I don't know if anyone noticed this, but when you walk over soul sand with soul speed on, you can see the subtitle says 'soul escapes'
That is really freaky and has tons of lore implications.
subtitles? What are those?
@@aguyontheinternet8436 a setting which turns on subtitles for sounds in the game and which direction they're coming from
@@aguyontheinternet8436 A Java Edition exclusive feature.
Any lore ideas for this?
Hoglins are afraid of portals. Mojang already covered the lack of zoglins. Getting a hoglin to go into overworld so u can kill one of every mob is a task and a half
but piglins are also equally afraid of portals
@@aguyontheinternet8436 you are mistaken, if a piglin is agro and i run past my portal itll run into it unlike a hoglin
@@aguyontheinternet8436 only in Bedrock Edition. In Java & Bedrock, hoglins are afraid of Nether portals. In Bedrock, piglins are also afraid of Nether portals but NOT in Java.
I think the mesa biome is a pretty good representation of the gold rush in US history.
I always thought that mesas should have gold veins. I would love finding bean blocks.
Mesas have gold stuff. Go to a mesa if you have a oroject with a lot of gold.
US history? More like a sewer no one cares about.
Is the Mesa biome a representation of the Black Hills region, known for having had high quantities of precious minerals but also is a sacred area to one or more Native American tribes?
@@briannaherrington949 it can if you want it to be.
I got to admit I like the idea that the wondering player is the key to Minecraft lore. Really the most oddball minor character deserves this role to unlock all the mysteries.
Everything that poses as family friendly has a dark side now. Lighthearted witch isekai? Actually its about a depressed neurodivergent girl that society has fundamentally rejected. A show about a kid and a talking dog going on adventures? Actually its about the aftermath of a nuclear apocalypse that has reawakened horrifying forces beyond anyones understanding. A show about wacky frogs? Actually its about teenagers dying. repeatedly. on the disney channel. This is cool stuff
Cus kids like stuff that’s not meant for kids makes them feel cool 💀
@@samsara2521 I mean, all of those shows were on the disney channel, so it aint really that (though they were made with older audiences in mind, which the majority of their fans were)
The full adventure time timeline is a huge website lmao
I like to believe that "Caillou" is the story of a person whose world is so terrible & chaotic that he spends all of his free time dreaming of a life where he's just a normal child living an extremely boring life.
Owl House, Adventure Time and Amphibia?
I’m always ready to hear secretly disturbing lore of children’s media, the juxtaposition is so funny
villagers are related and breed endlessly. that's pretty messed up 😂
😂 explains why they’re frustrating little … guys 😂
@Divziewhat
@Divzie no??? Oml I need to know what game this was
How is it that the wandering trader travels between dimensions? They're only found in the overworld. Sure, they might have glowstone, but cleric villagers can sell it, and witches can drop the dust, so if that were why it would apply to them as well.
glowstone must be the product of a chemical reaction then, and its existence in the Nether indicates that the necessary reaction can most easily occur in the circumstances presented by that dimension
I think the best theory I've heard is that the enderman were the ones that built all this as they are the only mob that can physically pick up and place down blocks; Add to the fact that enderman are hostile to endermites, which doesn't seem all that significant, until you see it from a different perspective. SIlverfish are hostile to the playerr, and silverfish are very alike to endermites, maybe the enderman were ancestors of steve but transformed to adapt to the harsh end environments. Think about it, the end portal is one-way unless you kill the ender dragon. Since it is still alive when you play, this means that the enderman(which may have once been players) failed to kill the dragon, meaning there's no way home. That's how I see it anyways lol.
Ya matpat explains all of the lore of this game pretty nicely
THE POTATOES WILL RULE THE WORLD AND THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP IT
Yes thiere is I will cook them all😂
Sounds delicious
@@LiliaPerez67 They become more powerfull when cooked , there is no way to stop the potatoes
Truer words have never been spoken.
Haters gonna hate, and Potatoes gonna potate
Mojang confirmed that the different dimensions are different realities, not existing above or below each other, so that could either confirm or debunk the time theory depending on how you interpret it
The imposibility if bedrock roof already debunks "timeline hypothesys"
What makes the skulk block disturbing is that you're exploring through a dark cave of ancient architecture and civilization covered in skulk. This really adds up that there used to be a whole civilization in the ancient centuries.
Its certainly deep
Also Its ironic that mojang is anti violence yet adds in horrific stuff
I think they do it with out gore besides zombie pigmen tho they don’t show blood only green rotten like flesh.
lol, yeah. It's different, I guess.
