if you read this comment "warden" - เกม
whats your favorite individual structure? centerpiece or one of the buildings??
The small portal statue, because if the centerpiece ISN'T a portal, than it is just rick rolling all people who were predicting it as a portal 😆
The room below the portal
*F r i d g e*
the thing that u said was a house is my favorite the last structure
My favourite structure in ancient city is sauna 1.
Imagine being able to completely restore this with all the little decorations and everything. This would be epic and possibly my new base.
And no mobs spawning! 😁
The good thing with Minecraft is that you can do basically anything you want
It would be so huge, you may even get lost in your base 😆
That’s my plan and I’m even planning to go further and create new corrupted structures
@@subharghyasinha2480 worth it!
Nostalgia from when we thought bastions would take the place as biggest structure!
Bastions are still awesome tho… just in second place 😌
The bastions are one piece.
@@Tortilla_Pizzeria_Pixels Fs 👍
@@GeneralMustyE yes that is true but they are probably biggest in terms of how many blocks there are (not to mention woodland mansions) but ancient cities stretch out over the furthest amount of land
I still haven't bothered going to a bastion because they have nothing except danger. Looking forward to actually having a reason to explore ancient cities... just the skeleton skulls are good enough loot for me
Those camps, looks like someone was living there avoiding the dangers of the deep dark with wool structures around them
Omg
Yeah the illagers. Dark oak and blue wool is found alot in dark oak mansions
@@cherrydragon3120 Yeah, those are war camps
They fought in deep dark and left that combat infrastructure behind
I read those as fabric Canopies over pavilions that deteriorated and colapsed over the ages.
I’ll bet that the Illagers are responsible for the dark oak structures and the wool you find everywhere. Maybe the work of a scouting party, perhaps?
was literally just thinking this too!
The other way around. These likely predate illagers before they carved off their own communities where they then borrowed these building techniques
@@slimegod9693 nicee
@@msiio what is
@@slimegod9693 ur theory
11:15, I think the "sauna" is a bathhouse. In Ancient Rome, they had what looked like a public pool, but was a public bathhouse, and they used fire to heat the stone floor that the water sat on, making it heat up. It's pretty fascinating.
Edit:
13:23, I think that could be stalls for bathrooms. Ancient Rome kind of did the same thing.
Maybe the warden is roman! Ever thought about that?
I love how they used more of the chiseled blocks and the cities look like something that is actually believable of a Minecraft ancient city.
And the dark oak parts give a sense that someone tried to restore parts of it, like there had been other visitors or some of the original inhabitants tried to stay there for a while.
@@evilsharkey8954 yeah. Or that it all is some experiment of the pilligers that was gone out off hand or something. That that’s why the towers look like restructured outpost and the reason of the dark oak parts. 🤔
Can't wait for the ancient cities to be fully finished!
They’re not done yet? Wow
@@Acrozion well seeing as how 1.19 hasn't be released yet I'd say they aren't
16:30 correction: centerpiece 1 contains a D-flip flop. It does not have a timer. Every second time you activate the thing the door closes, hence the reason why the door closed the first time wattle checked - he activated it twice. Other 2 center pieces do have a timer so be quick, but the first does not.
Looking at these structures makes me think about a theory that the city was once perfectly fine then it was somehow destroyed and abandoned but one day someone found the city and repaired it but little do they know of the existence of the sculk and the warden so we also get to see ruined structures with carpets and dark oak that the one who repaired it put there.
That's what I was thinking too! Why would a city with houses and all need "camps"? Those are probably from a first explorer or something like that (I love the implication that the player isn't the first one to find the ruined city...)
“Warden bathroom” is probably warden summon tower or warden maintenance room… created from souls bones skulk and ice…
Dude these are so cool! It's going to be super fun to tackle in survival!
Ya
Ya specially with warden
no its not, warden is mean and unbeatable, what are we supposed to do? they made him OP
@@weneedhim526 Don't be loud
@@aarondowd7346 what if you are
So far my favorite structure in Minecraft yet, they’re really rare to find if you’re trying to do it legit in Survival mode only, but it’s super worth exploring and experiencing
Truly, the community could never find a more excitingly informative Minecraft content than your videos man.
I mean.... Who breaks up an entire Ancient city for the community's learning purposes?
