minecraft lore is very mysterious and ambiguous there are tens if not hundreds of differing theories and new explanations for game mechanics arise all the time but above all one question about minecraft remains unanswered a looming mystery that is arguably the most important thing in the whole story of the game let's assume for a second there was once an ancient race of builders like you and i who constructed all the structures we see in the world they made great technological advancements and shaped the world forever with their buildings however they're not here anymore we are the only players in this vast world the ancient builders underwent some sort of extinction a catastrophic event that drove them to be no more but what what could have possibly happened to the superior race of ancient people that made them go extinct well that is the question i'll be answering today however before i begin if you do end up enjoying the video then please consider subscribing as you can probably tell we're getting very very close to NUMBER_TOKEN million subscribers and it would be incredible to reach that before christmas and before NUMBER_TOKEN ends my last low related video attracted NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN unique viewers and if even half of those people subscribed we'd get to NUMBER_TOKEN million in no time if you find that you aren't subscribed and end up enjoying the video and you want to see you were here before NUMBER_TOKEN million i'd greatly appreciate it if you could subscribe i can't do without your help and i promise i'll make it worth your time but with that said thank you so so much and i hope you enjoy while everyone has a different version of minecraft lore in their head there's one main aspect that almost every prominent theory agrees upon the ancient race of minecraft builders a group of people just like you and i that constructed all the structures we see in game while there's obviously no verbal confirmation for this theory it would explain so much and things would just make a lot less sense without it for instance if there wasn't an ancient race how well the structures get here they certainly don't just appear randomly so with an assumption in mind the next logical question is where are they now a technologically advanced race doesn't just disappear off the face of the earth something happened some extinction event that caused them to seemingly vanish before we the player got here and this is where theories begin to diverge to my knowledge there are three leading theories as to what happened to this race in this video i intend to examine all of them and look for evidence and flaws proving and disproving these theories the three theories as to what happened are as follows the first is the creation of the wither the second is some sort of plague specifically a zombie outbreak and the third is some sort of world war or man-induced conflict these are all somewhat different but each have merit in their own right let's begin with the most popular one