Dark lore!?
Anti violence? That sounds dumb
@@rainbowdash3419well the original Zombie pig man texture had red blood but it was replaced with green rotten flesh because it was thought that the red was too graphic
9:53 In my headcannon, I think the player is from the end itself, being a construct to save the dystopian future, as you appear just suddenly out of nowhere, the player was likely just teleported there, with their only means of teleportation being a one time one way trip, the villagers being behind the overworld structures, the piglins the nether ones and the endermen the end ones, the player was sent back in time to salvage resources from the past to defeat the tyrannical ender dragon of time's end which may very well be another lifelike machine like he player, but for some reason whether being a war machine gone wrong or a tool that's gone mad, either way, it's much more hostile...
unless your the type of player that likes to slaughter whatever you see no questions asked, in that case your equally evil.
As the minecraft community ages so does the lore
hehe
The lore that I made up for my world is that Steve was shipwrecked on a continent far from home where his kind used to live long ago but they abandoned it after a long war and the land becoming cursed. This explains why the Zombies that spawn look like Steve. I imagine that the Steve race was attacked by a race from the oceans, and that the massive number of shipwrecks and ocean ruins points to a battle fought on the seas. After the land became cursed, the Steve race retreated to their Desert and Jungle temples that they booby trapped, but eventually they retreated underground to the Ancient Cities where they attempted to escape by creating a portal to another dimension and mistakenly unleashed Sculk and the Warden upon the Overworld that led to the destruction of any that didn’t leave.
In the recent past, the Villager race moved into this land trying to escape the oppression of the Pillagers. The pillagers continue to harass the villagers, but they are also driven to uncover the truth behind the curse upon the land to use it for their own purposes. This includes exploiting the use of portals which allowed Endermen to invade the Overworld and Nether, setting up outposts for their raids, and attempting to discover the secret of the Ancient City portals. Steve is now marooned on this land and is thrust into the middle of the Villager-Pillager war, needs to fight off the his undead ancestors resurrected by the curse every night, and he must find a way to create a new civilization.
Unleashing a wither gives "the beginning" which might actually suggest the timeline is Nether, Overworld, the End. The nether would be like the hellish landscape of Earth millions of years ago.
Sorry, no. Its just the core of the minecraft world.
@@NachoDaMan then why can you get on the nether roof? Is there a gap?
@@LemonbreadSC Mojang chose not to connect the two dimensions, and also it would be really laggy.
Just game design.
@@NachoDaMantheres no incorrect theory for lore
I had never made that shulker connection, and now I can't un-think it. Thanks.
i remember when the only option for zombie piglins was a pig getting hit by thunder
Maybe there’s three separate dimensions that they found a way to traverse but doing so destroyed the other two dimensions…
i think all the different races were all 1 mob or 1 faction known as the ancient builders and at some point a curse was placed on them and they could only keep some of their abilities. the enderman can still place blocks but cant communicate or have any intelligence, the villagers can communicate but cant defend themselves, piglins can communicate but their greed is stopping them from going up the tech tree and they are banished to the nether.
i think the ancient builders were experimenting with skulk when they were cursed. thats what the portal is for.
5:12
actually, in minecraft, hoglins are scared by nether portals and run from them.
The wandering trader must be the culprit- he is the quintessential evil capitalist, offering items for ridiculous prices just because they are somewhat rare. It is clear that the disaster that befell the minecraft world was caused by him in his greedy pursuit of money- in the End, it's almost impossible to find anything, so what is left but to buy the only remaining bits of plant life and color in the bleak, hopeless landscape from the wandering trader?
Going with the different dimensions being different points in time theory , I think the sculk is what happens after the end, the souls of all the creatures that used to live combine and form a dimension of twisted creatures and wardens looking to catch the few remaining souls
Okay, the zombie piglins being communests bit was pretty funny.
Of course, they are communist their entire world is red *Plays Soviet anthem at ear bleeding volume*
I agree with Game Theory on this that endermen use to be builders like Steve and Alex
they say the, "trails and tales" update title, "...is all about self expression, specifically self expression through representation, story telling, and world building. And, it’s the journey - your trails - that ties it all together. The Minecraft worlds belong to the players - and so do the stories, or tales, about those worlds."
to me the journey or 'transition' of our story whether it be true or false 'tales' kinda fits more in the lines with Pride month. 😮
5:00 hoglins are scared of nether portals in-game, i thought that was a well known fact, that's why they wouldn't go through them
man the video quality in this upload is so much higher than the average Toycat video. I mean you guys made whole scenes, built stuff to showcase something even if its just for one second, all sorts of camera angles and creative cuts and all that. usually you just have a premade map where you walk around and talk about the things you see but this is so much more complex and planned out. Props for getting that done. Not entirely sure if i like this better tho. Feels more like watching any other Minecraft Explaination video (e.g. TheMisterEpic) rather than a Toycat video.
