[cirrem]

have i talked about how strange ocean monuments are from a worldbuilding standpoint in minecraft?

like. ub. lets ignore the guardians, and the sponges, and the structure itself. and talk about prismarine for a little bit.

prismarine is found only in 2 places: ocean monuments and ocean ruins. these places must be connected, right?

it is primarily a decorative block, but using it to build a little structure around a conduit powers it.

conduits are made from a heart of the sea, which is ONLY found buried among other treasure

treasure is buried bc it is meant to be returned too and retrieved later. the heart of the sea wasnt meant to be forgotton. maps to it are found in ocean ruins and wrecked ships.

conduits damage guardians. (and other hostile mobs underwater but still)

prismarine shards and crystals is found by killing guardians.

ok. back to the structure itself:

gold??? SPONGES??????

filled with guardians, and elder guardians. that shoot lasers???????

its HUGE.

wait wait i have a crackpot theory:

guardians are biological. prismarine crystals and shards are like scales or something

they are intilligent, but extremely xenophobic. they build a large colony, and thats what the monument is

whoever built the ocean ruins did not like the guardians, which is fairly understandable as they attempt to kill anything that isnt a guardian on sight.

they develop tools and weapons just to fight them, including sponges and the heart of the sea

the guardians raid the towns. they steal the sponges, but some people escape via boats with the heart of the sea and treasure!

they bury the treasure. hoping to come back and avenge their fallen people

the guardians find them, and destroy their ships

also the guardians like gold bc it doesnt oxidize underwater.

in all honestoy i have no idea whats goong on with guardians and the ocean monument. why are they guarding sponges?? maybe the sponges are a diversion and theyre really guarding the prismarine? whats it a monument towards? whys it so big? are guardians related to puffer fish? can puffer fish learn how to shoot lasersare guardians from the overworld or is there another possible dimension? (actially thatd be sick they should add that). lots of people theorize theyre like iron golems and built, but built for what? to guard sponges? of so, whered they get the prismarine?

actually the more i think about it the less the theory of them being constructed to guard something makes sense. like they can age (as there are elder ones), and learn to project images of themselves into your mind and prevent you from damaging the monument. but maybe elder guardian is a misnomer and its like just built different? but the source of prismarine is still an issue.

if any of yall have any ideas as to what the deal is PLEASE let me know

Died to Rush while in the library one time and just found the screenshot

Anyway

Guys hear me out

What if

What

What if

What if the end is upside down and the reason the endermen are so tall and skinny is because they hung down for so long they started to like melt or something?

Not to mention everything there points up like super tall?

The pillars + the block tower in the middle of the portal all go straight up, and I think it's cool to assume they're hanging down

And I think this would be an amazing opportunity to add trees that grow the right way up, but appear to be hanging down because the dimension is literally upside down?

Also what mob do the wither skeletons turn into with flesh?

Questions, questions...

Also I think the hanging trees in Minecraft dungeons backs up my point that everything could be upside down and the trees are actually growing up

minecraft headcanon time! whoooooooo!

whoever built the trial chambers also built the nether fortress. they built the blazes and the breezes in a similar method. ive seen some people online say that the trial chambers could habe been built by pilligers, and i like that.

this also means they likely went to the end, as blaze powder is necessary to get to the end and theres an end portal room in woodland mansions.

igloos were also built by modern day pillagers (bc who ELSE would build them? they had to be built recently bc of the basement)

mineshafts were built by (or at the very least utilized by) the ancient city folks. they had a dual purpose: first to make mining natural resources in other layers easier, but more interesting as mini highways to facilitate trade between them and the surface, sending things like diamonds and riches up, and getting seeds and food sent down.

they probably traded with pillagers? pilligers seem to have a LOT of wool things.

ancient cities may have been built to escape the zombie apocalypse. until it got skulked. either that or they came through the giant portal, trying to (and failing) to escaping the skulk.

the dungeons (or monster spawn rooms, as called by the wiki) are tombs. by looking at the loot there, we can tell that the society of whoever buried their people this way valued horses, music, food (thats mostly gone bad now), riches (both in metals/ore and magic), and possibly trophies of combat.

jungle and desert temples may have also been originally built to be tombs. the loot seems to be pretty similar to the loot in dungeons, so likely the same or similar culture or religion. at least for dealing with the dead. id guess the people buried in these places were a lot richer though.

pilligers and villigers used to be one united people, but at some point they split. when? idk. anything i say was made by pilligers or anythijg done by pilligers may have been a joint effort. besides igloos for obvious reasons. trial chambers were probably also after the split though.

the tombs, ocean ruins, ocean monuments, and ancient cities may or may not have been built by the (p/v)illiger nation people. im leaning not.

trail ruins im thinking maybe were builty by the (p/v)illigers, but if built after the split probably villigers.

