We know that undeads are dead that came to life thanks to necromancy. But every single hero that we know exist has the exact same type of body. So why there are undeads bigger than humans or villagers? There are husks (in Dungeons) wither skeletons and necromancers. Maybe it's just Mojang that is too lazy to add different type of heroes, because they should do again every animation, but if they aren't maybe most humans were basically villager without the nose, and not every one was a legendary hero able to take down armies, monsters and entities thousands of years old, maybe most of them were similar to the heroes in Vanilla, and only some of them became then or was already a hero. Maybe that type was stronger, or somehow they managed to survive from the nameless kingdom rise / fall and they became stronger then, maybe with the tower, or maybe again they were part of the nameless kingdom, so they don't get attacked

By adding iodine they change from aquatic to land animals. There's a high chance of them dying though ://

If the ancient cities had any relation to illagers then maybe they experimented on them ; we know they create a totem of undying and all that jazz. So maybe they were looking for a way to evolve themselves. In turn creating the warden , a mutated land version of the axolotl .

WELL at the credits (aka end poem section) when you kill the ender dragon two entities are talking about you and how you can read there minds and on how we’ve reached a higher lvl but. If the player can now read minds of entities higher then it wouldn’t make sense it could read the universe/world it’s in the same way it could read minds and the reason we unlocked the entities minds and we’re able to read the was because we reached a new peak now there was some text we couldn’t read my theory on this is because we can still go beyond our new peak and the reason we can’t reach it now is because the game needs more updates aka new bosses maybe or an end update SO JEB yes f3 is not cheating just smth we unlocked ALSO if they remove f3 and make it so you can only use it in creative mode/ with cheats activated then we can think at it like the player doesn’t need to read the world anymore because f3 became a useless tool for somebody whos beyond it or maybe it was a sacrifice the player was willing to make to advance.

When I say this I literally mean every canonical spin-off game including Vanilla, Dungeons, and legends. (And whatever else canonical piece of media there is!). Please, ive been trying to piece together lore elements for a while now and im still stuck on some stuff. So thank you!

Hi there, so I'm working on a youtube video covering Minecraft Lore, and I'm trying to decide on a thumbnail right now. Given that neither of them are clickbait, which one do you think you have a higher chance to click on?

1. The Zombie Plauge Originating From Ocean Monuments

2. The Piglins are the "good guys" in minecraft and the most morale mob in the game

3. A more neutral one that doesn't give away much but still shows its a video about lore

Obviously these wouldn't be the actual titles or thumbnails, but just going off the concepts which one do you think would get your interest the best?

Not sure if this would help at all, but because I'll be telling it almost like a story, the video would be longer, like 40-80 minutes ish.

Thank you in advance :)

Introduction:

Farming is easy; we just have to till the soil and place everything next to water...

If plants need water, why don't we? And mushrooms—mushrooms grow without water, too...

I think the answer might lie in how water works in Minecraft.

foundations.

As we know, a single block of water extends for seven blocks; if the last one happens to be a drop-off, the counter resets. This allows us to cover vast areas with just one block—provided the surface is suitable—and generate practically infinite water, since any block other than the original will simply regenerate if it disappears.

Implications for mob physiology:

All members of Opisthokonta (fungi and animals) and Hamamelidae (trees such as oaks) would possess this system, unlike most cultivated plants, which continue to rely on water from their environment.

Extra: Survival in the Nether.

You might be wondering: how is it that water doesn't evaporate in the Nether? Well, another apparent rule is that certain materials have the property of retaining water even under those conditions; we ourselves take water buckets and cauldrons into the Nether, while Piglins sell us water bottles. The conclusion is clear: animals and plants likely have circulatory systems lined with a material—such as iron—that prevents evaporation.

farewell

Well, I just wanted to know what you think.

What parts of Minecraft Story Mode would you consider canon if any? I am aware that is stated to be non canon officially, but some parts do seem to give clues about certain things. For example, would you consider the wither storm to be a canon creature although it’s not possible for the player to spawn? Or any other part that you believe to be canon? (hall of portals, old builders, etc.)

I wanted to yap a bit about the way I interpret Minecraft's often ambiguous lore in this reddit post and possibly expand this into a YouTube video if I feel that it warrants further discussion.

