I know right
Mojang: but we are not for some reason
Devicenotfound Device minecraft is a kids game where YOU is supposed to write YOUR OWN LORE they alredy made a game with lore calles STORY MODE. If they do make lore for the game and declare that is how it is then i will officialy shoot the decision maker. No lore what so ever
Zaponium ' it’s a joke, about how their is indeed lore hidden in the background, but matpat is so good at theorizing about it that they might as well let him write the lore
Yes

My theory: Piglins and the ancient civilization were once allies, they went in the nether and met each other. At first they weren't aggressive, so they made a truce, piglins provide protection, and they build the bastions for them, but one critical mistake was made. The builders brought a zombie virus with them into the nether and they zombified the piglins, making them incredibly angry at them for obvious reasons, so they became hostile and hate the wither skeletons for obvious reasons. Nowadays piglins are desperate for gold because they think it may stop the virus, think about it, gold is obviously magical it cures villagers and makes golden food, so the piglins saw how the civilization used this and they use it in the hopes it will cure their race, with the ruined bastions being all they have left they use them to protect their sacred gold.

Fun fact: nether wart grows on soul sand so the pigman kinda eat souls and start 2 think like human, (holding swords and standing on 2 legs)
That’s exactly what I thought, it would also make sense that they hold a grudge against Wither skeletons as those skeletons are most likely their bodies which are walking around. If my soul was split from my body but my body was still walking around attacking people, I’d want to kill my old body too, especially seeing as I now get to be a cool pig guy

Yes
He could be hiding a secret message throughout his Minecraft videos because he also said creepers are approximately 3 blocks in one of his other videos.
So you telling me that there gold swords last centuries but mine barely lasts 10 minutes
Bruh moment
If the Nether-Fortresses Structure and Spawn-Conditions Matter, well: Then look at the Blazes! They only spawn there and they dont even just normally spawn there like Wither-Skeletons, but no, they have their own Spawner. There must be a reason for that. They could be an Alarm-System - yet they are always agressive towards the player and can never ever be tamed. So?
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, but if not then it's because you're using the sword. It you are then I'm just an idiot, sorry.
Hahaha same
YEAH WHERES THE JUSTICE!?
Theory. Perhaps the soul sand the pigs were buried on held the souls of the ancient builders. That’s why they are bipedal because the souls of the ancient builders went into the pigs, which could also explain how they know how to hold swords
He's covered wither skeletons, and now zombie piglins (and somewhat native piglins). Hoping for a blaze theory next. I think blazes are like the guardians in that they're robotic sentries, and with how their breathing sounds very dry but humanlike, they could be powered by souls. 😐 I got nothing on ghasts though.
Yeah what the heck with Ghasts

Matpat: “netherwart is the only crop that can survive such a hostile landscape.” Mushroom: “am i a joke to you?”
Well Netherwart/Netherstalk is compared to a mushroom in real life that's very similar which means he seemed to be implying that Netherstalk could be another type of Nether evolved mushroom.
Don't you think the pigs sould have tried to eat the normal mushrooms then before they turned into netherwart as thats where I asume it comes from. Why dont we have oink shrooms the way we have mooshrooms?

Even if there is no actual lore, it's still fun to believe it's cannon it makes a simple game about building feel so much bigger and cooler.
Theory: Since netherwart grows on soul sand, the Pigmen are partly eating souls. Since souls are kinda like ghosts and they used to be human, the tiny bit of conciousness left could be how the Pigmen have telepathy.
Maybe that’s how they can hold swords and walk on 2 legs

Idea:the ancient builders brought their pigs into the nether and left them as the explored or built, the nether fortress, then they forgot them and they went home, but the pigs were there, forgotten, and then they evolved into the hoglins, adapting to the nether.
1.6 came out on May 26th, 2011. 1.16, (aka the NETHER UPDATE) came out on June 23rd, 2020. And yes, I did go through the whole video before posting this. Tho with the pigs eating nether warts theory, it would explain why regular nether warts (not counting the blocks at all) can ONLY be found in nether fortresses.
Remember: The soil that grows nether warts is made by dead human souls so I think that explains the evolution of growing human-like.
Loop Brothers yes exactly very smart
Good job I never thought of that

