The ender dragon has been an unsolved mystery for the last 11 years. On the surface it just seems like a naturally spawning boss, but if you look deeper you begin to uncover a lot of details that point towards a far darker conclusion... a conclusion that this dragon might be a man made robot.

This is a series called Minecraft VVSauce where I explore random features of Minecraft. Not Secret Minecraft things or Minecraft lore (like Game Theory) or Escape Rooms, but a research based series dedicated to over-answering questions you never asked.
it would be interesting to see how this theory plays out lore wise if we ever get an end update
yup
Erm, actually, we already got a End Update 🤓☝️
@@Galaxy_ThePaleKingyou realize how long ago was 1.9?
1.22 will prob hsve it or the skulk dimenison
You’re SOOO funny to think we’d actually get an end update hahaha
The ingame reason that beetroot is in the end cities is because they were added in 1.9 with end cities and they wanted players to have an easy way to get it in old worlds, but I like that you included it in your theory. I didn't know that about beets, that's really interesting.
That's the Doyleist explanation, we're after the Watsonian explanation
idk how easy it is to kill a dragon then traverse voids just to get beetroot
@alexpalaciossantos in old worlds, you would already have enough loot to kill it
That's not an ingame reason, it's the real world reason, an ingame reason for a thing is a reason explained or hinted at within the game
@@kallumhunter3280 That's the lore reason
I like to think the ender dragon's XP can't be absorbed by sculk simply to avoid players turning the entire end island into a deep dark.
Honestly
That may be the reason, but not "in-game reason"
@@Euclase As I said in another comment, sometimes the doylist answer is the correct answer.
@@Euclaseif guardian xp works then the robot theory is proven false.
@@EuclaseThey didn’t have a lore reason..its only there for gameplay purposes.
Very interesting theory! Though one counter point I'd like to make is about what you said at 8:37 about it maybe implying that the world(s) of Minecraft having inherently magical logic properties... It definitely does, we have enchantments, potions, an item that lets you teleport by simply throwing it, we can construct portals to another dimension using nothing but volcanic glass and some fire, and we can create golems with nothing but some iron/snow and a carved pumpkin, so yes the universe of Minecraft has plenty of magical properties Still a cool theory don't get me wrong :)
There is even a runic alphabet unique to Minecraft (For those who don't know runes are letters that create Magic and in Minecraft it's the standard Galactic alphabet. You can see it on end crystal and enchanting table)
@@Seldon08 Maybe I'm misunderstanding you here but the Standard Galactic Alphabet is not "unique to Minecraft". It was created by id Software in the early 90s for their game Commander Keen. It's presence in Minecraft is just an easter egg.
@@themightybalian yeah it's true i didn't know it's also used in quake4 But it's still part of the lore si i think my argument is valid. Thanks for the info
@@Seldon08 oh, for sure. I do agree with your main point. I was just pointing out that the alphabet wasn't created for minecraft

One criticism I have here is that the end crystals are absolutely magical in nature, for two main reasons: 1. The presence of runes on their structure, which would be entirely irrelevant in a technological radiation beam, but make perfect sense for a magical construct. 2. The crafting recipe. End crystals are crafted with ghast tears - used to create regeneration potions. Notably, the crystals are far more potent and long-lasting than mere potions, but I think this simply explains why they are so unstable.
Nice point
69th like NEHEHEHHEHAH
It's both radioactive and magic, probably
End crystal is quite similar to the beacon. The regular beacon emits light and powers us, similarly end crystal projects beam to the ender dragon and gives regeneration. The radiation is the transmission of the soul energy from the end crystal or beacon. In the context of end crystal, the healing ability of the ghast tear is soul energy (potion effect/magic) and transmitted via radiation.
What about the achievement "Free the End"? The wording implies that the ancient builders were trapped and needed freeing as oppose to locking themselves in.
either way if they intentionally did it or not they are still freed arent they?
