A Deep Dive Into My Minecraft Enderman Theory

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!

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

[hemlockolympic]

Endermen are the epitome of the "He looked at me funny" punchline.

[figurativeride]

Imagine finally getting a chance to leave the end, surviving a speed runner and then get transported into smash to be 2 blocks tall

[eertikrux]

What I heard from this video:
“... tried so hard...”
“... got so far...”
“... in the end...”
“... doesn’t even matter...”

[serbanstein]

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

[Professor_TJM]

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

Would be awesome, if after killing the dragon you could look enderman in the eyes

[mazzancolle]

Enderman: "exists"
Steve: "you are being rescued, please stop resisting"

[VictorbrineSC]

"They tried to play God, but it was the downfall"
Among the most powerful phrases

[hurley]

Here's a thought. Notice how ender pearls stack in units of 16? Know what else stacks like that? Chicken eggs. What if Enderpearls are actually the eggs of shulkers. Might explain how they were farmed by the endermen and why they have the teleportation effect. This might also explain why endermites are produced from throwing the pearls. They may not be parasites but the larval stage of shulkers

[ScrewBall]

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.

this guy is like when history teacher meets fanfic writer and I absolutely love it

Enderman in Minecraft lore: Intelligent, sentient human
Enderman in Minecraft: “What’s up?”

[likira]

"Besides the creeper the endermen are minecrafts most famous mob" sounds a lot better than "endermen are minecrafts second most famous mob"

[lasercraft]

"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.

Is this why, ender dragon's defeat achivement call: "free the end"

[Gamer_Dylan_]

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.

[nickve]

This explains the endermen saying, " look for the eye". They are telling the player how to get to the End, to free them and their friends. They see the player's intelligence and know that the player is its only hope

[gingerfox]

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 :')

[Akronox.]

Endermen: we've been here for too long... how are we gonna defeat our ruler?
