#Minecraft dungeons lore theory

[odiabonecessario]

What or who is Ender? Assuming the Orb of Dominance is the "sealed" form of the heart of Ender and everything related to The End has the Ender prefix and the full blown form of the Orb of Dominance is... well, this

or even this

yet it's only its heart, what kind of being/entity or even incomprehensible force is the Ender?

[nickpeppermint]

New baby Ghast was added, and they're super adorable!!!

But now i wonder if the baby Ghasts from Minecraft Dungeons are not canon anymore, or maybe they're translucent only in the newborn stage, and the rehydrated ones are more like toddlers? 🤔

@illwilledomen had pitched this idea to me on insta a little while back, so here’s my personal interpretation on some of the Enderlings! The concept art for this isn’t the best but I think people would see the vision.

Lore, warning badly written, I’ll get back to it later.

The endermen were the first, and therefore act as a kind of umbrella species to the other end-humanoids.

The enderlings are a subcategory of what is known as a secondary enderman. A secondary enderman is a humanoid that did not originate from a human person, meaning they were born an enderman, not made one. Even if they originally appeared human, they were always biologically intended to appear the way they do now, were born in the end, and have completely adjusted to the environment within the dimension. Meaning they can for an example sustain high radiation levels without any long term damage.

There are different types of secondary endermen, but the enderlings specifically mark a time within history where thought to have been long lost gods returned to their people.

The hosts eventually grew bored of watching their creations. No longer did they start wars or build funny creatures, they just sat around doing nothing. Sometimes one or two of them would break down, but such a thing wasn’t interesting.

The Testificates were unlike the artisans had been. They didn't start wars, the people of the cult tried to, sometimes, but their most powerful people preferred to reside within mansions too far from civilization to cause any real trouble. And they had no plans on letting the old artisans out of their celestial time out corner just yet.

So they decided to see what would happen to the increasingly desperate becoming, hopelessly religious grouping of former protectors would they give them children that were, to them, objectively disturbing to look at. The concept had been funny to them.

They were gods, they didn't understand the concept of human suffering, or the moral and ethical implications of splitting the human race into multiples whilst they believed they were living through their darkest hour, it was all just play. Like watching a show that had gotten so boring overtime they wished for conflict.

Atleast that’s what scholars think.

The enderlings are deformed humans, biologically. It might’ve been radiation, it might’ve been some Devine beings doing, whatever one chooses to believe. They’re a hypothetical species that hasn’t been sighted in over two millennia, we only have verbal accounts to go off of.

I hadn’t thought of the enderlings much in terms of Ancient Ruins before so this interpretation was a little harder than usual. The species is now largely extinct, but other secondary Endermen still exist, I also feel it is important to mention that there are different types of endersent! This isn’t every single one, it’s just the one that fits this biological niche.

If you have any questions ask me, I’ll try my best to answer.

Posted this to bluesky, time to post this here too! and with luck I'll have more to post in the future, but for now, here's an ender angel, concept by @witherking001

Ghasts, Baby Ghasts, & Ghastlings!

Such mysterious creatures float about in the Nether. Some of them drying up as juveniles. But what are they and how exactly do they work? It's time to answer this question in some rather unconventional ways!

I helped work on this video and I even made a small cameo towards the end! This is really fun one with some interesting ideas, so come support us! :3

Minecraft theory(?)/lore(?) post: Ender corruption in the Overworld vs. Nether - a looooooong post.

In Minecraft Dungeons' Overworld DLC levels, we see the Orb of Dominance's shards corrupt various islands' environments, creating hostile mobs out of plant life (jungle awakens and hidden depths' plant mobs)...

changing the climate (creeping winter - "A creeping winter spreads across the land, consuming everything it touches")...

empowering and/or corrupting mobs (creeping winter's Wretched Wraith, Hidden Depths' Ancient Guardian, Howling Peaks' Tempest Golem)....

These are abilities we can chalk up to End magic from the Orb.

However, in the Nether, it's completely different in both vanilla and MCD. In Warped Forests where only Endermen live, Fungi go from red to blue, inverting their colors, much like Enderlings' vision. Vines stop growing from the ceiling, and instead sprout from the floor, in the same shape as the native chorus vines of the End rather than based on the weeping vines.

Fungal root growths gain circular bulbs, which in Minecraft Dungeons glow - in fact, so much more things start glowing than in comparison to the crimson forest, reminiscent of the End's glowing plants.

