This theory isn't mine, but I want to know what are other people's thoughts about this.

Is it canon? When does it happen?

Thoughts?

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.

4. 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).

5. 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.

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.
