I always imagined that Minecraft must have more oxygen in the environment, allowing the bugs to be much bigger, since bees and spiders are also much larger than in real life. Kind of like how Earth was in the carboniferous.
Clearly it’s just the way the game works - because beehives are smaller than actual bees, which doesn’t make a lot of sense. Also if there was more oxygen in the Minecraft world, there would be huge butterflies and fireflies, these creatures are still tiny. Likewise, vegetation would be much more common and greater in scale. You would also have a lot of rain and minimal icecaps.
Plus fire spreads extremely fast and burns very easily in minecraft, with just a small spark from a flint and steel causing a huge flame anywhere that's not underwater
There is actually one organism that literally consumes stone: it's a shipworm known as lithoredo abatanica, it's cousins consume wood to feed symbiotic bacteria that live in their gills, that in turn feed the worms themselves, and lithoredo abatanica does the same except with limestone. The minecraft silverfish could have adapted the behavior for the same reason, which also leads to constructing burrows in the stone for defense. These two adaptions, combined with the horde mentality and the offensive ability of its powerful jaws could have allowed it to become very successful, leading to its massive size
I always pictured Silverfish to be scavengers who were hyper aggressive due to scarcity of food and were eating the undead underground when said bodies weren’t moving, and were using bits of human & animal bones to burrow into the rock. In torpor when in the ground, they become ravenous and violent when food arrives, as their fat reserves hath been burned up.
@@organ-candy1114 Precisely! On its own, a single vulture is no match for most animals, yet get the whole Air Force of those corpse eaters and you immediately fear for your life
"If we assume Minecraft's reality is the same as our own" *shows tree levitating as you punch square sections of its middle out of existence* Jokes aside, great video!
Of all the mobs you could've studied you picked a silverfish, one of the least interesting ones. However, you still managed to make it incredibly interesting! I'm legitimately shocked this isnt more popular!
This is a fantastic video! I wish you hadn't beaten me to such a novel idea! I will enjoy watching further speculative Minecraft biology videos of yours :)
This sounds like a video idea I’d come up with for my youtube channel when I was in middle school, its so ridiculously specific that it’s charming. great vid
hm, arthropleura (an ancient centeped with a size of about 3m) evolved before the oxygen rose to +30% probably bc of no competition, maybe this happend in the caves with the bugs which then later came out after the other predators of minecraft died out (we saw bears and badgers in minecraft dungeons/legends)
are you going to do a video about the sniffer when they come out? Like their possible evolutionary history and biology. and this video is very interesting take on the biology of the animal.
I think they would be great ambush predators. Squeezing into a small space essentially turns it into a gun barrel. By expelling gas they could launch themselves at prey, burrow into it and kill the target. From here they would feed and maybe leave eggs. Zombies would become walking carriers as they walk through the caves until collapsing due to a lack of structure, propegating the species.
