Transcripts
what are the illah Jers doing in that
dank secluded mansion of theirs with its
redstone jails elaborate altars and
hidden rooms housing strange obsidian
structures it really seems like they're
plotting something that is a quote from
Marsh Davies former creative
Communications Manager for Mojang and
his introduction to the evoker mob back
when it was introduced in 2017 it's a
line that is outright challenging us
it's telling us there's something hidden
within the walls of the illah Jers
woodland mansion compound there's a
mystery to be solved out there in those
dark forests one that according to my
research has gone unanswered that entire
time now three years later think I've
done it I think I know what the illage
is are doing out there and more
importantly I think I know what they're
planning let's just say after today's
video you will never look at Minecraft
the same way again
hello Internet welcome to game theory
the most bin jabal show on YouTube for
all those times when you find yourself
inexplicably stuck inside with nothing
else to do
speaking of bin jabal content over the
last year we've been mining for nuggets
of lore to craft together a massive
overarching theory on the story of
Minecraft a link to all those theories
right there in the upper right hand
corner of the screen I recommend
starting with our analysis of the
Enderman as well as this one covering
the origins of the Drowned
civilization here's the thing though up
until this point you as the viewer and
quite honestly me to have been uncertain
what if anything has actually been
planned by the Mojang team working on
Minecraft I mean don't get me wrong I
think we have done some incredible work
piecing together a lore for this game
from the Enderman being the lost
builders to the Drowned being a
civilization rotting away from a massive
flood if the proof has been there in the
gameplay and yet the question has
remained how much of this lore was
intended versus how much of it was just
me Theory crafting by putting together
random details to make a coherent story
today though is different I started this
episode with that quote from Marsh
Davies for a reason it shows that the
developers intended some hidden lore to
exist around the woodland mansions the
illah Jers do indeed have something up
those oversized sleeves of theirs this
time it's not just us over analyzing
things like we normally do it's us
piecing together clues to solve a secret
that has remained hidden in this game
for years and maybe it's been for a good
reason because if I'm right the secret
the illah Jers are hiding takes this
family-friendly game and makes it a much
much darker world we're talking t14 at
least I think the illah Jers are
kidnapping villagers and turning them
into animals through some bizarre magic
and that's not all I think they're going
one step further they're taking those
experiments to try and recreate us now
if you've never been to a woodland
mansion before I don't exactly blame you
the chance of one generating is
extremely low as they only generate in
the rare dark forest biome and even then
only if it fulfills a certain list of
criteria and you're lucky to boot that's
why even with the maps that you could
buy from the cartographer villagers you
still might find yourself trekking for
hours to find the nearest mansion so
it's pretty safe to say that these are
some of the rarest structures in the
game entering the mansion things seem
pretty normal at first then
Hall is pretty much always the same it
has a nice red carpet some stairs and as
you go through you're likely to see lots
of normal-looking rooms ones that appear
to be dining halls libraries little
farms of mushrooms and trees but then
you get to some of the stranger
structures jail cells a room with a
large altar in the middle a room with a
large fake map in the middle a room with
a large fake end portal in the middle
rooms dedicated to large woollen statues
of cats and chickens in the middle
always in the middle it is weird and let
me be clear when I say fake and portals
and fake Maps I mean it these aren't
made from your typical assortment of end
portal frames and lava blocks or paper
and compasses these are made with wool
the fake end portal rooms are filled
with orange wool in the middle in a ring
of green wool above it giving the
appearance of a stronghold end portal
the map is made out of carpet so are the
numerous beds found throughout the
mansion more wool more carpet again it
is weird I say it on a lot of these
episodes but I think in this one it's
hard to deny developers don't just put
fake replicas of an end portal into the
villains hideout for the funsies there
is a reason these structures are here
but to understand why we first need to
understand who the illah Jers are for
those of you who don't know illa jar is
the classification for a group of
hostile mobs in Minecraft united by the
fact that they all share similar
features to normal villagers the illah
Jers consists of magic using of ochres
axe wielding Vindicator x' and crossbows
slinging pillagers
there's also illusion errs who don't
spawn naturally in the game and the
Ravagers which are just the big ol ugly
beasts that the illage ride during the
raids whoo look at that face face only a
mother or I suppose another villager now
it's important to note that the illa
Jura pearance is an arbitrary sure they
look exactly like villagers in need of a
suntan but that is a very intentional
decision it isn't like Mojang just ran
out of ideas for how creatures in this