Been a long time since the Game Theorists did a new Minecraft lore video, so this was a good alternative to tide me over. Speaking of, I have this theory that beds have a magical property that forces the sun and moon to change position due to time not actually moving forward when you sleep in one. If it did, something you put in a furnace would be finished when you got out.
Loved this video - is this going to be a reoccuring theme for some future videos?
My theory is that the zombified piglins are the original piglins that invade the over world in Minecraft legends but they came back through the portal infected so the piglins Learn to make the nether spreaders to be able to survive in the over world without getting infected because they wouldn’t have known that the air was toxic to them before they entered the over world for the first time they would have had to learn about it
5:40 The skeletons probably wandered in during the chaos between the zoglins and zombie pigmen and didn't leave in time and the portal was destroyed leaving the bamboozled boneheads steanded in the one place they can easily replenish any missing or dmaged bones.
Hi Toycat! You probably already know about this but the new 4J Studios game was revealed in today's Nintendo Direct! It's a Overcooked-like game but you work together as mechanics 😄
That sounds interesting, actually.
3:00 I'm fairly sure these are just oversights and limitations of game design... They can't easily track if you letting a villager get zombified was intention or just inattentiveness... Same for hitting/killing a villager
The villagers being combined is the best analogy for big food and big pharma. Filling us with poison, then selling us the antidote and taking our taxes and money as reward
1:00 To me it felt more like it's the souls of other mobs that used to live there... Since the player spawns with 0 exp thus no soul whatsoever. The player is some strange soulless entity that absorbs other creature souls not too unlike the the skulk, for their own gain...
...Which further helps my "the player is a highly advanced soul collecting, terraforming, super golem built to destroy the ender dragon" theory, along with the whole players have the most inventory space compared to other similarly sized mobs thing and the fact that were the only ones besides endermen with the ability to dig and build.
Updates are released to far after they are announced that the features aren't exciting anymore. Mojang should either move minion to right before update or not make us wait a whole year just so they can release everything at the same time.
yeah Minecraft live should be a week before the update
Fun fact: The lack of Dragons in the end and the Dragon Heads found on the front of End Ships implies that the ships were used to travel across the end and slay Dragons, before beheading their corpses to use as trophies.
Speaking of dark things, if/when Mojang adds a new boss what do you think/want it to be.
The giant
there are players all around the world, it was confirmed in dungeons
Only now i realised that in the nether(lands) they actually speak an improved version of dutch, they went from things that looked like afcaho00espjlaxkpowioamx on paper to a language with no writing and something you can understand a lot better, who cant describe their noises with letters?
4:23 and thats where minecraft legends kick in. maybe the player before us handled it if you knew what I mean.
Great video, you should make more lore/theory videos like this one
A good explanation for the hoglins is they run from our portals just like they do with warped fungus
I think the player built all structures because in minecraft story mode there are "ancient builders" who build the portal network, but minecraft structures existed before minecraft story mode was published so idk if im right. But this might mean something.
The thought of the dimensions being time based and not location based is crazy to me, i cant believe ive never heard that theory or thought of it, thats a really interesting take, especially with the message minecraft passively sends about the environment, and with the piglins and villager connection, really good idea there
mesa mineshafts might've been made by the pillagers, looking at the materials used to build them, maybe they were looking for the ancient cities but realized that they don't appear in mesas so they stopped digging them
Probably just looked for surface gold
Ancient Cities can appear in the badlands biome actually, I know a seed that spawns you with both
For the different dimensions, I've always liked to think of it as some old, ancient magic people discovered to open portals to different dimensions. And now watching this, I like to think some of these add to the ideas. Like maybe pigmen are a race of villagers that evolved over time or something. That's why they also trade and have a love for gold. It's something that carried over with them to there. It would also explain why there's also skeletons as well.
For the mine shafts, I've always assumed it was villagers who once tried to mine, but because of the mobs that spawn in the dark, it clearly became too dangerous, and many of them died, so they abandoned them.
Most likely piglins evolved from pigs. Do you remember what happens when pig is struck by lighting?
Mineshafts might have also been dug out by illagers
@@Yegor_Mechanic Oh yeah. Forgot about the lightning thing. So I guess that one is pretty much debunked.