Well they definitely got freed. They trapped themselves and you, so by killing the dragon you open the portal back up and it technically still frees them since the wither is dead until you spawn it
Why would they need to free themselves from their own creation though? Wouldn't they make it to do their bidding?@@probleEmatic
the armor trim found in the stronghold is made of end stone, to make the armor trim they would need to exit and enter the end, endermen aren’t players because ender pearls can be found in stronghold chests and are required to light the portal, most of game theory’s theories base off the fact ‘tHeY LoOk ThE SaMe’ without actually looking at the evidence against it
@@boney2982You aren’t freeing someone who intentionally locked themselves in..If I went in my room and you opened the door you wouldn’t consider that “freeing” me would you? To free someone or something is to release it from a jail..aka they have to be stuck and they had to of been imprisoned forcefully not willingly. They have to want out.
In Minecraft bedrock, the ender dragon does not circle directly around 0,0 and instead follows her regular flight patterns around the point 0,0 standing in for the exit portal.
We don't talk about bedrock
I don't think we should take differences in the code for something that was unplanned for as meaningful anyways
@@Hawkshadow74exactly
@@turtlesarecoolmost of the player base plays it. We talk about bedrock, even if it’s objectively the worse version, Save for a features. (Coming from a mainly bedrock player)
this makes it infinitely more funny to spawn 7 in on a creative world where someone has built a base at spawn
The issue I have with citing the dragon-skulk behavior is that guardians, which are also seemingly man-made also spread skulk on death.
yeh
Maybe they are a species Tetraodontidae that uses prismarine blocks as their shell, like how a shulker uses purpur blocks as its shell. This is possibly supported by the fact that in earlier versions of Minecraft, if you looked inside of a guardian, you could see a red flesh-like interior inside of them.
Has noone asked why you should be able to magically summon a robot through a ritual?
Doesn't the blaze also expand sculk?
@@enderadon9097 When you kill an iron golem or a snow golem next to a sculk catalyst, their soul is absorbed into the catalyst, yet no sculk spreads. This is possibly due to the fact that golems are not natural life, since you have to build them in order to summon them. Have you noticed that in order to build a golem, iron or snow, you need to place a pumpkin on its head, yet for the iron golem, the pumpkin does not appear on its head? Perhaps the pumpkin is inside of the iron golem, and in the world of Minecraft, pumpkins have a magical life-giving property. However, this doesn't seem to be the case, since when you try to use a normal, uncarved pumpkin to summon an iron or snow golem, they do not spawn, yet when you use a carved pumpkin or jack o' lantern on them, they do summon. Maybe, instead of pumpkins being the key, it is the face on the pumpkin that gives it life, or perhaps both. This is entirely hypothetical, though, and should not be taken as true, concrete evidence until proven otherwise by Mojang.
One thing you could consider: obsidian acts as a stabilizer block, like for holding together a portal to the nether, stabilizing the powers of the enchantment table, beacon, and ender chest, and possibly use as giant stabilizer rods to hold the radioactive end crystals :)
But you only need one block to place a crystal of your own.
@@HumanoidDerpling Exactly, only one block is needed to hold an explosive energy source, which goes to show how powerful it is.
@@arnettefamilyarchives Maybe player-made crystals aren't as powerful as the ones in the end, we don't see this in-game, but it could be possible
@@osinternals Huh, yeah, I guess that makes a fair amount of sense.
Although end crystals could be radioactive, the materials used to make them include a ghast tear, which is also required for the creation of regeneration potions in a brewing stand. This could point to the tears themselves having radioactive properties, or alternatively, that the crystals themselves are not a power source for the dragon, but just a way to heal it. Also, non biological mobs within the game, snow and iron golems for example, can be healed by regeneration potions, proving that artificial creations can be healed through this magic. Following that line of logic, dragon's breath is a required component for creating lingering potions, so it could be that the dragon is an automaton, but one powered through magic rather than basic electricity, and its breath just works similarly to lingering potions of harming. If the tears themselves have radioactive properties, it is possible that the magic used in brewing modifies it so they are capable of exerting a similar effect to the one produced by the crystals on the dragon, instead healing anything. To further complicate the dragon's nature, it is immune to almost all potion effects, meaning it is either constructed in a way that makes it resistant to the magic, or if it is biological, has scales impervious to potion effects. Those are my thoughts, feel free to disprove any of them :)
I think it’s resistant to magic because it has so much coursing through its veins.
