    The world of Minecraft is vast and pretty well explored... except for one place. You see, we've covered a LOT of Minecraft on this channel, and in doing research for all of that I've noticed that one place remains mostly undiscovered - or at least un-theorized! The underwater biome of Minecraft is FULL of weird creatures and tons of interesting lore, if you know where to look. Spoiler alert, I do! Today we are diving into old Gods, ancient ruins, and more! Get your scuba gear ready, Theorists!

      It looks similar however I don’t think they are the same thing. The square at the center is larger than the part that produces laser and you can only get command block in Creative.
      You could argue that they could have changed to Creative mode, but then if they could, they wouldn’t be wiped out.

    I wondered for a while why Drowned felt creepier than Zombies. Then I realized it’s the arms. Zombies arms are always up. Drowned put their arms down at rest. It looks more player-like, at least to me. Like the uncanny valley for video games. Which is especially weird since I don’t really experience the uncanny valley.

    Theory: the guardians orange protrusions are made of copper, which is why the elder guardians variants are blue, because they oxidized. Why did they oxidize in water? Because the elder guardians weren’t MEANT for the water. The ocean monument wasn’t underwater originally yes. The elder guardians were the original protectors, since yknow they weren’t as needed because the ancient humans could also assist. But as the ocean slowly flooded the temples, newer, yet less weaker guardians. We’re made and taken to the monuments in large numbers. all the guardians, including the elder ones were given tails and underwater enhancements to aid in the protection of the holy monument, thus the newer guardians never oxidized, since they were always underwater.

    Also the fact that when a guardian hits you, you get a debuff which prevents you from mining. Most players will find this as a slight nuisance in their quest to get to the gold. But what if it was actually the guardians mechanism to stop you disturbing whoever they are worshipping, if that was perceived to be the house of their ‘God’ it would make sense to do everything you could to protect it? I mean it doesn’t seem to have much affect on the player so it wouldn’t be for attacking prey or defending itself. Unless they are there for the sole purpose of protecting ‘Gods house’
