I hope you all enjoy this video

imagine if the warden, as terrifying as it is, is supposed to be a low level mob compared to what could be in that dimension. skulk sheep would be dope tho

i feel like there is one more thing that points to it being a portal: the soul fire. all kinds of dimensional travel in minecraft are shown to require sources of heat.

This is a really grounded theory that I can definitely buy into. Having the Warden as a warning… that’s a power move.

Post dragon boss... that could be an interesting idea actually. The portal requires the dragon egg to be opened? I feel like that would finally give a use to the dragon egg after all these years... a key to the actual big bad evil guy. The dragon was only the beginning.

Or as a stark contrast, you have to tread through a very _dangerous_ biome to get to a very _peaceful_ dimension. In order to get there _easily_ though, it would be useful to get _rid_ of all the skulk around the portal first, which would _definitely_ be a challenge.

DOOOOOOOOOD. Your ability to draw conclusions from the information to hand, and weave the story into your expose is fantastic. first of your videos I've seen. Not the last.

When I heard the metal footsteps I came to the conclusion that it was an army as well! I'd like to add that the sound that plays after the army is almost like the warden emerging from the portal, and the cut to music directly after that could be a third party trying to censor the sounds of the warden killing that army.

This is criminally underrated! Amazing editing!

Give this man a standing ovation for adding so much effort into his videos, definitely recommend watching his Reverse Manhunt Series.

that portal transition at the start was sick as hell!!!!

I'm so excited for a challenging dimension that pulls out the horror element of Minecraft and utilizes it's full potential. I'm really hoping that the darkness thing you mentioned comes to fruition, i.e. torches may give off way less light (or none at all, perhaps you'll need soulfire torches? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ). The "fear of the unknown" is extremely powerful, and I'm hoping for a dimension that is difficult to to take control of. For example, you can get to the point where the nether and end pose littlw to no threat, with the sparseness of the end and enclosed nether highways protecting you from danger (and prot 4 armor as well that makes almost any encounter trivial). I'm hoping this dimension will be very difficult to ever feel "comfortable" in, because that element of insurmountable dread despite all precautions is something we haven't really seen in Minecraft yet, and something thay could really push the game's meta forwards.

mojang already stated that they don't plan on adding any dimensions until they've fleshed out the existing ones. If i had to guess, I'd say that they'll update the end on 1.20 or 1.21 and then introduce this dimension on 1.22 or 1.23, using a new mechanic from the end update to light the portal

Creepy, kind of interesting, but perfectly done video! I like the idea of an ancient civilization that had to take on something alien, but unfortunately failed. I just think it's awesome how Mojang is doing more for story telling.

In regards to the point of Mojang warning players before letting them dive head-first into danger, something a lot of people were pointing out about the Recovery Compass is that it seems counterintuitive to have it located in the (current) most dangerous place in the game since the players going to these locations are probably not the type to die often. You also hear a lot of players complaining that having the item in such a difficult location renders it useless because dying with it makes it totally worthless in leading you to your inventory, but what if the point isn't to carry it with you or even to take it to your spawn on the surface. Rather, Mojang intends on players crafting the Recovery Compass and LEAVING it in the Deep Dark, so that when they go through to the Otherside, they have a means of retrieving their inventories from whatever dark forces lie on the Otherside... Also, ever since the release of Disc 5 I've been referring to the dimension through the portal as "The Otherside" because, if it's meant to be a sort of spirit realm that all magic originates from, and the portal itself is fueled underneath by soul flames, it makes sense when listening to Disc 5 how you can hear a player enter the portal, followed by somewhat peaceful music: Music that sounds *eerily* similar to the music disc "Otherside". Not only this, but looking at the coloration on the Otherside disc also hints at this, since it contains three colors: Lime green to represent the Overworld, Light blue to represent the Otherside, and a cyan-turquoise tying the two together, just like the cyan coloration of the sculk residing around the only connection between the two dimensions... And one more detail that wraps my theory up: Isn't it weird how whenever souls exist in the game, it's always through means of *escape* rather than being a natural occurrence. Like how using soul speed causes little souls to emit from the soulsand or soil walked upon, or how an upwards bubble column is formed by souls escaping the soul sand beneath the water. These souls can be contained within a flame, as can be seen with soul lanterns, torches, and campfires, but the fact that they typically only surface due to player interaction states that they have to be willed into escaping this underlying dimension. Another odd detail about that comes from sculk catalysts, which seem to tie a direct parallel between XP and Souls, since killing a mob near a catalyst will cause their XP to be absorbed and contained within a secondary source (the sculk blocks) and the catalyst releases one lone soul when activated... Again, it seems like a weird parallel that the ONLY place in the game that seems to directly connect the XP and souls into one thing also happens to be the center color of the Otherside disc, with again, Lime Green (XP/Overworld) and Light Blue (Souls) being the two colors it connects. The Otherside disc is 100% foreshadowing the new dimension, without a doubt, so I guess until we get that new dimension we can just keep theorizing!! Keep up the awesome videos, as I would LOVE to hear more of your takes on the lore of Minecraft!!

