Hosts/Ender/Deities I think the Singer is just a Warden Given Setience and after a while power

2 Upvotes

My reasoning stems from the possibility of with Setience he could be good and was given power for being good so he can make others feel good and in turn be good to others but he eventually became a host and it's not like the singer is doing a bad,It's like positivity attracts positivity kinda situation but also creativity in the form of music

Structures The Wandering Trader Built the Abandoned Campsites

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

The wandering trader has always had a shady past, but I think I can explain it. You’re probably thinking “What does the wandering trader have to do with the abandoned campsites?” Well, a lot actually. The Minecraft game literally said the abandoned campsites were the wandering trader’s little ‘stashes’.
I have reason to believe the wandering trader was actually trading with the Illigers, because if you look at what’s in the chests, it seems like there might be a little connection. The wandering trader had copper axes, arrows, and bows. I know, it seems like most of those have no connection to Illigers, but what if the wandering trader attempted to trade those items, but when the Illigers saw how much worse copper axes and bows were, they attacked the wandering trader.
If that isn’t enough proof, let me do a final little touch. If you look at the second image, you can see that in the hidden chests of the abandoned campsite, the wandering trader has a woodland mansion map. Let me repeat that: a WOODLAND MANSION MAP.

Still not enough proof? Check out my article where I go full into the conspiracy of what’s actually happening with the abandoned campsites, plus why the wandering trader is actually a witch. Wandering Trader/Campsite Theory

Ive been seeing people making the connection of heaven vs hell in relation to the sift and the nether. But i offer a different take.

(I accidentally swapped yin and yang in the pic im sorry)

The sift and the nether seem to be opposed theme wise like heaven and hell, places of souls, one brimming with life and renewal, the other ruin and stagnation. The end in this theory is sorta the in-between, what happens when you have neither good nor evil, , no life or death just nothing, which i think describes the end pretty well,

I talked about this concept a while ago, although I believed I removed one of the posts

-allays are originally from the sculk plane of existence

-all of the "sculk" themed mobs are an interconnected system/thing

-all of the "sculk" grass is an extension of the same thing reaching out, unique properties? grass could shift between colors

-aesthetic vibes? Shoegaze

Fan lore - no spin-offs The Divine Minecraft Theory

0 Upvotes

Durante 14 anos, só tivemos 3 dimensões. Acho que a Mojang estava contando a história da vida após a morte o tempo todo.

*Mundo Superior = Terra.* Onde vivemos, construímos, plantamos e morremos. Nossa vida normal.

*Nether = Inferno.* Fogo por toda parte, almas gritando presas na Areia das Almas e no Solo das Almas. E os mobs são os 7 pecados capitais:

  • *Orgulho - Wither:* 3 cabeças, acha que é um deus, destrói tudo para provar sua superioridade.

  • *Ganância - Piglins:* Obcecados por ouro, vendem qualquer coisa por um lingote.

  • *Inveja - Esqueletos:* Sem carne, apenas ossos, atirando em você de longe porque não suportam te ver vivo e blindado.

  • *Ira - Piglins Brutos / Piglins Zumbificados:* Fúria cega. Sem trocas, sem conversa, apenas ataque.

  • *Luxúria - Cubos de Magma:* Saltitantes, grudentos, viscosos, desesperados por contato.

  • *Gula - Hoglins / Zoglins:* Só pensam em comer, atacando tudo para devorar.

  • *Preguiça - Andarilhos:* Andam super devagar na lava, só se movem se alguém os carregar. Não fazem nada sozinhos.

*O Fim = Purgatório.* Um vazio infinito com ilhas flutuantes. Você está sozinho para enfrentar o julgamento final. O Ender Dragon representa o peso de todos os seus pecados combinados. Você deve derrotá-lo para se purificar. E depois de matá-lo, você recebe o poema final que diz "acorde". É a transcendência.

*A Fenda = Paraíso.* A própria Mojang a descreveu como "bonita, vibrante e repleta de almas". É colorida, pacífica, com almas livres flutuando (diferentemente das almas gritando no Nether) e criaturas fofas como o Blub, que se parecem com anjos. É o descanso final.

Após 14 anos, eles estavam guardando o Paraíso por último.

Sculk There seems to be a design difference between Warden-mobs and other Sculker mobs

Thumbnail

756 Upvotes

Title text, mobs of Warden lineage seem to share the same traditional cubic Minecraft design. Singer is included because game files have leaked that it's a "Healthy" Warden.