A Legend Indeed
🔥
I've never seen the piles of wool before, they're like the piles of wool in the woodland mansion
Who else stacks wool in blobs? Illagers. And it DOES look like a mini pillager outpost. Because I believe, it was! My personal theory is that the ancient cities were long abandoned… and after a long time, the illagers found the ancient ruins and tried to repair and occupy it. (EX: dark oak logs from woodland mansion and wool commonly found from woodland mansion) But obviously… things didn’t go as planned
@@rovidj8482 That’s actually a really good theory.
The Illagers find this enormous city that they think can be fortified into a new base. Operations to set up base commence, but are interrupted by the appearance of the Warden. The Warden does it’s thing, and suddenly the Ancient Cities are abandoned once more.
@@Hanakin-Sidewalker maybe they accidently opened the portal which may have brought forth the warden and the sculk. The restore rooms could be a symbol for all the experiments they performed. The fact that they look so new compared to the rest of the city shows that this place was occupied at two different times
All very plausible!
I cannot wait to play this! THANKS WATTLES
QUASILORE THEORY:
Blue,light blue and cyan wool?Just like that one room in the woodland mansion...Structures build from Dark oak planks,probably afterwords after someone discovered the city and tried to fix it...dark oak just like woodland mansion and outpost are made of...not to mention the little towers looking kinda sus compared to the outpost...pillagers found the ancient cities......?????🤨
You might be onto something..
@@E.h.a.n if game theorist don't do a video about this stuff imma be mad
@@dacube03 same lol
From your comment, I'd like to think the lost natives of the ancient city was acually the pillagers's ancestors.
Pillagers come from ancient cities? That's why they have pale skin
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'RE IN THE EARLY GANG! 👍
Yoooo
Start the early gang chain 👍
Bring this comment to the top
A fun project could be completely excavating one of these cities exposing it to the light. It will take a massive amount of time, countless pickaxes and perseverance but on the pluse side you'll get all the building resources you'll ever need.
I tried this. I needed quartz for a building. Got 35,000,000 cobblestone and cobbled deepslate. You lied. Not Worth it.
Don't you guys think that finding an ancient city if it's like 1000 or more blocks away from your base would be pretty hard so there should be something like eye of ender to find these amazing structures
They’re absolutely huge, and they’re connected to cave systems, so they’re not that hard to find. They may still include a means of finding one more easily, like maybe a map in pillager outposts or woodland mansion.
@@evilsharkey8954 I wish the devs listen to us
I think the ancient city might be related to the archaeology feature. The developers might have made the ruins to become uncovered by the player. Yet archaeology was scrapped or held back ancient cities are left without a good backstory.
They clearly want us to take interest in the lore. Finding an ancient city where some kind of disaster clearly happened (I'm so amazed by how with just one look to the city you just *know* what happened, that for some reason the sculk took over, devouring the city... it just feels so alive just by the form it takes, like... like mold or moss), bits of ancient technology here and here, the disc, the giant portal-looking thing right at the center of the city... it encourage you to try to puzzle out what happened here, who where the people building and living in those cities, what they where doing... and before you know you're already doing archaeology.
(of course it would be even better with the actual archaeology feathure but I mean, that is/was their plan)
@@lealiloubastian6961 Interesting, they want us to wonder.
I was waiting for this moment when Wattles would display all Ancient City structures and describe them to us like a boss 🔥
I think the camp site and the centerpiece structures offer a good opportunity for ancient city lore that hasn't been thought about before, especially the camp sites. And all of the little redstone bits in the centerpiece area is interesting too because of the fact that it could also expand possible portal lore.
Oak wood and blue wool... where do we see that again??? 🤔🤔
Oh right, woodland mansions
This is high quality content and I love it! Keep it up
Who else stacks wool in blobs? Illagers. And it DOES look like a mini pillager outpost. Because I believe, it was! My personal theory is that the ancient cities were long abandoned… and after a long time, the illagers found the ancient ruins and tried to repair and occupy it. (EX: dark oak logs from woodland mansion and wool commonly found from woodland mansion) But obviously… things didn’t go as planned.
Yes and I also think it makes sense that the taller ruins look like outposts it probably means that the pillagers took inspiration and used them as a blueprint of sorts
I appreciate the in-depth breakdown of the ancient cities! Good to know how these are put together and where parts contain the loot.
Will definitely be bookmarking this video to reference once 1.19 drops.
