    In my last Minecraft episode, I peeled back the mysterious layers of the Minecraft Illagers. In that, I talked about how the Illagers were looking to build their own Minecraft worlds - from portals to Steve himself. There was something else that I wasn't able to cover in that episode, and that is how Minecraft Illagers relate to the history of what is known as cargo cults.

    I just noticed something about the wool statues in the mansions. The animal statues are Cats and Chickens. I belive cats are pretty obvious, witches have pet cats in minecraft and work with the Illagers, but something caught me with the chickens. In the mobestiary they say that Chickens might be spys for dark forces, since they can be ridden by baby versions of zombies. In fact, they're one of the only mobs in the game that can be ridden by a monster such as ravagers, spiders, and skeleton horses. It seems oddly specific for those mobs to be in there as a giant statue rather than any other mob, seems like Chickens in minecraft also have some dark connection lol

      This could be true. If you think about it the player just wakes up in a new world. Could the player be the original builder/builders but maybe something went wrong and the player loses there memory. But because crafting was second nature to them they learn to build things the rest of the world still doesn't fully understand.

    Maybe they try to remember what it was like when they used to build and bring life to dead people. Them, unlike Villagers, want to bring the ancient civilization back and they don’t know how, so they use cargo cult to bring them back, so the ones that started to build would show them how to do that, how to creat more advance builds, and bring persons back to life.
    I feel like this way it fits with your theory about how villagers and this ancient civilization used to be one. But idk your the expert with theory’s after all.

    I just had a few thoughts:
    - Why does the End Portal require Eyes of Ender to activate if the Ancient Builders went into it before Endermen existed? How did they first activate it, and who made the mechanism that required the Eyes of Ender?
    - Furthermore along this line of thinking, did the Ancient Builders cut the eyes out of people to use to conjure the portal?
    - Also, why are the Eyes of Ender so large when placed into the End Portal slots? Is it just an arbitrary thing insofar as graphic design, or is there some other force at work in there?

    • @plainbagel4411
      @plainbagel4411 4 роки тому +68

      Maybe Eyes of Ender are a remnant of some sort of “life force” the builders had, so the initial opening required sacrifices? But that would mean whoever started using eyes of ender must have known what had happened to the builders

    This also explains why the evokers have totems of undying. If the ancient builders really did come in contact with the villages, they would have given some of their items to them just as a normal player would likely build a base in a village. Since the ancient builders were likely experimenting with life and death, some of their magic would have been adapted by the evokers through the totems. This also explains why they don't use the totems to stop themselves from dying, they don't fully understand how those magic items work.

    I thought that perhaps the illagers grew up with stories of the end portal and people who left with it, maybe seeking knowledge and even family or ancestors they based builds off of those stories. They might have never even seen an end portal that way only made assumptions of what they read in stories. And perhaps when they worked to find out more about those who left for the end, even pushing themselves to the point of doing something with lapis. Maybe that's when the other villagers abandoned them. The Illagers angered by the villagers continue with their experiments falling deeper into darkness. Where in that darkness like the theorists said they kidnapped and changed the villagers into those hulking beasts. I wonder if the illagers are just children who grew up on stories of those theorized ancient builders, and out of curiosity mimicked those builders with their fake maps, beds, and portals. Of course all of this is based off of what the Game Theorists have made.

      Honestly it has happened a lot of times in media. A writer vaguely hints at an idea they had in their head, however the fans manage to make a theory out of hints in the medium which ends up being more interesting or more concrete than what the writer had planned, so much so the writer went 'Yep, that's now canon' or they adapt on it more. Honestly its kinda a nice thing, the fans get validation and closure, the writers get propted up for a better theory than intended, and in the end the questions get answered

    Hi, pls hear me. What if they were they "enemies" that made the race of the first builders flee and try to run away? I mean, IT IS JUST A THEORY but it could be true. The vindicators and the other kind of illagers in mansions ( i dont remember the name) appera to be not "not that much civilizated". So, what if the ancient race pf builders was afraid of them? I mean, evil villagers creating mobsters and playing with life are surely not the best friends. The builders built the strongholds and the portals to get away, and their "enemies" saw the portal. I always say " enemies" and not just enemies because the builders wouldnt probably know if their enemies were enemies or allies that didn't know how to act near them. So, the builders were afraid and made the portal, their fake enemies followed them and saw the portal and since they had access to such magic as life creation understood that the portal was a one way gate. So, with my theory we solve thw "who were the builders' enemies" and how they have seen a portal. Now as a result they are trying to recreate a portal to bring the people they admired so much back. I think that this theory is prwtty much solid but i dont have the time to find evidences. If you actually read this I wont you to know that I admire you and I would like you to answer to this comment, even something like jrjdndjdnsjenskidhn (random keys). I hope that this comment will be helpful

    Something was bugging me while mat was talking about the cargo cults, he states that the Illagers were trying to recreate portals,maps and beds by using wool because they didn’t understand the concepts (like the cargo cults) but hear me out if illagers were past villagers wouldn’t they know how to build beds? Because in minecraft the villagers have real beds in their houses, this means they must have known how to build them before they were exiled. but thats just a theory A MINI THEORY (sorry for the bad spelling)

    • @gman235
      @gman235 4 роки тому +78

      Well new beds aren't made in villages. By that I mean new houses aren't made. The Shepard knows how to make beds after leveling him up quite a bit but I think that the villagers might have forgotten how to make beds from the old race and now they are learning from interaction with us. No shepherd can trade beds without some interaction with us(all they want is different colored wool at the start). With this lack of information, illagers would also not know how to make beds. There may also be a large time gap between us and the old race so the villagers alive may be generations old so new villagers may not have learned about beds, just like new illagers.

      The builders most likely were the ones who created villages for villagers, perhaps before that they were tribesmen, until the ancient race of builders came and bestowed them this knowledge, and gave them more and more stuff like beds, carrots etc. until they basically took them for granted. And when they left. They couldn't do anything, and hence the new generations were slowly losing the knowledge until it vansihed

    I just realized something: When you kill an evoker, they don't pop the totem, but when you kill it it drops it, so maybe the reason the illagers do raids is for souls that in turn are used for totems that would give them immortality.

    I think I've got it. Since we were the first successful ones, we were an unnssuccsful zombie. They were so used to zombies that soon they only tried to make zombies that they were freaking out so they tossed us out to sea. The only question is, how did the experiment go wrong?
