I think the reason that you travel through the nether 8 times faster than in the overworld, is that the universe expanded stretching out the nether into the size of the overworld. A kind of similar thing to the Big Bang. For the end, I think that the world had been stretched out so far, the laws of space had been broken. I really like this theory, Toycat, good job.

@@joshharris4797 Karol Koszorz did make a mistake about stretching of space "breaking" spacetime, but the expansion of the universe he mentions would achieve the same effect. As time passes, the universe expands, causing a certain distance in the past to increase and get stretched out in the future. This is also true in reverse - going from present (overworld) to past (nether) makes distances shorter. So, since the end is so far in the future, traveling a lot of distance in the end would correspond to a near meaningless distance in the overworld as space has expanded so much.

65,000 BP (Before Players): A cataclysmic rift is opened, and the nether forms. This is around the time that the overworld was created. No life wanders the expanses of any dimension - yet. 54,000 BP: Life has sprung up in the overworld and slowly spreads across the world. Some life forms are able to travel through the rift and into the nether. 51,000 BP: A massive volcanic eruption rocks the nether, bathing the hellscape in lava and sealing the rift to the overworld. 12,000 BP: The nether is already growing ancient, and life has evolved into many different creatures. Far in the depths of the nether, the air clouds with the remains of lost life forms and what we now know as the Soul Valleys begin to form. 3,700 BP: Evolution has begun to accelerate and the vast expanses of the nether are full of developing forms of life. Huge tree-like fungi have evolved from their smaller counterparts and have begun to create spreading forests. The air is thick with spores here, which help the spread of the fungi. 3,400 BP: Evolving from smaller rat-like creatures, Hoglins begin to roam the crimson forests of fungi. They are at the top of the food chain currently. 3,200 BP: Some Hoglins have wandered far from the forests of fungi and begin evolving into massive beasts. Meanwhile, within the crimson forests, Piglins begin evolving from the Hoglins and begin to form a more complex ecosystem. 2,900 BP: Massive creatures evolved from other Hoglins begin to dominate the wastes of the nether. Now at the top of the food chain, they begin to venture into the ever growing Soul Sand Valleys. Meanwhile, the race of Piglins multiplies and becomes a highly intelligent species. They are able to construct massive bastions after venturing into the remains of the ancient eruption. In the Soul Valleys, lost Piglins are laid to rest, but some break free from the grasp of the soul sand. Their skin, muscle, and soul stripped away from them, all that remain are their charred black skeletons. 2,600 BP: the Massive beasts die out, each and every one of them haven been felled by the withered skeletons of dead Piglins. All that remain of them are their massive skeletons littering the dunes of the soul valleys. These skeletons begin construction of their own massive fortresses. They are seen as an enemy of the Piglin race. 2,400 BP: The war begins. Wither skeletons and Piglins battle each other for the next few years. Many wither skeleton fortresses are destroyed, and many Piglin bastions are laid to ruin, some even destroyed to the point where all that remain are pieces of debris, destined to be buried under the rocky crust of the nether for centuries. 2,100 BP: A sepratist group of Piglins discover a ritual to open a portal to the overworld. However, to their horror, they soon discover that the atmosphere of the overworld is toxic to them, and they become corrupted. Having already been outcasts of the central Piglin race, they are destined to roam the wastes of the nether as Zombified Piglins. Ruins of their portals can be found across the nether. 1,100 BP: Various species populate the nether by now. Living chunks of the magma itself have formed from the molten rock of the volcanic regions. Some have evolved to grow legs and dwell on the surface of the lava oceans. The wither skeletons have mastered the creation of a new beast from the fires of the nether: Blazes. The souls of the ancient massive beasts have escaped and roam the soul valleys as ghasts, forever trapped within the depths of the nether. 600 BP: Enderman from a far dimension have arrived and begun to corrupt and warp some of the fungal forests. Who knows what their intent is. They can still be found today, slowly converting the crimson forests into an unnatural kind. 1 AP(After Players): Players begin to adventure into the nether. Besides having to deal with each other, the wither skeletons and piglins must now be wary of us. Players begin to set up bases and loot the ancient fortresses. 230 AP: Players discover a ritual to create a nightmare. Piecing together the skulls of wither skeletons and the soil from which the souls of the dead are trapped in, players begin the creation of withers. These evil beings terrorize every creature in the nether, apart from the wither skeletons and their own kin. Current Years: Players have greatly influenced the nether. They have become a threat and a great help at the same time. It will be interesting to see how the balance of this forsaken dimension will be affected in the years to come.

