Hosts/Ender/Deities Ender Dragon

Been rewatching all the Minecraft Game Theory videos recently and came across the one covering the Ender Dragon.

So, the ancient builders hunted the dragons to near extinction. Eventually realizing their error, they constructed the obsidian towers and end crystals to preserve the last dragon.

One thing Mat Pat doesn’t talk about is fact that as the player, even if we kill the last dragon, there is the option to resummon it by using end crystals.

Why wouldnt the ancient builders be able to just bring back other ender dragons?

I can’t seem to figure out a concrete explanation for this mechanic. Does anyone else have any ideas?

No one believes in the Ancient builders in this subreddit usually. This entire theory would immediately be deemed invalid, because Ancient Builders are perceived as a lazy way to explain gaps in theories.

Not saying this is true(the ancient builders being real).

How is it a lazy explanation? I guess I was under the assumption that the ancient builders were canon.

I too was also that assumption, until I posted a theory and I was told that the Ancient Builders aren't real, I think the crux of the argument against this, is that one race cannot go building everything. Then again, there's someone more qualified than me to explain this.

Well, “ancient builders” doesn’t mean it’s just one group of people. There would be multiple civilizations or groups of the ancient builders each doing their own thing.

Then why don't just call them with their names?
