A Deep Dive Into My Minecraft Enderman Theory

Summary

This video dives into a detailed Minecraft theory about the origins of Endermen, teleportation, and Ender Pearls. It explores how Endermen, intelligent beings from the End, discovered teleportation through Shulkers and Ender Pearls, creating cities and eventually learning to travel between dimensions using Nether portals. The theory suggests that their attempts to build a larger portal accidentally spawned the Ender Dragon. The video contrasts this theory with MatPat's, highlighting its strengths and unresolved questions, such as the origins of Ender Pearls and the role of Elytra. The creator encourages viewers to join discussions on their Discord server to explore these mysteries further.

Takeaways

• 😀 Endermen were originally intelligent and creative creatures in the End, who discovered teleportation through Ender Pearls.
• 😀 The Endermen used resources from the End, like shulkers, to create cities and develop a portal to the Overworld.
• 😀 Their portal to the Overworld was one-way, and they later learned about Nether portals, which allowed them to return to the End.
• 😀 Blaze powder became essential for Endermen to travel back to the End after discovering it could interact with Nether portals.
• 😀 Endermen built massive structures to protect their portal back home and to farm blaze powder.
• 😀 The Ender Dragon was accidentally spawned when Endermen tried to create a bigger portal, leading to their cycle of death and rebirth.
• 😀 The player's arrival in the game freed the Endermen from their endless cycle.
• 😀 The theory explains key Minecraft mysteries: the origin of teleportation, Ender Pearls, and the construction of strongholds.
• 😀 The theory critiques MatPat's theory by focusing on teleportation as the key element, addressing the source of Ender Pearls.
• 😀 A major issue with the theory is explaining how Endermen built their portal, as the origin of Bedrock and torches remains unclear.
• 😀 The theory speculates that Shulkers don’t drop Ender Pearls in the game, which weakens the teleportation origin theory but is still plausible.
• 😀 Silverfish spawners near the End portal may be a result of a reaction with Eyes of Ender, or a mutated form of Endermites.
• 😀 The purpose of Elytra in the End is questioned, considering Endermen's teleportation abilities, leaving room for further investigation.
• 😀 The creator invites viewers to discuss theories and mysteries on their Discord, encouraging community-driven exploration.

Q & A

What is the main theory proposed in the video regarding the Endermen in Minecraft?

The main theory suggests that Endermen were initially intelligent creatures in the End who discovered teleportation properties through ender pearls and shulkers. They created a portal to the Overworld, but their greed led to an accidental spawning of the Ender Dragon. The theory explains the origins of teleportation and ender pearls in the game.

How does the theory explain the origin of Ender Pearls?

The theory proposes that Endermen discovered the teleportation properties of Ender Pearls through shulkers, which were originally found in the End. The progression from chorus fruit to shulkers to Ender Pearls is presented as evidence that teleportation originated in the End.

What is the key difference between the presented theory and MatPat's theory?

The key difference lies in the perspective: the presented theory uses a 'teleportation-first' perspective, solving the problem of where Ender Pearls come from. MatPat’s theory approaches it from an 'interdimensional-first' perspective, which struggles with the teleportation origins and the Ender Pearl's role.

What are some challenges or weaknesses in the theory proposed by the video?

One of the main challenges is how the Endermen managed to create the portal out of the End, as there is no clear explanation of where materials like bedrock or torches came from. Additionally, the lack of ender pearls being dropped by shulkers in the game is also a minor issue for the theory.

Why is the theory unsure about the creation of the portal by the Endermen?

The theory suggests that the Endermen built their first portal through trial and error, similar to how humans discovered fire. The Endermen didn't fully understand the mechanics, leading to the accidental creation of the Ender Dragon, but the exact details of how they made the portal remain unclear.

How does the theory explain the presence of silverfish near the portal?

The theorist suggests that the silverfish could be a mutated form of Endermites, possibly related to the reaction between the Eyes of Ender and the portal. This is an area the theorist plans to explore further in another video.

What are Endermites, and how do they fit into the theory?

Endermites are theorized to be parasites that grow in shulkers alongside Ender Pearls. The Endermen attack them because of this parasitic relationship, similar to how pea crabs infest oysters in real life.

What is the significance of Elytra in the context of the theory?

The theory raises the question of why Endermen would need Elytra if they could already teleport. While the theory does not provide a concrete answer, it hints that this might require more thought or future exploration.

What does the theorist suggest about the strongholds in Minecraft?

The theorist suggests that the Endermen are responsible for building the strongholds, as they were creating structures to protect their portal back to the End and farm blaze powder. This ties into the theory that they were trying to harness interdimensional travel.

Why does the theorist believe their teleportation-first theory is stronger than MatPat's?

The theorist believes that their teleportation-first theory solves the major issue of where Ender Pearls come from, which is something MatPat’s theory doesn’t address adequately. By focusing on teleportation as the core idea, the theorist feels their theory is more coherent and answers key mysteries of the game.
