, it says 'Unbreaking...?'
It seems as though the player is translating the language, but he/she hasn't mastered it, but can make out the most important features of the spells. This could also go hand in hand with the theory that an allmighty being makes you forget all knowledge when it strikes you down, so you might forget how to speak or read the ancient language who created/discovered the spells.
I think the third one is true. Why else would the game say that you died when you just started a world?
Reincarnatiom?
Literally no proof whatsoever
I thought it was worth thinking about, too. I mean, if it's got no meaning whatsoever, it's a bit random. I'm not sure about the 'god of knowledge' as a definite boss.
Altough I have no prove, I thought maybe player would be the only acient builder to have survived. The only one to have escaped eternal death, and the only one that's been able to create or that somehow fell into this infinite circle of life and death, always respawning after being killed.
I don't know how the player would have survived, but there are really advanced techniques in Minecraft like in the totem of undying, so some sort of crazy magic to make reincarnation possible wouldn't be too far off.
What do you think?
"Those were the day" implies you've been there before
I also think that as when you jump in the end portal it says "The end?" implying that it may truly not be the end
Just so you know when your a big time you tuber and little old me is left behind in these comments as a no one. I was here supporting you and I love your content. Keep it up. I see a bright path for you.
So, as retro’s suggestion, this is my theory.
What’s with mushroom islands?
First, the trees. They’re not trees. Just, no. They are simply big mushrooms. There are a few mushrooms that look like the brown mushroom “tree”. It’s actually kind of trippy.
But now, the mooshrooms and islands, I’ve seen theories of it being a fungal infection, but in my opinion, that doesn’t work, I think it’s magic. And who did it?
The piglins.
The theory that the piglin’s origin in the overworld is a good theory, and for now, let’s say it’s true.
Then we have a piglin civilisation in the overworld, with hoglins as their cavalry (there is no use for them in the nether, so that’s why they eat them)
Now, especially if you aren’t particularly... liked by the other inhabitants, you’d want a few islands, full of the stuff your cavalry likes best, mushrooms!
Yes, the piglins created the mushroom islands, and the mooshrooms, to feed the hoglins.
And now, in their exile, the islands are left, the cows have escaped their pen, and roam these man made islands.
Why they used cows? Well, they do produce milk, and they’re the biggest, we don’t really know why they used ONLY cows, that’s been lost to time.
That’s my theory! And I also posted this on the RetroGamingNow discord as the name “proto-human caveoof” or the handle of “bargain bin humanoid#8044”
Hope you all thought it was good!
But cluckshrooms?
@DropkicktheDecepticon Agreed. How can come from the overworld if it kills them to go back?
I was a finalist, darn so close. Here’s my theory if you’re interested :)
There are three types of magic in Minecraft, souls, ender, and a third unknown variant (likely something to do with the skulk and deep dark). These three types of magic each relate to different dimensions. Souls with the nether, ender with the end, and the unknown variant with the overworld.
You already know all about souls so I won't go too much into them (blue in color, used by evokers, responsible for the wither etc.) All I want to add regarding this form of magic is that I believe it is directly tied to the nether, which is kind of obvious. Soul sand is found in the nether, the withering effect (which originates in the nether via wither skeletons) is the process of something living being converted into a soul, and the nether is based off of hell which has always been a sort of underworld/afterlife relating to souls.