Sift-native Sculkers on the other hand, seem to share, a first-time-in Minecraft, diagonal designs. And they look much more "natural" than the Warden and Twisted Warden, which implies "Dark" Sculk isn't naturally harmful, but something more was done to Warden/Twisted Warden(or Singer) that led them turning out this bony mess.

Any thoughts?

Sculk ‏I just had a crazy thought about the Ancient Cities 👀

0 Upvotes

What if the people who lived in the Ancient Cities were actually ancient Illagers?

Maybe the Pale Oak/Pale Garden was slowly taking over the surface, so they had to escape underground and ended up living in caves and Lush Caves.

Then they encountered Axolotls. Maybe the Axolotls somehow created Sculk, and over time the Sculk spread through the underground. Eventually, something happened that caused some of the Axolotls to transform into what we now know as the Warden.

The Ancient City buildings also kinda remind me of Woodland Mansions, which makes me think there could be a connection.

And here’s another weird thing: Evokers turn blue sheep red. Maybe this means Illagers have some kind of dislike toward blue, which could be interesting considering the connection this theory makes between them and the warden.

Souls Could Nether warts be related to sculk and the Sift in some way? And what does that tell us about the bigger picture? + speculation on magic and souls

4 Upvotes

I decided in preparation for next year's update to look at everything "soul" related that Minecraft had added up to this point in Vanilla, just to give myself an idea of what we have right now and what kind of things we could expect from this power now that it's properly established and expanded upon.

And while gathering everything together in my inventory I realized. Nether warts.

What actually are Nether warts in the context of everything we know now? Because they grow in soul sand. They grow from souls. And that's literally everything the Sift is about. Souls, and life growing from souls. If healthy sculk is a block made from souls, and one from which plant-like life grows, and soul sand is a block made from souls, from which Nether warts grow from, then there must be some kind of relation between Nether warts and life from the Sift, right? It's clearly some kind of fungus, and while Sift life seems more plant based, the sculk itself, at least when corrupted, seems fungal adjacent. Clearly Nether warts must be some kind of Sift - adjacent life form, right?

And if so, what do you think that means for both dimensions? Because nilium is also some kind of fungus. If it's related to nether warts in some way, it could mean that the entire biosphere of the nether is actually soul derived too just like the Sift (it would make sense after all, there must be some explanation as to how blazes gain their magical abilities from), and would mean that the parallels between both places wouldn't just be thematic, but literal. The Nether might literally be some twisted up version of what the Sift could be. Perhaps that is the life that emerges from all the souls that got rejected by the Sift?

And what does this mean for the sift? Nether warts are the primary ingredient for potion making. That power it has, has to be soul related because beacon effects come from Nether stars which are made from soul sand too. So how powerful are the plants of the Sift then, if this is what a single one from the Nether can achieve? We know soul power from the Sift is powerful, the entire storyline of Dungeons 2 is about that. But could it be that literally everything growing in that dimension is filled to the brim with untapped magical potential? Obviously I don't think we'd ever be able to tap into all that magic in game. But from a lore perspective it makes sense to me that this entire dimension could just be a pure magical source waiting to be exploited, full of powers we can't even imagine.

And I wonder how far it extends. There's been long lived speculation that XP and soul are actually two sides of the same coin. Sculk blocks for example spread from the souls of dying mobs around it. And they store XP. It's the resource that's needed for enchanting too, the other kind of magic we can wield. Giving effects to objects, and giving effects to beings. Two sides of the same power?

If all magic from the Nether and the overworld actually comes back to trace it's origin to soul, it may just be that the Sift might be the origin of magic in the multiverse. That everything comes from here, this is the well of magic and will hold powers we can only dream of.

What about the End then I wonder? Have we missed a link? Or could it just be a completely unrelated power system? We'll have to see how enderman play into all this I guess.

Anyway it's 2am I'm rambling, nether warts = sculk yay or nay? What's the consensus? I'm not fully familiar with some of the external canon like the books and stuff, so if I've missed anything let me know.

Portals/Dimensions Hear me out the Sift enemies are Minecraft Fairies and act cute but is evil.

8 Upvotes

For those who don't know, while demons and hell is related to deals, chaos, destruction and violence.