If the end is just the beginning and the warden is just a warning mob, imagine what the boss of the new dimension will be.

If the warden is the “warning” then this new dimension must be terrifying! I’m excited to see what they come up with :0

smiling warden is the creepiest thing i've ever seen in minecraft. even more terrifying than the regular warden

This is pretty random, but what if the dimension isn't really a dimension but instead a unimaginablly massive entity? Like the fact the portal is shaped like a mouth of a creature, waiting for a soul to walk in, to feed itself, also isn't it weird that sculks consumes experiences to grow?

I feel like the way to activate the portal has to do with something dying, prob like a death of a entity near the portal lights it or something, could be a interesting way to activate it

I feel like maybe the Warden is considered beyond just ‘undead’ or something, or maybe it is undead from a lore perspective and they removed that so it had no weakness to smite.

I think it's obvious by the design and placement of the warden that he's not supposed to be a "defeatable" boss but more so a protector of the portal.

''Carefully traverse the new area''

You know, the sculk reminds me of the upside-down from "stranger things". Like how the warden is blind and really dangerous just like the demogorgan. And the sculk itself is like if there was a gateway to the upside down and the vines and the weird grass that grows has made its way to the over-world, we shall agree the dimension will be like the upside-down

The metal sound could also be some sort of redstone iron machine maybe used to fight the boss, but it backfired because of beeing infected by sculk. I say that it could be a redstone machine because of the fact that under the portal you can find experiments with redstone and sculk and idk, i tought of that hearing the audio, it could also be a army but maybe a army of redstone robot like creatures.

Oh wow this video is extremely well made! I love the animations, they just feel so seamless and help the flow of the video.

What the hell? This was so bloody good! Love it! Love love loved it! Honestly, This is the first video I've seen from you and I alright can tell you are criminally underrated! Also thank you for the Nightmares you have given me by that ending XD

Sculk grows when experience is dropped near it, so could the soldiers have died en masse through the portal, and being supercharged by the hordes of exp, the sculk poured out the portal and into the city, creating the warden and having it kill off the rest of them?

There is one thing that bugs me in one part of disc 5. There's this strange creature sound in one part of the disk. It sounds like a weird bird monster screech, and it does not sound like any creature in minecraft. I have a theory that the warden, as dangerous and scary as it is. Is actually a low-level mob, and there are more powerful and bigger creatures living in the deep dark dimension, and the creature that made this sound is one of them.

Really great work on the video! Enjoyed the thoughts and speculation!

I personally fully agree on your theory, however, the part where the soldiers went through the portal an never came back is a minor question. Since the barracks were outside of the portal, it may be safe to say that something either went in or came out of it. However, if we take a closer look at what was going on at the time, we might get a chance to understand the reason of the barracks' existence. We already know that skulk grows from skulk catalysts, right? We also know, that perhaps the portal will lead us to the warden's "home", following the information of Disc 5. We know the warden is made of skulk. Following that theory we could say this: whoever was in the barracks had 1 purpose, to defend and protect the ancient city. The warden does not have any building properties, meaning the city was not made after the warden, but instead the people living there made it, seeing him as some sort of god. The reason the soldiers marched, was because they were heading near the portal, not into it, but surrounding it, in order to protect the people living there. They new something we did not about the warden, but had not understood the warden's capabilities until it was too late. When the warden arrived through the portal, he took over the city, and killed everyone and everything, meaning all the skulk everywhere, was from the people that were faced by the warden. That could also explain why we call it an "ancient city" and not "ruins", as the people living there, were the only ones who were gone, while the city still served its purpose: to be a shrine towards the warden. We could also understand from the normal ruined portal, from the nether, that the portals were way more fluent, and both blocks and entities could go through them, meaning the skulk arrived before the warden, which warned the citizens, to leave. However, they lived deep down, in the depths of the world, and had no choice, so instead they chose to fight back. I hope this may have of helped, pls like if yes, i rlly want people to notice other points of view. P.S. The fact that the skulk and warden had entered the ancient city, means, that the city became the way the warden "sees" his own dimension, meaning when we cross that portal, we will just find more cities, similar to that one, who praised the warden as some sort of god.