Wait... Where do ghast tears come from??? What is a ghast?? Isn't a ghast supposedly lost souls trapped or something?? 👀
@@theautonomous ghasts appear to be a collection of souls crushed together by either the soulsand/soil itself, or the actual environment of the nether
@@royalfelineandtracygrant that makes sense
@@Contextallion have you watched the video by retrogamingnow? If not I highly recommend it. He goes into quite the deep dive about ghasts.
This theory is super cool like always. I do have a question, though. If the pillars are man made, how did the builders get the bedrock for the crystals on top?
How did it get into the shape of a fountain in the middle? (with coal torches on it in a notably human and villager-less world)

I mean.. the dragon's pathfinding isn't any more mechanical than a lot of mobs in this game once you understand them. It may be less random, but it's still altogether a pretty aimless form of movement. And its odd behavior in the overworld can just be attributed to being taken out of the environment it was programmed to be fought in. To use that as evidence for your claim is roughly on the same level as if I were to point out that, because you can technically use glitches to spawn multiple dragons, the entire premise of this video would fall apart - because, ultimately, both simply do not happen in a natural setting. Sometimes the doylist answer is the correct one, y'know.
Yes thank you I made multiple comments on this I'm glad I'm not the only one
Finally, a lore explanation for why there's beetroot in end cities
no there's intentional game design
Based on what you said about the “is it a plane” advancement, would the ghast be a man-made object because of the advancement, “Is it a balloon”
If the theory at the end is correct, what about the end gateways that spawn naturally that take you back to the main end island? Because that would take away the need to destroy the end islands in the end gap
6:28 the arcticle was published in december 2016. The end city was added in the end of 2015 - start of 2016.
One another very notable detail is that the dragon head can be powered by redstone, however its still possible to argue that only the heads are mechanical
Applying electrical current to fresh muscle tissue causes it to move as well, and dragons are notably ageless in most media
Hear me out, the original builders never made it out of the end and they adapted to the end environment. In doing so they got the ability to teleport and became enderman. They used their new powers to get out of the end and now populate each dimension. Their eyesight became worse but they got a new sense and when you look at them they can feel it and they attack you to try and keep you out of the end.
While your theory is nice, it wouldnt make sense with the achievement "free the end", because if they were able to teleport through dimensions, then there wouldn't be anything to free them from
@@luthaidan4232You’re freeing the End for exploration
@@sboy2044 ...
3:46 you do know that's a Superman reference and doesn't at all implies it's a machine, right..?
(1:20) As of my latest knowledge, the chorus fruit in Minecraft does not have the "dragon_immune" tag. That's why it's not on the main end island; the dragon would destroy them all. It'd be like if warped forests could burn, it wouldn't make any lore sense and it'd be like "why did these trees start burning only when I showed up?!"
Love your stuff! I didn't know this fact until I thought of it when you asked, so don't beat yourself up. Also, if the devs wanted them on the main island they'd have just given the chorus fruit the "dragon_immune" tag, so your point still stands.
(3:05) However, as @bobcheesemin4146 mentioned, you did use how they coded it to fly as evidence for it's roboticism. "[It's] kind of hard to hard code it to wander wherever it wants without leaving the main island and not getting stuck or breaking blocks."
Wifies is the type of person to think the ender dragon is a robot.
hey michael, vsauce here

(daxton thinking sounds) hmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I wouldn't really call the central end island and outer end islands as "halves" of a greater whole considering the former is like, way tinier than the latter.
What if the central end island is like a core? Gravitational core to be exact, the core of the whole dimension that keeps the outer islands floating without falling into the void. It's not like earth's inner core(since end's surface is flat unlike earth, so there can't really be inner core inside the island), but more like a.... Saturn's rings? Saturn plays the role of a gravitationally pulling center, and its rings are being pulled close to it, spinning around it as a flat disk. Without the planet, all the cosmic rocks that creates the ring itself will scatter away into the void of space. And I think end might have a similar structure. But with this comes inconsistencies with logic: How the central island is a pulling force if it is much smaller than the outer islands? Is it smaller but much more heavier? If it has alike structure with Saturn's rings, then why the outer islands don't spin around the central island? What is even the end dimension at this point, does it exists in outer space?
