Game Theory: Minecraft Mobs Were Created To SAVE Us!

[@SmubFinger]

Smth I want to note is that pillagers don't actually attack you. Not like other mobs. When a raid is triggered if a player is nearby illagers will fight them with the main goal of killing the villagers. If you get too close to an outpost or mansion you're probably invading so they're defending themselves. And out on patrol pillagers have a certain distance before they notice you and an even closer distance before they aggro. They try to warn you to back off by loading their crossbows and if you get closer they'll chase you down, unlike zombies and skeletons who will attack you as soon as they spot you. I don't think they're attacking you because you remind them of the ancient builders, they're much less hostile to you than they are the other living humanoids in Minecraft, Villagers. They're always provoked in some way before attacking the player but if they see a villager they'll aggro even on patrol.

In 2019, I theorized that the illagers were once allies of the Old Builders, but they felt betrayed by them after they disappeared. I can’t believe that a Game Theory video actually puts forth my old idea. Continue doing the good work.

[@AMadnessAniMaTOR]

14:12 The illagers were not idiots building portals out of wool. They were demonstrating. Designing. Experimenting. When the illagers down in the deep dark had finished the skulker portal, they had obtained new resources: skulk: a texture that is very similar to the end frame. It’s definitely an ingredient. But the illagers down there had not told the illagers up there, as they were too busy coming back to this old idea they had, coming at it with new resources available to them.

[@earlglenn]

Tom is going based off of a theory they did a while back trying to get the timeline called The Lost Cult of Minecraft Illagers. They said that the illagers were trying to mimic what the ancient builders did, but didn't understand why they did it. It's like a real island during WW2 that mimicked the actions of Westerners that came in order to bring them back after they left.

11:00 dude, you answered your own question.

[@OmicronSeven0]

Thank you, I was saying that same thing.

[@WaffleBoiStudios]

There’s direct evidence for blaze rods being around in the past, not for breeze rods. That’s why he didn’t use that explanation. The illager explanation also fit in to explain other things about the chamber, leading him to piece together that the breeze rods came from illagers. While it being around in the past was just guessing bc it was true for blaze rods, breeze rods coming from illagers fit into the larger narrative and theory.

Something to consider. Mabye the trial chambers where ment to train Illigers. Givin that the sound effect for the start of a taid is a war horn similar to the one you hear in the ancient city music disk, they are the ones who use axes and crossbows, and the "guard towers" in the ancient cities share a design language with pilliger outposts and woodland mansions. That seams to suggest that the ancient builders fell back on using whatever mobs they could to fight the wither just like how they used them to fight the piglins.

[@penguinpirate8779]

@@fahimahmed00456 he does clarify that in the mob beastiary that the blaze only spawn from spawners, I would imagine them spawning naturally is just so the fortress feels more guarded and canonically they do only spawn from spawners

[@_shadow_1]

They still only occur in the fortress. Spawning "naturally" is likely implemented simply for gameplay reasons to prevent a soft lock since blazes are essential for game progression.

[@sovi_2]

Maybe it's because the fortress is just infused with the spawners magic?

[@Baubles707]

something ppl don’t think about r the naming of mobs. if an ancient civilization existed, whatever they named their man made mobs didn’t survive. the “warden” “shulker” and other mythical mobs are creatures with names given by steve/the player character. the warden could’ve originally been called like sound activated golem or something. blazes could’ve been a fire charge but its alive so its infinite fire.