I would also like to disclaim that I have not consumed Minecraft dungeons or legends because I don't have very much interest in them so the sources of my theories will primarily be coming from the game of Minecraft itself and what I choose to interpret the lore as. I am taking ideas out forth by the mobestiary into some consideration when making theories so long as they are significantly supported by the base game and I am not taking social media posts from Mojang into account either due to the inconsistencies and utter Pandora's box situations that this would create.

End portals/Stronghold

I first will talk about the end, portals, and stronghold because those are the areas that I have the most to talk about.

To preface it's abundantly clear that an ancient civilization that is separate from the illagers and villagers once ruled over most of the Minecraft world and across all three dimensions. With their structures containing end portals and implying end access as well as blocks having the wither chiseled into them implying nether access. I also believe that these same individuals created the ocean monuments and end cities as well as now being the undead we see across the world but that will come up later.

Hence forth I will be referring to then as "The Civilization"

First of all, I would like to reject the popular notion that The Civilization created the end portals. This is largely informed by the fact that the end portals are clearly made of end stone, a resources that can only be found within the end.

And in this same train of thought I will be rejecting the popular notion that the builders became the endermen. Considering that it is impossible for the builders to have obtained end stone before already going to the end, This means that they couldn't have become the endermen because ender pearls are needed for the activating of the portal. Meaning that endermen had to have existed before the portal was created.

This all leads me to the conclusion that someone else or something else opened the portals from the end into the overworld, something else originating from the End. I will be referring to them as "The Others" hence forth.

I also firmly do not believe that The Others are the Endermen, seeing as how endermen exist in every dimension and are implied to be able to travel between them at will by the game and the mobestiary. So why would they ever build a portal to get to the overworld? Because the endermen aren't the ones who built it. The Others did.

Time to justify what I just said now on top of the fact that endermen don't have any kind of civilization and don't appear to be very intelligent like Villagers. The endermite is the only mob in the game that Endermen are outright hostile to. The only way endermites come into existence is through the use of an enderpearl. According to the mobestiary, the endermite is a trans dimensional parasite that latches onto players and endermen whenever they use teleportation powers to go from place to place. Not only does this provide evidence that the endermen are capable of trans-dimensional travel beyond the in-game implications of spawning patterns, but it also supports the existence of a 5th dimension in the Minecraft lore. This is also supported by the fact that the endermites do not take contact damage or flee from water like the other "end" mobs, proving their origin lies outside of the dimension. You might be asking what the fourth is. Keep the tinfoil hat on and we'll talk about it later.

Ok, you got all that? Now time for some more crazy stuff

So, we now have established what I interpret the end and portals as and this leaves us with the pieces of some huge conclusions that I will now put together.

Since the end portals were created by The Others, why does the stronghold look like something that was built by The Civilization and look nothing like the end portals? Because it was. Because the end portals look so alien and the strongholds look so down to Earth, it's now clear that The Civilization built the strongholds around the end portals they discovered deep underground. It's very likely that they would have discovered such things since they keep tools everywhere and have mineshafts.

This also helps to explain the rooms and structure of the Stronghold. They're underground unlike all the other Civilization Structures because they were built around something that could not be broken apart and moved to another location. The Libraries were built so that they could catalogue their findings and research from the end and the portal.

So what happened to The Others?

Judging by the fact that the portals were found underground and whatever structure was originally around the indestructible portals had long weathered away, The Others had likely entered the overworld millennia before The Civilization would discover their portals. I don't believe that The Civilization or Villagers are the descendants of The Others because neither the player, their undead counterparts, or any sort of Villagers are allergic to water like the end mobs all are.

So maybe they just faded away into history?

I don't have concrete or justifiable inclinations as to the destiny of The Others yet so I'll have to come back to this one in a different session of psychotic raving.

So who built all that stuff in the end then? And what's this business about a 4th dimension?

Alright. I hear you.

My next claim, is that the End Cities are still created by The Civilization. This is due to the fact that they incorporate phantom membrane elytras, brewing stands filled with water based potions, and glass from sand. All of which are objects not able to be found within the end.

Interestingly enough, the figurehead of every end ship is an ender dragon. And based off the fact that a dragon egg exists, I believe that there were once many ender dragons but they were all hunted to extinction by The Civilization.

The return portal is also guarded by the Ender Dragon. The last Ender dragon.