And fungi that explode if pressed too hard, with poisonous properties, start growing.

And in Minecraft Legends, the warped fungi all completely glow, and there are other species of warped fungi that explode, carried by Seekers and Sporebacks!

So since we know how/why/when (when the orb shattered) for the Overworld, the questions remain for the Nether: HOW, WHEN, and WHY THE DIFFERENCE?

HOW and WHEN can be chalked up to one simple artifact, which we know has been in the Nether at some point in time.

Of course, it's the Orb of Dominance itself. In Minecraft Legends, we see it in the possession of the Seer.

So its presence in the Nether corrupted Crimson forests into Warped Forests just as it corrupted the Overworld, right?

Well, yes. But it must have happened eons ago, as Warped forests already exist, and an entire horde/tribe of Piglins already resides in one such forest, already being an entire subspecies, with boils, warts and colored patches on pale skin.

So we can assume the Orb arrived long, long ago - even longer ago than how long ago the Overworld-Piglin War takes place.

So... WHY THE DIFFERENCE between the Overworld and Nether Corruption?

Well, the Overworld's case was individual shards - fragments of this broken entity, while in the Nether's case it was the entire Orb.

Adding onto this, the shards likely only had enough power to corrupt mobs (except the Wretched Wraith's shard, which manipulated the entire climate of the island, which we can chalk up to the fact that it's a larger shard, seen on its head, versus the other shards we see.

Meanwhile, the entire orb entering the Nether meant that it could corrupt the biome down to the blocks, making them teal, changing plant structure (warped vs twisting vines and vanilla's 1-block crimson vs warped fungi), and in some depictions various fungi have glowing spots (MCD) or the shroom caps glow entirely (MCL).

An extra addition: Why are there multiple warped forests across the Nether, then?

Well, the Endermen that came along with the Orb must take their cuboid master from place to place, right?

So there's our reasoning. I hope you liked this theory - posit any questions or add anything else in reblogs or comments if you want!

How the nether came to be

Dinosaurs > ice age > high society > post apocalypse/global warming

I do not care for Minecraft Dungeons.

Some of you guys focus way too much on Minecraft Dungeons rather than Vanilla Minecraft and it annoys me (As in term of lore, not the games). I'm sorry but most of the Dungeons fans I've seen make the Heroes/ABs nothing burgers while they're in fact, an important part of the lore too.

Prismarine has more… cosmic origins, it seems. The Well of Fate, an ancient and primordial spring seen in Minecraft Legends, is a structure heavily linked to prismarine. Within the Well's gates (which seem to lead to another dimension), lie the Hosts of Knowledge, Action, and Foresight.

Beings described to be the "caretakers" of the early Overworld. Not gods which seems to indicate higher beings above them. Essentially, this was their base of operations in which it was said in legend to have brought life to the Overworld. Think of it almost like magically terraforming the dimension for the whims of higher beings, I guess. This structure is notably made almost entirely of prismarine with the "dimension" within having even more of it!

The Well of Fate has major effects on the Overworld, of course. Surrounding the structure, you can find "anomalous rock formations" within its lands.

Not only that, but magical stones called "regeneration stones" have popped up in the world which is very heavily implied to have been caused by the magic of the Well of Fate.

In Minecraft Dungeons, prismarine can be found within the deep sea. The corals seem to be able to form the material. Coral-like structures made of prismarine can be spotted among the normal, living corals.

Perhaps the magic of the Well (whether just lingering or still present remains to be seen) has allowed for prismarine to form in the Overworld semi-naturally. Just like the regeneration stones of Legends!

Random Question for Minecraft Lore Masters:

Where does prismarine come from? Like obviously from Ocean Monuments, but I mean where in the natural world? I know that it drops from guardians and elder guardians, but from what I’ve heard those are robots built by the same civilization that built the Ocean Monuments. So where does it come from? As far as I know, it’s one of the few blocks that doesn’t come from either nature or a biological mob. I realize this is extremely niche, but I really want to know.

hi @misticalnova , thank you for the long ask you sent me i genuinely appreciate it! but in all honesty you have me sweating BUCKETS with how close your analyses are, so i hope you dont mind me cutting some parts of your message out for now (o_o ;;)

and SAME, TCD scar has been stuck in my head since the first time ive found out about it. i have yet to finish it but its so good and TCD Scar is so interesting to me.