Also sorry if my english might be bad, I'm not a native speaker
it has logic, it has obsidian pillars atop are bedrocks and atop are end crystals, and in the middle theire is a portal to return to overworld@@user-cp3le5li1t
This reminds me of a speedrunning video I watched a couple weeks ago, talking about the dragons movement and its perching. Very well made video with tons of effort done.
I like the radiation theory, it also somewhat explains end stone. Flags in space turn white after some time, so the end stone could be cobblestone exposed to radiation for a long time
Well the nether is below the overworld and the end is above the overworld
@@Nicolos117 can you back that up with a source?
or maybe thats how they coded it to fly in the end? kind of hard to hard code it to wander wherever it wants without leaving the main island and not getting wstuck or breaking blocks
Final boss decides to leave the boss arena and prevents game end 💀
Mojang: lets add a final boss! Wifies: *does this* Mojang: Shouldnt have done that
It makes sense item wise, as it can be assumed that they used chorus fruit to create the dragon, giving the dragon it's purple eyes. Additionally, the dragon head item is mechanic and be turned on and off using electrical inputs.
So can human heads,
Piglin heads also do this
Piglin Robot?
Welp boys, wiffies finally went insane.
Muscle tissue also moves when electricity is run through it, it working for the dragon head doesn't prove it's mechanical
To add to the theory of the dragon being man made, the dragon head which spawns on end ships looks identical to the real dragons head and can be activated with redstone, further cementing the theory that the dragon is basically just a reds tone contraption I haven’t finished the video yet so maybe he already said that
Piglin heads also move when powered. Also electrical currents can make muscle tissue in real life move, dead or alive.
I think Jeb once said that the wither and the ender dragon are best friends, and that's why they can't damage each other.
The actual reason beetroot seeds are in the loot chests is because beetroots got added in 1.9 which is the uptade that added the outer end islands and end cities
Mojang: i dont know ill just make the end like this cause why not Wifies: explains whole story
There's another factor supporting Wife's theory about the robot dragon: you can power its head with redstone.
So piglins are robots too?
@@MarioMoss69 well, they could be, who knows? Just like skulk sensors can activate redstone.
@@CaptainGlobPersonal leaves and wood can trigger a redstone signal with observers so are trees robots as there is no visual change for the observer to observe
@@MarioMoss69 a dragon head doesn't activate redstone, the redstone activates it. As for the skulk sensors, they can activate a redstone circuit by itself without the use of other components such as observers or pressure plates.
@@CaptainGlobPersonal have you considered the head flapping to be a goof? Also piglins are not robots as they have children and are clearly related to the pig which is very much not a robot and since we know a living mobs head can be activated by redstone we know this can also apply woth the enderdragon and thus with the info on mob heads we currently know the enderdragon head isnt mechanical and could be having spasm when activated by redstone with redstone signals activating its decayed brain matter letting the deceased mob head move
I love how the glitch of ender dragon pathfinding in the overworld and notch's questionable coding skills led to the creation of fanmade lore so many years later
First, the dragon's flight pattern is merely a result of developers who needed it to stay in a single broad location; second, if the dragon is a robot, where do the dragon heads on the end ships come from? Third, I personally think that the towers and end crystals were an attempt to create a portal to escape the end, because they contain the two elements existing in every other portal: heat and an obscenely hard material. This attempt to escape went wrong because a dragon flew to the island and the 'portal' trapped it in a respawn cycle like what we see with respawn anchors, which show a little nether portal. Fourth, of course the dragon emits light when it dies, it's literally full of fire.
For the dragon heads on the ship. Well they just made extra heads and stuck them there cause their cool of course 😂😂😂
wasn't too sure if I was gonna see another wiftheory video, but I am damn happy he made another. Wifies never disapoints
he does
The end mods are amazing. The end is my favorite dimension, I really hope they update it at some point. The nether rework was so good, hopefully they can do it again.
