I have a theory about the villagers using emeralds to pay the players. Back when the ancient builders were still around, emeralds were the standard currency. The mineshafts we find in game (besides mesa obviously) were actually emerald mines. This is why the ore is so exceptionally hard to find. The builders almost mined it to extinction, which is why when they discovered the nether and mesas they switched to gold. Villagers trade you emeralds because you look like an ancient builder and they have such a surplus because of the mining fervor back in the day that the only use they have for them anymore is trade with what remains of the ancient builders

Fun fact, the nether reactor and glowing obsidian were never fully removed. It cannot be obtained normally, but the nether reactor core texture was upgraded along with the texture update

The Allay thing isn't really a mystery if you have a good eye and vocabulary. Allays are the opposite of Vexes, which Evokers use. Not only do they have very similar models, but "allay" and "vex" are both verbs which are also antonyms-- to allay is to help or relieve, to vex is to harm or frustrate.

Phantom membranes aren't what the Elytra is made from, they're just the closest thing you can find, which is why you can't craft the Elytra.

Love that MatPat is called to action years after he already theorised about a lot of this 💀💀

[cardinalhamneggs]

Skip: “The Enderman are suspiciously similar to the players in more ways than one. MatPat, do your thing!”

MatPat: “I am already four parallel universes ahead of you!”

[GeoMonster]

Whenever an Enderman speaks to me like “What's up?” and I answer “I am fine” like nothing happened

[theastroguy]

for #3, my guess is that we go faster because we free more souls, making it so less souls grab onto us and drag us

3:40 if you played PE with your son or daughter back in those days when the Neather Reactor still existed, you deserve a veterans memorial. Hard to believe that classic block was removed. Some of my son’s old PE worlds still have the Nether Spirals in them, a tribute to the block that was once the gateway to the nether.

I'm pretty sure illagers trap allays to study them to make similar creatures but evil (vexes)

[Stanislavisaslav]

Imagine if the enderman are just people that want to chill with you and they learnt your language just to make friends but they are so shy that when you look at them they attack you.

Weirdest thing that happend to me (and others) was on a realm, i found some random bread on the floor in a nether cave, but nobody went in the nether before, some people thought i just dropped it there, and forgot, until it happend to someone else to.
Never figured it out, started our own urban legend, the bread man. 😂

Minecraft Legends seems to imply that Illagers were normal, but their violent tendencies never left, which made them the way that they are.
The reason why they capture Allays, is because they’re trying to make the vex.

As for Enderman, they’re believed to be the ancient civilization, evolved into being The Enderman. Considering the chorus fruit teleports the player when eaten, seems to suggest thats where the Enderman got their teleporting abilities.

I have one: There is a lapis block inside of the vindicator statue in a woodland mansion. MatPat's theory on this was that evokers used lapis to mind control villagers and make them into vindicators.

"This is every unsolved mystery in minecraft"
*Are you sure about that?*

[ContinuedOak]

What’s weirded me out, is in the major texture update, they updated the netherreactor core texture…never explained why, it has been years and it bothers me to this day (I think it was in 1.14)

[Zerolusa]

Best moments in life: marriage, graduation when skip uploads.

If you look veeeery closely at the shadows under mobs, you will see that their shadows are actually made of tiny square pixels.

[fbi]

The biggest mystery is
"I died in the middle of some mine. Where is my stuff?"and "I went travelling and i don't know where am i. How do i get back home?"
