Minecraft Shipwrecks Mystery

Shipwrecks the number one most useful ocean structure in the game but no one really knows their true origin where did they come from and how are they abandoned on january 18 2018 minecraft version 1.13 was released on java edition and in addition to the update was shipwrecks

They were the first structure to be featured in the list of new structures from the update but what’s weird about them is how they were added in as only shipwrecks and nothing else where did they come from how are they made why do we only see them after you’re destroyed

And who made these ships i started pondering this question while speedrunning the game recently one of the new strategies called hyper modern is when you begin by collecting a small amount of stone tools and wood and then traveling around the ocean in search for shipwrecks buried treasures ocean monuments and nether portals

Shipwrecks have a chance of having an abundance of iron gold lapis emerald and sometimes diamonds as well as having the map to lead the buried treasure if these shipwrecks had maps that lead to buried treasure we can obviously assume these people were pirates i mean that just makes sense but what happened

And why did they just disappear with the only trace of them being their ships did something happen while looking for perry treasure one thing i noticed that could be connected as to why these shipwrecks are the way they are is because of the ruined portals now that might sound ridiculous but why

Would there be random generated ruined portals under water and sometimes near the shipwrecks themselves now there’s up to three chests in each ship coming from the loot chest with the oars the treasure map chest with papers and feathers and finally the food chest now this just is pretty interesting most

Of the time it’s filled with wheat pumpkins suspicious stew and finally rotten flesh this could be flesh from a zombie invasion now the overworld is overrun with zombies at night which could lead these pirates to run away and possibly into a new dimension that’s where the ruined portals come into play

What if because of the zombie invasion their pirates attempted to establish a new life in a different dimension because the overworld was too late for them what if they traveled to the nether and never came back Now that may sound ridiculous but if you really think about it it slowly starts to make sense these pirates love treasure which would be the reason why they search for these treasure chests from the maps in their chests these chests could sometimes have ruined portals near them

And have items such as gold blocks and various gold items and armor for them to be interested in the structure the room portals can also come along with enough obsidian to create a portal into the nether something tells me when the zombie invasion was infesting the overworld

The pirates began fixing the portals in an attempt to do whatever it takes to create an escape and just so happened to create a portal into another dimension But what was awaiting for them on the other side is what i believe the reason as to why the pirates began to become extinct the nether is a hellish place full of mobs will always try to kill you but what spawns sometimes inside of the netherrack will be the

Reason as to why these pirates are so interested in this place it’s abundance of gold probably one of the factors as to why the pirates are moving into the nether out of fear of the zombie infestation the pirates took to the only place they thought was safe

And that was the nether but the pirates are nowhere to be seen either way in both the overworld and the nether so how does it make sense they moved into a new dimension it’s because they didn’t make it out in the new establishment and disappeared altogether or

Maybe they have changed into a new mob piglens are a neutral mob that won’t attack you as long as you’re either wearing gold armor or don’t mind their gold which would lead me to believe that they’re pirates that have gone through a transformation of evolution from the nether and became piglets

Piglets are protective of their treasure and will do anything they can to make sure their gold is secure and safe but are willing to trade a variety of items in exchange for gold which is why the theory has it that the shipwrecks are connected to piglens

Obviously this can be far from the right answer but i would love to hear you guys opinion this is just some fun theorizing as to the reason why sunken ships were added to the game without any background context i think it’s pretty interesting to think that the zombie infestation in the overworld led

Pirates to travel into the nether and attempt to create their own new structures in attempt to start a new world but were overrun by the zombies which is why zombie piglen also exists overall the theory is pretty big but has evidence to back it up providing the

Reason the piglets act in the way of pirates and why gold and other ores were highly valued by these mobs maybe one day mojang will explain how these shipwrecks came into what they are today and where they came from and that is the theory on the mystery of shipwrecks You