Wow this is amazing! I’ve been wanting to deconstruct the city myself ever since the update came along but I haven’t found time. I find the city absolutely fascinating, trying to find out more about it and learn about possible lore for it. Thanks for uploading this, I’m looking forward to your future vids 😁
this is really cool, I would love to see this for other structure like end cities, nether fortresses, and villages and stuf
Can't wait till the actual update. You are my main info outlet for this update thank you so much
Fun fact "small statue" oficial Minecraft file name used to be "small portal statue" but mojang quickly changed it to "small statue" in the next snapshot this could be a huge hint that the "central piece" is infact a portal to the 4th dimension
3:07 A building that resembles an Outpost, as well as blue wool. Both of these features are related to Illagers. Hmmm, that could impy that the Illagers either built these cities or tried to repair them. The lore thickens!
No it can't be
The don't have the technology
Or they attenpted to take it over
They must have discovered it and repaired it
No. Rather I feel that they once explored the cities but realized how dangerous it was and abandoned them. That’s why the wood parts look kinda out of place.
This was pretty cool to see. Thank you for taking the time.
It seems to me that the illagers built the ancient cities. There are so many similar things with illager buildings and the ancient city like min-outposts, the use of dark oak wood, piles of blue wool. Or maybe the illagers find the ancient cities after they were abondoned and and tried living in them.
10:55- 11:15 is the humor that made me commit and love watching all your videos
The Sauna rooms of the ruins make me think of Roman bathhouses. The big ones had 4 rooms; one at the entrance, where the bathers stored their clothes (apodyterium), a warm room (tepidarium), a heated bath (caldarium), and a cold bath room (frigidarium). Neat to see where the Mojang crew took inspiration from, but I cannot lie.... _the lore questions are FREAKING KILLING ME!!_
I had an idea about a cool unique loot that's guaranteed people would want, maybe an exclusive extinct tree that can be found in an ancient city. Idk what it would be called or anything but imagine a tree that doesn't grow anywhere but you can find a seed/sapling in the city as ultra rare loot. Like maybe 1 per 10 cities or something. This tree could have special wood properties, maybe skulk coloured planks or something also but I feel it would be awesome for something like that.
Hey, I just wanna say I really enjoy the content that you make and I find a lot of what you talk about very interesting and fun at the same time! ^^
Barracks. Camps. Ice Box. Really feels like the ancient city was constructed to be a sort of outpost for warriors before becoming infested with the volatile sculk. I feel like this is also somewhat true, given that in DISC 5 we hear marching in the beginning, like an army patrolling or advancing to battle.
I’ve been waiting for the Deep Dark update for so long. I’m so hyped it’s finally almost here. I’m so glad they decided to work on the deep dark more and polish it so that it is the best as it can be.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU literally I have been trying to restore an ancient city by hand and without reference material other than the buildings in my one world and cross referencing them with eachother but now I know what they look like exactly!!!! And I wasn't even that far off on most of them!!! Thank youuu
oh thats an awesome project!! good luck
@@wattlesplays thankssss!!!
I like your vids keep up the good work:)
This will help me build my own city, thank you!
I guess this will help me know how to build one. Lol! Thx Wattles!
Now I finally know where the entrance is
The centre piece with the food is my favourite but I'm also really liking the ability to through the lever and keep the doors open.
1:57 that little laugh is so cute omg ^^
with the combination of the wool and dark oak wood being in the ancient city and woodland mansion, I think the ancient city used to be owned by the pillagers; and a sculk exclusion zone appeared when they unleashed the warden from the portal in disc 5.
ah maybe the stalls (i think it was tall ruin 2) that wattles shows might have been ravager stables as in the disc there is loud marching that resembles ravagers footsteps, and there isn't really another structure like it.
there's some points that it isn't owned by pillagers
1. the dark oak structures doesn't match the aesthetic of the ancient city
2. it's out of place
3. the pillagers aren't ancient they're modern
4. pillagers can't use redstones
so i have another theory the pillagers raided the ancient city and died because of the warden
I like the "Red stone research facilities" inside the shrine portal looking thing.
i just now realized the wool colors used in these cities are the same ones as in steve's outfit 8:18 .... HMMMMMMMM🤔
After I found my first Ancient city and cleaned it out in survival (not as hard as it seems, just requires patience, especially when there are clusters of skulk shriekers inside the larger chamber structures, and there’s always at least one of the damn things), the next thing I did was pop into creative and repair the tall ruin, the one that looks like some kind of watchtower and then set about restoring the rest of the city. This video, with all the structures in their pre-skulk states, is exactly what I was looking for. My city didn’t have the camps, icebox, shorter of the tall ruins, awesome wall, or the sauna, but it was absolutely massive! The entrance restores beautifully. The walls often don’t line up right, so there’s a little fudging to fix them up. I wish there was a pre-destroyed version of the wall section with stairs. There’s an interesting arrangement of blocks next to it that I’ve been trying to make sense of.