With that out of the way, let's move on to the new stuff. Starting with ender, it is the purple glow we see from nether portals, respawn anchors, and enchantments. It is likely some sort of cosmic energy that originates from the end. Where's the evidence for this? Well, with every mob that has been given the moniker of ender (the enderman, endermite, and ender dragon) the purple magic of ender relates to them in some form or another. Purple particle effects are given off by the ender dragon when unleashing its dragon breath, the enderman when it teleports, and the endermite when it spawns. This seems to suggest that the mobs home to the end are somehow over-infused with ender. But why? I believe it is because the end is swirling with it. This dimension is a mostly dark purple void. So what if said void is actually some sort of extradimensional source of cosmic energy, aka ender. As such, whenever the player uses magic, what they are actually doing is summoning ender from the end dimension. But how is the player capable of doing this? Well, they are using souls. As discussed in the illager and wither deep dives, souls can be converted into "soul energy" as long as you understand enough about them. Since the player doesn't know all that much, at least when compared to the evoker, all they can do with souls is summon ender from the end dimension (instead of you know, using it to summon vexes and the like). They do this by obtaining soul energy via experience from killing mobs and using it as a sort of offering/sacrifice. There is a caveat though, they must have obsidian because it is the only block strong enough to contain ender. We can see evidence for this with crying obsidian in ruined portals. They appear to have absorbed too much ender and "short circuited" as a result, thereby causing the ruined portals to deactivate. We can also see evidence for this with the obsidian pillars that hold the end crystals to heal the ender dragon, the people who built those pillars (probably the endermen) must have known that obsidian was the best block to harness ender. As such, it's pretty safe to say that obsidian serves the function I described it to. When the player takes advantage of it and harnesses ender through it, they can then use that energy in whatever way they please. Like enchanting tools and weapons to be faster, more durable, or to have magical properties. Nether portals also fit into this, although they are less complicated. Just the correct structure of obsidian along with some heat is enough to harness the ender necessary for the portal to activate. Which implies that obsidian is not only used to harness ender because it is durable, but also because it has some sort of innate connection to it (which is supported by its purplish texture).
Moving on to the unknown variant of magic, this is a tricky one. It has something to do with the green texture found in ender pearls, eyes of ender, end portal frames, and the end portal itself. This green texture is very strange. It appears to have a deep connection to the end, but we have no hint as to how. Which is odd considering that as we discussed prior, the end appears to be related to the purple magic of ender, not this green texture. As such, my theory is that this green texture is in actuality connected to the skulk, not the end. The "end items" that have this green texture are not natural. They are similar to how the player uses an enchanting table by mixing the magic of ender with the magic of souls. In this case though, it is a mix between the magic of ender and the magic of skulk. But how could these two things ever mix? Well, as discussed in the endermen deep dive, the endermen are probably the ones who built the strongholds. Said strongholds are buried deep underground. And what else do we know is buried deep underground? The deep dark biome, home to the skulk. With that in mind, perhaps the endermen explored the deep dark biome and discovered the skulk. Realizing its potential they used some of their own magical ender essence within themselves and combined that with the skulk in an effort to create a way back home (which was eventually successful as seen with the eyes of ender and end portal frames). Although take this with a grain of salt, we still know very little about the skulk and mojang could have other plans. In any case that's my theory.
I can’t even imagine being able to come up with such an elaborate theory that ACTUALLY sounds plausible
Wow
Dude my favourite part about your theory is the ender one, it really makes so much sence!
And i love the idea of obsidian between all of this, especially because it ties really well with why a portal has to be at least 3 blocks tall in order to function, and thats because they are related to enderman and maybe they where the ones that created them in the first place, and used fire to release the ender energy concentrated in the obsidian that was so powerful that it granted you the hability to travel to another dimension
@@G.P.M_7 Didn’t even consider the three block tall requirement for the portals, great addition. Man I might really be on to something XD
I have the idea for the next deep dive: The Power of Gold.
Gold can make an powerful golden apple that could turn you into a god for a short amount of time, gold can make an totem that could bring back life, gold is powerful, beside it's durability.
I was so happy to see my name on the list, even if it wasn't one of the tops. I'm so glad to know you read my theory, and I hope at least it gave you some new ideas for videos in the future. This was really an amazing thing you did, and I hope you do this again sometime. BTW I was SaphTheKnight, and I've gotten so many of my friends into your channel!
Theory: the final one (unsettling discovery) could link to the end scene. If in a simulation, then the two entities’ words would make sense. They are real people, outside of the simulation, trying to get you to go back in by telling you a story.
However, when they start to ask you to awake, it could be a transmission from someone else, trying to save you. I believe this because of how abruptly the ‘blue entity’ (I think, it may be the yellow one, even if those are the colours, I can’t remember) says ‘ please wake up’ mid-sentence. It ends as they are cut off the line, and you start once again.
