Centuries ago, a long time before the first minecraft player had stepped foot onto it’s land. Minecraft was home to the ancient builders. These people were an advanced civilization far advanced than the modern person. They have been trying for centuries to expand their home. They tried with many portal designs. They finally found one. They placed 14 obsidian into a ‘0’ shape 4 blocks wide by 5 tall. They were experimenting with different ways of activating the portal, they eventually tried fire. And what happened shocked them. This purple swirling thing. They knew that they did it and wanted to test it out to see if it was safe. They sent pigs into the portal to test it. And when they responded, they went in. half of the society stayed behind to build the mineshafts to gather resources to bring to the other dimensions. Also built sand temples with traps to protect their things as well as jungle temples. Ocean monuments to worship god. (Quick reason time! Ok so it is to worship god as they represent temples, also they contain a gold middle and the 23 pillars holding it up, 23 is important to some religions) villages were constructed for later generations. Those who went into the nether, quickly realized that they made a terrible mistake that will change the future forever, they smelted the netherrack which is of plenty in the nether to make nether bricks to build their fortresses. They placed chests to store their loot. Now notice that the items only come from the overworld, thus backing this theory up. The pigs are farmed for food. Conditions are tough but an advanced civilization like that can manage. The enemies there are brutal. They were once evil mobs in the overworld terrorizing the ancient builders, but have since been banished by god to the nether. Some of the builders were sent to look for other locations. But due to harsh conditions, the travelers died off. The nether is a cursed place, the nether itself is the wicked therefore, the souls of the dead builders got sucked into the ground turning it into soul sand.
Imagine being trapped in a small box with little leg room and cramped. That’s what they get to endure for all eternity oh and it is HOT down there so they feel like their melting and burning. The blue fire is literally their soul burning!. That is why the faces on the soul sand are in despair. They are 100% conscious and they see burning void and melting flesh for all eternity. They cannot have conversations with friends as everyone is in despair and cannot even begin to fathom their position and that their future would soon become very bleak and bad, so they do not respond to requests of conversations.
They died out in masses. Now the remains of the bodies who died, turned into corrupt wither skeletons. They are now guided by the nether. These uncontrollable beats return to the fortress to establish domination over the invaders. Soon the remaining ancient builders are running out of food, but notice a sort of ‘fungus’ is growing from soul sand which is now known as nether wart. Nether wart is a fungus, as it grows in 4 stages and looks like a mushroom. So they thought it’s just a special species of mushroom (it is a fungus) therefore, they use it to feed the pigs as they are a bit hesitant to eat the nether warts. They build nether wart farms in their fortress, soon they find that you can brew with them! They make fire resistant potions, but soon adapt to the harsh conditions so they don’t need to pop one every time they don’t want to become a roasted marshmallow that went too close to the fire. The pigs slowly turned into a zombified version because their diet wasn't pure mushroom, but nether wart was another fungus but not mushroom. The pigs overtime learn to walk on 2 legs. The ancient builders took notice and were in panic that they would lose their meat source. They find that they need to bring their buddies back as they can put their heads together to fix this issue. They thought, if the soul sand contained the soul, then they could reconstruct the body, and inject the soul into the body to bring them back. They had to steal a couple of heads from the wither skeletons. Once they collected it they got some soul sand and started building a human. At first they did 2 blocks of soul sand on top of each other, and a head. It didn’t work. So they add the arms making it look like a ‘T’ shape. The nether is getting frustrated that the ancient builders just aren’t leaving. They place on the top of the T shaped soul sand shape, they put 3 heads, in hope it would do something. Now it did create something, but not what they were expecting. A 3 headed unstoppable beast that destroys everything on site. They finally figured that the nether is trying to boot them from their land. But instead of leaving, they tried to shut their portal down before it could escape. Now this time the nether made a HUGE mistake by making that monster as it became too corrupt that not even the nether can control it. It left the nether!!! The nether not realizing the wither is gone, did a great purge which wiped out most of the people there. Which greatly increased the soul sand population. Now, all that was left are zombie pigmen. Who acquired their swords through the chests the builders left. They only have brought gold swords as their weapons and the zombie pigmen can’t craft have to make due with a gold sword. There are wither skeletons to protect their fortress. Blazes and ghasts and magma cubes were brought in for doing bad deeds on earth. The magma cubes are the nether version of the overworld slimes. Only one ancient builder survived, and left the nether to warn the rest of the people. They need to hide. They hid underground VERY deep, almost bedrock level. They built these ‘Strongholds’ to protect themselves. As advanced civilization they quickly acquired the knowledge that there are a few things the wither can’t break. (Bedrock, command blocks, end portal frames and the end portal blocks) they build a portal with a different design. This time they went flat rather than vertical. They placed a silverfish spawner as they think it is a ‘ritual’ to put it there. But when they spawned, they were nothing but peskey rats who tried to attack the builders. The silverfish manage to get stuck in the blocks and only awake when another silverfish is injured. The builders manage to open the portal to the end. Not knowing what to expect, they first sent a few silverfish into the portal then they followed. Little do they know, that the portal is one way and cannot get back. They land in the end and notice they can’t get back. Luckily, they brought tools and food to help them but only for a limited time. There was this HUGE dragon.revived by crystals and sentenced to remain on that one island. The builders’ traveled out to avoid being nailed by the dragon. They find a nice area with these chorus fruits. They notice that they can eat it and replant it.they were thrilled. They used the blocks around them to create these ‘end cities’ with chests containing far better loot then the nether chests as it took centuries to make the portal. The silverfish had to rely on eating chorus fruits to survive. This turned them into endermites. Over thousands of centuries, the ancient builders transformed into the current day endermen. They gained the ability to teleport through the chorus fruit and got taller to reach the top of the chorus fruit plants. There are living proof that endermen are people! First they can pick up blocks/place them. Yes they are picky but that is still proof that they are people! Secondly, they have a language which we can understand! Sure it’s a bit distorted but you can hear What’s up? Hello! Look for the eye Back in the overworld, a war is raging on to defeat the wither. The remaining ancient learnt that dimension travel is a bad idea that has its own. They stayed back but deep underground. An army of trained fighters manage to stop the uncontrollable beast. The ancient builders can surface again. But with centuries of hiding, became very degraded and lost the abilities to build and craft. They had to live in pre built villages that they build before the invasion of the wither. As the army returned, one of them fell critically ill. One of the villagers kept the skill of brewing, and brewed up a nice supply of healing potions for the hurt army. Unfortunately, 2 army members died from this unknown infection. They confirmed it to be worse than poison and confirmed it to have came from the wither so, they named the infection the wither. A few ancient builders remained and they harnessed the power of the wither infection in tipped arrows. As night fell, the ancient builders slowly died off and turned into zombies and skeletons. Zombies went back to the village to eat the villager’s brains as they knew it had the memories and skills of building and crafting lost to time. Zombies didn’t care if it killed off the villagers because they were so frustrated with being a mindless zombie. The villagers knew they need protection. They knew they can’t build so this ‘thing’ must be summoned. They did a prayer to the gods to make a mob that can protect them from the zombies. The gods responded by dropping an iron almost beast like creature. Now they didn’t harm the villagers, instead protected them from the zombies who are trying to attack. Because they built the ocean monuments, the gods are more keen on protecting the villagers.