The dragon's island is isolated and surrounded by a circle of obsidian pillars. Huh. Neither water nor lava can be found in the end. Or any of the ingredients to make the end crystals for that matter. That means to me that those things were created by the Civilization. A way to keep the dragon alive and heal it during a fight.

But why would they want that? And why is there only one central island? And why is there that big void around it?

Because The End is a prison

This is where I'm getting really insane. I believe that once the Civilization finished scouring The End and realized that it was a barren hellish dimension devoid of life or useful resources, they turned it into a prison of sorts.

That would explain the dungeons underground on the overworld. And all of those holding cells in the strongholds.

I believe that the Civilization using the End as a way to exile their prisoners is a likely solution to these things.

Although I of course can't be sure.

As far as the end goes, I've now reached a logical brick wall with the content of my sources.

It's very hard to tell what the Civilization would want to do with the End islands or the End.

To me, it's also possible that the Ender Dragons and The Civilization were in a war, leading to the closing of all of the end portals, abandonment of the end ships and cities, and the last Ender dragon guarding the only portal out of the end. This is also lightly supported by the fact that the Ender dragon only attacks the player and not any other mobs. Maybe the ender dragons were The Others? Who knows?

Now that I've finished raving about The End, it's now time for me to talk about the Deep Dark. Oooooh aaaaaah. Spooky.

The first and most important part of looking at the deep dark is to take a closer look at the ancient cities and most importantly the clear timeline and logic of the structures.

In the state that we now see the ancient cities in, the situation looks dire. There's carpet and wool put everywhere to avoid detection from skulk, furnaces with tools being used as fuel, chests containing the items needed to combat the skulk, and all of the buildings are destroyed or half consumed by the skulk.

Wait... The carpet, wool, and adaptations to the presence of skulk can only mean one thing. The skulk wasn't here when the city was built. It arrived here afterwards.

It arrived through the giant portal structure in the center of the city.

And considering how skulks spread, through the souls and experience of dead creatures, it looks like it killed everyone who used to live down in the Ancient Cities. All of The Civilization members who lived there.

But why would they do such a thing? Why would they open a portal to a random awful dimension? One filled with monsters as awful as the Warden?

Humbris and maybe fear

Notice how the reinforced deep slate blocks that make up the portal in the Ancient City are breakable in survival? Notice how they are made with both overworld and what looks like endstone! Notice how they are in the same portal orientation as the Nether portals, portals that are less advanced and were accessible to The Civilization?

This all means to me that the Deep Dark portals are an immitation of technology from The Others. A pitiful attempt to make something as perfect as the End Portals to another, totally separate dimension. Not two that are intrinsically linked like the Overworld and Nether. an experiment just like their Redstone science contraptions contained within the ancient city. The ancient cities were scientific and magical research facilities.

They opened portals to a dimension they didn't understand and were invaded by a lovecraftian force of horrors beyond their imaginations. The skulk. And the wardens.

Ok That's hubris, but what about fear?

Maybe, The Civilization was driven to open these ancient city portals before they were ready because of the zombie plague that was clearly ravaging their civilization and was infecting villages, leaving them abandoned, spreading to the nether, creating infinite armies of the dead from their companions.

Ok that's enough. For now

I hope you enjoyed my tinfoil hat wearing post. Please share your two cents or any logical leaps I havent attempted yet.

If you made it this far, thank you for reading.

How many times has it been now maybe

a thousand. a million. a billion times I've died,

I've lost count now

time has been slipping and every time I come back all I can remember is "wake up" and then I'm there seeing another player again.

I wish I could tell them.

I wish I could tell them everything who I am, who they are and the universe

I would just like to say "Hello"

I can't say anything.

I can't even speak!

Every time I try all I can ever say is that darn word!

Hhhuuuuuuhh!

Sometimes I wish sometimes I wish that the entities didn't do this to me. Sometimes. I wish I could go back go back to the time before.

Wake up!

There's another player. I hope this one is nice it looks like they built something.

Why do they push me? Why do they wish to hurt me.

They've led me to what they built they've pushed me in

it's crushing!

crushing me!

Burning!

My lungs are burning

There is too much sand.

I cannot breathe.

Wake up!

I see another player. This time they have a bucket

That burns and hurts!

The lava why the lava?

Why won't they just ask me?

Ask me who I am

who am I?

where have I gone and what have I done.

How long have I been here?

Wake up!

There's the player again. This is a new area.

Why do they hurt me?

