Loyal Theorists, today I’m serving up some HOT TAKES about the nether in Minecraft…or maybe they’re actually cold takes. You see, today I'm arguing that the nether… you know, the place filled with LAVA and FLAMES actually used to be filled with ICE and WATER! Yep, the Nether had an ICE AGE, and I can prove it. So strap on those snow boots and zip up those winter coats because we’re heading to the nether!

  • I love when MatPat does Minecraft theories. Feels like I'm in 4th grade all over again and watching everything minecraft
  • @owl3503
    I love how Matpat has turned the Ancient Builders into his own OC with deep lore and unique characteristics
  • @sly_cat
    It’s also completely possible that the newer nether biomes could be the environment slowly recovering
  • @sugreF_YT
    I love imagining the Minecraft devs watching these videos like, "Yeah sure that'll work."
  • I love how matpat saw a peaceful game of creation and creativity and thought " there has to be a villain." And got to digging.
  • @DMDrinkz
    Ngl these are probably the theories ill miss the most. Thanks matpat, for everything.
  • Can't wait to hear what MatPat says about the pottery item in the new update with a picture of The Warden on it called "The Mourner".
  • @HoodieHorizon
    I think it should also be noted that ancient cities use soul torches and soul lanterns. AKA a light source that doesn’t melt ice. They learned how to melt less ice but it was too late
  • The nice thing about Minecraft updates is that they give this impression of slowly returning biodiversity.
  • Something that may add to this theory: When you go to the Nether, there's something of a haze effect if you try to look into the distance. Players who have messed around with the files and swapped some things around for them to make a connectable nether portal in the end have created that same effect, meaning that the haze could be lingering gases from in the Nether, since that seems to be a part of that dimension.
  • @undo-oh5450
    Dear MatPat, I think it's sus how if villagers have never been to the nether they sell you netherite and have brewing stands.
  • @jjplum1554
    How about a theory explaining the Ghasts. There's an achievement in Minecraft called "Uneasy Alliance," and the description says "Rescue a Ghast from the Nether, bring it safely home to the Overworld... and then kill it." It is a VERY peculiar achievement that might make an interesting theory.
  • Also, as a side note. The official minecraft novel, The Island by Max Brooks, has a very notable environmentalist theme. One of the memorable problems the protagonist faces is when he cuts down so many of the trees, yet doesn't plant any of them back.
  • @greenz6530
    I always thought the nether was once a better and more peaceful place. The music that plays when you enter feels like calm and peaceful.
  • @Tacospaceman
    Whenever your theories go into the “what is now, because of what used to be” it makes me want to hop on Minecraft and create what used to be
  • @apjtv2540
    My favourite part of these Minecraft videos is how MatPat seems to actually enjoy making them. Not compelled by the algorithm, but because he actually enjoys this.
  • @bossllama47
    Theory idea: How hot is the nether? For water to immediately evaporate, and for fire to stay lit for ever (on nether rack).
  • @funnatopia704
    Another thing worth mentioning: Mojang itself confirmed that the Basalt Deltas were the result of ancient, catastrophic explosions, and that the ambient noises include what sounds like a Geiger Counter ticking away.