universe could look no the one bit of
lore that we know about these guys is
that they're exiled
they were booted out of the villagers
villages they're outcasts according to
the Minecraft mob bestiary quote via
Volkers are outcasts from the friendly
villages that we know and love twisted
by their practice of evil and
and again with The Vindicator
description here we go like the Evo kurz
The Vindicator 's were expelled from
villages for its unspeakable activities
and it too wanders the halls of eerie
woodland mansions we do not know what
they're trying to achieve out there in
the woods but we must be on our guard
end quote so again we're teased with
little bits of lore here these are
villagers who are committing unspeakable
acts and were booted out of the towns
for it only to take residents in the
dark woods but we have no idea what all
that is referencing so we come back to
the initial question what were they
doing in the woodland mansions we have
prisons and altars built by the illage
but what was it all for
well what if I told you that the first
and yes there are several but the first
atrocity is that the illah Jers are
kidnapping normal peaceful villagers and
turning them into animals don't believe
me take a closer look at the Ravagers I
mentioned earlier the beasts that the
illage ride into battle look familiar
they should most obviously there's that
signature nose that completely matches a
normal villager okay fine
that would just be an aesthetic choice
but then what about eyebrow Ravagers
have a unibrow just like every other
villager that exists in Minecraft
what makes that similarity stand out all
the more is that both The Vindicator and
the evoke er who we know are former
villagers themselves that were exiled
have themselves to separate angry
eyebrows clearly differentiating them
from every other villager in the game
and yet the ravager shares the unibrow
that the villagers still possess and
what about those green eyes again every
villager has green eyes just like the
eyes of the Ravagers so the features of
the Ravagers face are an exact copy of
the features on a villagers face but to
say that they are a villager seems to be
an extreme jump right it does until you
listen to this that's one of the
Ravagers roars it's this big fearsome
beast that has a little honk honk-honk
at the end of its roar a hog that sounds
kinda like the sounds that a villager
makes when it's speaking in fact a lot
of the Ravager sound effects seem to
have an undertone of honking to it again
listen to those grunts
roars the honking is very clearly worked
into the sounds that the Beast is making
[Music]
suggesting that along with the visuals
this was once an actual villager but to
me the biggest piece of evidence doesn't
come from the game itself but rather
from a tweet sent by Jem chief creative
officer for Minecraft what if the odd
little details about Ravagers was that
when they were first introduced they
were programmed to be scared of rabbits
it was a cute little Easter Egg to have
a giant hulking fearsome beast suddenly
run away from such a cute little animal
the one was first discovered Jeb who
again it bears repeating is one of the
main guys controlling everything
minecraft Jeb tweeted back this I asked
Josh to remove this feature again
although funny being scared of rabbits
doesn't fit with the beasts lore and
cool doesn't fit with the lore ravager
lore is non-existent literally in the
meet the ravager blog post there is
nothing about how these characters fit
into the story the various beasty Ares
and wikis nothing about the lore of
these mobs sure there are stories about
how they were originally conceptualized
what they're based off of but nothing
about the lore as they fit into the
story of Minecraft and yet apparently
the Lord exists enough for the rabbit
scaring it off to somehow throw off that
entire plotline and I think I know why I
think it's because they're made of
villagers and villagers aren't scared of
rabbits to the beasts that they are
turned into by the illage as should n't
them either in short I think that the
prison cells and those sacrificial
looking altar things in the woodland
mansions are used for win of ochres and
Vindicator 's capture villagers to use
in their how did the mob bestiary put it
unspeakable activities i mean between
the magic and the axe those two mobs
should have pretty much everything they
need to convert a villager into a giant
hulking beast
well everything but the power over life
and death that would probably be helpful
if you're trying to create some sort of
weird animal villager hybrid monstrosity
oh wait the illah Jers actually have
that ability too you see Volkers hold
power over life and death considering
that they're the only source of totems
of undying in the game these totems are
special items that allow
the wielder to escape from death and
that my friends is the true plan of
illage sir they might be making beasts
out of illa Jers but I believe that's
only one component of their larger
overarching plan I think that the
unspeakable activities that got them
kicked out of the villages in the first
place are actually them running
experiments trying to harness the powers
of life and death
they are literally playing God I mean
they have totems of undying they are the
only ones to have totems of the undying
and we see that these things work I mean
they certainly managed to keep us alive
plus we know that magic is a real thing
in Minecraft obviously in the game we're
