You actually missed a VERY important detail. The piglins in the nether are actually scared of the zombified piglins. This means that the piglins are actually aware of the virus and tend to stay away from those who have unfortunately been affected. Minecraft is already a pretty scary game but now that makes Minecraft a whole lot scarier...

[@dimentio9833]

It really depends on wether the zombie piglin fight back against piglin, if they fight back then them being scared and running away dosent really mean too much and could just be a unique interaction, it would be more interesting if the zombie piglin dont attack back because that would mean more.

Here is something: Zombies piglin aren’t mindless, they cooperate, they aren’t really flesh eaters, so my hypothesis is that the virus can’t break their blood brain barrier, but for us, they might be able. And the air for us isn’t dangerous probably because we have some kind of protection (like a immunity to the disease).

Looking back at this theory after watching Matpat's Minecraft Legends Theory. Although that could debunk the Zombie theory, I remember that when the Nether portal opened, the surrounding area literally became the Nether. That might explain why the invaders didn't get the Virus, because the ecosystem was changed near the Portal, allowing the Piglins to survive, since it sterilized the area near the portal and the battle took place near the portal.

I still believe that the ancient builders ran to the end because of the wither, but sometime before that a zombie virus broke out that turned some of them into zombies, but then they got immune. So then they tried to toy with death to bring their deceased friends that died in the nether back to life and ended up creating the wither, causing them to flee to the end.

hey matpat about the zombies spawning in the nether on hard difficulty zombies can spawn additional zombies to "help" when damaged. Each zombie has a "likeliness to call reinforcements" statistic ranging from 0-10%, and "leader" zombies (0-5% depending on regional difficulty) get a bonus of 50-75 percentage points to the stat. When the zombie is damaged by an entity or is damaged while targeting an entity, up to 50 attempts are made to randomly choose a spawn location (0 or ±7-40 blocks away in all three axes) that is above a block with a solid top surface, has light level 9 or lower, has no players within 7 blocks, and has no colliding entities or blocks at which to spawn the reinforcement. Both the damaged zombie and the new zombie has a 5 percentage point penalty to their "likeliness to call reinforcement" stat, preventing infinite zombies from spawning this way. Zombie reinforcements can spawn even in locations where naturally spawned zombies can't spawn, like mushroom biomes, The End, and Nether biomes zombie piglens count as zombies and have their own reinforcement stat

Even LIGHTING a nether portal will kill you. If things other than you can be sent through it, the heat will leak out from the nether, devastating the environment.

[@envoxity9544]

Maybe once the zombies died and decayed away naturally, only leaving their skeletons, the illagers got a hold of them. The evokers did some bibbity boppity boo and there ya go, an alive skeleton for their armies. Although, they dont spawn skeletons in raids. Maybe the evoker made the skeleton into a vex? With feathers from chickens, and swords, making a potion, splashing it on the alive skeleton. Making it a vex. These are all just of my theories off of the top of my head.

Yeah, same with the ruined portals. Like of course the ancient civilization would build a lot of nether portals after finding it of use for resources, and then the nether portals would decay over time.

FYI, influenza was ABSOLUTELY in the Americas prior to Europeans mass arrival, ALSO, a VAST majority of the natives who died from disease died prior to the first smallpox outbreak, most likely from Hanta virus and another disease that started spreading BEFORE columbus arrived, however that one is not known what it is.

[@lydiaperson7251]

only started the video, my idea might be mentioned or thrown out the window but i had the thought that since they ‘die’ when travelling through the portal within a matter of seconds, being exposed to to what they are no longer able to fit against might be the course or the thought i had was linked to the nether-wart, the reason they where able to stay healthy was because they have the nether-wart and not being i’ll to begin with they stayed healthy, but with the pigs they brought with them were ill (so that’d explain the rotting of skin) but the continuation of eating the nether-wart kept them alive long enough to evolve but the effects could never undo the effects of the illnesses that had infested them to begin with. i have no clue if this train of thought made any sense, but i just wanted to put it out there

[@EmTom44]

One thing I find interesting about this theory, is the fact that when a piglin comes to the overworld it becomes a zombified piglin, but when a hoglin comes to the overworld it becomes a zoglin. However, a zombified piglin, is completely passive unless you hurt one, and zoglins are the most aggressive mob in the game, attacking almost every single other mob it encounters. Wonder if anyone has any thoughts or theories about why this happens?

[@ellie-the-seagull]

Well, they're entirely different species, perhaps they experience symptoms differently?

[@that_weird_bird3948]

Hoglins are already hostile though, and being a zombie would make them more aggressive.

[@Voxen1687]

The one mob zoglins arent extremely aggressive towards is creepers, which is a design feature so your world isnt filled with creeper holes

[@catpoke9557]

Simple. If they didn't make zombiglins neutral, people would get angry since they'd have completely wiped zombie pigmen.

[@metayoshi1712]

Piglins are also easily distracted by gold, making them neutral if you're wearing at least one golden piece of armor. Their zombified variants are taking their docile nature and putting it to the max... unless of course you accidentally punch them. Hoglins are however, territorial, and thus will go after anyone or anything that invades their turf. Zoglins are pretty much the berserker variant of the Hoglin, going after almost anything.

Fun fact, you can still catch a cold in the middle of a hot summer, the actual reason you're more likely to in winter isn't due to temperature, it's due to a shift in habbit brought on by winter

[@Transformers2Fan1]

A shift in *whose* habit? ('habit', not 'habbit' which isn't a word) Also no, temperature *IS* a factor, as it affects the outer coating of a virus - warm weather melts it, while cold weather reinforces it.

[@DaZebraffe]

@@Transformers2Fan1 That, and the fact that being cold absolutely weakens a human being's immune system, leaving them more vulnerable to infection. (That being said, being cold by yourself won't make you any more likely to get sick, because there's nobody around to cough germs at you.) As to Aldzarin's comment about changing habit, they were referring to the fact that in the winter, people tend to stay indoors with their room mates/family/etc., which leads to what MatPat was talking about, with tightly-packed people being a breeding ground for germs.