one thing i did regret with the first part was that i didnt add much info about the hermitopia games as i shouldve, such as the lore and the characters. i do plan on writing about this on the next part! out of all the games, even "the life game," i'd say hermitopia is the minecraft game of their world, just with realistic Triple A game graphics. maybe the easiest way to explain hermitopia is if skyrim had minecraft dungeons + minecraft legends lore, and it's a bit sillier.

okay gria organizing an unofficial voice cast and then hating the final VA for scar is so funny. in my head hermitopia is a triple A game, which means it should have voice actors, but since the pokemon games exist and they dont have voice acting im just gonna go with the characters having something like undertale voice beeps LOL which FITS because i think hermitopia is a pretty old game if it had 8 games in the franchise. like, elder scrolls 1 was released in 1994 and skyrim, their 5th game, was released in 2011. pretty crazy to think about. and maybe this is the only thing about hermitopia that mumbo, a diehard fan, constantly complains about. also, yes. i want gria to be the messiest person in the fandom. please let me canonize that thank you

again, nova has written a lot more things that are like 80% almost correct so im cutting it out because i got nervous. (nova, please keep it between us please) lol but seriously, thank you so much for sending me your theories because it genuinely made me smile so hard. thank you for showing this much interest !!!

i'm really touched with this ask, so have this small sketch of grian before all the trauma

[plural-void]

GO FOR IT !! ^_^ -c

laughs so evilly ( under cut because ik itll be long )

OKAY so im gonna assume you dont know anything about qsmp so pretty much its a multilingual minecraft server which had 4 languages ( english , spanish , portuguese ( br ) , and french ( technically korean and german too but they were really close to when the server ended so )

the ones i am most enamored eith are the french ( and also badboyhalo )

they are fucking creatures odd things wonderful world

right now i want to yap about ANTOINE my stupid little loser freak weirdo who i love very much , hes pretty much disguised as a human but ( in my head , idk if theres really a confirmed species or whatever ) hes pretty much just a void black inky mass with tentacles because why not ( but he pretends to be human . very badly )

this is literally his mc skin

and heres my interpretation of him ( fans make him really cool lol )

anyways so theres this government called the federation run by a white bear ( antoine is obsessed with said white bears ass and has a photo album of his ass photos ) named cucurucho , he essentially is the face of the " qsmp census bureau " and is a high ranking worker but very much not at the top , because antoine is above him . also theres more than one cucurucho but more on that later . antoine doesn't really work for the federation , more like with , he apparently was some sort of scientist but his experiments sucked ass , but that was a long time ago and now hes found himself on the island again ( pretty much theyre all trapped on an island ) and he seems to not align exactly with the federations goals anymore

what makes this even more interesting is that two of the other french players , aypierre and baghera , were both experimented on in some way , baghera ( along with jaiden ) were both raised by the federation as avian hybrids while aypierre had some sort of surgery ( he had a past with the federation with his wine business , something something then the federation wanted info from him then wiped his memory after they tortured it out of him iirc )

and , since antoine did experiments theres a chance that he experimented on them or was involved somehow - but its mentioned that his experiments failed so maybe not

ive been watching antoines vods ( partially to help learn french , partially for the lore ) and pretty much i noticed something , so in the " times up " event where 8 new players were introduced there was a dungeon that contained a book -

he theorized how this person likely " discarded everyone who was not perfect " but i wonder how much of that is theory vs how much he actually knows ? theres a cucurucho named osito ( it wss either that or ourson ) who seems to be almost friendly with antoine , but is very much below him ( they talked after a comic was discovered , antoine said they were getting sloppy ) but i was wondering if this was potentially ourson writing this ? maybe cucuruchos are formerly normal federation workers and this was him as a worker ? but theres a good chance he knows who wrote this book

the comic btw , its assumed that someone there is antoine , i assume its the black hand , maybe some federation worker working with antoine in some way , but im not sure

uhh thats about all i can think of but this guy makes me insannnrreeejhrhjfkfkrjsndkfirhfhjfjjfdyydhhdhd

palia characters playing minecraft hcs

hopefully i got everyone but if not please do tell me 🙏

jel: spends most of his time dyeing armour and designing banners, has really efficient redstone farms set up to that end that everyone mooches off

tish: builds and decorates the most beautiful elaborate houses in the server. knows every building trick in the book. built the main lobby mostly by herself

reth: thought he was a genius when he first figured out the recipe for cake. never looks up anything and insists on discovering all the food himself