How did you spawn all these structures to show them off? I’d love to make my own reference city for my restoration project. I play in Java.
The next ancient city project will be converting skulk into moss and vines for a much healthier looking ruin.
The Sauna structure so reminds me of ancient Roman baths! I can’t wait to find one in game
Thanks for sharing !
I was totally stuck trying to figure out an icebox that wouldn't stop generating wardens every time I got near it because of a screamer inside and the iron door was hidden by sculk. This got me through that, so thanks much!
8:50 Wool blocks sound in minecraft, so the wool walls were placed for the inhabitant's safety from the Sculk. The camps were never originally built with the city before the arrival of the Sculk, but were crudely made after.
So I got some conclusions
This is a very evolved structure, very huge, complex loot table and some secret works with redstone bellow the centerpieces. Maybe the sculk infection happend from excessive experiments with sculk (such experiments as the redstone)
Also maybe there is something constantly destroying the ancient cities, every time they reform something, maybe the sculk or the warden, or even both. As someone else said, maybe pillagers got there to reform, which explains the dark oak and colored wool
Man, this update is gonna be so much fun. It's probably gonna kick my butt because I haven't played Minecraft in *ages* but oh boy will I have a good time.
Wattles your videos are amazing.
I was trying to build this along time ago, and now this FINNALY comes out… let’s go I can build it now.
It's very cool, I wonder what it looks like when it's not ruined?
The disc 5, you don't think the person in that disc made the camp only to abandon it do you?
If they found out about the warden the hard way, yes. I mean, pillagers and illagers aren’t exactly quiet. “Hm!” “Herrm”
This might just be the prime, the pinnacle even of Wattles' humor in this episode
Im laughing every other second Watl :]
Anyone else kinda want there to be a Nether Portal generation in the city? They use basalt and soul lights, but there's no reference to the nether there at all. Some kind of link between the skulk and the warped forest maybe? Find a ruined portal in the nether and fix it to be transported into an ancient city?
it has nothing to do with nether, it's "soul" fire, the sculk mostly probably is souls
There's something within the colors of the wool that shouts "Steve."
I'm starting to think that maybe the 'ancient builders' weren't the ones who made and/or inhabited these places. The cyan and blue wool, paired with dark oak wood points to the woodland mansion in my mind.
Same thought. Its too obvious.
Maybe the ancient builders Made the city. The city decayed over many years and was eventualy found By the illagers who were trying to repair the place. When it was too dangerous to be around the Warden they went back to their mansion
Theory: All of the soul fire in the center of the city is actually for the Warden. Because of his extremely sensitive hearing, everything disturbs him. Perhaps he uses the soul fire as some sort of white-noise to block out every other little sound.
I've started 3 days ago to rebuild the ancient city... I must be crazy.
Thanks for the video... It will help.
Oh end when I finished it, I will start to gid the ancient city out, o I have it on my map.
11:07 We've all done it...just don't let go of shift above the void...
It’s interesting to see the quick repairs made by the darkoak
What do you think about about this logic:
Enchantment orb + rotten flesh + soul = sculk
Sculk + too many ench. Orb. = Sculk sensors
Sculk + skeleton bones = sculk catalist
Sculk catalist + sculk sensors = sculk shreker
Wardens heart is made up of sculk shreker(sonic boom relates to sound produced by shreker) ears out of sensors and rest body with sculk.
According to my lore... Enchantment orbs follow players because they can detect sounds. Pillagers somehow managed to trap these in bottles. And now somehow they figured to trap them in rotten flesh itself.
