Be As Warm As The Nether With NEW Holiday TheoryWear! ► theorywear.com/
Loyal Theorists, today I’m serving up some HOT TAKES about the nether in Minecraft…or maybe they’re actually cold takes. You see, today I'm arguing that the nether… you know, the place filled with LAVA and FLAMES actually used to be filled with ICE and WATER! Yep, the Nether had an ICE AGE, and I can prove it. So strap on those snow boots and zip up those winter coats because we’re heading to the nether!

There's mods called BetterNether and BetterEnd, which could have a double meaning. Better in terms of visual consumption, but it could also mean those areas are "getting better" as in they're recovering from being overused.

Something that may add to this theory: When you go to the Nether, there's something of a haze effect if you try to look into the distance. Players who have messed around with the files and swapped some things around for them to make a connectable nether portal in the end have created that same effect, meaning that the haze could be lingering gases from in the Nether, since that seems to be a part of that dimension.

Yes they did pillage it as well as but they were trapped and finally had to face the consequences.

The greenhouse effect only works with light coming in from the outside. The nether has a ceiling. But the same could have happened without any greenhouse gases because the heat couldn't escape anywhere. In this case it wouldn't need the ancient builders to ruin the nether.

@Noted_Apollo Год назад

2 bots in one comment💀

@zea_64 Год назад

Technically the greenhouse effect is what stops heat radiating away as quickly, the source of the heat doesn't really matter. On Earth that means instead of the infrared radiation going straight into space a lot gets caught by the atmosphere and can get re-released (partially radiating back to the ground and other parts of the atmosphere). The heat is gone once it reaches space because it can't be caught anymore. The real issue here is how does heat escape the Nether at all? Even before bringing in greenhouse gasses.

@RKMapsTeam Год назад

Same thing I thought, CO2 and Methane in its self doesn't cause the environment to warm up, but on Earth it does trap the heat that Earth might have otherwise radiated out into space.

@elijahwoodnt4498 Год назад

I went ahead and binged this series for fun because I just discovered it. One major question I have, though, revolves around the Illagers. MatPat said that the Illagers are likely “cargo culting” things they had seen the Ancient Builders do or build. We know for a fact Illagers come from Villagers too. However, one theory episode (the Iron Golem theory video iirc) posed the idea that the Villagers came from a faction of Ancient Builders who stopped progressing forward and settled down, forgetting how to build and craft. If Illagers come from the Villagers who in turn came from the Builders, why would they be cargo culting what used to be their own civilization? The theory of the Illagers posed that the reason they made the End Portals of wool was because they saw the Builders arrive from the portals. How could that be possible if they themselves were descendants of a faction of Builders who settled? A second question is: if Illagers come from Villagers, who cannot build, how do the Illagers build their bases and wool statues? Also, Villagers own beds. Why would Illagers, former Villagers themselves, make wool replicas of beds rather than real beds, since they would have seen and used them as Villagers themselves?

@hubbletrubble7875 Год назад

The issue with a greenhouse effect is it is a result of preventing thermal radiation from escaping. The Nether Roof already traps all the thermal radiation, so adding co2 and methane won't heat it up.

@overkill1340 Год назад

It's the heat that doesn't escape. The heat source doesn't need to be light. The Nether has a roof/ceiling so heat shouldn't be able to escape anyway.

@oneone99able Год назад

@@overkill1340 then the gases are entirely unrelated, and even then without some other variable the heat would eventually dissipate. The reason active volcanos stay hot is because new lava is being pushed to surface. Without the constant addition it cools quickly. Unless the builders created an active volcano on the spot that part makes no sense

@italianinsanity397 Год назад

this is what ive been saying! def not his best work...

@derpedpotato8563 Год назад

@@oneone99able Well clearly there is some dissipation to begin with otherwise the player wouldn't be able to survive in the Nether as it currently is. But before the ancient builders came to the Nether their ecosystem probably produced very little amounts of greenhouse gas, enough for it to eventually dissipate through the bedrock. Then the ancient builders came bringing way too much greenhouse gases and the fragile Nether ecosystem most likely couldn't handle it.