This is one of the things I love about Minecraft is that it’s so open to interpretation. The fact that instead of having definitive lore, it’s all just little cryptic hints that the player connects fits the game’s creative nature so well. I love how it kind of tells you to make your own story. In a way, it’s like we’re the historians trying to piece together clues to a story that will never be fully revealed. I don’t think there’s supposed to be a definitive storyline to the Minecraft universe. The quasi-lore is literally in place so the players can create theories like this. And like how there’s no right or wrong play style for Minecraft, there’s really no right or wrong theories. Or this game is a hodgepodge of ideas and concepts by multiple teams of people over the last decade and none of it is really that thought out.

The Nether isn't in the past and the End isn't in the future. This doesn't mean that the End isn't _a_ future, though. Maybe the End is the end of _a_ dimension, just not the Overworld's?

My favourite theory is still that some world-ending apocalypse happened, leaving the world empty. Every version update brings "new things" into the world, which is actually the world coming back from the brink. With the new lighting update, there are fewer hostile mobs and more "life", meaning the world is fighting back and winning. The nether and the end are the origins of the apocalypse, and the "introduction" of the two portals is just the player figuring out how to go to the source.

Priests sell glowstone and witches have access to netherwart. Hard to say who provides for who. But most likely the wandering guy since you dont see the others leaving.

I like this theory but imo it fits better to have villagers evolve into endermen instead of shulkers. Assuming that villagers started destroying the world to a point that the void surfaced and traversing land was extremely difficult. Wouldn't it make sense for them to evolve into endermen to be able to traverse the barren land better. Endermen seem to be the only other mob in the game which can build which suggests they have some relation to the villager. Shulkers could easily be defense mechanisms built by the villagers to stop their welth being stolen and villagers have shown the capacity to build mobs before (iron golem). If villagers got stuck in this era of nothing ness then they would have to evolve and adapt. Villagers would have to eat chorus fruit for years as there only source of food and due to the teleportational aspect of the fruit then if the villagers ate that for thousands of years wouldn't their bodys start to adapt through naturally gaining teleportation and eventually gaining the ability to teleport through time or perhaps they do it on accident since it doesn't seem that they intentionally teleport through time. Villagers would have eventually forgotten all about trading and their past as by the time they gained the ability to teleport trading would have died centuries ago. Leaving it to be forgotten to history which is why endermen pick up blocks but have no want in actually using them, to them it's simply just curiosity and nothing more.

Theory: Nether is located below the overworld since the roof of the nether is bedrock while the floor of the overworld is also bedrock thats why you can travel 8x faster in the nether 11:30, while the end is the outer space, all creatures in the end has the ability to teleport or fly - ender dragon and the levitating effect of shulker bullets (shulker bullets defies gravity) and also the elytra, which explains the black bg of the end-

I feel like we're forgetting one small detail here, what about the bedrock ceiling in the nether? Are we assuming that after thousands of years it just disappeared? If so, why hasn't the same happened with the bedrock in the overworld? This is the one hole in this theory that I feel needs to be addressed before we can call this plausible.

I don't think that villagers are the first evolving mob in the lore, as previous Minecraft lore suggests that they are a new generation of civilization after another fallen one, and this theory encompasses the various structures found throughout, and also mineshafts and enchanted books all over the world, indicating the previous civilization was advanced enough in mining and enchanting.

Although I don’t really buy it. But it was really good and promising till you said that the villagers managed to turn the whole Overworld into the end (removing all trees, etc..).

It feels like the End is a product of time and space being corrupted to the point where everything breaks. I'm probably wrong, but it may explain why islands are just casually floating

based on my experience, the end is the most peaceful dimension, even if the dragon is still there in fact, i even use her help to travel to those islands, that launching power is just enough to fly 1000 blocks with elytra and no fireworks

@reedy_9619

Never tried it, since you need elytras. And i dont trust flying machines enough to brave the void on one.

