Game Theory: The Lost Cult of Minecraft Illagers

In my last Minecraft episode, I peeled back the mysterious layers of the Minecraft Illagers. In that, I talked about how the Illagers were looking to build their own Minecraft worlds - from portals to Steve himself. There was something else that I wasn't able to cover in that episode, and that is how Minecraft Illagers relate to the history of what is known as cargo cults.

"Why are vindicators eyes blue?"
Snorted too much lapis.

"I'm pretty sure they're just idiots"
That's not even a theory, that's straight facts

[gwentaylor]

The phenomenon of Cargo Cults is literally the biggest "he's a little confused, but he's got the spirit" I've ever seen

[gtplays]

Let’s just be honest if there was a hour long video of these theories we’d probably watch it all

[defagentanimations]

Illagers: We must do everything we can to bring these people back!
Steve: I’m here! You succe-
Illagers: *So you have chosen... death.*

[Ylaiah]

Have you ever considered Mojang could just say “you’re right” and you’ve just written the minecraft lore for them

[jaysrandomvideos]

Matpat : "you don't put something like that arbitrarily."
Mojang : "we just put that arbitrarily."

[becklangston]

Matpat: My theory is that they are trying to bring the builders back
The player as a builder: *comes
The Illagers: peace was never an option

[GipsyD]

Mojang in a year: releases a book: *The Full Lore of Minecraft*

*Inspired by Game Theory*



Edit, 2023: ....how about in 10 years?

[numbrr]

mojang: minecraft is a fun explorative adventure

matpat: The Lost Cult of Minecraft Illagers

[hiya]

Other youtubers: Trying to pass the 10 minute mark
Matt: Trying to go under the 10 minute mark (and failing)

[jaderush]

Wow, the cargo cults are really tragic. It's so hard to imagine there are people still living so far from the civilization that we know.

[notyours]

Villagers: *Build Beds*
Illagers: We don't do that here.

[Faym]

I feel like the green eyes are a little nod to emeralds, that means that the vindicator has a connection to... *lapis lazuli* ?

[kermitaintafrog]

Mattpat: Brings up Herobrine

Minecraft veterans: Herobrine... I haven't heard that name in years.

[FlorianEagox]

BrUH That story about the Cargo Cults was genuinely one of the most fascinating things I've ever heard. I need to do some reading about that.

[antoniasalinas]

'I'm pretty sure they're just idiots.'

Villagers: *sad huh*

[Conqueror]

Speaking of the vindicator's having different colored eyes, they can spawn in peaceful mode and they won't attack villagers if it's peaceful mode

[williamhills]

Matpat: This might also explain herobrine!
Mojang: [silently crying]

[lacrossestick]

Illagers: We want to recreate the builders.
Steve, a builder: Hey-
Illagers: Violence is the question, and the answer is yes.