COMPLEMENTS TO THE CHEF FOR THIS EXTREMELY WELL EDITIED CONTENT

it makes sense considering how the 1.18 music disc (otherside) is titled, well.. "otherside", possibly reffering to the 1.19 ancient city center structure / portal of which we're not sure what lurks on the otherside (hence the name of the disc).

Of all this, I never thought about the possibility of a completely dark dimension, nor the connection of the barracks. Very interesting.

I hope the new Dimension is as spooky as the Ancient Cities, Horror is my life, it's like my equivalent of water, and I try my best to add a horror element, or at least Creatures to most my builds so a new Dimension full of Spookiness would be perfect, I would want to live there, I'm really tempted to build a base in an Ancient City it'd be dangerous but fun.

Imagine. You load into the new dimension, and you land on the other side. The sound sends sound waves across the skulk, alerting a warden to your presence. It turns toward you, but you don't notice. You're too busy staring at the *other* thing those sound waves went to. Something so massive and colossal, and obscured in the darkness, that you can't even see it in its entirety. But by the time you've noticed, it's far too late. You never should have come here. It's definitely heard you... and it's hungry.

As a 31 year old man, this is exactly the kind of content I come to KZfaq for!!!

i have an idea of what the dimension could be. I think it is a vast dark sea of an acid like water which damages the player to the touch. The player starts on an island and their netherite is useless here. they need to mine a new wood type to make a boat to sail through the ocean. they will find more sculk filled islands and interesting things along the way and they will find new better gear. But the gear becomes much worse when used outside of the dimension so that netherite is still best when in the other three dimensions. Beds don't work but dying respawns you at the spawn location of the Sculk Sea. The only way to leave is by constructing a new portal by progressing through the dimension. I had an idea where you have seperate inventories between the dimension and the others meaning you don't lose all your stuff when you enter, and just start from scratch. the evidence for the sculk sea is a few things. first, they just introduced 4 paintings that were already in bedrock into java. Depictions of fire, water, earth, and air. These helped reinforce an idea I had already thought about. Every dimension thus far has been based on one of the four elements. The overworld is earth, the nether fire, and the end is air being mostly empty except for floating islands. We just don't have a water based dimension yet. Furthermore, every dimension has unique generation, be it floating islands or vast hellish caves. How would Mojang make this final dimension more unique and fit in with the others? Why by giving it new generation of course. How else than to make a vast sea populated by small islands where wardens are the least of your worries.

6:48 Except in every ancient city i’ve been in, no shriekers spawned close enough to pick up the signals from that central structure.

I believe it's not an army marching in, but marching out, I imagine waves of hellishly powerful soldiers fighting you, with the warden by your side. Until... A impossibly powerful, monsterous boss emerges from the portal, killing the warden in one attack. Then you have to kill it within a certain time or else it will recharge that attack, and kill you

Its cool how you talk about why the skulk is so overgrown. I really like this idea and will be a bit disappointed if they scrap it entirely. I would like if most of the other dimension was peaceful like a graveyard in some areas but in others theres a megaboss feeding on the dead. If they could, when the thing kills you, it grows stronger because of the experience you drop to "feed it"

I wish they updated the end first (maybe more structures, biomes, mobs, ores, etc) but im excited for the new dimension!

I'm pretty sure RetroGamingNow's analysis of the hidden minecraft lore is very close to what Mojang wants us to think. I don't think they have any concrete hidden story, just that there used to be an ancient race of builders just like the player, who for whatever reason, disappeared entirely, only leaving behind their dilapidated structures and technology.

Bro that would be badass I hope Mojang knows what they are doing and makes it similar to this idea! I can imagine us using a lantern as a light source to navigate through the treacherous hell scape. or have more powerful entities or beings more than the warden. Even have deeper lore that would be badass!

If the Warden is going to be a Low level mob for the dimension or a preparing mob for the dimension I hope there would be a new type of armor that is going to be better than netherite. That way It's going to be more rewarding to go there and take the risk.

