Respawn Anchors and Recovery Compasses

Many of you, and myself included, believe that respawning isn't canon. However, what's up with the Respawn Anchor and Recovery Compass then? Why do they exist, and why can they affect something that doesn't (respawning)?

I don't like the answer of them being just not canon, and there's enough evidence to convince me people don't canonically respawn.

What do you all think? I've been thinking for a very long time, and I can't come up with anything.

Piglins and Hoglins didn't evolve from Pigs, because they aren't mammals

This is an upside-down pig.

What is it that's important in this image? That's right, it has nipples!

Now, take a look at these topless piglins next.

As you can see, there's a lack of nipples.

Now, you may be thinking about how there's a variety of irl reasons they don't have them, but take a look at this image.

https://preview.redd.it/2garzqei4thh1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=8f2ba8ea8c2ff02ea6d9502e670642661e863f60

This is the hoglin's texture. The red arrow is pointing to its underside.

As you can see, there's still a lack of nipples. The piglins' closest known relative lacks nipples, without any possible excuse as to why.

This highly suggests that both piglins and hoglins don't have nipples.

The only counter evidence is the fact that the piglins in the non-canon movie DO have nipples. Jeb was there to approve the design of everything, but I don't think he'd nitpick over piglin nipples. They're also far closer to human nipples, than pig nipples.

Why is this important? Well you see, this puts into question whether or not piglins and hoglins are capable of producing milk. And if they can't poduce milk, that means they aren't even mammals.

Never in the entire history of earth has a mammal lost the ability to produce milk, as it's an incredibly useful adaptation, and would be even more useful in a place like the Nether.

Not all mammals have nipples, of course, but it doesn't really make sense for an animal to lose them and start sweating milk like a platypus instead.

It's literally impossible for pigs to have evolved into Piglins.

What are piglins and hoglins then? Well, idk. There's not really any groups that'd work. They're fully fictional!

Anyways, thanks for reading about me talking about piglin nipples.

Thoughts?

I think Xatrix Broken God theory kinda sucks.

Real popular theory of Xatrix, and I think it may be the worst theory of his (excluding his older, outdated theories).

I'm referring to the theory of there being a powerful diety, known as "Ender", that at some point had been split into multiple parts. With those parts being the heart of ender, the eyes of ender, and whatever other body parts that theoretically exist.

Alright, let's first take a look at the pieces of evidence for this theory:

  1. The orb of dominance, aka the heart of ender, sees itself as a god.
  2. Wither King asked the devs of MCD if there are more "body parts of ender" than HoE, with Marc answering "Hmm". MansOlson also answered, mentioning the eyes of ender, bringing up the idea of them being potentially related to HoE.
  3. The eyes of ender growl, and the names of the endersent refer to the eye instead of, well, the endersent, suggesting the eyes could potentially be alive.
  4. The name of "endersent" being similar to "god sent", and the name of "guardian vex" being similar to "guardian angel", with guardian vexes also having the unused name "ceravex".
  5. The eyes of ender being seen everywhere in enderman-made structures.
  6. The mandela having symbols similar to the eyes of ender and hearts.

There might be some other bits of proof, but these are most of the important stuff. In my opinion, this is barely enough.
The whole idea of this comes from the vague answer given by MansOlson to The Wither King's question:

https://preview.redd.it/vkezwo3lmteh1.png?width=696&format=png&auto=webp&s=b0524ff1a28e8305b8d6005e31cff913697819d0

This is the biggest piece of evidence. An unconfirmed connection between HoE and the eyes of ender, with barely any evidence prior for people to have made the connections on their own. This has a decent chance to have been nothing, and doesn't even inherently point to the whole idea of "Ender". As far as we know, the Heart of Ender could already be the god of the end itself. The eyes of ender could potentially have no importance to the lore.
The eyes of ender have a decent chance at not even being alive. The growling could just be sound effects, the names could just sound cool. Imagery of the eyes being everywhere could have a variety of different reasons behind it. Why would an entity that has no mouth like to eat food?? The mandela could just be representing HoE.
And even if the eyes are alive, does that matter? A huge piece of counter evidence to this theory is the fact the eyes of ender are craftable. These supposed, pieces of a god, can be made from sprinkling some blaze powder on regular enderpearls. And the argument against this is that it's simply not canon. What?? That's it? It was retconned?? The only thing to suggest that this is a possibility is that it's old.
You may be wondering what's the reason I think they are both "body part of ender". You see, I believe "ender" just means "of the end". Not literally, of course, that would make the names be "heart of of the end" and "of the end man". It's just the general meaning. If you disagree, then answer this. What did it mean before MCD was being made? The reason behind why HoE has a similar name to the eyes of ender is because it's just simply a fun reference.

In short, there's barely any evidence for this idea, and a decent bit of counter evidence to suggest this isn't even possible. At best, I see this as a pretty meh head canon, and I don't know how so many people believe in it.

Thoughts? If I missed anything, please let me know. I'll gladly correct myself.

I wanted to share a bunch of random head canons of mine

Essentially, these are a bunch of theories of mine that are lacking sufficient evidence, but also don't have too much disproving them.

