You know how theres allays, and the sculk (which is soul based material), and theres also soulsand on the nether, what if the soulsand are ancient dead bodies being disposed from the overworld, and the reason why there are soulsand valleys is because the sculk was used as a chemical weapon to kill civilians, and if the bodies are disposed in the nether, their souls would get trapped in the nether, and those who drank or are affected by the sculk fluid, but didnt get disposed in the nether, they have a 5% chance or even lower of becoming allays after passing

an addition to this lore is that there was one point in an era when sculk fluid was used for deathrow inmates.

What if ghasts arent 100% soul based, but are actually their own distinct species, but due to the "Ancient Builders" disposing millions of civilians infected with sculk in the nether, the ghasts are inhaling the sculked soul pollution, and then thousands or millions of years later, the ghasts become a hybrid of souls and biology

in an another result of the ghast biology, the reason happy ghasts are craftable, the ghast tears are their sperm, but the sculk soul molecules absorbed in the sperm made it able to mold into a ghast fetus.

it's a similar mechanic to summoning a wither, it contains a memory absorbed to certain things, the sculked souls can bind into things when given biological info

For the overworld, the music discs resemble vinyls, and the fact you can loot them on certain structures, it suggests that the "Ancient Builders" were in ww2 era tech development, but the contents of the vinyl music discs suggests somewhat of a 2020s era where nostalgia is the trend because of 8 bit music being present on what is a retro disc.

Matpat has stated that the Wither is the reason for why the "ancient builders" left the overworld, "becomming an enderman", or something like that, but with the Music Disc analogy, since modern military equipment can kill a wither with no problems (i once tested it with various gun mods), which means the wither cant be the reason why there are no humans present in the overworld, other than a global nuclear warfare, and the elites escaped to the end... but how are the end portals are even made?

For the End Portals, this is from gathering technological info from the Ancient "City"'s portal frame, they discovered the End through the Blue Portal, and studied the elements in The End, and used the End elements to create a portal gate specialized for the End

Tears = Nightlife vibes
Pigstep = Summer Beachlife vibes

The 2 music genres suggest that the Piglin civilization used to be like Las Vegas or Hong Kong, where there used to be that kind of life, which also means piglin baddies used to exist, yeah, that's all i can say

Not exactly a complete Nightlife or Summer Beachlife, the Piglin Civilization may be as similar as human cities

The fact they have 6 legs suggests that they are not even from the overworld or Earth, but probably from an alien origin, how it got to underwater ruins and colonial era ships would suggest that theres an alien ship that crashed, but the fact theres no alien ship present, suggests that the sniffer eggs might be a thousand years older than the colonial era ships. And the fact that we can still grow the sniffers somehow suggests that these sniffer creatures are bioengineered to last very long, probably with alien tech or whatever.

Their specialty of sniffing for seeds may suggest that maybe they are maybe not meant to be just sniffing seeds, but before humans, there were these aliens that use these sniffers, coupled with advanced tech, suggests that the sniffers are navigational tools to look for planets with life or potential life, but due to millions of years, and the loss of advanced tech, their ability degraded to just sniffing ancient seeds

a nether herbivore that feeds on crimson roots, hyphae, and crimson shrooms, a nutritious meal, but the diet is deadly due to the cordycepial nature of the crimson mushrooms that only affects only some of the nether species, which means that when they venture to slightly colder regions, they become zombified

their nature is known to be somewhat aggressive, but their elevated aggression to humans might be due to the temperature of a human being slightly colder, which poses a threat to their being, or it could be the unfamiliarity towards humans (or both, see Piglin Biology for more info)

Similar to Hoglins in terms of diet and suicidal biology, but also eats hoglin meat.

The reason why humans wear gold armor to prevent conflict with piglins is not because you are disguising or not because you are human, Nonononoo. no. the reason is that gold absorbs/conducts heat more compared to iron, diamond, and netherite, and that means one you wear gold, the piglins would not see you as a threat to their biology

the result of their zombification process makes them more docile compared to hoglins, as piglins posess intelligence while hoglins operate on instinct, and can only be provoked when attacked

but that would mean that for Hoglins, they see humans as a threat, both because humans have colder temperatures and humans not being familiar to hoglins

lowkey my piglin and hoglin biology theory is good, but they dont attack villagers, cows, and other overworld mobs

Maybe it's Mojang's intent, gameplay convenience, you would not want Mojang to make piglins attack the mobs you are bringing through the nether, the nether is made for the player to go and do a mission anyways :/

The sculk catalyst is a block that occurs in thousands of years of high concentration of sculked souls merging, how it summons the warden is when it is the sculk catalyst is activated, the concentrated souls, along with nearby sculk fluids, merge together and form a warden

another lore is that these are ancient experimentation of resurrecting a sculked soul, for the purposes of building a strong necro army force, but the experiment abruptly failed when the resurrection process went overload, causing destruction to the facility (the ancient city).

The presence of candles and skulls in the ancient city after thousands of years is due to sculk activity and not necessarily human

the pressence of wool hallways may be a plan by the lab facility before the overload


The "Portal Gate", if it is a portal, it is originally a reverse engineered alien tech from a very ancient alien spaceship that is responsible for the sniffers, it offers transportation from various places, but some malfunctions, such as connecting to a strange dimension by accident, creates the existence of sculk from that strange dimension, and then weaponized the sculk material

The Portal Gate does not lead to one specific dimension, it leads to any "dimension", any planet or destination of any choice, and as of now, the Portal Gate does not work because the technology is rendered beyond inoperable for thousands or millions of years

But if Mojang adds a new dimension, the Portal Gate only works on one specific "dimension", the origin place of sculks, and this is because the portal is contaminated with sculk

(needs revising or more clarification)

The reason why building the wither does it that way is because of the souls in the soulsand strongly reminded it with the Last Hope

The Last Hope are a nickname for small battalion of powerful 3 headed flying robots, powered by sculk, its purpose is to defend the civilization from the sculk weapons fron the enemy nations

However, the nature of the Wither is unlike the Last Hope, as the thousands or millions of years of decay, the souls in the soulsand have became very corrupted, what they formed a guardian, they themselves became the force of destruction, a force of vengence, a force of what is suppose to be good, but has become blindlessly violent

the wither skeletons are animated remains of the sculked victims (refer to the allay, sculk, soulsand lore), the reason why they are animated is because of the emergence of sculked souls and combining together to pilot skeletons, in which what the soulsand valley is also made out of along with biological materials

overtime in thousands or millions of years, the sculked souls have evolved to be part of the skeleton, and the dark pigmentation is due to the temperature of the Nether and how much they are exposed with materials such as basalt, iron (MOJANG, PLEASE ADD IRON ON THE NETHER, IT MAKES SCIENTIFIC SENSE), ash, smog, and other materials
