The Story of Minecraft’s First Creeper…

This is the story of minecraft’s first creeper in this video we will uncover the hidden lore of the creeper enjoy the video the creeper one of the most iconic yet mysterious mobs in minecraft for one even though the creep responds at night along with zombies and skeletons i’m

Pretty sure that creepers are not undead mobs they don’t look undead and a big clue is that they are not attacked by iron golems the only mob the creeper will attack is the player and that is also another weird behavior of the player why does the creeper only attack

The player unlike zombies who will attack players and villagers the creeper will only attack the player the creeper also has body parts that are similar to a pig they also seem to be covered in a sort of moss and seem to have tnt inside of them the creeper also has a

Connection with the music discs another mysterious set of items bear in mind that creepers drop almost all of the music discs possible to obtain we can’t just focus on just music disc 11 and 13. since every creeper can drop one unique music disc it seems that each and every

Creeper has their own unique music disc inside of them and for some reason only a skeleton can unlock it this theory won’t be easy let’s also not forget that whenever the creeper gets struck by lightning it’ll be surrounded by some sort of electric aura and this aura is

Directly responsible for making a bigger explosion and that can even knock a mob’s head off taking all of this in this is what we’ll try to figure out in this video let’s come up with a minecraft theory using the information we have it’s plausible that the first

Creepers were intended to be spies and assassins why you may ask well the only actual proof of this is that there is a minecraft splash text that says that the creeper is a spy it’s debatable whether or not the minecraft splash text should actually count as proof since it’s

Apparently a team fortress 2 reference but this theory makes a lot of sense if creepers are indeed spies so where were the first creepers created the answer is probably the desert temples the creeper is apparently a very important mob it’s even the logo of minecraft it would make sense then that

The creeper was created in a temple where the mob was deemed sacred the desert temple seems like the most likely place for the origin of the creeper if we look at the chiseled sandstone found commonly throughout the desert temple walls there are many creeper signs with unknown cryptic text below them this

Could have been the instructions on how to create the creeper further proof is that there is a tnt booby trap in the desert temple possibly correlating to the creeper i explained this in a previous video my next theory is that the first creepers were made by people

From long ago these people are commonly called the ancient builders since they built the many minecraft structures that we can see to this day the creeper is not a mob that could form naturally not only is the behavior of the creeper not like anything in the

Real world if we look at the minecraft obesity area an official minecraft source we can see what is inside the creeper as you can see a neatly placed tnt block is not something that forms organically i believe that someone purposely put tnt inside of the creeper the first creepers were probably mutated

Pigs the famous origin story of the creeper is that notch the creator of minecraft accidentally messed up the 3d design of the pig and created the creeper by accident it’s such a famous story that i believe it’s the likely origin of the first creepers but this is often the unasked question and something

I really didn’t cover in my last theory video why were they created what is the purpose of making these mossy kamikazes even if creepers were an accidental experiment on pigs why did the ancient builders put tnt inside of them as shown in the minecraft obesity eastiary and

Why did these ancient builders cover it in a sword of moss the ancient builders wouldn’t have made this without a specific reason for doing so there has to be another ulterior motive this is where the theory that the first creepers were actually spies comes into play this minecraft theory provides a good

Explanation as to why they are covered in a sort of lime moss and have tnt stuffed inside of them the reason for the moss covering is to make it harder to see them coming the way they scuttle their feet makes it hard to hear them coming as well and when you least expect

It blowing someone up is actually one of the most effective ways to annihilate someone quickly in minecraft they don’t even have a chance to retaliate if done right but the question now becomes who were the creators of the creeper and who were their intended targets that they

Were designed to blow up and spy upon this is where some speculation is needed the ancient builders were probably the ones that created the creeper as previously mentioned but who were their intended targets my personal theory is that the creeper was created to target you the player the reason i think so is

Because the only mob creepers attack are you but actually the creeper will retaliate against a few other mobs the snow golem and the wither the creeper retaliating against the snow golem doesn’t seem to have any deeper meaning it might not even be an intentional feature however the wither seems to have a deeper

Connection if a wither provokes a creeper the creeper will try to retaliate back the wither was an enemy of the ancient builders and was even one of the causes of their downfall this would make sense that the ancient builders would also want to give the creeper the extra ability to retaliate

Against the wither but anyways where the creepers really created to spy and hunt down the player this would imply that the ancient builders were still present when the first players appeared i will go over the origin story of the player in another video but if the ancient

