    Imagine a creepypasta where your wolf needs to be domasticated, so you give a bone to the ally because you fell one will not be enough for domesticating the wolf, and than the ally starts to rip you to shreds, piece by piece, to get more bones, this could be weaponized....

      While the large heads are true, Baby Villagers have their head proportioned to their body, which is strange for Zombie Baby Villagers have large heads but not Regular Baby Villagers.
      Allot of the Animations have the baby villagers with large heads even the new game has the large heads but in game their heads are normal size with the rest of the body.

    personal thought: the allays have incomplete memories - they want the items, but they don’t know why. they dance to the music that they know, but they can’t remember from where. they watch you with both childlike joy and profound sadness, as though they recognise you but don’t know how. but they help you all the same, because it’s all they know.

The trauma of the accident which leaves you alone in the middle of nowhere may have happened in a cave or in the dark, which Steve would've forgotten exactly what, but would still be tense or afraid underground, where its dark, which manifests itself as sounds and noises. This could explain the dark tan Steve has, and the stubble.

    Adding another layer on to this theory, perhaps the allay are the result of the ancient builders attempting to bring the spirits of their children back from the dead. This would not only explain why they are smaller than you, but also their playful nature. (dancing, laughing, chasing after you, etc.) This could also mean when you give an allay an item, they see that action as you accepting them into your family. You are affectively a parental figure.

  • @mystery3928

    PERSONAL THEORY : i think the allay are actually the children of the ancient builders. I think they help you because you look like their family. Considering the builders couldnt alway be advanced they could have started out with helping the dying children. Because they look like steve but smaller more like baby zombies.
    Edit: hello! So i just looked it up and found the "happy birthday achievement" which damn the feelings but i think thats the reason they like note blocks it reminds them of when they were alive and when they were with the family every birthday and listening to the music disc and noteblocks.

    Mini theory: Why is soul soil called soul SOIL specifically? Well since it is called soil, it implies it’s meant to grow things, but soul soil CANNOT be used to grow nether wart. So what does it grow? Souls. In a manner of speaking. Soul soil is just soul sand that hasn’t had souls infused into it yet, and soul sand is just soul soil that served its purpose; to harbor the souls of the dead. This would be why the sounds of soul soil being placed don’t include ghostly sounds like placing soul sand does, and why soul soil doesn’t slow down the player when walked on like soul sand does. I don’t know if I’m the only one to think of this but it fits PERFECTLY as far as I can tell.

    Going back to some of ur older theories, I think I remember that there was a theory about the warped forest being somewhat man made. It isn’t like any other part of the nether and what solidified that one for me was these two things: endermen (ancient builders) spawn there, like they’re trying to go back to what they had done before, or trying to return to what they had been. The other thing is the “trees” there. The “leaves” of the crimson forests “trees” are made of nether wart blocks, while in the warped forests, it is instead warped wart blocks (if I remember the name correctly) which implies, to me at least, that the warped forests where at one point crimson forests that the ancient builders warped to be more friendly to them, hence the lack of piglins and hoglins.

      I've always had this theory about the warped forests and the endermen: i think the warped forests are corrupted crimson forests (corrupted by the endermen). They frequently spawn there, but no other mob does. The fog is purple and the forest is blue (both colors very uncommon in the Nether, they don't 'fit in'). Also, the hoglins (endemic specie from the Nether) are afraid of the blue mushrooms. I think some of the endermen from the End ended up in the Nether and are trying to settle there, and by doing so they are altering the natural environment (they are sort of an invasive specie). Sorry if there's grammar or spelling mistakes, english is not my first language 😅

      It could have been a refuge created by the ancient builders. Hoglins run away from warped fungus because they were conditioned through the years to realize that they mean the builders are there and they would attack them. The blue of the trees and the nylium was probably made to make it feel more like home and the purple fog is just a byproduct of the blue mixing with the natural red. As for the endermen they naturally migrated toward them when they were able to warp between dimensions because they meant safety and knew they wouldn't be attacked.