Why do they burn me?

Why can't they just help me?

I wish I could tell them.

Tell them everything.

Tell them the truth

Wake up!

This player is building new and Grand things but why why do they keep hurting me

And thankfully this player just trapped me inside a small room underground

But now what do I do? I feel the player has left

Wake up!

I'm in a new land. This is a new player. Why do they hurt the villagers and kill the golem only for iron

Why do these players torture us?

Burn us and steal from us.

Why can't they just help? I can't anyone just help?

Wake up!

Soo it's been going in my head for a while and I never saw anyone talking about it so I thought to talk about it myself..

You guys noticed anything related to End Dimension has "Ender" written in its name?

I was thinking of this dude ender

Like remember we craft the eyes of Ender?

Who exactly is this dude ender?

Those eyes are not from the dragon as we know dragon eyes are purple

Does this mean there is another part of the story which we are aware of?

Or something happened in the world before the player existed.

What you guys think?

Who is this dude ender

TL:TR

Who is this dude ender he seems to be everywhere

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

What if Steve is a "savant"? He can create End Crystals and pull off feats other mobs couldn't even dream of, yet he doesn't know how to craft chainmail; he simply can't wear chainmail under his armor or put on an elytra over it. He can lift infinite tons of weight, yet he only ever carries items in stacks of 64.

There’s also a theory that Steve is essentially in a "semi-Creative" state. It’s this Creative-mode nature that gives him the strength to lift infinite tons, go years without sleep, withstand massive amounts of damage, and so on—even though he can still die from eating berries or starving. In other words, even in Survival mode, Steve is constantly in a semi-Creative state.

What do you think of my theory?

Don't be too harsh—I'm not very well-versed in Minecraft lore.

Everything began with three gods. But before them, there was an even older entity: Korsae. This theory unites every major mystery in the Minecraft universe – the Builders, Endermen, Piglins, Sculk, the Warden, the Void, and even Steve – into one single, cohesive story.

1. THE THREE GODS

Three pure energy beings, representing the fundamental forces of existence:

• SUNER – God of Hope and Rebirth
• MONER – God of Destruction and Heat
• GONER – Goddess of Wisdom and Love

2. CREATION AND THE BROKEN VOID

• Moner created the Nether.
• Suner created the Overworld.
• Because their powers were limited, a small gap remained between the two dimensions.
• The pigs from the Overworld passed through this gap into the Nether, evolving over time into Piglin societies.
• (In-game mechanics support this: lightning striking a pig turns it into a Zombified Piglin, and a Piglin in the Overworld also transforms into a Zombified Piglin.)

3. THE FIRST INTELLIGENT BEINGS (THE BUILDERS)

• Suner created the Builders (Ancient Builders).
• Goner gifted them wisdom, writing, enchanting, and love.
• The Builders built vast civilizations.
• Their king, Serber, discovered the Nether and decided to conquer it.
• War broke out. The Builders lost badly. Serber died in battle.

4. THE BIRTH OF THE ENDERMEN

• The surviving Builders fled through the broken gap into the End.
• There, they ate Chorus Fruit and gradually transformed into Endermen.
• Their eyes were originally green – representing nature, life, and Goner's wisdom.
• But over time, they turned purple. Purple = Madness. (A reference to real-world artists like Van Gogh, associated with purple tones and mental illness.)
• Goner noticed the broken gap and used her power to close it.

5. ORIGINS OF OTHER MOBS

• The Wither → Moner's right hand.
• The Ender Dragon → Goner's emissary. It has 6 limbs (biologically impossible for vertebrates, proving it's a divine being). Its eyes are purple – meaning it has also gone mad, corrupted by the End.
• Villagers → Failed player clones. (They have limited intelligence, can trade and breed, but cannot build like Steve.)

6. SCULK, XP, AND THE ANCIENT CITIES

• Sculk is the result of a scientific experiment.
• Its purpose: to be a biological weapon for use in wars.
• Cancer research was just a cover story to hide the real project.
• The Ancient Cities were laboratories. Axolotls were used in the experiments.
• XP (Experience Points) feeds and spreads Sculk. (XP is most abundant on battlefields.)
• One day, the Sculk and XP capsule broke. An accident occurred. Everything was destroyed.
• The Warden is the product of this catastrophe.

7. KORSAE AND THE VOID

Korsae is an entity that existed before the gods. It is neither a god, nor a living being, nor a fallen god. It is something else entirely.