Dude your vids are so well made
Thanks, they take a lot of work but it’s worth it
Imagine being mojang and create a cubic game just to get exaggerated subliminal theories from your fans. I love this community

This is my theory
The Crying Obsidian Soul Theory
Crying obsidian is a block that resembles normal obsidian but is slightly easier to mine, emit a light level of 10, cries purple tears, cannot make nether portals, and can be crafted to make respawn anchors. But there are only 3 ways to find crying obsidian which is bartering with piglin, piglin bastion chests, and ruined portals. But my theory was created because why would crying obsidian be found in ruined portals if it cannot make portals? My theory is that obsidian has a soul. Yup, Obsidian has a soul, here is my reasoning. Obsidian cannot be made in the nether as you need water so all the obsidian found in the nether came from the overworld, same for the end, speaking of the end, the end had towers of obsidian and a row of 2 in end ships, but when a block of obsidian is lonely, it cries, and never stops crying, its depressed as it has no company, it also does not know other obsidian have souls as they are blocks and cannot move, in ruined portals, they are abandoned and hopeless, in bastion remnant chests they are in chests forever until a piglin or player picks them up. But obsidian with company and mobs near it are happy and stay as obsidian, like obsidian in the end, 100s of enderman and a dragon nearby is cool, and the row of obsidian have a shulker nearby to talk to. Don't think they have souls still? Guess what? Respawn anchors? Normal obsidian cannot make anchors but crying obsidian can, with glowstone dust, it can grab ahold of a soul and use it for the player to respawn, granted the bed does not have a soul but you don't need to refill a bed with glowstone dust do you? Note: Thank you for hearing this theory
My theory is that obsidian is actually a battery that stores enchantment energy. Obsidian can make enchantment tables, which you can use to convert the life force of mobs into enchantment energy. Beacons are also crafted with obsidian, which can be used to gain potion effects. An interesting detail about potions is that they have an enchantment glint, suggesting that they use similar magic to a beacon. End crystals also have an enchantment glint, and they could only be placed on obsidian (and bedrock), further establishing obsidian's unique enchanting properties.
I think crying obsidian is the result of obsidian being "overcharged", but how did it get to that state? There are ruined portals all over the Overworld and Nether, and they appear to have corrupted their surroundings with netherrack, magma, and lava. Some natural event must have caused the portals to break, releasing so much energy that it even broke down the very properties of the surrounding obsidian blocks. The liquid particles dripped from crying obsidian actually glow in the dark and have the same color as nether portals, suggesting that when the ruined portals broke down, they overcharged the obsidian with enchantment energy.
That wasn't the theory I shared in the 100K Subscriber Special (which was actually about the mysterious Warden), but crying obsidian is pretty interesting nonetheless.
@@gaspoweredpick That is a very intreasting detail, "Charged" kinda makes more sense than having a "soul", thx for your replie.
@@netheriteingots5896 No problem. I love theorizing about Minecraft!
@@gaspoweredpick i mean that's pretty plausible, in one of the videos in retrogamingnow's channel it mentions that heat is what allows portals to be made and obsidian is made of lava which is hot
Bad Omen Revisited
What if the bad omen effect doesn’t have anything to do with cats or chickens? Knights or important people used to have scribes or followers. If a Pillager captain was an important position, what if they had a secret follower too? My idea is that this illager would hide from most conflicts, and just watch from afar what happens to the captain. However, when the captain dies, this Secret Illager will be furious. The bad omen signals the secret illagers rage, as he will follow the player, waiting for the perfect opportunity. He can’t be seen or killed, but his presence is felt. When the player reaches a village, the place the secret illager will assume to be their home, it’ll attack. It blows a horn, signaling to its fellow illagers a fresh new location to raid. The only thing on the players mind when they hear that horn, however, is the fact that a boss bar with the word “Raid” is slowly filling up.
The bad omen effect doesn’t cause a deadly poison like most debuffs. Rather, it’s the players fear that somewhere, something evil is watching them, and waiting for the chance to strike...