I just noticed: that shot of the End [ 0:51 ] looks like a real human heart
12:03 the one point that you didn't mention is the only point that intrigues me originally the dragon was the only mob head that could move when used with a redstone block but now the piglin head a obviously organic mob has flapping ears when put on a redstone block and also now all the mob heads can make a sound
Always A great day when wifies uploads a lore video
so true
ive always been curious about the existence of beetroots in the end, my initial theory was that beetroots were brought here by the ancient builders and they attempted to farm them in the end, later finding out that beets just mutilate into chorus, further proving that chests actually have magical preservation properties
If the crystals are radioactive, could Steve punching it be causing them to undergo fission? Also, the idea of the crystals being radioactive does make sense, since iirc the endermen ALSO make Geiger counter noises and their pearls make the eyes of ender needed to make the crystals in the first place.
Cool theory, but I don't know if I agree with it. The end crystals, pillars, dragon and portal all seem to be more on the magic side rather than the man made side. Mojang should really add a "lore" update sometime explaining stuff like this, the origins of the ancient builders, sculk, ect.
Personally, I don't get into "lore" very much because I don't want to think about the lovely fantasy world where I lead a cozy fantasy life having all this dark history. But here's my two (or three) cents: 1. I don't know why all the theorists assume that there can only have been *one* "ancient builder" civilization, which moved from the Overworld to the End. Is there only one human culture in real life? No. And the desert temples look pretty different from the End cities. 2. The theory about it being the Wither and warden that drove the "Builders" to extinction doesn't make any sense, either. As other people have pointed out, if a single player can take on the Wither, why couldn't a whole city of advanced beings? 3. I have a somewhat laughable personal theory: the Minecraft multiverse (which is all worlds and servers) has some sort of karmic cycle of reincarnation. The Overworld is where life is good, the Nether is obviously the Minecraft version of hell, and the End is kind of like purgatory. Endermen, found in all three dimensions, are souls in their original state, being tested. Depending on how they live, souls drift toward "good" entities of the Overworld (dogs being probably at the top, since they can teleport and wear armor) or toward hostile Overworld mobs, then Nether mobs to atone for their sins, then the suffering faces in soul sand if they don't. I don't know how the Ancient Builders would have fit in, but players are souls that have been every other mob, and are the most highly rewarded. We're released from the cycle; we can respawn indefinitely, we have the most agency, and we're not locked into one world either. But who knows, maybe one day we'll become Endermen again and give the wheel another spin...
What’s interesting, is that bedrock is unbreakable, yet there is a fountain like portal in The End that can take people back to the over world. While yes, it’s odd for the dragon head to have a flapping mouth when you move around while wearing it, as well as when you place a red stone source beside it, the pigeon heads have flapping ears with the same mechanics as the dragon head. I never knew the achievement you get when looking at the dragon with a spyglass was an achievement. Also, The Iron Golem is considered to be an ancient robot, especially since he’s the only mob that doesn’t drown in water, but can be effected by potions for some reason? XD Either way, I do like your theory, and I’m excited to see if Matpat picks up on this theory. There were some things in Minecraft that he missed when he talked about The Ender Dragon.
always a good day when wifies uploads
I personally love the idea that the dragon is some kind of god-like being. In my own series of short stories, the dragon has been around long enough that she just wants to mess with people for fun, and although the extent of her powers is unknown, it’s almost certain that she influenced the end of the ancient builders to the endermite plague, creating an army of minions who she could control. (Although none of the characters know this yet)
A shame the actual fight is not only long and boring, but stupidly easy.
@@HumanoidDerplingehhh fair. I think that’s largely because it’s a product of it’s time, but yeah.
@@hyzmarie I don't think you can really make that argument since the dragon fight we know today was released in 2016, and since the older fight was actually harder.
@@HumanoidDerplinghuh. Didn’t know that! I didn’t realize it had changed since 1.9!
Wefies' videos have definitely improved over the years. He used to just use skywars footage for backround. Now he actually uses footage that relates to the video. Great job!!!!
I think this theory is really interesting; however, I would suggest 1 slight change, which is to say that the Ender Dragon is a golem, not a full robot. It’s still basically the same, but we already have golems in Minecraft; a robot is a bit of a stretch.