sauna was totally my favorite. it was fun to try to repair in creative. the only confusing thing is what the heck the roof looked like. luckily we now have a structure that has a roof so we could likely base it off of that
While exploring the Ancient City in Bedrock I found something that kind of looked like a grave for the warden
Yeah, it looks like a tomb, I know what you are talking about. Don't think it's for the warden though 👀
@@litbrickpics dude im scared
@@andrewlaskas5945 oh, just see it in survival... While a warden is chasing you.... With cave noises, WITH THE DARKNESS EFFECT--- ok, I'll stop 😆. But really, ancient cities turned out extremely well so far 👍
@@litbrickpics yeah it just looked like it was for the Warden or what was alive before it became the Warden
I explored the ancient cities in creative mode (bedrock), and I basically tried a bunch of different ways to “summon” the warden, once I killed one warden, another would pop up, idk if this is just because I was in creative but man I was NOT happy to try to build a base then the warden crawls up 😭
Thats was pretty cool
Going back to this because of the new armor trims, I wanted to point out a few things. First, the barracks are not the only structure with a skeleton head. The medium pillar also has one on the back. Second, for the tall ruins (the watch towers), I recommend towering up with wool instead of using the ladders, as ladders make noise and can set off shriekers. Finally, for the 2nd center piece, you do not have to eat the god apple. It requires a sound level of 8, so you can eat any food at that exact spot, or shoot an arrow there to activate it
11:25 These if i guess correct are meant to resemble roman baths where there is a cold tub and a warm tub, those rooms to the sides are probably manipedi rooms.
I like how the developers keep leaving hints for how less obvious mechanics work, like these redstone circuits and the abandoned nether portals and the frequent depictions of withers, so that a player who lives under a rock would be able to discover them on their own just by exploring.
I think Chamber 1 kinda looks like the warden rib cage, like what if you took some of these structures like the chamber and the statue and made a warden out of their outlines. Just a thought :)
Ancient Chamber Icebox Portal Ruin Sauna Tower Wall 17 w/ The Basement Bird's-Nest Loot Ritual Warden's Chest Centerpiece
I'm interested in the design of the Ancient City redstone room. I know redstone is pretty old news but using the sculk catalyst kinda got me interested again.
This is fantastic bc im trying to build a mini ancient city!
omg good luck!
I think you should be able to really rarely find diamond blocks scattered randomly under the carpets in the walls to make you want to stay longer that’ll also pose a risk in breaking the carpets
eh
I can't wait to explore the ancient city when completed. It will be an absolute masterpeice, speaking of a masterpeice, reminds me of wattles. Hm.
A new video idea: Restore/Rebuild the Ancient city in either survival or creative, watching it in survival would be fun tho
The tall structure you like in Chamber #1 reminds me of the Wardens ribcage. Just with no blue soul wisps stuck behind it.
i love the mini portal thing
this is so freaking cool!!!
On a serious note did you recreate this or did you pull it from somewhere hahaha love ur vids !!!!
It'd be super helpful if you could do this for all the generated structures!
Also warden
Bro I always love your Olive Garden music 😎
Im a huge fan bro love the content... Just thought i'd give ya a heads up spectator mode available on bedrock... But i play on console and "gamemode 6" has been intergrated for xbox bro.. its smooth and the ancient city has been updated as well with the dark oak and blue and light blue wool.... Anyway much love bro
The lote implications are endless. The difference between the end cities and the strongholds are stark. The end cities are about luxury and leisure, shown in the SAUNA. Actually a sauna. Meanwhile, the strongholds are about survival and fortitude, shown in the various prisons and confusing hallways. It's really hard to tell which one came first, but id have to say they made the cities first, escaping from the overworld horrors, and then by the time they finished experimenting with skulk they moved to the stronghold to escape their creations.
And then designed/found the end portal, went through it and were killed by the dragon.
can you go over them in closer detail? I've been wanting to build it in a non-damaged way, but I can't seem to get it to load them with Structure Blocks
I absolutely loved the corner ruin you said maybe they're blind 😂😂😂
notice how the damage is particular to the outpost structures, almost as if something massive hit it
That Dark Oak stuff is where the Illagers have come exploring the ruin
My theory is that illagers discovered the city very ruined and tried to repair it using dark oak wood, since the outposts and mansions are also made of dark oak wood
I don’t know why but I was eating cereal while watching this and I spit milk everywhere because of the way you said, Yikes… 6:27
Fun fact- according to the /locate command, ancient city itself is a structure, because you can't find it in /locte biome or /locate poi, its only found with /locate structure.
Camp 1 in the wool pile has a burnt out campfire in it for some reason
Wattles: describes ancient cities
Me, wondering about the lore behind it while still watching the video so I know how to route ancient cities when 1.19 comes out: *furious note scribbling*
I just found the second and third camp structures today after seeing the first in another world and I had no clue what they were, so I looked it up and here we are!