We still need a Theory about why saddles aren’t craftable... Wow me

Because they’re OP *The End*
only animals can craft them
The only question I have with this is why don't piglins and zombie piglins express an aggressive behaviour towards endermen but produce it towards the wither skeleton (and Steve/Alex).
This theory makes even more sense when you remember the Ophiocordyceps uniteralis, a real-life fungus species that can infect and control the minds of insects, as how Minecraft's fungus did with the Minecraft cows and pigs as if the fungus in the game is a more powerful version of Ophiocordyceps uniteralis

Maybe when the ancient builder’s society collapsed, that’s how we got ruined portals. It also explains like in this theory, the ancient builders brought in golden swords, which is why we only get golden swords in the chests
I’m interested to see a theory about the nether reactor from og bedrock. Perhaps a snapshot of an alternate universe where the original builders had far fewer skills and could only summon a piece of the nether in the overworld and were incapable of reaching the end dimension. Perhaps they were all lost to zombification.
2 theories I wanna see: *Villager & Pillager* *Steve’s Inventory*
Ok
Maybe pillagers were villagers who were rejected from the village, they went out and built their own places, mansions specifically, to live in. Perhaps they were shunned because of their grey skin tone, now they want revenge on the villagers for being discriminated so they attack and kill them.
@@hazeltree7738 That makes sense because in the MC Dungeons shows a grey villager kicked out of a village.
ooooo I like the sound of Steve's Inventory, I never thought about that.
Steve stole Santa's sack is my theory on the inventory
*that moment when you realize the ancient miners planted nether warts on their dead friends*
Or it grew on the dead body's
but they built farms in the nether fortresses lul
@@zuliooooo wait you're right lol
Thats why there called warts!!
Dang you big brainers
The only other natural foliage pre1.16 was mushrooms. So th wart shroom comparison is extremely valid.
I just realized something: When you kill an evoker, they don't pop the totem, but when you kill it it drops it, so maybe the reason the illagers do raids is for souls that in turn are used for totems that would give them immortality. like this so matpat can see

Hey all, Notch here
Alright quick theory: the pigmen started to behave like humans becuase of the nether warts becuase they grow in SOUL SAND. As said in the last Minecraft theory the souls of the master builders are stuffed in the dang stuff
god it makes a lot of sense
you solved it
Yeah. Thats what I thought too. The fact that they are docile must mean that they have a semblance of sentience. The nether must have fused human skeletons and pigs. The question I only had was why the lightning can make pigs into pigmen.
Pigs are soul eaters?
@@vhalrougelarfouxe jeb states that after the 1.16 nether update, pigs will no longer transform into zombie pigmen when stuck by lighting, meaning it was never intended to be a lore-based feature.
Did the builders bring butter swords to the nether, or did they build them there, from the materials they had available?
I have a theory on why they stand up: nether wart is a key ingredient in potion making, so it probably has some magical properties. While it could be evolution, I had the idea that it could have something to do with the making of potions or something, like how you were talking fire resistance and healing.
Matpat: this is such a huge part of the lore and can prove my theory Mojang: adds piglins Matpat: *sigh*
@@morton2248 Goldfish have very good memory even a few months or (rarely) Years!
He literally mentioned it
Well, I can connect all again. It could be that the nether wart, has a magic property of decay. Which explains why pigmen are half on decay. As a result they died from decay(1.16+), and their souls being added to the soul sand. Perhaps they might be the souls inside the ghast. The ghast according to my theory, is a flying robotic marshmallow, but powered from souls of these pigmen. Perhaps explains why the "Uneasy alliance" achivement, where you bring the ghast *back home* safely. But the piglins are another race entirely different. A pig transformed from the heat on the nether
They mentioned the pigglins but he literally acts as tho they’re different species and don’t explain their ties at all or how if the pigs came in and turned into zombies how they could also have non zombie variants. And now the pigmen are completely replaced by piglins. So we would say it does slaughter this theory
@@-Hexag0n but that means that hoglins are piglins
Me: 'taps multiple mushroom to hack into mushroom internet' Me: I’m in.
*turns on mushroom incognito* me: Finally....
Theory extension: The over world has some sort of zombie virus in the air and that charges up the lightning (which is a form of plasma) reacting with the pigs and transforming them into zombified bipedal versions of themselves. The nether on the other hand has a weak form of plasma floating through the air and when the pigs ate nether wart (the base ingredient for most potions) it with the souls required to grow it trigger a similar reaction creating the piglin.
With the fact that the Nether Fortresses were made by the ancient builders, I wonder where the blazes came from and why they spawn.
I just want to know who Steve really is because how did he even come to this world if everyone has been “dead” for centuries
Maybe he and, Alex are from another dimension , since you can build portals and crap.
@@emperorborgpalpatine Alex and Steve
It's like the Zelda game
Steve and Alex are gods
They're the product of the so called "immortality" that the ancient builders are trying to invent. Hence, the respawn button.