Tbh, I thought I was the only one that thought the ender dragon was a robot because of the head😂
If the ancient builders were so advanced, why would their first reactions be to hide in the end? I mean they are a civilization who can craft block we can’t. Would it be reasonable to assume they could craft better weapons than us. Also the wither kills almost anything it sees, so it would probably be distracted by other overworld mobs giving the builders time to go somewhere else in the overworld.
maybe wither make scsry sounds too svary for builder bobs so rhey go bye bye babooey
The warden or bedrock wither.
@@ked49If we can kill them single handed then an entire city of more advanced ancient builders shouldn’t of had a problem 😂
as theyr name states, theyr a buildheinn, not a warheinn.
I think end crystals heal the ender dragon because they have ghast tears in them, because as you know regeneration potions are made with ghast tears.
What if the End was supposed to be like some sort of prison, that might also go along to mat Pat theory on how Enderman were formed and why it’s so far away.
Never let this guy be a animator 💀😂
This is the first time I saw Wifies make a lore video… it’s legendary!
He has a lot more.
this is really well thought out, well done
The thing that kinda makes this theory fall apart is that the Ender Dragon drops exp, no other mobs that are mechanical or man-made (Iron golems, Snow Golems) don’t drop exp.
But guardians do,
@@ked49but guardian exp is absorbed by sculk catalysts, right?
@@ked49Likely absorbed from the squids they kill
You and Kenedian should collab
The dragon is like a robot because it technically is, its a programmed ai in the part of a big game, it has certain characteristics because the creator of the dragon made them using java code
all the comments: "always a great day when wifies uploads" oh my god its the npc cycle of every comments section
It’s a really good theory and a nice video. My thought to that: the ancient builders are so much chorus fruit that they became the endermen. A flaw would be how the endermen came to the overworks then but I still like the thought.
roses are red, violets are blue, i liked my own comment, because i wanted to
Theory- all Villagers are vegan, whereas the Pillagers are anti-vegan
another theory for the dragon’s creation: the builders were paranoid that the wither would destroy them so they made the dragon to guard them from the wither, but it backfired and never let them out of the end due to the dragon destroying the portal’s power. this theory is very disprovable because we can somehow activate the portal by killing the dragon
Pretty sure that the actual reason for the 1000-block gap is that the generation changed in 1.9, so Mojang had to do that to prevent older worlds from having the gap while newer ones don't.

You can't spectate the Ender Dragon because it has multiple entities, and it can't die in the void because it can fly back up; it is coded like that. Don't forget that the Ender Dragon was added in Minecraft 1.0.0

Wifies: explains the ender dragon lore in detail Me: kills the ender dragon in 10 seconds using beds
Have to discount the "is it a plane" achievement point, as it's a joint achievement with using a spyglass on a parrot. "Is it a bird? Is it a plane?" Is a reference
Notch: Makes a flight pattern for a boss instead of making a complex AI Wifies: Coincidence? I THINK NOT
3:52 with your same logic Superman is actually a bird mechanical hibrid
HMMM... Its almost like the Ender Dragon is a BOSS FIGHT programmed by the developers for the game, and is programmed differently to fit this very purpose. It can't be damaged by poison or withering, to prevent you from cheesing it. It's immune to the void because (in case you didn't know) there's a lot of void below the end. It flies in formulaic patterns because its literally a boss in a video game made using computer code. It lives on an unnatural island in the middle of the end because that's its boss arena (and the end didn't have any of the outer islands when it was first added). It can be respawned using _magical crystals_ that have nothing to do with technology. Of course the dumb thing isn't a robot. Its A DRAGON BOSS FIGHT in a game with magic and fantasy elements. Even the golems (the most definitive of robot mobs) are more magic then technology. The simplest answers are usually the correct ones. Its a boss and you're not supposed to take every little thing it does literally. That would be like saying Villagers are robots because they have specific pathfinding and will automatically walk towards job blocks and beds. I get that this theory is probably just for fun, but it holds pretty much no merit. And don't even get me started on all the radiation and beetroot stuff... Just... ugh. I'm sorry, this is dumb. 🤦♂ MAYBE MINECRAFT IS ALL A SIMULATION...😱
i love all his breakdowns. super fascinating.