THE ILLAGERS AND THEIR POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH
There are tons of evidence that the evokers play with life and death itself. To understand this we’re going to have to first look at the vindicators. Note from the ‘Mobestiary’ it states under the lines of as an illager, their numbers are fixed. They cannot reproduce what happens when they die? They don’t reproduce so they must corrupt someone into being like them. Villagers do reproduce. Notice that the illagers are hostile towards the villagers. In the woodland mansion which is the first structure NOT built by the ancient builders it contains prison cells, alters and other mysterious rooms. But the rooms we’re looking at are the prison cells, the altar and the illager statue. Let’s first take a look at the blacksmith room. Notice a vindicator always spawns there. This suggests that a once blacksmith villager was converted into a vindicator and it kept it’s traits of blacksmithing though loses the ability to forge anything. Another hint is the melon garden, a vindicator like the blacksmith room always spawns there. This suggests that a once farmer village turned into a vindicator and keeps its interest in farming but cannot farm. Another suggestion to this theory is the unreal resemblance to one another. First the big bald heads of both vindicators and villagers. Then they both got huge noses and they both have the same ‘ha’ noise. When a vindicator isn’t chasing you with a sharp iron axe, their arms are together like the villager. Ok so we confirmed that vindicators are corrupt villagers, but how did they get that way? Well then we have to turn to the illager statue. (the image above) oh need more proof that vindicators are villagers? Notice the image looks like a vindicator but not quite. It has a unibrow which only villagers have and green eyes also what villagers have and vindicators have blue eyes. It does however look like a villager halfway through the corruption process. Also if you find that room in a mansion and you mine into its head, you’ll find a block of lapis lazuli! It makes sense! From green eyes to blue, the lapis is literally changing their eye color and corrupting them. So, other indicators and evokers are stealing villagers. So when a raid happens, when it looks like a villager died, they are just going into the vindicators pocket to be transported to the jails then to the altar which then the evokers will shove a stone into their head, corrupting them. Oh and notice how you need lapis for enchanting things? That suggests lapis is a magical stone. Vindicators are a ‘dumber’ mob. Nothing makes you lose a few brain cells like literally having a stone NAILED into your brain! Ok so that explains what vindicators are really but how about the whole life and death part and that takes us to the vex. Vexes are like ghost. They can fly, they can go through blocks without taking damage and are hard to kill. The evokers summon these pests to get us out of the mansion. Vexes look like they aren’t made of flesh, well obviously aren’t made of flesh but what are they? Souls. They are made of souls! Souls glow but do not emit light. Whenever you fight vexes in a dark cave, you’ll notice you can see the vex but nothing else. So the evokers have harnessed the power of the souls and turned them into vexes. Whenever a ves ‘speaks’ you’ll notice you get many soundings. One can be laughing, another screaming but that indicates it’s made of multiple souls. Need more proof? Ok, the evokers are the ONLY mob to drop the totem of undying which literally revives you from the dead! Ok so we’re going to go more in depth on the ‘endermite = silverfish theory’ ok so notice the 2 essential things in the portal room. First (and the most obvious) the portal. As literally has ‘portal’ in the name of the room so it makes sense that there is a portal. And the silverfish spawner. If we’re right on the ancient builders testing it out by sending silverfish, silverfish are ending up in the end which the portal is one way unless you beat the huge flying dragon, which I don’t think isn’t possible by a small thing that only deals one damage and can’t fly. If our theory is right on the builders becoming endermen because of their diet, then it makes sense since chorus fruit is the ONLY food source in the end, that the silverfish would eat it and turn into endermites. More proof you say? Ok how about lets take a look at the bane of arthropods. which is a terrible enchantment considering that spiders are NOT hard to kill. The remaining 2 that the enchantment will strike harder on is, silverfish and endermite. So they are in the same category oh and they are both the same dimensions .3 blocks tall and .4 blocks wide. Now notice how endermen are hostile towards endermites. Now the ancient builders didn’t like the silverfish as they were attacking the builders. Even in the end, they kept that trait and not liked each other.