Builders and the players were both still present at one point the ancient builders probably felt threatened by the player’s ability to respawn infinitely they needed a way to spy on the player and a way to possibly make him rage quit and make him never return or something

This is where the creeper comes in the ancient builders wanted to keep tabs on the player to make sure he wouldn’t be a threat the ancient builders knew they couldn’t kill the player so they spied on him and made sure he wouldn’t cause any problems how else do you deal with

An immortal being if you disagree that the ancient builders were spying on the player maybe the ancient builders were spying on another group of people and both groups have now gone extinct the next puzzling mystery is accidentally shoots the creeper the creeper drops a music disc why are music discs in the

Creeper creepers drop almost every type of music disc this information means that every single creeper has a unique music disc inside of it but why here’s one possible theory what if the music discs are used to program the creeper this would mean that the music discs are sort of like cds which would

Tell the creeper what to do using a cd also known as a compacted disc to program and control the creeper would be a decently effective way to program the creeper it would be like spinning a record player inside the creeper in music disc 11 we can see a

Creeper’s face in the audio file it’s a neat easter egg if the ancient builders were somehow smart enough to cleverly disguise a creeper code inside of a seemingly innocent music disc this could mean that all the music discs had the real job to program the creeper and tell

Them what to do since each creeper had a different disc inside of it each of their instructions are different creepers are believed to be artificial creations so this still works with our current theory another popular theory is that the music discs might also have been used to spy on the player and

Record the player’s actions the ancient builders would have wanted to make sure that the player couldn’t understand their cryptic messages so they cleverly put seemingly innocent music over the files to hid their true intentions behind the music discs the giant hole in this theory though is that they just

Seem to be some simple music discs that play some nice music it would be cool though if all music discs actually held some sort of secret in them but we may never know to add on to the music disc theory why do creepers drop music disc

Only when a skeleton kills it this is basically just speculation but maybe it’s because only the ancient builders had access to the creepers music discs if they killed a creeper they could get their programmed discs back skeletons are believed to be the ancient builders who went extinct

Skeletons still have the power to access the creeper’s music disc if we make the skeleton accidentally kill the creeper the creeper will drop the music disc because technically an ancient builder killed him but again this part is just speculation and i’m not sure here another feature of the creeper is that

When a lightning bolt strikes them they will become charged and then can create a bigger explosion this might mean that the creeper has metal inside of it which would be needed to keep an electric charge circulating around the creeper and somehow heads are able to come off

Mobs whenever they’re blown up by a charged creeper if you figured it out now coming up with a good theory for the creeper is basically like trying to connect seemingly weird unrelated dots together the creepers behaviors appearances features and drops don’t seem to have any clear unifying

Connection at least as far as we know right now but let’s keep going and not get discouraged and speaking of weird behavior patterns why are creepers afraid of cats i’ve got two different theories one theory which i made in my previous video states that the desert temple civilization really loved cats

And made sure of creepers when it hurt them this is similar to the egyptians who deemed the cats as a sacred animal a new theory i came up with is this at night if you sleep with the cat beside you the cat will give you a little gift

In the next morning the drops the cat gives you implies that they kill chickens rabbits spiders phantoms and zombies at night basically the cats act all innocent and harmless until night time then they attack whenever the player is asleep but notice they don’t give you gunpowder this could imply that

Mobs that didn’t run away from cats would probably be killed at night those that ran away from the cat would be saved for some reason phantoms hover on the ground whenever a cat is nearby so they’re still easy targets the creepers were programmed to run away so the cats

Couldn’t catch them at night the creepers ran away from the cat because the ancient builders wanted to make sure that the creeper wasn’t killed by some measly cat that would ruin the mission the ancient builders somehow made a creepers in a way that dogs wouldn’t attack them as well eventually though

The ancient builders went extinct probably due to a zombie apocalypse of some kind even though they are gone the creeper is still here with us even though their days of being spies are over they will still try to blow up the player whenever they least expect it creepers reproduce by spreading out

Spores from which new creepers grow this is directly stated in the minecraft mombestiary the first creepers started out as a pig and in the desert temple they mutated into the present day creeper they were stuffed with tnt and covered in moss to blend in with the environment and to blow up their main

Enemy the player they snuck through the night to hunt down players this could be why we have the modern day creeper the creeper blew up more players and spread throughout the world as mentioned in the minecraft mob bestiary and maybe whenever they explode they spread their spores onto the player and maybe other

Mobs too and those spores later grew into new creepers subscribe if you enjoyed the video