Common puffball fungus contains a compound called lycoperdic acid, which is a type of amino acid. Based on the structural similarity with glutamic acid, lycoperdic acid is expected to have antagonistic or agonistic activity for the glutamate receptor in the mammalian central nervous system. My theory is that nether wart is very similar to common puffball, and that it might enhance the effect of the ingredients that are used along with it on the nervous system, which would explain the powers that the potions give you.

I think a more likely theory would be: The pig's are struck by lightning in the overworld and turn into pigmen, the humans then force all of them into the Nether in order to keep them out of the overworld and to banish them to a realm, out of sight out of mind.
Thinking about it today, minecraft update have been all about adding more things to the lore of minecraft, and it makes those update look like prequels to the oldest version's of mine craft, as in the older versions of mine craft you play, the more it seems like in minecraft the stuff that creates the lore of minecraft disappears like how the dinosaurs disappeared without any explanation as to how and why they're gone.

I think that the reason Mooshrooms came to existence isn't because of cows eating mushrooms for generations until mushrooms became a part of their anatomy but rather because of a symbiotic relationship, I have reason to believe the cows that became Mooshrooms ended up as such because of often being covered with the spores of mushrooms which ended up adapting to live in symbiosis with the cow in which the cow is mostly brain dead while the mushroom keeps it alive and does all the surviving. Here are the reasons why: Reason 1: When you look at a Mooshroom's eyes all you see are two black squares, perhaps its because the eyes aren't needed because the mushroom has no need for it when they are controlling a cow in an area without predators. Reason 2: The way mushrooms work is that the mushroom is connected to an underground hive mind known as Hyphae which is likely found in mushrooms in Minecraft as shown in Mycelium, it may be that there is a similar network inside of the cows body. Reason 3: In this symbiotic relationship there is not much need for the cow to really be in a state that can be considered alive since the mushrooms are doing all the work. This is possible due to the fact that evolution is less of keeping the organism alive and more of preserving the DNA as noted in the Endosymbiosis theory, which claims that the mitochondria and chloroplasts started out as their own organism with chloroplasts specifically starting out as a kind of cyanobacteria but both ended up as endosymbionts which allowed the host to gain more energy and become more complex while the endosymbionts go from being considered alive to being another organelle with only their DNA being the last remnants of their days as actual living organisms, this is exactly the same except it's the host that loses their ability to be considered alive while the endosymbiont takes up the role formerly taken up by the cow itself and that both organisms are already multicellular eukaryotes rather than unicellular prokaryotes.
I love mooshrooms
Maybe the ancient builders found out that pigs turn into pigmen and started using them as a source of labor to gather supplies for their fortresses and the pigmen became enslaved over time. Whenever the ancient builders disappeared they freed and armed themselves. Not ever wanting to harm someone for no reason like they were but promised to protect each other to prevent them from being enslaved again.

Also since nether wart is related to fungi,and fungi often thrive off of dead things that could also be an atribute pigs got from the nether wart,hence why they are often zombified. (I know this theory is a stretch just something to think about)
An interesting fact that would also help with this point is that when you one-shot a pigman the others do nothing. This could be because the pigman didn't have enough time to alert the others because the connection was broken before the pigman even knew what happened.