My head cannon was always that the End was the future as well... only the beetroot seeds evolved into chorus fruit, while everything died out. Left with nothing else to eat, villagers ate the chorus fruit, messed with their DNA over time and they evolved into Enderman. Due to the nature of being able to teleport, their grasp on where they were loosened and then they were showing up at different areas and time... hence why you could find them in all 3 dimensions.

The part of the theory about villagers developing trade and it leading to the end of the world makes even more sense if you consider how much more primitive trade is in the nether (the past) where you have to just throw gold and you get random items rather than the much more developed emerald trading system

I think the shulkers are magical defense systems built to protect the end cities that survived whatever cataclysm killed everything else.

I like the idea of the end being a corrupted old Minecraft save. The enderman are the old players who used to play on that world before it was deleted or corrupted and thats why they are human like and get mad when they see you. They get reminded of what they used to be. The music in the end fits this narrative too, with it being glitchy versions of overworld songs.

So maybe in the beginning it’s the nether, then a few thousand years, it’s the age where there’s an infection spreading which explains zombies, spiders, and creepers, then a few hundred thousand years later, it becomes urban fantasy, but then a catastrophe occurs and then the end happens where villagers have became shulkers to live against the cold of the end.

I'm surprised the villagers didn't find out how to make Infinite resource farms like the player, it shows that even throughout their evolution, they still have a bit of stupid in them

I've always maintained that you play on earth, the nether and end are earth too, but an alternate reality of earth and your travelling the multiverse with the portals. Endermen are just multidimensional beings; hence, their abilities and for their love of blocks, they horde findings of each dimension for their personal collections.

I like the idea of each dimension being a different period in time, but I think there's quite a few flaws in your theory, so I'm just gonna take your theory and combine it with MatPat's theory. Also, rather than the villagers (or other future humans) mining out the world to create the End, what if there was a cataclysmic event that destroyed the world? Like what if the world blew up and its mass got shattered in every direction. What if The End is actually the remnant of an object that destroyed the world, hence why its made out of a foreign material. I've also seen some theories in the comments that I also like.

I had a theory the other day, and it was the dimensions being layered, which is kind of similar to the End being heaven and Nether being Hell, so the End islands were above everything (heaven) because there is no bedrock under or above it, then the over world, and then the Nether under it because of the bottom layer of bedrock, and bedrock above the Nether. Even though the Y coordinates are the same (and the end isn’t something like y4000000, but I think this still works.

In fact, I think the enderman is actually a genetically modified version of humans. The time theory also explains why both of the mobs in the end teleport, (high tech teleportation tech or something)

We can maybe even see it through the updates. The Nether used to be nearly completely empty and barren, but now we are seeing newer colors in the nether, such as the warped wood.

I like your theory of how instead of different dimensions it’s different type periods you can go through

However, The devs already confirmed that they are all completely separate dimensions, and they may have plans of adding more in the future.

The time theory make a little bit of sense if you see the Nether as some kind of proto-Overworld/Earth, the Overworld as current day and the End as, well, the end of the universe.

Now that ancient cities are being added we know the current day villagers arent as evoled as past builders where as other overworld buildings are somewhat simple (mansions were built by pillagers) I think that its the pillagers and the player turn the overworld into the end.

Isn't it weird that, at least for me, people hadn't realise that The End takes place at the end times, because, duh, it's in the name? Like, I've seen a few Minecraft lore theories that attempt to describe The End and the endermen as creatures from the beginning of time before the overworld, completely missing the fact that the name of the dimension is literally called "The END"

I love Minecraft lore theories. My personal favorite is that Minecraft is a very old world re-growing from some kind of huge apocalyptic event. Hence the very old structures like nether fortresses, bastions, end fortresses, etc. existing alongside newer structures like villages.

since the wither achievment is called the beginning i think the withers are godly creatures from a far off place which created the nether and then dissappear or became mortals as the wither skeleton.

Or it’s the beginning of the cycle of life. Death. (It’s a cycle, the beginning could be any point). Or it’s because you re supposed to kill it after the dragon. It the marks the start of a new phase in the game where you have a beacon and pretty much unlimited means.