@spoons4545 Год назад

@@oneone99able He says in the video that the Nether warms because of the influx of greenhouse gases, which can absorb and keep heat in the environment regardless of where it comes from. In our real world, it stops solar heat from bouncing off of the planet and returning to space. Also in real life, thermal energy is incredibly efficient at seeping through solid matter, especially stone like bedrock appears to be, meaning the bedrock ceiling acts as a heat sink to get geothermal energy out into the void. It's likely that the greenhouse gases formed a blanket underneath the heat-sink ceiling that pushed heat above the Nether and slowed the output of geothermal heat. As for life, it's entirely plausible that the gases in the Nether haven't dissipated, but the trees and other wildlife have adapted to deal with higher temperatures and higher concentrations of methane and carbon dioxide instead. Think about the colors of the plant biomes in the Nether: Red could indicate a higher iron content and blue could indicate a higher copper content, which are used by vertebrates and invertebrates respectively to transport oxygen throughout their bodies. Perhaps some chemical reaction akin to photosynthesis where instead of using solar energy the plants steal geothermal heat from the environment to break down carbon dioxide and turn it into oxygen can be used to regulate the environment. I do think he needed to be clearer on how the greenhouse gases might have actually worked, but I think the science holds up.

Yes, exactly. It's not the greenhouse gasses heating the earth up, it's the energy from the sun. The greenhouse gasses just help trap the sunlight that bounces around on earth, heating the earth up. The reason they are called greenhouse gasses is that they work in a similar way to a greenhouse, where the glass lets the sun's energy in, but prevents the sun's energy, which gets turned into heat, from exiting.

@master_mega Год назад

I’m confused about the whole greenhouse gasses part because how the greenhouse gasses warm up the nether but that doesn’t make too much sense as the reason they heat up earth is because they act as a blanket trapping in the heat from the sun and not letting it escape but the nether has no sun to get trapped and even then the nether is one massive cave system that he’s suggesting to be volcanic but if green house gasses heated up the nether then I think that the nether was just doomed to melt from the start

@gaygekko Год назад

Yeah! The whole theory honestly falls apart at that point, don't know why MatPat didn't realise how this doesn't make sense. Cool theory, but not scientifically accurate.

Basalt requires fast cooling that this theory doesn't explain, it would actually contradict if the ancient builders where gathering and removing all the blue ice. Perhaps the nether was always very hot but never to this degree, the builders brought with them extremely cold ice and created colder places for them to inhabit, rapidly cooling the environment into basalt. Either the greenhouse gasses slowly brought the temp even higher or maybe they even saw the damage they did and tried to help but only made it worse. Whatever the cause, the nether was heating up again and they couldn't mine more ice fast enough, causing there ice boxes to become depleted and leaving the nether as the hell scape we see today.

@warbrain1053 Год назад

greenhouse gazes don't work. The nether can't "just heat up" if it is a closed system since it means energy is created from nowhere. I think talking about enthropy, how since it is a closed system heat between surface and core begun to average out would be more consistent. There is no way greenhouse gazes are different from normal gazes in a fully closed system, and this is misleading. Greenhouse gazes work on earth due to an input : solar radiation and output : earth radiating heat away, making input more efficient and preventing heat from going to space. Nether has none so scientifically false

@crazydud2432 Год назад

@@warbrain1053 I thought the greenhouse gasses was a pretty suspicious answer but I couldn't be bothered to look it up. The nether is heavily implied to be underground, its even labeled as dimension -1, the basement. Such a deep underground ecosystem would receive warmth from the planets core instead of the sun. Lets say the builders brought in ice and began to cool pockets of the nether for their inhabitation. Perhaps even they would notice the mass death caused when the plants that subsisted off geothermal energy are cut off from the heat. They could have created boreholes deeper into the ground to release more of the core's heat, but this would backfire and create our giant lava lakes that cover almost the entire nether. temperatures might have previously held a certain equilibrium but with the lava now gushing up from below it would facilitate a more powerful heat transfer. its midnight and I don't have any kind of engineering degree, this sort of thing just feels plausible. whatever holes it has arent as terrible as MatPat failing to explain how the gases would have caused heat in the first place or how the basalt would have cooled again afterwards, just to heat up again.

Maybe those fossils were of the Sniffer (the new big dino) being brought to the nether by the ancient builders. And also the ancient builders (and the player) come from the ancient city portal and came to take the Core of Life (that big structure thing from MCL), during the battle of the overworld and nether, dooming much of the harmony seem in the game. It would be so cool for the end of MCL to be devastating! Then a new spark of life comes in current Minecraft when you return, with very little memory of the past. Also players would be the ones who don’t want to take over the overworld like the other ancient builders and defended the overworld from the harm of the piglins, but we were unable to save it from the ABs. That’s my working theory. It would be cool if when we go through the AC portal, we get the advancement “Familiar”. Then bring back the Core of Life to the overworld, causing more content to be revealed, similar to hard mode in Terraria.
