thinking about how shulkers would look (rambling under the cut)

shulkers are used for both transportation, communication, and storage, as well as just being pets. they like to hoard and will protect anything theyve collected as fiercely as their little gross isopod bodies can, so people have taken to using them like safes and giving them small valuables to keep an eye on. they only let their owners add to or take from their collection. their little projectiles still have the floating effect like in minecraft, which is where theyre used for transportation like helping end ships stay afloat or floating people up long vertical passageways like a fucked up elevator, but those projectiles can also be used to send messages between each other. theyre like funky messenger pigeons!! most endermen name their shulkers after themselves in some way so its easier for the message to find the right person, since shulkers have a sort of hivemind telepathic communication situation going on. (ozy would say "tell aurulent he smells like rotten fruit and looks like an old shoe" and ozyrus jr would send the message to aurulent the shulker). messages are received by the owners by making direct eye contact with the shulker also some people eat them like seafood <3 ozy refuses to because he loves his weird gross bug clam and thinks his shulker is the CUTEST one to EVER exist (jackie does NOT agree)

We enders live just a smidge longer than you and age a lot slower around the 200 mark. A lot of our history used to be told by the older folks, as they retain knowledge of the world before us. But, we started etching our history into tablets and scrolls. Stories any can remember, are demanded to be recorded for the next generation.

OC designs for the creatures of the End!!

all ender creatures generally wear a lot of loose/modest clothing, since they value their privacy and dislike being perceived by others.

their knowledge in magic and science is far more advanced than any other civilization, therefore endermen often act as messengers, warning non-ender creatures about potential danger.

Shulker Bullets

lowkey one of my favorite projectiles an enemy has lobbed at me. its so unique

[minecraftheadcanons]

the reason that shulkers can carry stuff around while chests can’t is because shulker shells have the same levitation magic as live shulkers, meaning no matter how full a box actually is, it only weighs a few pounds

Minecraft end biome food WIP that I’ll hopefully have finished soon.

Desc: An uncoloured sketch of a plate containing food. From left to right, and up to down: Fried Ender Dragon Egg, Oyster-style Shulker, Chorus fruit slices and Chorus plant stems. Below this is a partially coloured sketched of a chorus fruit and chorus fruit slices. The words on the page say “Chorus Fruit, End Biome”.

Shulklers –> (Hardcore) Minecraft –> The Extinction (+marked by Vast.)

shulkers from minecraft (hardcore mode) are avatars of the extinction! (+ marked by the vast)

[lynnbecks-gaming-sideblog]

Headcanon: Shulker shells are made out of naturally-formed Purpur, similar to how the shells of certain molluscs such as Chitons and Scaly-Foot Snails are made at least partially out of aragonite and (in the case of the latter) iron.

MINECRAFT WORLD-BUILDING: THE END

Enderman design: inspired by neytirix

thing you may notice I did: all end-species are invertebrates. The exception to all that is the ender dragon, which actually originated from the Overworld (it is reptilian and a vertebrate) however it has evolved over time to become the apex predator of The End!

May do this again soon with pillagers + woodland mansions!

Shulk | ⬤OO [Game-play impact: low]

Related to the Shulkers, the Shulk's squishy body is outfitted with an articulate exo-skeletal shell. This provides natural protection at the expense of unwieldy limbs. Using their claws, the Shulk can drill through natural stone without the need for pickaxe. Shulks have access to a soul-bound hammer-space which can hold a handful of items. Shulks are known for their large appetites. I dont know why it took me so long to post this, wtf.

1.21 is looking fire, but 1.22 has got to be an End update.

Minecraft has always had really good lore and story-telling, but does anyone else feel like the End is just missing something?

It's to be expected, it hasn't been updated for the last 7 years and the last update added more questions than answers. I feel like it's just on the cusp of being as clear as the rest of the game.

It's a dimension that's supposed to feel off, and uncanny. Literally the only track that plays is 15 minutes of warped mash-ups of Overworld tracks. End stone is just inverted Cobblestone.. etc. But even then it's still wrong.

I just have to know, Minecraft lore is built off of head canons but I'm just unable to form one that makes sense regarding the End. Endermen make sense, I believe they're warped and "evolved" humans. Eating only chorus makes them teleport, their long arms and bodies to reach the high snaking chorus plants, their larger eyes to see in perpetual darkness, etc. Their aversion to water is a wrench in that but I'm not perfect and my head canon isn't right. Endermen could have nothing to do with humans.

Shulkers and End Cities are what confounds me. Are Shulkers natural living organisms? The Dragon and Ender-men both have black skin and dark purple eyes but this thing has yellow skin and an almost magenta shell. I think they're some sort of automatons, but built by who? The ancient builders, the ones who evolved into Endermen? But the spiral staircases in the End Cities don't seem designed for humans (or maybe I just suck at climbing them) and the ceilings aren't really high enough for Endermen. Maybe Shulkers are another protector mob of their area. But protecting what? Protecting the means of personal flight maybe, but that looks nothing like the rest of the end - its literally made from the wings of the Phantoms of the Overworld.

End Cities themselves do kind of make sense to me, their architecture mimics the branches of a chorus plant. But whilst chorus seems to be the only natural thing in the End, the cities very much aren't. There's no way that structure would work under normal gravity. But surely the End just has weak gravity? Nope, it's the same as the Overworld.

Everything in the End just feels so artificial. The central island; with Obsidian pillars punching through the whole thing, a material that can only be made using 2 fluids that don't exist in the End, topped with a crystal made partially from the tears of a creature in another dimension and some sort of Eye which we can only make by killing an Enderman and fusing it's remains with the ground up remains of another creature from said other dimension. Also, it is so far away from the rest of the End, as if someone destroyed or moved these other islands away. The Dragon itself to, she works like no other mob. People say that she's a machine which I don't agree with, her erratic behaviour is because she is the only mob of her type and hasn't been updated like ever. I don't think she's native to the End though; Endermen, the only other creature in existence that looks like her, can be hostile to her.

Trying to piece this together as I'm writing this is making me think of a new head canon: The End is just a melting pot of travellers who got lost and stuck. Think of something like the Void from the Loki show. I think the End was initially just a mass of floating islands with the chorus fruit, in the Void between dimensions. Then the ancient builders arrived, constructing the obsidian pillars and the bedrock portal frame. I think they found something, maybe it could be whatever made the End Cities. But regardless, something dangerous. Something that made them separate the only way out of the dimension by several kilometres of Void, that made them create a Dragon to guard said way out. Something that made them sacrifice themselves by sealing themselves into the End.

There are a few holes in this. Maybe the ancient builders did build the End Cities before/after becoming Endermen. Maybe the danger was the Dragon, but why would it guard the exit portal? And I've kind of ignored the fact that Endstone is inverted Cobblestone, maybe the whole dimension if artificial? Built by the ancient builders entirely? Or maybe the End was spawned from ancient humanities collective mind, like a sort of yin to their yang.

I would love an End update to add a few things. I don't like most popular ideas or mods for an End update, as they often stray too far from what the End is. I would like to be able to find whatever gravity-defying sentient race built the End Cities, maybe they could also be warped into Endermen like the ancient builders were - but could still have a sense of self and humanity, or maybe they're some sort of Phantom People. I would like to find this danger that caused the ancient builders to sacrifice themselves, a new huge boss at the edge of the End would be awesome. I would also like, if they made them less annoying that is, for Phantoms to spawn in the End just normally. They feed on Insomnia right? What's more insomniac then an entire dimension where it's always night and nothing can sleep?

I would also like purple chorus wood lol.