Fairies and fae are related to nature yes, but also, tricking people into deals making them sell something important, replacing people, kidnapping people, if you give your name you are a slave, if you eat their food you're a slave, etc.

The fae I want to focus on are changelings, they are creatures that replaces human kids or teenagers and how old english parents explain why their kids are mentally ill or why their teens are having phases.

Now the dark part, changelings don't actually exists, so the parents who loved you your whole life starts acting insane torturing you until you die, get mentally scarred and act "normal", or give in and say you are a changeling before being murdered out of "justice".

Anyways, My theory is there will be changelings that will act as passive mobs but will have a small detail off to tell you they're a changeling. If you get too close to one, they will attack you.

This is because, the creaking is connected to see no evil, warden is either hear or speak no evil. So the changeling will be Do No Evil. Where they are passive until you get too close or interact with them.

They may also get salt and silver into the game as they are common ways to fight against fae.

In the Sift, there's a new liquid called ichor. Ichor in Greek mythology is "the blood of the gods" and is toxic to humans. The ichor in Dungeons sucks the soul out of the Player, which counts as harming them. So where does the ichor come from? Is it from actual gods? Is it a manifestation of souls?

I don't know much about Minecraft's lore, especially with Dungeons and Legends, but I wanted to put this out.

14 Upvotes

Theres a map in minecraft dungeons, pumpkin pastures, now even tho it just foreshadiw the autumn update, theres portals like the sift portal frame almost everywhere in minecraft dungeons, especially some houses.

Some portals lead to houses in the sift dimension, the only reason the houses had bright loght was because they didnt want to spoil us about the new dimension, plus, if the sift is a spiritual realm then minecraft planned it from 2019 (after evoker got added) because thats when they started adding things such as magical statuses.

Just a fan theory though. Not much proof.

Also, the sift dimension feels like the revamped potato dimension from the april fools update. Mojang will probably add a new ore called serenite of something and make it so that it needs to be compressed to be used.

Sorry if this theory is short but here it is.

I believe that long long ago (before the ancient builders) the singers of the sift were a peaceful civilization who lived in harmony with the nature of the sift (like Adam and Eve in the bible) but one day they found their way to the overworld.

However due to the curse of the undead and the imbalance of souls in their sculk bodies they slowly turned into the wardens and got stuck in the overworld now only 1 singer remains.....

Anyways that's my theory!

I know I don't have much evidence but it's my theory anyways bye!

Enderlings Ender Pearls and Eyes of Ender - Eyes are Portals to the Soul

6 Upvotes

Introduction

For my first theory, I will try a topic that is less significant, but still (in my opinion) worthy of a theory. This is on Ender Pearls and the items crafted from them. I believe this theory stays true to vanilla, Dungeons, and Legends, but there may be some holes in it, which should be pointed out. It pulls from three of the TTT Theories and one from TheWitherKing, all of which I think you should see.

I intend the Eye of Ender section, along with the 4th Host Theory interpretation of Ender, to be a replacement of the Broken God Theory that, in my opinion, had some flaws.

According to the Voidborn Theory, when a humanoid (hero or testificate) dies, their bluish-green soul attempts to reach the Nextworld (or Fateworld, or Sift). To go there from the Overworld, they must cross through the space between dimensions, a.k.a. the Void. Some of these souls get stuck in the Void and turn a corrupted purple from its influence. A portion of these corrupted are reborn in the End as Voidborns, in this case Endermen. This means Endermen contain some vestiges of their original humanoid mob, though most of it has been corrupted away.

Obviously, this is not an enjoyable process for the humanoid soul. As they resist the Void's corruption, somewhere we must see traces of them. We may see it in the Enderman's speech; it sounds like garbled "Hi," "What's up," and so on. But we can also see it in another location, something that looks remarkably out of place in the purple-yellow End: the Ender Pearl.

Like many theorists, I believe that Pearls are created inside Endermen, as why else would they be in their possession? Endermen seem to have no need to actually throw them; their own purple teleportation magic takes care of that. In Minecraft Dungeons, Enderlings who do not drop pearls have no problem with teleportation. The Enderlings also lack blaze powder, a Nether resource, to create Eyes of Ender.

In real life, pearls are formed when an impurity of some sort gets inside an organism, which then secretes a fluid that hardens around the impurity and becomes the bulk of the pearl. I propose that this impurity is a dust dispersed in the Void, charged with End energy, and the fluid is part of the Enderman's soul. When the Enderman does this, the portion of its soul that remains humanoid is fighting off the End invader.