If the wandering trader can be assumed to have access to nether for its trades, then stonemasons as well as fletchers(villagers in general) also do, as they sell quartz blocks and tipped arrows(requiring lingering potions, so all three dimensions(rod, dragon breath), unless in bedrock edition).

Some would say that it's annoying.

I think netherite would reinforce this a lot. 4 netherite scrap and 4 gold make a netherite ingot and that ingot can be used to make a lodestone. lodestones in real life are just pieces of naturally magnetic pieces of iron. a lodestone works from anywhere in the world and overrides the compass wanting to point to the north pole at world spawn. that means netherite is extremely powerfully magnetic so the nether would need to be further inside the planet to be closer to the core where the magnetic field comes from for earth. The nether being red also reinforces the netherite being made out of magnetic iron theory I thought of. rocks being red most often comes from a very large amount of iron in the rocks, and the large amount of iron and rock get compacted into blocks of impure ancient debris very far down in the nether.

I'd like to add a bit onto this theory. What if the overworld contains some sort of bacteria that has evolved over millions of years that turns creatures into zombies, but most are immune through evolution. This would explain why the Piglins and Hoglins become zombified upon entering the overworld without having to bring in any weird time shenanigans because their immune systems had never evolved to deal with it.

Mushrooms could be the cause. Mushrooms islands have no mobs spawn there except the highly evolved mooshroom and we see a lot of giant shrooms in certain biomes taht appera to be overrun and overgrown whilst the nether is full of mushrooms. Could it be possible taht mushrroms evolved to start zombifying ancient beings so tehy destroyed almost all mushrooms and stopped people going into certain biomes as a means to protect themselves but tehy failed?

I always just assumed they were dimensions that were in different conditions and different histories. It's kinda why I want to see them add the Aether and Something called the ancient realm

You know, could this be potentially a reason for the End poem's existence? This theory is pretty well made yes

One thing that I think may counter this is that the end and nether seem timeless, with the clocks and beds not working. The advancement "uneasy alliance" also seems to hint that ghasts aren't from the nether initially: "Rescue a Ghast from the nether, bring it safely home to the Overworld" I think "rescue" and "safely home" seem to imply that

@KabalFromMK9

Or maybe, because there is no sun and moon there. The clock in Minecraft works based on the day-night cycle, judging from the look, and since it can't detect any sun and moon in the Nether or the End, it malfunctions. Then we also have a phenomenon of beds exploding when not used in the Overworld. I think it still ties with the sun and moon and the day-night cycle, rather than time in general; Think about it: We sleep in Minecraft to skip _the night_ specifically, rather than to 'accelerate time' (skipping the thunderstorm does not accelerate time if I'm not wrong), and since there are no day/night cycle and/or thunderstorms in the Nether and the End, it malfunctions, too

It would be interesting to me if endermen were humans and shulkers were villagers. Endermen are humans that changed due to eating chorus fruit, and now they take blocks and move them (like the player). They are weak to water because chorus fruit is a water less plant, and I imagine they have some connection to the void that is under the world/end. Villagers being shulkers makes sense if you view end cities as their tombs. Maybe the end is an afterlife after all. In ancient egypt pharaohs were buried with their valuables to take them to the afterlife with them. Maybe the end is the future and their afterlife where they guard their wealth they stockpiled for eternity. The villagers invented a system of storage that allowed them to move large amounts of materials inside, they then discovered they could store their souls in there, and live. When the box is closed I imagine they live in a sort of pocket dimension like a genie in a bottle. Also, the reason the portals are different is because the past is already cemented in time, and by lighting obsidian the energy opens the past. I find it interesting that the nether portal not only builds a portal in the over world, but also a new one in the nether. Once you build the nether portal, it has always existed. Ruined portals are portals you have already built, but also not have built yet. (paradox moment). The end is more tricky though since the future is subject to change (maybe the evolution of villages and appearance of end cities are linked). When you go to the past, it is farther along than it used to be (explains the nether changing as you travel the same amount back from a future point). But, the end is just the end. The end is a fixed point, and the only way for it to change is to change the past (again like how new villages and end cities popped up similarly). This would explain how the portal is crafted. You need the eye of ender, which involves blaze powder (fire of the past) and an ender pearl which is of the future. When you combine them the eye can see all of time, and when you combine them into the portal they construct the future from where you are now. Maybe the final dragon is also the first, as the egg it drops is often brought to the overworld. Maybe it will hatch and the last dragon will be the one to start the race in the past. Also, maybe the ending of minecraft will see the end changing from the way it is, into a utopia due to you fixing the present.