Skulls and ancient pictures show, that most of those ancient structures were build by ancient builders
Don’t ever mention shulkers again, Toycat
10:03 for me is the wandering trader because if you use a certian pattern of trims on a lether blu armor and combine the lether armor with gold you get his clothes
( The trims are those that are find in the trail ruins)
P.S. im italian so if i said something wrong it's because im italian
Skulls in ancient cities, ancient pictures of skulls and humans, maybe enderman...
I think it obviosly is not the wandering trader. Ancient builders/Steves make more logical sence for most of those structures
@@Yegor_Mechanic good point but i was talking about the Trail ruins and for me the wandering trader came from them but good point
@@LEOLEIL09 i think that trail ruins where probably built by ancient villager civilization, but it's unlikely that wandering trader could live that long. But what if he is imortal because of the witch...
this is actually a thing i had in mind for most time of my entire life, what if players built all those structures and then they for some reason went extinct (with the only exeption beeing everyone in the server, world). with newer things having been added to minecraft as we all got older it shows us for example how what seems to be a advanced group of people that formed a city got taken over by the skulk. the only thing missing from this theory is where everyone else went
The editing on this video was awesome, whoever did it keep up the good work
10:50 I will think how shulkers reproduce
I have some lore… The credits after beating the Ender dragon is just boring to read but if you at least pay attention to the last 2 lines it says “You are the player. Wake up” If you know the mob sounds the cave sounds basically every sound what if that was people from the real world trying to wake Steve up… I didnt watch the full video so I don’t know if he mentioned this but it’s still pretty dark.
I think that Steve is in a coma - hear me out. What if Steve went through some accident that caused him to be in a coma? That would explain why all the mobs share Steve's face. What if the Nether are his nightmares and the End is his beliefs. Maybe Steve is nihilistic and the End is a representation of that?
"WT is the person behind all this" (because he can move around the world(s)?
Soo, Wandering Trader is just the Happy Mask Salesman from Majora's Mask then :p
Shulkers are just Americans I guess 🤷🏻♀️
Maybe endermen built everything and used to be players and just evolved because they pick up and place blocks, stand on 2 legs, have 2 arms, etc.
Honestly, wandering traders are so mysterious. I wonder what things they've seen or done
1:46 "100% of people not subscribed will die in their lifetime."
This sentence may or may not be philosophically controversial.
7:16 Probably a gold miner that ran out of inventory space and left, probably kicking the bucket on the way back or went to settle in the nether, dieing and leaving their endless gold ina bastion or perhaps dropping into the lava where their gold got deposited into the walls of the nether, polluting the dimension with gold ore.
This is a really good video, such interesting ideas and theories, really goes on to show how not telling is great. My two cents:
Endermen were players, corrupted by the world going through the stages of that universe timeline theory. They primarily live in the end, evolved over millions of years to sustain themselves on chorus fruit, developed/evolved teleportation to deal with the world being islands surrounded by the infinite void. They are fierce warriors because they survived whatever massive player extinction event got all the souls in the deep dark but as time went on their building skills devolved as they became increasingly insane living through whatever event caused the overworld to become the nether and ultimately the end; potentially as they acquired teleporting tech/skills and didn't feel the need to build anymore, they could just be. It's why, like the player, they can build and switch dimensions.
The wandering trader exists outside of time though, a bit like Lain from Serial Experiments Lain. They are everywhere and nowhere, they have seen everything yet seem like they are wandering blind. If they were able to always carry an item the player would find useful, you could even see them as a hand of god guiding players towards their goal.
When I first started playing minecraft I always thought the end got its name because it was after everyone died and earth got barren
so enderman were once 'players' on the world and theyre stuck in the end since the portal is one way and if u cant kill the dragon then u cant leave. lmao i feel so smart rn, enderman have their own language and theyll only attack u if u provoke them (both very human like) but i think theyre trying to communicate to warn u that finishing the game isnt possible (because it wasnt for them) but also theyre desperate to get u to look or attack them so they can kill u, because they believe its all for ur own benefit since death would be better than being trapped in the world forever- like it was for them. please reply with any other thoughts tyy
i like the think that endermen were warden's people and the ender dragon took them into her own dimension and they are trapped in there and you'll see if ender dragon attacks endermen the endermen will try to kill it to escape
Hoglins are scared of the portal, so maybe something there?
so what if the Piglins mined for gold in the overworld and accidentally surfaced something that made conditions unlivable for their species? Maybe it's the same thing that created the zombies, but where infected villagers could be saved by the gold, the only choice Piglins had was to leave the overworld forever
I think that it probably was the endermen but set in a time a lot earlier than the player sees it, they may have looked like a minecraft player but then evolved after they were done building
Man, now the Shulkers remind me of the Toclafane from Doctor Who
5:16 Easy, they killed each other, and then a random previous heroic character or just a bunch of annoyed overworld mobs took the last one out.