• Korsae involuntarily drained the life energy of everything around it. This was its nature, not a choice.
• The gods (Suner, Moner, Goner) realized that Korsae's existence threatened all life. They voted unanimously to cast it down.
• Korsae fell, and Moner took its place. (This explains why Moner is so powerful.)
• Korsae now lives in the Void. It uses the Void to protect itself and to guard a secret.
• If a player survives in the Void (using Golden Apples, Totems of Undying, etc.) and travels thousands of blocks, the environment around them begins to break and distort. This is Korsae's intervention – it does not want anyone to go there. Something is hidden.

8. STEVE AND THE MISSION

• Goner's wisdom, Moner's ruthlessness, and Suner's hope combined to create Steve (the player).
• Why Goner? Steve knows every recipe and enchantment.
• Why Moner? Steve is ruthless enough to kill any creature standing in his way.
• Why Suner? Steve is hopeful, determined, and respawns after death.
• The gods sent Steve as far back in time as they could.
• The goal: to save the Endermen.
• If we succeed, the Endermen will begin to return to normal.

theory by:sad_manner6764

i think creepers are endermen because creepers spawn in the grass where the water is below and endermen die from water and the end is below water. i hope that this has been inspirational to you all.

In the ancient city there are four music discs: cat, 13, otherside and 5
While Cat is really related with illagers (they even have a giant cat statue) and 13 doesn't have music. disc 5 and otherside are a different story.
All disc 5 is a registration of what happened in the ancient city during the attack. Everything except the second part, which is a chill music, peaceful. The same kind of music can be heard in otherside. Chill, peaceful, without dangers or death. And also relic has the same type of music.
I think that the one who registred and made disc 5 went inside the portal during the second part. This could explain why we can hear that music, he was in a dimension were music is important (we have to use music to lit the portal). So the Otherside of the portal have this kind of music, the same as that part of disc 5, the same as the disc otherside, and we know that the portal is somehow related with the well of fate (its symbols are the same as the shape of the portal in the city), maybe it's the same place, and there is this type of music.
In Minecraft the music represent the type of the ambient. In the overworld the music is peaceful, in the nether isn't. In caves it mysteryous, in the pale garden there are just some creacking sounds that make it spooky.
So my theory is that if we can hear music peaceful and chill from that dimension it should be safe to assume that the dimension in the ancient city isn't a dangerous place, and it's not a sculk dimension.

It's a fairly recent one, but let me know what you think!

Sorry if there's any grammatical errors. English is my first language.

I think I thought of a better story and this is just a theory, what if the Wandering Trader is actually the player character from Minecraft Legends. now think about it, He wears blue, gold and red. Blue represents the builders, Gold is the protection from the piglins in the nether. Red underneath his clothes and covering his face represents what he did to the builders. Now if he's the same character from Legends that would effectively make him immortal from the Legends standpoint and if he protected the overworld from the piglins, he would have an extensive knowledge of how mobs work. And if he went to the end with the other builders then saw them slaughtering of the dragons he could have felt shame for what his people were doing and he could have gone through the end portal and steal the eyes of ender from the portal, closing it off. leaving the builders in the end and to their fate. This is why I believe he covers his face so that the enderman can't see him and know who he is. This is also why he builds his tents in the Doppler forests underneath the trees because of phantoms. This is also why he drinks a potion of invisibility when the sun sets so that the phantoms cannot find him. Because he probably hasn't slept or been able to sleep since he was cursed to never be able to use his arms to play the lute or hold the banners or wear armor, And what if every time he dies he gets a sort of amnesia and he is hard-coded to find his successor. you, the player character. Because he betrayed the builders at the end, making him a traitor. the entities poetically cursed him to be a Wandering Trader. Also if you play in Peaceful Mode this really makes this a tragedy. If the game forces his invisibility potion to stay in his inventory when the world is at peace, it means his cosmic torment is directly tied to the mods like phantoms. It also puts his llamas in a completely different light. They are not just pack animals, they’re his only remaining allies from the old world. the only living things that don't look at his red and blue robes with hatred. They stay tied to him because they remember who he used to be, even when his own amnesia wipes his mind. That would also make sense. Why llamas are wearing special patterns they are just symbols from his past. thank you all again for reading. This is just a Theory, a game Theory.