I have had this theory for a while, too, except for the resource part. The new 1.16 nether is also quite interesting, but I think that the old nether is a little farther in the past. The zombification is weird to me, though. I think that the piglins are just slightly evolved versions of pigmen. I do not blame the changing of the nether into the overworld on human-like mobs. I think it was a combination of destructive nether mobs and natural phenomena. Wither skeletons, pigmen and piglin brutes are very related. Both are humanoid mobs with abilities like wielding and making swords. Wither skeletons used fortresses to hide from ghasts and separate themselves from the outside, while pigmen and piglins clump in groups for self-defense and to hunt. (Ghasts in my lore are hostile to mobs with too many humanlike features.) Who built what is not entirely clear, but some individuals had certain abilities, like placing and breaking blocks.

I think that endermen, which aren't really explained in this video, are the remnants of player-like beings. From their excessive travel between dimensions, or across time as you so propose, they are warped, or evolved perhaps, for this purpose. They can teleport from time to time or dimension to dimension. You only lightly touched upon wandering traders, which I think we can agree are able to travel through portals or so. I think the existence of wandering traders proves that we are not the only type of life, and the traders are like semi-future players; they are villagers that travel and explore and innovate much more than we do, as might we do in future. I think they also may become endermen. Also, spawing the wither awards the achievement "The Beginning?", which I think may symbolise that withers are the first creatures. This is a weak point to be honest, but I watched a video a while ago that suggested that creatures' souls and their energy (or xp) could be, and is being used by certain creatures including ourselves for processes. It suggests that withers harvested this energy more readily than any other creature. This also brings the thought that perhaps "The Beginning?" is the player's question to seeing what they could have become, or what they one day may become. Suppose a minecraft world where the wither killed the player, and the player never respawned. The wither may eventually find the portal that leads to the overworld and wreak havoc upon it, harvesting energy as it wills. In this, "The Beginning" is the beginning of the end, or a new timeline perhaps. I don't know where I went with this at 3 in the morning but this video definitely got me thinking.

It doesn’t really work since there would’ve been withers spawning naturally no? Unless you mean the wither skeletons killed the wither somehow and took the soul and stored it in the soulsand, but that doesn’t make sense either because skeletons can’t interact with blocks

This is very well thought out, congratulations

Toycat I left for a while and now your voice sounds calmer

I'll just say this here and now: villagers evolved into endermen, but are starving to death and are trying to find a new home. You see, having two arms is way more effective than just one weird tumor thing, and it's also pretty obvious that chorus fruit are an awful food source. Considering the world is ending and there isn't much food, and the fact that they have fruit that have teleporting capabilities, it's going to be very enticing to make new teleporting technology as well as time travel tech. Eyes of Ender are probably used to go to the past, and back, considering that teleporting through the 4th dimension should be easy if you can teleport through the 3rd one by using your other tech (ender pearls).

It makes sense from an astrophysics perspective. The fiery and lava covered planet: a highly volcanic and inhospitable proto-planet. The overworld: present earth. The end: the remains of earth after it was destroyed by a cataclysmic collision with another stellar body

Question on the Nether-as-the-past theory: What about loot chests in Fortresses? Or Fortresses, for that matter? It could be that the Overworld is the present, the Nether the mid-future, and the End the far-future.

Thanks for reviewing my theory!