My current assumption is that the reason the ancient builders had to leave the surface is the zombie infection, since there isn't a wither running around when we started, (and they'd likely would have the armor and tools to take it down anyway) the infection is air born (aka piglin can be infected intantly one in the overworld), zombies are modled after steve, the average player, and that the new skelliton mob seems like a zombie half way to becoming a skelliton. Presumably there was a wither, it was defeated, then once the infection started. Many ran underground, since there were surviving underground builds from when the wither was a problem, (and the Nether, where the infection created zombie hoglin and the end where the builders became endearment) Edit: further to this theory: the ancient city doesn't have clear holes to the surface, or any kinda obvious route built in, they can spawn completely unconnected by caves, I belive that the warden k1lled the majority of the ancient builders and the zombie virus did the rest, the illagers weren't there (as they are immune) so the group making the ancient city's aren't the same as the group dealing with the wither, the trial chambers were made to test soldiers to fight the wither and once it was dead the zombies and skeletons were fused with the spawners creating the new poison skelliton mob, we also know that the group that went to the Nether brought it with them since zombie piglin exist in the Nether Edit: Thanks for all your input! My issue with warden kills the wither would have had to tunnel bore to the warden, we see no such tunnels, and while there is only one dragon there is implicitly multiple wardens, (Cause multiple city's) not to mention the wither, a mindless monster, wouldn't really have a good reason to go after the warden, or the builders since there was multiple settlements of humans still on the surface to go after. My guess is that we, the players, are similar to the illagers, while villagers and builders weren't immune and the builders forced into the nether and end, the player(s) and illagers were immune, Maybe we were even experimented on by them or what's left of the players, so now we are the only ones, that's why the illagers are against the player character(s), they want to reverse what happened, but without the understanding that the builders had and the access to many test subjects, now they are after the player(s) as their final chance? (I mean totems, the mickymousing of monuments, wool statues, captured spirits) I think skeletons are a form of the zombie Curse since they're classed as undead, but older but I'd love some other theories to what they are!

[@VirginiatheOpossum]

He does say that the Warden killed the wither

[@VirginiatheOpossum]

He did say the warden killed the wither. Maybe the wither started the zombies

I think you are on to something. Especially since even now mobs are a "problem" to deal with. And, wither roses and the withering effect can be noted as decay, meaning the wither could have started the infection.

[@CapitanPablokii]

the wither was killed off by the warden and the illigers accedentally made zombies trying to recreate the builders, known because they have wool resembeling the zombies and by extention steves/the builders clothing in their mansions they made zombies with help of the power over life and death, this seen by the totems of undying letting you cheat death

One idea I had was that the end portal used to be a two way portal.

Love the story you guys have uncovered about Minecraft and the videos that come along with it. :D

[@unboxing_legend7708]

that phantom theory to me seems a bit far fetched at the moment and not concrete enough. it to me is one of those theories in which kinda just tries to glue things together by force to make some sense out of it. the end portal being a two way system tho, is already factual evidence. you can return from the end to the overworld again it just doesnt spit you back out of the portal which is likely just a gameplay element and not a story based element. story wise, the end portal could very well work this way however that part isnt concrete evidence to say for sure that it is. but the fact of it being a two way is factual. the nether portal is factual as well, maybe even the deep dark portal which they pretend isnt a portal, is possibly a two way but from what we can gather, is probally a 1 way so far. you can go in from either side but cant come back out. no evidence explains that the ancient builders returned from that deep dark portal since they likely activated and then escaped the wither or the wither managed to follow them in so for now its just a 1 way system.

in the early days of minecraft, the nether did once actually have enchanted items within the chests of the nether fortress but likely was changed when they finally decided to fix the progressive system to obtain certain items from specific structures as well as going ahead with actually making a hidden story in minecraft in which they eventually removed them for those reasons. all i can remember them once having as enchanted items in those chests were notch apples along with enchanted gear. loot table is far different now tho.

i wouldnt think so. im not entirely sure on this but i think that piglins are aggressive to blazes meaning that i cant see them being able to steal loot from those chests. if this isnt the case though, it could make some sense here. ik that piglins are hostile to the player and also certain mobs in the nether and maybe even the overworld so its not out of the question with either outcomes.

I agree. Anyone who plays Minecraft would know what a "Scrape" sherd means, both by name and shape. I can't fathom how anyone would make that mistake, though I suppose he's elaborating for the non-minecraft players who might be watching the videos the way I watch the "That's Not My Neighbor", "Bendy", or "Shipwrecked 64" content. Wax-on / Wax-off, folks. And remember, Copper Grates make amazing windows.

[@hohi5870]

7:25 that makes sense since the trial spawners keep identities of separate players, like if you are done with your trial someone can still come and fight, and the more players there are the harder the challenge AND you get armour and weapons as reward if you succeed meaning you become part of the army!