  1. Minecraft is a Post-Apocalyptic Future:
    One day, I thought of something. "Hm, could Minecraft be a post-apocalyptic future?" Well, first we have to figure out when Minecraft even takes place. This will be under the assumption that humans first appeared 300,000 BC in the Minecraft world, as we don't have any proof for any other possible dates. First, we take a look at all of the domesticated animals. The Overworld is almost entirely covered in them, full of pigs, cows, and chickens. Not to mention every village having domesticated cats, and every wolf actually being a dog, as they have much more control over their tails compared to grey wolves. The newest of the animals mentioned are the chickens, only dating back to 1650 BC. This is still quite a while ago compared to today, but we're making progress. Chickens are found in nearly every Overworld biome, with chickens becoming globally farmed in real life at around the 1500s to 1800s. We've reached common era! Alright, alright, we're still technically in the 1800s, which is great, but still pretty far in the past compared today. Not to mention, we don't even truly know if all of this happened in Minecraft, which there's a fairly decent chance that a whole lot of things that happened in real life, didn't happen in Minecraft. Is there any more proof? Yes there is! I may remember this not entirely correctly, but there is a weapon in Minecraft Dungeons that's essentially a chainsaw. It's the Broken Sawblade and the Mechanized Sawblade. Chainsaws were invented in the 1780s, being another piece of evidence, if it weren't for the fact that this is a Nether exclusive weapon. While found only in the Nether Fortress and Crimson Forest levels, suggesting they could've been made by humans, there is still a decent chance they were invented by Piglins, which real life events are entirely unable to be applied to, since Piglins aren't a real thing. But, if it is a human invention, this could be supporting evidence. The last piece of evidence are 2 skins from Minecraft Legends, the RGB Ranger and RGB Horse. The ranger is said to be bursting with futuristic tech, and the horse even being called a robot. While the canonicity of these skins is questionable, especially since one of the beetle skins are a skeletal variant, and because it's Minecraft Legends, it must be noted that some of these skins are seen in vanilla Minecraft (skeleton horse and skeleton). The legendary skins are definitely still more questionable than the lower tier skins, but for this to be in the game at all, makes me think that at least one villager had to have seen something high enough tech, for the concept of these skins to exist at all. But of course, the evidence for this theory is nonetheless insufficient imo, hence why it is in this post. We also mustn't ignore the fact that there's a pretty big lack of more modern buildings, or the fact that there's just an overall pretty big lack of more modern technology overall. The closest thing we have to this is the Ancient City, which only displays some fairly basic redstone.

  2. Pandas are a race:
    For whatever reason, instead of taking control over the pandas, the shard of the orb of dominance on the jungle awakens island decides to capture them in cages instead. At the end of Panda Plateau, they wave to us and clap their hands. The pandas inhabit the buildings in Panda Plateau. They're important enough for there to be giant statues and floors of the pandas. What if the pandas are as smart as all of the races? Villagers, illagers, heroes, and piglins all seem to be immune to the orb's control, instead needing to be manipulated, unlike the less intelligent undead, animals, and golems that mere shards of it can get full control of. This would suggest that the pandas are highly intelligent. MAYBE????

  3. Piggy Banks have a relation to the End, or something idk:
    Piggy banks, strangely enough, have 3 pixel wide eyes. This is a very enderling/enderman/endersent associated trait. They somehow manage to make it into both the Nether and the End, in all levels. They are even able to disappear ON SCREEN. Not to mention the fact that they are strangely durable. Are they undercover servants of the Orb of Dominance? I don't know! But there's SOMETHING End related about them, I SWEAR.

  1. Saying "Jean" makes the entire Minecraft universe nuke itself:
    It's been stated a few times that the Ender Dragon's canonical name is Jean. In an article about name tags, the reason stated that you can't name the dragon is because it already has one. They then bring up the question as to what it is, and instead of answering that it's Jean, they say that saying the dragon's name would destroy the entire Minecraft universe. What if saying Jean canonically nukes Minecraft? Like, there aren't any heroes, or any other characters in general named Jean (I hope for the sake of this theory to be technically possible).

  2. Honey is so sticky, that it can stick to Breezes despite them not touching the ground:
    I asked slicedlime in the chat of a premiere his, where in the video he mentions that they made it so breezes can't jump while on honey blocks. I asked why they can't, despite the fact they hover above the ground, and he told me it's because honey is just that sticky. That's all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How plausible do yall think these head canons are? The first one is definitely the one I put the most thought into, mainly because I like the concept of there being abandoned, modern cities in Minecraft.

The Caretaker's design just got leaked.

Do yall also think there's a resemblance to the vengeful heart of ender, or is this just apophenia or somethin?

The Nether portal is also an Overworld portal.

Okay, so I have been thinking about this for a while now. When you make a Nether portal, it takes you to the Nether (shocking, I know), creating another portal on the other side. But, what happens if you make a Nether portal in the Nether? It sends you to the Overworld. But, think about it. How? How does the portal know to send you to the Overworld? How does it not accidentally send you to a different dimension? Why can't it send you to any other dimension? I started questioning it after Minecraft Legends comes out. How did the Piglins make a portal to SPECIFICALLY the Overworld???? From the Piglins' pov, wouldn't a Nether portal to them be an Overworld portal??
I believe that the Nether and Overworld are connected to each other in some way, as I can't come up with a single other explanation for this.

Tbf, this is probably just a plot hole lol. This might be more of a head canon than anything. None zero chance that my explanation gets debunked in Dungeons 2, or when the 4th dimension gets added to vanilla.

I personally believe Creative Steve would win, due to the amount of bull crap he can pull off with commands, and especially if Creative Steve has the immunity to /kill and the void from Bedrock Edition (Although, the commands may be more limiting). I don't really know too much about the calamity mod to have a confident answer in this. The idea comes from this video, which may also provide a bit of info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fH7aZH5KaxA

Also, I am new here.
