    Now that I have started to dive into the deep lore of Minecraft, I think I will be able to map out the ENTIRE in-world history of the game. We've talked about the corrupted music discs and the origin of the Enderme. Today I want to solve the mystery of what started EVERYTHING. What created Minecraft? Well there is this thing called the Wither...

      It’s actually really complicated cuz the red stone is too fragile. The bunker has to be incredibly secure and also has to be sustainable. How should you build it, how do you build it? That may no be a problem but they didn’t know this and they didn’t prepare in advance. Heck, WHY does it even work!? ANSWER THAT MATPAT.

      More disturbing theory: Ender pearls are eggs. Specifically the evolution of the giant silverfish eggs. That's why they have the chance to spawn an endermite: you threw a fertilized egg. Same way you can with chickens.

    Theory: Ancient builders eat the chorus fruit when they stuck at end and it teleports them like ender pearls. Ender pearls and chorus fruit have small chance to spawn endermite. So there is chance endermites are parasites in some type of "pocket dimension". So if ancient builders eat the chorus fruit they during teleportation go through the pocket dimension and took endermites with them too. Endermites possibly if they are parasites stay in their brain and start parasiting. That means they turned ancient builders into endermen. This explains why they attacks at endermites because somewere deep in endermen is still ancient builder souls they haven't full control over their bodies. It too explains why they are attacking ender dragon. And if endermites took control over ancient builders body and "transformed" them into endermen, endermen are attacking at you, player because you are only what's left after ancient builders and endermites have control over their body and want another host.
    BUT IT'S JUST A THEORY !

    Theory: The reason the Wither was summoned instead of the deceased guards is because the souls being forced into the body of the Wither Skeletons didn’t belong to that body. Instead of putting the Builder back together before they died, several different Builders were being forced into the same body resulting in the Wither, a combo of them.

  • @Sophia-tj8oh
    @Sophia-tj8oh 2 роки тому +29

    Okay here's what I'm thinking: A member of the ancient civilization after being forced to attack and kill their undead former friends (in wither skeleton form), gain the wither skeleton's head. They try to use the dropped head as a personal touch to revive them. Why? We know from zombie villagers that certain mobs that have become undead can be "cured", so it makes sense that they'd keep the skull around and try to bring the creature back to life, in hopes that they could preform a similar ritual process to "cure" the wither skeleton and bring back their friend.
    In order to bring back the undead mob they'd slain, they form the wither body. It's kinda like building an iron golem, the three blocks across, one on bottom, and a head on top to "bring it life". It makes sense that they'd try to revive their dead friend "bring them to life" with the same method.
    I'm guessing the reason they eventually put three heads on the creature, is because the soulsand texture has three obvious faces. (There's 6x3 faces in total across each side of the block, but we could say there's three main souls because the main faces are the same for each side and it's always the same three faces)
    I think one head can't bring it to life, because the three main souls fight for control and they cancel each other out in a way. It doesn't seem like there's a way to only take one soul from the soulsand. But soulsand is a vital piece to bringing the creature back to life, so you have to find another way to make it work. Three heads, for three souls. [EDIT: The warden also has multiple souls it seems, but in that instance it seems different from trying to raise a single previously living player-like being, and seems more like a iron golem situation in which it's living but it's not fully player-like and never has been or will be, it's simply a wild creature made up of certain blocks (sculk in this case) and possessed in some sense, most likely by the rogue souls residing within who lost their lives within the deep dark and never got out. While I think the main three player-like souls require specific heads/a vessel to regain control of a body like they previously inhabited, perhaps that's why they struggle against the rest of the souls to get to the surface of the block. They show their strength beyond the others by directly touching the skulls when you place them.] What would make them stronger? Perhaps it's how recently they were killed? Perhaps how strong willed the player-like being it used to be was, or based on experience level?

    I think maybe the reason it becomes violent and destructive once given all three heads, is because it's still living it's misery.
    1. It picks up where it leaves off, you give the wither skeleton you killed it's life back, not it's humanity. You haven't cured it, you've just brought it back. It goes back to it's basic wither skeleton instincts of attacking, specifically attacking players. Probably extra aggressive towards you since you specifically killed it before.
    2. Just because there's three main faces, (this is where 6x3 faces on each block comes in) doesn't mean that's the extent of the souls, especially with the multiple soulsand blocks. The souls from the soulsand don't have a head, or any senses like sight or anything like the main three. So there's tons of souls packed in within the wither, all fighting, all still suffering, all still thinking they're in the fiery and aggressive biome they come from. And lashing out accordingly. I think that's the force behind their newfound destructive powers: Souls in anguish, who've been part of the nether biome, an aggressive biome (known for creatures that fly and use fire attacks), now all constricted into a single bare body. Power bursting at the seams. That would help explain the large amount of health, despite it being a creature that's not super big (such as the ender dragon), and the health amount being far beyond the amount of three wither skeletons put together.
    You might be wondering, so where does the wither skeleton head projectile attack come in?
    I've got no idea, perhaps it's bone or skulls that "sunk into the sand" (skulls dropped by killed wither skeleton, that weren't picked up) as opposed to skulls being intentionally placed by the player. Skulls that the wither carries and chucks at the player, a grim ironic attack that shows (unknowingly/unintended probably) contempt for killings of other wither skeletons the player has committed or the ancient inhabitants who look alot like the player committed within the nether that where almost wasteful in the sense that the drop loot wasn't picked up (whether intentionally, or due to quick escapes from a greater danger, etc.) and left to sink into the tormented soul filled sands of the nether. Sunken, useless and never to see the light of day till now. The skull life piece, the last chance of redemption for the wither skeleton it was dropped by, gone.
    The wither is more alive when compared to a regular wither skeleton, their faces are closer to the players and their eyes and mouths are bright and filled with light as opposed to wither skeletons, because they are so overfilled with souls and life forces. Souls and life forces that are in essence, after years and years of adapting to the nether, part of the nether itself which is why it drops the Nether Star. (A friend explained they believed the nether star to be a thank you to the player for releasing their souls, a heavenly item that starkly contrasted against the hellish nature of the nether, and it's origins)
    Or of course this could all be wrong, but it's fun trying to piece together logic behind creatures so deeply ingrained in the in game lore like MatPat was showing!