Also I think that Steve is either a god or a is given God like powers from the gods because whenever we "beat" Minecraft the gods we talk to in the end credits are kinda surprised we can hear them.
Really cool theory man! You said that end portal frames are made from end stone, and that the builders couldn't have gotten end stone without going to the end first. Maybe the endermen have something to do with this. Maybe the three dimensions lived in harmony, or at least didn't fight each other before the wither incident? It would explain why we find ruined nether portals and non functional end portals. It also would explain why endermen are generally neutral. It could be that when the builders constructed the wither, due to it requiring wither skeleton skulls, it damaged their connection to the nether, which is why almost everything is hostile. Then as the wither ravaged everything it destroyed the nether portals and forced the builders to enter the end using the help of the endermen.
Please do more of these!!
So good to see you back
This changes so much of how I see the lore as a whole. Then again, as most Minecraft fans would know, the End & its features are severely outdated (Ex: maybe it was not possible at the time to animate the dragon laying the egg). Hopefully, Mojang would retcon, or better yet, reinforce your theory whenever the End gets its much much needed revamp.
I always tought that the end is similar to a gigantic hive. The enderman are the worker bees, they can go to other dimension and pick up block like bees harvest honey. The queen would be Jean? (The enderdragon) And the endermite would be parasite hence why enderman kill them. End cities are guarded by shulker because they are reserve of what enderman collect and are the most precious things in the end. The queen bee (enderdragon) would guard the entrance/exit of the hive. But that's just some similarities i've found
My guy really brought us an article on why beetroot has antirradiation effect.
Imagine working at mojang and being in charge of lore, that would be the sickest thing ever
this theory is actually crazy intresting it legit gave me goosebumps
wait, the dragon fades into dust, and drops a valuable object? The ender dragon is a long legs confirmed
1:46 Wifies: [Killing the Ender Dragon] is the most significant achievement you can make in Minecraft SB737:
You know it's a good day when Wifies uploads
If you factor in the achievement “Free the End” when you kill the dragon, I think it’s much more likely that the ancient players built the dragon (for whatever reason), but it ended up turning on them and wiping them out. Afterwards, without the ancients in the way, the End dimension would be subject to the dragon’s rule.
About the end portal block: while hiding in strongholds they might have been trying to create or find some safe dimension trying to build some portal because as far as I know, they knew about nether first which would mean they would know about possibilities of making portals. So they experimented with different kinds of block combinations until something worked. They arrived in the end where they found completely new material: the endstone and started to work on optimalization of the portal because endstone seemed to be somehow special and had some atributes we as a player don't realize.
5:25 maybe its soul energy Think about how you need a ghast tear to make it.
Wifies is the smartest Minecraft youtuber i wouldn’t be surprised if he went to gamer harvard
Something intresting of note: the end portal blocks not only have endstone, but a sculk-like color on top

Cool theory however I like to just believe that the dragon is being trapped by the end crystals. Yes the beams sometimes never touch it if it flies in certain spots but for the most part it's always connected. The dragon also can't destroy the obsidian pillars or crystals but can destroy the end stone. Maybe the dragon destroyed the outer end and they manage to trap there. If you wanna keep ripping on the builders for being idiots maybe they accidentally made the wither, had to flee and made/found the warden to protect them. The they decided to go on the offensive and made the ender dragons from ender men and phantoms. The dragon wiped out the withers however it also went rampaging and when killed it's incredible and unnatural life force opened a portal to the ender men's home dimension. With the overworld being ransacked by the dragons the builders fled into the end dimension and closed the portal by trapping a new baby dragon at the portal so once it dies of old age the overworld should be free of dragons. Those dragons who once terrorised the overworld are the fossils you can fine millennia after. While the chorus fruit are the builders, corrupted by years of end energy. That's why there are none on the centre island, they never planned on returning until after the dragon died...but they lost their life first. Dunno how the egg fits into this though, maybe the dragons don't die but are like the immortal jelly fish and just revert back to their egg stage to regrow. I mean- to beat the embodiment of death you need to be able cheat death first.
where is the mini-theory video about the end portal frames? It didn't seem to be on your second channel when I checked
I would just like to also add- where do dragon heads come from?
Can't wait to see "Whats is Wifies"!!
