The Story Of Minecraft’s Deep Dark City

I’ve just discovered my first image of the deep dark city something that i’d heard about but never actually seen in fact i was even more surprised when i was told that i existed in a deep dark cave one so large it’s home to a deadly monster and blocks so alive it’s

Freakishly scary now at first i had so many questions about the deep dark city like why is such a large structure placed underground did it fall perhaps or was it already built there and why are you here these questions led me to my search bar in hopes of answers that unfortunately i

Wouldn’t find i kept scrolling until i caught a glimpse of this theory and then i couldn’t look away the deep dark city was the capital of an empire founded by a generation of ancient builders the city before it sank to the floor of the world was the hub of the ancient

Builder’s entire civilization home to advancements in science and technology sounds pretty cool right but how exactly did it sink this is where the new biome comes into play and let me tell you now this gets ridiculously interesting the city was once built in the mangrove swamps a place with unsteady ground and

Massive patches of pure swamp water despite the swamp being dangerous to get out of the ancient builders believed it was also tricky to get into making it harder to invade and easier for the builders to feel safe by hiding in the shade of the mangrove trees although the

City wouldn’t meet its end from the outer world but yet from the inside one day the entire city was swallowed by a sinkhole and the idea of it actually happening is possible with places such as the mangrove swamps having sinkholes of its very own who would have thought right earthquakes the place from

Minecraft crazy the city fell deep within the underground and those that survived such a horrible natural disaster adapted to their new life rebuilding from what was left until they all died out or simply just moved on but where to i wondered and died to who or what old age the post ended there

Leaving me with more questions than with answers to begin with i mean great sure the deep dark city fell through a sinkhole and that was the end of it call it a natural disaster if you will but i couldn’t stop thinking what if it wasn’t just a natural disaster what if it was

Triggered by something or someone here’s what i really think happened not to take you away from the video but if you’re still watching please make sure that you’re subscribed okay back to the story the ancient builders were a friendly bunch ones who were willing to

Help out those in need by taking in lost villagers after all with an ancient city so big why wouldn’t you take people in and so those that lived in the city were tasked with helping build a different type of portal one that could access a dimension that was yet to be discovered

But not all of these villagers were just villagers a small group of evokers managed to sneak in opening them to a whole new world of opportunity with unlimited resources an obsession with resurrection a new dimension and even a full access pass to the nether with the ancient builders anything seemed

Possible however it reached a point in time that the workers realized time was ticking for their ancient builder friends meaning their experimenting would also soon come to an end but they weren’t going to give up so easily with the access of the nether they decided to experiment with soul sand a block

Believed to contain the ancient builders souls and with the skeleton heads alongside it which belonged to the ancient builders it was with this combination the avoca were hopeful it would lead to resurrection now i can hear you already typing in the comments how do ancient builder souls get into

Seoul san punai you see the ancient builders decided the best place to bury their friends would be the nether as the swamps would attract mobs putting those still alive in danger however they didn’t realize that they never worked a little different so when they buried their friends the body’s remaining souls

Were absorbed into the ground leaving only their skeleton but this isn’t even the worst part when the invokers were playing with these different combinations they accidentally created the wither by being so strong the city was the last thing that could hold it down triggering the sinkhole to fold the

City in on itself leaving the only surviving builders those who returned from mining trips outside of the city but the ancient builders were smart thinkers and understood if they weren’t safe in the swamps it was time to take their business underground they scaled down the sinkhole in hopes of recovering

What survived the collapse the evokers however mysteriously were nowhere to be seen not even underneath the rubble it took some time but those that survived managed to rebuild and reconstruct a deep dark city worth living in miraculously the unknown portal frame that the villagers and the vocals had

Been tasked with had also survived the fall there was finally hope for our ancient builders however the ancient builders understood that danger could be around any corner and with the use of mine shafts creating a network of paths the builders got to experimenting on how

They could build what we know now as the end portal frame now here is where things really take a turn with the ancient builders fully experimenting in search of the end portal frame they began testing two to even four different blocks together scrapping each failed experiment as they went the testing

Resulted in many weird blocks being created with the most intriguing being the infectious skull catalyst a combination of soul sand and what i’m guessing to be another unknown block something that i’m willing to bear comes from the swamp but you let me know what you think either way no matter the

Combination the skulk block was forgotten and thrown away but as remaining ancient builders continued to die out the skull catalyst was somehow growing stronger and even evolving feeding off the souls that died within the cave and spreading its infection until the ancient builders finally realized they were too late to their

Mistake by then the evolution of the skulk had begun evolving from one single block to multiple ranging from the skulk centers capable of sending messages to one another to even skulk shriekers known to pick up the messages and alert each other the infectious block were moving as a hive mind building its own

Way throughout the city it was at this point ancient builders had finally found the recipe for the end portal frame and began preparing their escape although things didn’t go as planned as the skulk became strong enough to not just evolve but to create using the souls of ancient

Dead to form a powerful creature that we know as the warden the ancient builders were in pure panic with an escape so close they thought they were going to make it out alive with even some of the best fighters agreeing to stay behind only to

Be picked off one by one for their souls it got to a point that the warden got so strong that the extra souls of the ancient builders were stored in soul lanterns even remains of the ancient builder skulls were kept as trophies and those that fled to the end never

Returned leaving the abandoned portal that they never managed to finish to age and be forgotten about adding another minecraft wonder of pure mystery and in all of this you’re probably wondering where did the evokers go well if you look closely you and i will both see the

Clues there’s a candle placed on top of an infected block meaning someone had to have placed it my best bet is that it’s either the evokers or creatures we have yet to me and then there’s the disc disc 5 drops hints to what i believe is the

First discovery of the ancient deep dark city and when i mean the first i mean the first person to discover it while mining not falling here is an inside look to what i think is going on in disc 5. it begins with the sound of flint and steel striking the ground lighting up

The entire area followed by an explorer walking in their heavy armor to then catch their breath A few moments go by and a warden walks past forcing the explorer to play music to distract it from coming any closer luckily it distracts the warden letting the explorer run away however the music eventually comes to a stop forcing the explorer to yet again find another way of distracting the warden

And that distraction being mining amethyst which once again attracts the warden to hunt the sound But by the time the wardens found the sound the explorer is long gone building their way out of the cave until they hear a skulk sensor and then the end is easy to predict what do you think happens next let me know in the comments minecraft almost