U are underrated
I don't have one full concrete lore, but I have several lore bits that I have:
PRISM-marine
this could mean that prismarine has light refracting properties
Enderpearl colors when brightened have similar colors to prismarine
Eyes of ender are made with blaze powder(basicly just fire)
both obsidian and end portals are blast proof
obsidian frame + fire = nether portal
end portal frame + Ender Eye(made with blaze powder) = end portal
this could mean that end portal frames are made with obsidian
endermen particles and dragonbreath have similar colors to nether portals
warped forest contains more enderman than any other nether biome
warped fungus repels hoglins
soulfire is a similar color to warped wart
end crystals are made with ghast tears and ender eyes
ghast tears are used to make regen potions
end crystals heal the dragon
elytra is based off of the elytron beetles have
the only end based bug in the game is the endermite
this could mean there could have been giant beetles that dropped the elytra
This is probably going to get bigger
The are some pretty big holes on the first theory but this one's probably the biggest; it's completely possible that emeralds are just too brittle as a material while diamonds are just not the same as the real counter part, diamond very obviously don't show any transparency in their texture at all, it's completely opaque and quite metallic actually as seen in their block form. As for them being too scarce to be a currency; 1.17 will change that as they are one of the most common ore in mountain biomes which are really big.
And another thing about combining netherite, emerald ad gold; I do think people misunderstands that netherite by itself aren't actually as strong as people think, netherite tools are durable because of the diamond tool that the netherite is coating, note that upgrading a diamond tool to netherite only adds 200+ durability which is not much compared too diamonds which are 1000+, now I do think netherite by themselves are at least definitely stronger than iron but definitely not stonger than diamonds. (and the thing about netherite blocks being stronger than diamond blocks; that's most probably just old design remnants)
The thing about the true final boss used something that is basically a bug and a mechanic that is far from being part of the world.
The thing about the enchantments; one requirement there isn't actually accurate as Evokers don't actually make any incantations when summoning fangs or vexes, they on really say incantations when changing a sheep's color.
The last parts are a bit too meta to being plausible, especially when all of those things that is supporting those theory are done solely either as a game mechanic or because of game limitations, though I do know what you did there.
Overall; this is a pretty fun an engaging video to watch, makes me think something.
Wait... the Mobestiary mentioned the Spy Chicken!? That’s awesome!
To those who don’t know, the Spy Chicken is a joke from the UA-camr Paulsoarsjr, one of the first to make Minecraft Tutorials. The joke started with his episode on the Halloween Update that introduced the Nether, where he started by interrogating a chicken with a Flint and Steel and accusing it of being a spy.
Since that episode he always makes jokes about how the Chickens are reporting his every move to the monsters
Here's a funny little theory based on that last one. On the other side of the world border there appears to be more world. Every minecraft world ever generated is inside of its own world border, and each of these worlds are sitting directly next to each other
I love the way this channels interacts with his community, keep up the good work!
I had no idea this existed, so...
My theory: So, pillagers went to make Builders, right? Well, they succeeded, and created you. In an aging experiment, they left you in outdoors, where you stayed in a hibernation-like state until you reached full growth. Then, you started your journey, eventually becoming influenced against your creators.
My theory for why the players death count is one when the world is created is that perhaps you were an ancient builder that was turned into a zombie, technically becoming dead, however something causes you to be cured of the zombie virus. Perhaps the reason you dont remember the knowledge of your own people is because the zombification effect degrades the mind, after all when you cure a villager of its sickness its trades are cheaper, perhaps rather than it thanking you, it has forgotten what the prices were and made them cheaper by mistake.
Sir, can you make a theory about Piglins how they got to the Nether? I would love that
The "Final Boss" theory gave me goosebumps. Especially when you consider the content of the End Poem, this really connects this game witth how we live our real lives. Kinda creepy.
yeah for some reason
If you look at the top of an emerald Bloock it's very similar to ancient debris
The anvils in the pillager mansions are used for enchanting with books harvested from the villages
Imagine getting hearted

This is just crazy I never knew that Minecraft could be so deep and mysterious
in the fifth theory it talks about how things dont move or work when the player is to far away, the player is wanda maximoff
Congratulation my dude. I am really happy for you and I cant wait to see the camunatie grow even biggar!!