They stopped putting -Removed Herobrine in the update logs around the time when they FIRST started working on this... imagine they added him to the lore... it would fit right in with the mansion lore of the pillagers and evokers trying to recreate steve as seen with the turquoise and blue wool blocks all around as well as wool trying to recreate nether and end portals found as structures in the mansions.

My fav parts 3:36 & 5:17 could mean that not only the army when into the portal to fight whatever threatened them, but some even left their weapons for new generations to prepare their gear & discover the dark and brutal truth about the 4th dimension. As you said that the Warden was just a warning sends chills down to my spine that something in that dimension can even fear the strongest monsters/mobs.

There is also something else connecting the portals, all of them seem to require a heat source. The nether portal needs fire, the End portal is above lava, and the Ancient City Portal has soul fire. Portals require a hard material to give them form (Obsidian/End Frames/Bedrock/Reinforced Deepslate) and a heat source to power them.

VERY MUCH SPOOK, I really like your take on the theory ^^

can't wait to casually stroll to my death. If there's one thing I'm good at it's ignoring warnings

4:12 Except the Warden was originally designed as a blind Piglin brute who’d find the player through sound.

5:53 The bright wool camps are post-collapse set up by Pillagers who tried exploring the area for its magical properties hoping to make use of them.

Dang I love it I only see two problem about this. kingbdogs said that there will be something interesting in the center but what if thats the redstone room. second, A few mojang employees said they will not add a new biome till all the rest of them are updated. That means the end update could come first then maybe the portal. I love the video tho.

I really like the idea of a new dimension being added, and as likely as I think it is, I think we should lower our expectations a bit just in case lmao

HOLY THE LAST PART SCARED THE LVING OUT OF ME. unbelievable editing and animation and the script is on POINT you're underrated as frick words cant explain how good you are

I think there might be more terrifying things than wardens in that dimention

This is an awesome video keep up the great work!

Well done! The evidence based speculation is deeply intriguing. The presentation was thoroughly captivating. The creativity is inspiring. It hurts that it's currently only speculation, I hope you're right though.

Finally we can discover what was making all those cave sounds all this time.

Love how you chose the best LEMMiNO song. Man of culture

First off, loved this video! Thought it brought up some very interesting points I think a lot of it is highly possible to be right, god job! But personally, I hope the new dimension isn't barren. We already have that in the End and it would be nice to have something a bit more exciting in comparison, rather then just a horror version of the End Still, barren or exciting (in any way) I'm still hyped for this and really hope Mojang will not disappoint! I'm honestly excited for what we might find :)

Interesting and well made video, well done!

Really good theory 3:50 Ackchyually: Bats should be blind, too.

I just realised that mojang literally made a new enchant book PERFECT for a new dimension taken over by shulk, Swift sneak would be super useful to get past shulk sensors.

This is a really cool video! While all this sounds very cool and makes sense, I don't think we're getting a new dimension anytime soon. The "cool thing worth exploring" at the city center the developers were hinting at is most likely the redstone tutorial stuff underneath the "portal". It wouldn't really make sense to add a new dimension now while the others (such as the end) are still in the process of being polished. Maybe this is them preparing to add a new dimension in the future if they decide to do so. (Like, they aren't sure if they want to add a new dimension yet, but if they want to do it later, it'll be easy to make the entrance be the portals in the ancient cities.) I'm thinking after they update the end and finish updating most of the overworld biomes, then maybe they will start considering making the next update be a new dimension.

Seeing as 1.19 is not wholly dedicated to the Deep Dark and how underwhelming the current Deep Dark is in terms of the reason of exploring it, this is indeed a good idea but I think the dimension on the otherside is not infinite per say, at least for now due to the time constraints of developing them. This new dimension could just be a small area and this is good enough as a reason to explore the deep dark right now. At least it proves to us that Mojang really indeed intends to bring a new dimension to us. Maybe a future version will release the full scale of this new dimension. Hopefully

Good job! This is such a hit that not only is it ur newest vid, but also the most popular

Hearing the disc the first time I immediately thought of the march of an army. I was surprised other people weren't focusing on that

trillion views when ?!?!?