This the best theory I saw so far And I have arguments explaining the wither, that stone that has a wither on it, the bones, fossils on the overworld, and another evolution theory. In the far past (even more than the Nether) there were three headed creatures roaming around the world, specially on soul sand valleys because they were so destructive their food started to desapear. So the species got extinct and evolved to be the wither skeleton we all know, the transition between the wither and a skeleton (this is basically the same situation of how dragon flies evolved irl). The others died and decomposed only a few remains are left. Then the wither skeletons drew their skulls on the netherbrick to symbolise their existence. The stone with the wither on it can be seen as the present civilizations knew about the wither but as a legend (basically the same situation as dragons and the phoenix in real life) and that's why it doesn't have as much detail as the netherbrick drawing, because it's a legend I can think that hoglins evolved like cows, chicken and *pigs* evolved irl, due to selection from a third party. Which third party? The villagers or should I say piglins? Piglings can be seen as the, Australopithecus africanus, the first human specie that existed, that would evolve like humans did, the only twist is that they knew how to build stuff, because if they didn't they would die because of hoglins, and wither skeletons. And I now came up with an idea that explains the deep dark cities. The deep dark cities are the remains of Bastions due to all the erosion and all that, a few humans knew and once they explored the ruined bastions they met with the warden, killing most of them, they made a warden statue to warn anyone that the warden is nearby and it should be avoided. That explains the soul items in there like soul lanterns and soul campfires. About the fossils on the overworld, since the fossils are different from the ones on the nether we can say new creatures ruled the world like the dinosaurs did, getting extinct due to some desaster, and fossils are easier to find on sedimentary rocks, like sand. I really love your theory and I hope I got to complete it even more.

i think this is a fairly plausible theory and i find it very interesting , though theres a few inconsistencies id like to point out .. the idea that the nether is the center of the world doesnt make much sense , because you cant dig down past the bedrock floor in the overworld into the nether (despite the bedrock roof of the nether) . its an entirely different plane of existence , hence the need for portal technology . another thing thats left unexplained is who built all the overworld structures ? regarding that , retrogamingnow has a neat video all about his thoughts on the subject that you can check out if youre curious :)

Good point but if you think about more of the video game side, If you COULD dig down into the nether your pc would explode from Minecraft generating both nether and overworld at the same time (At least for most people, and since the game is ran on Java too). And the need for a portal is cause bedrock is unbreakable, There would probably be a really thick layer of it since the nether would be really far into the centre, and how the core of the earth contains lava and has a really high temperature also shows how the nether could be below the overworld. (I'm not great at English sorry if it was bad) I love this theory though!

Nice! I'm excited for this one!

This theory is low hanging fruit. It’s definitely ear candy… but so uninspired. In a world of magic, where there’s enchanted items, spell books, potions, witches, mobs with magical properties, dimensional portals, and a world of infinite size and resources, the “time travel” theory feels so generic and cliché amongst all the other theories out there. Fun to think about, but would be so “meh” if it was true. At least for me anyway. Not to mention that the ending credits when you beat the game directly counters it.

I haven't watched the video yet, to take this with a grain of salt. I don't think the nether is the past. However as far as the end being the future of the overworld, I agree. The end is a cold dimension, and yet in stone looks bleached, which is a sign of extreme heat... Those two things don't go together unless some major event drastically changed the climate. And endstone sure looks a lot like cobblestone...

The End is the moon/space. You have the interior of the planet (which is why travel would go faster in the overworld as you traverse the nether - the closer you are to the center of a body, the faster you could get further away and pop out somewhere else when coming up) the exterior of the planet, and the moon/space. Who thinks the End is heaven? That's just nonsensical. It's literally cheese rocks (planets meteorites, etc.) floating in a void. They've just used fantasy elements in the design of it all.

The fact that there's still history in the Nether too is still trippy. I'm for this theory

So they eventually learned how to harvest Bedrock itself. Then, having raw exposure to the void might begin transmuting soil to the end dirt.

I hope if they ever add a new dimension they make it huge and make it so tools from the overworld don't work there or they work as strong as a wood tool. I think it would make it feel like a new game plus.

Seems like a stretch to me. It's a lot simpler to just say "they're different dimensions" and leave time travel out of it, and doesn't really bring up any problems. There's also the idea that the nether is just physically located under the overworld (thus the name, OVERworld) in a spherical planet, which accounts for both the heat of the nether and the distance warping.

I’ve thought of this ever sense I saw the flooded caves concept. The cave still resembled a Nether without all the red and lava.

Also to add to this theory - the deep dark ancient cities have soul sand in them, which definitely connects the nether timeline to the overworld!

This makes alot of sense especially for the end. The end is the overworld after the sun died out. Thats why there is nothing but a dark void and floating rocks left of the world. Its just food for thought but this changed everything :O
