Solving Minecraft's Weirdest Lore 

Moral of the video? Something something idk subscribe

Here something to keep you up at night. When you pick up coral blocks and place them on land from the ocean without water, they die, so, that implies the inventory is incredibly moist if it's able to keep coral blocks alive.

I love that the “lore” was presented in such a creative format. A game show? A stakeout? Conspiracy theorist insanity???

The mushroom one actually fits in with major minecraft lore.

IDEA! The mushrooms got to the nether when witches came to gather glowstone, either farming mushrooms for food while there or by dropping some along the way!

This is actually interesting when you consider most "minecraft facts" videos tell you the same thing 800 times

the real question is, how can 3 brown books duplicate itself into many different colors when you craft them into a bookshelf?

You know how spawners always spawn pigs when you place them down? That’s because pigs are the Minecraft equivalent of Mew from Pokémon; every other mob evolved from a pig. Think of it, where did hoglins and piglins come from? They were pigs that went to the nether and evolved, and pigs eventually split off and evolved into cows, sheep, chicken, squid, zombies, pillagers, villagers, axolotl, phantoms, polar bears… and eventually, you, the player.

On the villagers with shears one considering that we literally punch through wood with our bare hands we just are too violent to grab leaves properly

It is unbelievably hilarious to me that it is officially canon to Minecraft's lore that crying obsidian tears taste like sour gummy worms. Lmao like WHAT???!?

Actually makes more sense being redstone since cakes ACTUALLY activate redstone when eated

3:12 Bedrock Players: **Laughing in a corner**

This is the same amount of fun as old school Minecraft videos. I'm glad to see good old fashioned fun Minecraft content.

"Shulkers have a spiral on the bottom. Ancient debris has a spiral." Me: Hold up. So you're saying Ancient Debris is fossilized Shulkers?

Why is this so underrated? You deserve so much more popularity!

7:35 hes going crazy

7:12 MatPat when new FNAF book

Fun fact!: according to the LOLCATS language setting in Minecraft, rotten flesh tastes like broccoli

6:42 it's just that, as long as the jukeboxe's "minecraft:has_disc" state is set to "true", the parrots dance. The mechanic isn't too fancy

This was actually funny and enjoyable! You’re so underrated.

The end is an accurate imitation of matpat trying to figure out Minecraft lore.

When you aren't someone who plays a lot of Minecraft but still watches these videos because they are so good :)

“Cakes are topped with chicken wattles” got me dying

8:25 I just realized that the Minecraft cake texture has a spiral.

“Cows are from the nether” “Chickens are fruit” “Water can’t be in the nether because the endermen don’t like it” “Parrots-“ *woah man you need a break go take a break for goodness sake*

Lore: Why Eight-sided square's skins is not Eight-sided?

7:50 there are also enderman in the end and we can still place water on it

I reckon the red on top of the cake is the blood of the player from compressing those ingredients a bit too hard 😂

5:10 the start of insanity 5:56 Becoming Game Theory 6:33 Calming down 6:44 Damn you, parrots! 6:58 Vindicator time 7:12 Starting to go insane 7:26 Trying to stop, but can’t stop 7:37 Thinking everything must have a meaning 7:46 Maybe not mobs will calm me down? NO. 7:54: Can’t even think straight 7:59 L-look deeper! Everything h-has a meaning! 8:06 WHY DOES THIS MAKE NO SENSE?!?! 8:13 100% insane

U can also get tall grass from wandering traders as well.

4:54 Villager watches his crush kiss with another villager

Bro went full matpat mode for this

This is a creative way to "solve lore" ever gameshow,stakeout,Conspiracy Theorist Insanity!

"The lore is up to you" Minecraft story mode: no thanks

3:46 the iron golem knew you were trying to spy on that villager HE DEFINITELY KNEW

1:44 So were just lead to believe that steve has incredibly yeasty hands?

I can explain 7:55 When you power a block using redstone dust the block will be soft powered. So it can power any redstone components like repeater but not dust. But when repeater powers a block it will be a strong powered block meaning every redstone component will get power Through the block. So there is no ghost.

This video is genuinely entertaining and I would watch an entire series about this

The mushroom lore might even be true your a genius my man

“The lore is up to you” well I believe in the lore that you have presented

I'd say the red on the cake is blood from Steve's bare hands from crushing the wheat

I guess Element Animation saying Cows are vicious beasts from the depths of the nether that are only sacrificed by the blood of their enemies was technically true all along.

Bro can win long jumps with how far he’s jumping to conclusions

3:33 this man just goes on a full spy mission and completely forgets about the video

4:20 plot twist : tall grass is actually villager hair

4:03 ah yes villager tradeing "sugar"

In the official minecraft cookbook, the cake is topped with square strawberries

you know, that zooming with the spy glass takes some skill

I’m gonna add on to the nether cow theory, Perhaps the nether cows, Like Piglins, were a smarter, more sentient species of cow, with some counterparts that were stronger with less intelligence (Cow hoglins basically) These cows may have possibly had a war with early Piglins, causing the death of said cow warriors beforehand. Maybe these Bullkins, as I’ll call them, knew how to go to the overworld, possibly finding mushrooms and finding out that they possibly make the Bullkins stronger, so they used them and brought them to the nether, spreading some mushroom spores that would grow in the nether later on. These Bullkin would also die in said war, and the Piglins would trap the souls of the Bullkin in soul sand. Of course that’s just a theory, but eh.

Alternative Title: EightSidedSquare having a panic attack for 9 minutes

Minecraft:NO physics Minecraft dungeons:fire under water

When the villager said “We’ll find out what happens after these messages!” I got an ad! 😂

If you said "but that's just a theory, a game theory", I would've loved this video even more than I already do.