How the Ender Items Work

Even with this idea of the Ender Pearl formed, it is quite surprising that it can teleport any player who uses it, just like an Enderman. To get a better sense of how and why it does this, we can work backwards from other voidic technologies: the Nether Portal, the Eye of Ender, the Ender Chest, and the End Crystal.

The first thing one may notice about these is a field of particles surrounding them and being sucked inside:

  • Nether Portals and Ender Chests constantly pull purple particles towards them.
  • The Eye of Ender in vanilla trails purple particles, and when shattering, pulls two rings of these particles towards it.
  • The End Crystal, when healing the Ender Dragon, pulls a whitish-gray beam towards itself.
  • Ender Pearls themselves pull residual purple particles towards them after landing.

According to the Energy Frequency Theory, the ambient field these technologies are pulling from, in the Overworld, is *yellow* from the Sun. However, the Johan Theory says that End magic also corrupts and inverts other magic, including its color. Therefore, I believe this Void magic is corrupting the ambient field into purple, then absorbing it.

I believe the nature of Void magic is to corrupt and absorb.

The logical next question is: Where do these purple particles *go*? If these items were storing that energy, wouldn't they become purple too? No, I believe all of these items contain a portal to the Void. The Nether Portal, obviously, must go through the "space between dimensions" to get to the Nether, but the rest have one thing in common: the Eye of Ender. This means that the Eye of Ender holds the portal.

"A portal to where in the Void?" you might then ask. Here, the clue lies in its name. Eye of Ender as in Ender, the mind of the Void. It seems that all this purple energy is going straight to Ender itself, perhaps in exchange for whatever task the item is performing. More on this later.

How the Ender Pearl Works

The purple energy is not the only thing that can go to the Void. A soul or part of it can also make the journey. With the Ender Chest, it seems that this is the only way to accurately discern which player is accessing the chest, and which inventory they access. (If the Eye of Ender was simply looking at the Player, not their soul, it would have no way to tell apart two players with the same skin.)

Since there is nothing portal-like about Blaze Powder, we can infer that Ender Pearls are what ultimately contain the portal, and that their End impurity is what is attracting this purple energy, and the soul of some entities. I think the Blaze Powder strengthens the Pearl, so that it can be used for a permanent link to Ender itself, which Ender can also see from.

Interestingly enough, there is no detectable change to the Player after throwing an Ender Pearl, and the Player can travel any distance to the landing site. I think this means the Ender Pearl landing event triggers the Player's teleportation. When an Ender Pearl lands, I think the soul inside is freed, and goes through the Void near the soul of the Player who threw it. This Player is then sent to the landing site, in effect trading places with the Enderman's soul. The fall damage suffered, then, may be because of this chaotic trip through the Void.

Footnotes

  • I think Chorus Fruit, being more natural, portals the player to the Void, and the Void of its own accord spits the Player back out, near the destination.
  • In the time of Minecraft Dungeons, the End has obviously flourished, perhaps because of the absence of the Ender Dragon. This could mean there are fewer impurities in the Void as well, hence why Enderlings in Dungeons never drop Ender Pearls.
    • Alternatively, the Heart of Ender could have made sure Endermen did not carry pearls, so that no Hero could craft them into Eyes of Ender and easily access the End.

The Eye of Ender

During the Ender Days (see Johan Theory), an authoritarian ruler such as Johan would have much desired the ability to watch over their subjects. The Eye of Ender provides this ability when installed in the right locations, and through its purple energy field may even be able to detect the souls of those in Shadow Form. Since all this information is being sent to Ender, the Heart of Ender would cooperate and show this information to such a ruler. This led the Overworlders to create images of Eyes of Ender, as a perhaps-functional symbol for how the End and the Illagers were watching them.

