  • @ravynf9286
    @ravynf9286 ปีที่แล้ว +47

    Something I just realized after a year, that has a much darker reality. The fact that you can use the end crystals to revive the dragon means that Jean could endlessly kill her. Which could mean Jean is being killed for her hide to make more Elytra, but as we see when we kill her there is no body to harvest. This has one of two situations, either Jean was revived and killed so many times she now doesn't have a body to harvest. Or the builders built this system killed her, revived her then killed her again only to find that she no longer had a body to harvest. So they gave up leaving Jean to suffer eternal life. But either came to study her later, or as Endermen not understanding why, then remembering why they came to Jean when she accidentally hits them.

  • @thegeeg1748
    @thegeeg1748 2 ปีที่แล้ว +129

    I actually think the Elytras are made from Phantoms, the mob that appears if you dont sleep 3 nights in a row. Not only do their wings look very similar, but you literally use phantom membranes, the items they drop, to repair elytras in an anvil.

    • @2morrowillcome
      @2morrowillcome ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I'm leaning more this way too. Also given the elytras size I feel like it is far more likely they might be more tied to the phantom than the ender dragon.
      I'm almost ready to start a crazy wall to try to pin down the link between the elytras, phantoms, the ancient builders desire to access other dimensions, and why beds explode in the end and nether.... canonically of course, not just as a preventative mechanic to make sure the player doesn't get permanently stuck in either.

    • @sadietabor738
      @sadietabor738 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      You got a point, yes, the membranes fix the Elytra but you cannot get Elytra in the overworld. The phantoms only drop membrane to repair them. Kinds sounds like another theory

    • @Conorator
      @Conorator 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Maybe the Elytra (plural of elytron) are crafted using parts from the dragon wings in conjunction with phantom membranes. The dragon wings are more durable due to the dragon's resilience (high HP), leading to the more delicate phantom membranes possibly ripping and tearing and needing to be patched up. It might be that the dragon wing parts sort of work as the framework or "bones" for the Elytra, with phantom membranes serving as the webbing. It makes a lot of sense, seeing how the Elytra are entirely gray, which is the same color as that part on Ender Dragon wings.

      @@thegeeg1748 Yes, but it still supports my theory. Elytra cannot fully break, they sit at 1 durability. It's because the framework stays intact, but the phantom membrane is completely broken, so it's still possible to repair, but not to fly, since skeleton wings don't really work.

      The phantom membranes might be a part of the elytra, but aren’t the only resource needed, thus ender dragon wings. And you can only respawn the dragon after you kill her. It might be bringing her as a spirit or as a memory.

    • @Username-pz1te
      @Username-pz1te 2 ปีที่แล้ว +55

      I think that the reason you can use a phantom membrane to repair an elytra is because phantoms can fly so phantom meat can be used as a substitute for the broken parts of the elytra and for the fact that you can respawn the ender dragon, maybe the old builders didn’t know that you could respawn the ended dragon

      Counter counter argument, phantom membrane could be part of the recipe and the dragons wings could be the other part, and it could be the reason they are grey, and the way you respawn the ender dragon is the same way it heals, with the end crystals, which the ancient builders might have only discovered with the realization that Jean was the last dragon

    Theory: Jean was left alive with healing towers to kill the wither if it ever entered. She probably even did, the problem after the fact was that they had given her several nigh-indestructable healing towers and a seething hatred and justifiable motivation to kill them. They certainly didn't have the amount or quality of weapons to fight her, and any bridges they built were destroyed after they got away from the entry island or destroyed in her battle.

    I'm not so sure...
    Looking at the dragon, it seems a bit odd. When the dragon dies, it doesn't just fall over like other mobs, it explodes, crumbling to pieces. It also creates a portal to the islands as it dies. And the sound it makes, it sounds like a machine crumbling, ending off with a powering down noise. Also, the dragon heads can be powered by redstone. And while you can't hatch the egg, you can respawn the dragon by using end crystals. If you can just make new dragons, why are you worried about their extinction?
    I propose that the dragon was in fact artificial, created by the builders as a sort of guard dog, to prevent anyone, or anything, from following them into the end. That's why every end portal goes straight to the center island, as opposed to nether portals, which go to a relative spot between the dimensions.