Now that I think about it, notice how nether wart only grows on Soul Sand? Maybe it is normal mushrooms that absorbed the souls contained in the sand and evolved. And maybe the mushrooms were also brought to the nether.
MATPAT! Here's a crazy theory for ya on the origins of skeletons. Your zombie disease video makes sense, but doesn't explain the skeletons. No disease is going to keep a pile of bones floating around. You'd need magic to do that. Here's a quote from the Mobestiary, " Some have proposed that skeletons are ancient adventurers raised from death by an evil sorcerer." In the game Minecraft Dungeons there is a group of ancient necromancers who live in a desert temple. They have blue glowing eyes (the color of souls) and when they summon skeletons, you can see small blue souls float away from the summoning area. They even shoot soul fire blasts! But why are they themselves undead? Maybe because when they (or some other humans) summoned the wither, they noticed that it doesn't attack undead things, and they turned themselves undead to protect themselves. I hope you read this!

@@halfpace1462 Yes, they are... but I think more so than that they're _both_ undead mobs. They also both spawn in Nether Fortresses, so they must be allies in some way.
"there's no food in the nether" Sad mushroom noises
Mushroom: am i a joke to you
Sad nether update noises
Hate to be this person but there's no wood to make the bowls for mushroom stew
Gamrs ! You can pretty easily bring bowls though
Lmao
Fun Fact that I'm guessing a lot of people know by now: Zombie Pigman used to drop Cooked Porkchop, but in a later update, it was changed to Rotten Flesh.
Which Version I want see for myself
@@joshuaholman7813 I have no idea, but it was early on.
@@joshuaholman7813 then your gonna have to find a youtuber who was back in the minecraft days the old old days
If you think about that's kinda dark...
@@joshuaholman7813 any version older than beta 1.8
Hay MatPat do a theory about Minecraft Story Modes wither storm and how dose putting a command block in the middle of a wither allows it to suck up blocks.
How about striders? I wanna see a theory about that!
"Shattered remains of ancient nether portals. Wonder who built them?" -snapshot 20w16A This confirms that there was indeed someone in the nether before you. Thats no big deal. But the fact that they point it out outright confirms that your theory on the ancient builders was right. You dont ask wonder who built them and mean nothing. Congrats on getting that right
How about the piglins? How where they created
Also the piglens help the theroy too
IKR!
also not mentioning that wandering traders sell sometimes glowstone and netherwart and stuff...
@@nameinprogress2755 that's like asking where pigs were created, or villagers, or the ancients. They were always there, how do you like piglin bastion remnants were made. They weren't created by the ancients, but probably at war with them, fighting against their bastions and homefield advantage in the nether
6:10 MatPat: "...the changes coming in Minecraft 1.6..." Me: "Umm... No."
Thats what i wanted to say!
1.16
@@sabu225 No, I think he didn't. There is no reason why he should say something like this on purpose.
Where are my redstones?
@@ELing-ib1ki1.5 was the big Redstone update and 1.6 the horse update... So you should still have Redstone, bud.
Funfact to the dimension theorie to prove it there is a april snapchot to reach over 2mil dimension even red dragon with magic books Also on old beta mc u can find random steves walking around maybe its a easter egg to the old zivilisation?
I have a theory, so the ghost flying around in the nether are the lost souls of the kids who wondered into the nether, they were killed by the monsters and the soul sand brought them back into souls/ghost in the nether
Steve: *punches zombie pigmen* *_"now all of China knows you're here"_*
You again
Its you again
Not you
I've never seen/heard of this guy
You are lucky
Matpat tells people how strong they have to be to punch down a tree MrBeast: We need him to help us plant trees
Well, they caught him red handed. Literally, after punching that tree so hard. So technically, its his punishment.
Wow. I never could have guessed that zombie pigmen and pigs were connected!
So the warts are fungi, right? Fungi are known as parasites, so the netherwarts may have taken control of the pigmen, and maybe that might explain why they'rr decayed? It's a theory needing more progress but I respect yours as well.