Minecraft AS a Deity Theory?

I’m still working on the ins and outs of this little headcanon that I have about the game, since I think there’s a lot of lore potential to consider, but I really like the idea that all of the hints of a higher being are talking about the GAME ITSELF.

Let me explain! Looking at the game in a vacuum (outside of the fact that, of course, it’s a video game CREATED by a person), it makes sense. Within its confines lies trillions of worlds, every block placed by the game. Every tree, river, mountain, flower is decided by it. 

The game controls everything within itself, in its worlds that it creates. It decides who lives and dies. It decides what animals and people are brought into its massive worlds and where. I like the idea that it is sentient, a deity in a way, that its creatures are dependent on. 

There are some implications about the Hosts from Minecraft Legends, assuming the two games are one in-universe. I think the Hosts are merely vessels for the game to cloak itself in, vessels that its inhabitants can comprehend so as to listen to it without fear.

But this also calls into question lots of things. What of the autonomy of mobs? Where did aggressive mobs come from? Were they the work of a benevolent or neutral world? If the game is alive and dictates all of this, wouldn’t it simply smite every ‘evil’ thing off the face of its worlds? And what connection could that have to the role of the player/Alex/Steve? I’d love to see what others have to say about that.

What I love most about this theory of mine is the End poem. What Minecraft really is all about is making your own path in life, living how you wish to. The End poem is not a conversation between two separate beings, it is a string of thoughts from the game itself projected to you. It’s the game’s very message given directly to you. The game is its own universe, and you are the universe, and the universe loves you.

The True Identity of Minecraft's Trails Ruins

My latest video is out NOW!

Let's take a close look at one of Minecraft's most ancient structures. The Trail Ruins!

Who created them? Why do I have beef with the Minecraft articles? And how do they fit in the world of Minecraft?

Come support me!

Minecraft theories if they were good

[jesstra4ivor]

Every single Minecraft world should be allowed to generate at least 1 of every block. That includes blocks that you normally can only get in creative mode.

But the locations of generation are entirely random, and extremely far away from spawn. And fuck it… maybe this only happens AFTER you defeat the ender dragon too.

I think that would make playing in a world quite special.

Imagine it! You and your friends have been playing in a world for years… and then one day while mining in the earth you find the ONLY SINGLE command block you will EVER find in your world. Whoever finds it first becomes a GOD.

You wanna talk about late stage or post end game content? There you go. Go hunt for the single command block that randomly spawns in your world after defeating the ender dragon.

Here's a bad diagram for how I think the dimensions in Minecraft could work. Note that this isn't detailed, I just wanted to get the idea down for once and quickly.

The Host World acts like the Sun in our solar system, with all the other dimensions circling it independently of one another. Each dimension is on its own plane, allowing them to pass through eachother. When two dimensions occupy the same space, things bleed through and blend together, allowing for some odd occurrences such as sculk showing up without an Ancient City in sight, or how the End warped the Nether by seemingly hybridization the crimson forest with their own fauna. Sometimes the dimensions become too far away to interact, causing the connection to be severed between these worlds. Between these world is a space of horrors never described—except the Endermites—and serves as the realm teleporting entities travel to so they can near instantly warp wherever they want.

Is it perfect? Nope! Does it do what it sets out to? Yeah, it explains a bunch of small nothing burgers, which makes me happy! Thus is an old theory of mine that popped back into my head recently, and I just think it looks neat in concept. In execution, it's a little funky, near definitely unintended, and doesn't really solve anything lol. Imagining the dimensions as these massive cosmic events in the making, where one day all of them will align and the gates will open and let lose all dimensions is just a really cool idea tbh, even if the likelihood is slim. Thankfully, my hand canons trump canon because I said so.