Congratulations on 100k subs
Not gonna lie, the last 'unsettling truth' theory kinda reminds me of wamda-vison. Is the world based around the player, There's a boundary, unexplainable things happen. So my theory is Minecraft=WandaVision.
But, Think About It. The Theory Is Just Saying: Minecraft = Videogame.
100% True.
@@AssistantCoreAQI But when u r dedicated to the game, it isn't even a game anymore. It's a whole new universe which u get tasks to do , challenges to be overcomed etc
Like only when u r dedicated to the game, not thinking about what's happening outside the game, it'll not be like a game
WOW congrats on the 100k! I knew you could do it! =D
Congrats man, i love seeing how your channel grow
but in the end credits of mc, the texts refer to mc as some sort of sleep or simulation, so....
On the third theory, I noticed that it’s not just the time since last death that was present, but also the time since last rest. The time was the same. This might be a stretch but maybe they’re connected. For example, maybe the player died in their sleep and the players journey after “spawning” is really just some near-death hallucination, or a transition to the afterlife. As I said, it’s a stretch, but it would explain why it’s not just time since last death being set to when you first load the world.
Theory: creepers and ghasts are war golems made by illagers or a previous similar group since creepers are unable to even get food on their own and ghasts drop the artificial gunpowder. They attack the player so they were likely hostile to builders, but they don't attack the villager species.
Congrats on 100k m8. You really deserve it. :D
Dude, you need to check out Minecraft Dungeons I swear. Please do this in a video and explore minecraft dungeons in a lore video. You said you like incantations and enchanting runes? There was just an update which added ancient mobs that can be summoned by offering a select group of weapons with their own runes.
Huh. Dungeons is in the same universe, right? This could open up a whole new world of theories to explore
@@georgesracingcar7701 Of course it does, soul force, the magic runes I just mentioned, massive wind temples, ancient mobs, about 20 new bosses, uncraftable armor, new illager types, the orb of dominance, and hundreds of references to ancient societies and peoples who traveled the world.
"What if the Minecraft world is a simulation?"
I'm pretty sure it is...
I have 2!
How did Shulkers come to exist? Maybe the ancient players or Endermen discovered magic and possessed Purpur blocks, creating Shulkers, but they eventually turned against the players, creating the hostile version. Maybe the End wasn't immune to the infection after all...
How much did the ancient builders really know about the properties of Redstone? Redstone is pretty common in the lower depths of the Overworld, so they probably didn't mine too much of it. The only naturally generating structure with Redstone is the jungle temple, which contains only rudimentary devices. So are more complicated items like daylight sensors and observers items from Minecraft's ancient past, or are they inventions of the Player themselves?
Man, I love your videos I hope 100k is just the start
Huge problem with the basis of the first theory: diamond dust is actually in a LOT of irl tools, and it makes them better! True it’s still a stretch to make them completely out of diamonds in MC, but it’s not a leap. Diamond tools make a lot of sense when you thing about it. I mean a lot of tools irl aren’t made directly of iron, steel is more common.
I almost mentioned that, but tbh this is a completely different scenario making a pickaxe out of just diamonds. It’s not some industrial-grade tool
Pfft! The comment in the Mobestiary about chickens being spies, is just a reference to paulsoaresjr!
I like your contents very much
Tied for around a week and never got bored rewatching the iceberg videos , they're very well made
Idk why but this video is still giving me chills its been 5 months
Keep these coming please
I hope someone starts a Minecraft Roleplay series about the lore of minecraft and the journey of the player.
I really love the way, how you thematize these topics and create a scary/unsettling yet interesting atmosphere. Great work once more c:
I always thought the player was a builder who came back to life somehow (like a zombie villager, but likely in a different way) and the recipe book being them regaining their memory's is a great addition to that!

And just want You to continue doing as well as You are right now :)
you seriously need to do a lore video about the end credits
Congrats Man u Deserved it! Also I think that there was a male Ender dragon in the End but the Builders killed it which made the current Ender dragon to kill the builders!