    If they had obsidian in the end, the builders may have made a nether portal and realised that living in the end was safer than in the nether, which may explain why some endermen live in the nether. The original builders who made the portal from the end wouldn't have went back, and probably didn't tell their descendants about it either (probably moving away from it). However, when the endermen could teleport, they found it and a few brave ones went through. Some may have wondered away from their portals and gotten lost, choosing to live in the warped forests, while others may have found portals into the overworld. This would explain why there are endermen in both worlds

    I had to come back and comment on this video because recently Docm77 moved a dragon onto his base in Hermitcraft season 9. Now while that's super cool coming from a technical standpoint. The lore implications are kind of even cooler. An ancient builder society killed by it's own hubris, and then years later descendants start popping up that begin unlocking these skills once again, only to make entirely new decisions with their own consequences. It would be amazing to think of a world where a descendant was able to undo the mistakes of their ancestors. Kind of a beautiful story in the long run, and maybe hope for our own real world.

    Instead of such a quick change of heart, I find it more likely that one of the few ancient builders in leadership position who disagreed with the hunting decided that enough was enough, or ascended to a high enough position to put a stop to the hunting and force the other builders to help the dragons instead.

  • @yellowpie
    @yellowpie 2 ปีที่แล้ว +897

    The theory is interesting, but you didn’t acknowledge the ability to respawn the dragon. After you defeat the dragon for the first time, you can use 4 end crystals to perform a ritual that replaces the end crystals on the pillars and spawns a new, identical ender dragon. With this in mind, I don’t think the player is the one to kill the last dragon. I think the builders performed the same ritual that the player did multiple times, in an attempt to create a true replica of the dragon and undo their over-hunting of it. The first dragon you kill is the only one to drop its egg because it’s likely been around for thousands of years, while the ones the player summons are only “alive” for a few minutes.

      I personally theorise that the respawned dragons are mere clones of the dragons, since they do not drop another egg when killed. The builders were able to make the cloning technology but weren't able to breed the two dragons, moreover I think the real dragon was hostile towards the cloned dragon.

      Considering the regenerative properties of ghast tears and the fact that eyes of ender have enough energy to power an interdimensional portal, I wonder if the power of the crystals don't properly resurrect the dragon as much as they reconstruct and reanimate her corpse.

      Evidence for this would be phantoms come out when you don't sleed and you can never see them otherwise. No other mobs with special proprieties like this come from the overworld, phantoms materialize when they sense lack of sleep, just like enderman can teleport.

    • @fusionfury4437
      @fusionfury4437 2 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      Well the crystals are made using ghast tears, which are used in healing and regenerative potions. Honestly, given that fact, don't know why they don't heal the player as well as the Ender Dragon but eh, game mechanics.
      As for why the Exit Portal remains closed, again, game mechanics. The portal doesn't open until you kill the Dragon, but the egg also doesn't. Maybe somehow this specific Ender Dragon has tied her body/existence to the Exit Portal in order to stay alive?
      The Phantom membrane explanation is honestly rather simple. You can't use phantom membrane to craft Elytras, so it obviously isn't the source (Phantoms also don't spawn in the End) but since the wing membranes may be similar enough to Dragon wing membranes, you can use it as a patch kit sorta like you patch a flat tire.

I mean, it gets ridiculous if you even count-in the Mods that turn you into a literal Fish and let you beat the Game anyway. People did, actually.
      So yeah, this explains that: The Dragon WAS defeated over and over again, it was just of no real Use to the Builders and they couldnt use it to escape.

    Here's a mini theory: Once you kill the ender dragon it drops tons of experience orbs. All of those experience orbs were probably from all the builders who either died while building the towers, or from the ones that Jean killed. This would also explain why re summoning the ender dragon and killing it again won't drop all the experience it did the first time.

      Many issues.
      Firstly, that exp is coming out of nowhere. You would expect the dragon to drop a normal amount amount if it truely got the xp from killing things. Secondly, mobs killed by anything but the player or something related to the player dont drop xp. The reason it drops less xp is most likely a game balance decision because getting caught 70 levels everytime you kill it is overpowered.

Jean has been kept alive long past the end of her lifespan by the end crystals, so when you destroy the crystals and then kill her, she disintegrates - the light that leaves from the cracks could be the crystal's magic, so she is just a shell of an ender dragon, held together by magic