Maybe the shulkers work like flowers and their bullets are pollen and the other shulkers are blooming flowers?
I'm gonna tell my kids this was MatPat
That beeping sound when talking about McDonald's was a great touch.
Matpat theory was that shulkers were robots made from the ancient builders that's what guardians are made of and I know they are because it said that guardians and elder guardians where robots in the mobistsry.
Don’t pigs struck by lighting become zombie piglins?
what makes this darker is the cave sounds when i hear the cave sounds its sounds like something is hiding from you that is not even in the game and the angel cave effect might lead something that they are not angels they are maybe demons but sound like angels thoose sounds can lead to something like the others like the train pass by and thoose cave sounds can maybe lead to the warden also and there is a cave sound where its a minecart passing by. and the music discs 11 and 13 can lead to another player walking and died and that can lead to skeletons and the player getting killed by the warden and 11 has maybe to do with all of theese facts.
How do you make so many videos?
There arent zoglins because the hoglins are scared of portals
3:40 had me laughing so hard lmaooo
6:06
Rule 34 artist: "My time has come"
Someone get MatPat on this right now
There is absolutely no way a bedrock roof could generate in the overworld, so your "timeline theory" doesn't have any sence to even consider it
I haven't ever thought about the fact that there are just exposed ores in mineshafts and why wouldn't you mine that???
If you think about it the deep dark is like a organism and the warden is the protection of the deep dark.
i hope they will explore skulk lore in i hope minecraft dungeons 2
This is some 3 am stuff id watch
Absolutely cracked up at the piglin-mcdonalds analogy :D
I like to think Illagers created the badlands/mesa mineshafts long ago to mine gold for the Evoker's experiments. I also like to think the Player is a golem created by the Illagers, built from wool and brought to life by the "totem of undying", but which was given free will and rebelled against its creators. This would explain why the Evokers' totems don't protect them from death, but do protect the player.
The warden went to the surface and took all the totems, destroying most of civilization
@@JackCarroll1998 A group of Illagers went exploring into the ancient cities to get the totems back, building structures on the ruins to try and keep themselves safe from the Warden. It failed.
The "greater than 99.99% of people who had a house fire were not subscribed" was pretty good, but "100% of people who aren't subscribed will die at some point in their lifetime" takes it to a whole new level.
The players that built the structures were known as ancient builders
I still like my pseudo-theory that the Minecraft world/universe suffered an indescribable cataclysm in an adjascent timeline, and each update is like a portion of reality being restored. Comparing the earliest versions to what we have currently, the world goes from an uncanny, lifeless pocket of dirt and a few types of vegetation and is reconstructed into a world teeming with diverse flora and fauna, and even the history of the dimensions themselves being recovered from the void. The ancient cities, End cities, and piglin structures appearing after our living in the Minecraft universe for all these years tells us that some history remains to be recalled
He used the old outro lol
Zombie Piglins are only ever found in the Nether Wastelands, which implies to me that they are not only not native to the Nether, obviously, but also that the Wastelands were once
Not that
Meaning, Something turned all those Piglins
It means that the portals are not like teleportation device to an another dimension, but actually a kind of time machine...And after checking the blocks used for the portals, it simply means that one who made these didn't want others to go to the end of the world....
The corrupted portals are from Minecraft legends and thats why piglins are zombified
There’s one more suspect. He goes by the name of Red
Minecraft and souls trapped in blocks with skulk and soul sand
Outro joke funny, hee hee, 8/10. I will pick the popular option “all of the above”, Toycat. Though I suspect “Steve” is the last of a prior race, which villagers, piglins, and endermen are but shadows of. Climate change or something. 🤷♀️
I think the warden could be a golem built by the people that used to live in the deep dark's cities, and its powered by souls. So as long as things die on sculk ground, the warden will always have power to guard its home
Perhaps the ancient people that built the cities, built them underground in fear of something on the surface. Maybe phantoms? Or perhaps a red dragon? The warden probably did keep them safe, since no other mobs dare to spawn in the biome, so whatever wiped the ancient people out must have been internal
Bruh. I can hear the wind just howling 💀