14:12 I don't think those were actual attempts at making portals, it's a prototype, I see the Mansion as an ideas vault, it's like a big development center and the max position an Illager could take because it's where they study and help manipulating reality. Illagers are actually pretty smart and organized, Jeb said their story is not complete, we just saw these two sides of them for now, conquering and creating, but we haven't seen what the average illager does in life. I don't think the Wooden Mansions is all an illager can do, but it's where an illager starts and learns. The Illagers might have presented that as a sketch for the portal and the ancient builders perfectioned it

I personally don’t think that the illagers were happily helping the ancient builders. The ancient builders kidnapped and utilised villagers so them doing the same with the Illagers is quite possible I think. Illagers are violent and heartless beings who attack anyone they can in Minecraft legends villagers were forced to fight against the piglins and help the ancient builders defeat the piglins doing so corrupted their minds with the ideologies of war Villagers are pacifists so nowadays that pacifist lifestyle has become stronger tenfold as a result of seeing what the villagers who chose violence became.

[@Dragon997g]

Agreed. Does it not also seem weird that they created the zombies.

[@JackKing97]

@@Dragon997g I personally dont think the zombies were created as they too spawn naturally unlike the breeze they were peaceful beforehand the only reason why they attack the player is because of all the violence confusing their rotten minds piglins and humans are similar-looking and especially considering Pigs share 50% dna with humans IRL

[@Chill-Ice]

Two problems based from the complete lore of minecraft and this video: 1. Didn't some ancient builders return from the end because the bedrock portal was supposedly unlocked (and the rest of the builders became enderman)? Why did most of the ancient builders stay in the end if food was running out? They hopped across two dimensions already, why couldn't they do the same for returning to the overworld? (If you are saying they were unsure of whether the portal led them back to the overworld, the went to the nether and the end unsure of the results, its not like they are afraid of dimension hopping again) Also the reason why we the player probably exist in the first place, because of the builders who returned. 2. If all the ancient builders went through the end portal into the end, why didn't the pillagers follow them too? If they supposely waited for the builders to return, and probably returned to the overworld, why didn't the builders do the same? The wither was already defeated anyways, and the warden is just trapped down in the caves. We the players nowadays can survive the warden, why couldn't the ancient builders mine to the surface but the pillagers managed to (assuming the pillagers did that cos no way the pillagers are staying underground with the warden) I know the lore is just a theory, but these are just some things I noticed while watching both videos, hopefully someone can answer them

[@donkeykong3119]

[@noobdestroyer4758]

[@unboxing_legend7708]

@@donkeykong3119 i would highly disagree on this specific video imo. theres alot here that makes a ton of sense and even way before this video came out, me and quite a few others within the community came to the same sort of conclusion to this specific part of the story being told, before the update came out and only hints were being dropped via new blocks and items and changes to how some gameplay elements now function. that isnt to say i and others are right however, would fully except if im wrong here however theres alot of very strong evidence that points to alot of this being correct enough to the story being told. you work alongside illigers and villigers in minceraft legends as a ancient builder or the mention of them exsisting still while you are playing minecraft legends and its not crazy to assume this story element was carried over from the game which was meant to piece together and make many hints to the story being told for minecraft, included in the main game. one of minecrafts legends main intentions was to create that massove story and build on it as well as explain the missing pieces to the story however the game flopped so its now being done via updates which is a genius idea imo.

Creakeing lore coming next! But I think we already know most of the lore, something like builders polluted the forest, so it turned white, and the creaking is nature taking revenge or something like that.

[@lazarpetrovic1671]

12:54 i dont really think the illagers have helped the ancient builders with making the ancient cities as the dark oak structures themselves look like they were built on top of whatever remained of the cities The illagers were most likely looting whatever remained of these gigantic cities and had made small scale restorations to help with said navigation aswell as literaly making small camps and mini outposts(possibly trying to take over these cities but eventualy they abandoned these camps and outposts as the warden proved to be too dangerous)

[@Bricky_88]

Apart from that, I think the pillagers were in ancient cities mainly for the warden. They wanted a weapon to help them fight in the period of minecraft dungeons. And that is what I think what disc 5 is, a recorded warden-summoning ceremony that clearly didn't go well. The first part of the disc would be the illagers marching through the city, then there's a cut, here they stopped recording because the warden killed everyone, and the last part would be the last pillager trying to escape with the recording and recorder. Eventually, the warden caught him and broke the disk as he killed him, causing distorsions.
