What is Minecraft's Ender Dragon? 

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

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

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.

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.

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

Nic

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Yes thank you I made multiple comments on this I'm glad I'm not the only one

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)

no there's intentional game design

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

Applying electrical current to fresh muscle tissue causes it to move as well, and dragons are notably ageless in most media

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."

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

Well the nether is below the overworld and the end is above the overworld

@@Nicolos117 can you back that up with a source?

Piglin heads also move when powered. Also electrical currents can make muscle tissue in real life move, dead or alive.

Final boss decides to leave the boss arena and prevents game end 💀

he does

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

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

so true

But guardians do,

@@ked49but guardian exp is absorbed by sculk catalysts, right?

@@ked49Likely absorbed from the squids they kill

For the dragon heads on the ship. Well they just made extra heads and stuck them there cause their cool of course 😂😂😂

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...

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!

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 😂