1:03 bread stapled to trees :)

5:08 Got me thinking What about *Nether Villagers?*

0:53 *its topped with the crafters very own blood sacrifice. to fulfill the cake gods needs.*

"Sorry for spying on you :(" amazing! Haha!

"Tallgrass is the rarest block in Minecraft" Translation: Tallgrass is the rarest item in Minecraft

the hidden egg in the logo of "what am i topping my cake with?"

This guy has solved more minecraft lore in one video than matpat has over 2 years

1:28 don't forget about that if you have a coral in your inventory it won't die meaning it is extremely moisty inside

How to use spyglass perfectly 3:31

Eight Sided Square: There was a whole world of villagers with shears hidden from us this whole time! Shepherd Villager left the chat.

0:34 its cow blood.

New minecraft lore question:why area axolotls so wholesome?

I like the part where he is talking and saying " I wonder what else they are hiding from us" while the iron golem listens to everything he says the when he realised that he has been spotted he just makes a portal to get away

these are so well made they're better than most minecraft "fact" videos

I know I’m late to the party but one lore thing that I think is true. Is that the enderman is just the player after being eaten by the dragon. Think about it their the only mob to be in all the dimensions. Their the only mob to pick up and place blocks. They do a decent amount of damage probably due to them dying with a sword (maybe strength too). Their the only mob to start to die in water (like how you take damage from not breathing). This is clearly head cannon but would be cool lore nonetheless.

There are two options for what cakes have on top of them. Since cakes were added in 1.2, it can't be beetroot from 1.9 or sweet berries from 1.14. Apples were made in Indev 0.31 and nether wart was from 0.12.1. Since nether wart is used for potions and you don't get swiftness from the sugar, the item on cakes are... A. Apples B. Sweet Berries C. Beetroot D. Nether Wart E. None of the above E, because the insides of apples are white(ish). It could be A, though, as the skin of apples are red. So in this scenario, (If you didn't have "None of the about") Apples are what is on the cake.

The end was amazing Eightsidedsquare!

Here’s a question that will keep you up at night, why do tropical fish all become clownfish when they are put into a bucket and why do axolotls all become leucistic when they are put in buckets as well?

Idea; what if ancient debris is dead/fossilized shulker shells? They both have the same spiral like bottom so it’s possible

this was just a fever dream

You make the most confusing things sound like good comedy. Love your videos.

damn!! you've got great content here! I've enjoyed watching some of your stuff on lunch break, ty

Title of the video: Solving Minecraft lore Matpat: hey that's my job

8:09 HOLY SHIT THE CALCITE IN THE TOP ISN'T ALIGNED WITH THE CALCITE IN THE SIDE

"So unnamed villager" That cracked my head out XD

Right as you said “we’ll find out after these messages” an ad popped up and I thought it was part of the video 😂

when he started to talk abaut the parrots and so on he just goes on to full insanity

He got crazy 7:21

Love your stuff man, keep up the quality content! 🧐💛

i have watched this so many times... this has gotta be my favourite video on youtube ever...

No, the mushrooms in the nether is just because there is a VERY ancient version of minecraft add the world personnalisation and the "hell" generation was an option with lava, mushrooms, etc... and that inspires the actual nether (so also the mushrooms) 😅

if you go in minecraft enderman in spectator you see it's vision, inverted. water is yellow in its vision. they think it's piss

EightSidedSquare: Why do Endermens look like that? Mat Pat: I am four parallel universes ahead of you...

Theory: Ancient debree are shells that formed originally in the end, some shells were inhabited by mysterious creatures and lived, and some rotted and were thrown away into the nether. Theory 2: Foxes aren’t ghosts, they have extremely tough skin, so they don’t get hurt. Theory 3: Mushrooms are from mooshrooms that were brought into the nether by players. Theory 4: The player is a survivor from an apocalypse, explaining zombies, skeletons, husks and strays. Theory 5: Mooshrooms were mutated in a lab. Theory 6: Creepers were pigs mutated in a lab, they had tnt, gunpowder and fire charges fused into them.

Creppers are mad of 1=leaves 2=clay try error 3=Gunpowder and sand it makes explode TNT 4=pig trial error 5=added to minecraft

This video is both fun to watch and just amazing! This guy is soooooooooo underrated!

2:29 I was thinking that they were bloodspots

These videos are so well made! I subscribed!

Birch how the nether did you find out lore?!?!. I thought this blocky world was just for fun. But they added lore, LORE!!! The secret tales and words of the game itself, into a survival game! This is so interesting! Thank you for making this video! You have blown my mind once again, 8!

Actually to prove the bread one wrong, if you watched/played Minecraft Story Mode, you’d know that the crafting table is actually magical and merges the items in a form to make an item. It was a diamond sword that was being crafted, I believe, when I learned.

I actually think that ancient debris are actually shulker shell fossils. how they got there, i don't know.

Man I still can’t stop laughing on the nether cows

This went from stuff I wanted to know to stuff I didn’t wanna know

This was such a roller-coaster

0:41 I SEE THE EGG

I always saw the red things on the cake as cherries, although that doesn't make sense since there are no cherry trees in Minecraft (but apples dropping from oak leaves doesn't make sense either, why aren't there separate apple trees in Minecraft?). But thinking about it, sweet berries would make the most sense. Beetroots or nether warts wouldn't fit into a sweet food like cake, and apple pieces would probably look different. The reason why the sweet berries don't appear in the crafting recipe? Maybe the player has some random sweet berries in his pockets that aren't shown in the inventory or something. Flower pots also have visible dirt in them even though the crafting resipe doesn't have dirt. Maybe the players just pick up the dirt right where they are standing while crafting the flower pot.

“Not everything needs an explanation-” The Game Theorists: Shh, we don’t talk about that!