hodari: always deep in a cave somewhere with stacks of shulker boxes (courtesy of najuma). supplies the entire server, trades with tish a lot

najuma: in the nether within an hour, working towards an elytra. spends most of her time there and has an insane base

auni: goes exploring so far the only way he ever gets home is by dying and respawning in the lobby. keep inventory was enabled for him

badruu & delaila: too busy to play rip. their tech goes to auni and nai'o anyway

nai'o: built the farm empire of his dreams, but entirely without redstone so he never has time for anything else lol

kenyatta: plays during her shifts at city hall. helps najuma in the nether. hates that she organises her inventory so well

eshe: doesn't play. kicked everyone from the last server so they restarted without her

kenli: owns the server, logs in sometimes but always manages to ruin someone's project so he doesn't play as much as he'd like

einar: fishes 24/7. what can i say

hassian: lives in a dirt hut and is entirely content with that. spends most of his time taming wolves

sifuu: enchants everyone's armour, weapons and tools. sickass base. hunts for rare spawns

caleri: has a library where she manually documents every book she protects irl as a minecraft book

elouisa: dead-set on finding herobrine. subscribes to every conspiracy theory about the origins of mobs and dimensions

jina: invested in the lore. plays story mode because the usual game is too boring for her

hekla: watches over jina's shoulder and offers suggestions

chayne: doesn't own any tech

ashura: rebuilt the ormuu's horn in the lobby. kinda just enjoys the game and being online with people instead of gunning for anything in particular, but he does fish

zeki: set up a villager farm asap. its the main hub of activity in the lobby. pretty much has every farm possible going actually. charges for use so the others built their own

tamala: essentially lives the life of a minecraft witch. kicked a real one out of a hut and made it her own. set up a dungeon mob farm underneath

Thinking about the fact that the Piglin Housing units are by far the most visibly destroyed.

Comparatively the treasure room has barely been touched.

The damage is intense, especially considering the basalt was put there to stuff the holes up enough for the structure to remain livable.

I think it’s insane that some people are still villainizing the piglin to the extent they are, legends is a legend, the game clearly implies a role reversal if anything.

They wouldn’t feel the need to ghast-bomb the shit out of another species’ housing units while deliberately avoiding their netherite stash if they’re acting in self defense.

The nether fortresses are barely even scratched, the damage is minor and could easily be from erosion or a little withering. They were the ones doing the attacking.

The overworld had the upper hand in the nether war. The heroes weren’t acting in self defense or protecting their dimension, they were just invaders using the villagers lack of experience to spin a story, I think vanilla Minecraft makes that very clear in the environmental storytelling.

[minecraftauspice]

you said something about of deity  from other dimensions i have a theory one might be the Heart of Ender as a deity of the end? and i love you work and your art style.

I’m actually somewhat undecided, however I don’t think the Orb of Dominance/Heart of Ender will be in any place of power during Auspice. Minecraft Dungeons and Legends lore will be somewhat minced in the Auspice AU so I can fit pieces together properly.

late night qsmp thoughts under the cut

gonna call the third cucurucho Emorucho bc it’s funny (also i think all cucuruchos are kinda evil)

headcanon that since minecraft days go by so fast, the cubitos don’t need to sleep as much, but when they do, they go into deep sleep (to explain when they don’t log on for awhile lol, i kinda liked how fit referred to him being gone as a deep sleep, really cool concept)

fits lack of memories kinda makes me question if he did something bad and it got wiped (which is kinda relevant with mike’s animosity towards him)

with the possibility of new portals and new dimensions, it made me think back to the “New Door Opens” teaser they did after the timer dungeon, this is probably what they were referring too?

the new doors opening, the Carre rescue mission (where they entered a weird dimension thing), the black concrete and the eggs signs communicating and ElQuackity’s multiple worlds loading screen all align to the possibility of multiple worlds and/or islands

some ppl have pointed out in the past that q!Quackity acts like he’s multiple different other quackities (k!quackity, c!quackity maybe?) after he got dunked into the water. could have to with the multiple dimensions as well? Maybe this is the same thing that’s happening to Mike?

Could server rollbacks have some lore implications even though it’s more meta?

Why did Bad only get a slap on the wrist? his existence in the island as a Demon who seems to remember more of his past compared to the rest of the cubitos is maybe relevant to why he’s there in the first place. The special guest theory is really growing stronger and stronger by the day. And how is him being the Grim Reaper relevant to the lore and to the lack of permanent deaths in the island?