able to enchant weapons and armor using
lapis lazuli so minecraft is making the
case that lapis lazuli has some sort of
mystical power now this isn't a totally
novel idea humans dating back all the
way to ancient Sumeria have also
believed that Lapp has had some sort of
mystical quality the Sumerians believed
that lapis held the souls of gods no
that seems pretty darn relevant
considering where lapis lazuli is hidden
in the woodland mansions well it's not
obvious there is a block of lapis hidden
in the center of the giant wool imager
heads that decorate the entire building
implying there to be this close
connection between illah Jers and this
magical stone I mean in the statues it's
literally right where their brain should
be now I cannot stress enough how bad of
an idea would be to actually inject
lapis lazuli into your head there's
nearly a hundred percent chance of
medical complication and a zero percent
chance of you getting magical powers and
in the Minecraft universe it seems like
the odds are a bit more in your favor
considering the Evoque kurz magical
powers could all of these statues be
implying that a Volkers have lapis
literally implanted into their skulls
thereby giving them their magical
ability is probably not if that were the
case you'd expect them to have some
chance of dropping a shard of lapis or
something the lapis stone being in the
middle of the statues head does imply
that maybe experiments with lapis and
magic were another thing that got these
villagers kicked out and turned into the
exiled illah Jers which brings us back
to their experiments on life and death
because here's the thing I don't think
it stops with just the Ravagers I
believe that there's something far more
sinister and threatening going on in the
woodland mansions that ties together all
of these clues while also explaining
what happened to get the illah Jers
thrown out of
in some rooms in Woodland mansions there
are piles and piles of blue and cyan
wool
okay okay it sounds pretty mundane but
consider the specific coloring of this
wall blue and cyan they're the same
colors as default steve's clothing his
cyan shirt is blue pants i mean there is
really no other reason to have stacks of
blue and cyan wools together in a room
it is such a specific item in such a
specific set of two colors i mean sure
elsewhere in the woodland mansion
imagers use blue wool sometimes as
carpet to make fake beds or maps they
also use yellow and red wool for those
same purposes and we see none of that in
any of the rooms in the woodland mansion
and yet we see rooms dedicated to just
blue and cyan walls they are
specifically Steve colored wool piles
Steve and zombie colored wool piles
remember this is the cult with at least
some control over life and death and in
the Minecraft world we see snowmen built
with two snow blocks we see iron golems
made by creating a tea out of iron and
then plopping a pumpkin head on top of
that now we have ourselves a cult of
illage Arion statues in their homes and
sometimes even in bed lapis lazuli into
him so it's not so much of a stretch to
think that they could maybe stack some
blue and cyan wall together plop a
pumpkin on top and hope to create a new
Steve they see that's where things
probably went terribly wrong in a volker
using a totem of the undying must have
tried to make this lump of wool come to
life only to create something twisted
something twisted and something hungry
the first zombie as the first zombies
came out and started biting villagers
it's probably no surprise that the weird
cultists who created it got booted from
society and ended up settling huge
distances away in dark and mysterious
woodland mansions where they could
continue their experiments in private
and now those same cultists live in
harmony with their creations the illah
Jers now share their mansions with
creepers and skeletons and of course
their own zombified creations be they
built from wool and skeletons be they
built from wool and dead bodies so now
we know why the illah Jers exists what
makes them fundamentally different from
their villager cousins and why the two
populations separated to begin with
they're big evil plot that's been
alluded to by the development team since
their inclusion in the game is to create
their own life create their own version
of Steve using a combination of wool and
magic but in the process it created
zombies they're like the L
brothers of minecraft who knew that it
would take more than a few bits of wool
to make a human and now everyone in the
Minecraft world has to pay a price and
that my friends is the secret of the
woodland mansion but hey that's just a
theory
Oh game theory thanks for watching and
hey while you're here looking for things
to binge since no you're probably not at
work or school watch the other six
episodes that we've done on the
Minecraft lore link is right there on
screen as we speak I'm telling you each
of these theories is awesome there are
some of my favorite theories that we've
ever concocted on this channel
minecraft is shockingly rich in its lore
and there's a lot of stuff here that we
could really gnaw on to try and piece
together the story so check them out let
me know what you think and make sure you
subscribe buttons on screen for that as
well because you know that there's gonna
be more where this came from we're
getting close to putting together that
overarching theory I don't know about
you but I can start to see some big
themes come together across these
theories and I think they are all
telling one story