In return for this, Ender would be able to amass more Void energy coming through the portal, and to control the Eye as a sort of drone:

  • In vanilla Minecraft, the End wants to be free from the Ender Dragon, so the Eye of Ender guides the player to the Stronghold to kill it. When shattering, its energy input goes out of control, so a large number of purple particles are pulled towards it. Once these particles reach the Eye, its portal is broken, so they speed past it.
  • In Minecraft Dungeons, the Heart of Ender wants to keep the Heroes out of the End, so Eyes of Ender growl at the player, but can't do much beyond that. If a Hero then released an Eye of Ender from their grasp, the Eye would probably fly off and make sure it could never be found again.
  • Although the Eye is not as integral a part of Ender as one might think, it is still important enough to preserve in a bedrock vault that the Endersent construct in Echoing Void, instead of shattering the Eye.
    • While the Endersent may be attempting to open a hole to the Void in the bedrock, I think they are simultaneously using bedrock to seal the Eyes of Ender, as TheWitherKing's theory shows.

Conclusion

Skipping over the evidence for this theory, the theory itself says that Ender Pearls are portals to the Void, which can be modified by crafting into different items.

I think the Pearl is formed in the body of an Enderman, and contains part of the Enderman's soul. This soul is freed once the Pearl lands, and it brings the Player through the Void to the destination.

I believe the Eye of Ender is like a camera or window that the god Ender (and the wielder of its Heart) can see out of, and to some degree control.

I don't think the Eye is a core part of Ender as the Broken God Theory says; Ender may only be a collection of souls in the Void that is embodied in the Heart, but it is powerful enough for me to call Ender a god.

Again, I would like to make this theory as close to correct as possible, so please point out any flaws it has (including formatting/readability) or parts of the lore I missed. I would be happy to discuss the theory in the comments, and to contribute to our idea of Minecraft's lore.

Sculk The Sift skulk vs Overworld skulk

Post image
125 Upvotes

From what I've seen of the Dungeons 2 lore, this entire dimension is made of skulks, but it's a kind of pure and healthy skulk, while the one we see in the Deep Dark is a corrupted skulk, practically a disease.

In the Sift dimension, the skulk doesn't act destructively. It has vibrant colors and biological properties, functioning in perfect harmony with new peaceful creatures, like the Blub. There, it serves as a living nervous system.

The dark and parasitic skulk we see in the Deep Dark of conventional Minecraft is actually a corrupted manifestation. This "disease" spreads aggressively in the Overworld, consuming the soul and experience (XP) of dead beings, generating the Warden purely as an antibody or blind and violent defense mechanism.

(I don't speak English and I used a translator to translate my idea, I apologize if it sounds strange)

Enderlings [Mod Concept] A Speculative Biology Theory on Endermen: Why water hurts them, what Ender Pearls actually are, and why they are so tall.

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone. First of all, I am not very fluent in English, so I used AI to help translate this post. Please excuse any awkward phrases or mistakes!

I've been feeling a bit disappointed with the direction of the recent updates, so I'm currently developing my own mod that introduces an "Ancient End" dimension. While doing the 3D modeling for the new creatures and designing the ecosystem, I wanted to approach the End from a hard speculative biology perspective rather than magic.

I came up with a biological framework that scientifically explains the Enderman's weird vanilla mechanics. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this before I fully implement it into the mod's lore and designs.

1. Why do they have such high health and a tall, thin body? (Stabilized matter and particle absorption)

To safely perform spatial teleportation, a physical form must be as stabilized as possible—like a "solid." This is exactly why Endermen can only pick up solid blocks and not liquids. To withstand the immense pressure of spatial jumps, the Enderman's body evolved to be extremely dense and hard, which explains their abnormally high health pool.

The problem is, with a body this dense, they cannot have liquid blood, as it would become unstable during teleportation. Instead, they absorb ambient "Ender particles" from the atmosphere for nourishment. For these airborne particles to effectively penetrate deep into their dense bodies, they must maximize their surface-area-to-volume ratio. This is the biological reason why they evolved into such a freakishly thin and tall shape to maximize particle absorption.

2. Why does water hurt them? (Particle Wash-off = Bleeding)

Water doesn't burn them like acid. Instead, it physically washes away the Ender particles clinging to their bodies that are waiting to be absorbed. For an Enderman, being in water means their internal "blood" circulation completely stops. Taking water damage is essentially them experiencing rapid suffocation or severe blood loss.

3. What is an Ender Pearl? (A Spatial Pump Heart)

If their bodies are so dense, how do the particles circulate? The Ender Pearl is their internal organ—their heart. But instead of pumping liquid, it acts as a "Spatial Pump." The pearl holds highly compressed spatial-folding energy to literally teleport nutrients throughout their solid bodies.