    7:50 When I hear "Nether" in the context of minecraft lore and souls I immediately think _Soul Magic._ The "Soul Entity" or "Soul Wizard" is proof that you can use the souls of soul sand to make allied spirit mobs with soul sand; in Minecraft Dungeons you can use a modofied Soul Lantern to summon one of these Soul Entities, complete with odd robes and a red tie at the waist. Perhaps the Allay was once from there as an escaped soul from the sand, which helps you once it gets to the overworld.

    Another detail to take notice of, the Allay death sound effect sounds eerily similar to the "Screech" and "Slam" sound effects, maybe those noises are echoes of the souls trapped in the caves, or maybe the allays are aware of the player's existence, and are calling out for help, the "Yearn" sound effect also sounds similar to that of the sound effect "Ascension" and "Call" again a sign that perhaps the Allay are in a search for the player, this makes a lot of sense especially since all allays in the world are in captivity, and are looking for a way out. The sound effects "Tremor" and "Roar" also sound like the warden.

Or maybe the Endermen recognize the Allay through their now-twisted and corrupt worldview, like a sense of clarity, so-to-speak. What if you could look at the Endermen when an Allay is present and they won't attack, or there's a special little animation that occurs when they get close. Mojang is keeping it all so discreet 😭

It keeps surprising me to see everyone saying the max is 3. That might be more common, but it’s not the max :)

    something i'd like to add that wasn't mentioned in here is the fact that the sculk blocks, particularly sculk sensors, reuse some sound clips from vexes, further connecting them back to souls. also, a few of the sounds for walking on soul sand with the soul speed enchantment are literally slowed down versions of sound clips from vexes. AND, by extension, the sounds used for sculk shriekers are stretched out versions of those same audio clips. i think that alone goes to show that sound design really does play a HUGE part in the lore of the game.

    what if the allays are spirits of the dead child of the ancient builders. The allay looks very similar to steve but notice the size of it more like a baby, maybe it was crushed by the warden as we can see the torso is kinda ruptured, the voice of the allay is also childish it would probably make sense as the allay dance to the music, they are helping out steve like small kids do. some who coudn't survive the warden got crushed under his feet and became a spirit.

    Wait so lemme get this straight :
    Long ago there were Acient Builders right? Then they started building structures and eventually moved to the nether. As building more structures in the nether they bring pigs which evolve or become Piglins and Hoglins and building the Wither but forces them to go back to the overworld. They mine underground were they build a city and a stronghold hopefully protecting from the Wither. Then the Warden somehow comes and defeats the Wither. The Acient Builders worship it until the Warden(s) attack them.
    Forcing the Builders to make an end portal only discovering there is no way out. The Ancient Builders kill the dragons and make structures in the end realizing there is one Ender Dragon left they try to protect it by building cages around the end crystals. With limited rations they survive on chorus fruits eventually mutating them into Endermen .
    And that's were you join the game....
    This is my take on Minecraft's lore

    One question I've had is where you, the player, came from. If all the ancient builders either died or were trapped in the End, how did the player, presumably a descendant of the ancient builders, come about? We seem to just be kinda dropped into the world, so maybe ancient builders are "born" by simply appearing? There must be some reason why the player appears so long after their kind disappears.

      Personally I believe the player is a differnt creature entirely from the ancient builders as we can canonically respawn. Like the end poem says “You are the universe”
      In fact, I believe we are the exact reason the illagers are messing with life and death, they wanna make a respawning soldier like us.

Even most adventure maps still have you build/place things in some capacity, and any PvPer worth their salt knows that blocks (and stuff like water) are the most powerful tools you have.

      Villagers are also technically decendents of ancient builders. So I think Steve is just part of a sub species that is the closest related genetically to the ancient builders while villagers and Endermen evolved far more drastically to fit their own biomes. Could also be that Steve is a resurrected ancient builer via some long lost/forgotten ritual/experiment (which would explain the respawn mechanic).