    MATPAT! Here's a crazy theory for ya on the origins of skeletons. Your zombie disease video makes sense, but doesn't explain the skeletons. No disease is going to keep a pile of bones floating around. You'd need magic to do that. Here's a quote from the Mobestiary, " Some have proposed that skeletons are ancient adventurers raised from death by an evil sorcerer." In the game Minecraft Dungeons there is a group of ancient necromancers who live in a desert temple. They have blue glowing eyes (the color of souls) and when they summon skeletons, you can see small blue souls float away from the summoning area. They even shoot soul fire blasts! But why are they themselves undead? Maybe because when they (or some other humans) summoned the wither, they noticed that it doesn't attack undead things, and they turned themselves undead to protect themselves. I hope you read this!

So they probably either summoned in a lot of them, or they summoned in some sort of very powerful wither.

    The ancient builders could have just trapped the Wither in The End but I guess it's not easy to think rationally when there is an undead monstrosity causing damage everywhere.

    Okay i know I'm so late to this and I'm not sure if it means anything or if anyone else beat me to it. But in the midst of decorating my house and placing paintings I found something interesting. I noticed how some of the paintings had mimicked pictures of notorious paintings and statues, almost like fine art basically. But something that stuck out to me was that one of the other bigger painting options was of the build of the wither. It could be another hint that it was a "great creation" made by the ancient builders. And to note, its not the wither itself. It shows how you make a wither emphasizing that it was one of their creations that they made.

    one thing important to note: they might’ve used the wither’s creation pattern (2 block high soulsand, 3 across) because it was also the way of creating iron golems. they might’ve put a head on and thought the body needed more bone mass to be completed and accidentally summoned the wither.

    i have an idea
    so ender mites are *ender* *mites* and mites are * uncrumples notes *
    "Mites are small arachnids. Mites are not a defined taxon, but the name is used for members of several groups in the subclass acari of the class Arachnida. Most mites are tiny, less than 1 mm in length, and have a simple, unsegmented body plan. Their small size makes them easily overlooked; some species live in water, many live in soil as decomposers, others live on plants, sometimes creating galls, while others again are predators or parasites. This last type includes the commercially important Varroa parasite of honey bees, as well as the scabies mite of humans. Most species are harmless to humans but a few are associated with allergies or may transmit diseases."
    so since humans, and probably the ancient builders exterminate parasites i wouldnt doubt that the endermen would do the same, since endermites spawn when you throw ender pearls they could have been hanging out on and endermen's... pearls.
    so thats why i think endermites are mutated parasites that the builders brought to the end accidentally or not
    but thats just a theory! a mini theory, thanks for reading!

      They left it intentionally ambiguous, because you make the story what you want it to be.

      Society has kinda moved on and developed, they're strong enough to take withers on now. There's legit reasons why this makes sense. You can't find netherite tools in End Cities, so the ancient ones hadn't found out how to craft them yet (maybe if we follow Minecraft's development, maybe netherite hadn't even geologically formed in the ground of the Nether at that point). With the rise of a new race of builders, they figured out lots of things that the previous race could not. They can take down what the previous race could not, society has evolved.

    14:08 You lost me here. It is widely known that Wither skeletons are taller than the player and most mobs. For your theory to work, the ancient ones would have to be just as big as the skeletons they decay into. They’d have to somehow grow in the nether, or there would have to be some sort of evidence that there were different heights between the builders, something that sounds unlikely given the fact that all players and all mobs have the same height within their species. If someone could give a possible explanation I’d love to hear it! I have some ideas myself, but none of them really hold up much without something to back it up

    Consider maybe they weren't just trying to resurrect a fallen friend, but maybe it was closer to the original Frankenstein. They wanted something MORE. Something BIGGER to help them and fight for them. Instead, the corrupted, damned souls turned against them and set off on the path of destruction.

    Here's my theory. Somebody who was very famous in an advanced civilization had died from a deadly disease while they were in the nether, when they died their flesh withered away, leaving a skeleton made of an ash-like material. Somebody who was very sad about their death, thought of making a ritual made of soulsand and wither skulls. When they made the odd structure. The three heads started glowing. And the soulsand melted off. When the wither was summoned, it created a massive explosion and started killing everyone. So many groups of villagers either escaped to far away villages, or hid in a stronghold. Very similar to your theory.
