I've already said it but I'm still unsure if Withers were that much of a threat in the past

Assuming the loot we get in Nether Fortresses and End Cities were from humans before us, I don't know exactly how they wouldn't be able to defeat a Wither. I can imagine some explanations like Wither's strength in lore not being 1:1 with their in-game strength, older Withers being bigger and harder to kill than what we know currently or even that it was spawned merely by accident which could also mean there were more than one Wither at the time

Honestly, it could be all of these but something still doesn't fully fit in my mind and I can't really point my finger to what's bothering me. I mean, we kinda have some confirmation of Withers being a threat at some point with disc 5 but I don't exactly know if it/they're The Big Bad

I don't know if I can even find the post from Reddit so here's a rundown of some thoughts about The End

• While it's weird that the Ender Dragon doesn't have any teleport-related power even though it shares most of the same pallet and particles of mobs from there Endermen/Endermites/Shulkers, it's possible that the reason why we can only get out of The End dimension by killing them is because its crystals have Ender Eyes, potentially connecting with The End portal

• It's also possible that the reason why the Ender Dragon egg can teleport while the dragon herself can't do it might be because the egg developed or absorbed some of the teleport properties from the End Crystals

• There's a possibility of Enderman being related to Nether portals due to the minimal size of it being the exact measure which a Enderman can fit perfectly along while also sharing the same colors and particles

as a last note, I still hope we can find more discussions of Minecraft lore