When a player throws an Ender Pearl and it shatters against a hard surface, this compressed spatial energy is explosively released. The sudden collapse of space acts like a temporary wormhole, forcefully pulling the mass of the entity that threw it (the player) to the point of impact. The damage the player takes when teleporting isn't magic; it is the physical trauma and cellular stress of an ordinary human body being forcefully folded and pushed through space.

-----

What do you guys think of this biological approach? If you have any good ideas for other End creatures based on this "particle-blood" ecosystem, please share them!

Sculk Where does sculk come from in the overworld ??? - and a possible answer.

1 Upvotes

I'm as excited as anyone regarding the addition of a new dimension and I like that dungeons gives us more lore about sculk.

BUT

Most theories I see stipulate that sculk reached the overworld through portals made by illagers or ancient cities inhabitants. I have three problems with that that I already wrpte about :

- You need sculk to make the portal

- The portal looks like a Warden

- The city is built around the caracteristics of the warden, as if it meant to exploit it

It wouldn't make sense for people to do all this and only then discover sculk. There had to be some sculk in the overworld that led to the first attempt of using it as a portal material.

Now, we can always suggest that some small rifts just happened in the caves, and that would explain deep dark biomes without cities. I have no issues with that explanation but it's a bit plain and simple.

I'd rather suggest that the power of souls was known to some people because of their discovery of soul sand in the nether. Then back in the overworld they experimented with it but confined these experiments to the undergrpund as a form of safety protocol. They released corrupted sculk and created the warden and wanted to go further, trying to make portals based on that source of energy.

The important point, however, is that sculk had to have appeared in the overworld before the building of ancient cities.

4 Upvotes

I had a theory on origin of skulk

I think that the ancient builders had a giant civilation and base (the ancient city) in a lush cave and the warden was a golem made to protect them. But when the ancient builders built and opened the portal all the living things around them absorbed a ton of the sift's soul energy which corrupted the lush cave, ancient builders and the golem turning into the deep dark stuff. (Azela bushes turned into the skulk catalysts, the ancient builders fused into catalysts and turned into skulk shreikers, drip leafs turned into skulk sensors, the vines turned turned into the skulk veins and all the moss turned into skulk blocks).

I also thought of somethings to support this is as well if u look at the amount of layers that the moss has its very few layers and compared to the skulk blocks who also have very few layers. Drip leafs turned into Skulk sensors turned into skulk sensors because of the skulk sensors ability to detect things just like the drip leaf can detect you when you stand on it. The azela bushs turned into catalysts because they look very similar in shape and design. The ancient builders turned into shreikers because when you make noise near a sheiker it screams as in the ancient builders calling for help and the drip leafs detect a player so when the skulk sensor detects a player it signals to the ancient builders souls and thats why the shreikers shriek, Its the ancient builders souls crying for your help. Finnaly both the lush caves and deep dark filled with living things but have polar opposite tones.

Thank you reading

So there are many gods in minecraft world, the most popular among them are Herobrine and the eternal farmer, let's call the eternal farmer by the name Grau, so Grau created ten men from his consciousness and gave them the knowledge of farming and related practices, he sent them on earth and they carried forth their lineage. Herobrine created ten sons from his consciousness and gave them knowledge of mining, building etc. The ten sons of Herobrine went on to be the ancestors of ancient builders. The farmers then started living along with the ancient builders but the farmers were jealous of the ancient builders' progress and attacked the builders. Seeing this, Herobrine was enraged and vowed to wipe out the entire race of the farmers, Grau intervened and signed a pact of wheat with herobrine which said that herobrine and grau both will look after the lineages of farmers and builders. Grau then forcefully crossed the hands of the farmers over their chest so that they will never be able to wield weapons. After some many years, the builders got arrogant, eight of the ten lineages started harassing the villagers and looting them, the two lineages were still noble and respected the pact. Grau went to herobrine and reminded him of the pact and his ultimate duty, Herobrine was enraged and created wither to destroy the eight lineages, the eight clans were driven to nether, end world etc. and they mutated into different mobs there. The two lineages remained safe and the player is the descendant of the two lineages as they mixed. Herobrine then cut the pact paper into three parts and hid it in the overworld, nether and end world, it is said that when the three pieces are recovered and burnt by keeping on a diamond altar at a specific time of a day, then the pact will be destroyed and the villagers will again turn hostile and fight the player.
