The Endermen are one of Minecraft's most mysterious mobs. I have a theory about how they relate to the Minecraft story which I haven't heard before, so I wanted to make a video explaining it to you all. Let me know what you think!

    Maybe there's a possibility that pearls grow inside endermen who eat chorus fruit, making the pearls a highly refined form of the substance inside chorus fruits. That means endermen did in fact evolve to have natural teleportation due to their diet. I don't think Shulkers can make pearls because they don't drop pearls on death

    What I heard from this video: “... tried so hard...” “... got so far...” “... in the end...” “... doesn’t even matter...”
  • Would be awesome, if after killing the dragon you could look enderman in the eyes
  • @hemlockolympic
    Endermen are the epitome of the "He looked at me funny" punchline.
  • @famtomerc
    This lore is so cool, but it also makes speedruns more funny. Imagine being an enderman trapped in the end, having been there your whole life, then one day a square dude shows up out of nowhere and nukes your eternal jailor to death with some beds

    Ever since chorus fruit was added, I always thought that ender pearls came from Endermen as a biological byproduct through them digesting and processing the fruit. Sort of like a kidney stone.
  • @tidalbow8969
    In the official Minecraft novel "the end" many things related to endermen are explained, for example endermen pearl is the heart of enderman and endermen cities were not built by endermen but by a much older ancient civilization
  • Imagine finally getting a chance to leave the end,surviving a speed runner and then get transported into smash to be 2 blocks tall

    Enderman: I am the only creature that can teleport Minecraft Dogs: let me introduce myself

    "Endermen are the most intelligent because of their building capability." Endermen: "Yes this is a good place to put this grass block." *grass block literally in the middle of an empty cave.

    I once heard a theory that said that Endermen communicated by telepathy, and whenever you looked into their eyes they couldn see the human's thoughts, which pretty much ended up hurting them because of how incompatible they were :')

    The dragon explodes when it dies. That's the heat that opens the portal back to the overworld when we do it as the player. Perhaps there used to be many dragons in the end, and the endermen sacrificed one to open the portal. This would also explain where the dragon heads came from. They were trophies from kills they made using their flying ships. Its possible the dragons were hunted to extinction for trophies and perhaps elytra being crafted from their wings. They couldn't beat the dragon that closed the portal due to its protective crystals.

    Since you get an achievement for killing a ghast in the overwold that states that the ghasts originally came from the overwold I think that the endermen locked the ghasts away in the nether to prevent someone to resummon the dragon.
  • 21:00 I think the reason why they need elytars is because they're teleportation range is limited and the island are spread apart sometimes. Have you ever tried navigating the end with only pearls? Sure it works most of the time but not only is in ineffective, there's some situations where am island is too far away to teleport
  • @noizepusher7594
    One slight problem with the analysis of shulkers, it could be that their teleportation is random, the simple chorus fruit also never teleports you to a location with no block below you
  • I’ve read a tumblr theory that the reason Endermen attack players is because they’re actually terrified — they communicate telepathically through looking at eachother, and the sounds they make are just the sounds of that psychic phenomenon to our ears, maybe the endermen trying to get our attention. But when they have it — when the player actually looks them in the eyes, they can’t comprehend the thoughts the player is having because… well, it’s an avatar for a human player that’s playing a video game. And whatever that looks or sounds like to the endermen is SO confusing and scary that they try to kill us immediately.

    Enderman: "exists" Steve: "you are being rescued, please stop resisting"
  • @space-eye7760
    Is this why, ender dragon's defeat achivement call: "free the end"
  • @johnclark222
    Endermites are mentioned in the Minecraft official book on creatures and they apparently are an infestation that can catch a ride as a stowaway when something teleports. As according to the book, when something teleports it passes through an area between spaces and thats where the endermites come from. Maybe the endermen discovered that there were other worlds by their copious need to teleport, they teleported, kept going through strange space and then figured out that there may be other dimensions. That is combining your theory with the official book on Minecraft mobs and where they come from.
  • The goal of a seed is to get far away from its plant and start a new one, so causing teleportation if eaten (especially from an otherwise stationary shulker) would be very beneficial