Love your content and the edit! You're sooo Underrated! I can only see you think thousands and thousands of subs! +1 Sub! And hope you gain way more along your way ;)

The first thing I did was go into the ancient city and beat it in survival. Such a fun and unique biome to complete. What was more tinteresting tho was the music disc with what seemed like people opening a rift of some kind only to be completely overwhelmed by what sounded like an army almost. Can't wait to see what they do with this

Dude wth, just discovered your channel and it’s completely amazing, new sub here ;)

underrated

I just can’t wait for myself to laugh IF this isn’t real. Sure, the file is called portal statue, but a portal doesn’t necessarily mean it leads somewhere. Sure, a developer said something is interesting about the center of the city. Hey, isn’t there a redstone area under it? Also, a new portal doesn’t necessarily mean a new dimension. It could take you to another city or somewhere in the world. Also, think about the content that could be added. There have been plenty of ideas, but they don’t really fit a new dimension. Also, the sounds of disc 5 doesn’t really mean a new dimension. It could just be kinds weird, like disc 11. Regardless, I still love the idea and the video, but I think people need to be a little more skeptical. I am not saying this is bad, I’m just giving my thoughts.

Insanely good! I really hope you're right on this one, because this idea is what the deep dark needed. I'd love to see more speculative content like this! I was surprised by how thoroughly you looked into what we know about Mojang and the deep dark to figure this out.

Remember how the End Poem said: “The Player has not yet achieved the highest level?” Maybe this means we get another poem after restoring the Skulk dimension. And when I say restore maybe we bring the “army” back to life

First of all, just because it’s a portal doesn’t mean that we must be able to access the other side. Things can exist in the lore without being accessible in the actual game. An example of this just so happens to be a 4th dimension. A developer once confirmed that there is a dimension in the lore that endermen go through when they teleport and where the endermites come from. There’s no need for the player to go there, besides, it’s probably just barren wasteland with a bunch of endermites, so it’s inaccessible in the actual game. Second of all, saying that the loot in the cities is to prepare for a boss fight or just the dimension itself is ridiculous. The devs have said multiple times that the main thing you want to go to the deep dark for is the loot. Why would they just lie about that? Plus, I think a dev once said on Twitter that they’ll only add a new dimension once the other dimensions, more specifically the End, are updated. They also said that the warden isn’t necessarily protecting anything. Also you didn’t read the entire definition of warden, you left out “or for ensuring that regulations associated with it are obeyed.” Due to this, it’s not far-fetched to say that wardens are meant to make sure that the sculk spreads and evolves. Also, why are you just brushing off the idea that the metal stomping is just a guy in armor? Notice how the main guy we hear throughout the tape breaths heavily once the stomping stops. Edit: Also, the sculk is obviously associated with the undead, it’s literally composed of souls. The probably made wardens not undead for balancing reasons (though it’s not really necessary now with the sonic boom attack), besides, why was it undead in the first place?

I love the use of the music, good choice. I got the creeps at the end, great video.

Insanely good animation and flow in this video. Crazy that you have so few subscribers and still pump out awesome stuff. Keep it up dude

I could have lived a perfectly long and prosperous life without seeing that smiling warden image. well done lol

People in the ancient city found a way to move portal blocks and form it into a frame, When the portal was ignited they likely sent a small group not knowing what was on the other side, Then they probably realized it was a mistake as the group they sent never came back, or a survivor tells them of the horror on the other side. The Portal was a gateway into the Skulk dimension, the smell of death was potent as it impowered the soil they would walk on and the enemies on the other side, They thought they could just slay the enemies but thats when they found out it only made it worse, Each death either from the Horrid creatures or one of their comrades just fueled Skulk, A Life that feeds on ones Soul, No matter how many they sent into the portal to stop the incoming threat no one returned intact. The remaining colonists began working on a project, Believing they could fight back the Skulk creatures with a man-made one as they took inspiration from their Iron Golems. Atlas they done it, Making a Golem with skulk, fueled by souls of the dead but before they could give it sight the portal began to brighten and as a army of creatures came down and slaughtered them one by one leaving masses of skulk around, The creatures done massacring a whole city focused on the above world but before doing so The Warden stood in their way with no sight it listened and gave a deafening scream charging at the creatures slaughtering them, The creatures realized they were no match for the abomination so they retreated and before The Warden could come through they broke the portal on the other side closing the portal for good. As time passed The Warden protected the Portal killing anything that came within the city.

I Loved this video! Your subs have now increased :D I really enjoy this kind of video and it's made so good! keep it up man!

Your documentary sounds like it would come from an expert. You are awesome 👌 You've also earned a new sub:)

Possibilities: 1- The Ancient City was built by an ancient civilization from The Other side, since the Overworld people wouldn't know what the Warden would look like. 2- The Ancient City was built around the portal created by The Other civilization, in an attempt to study and investigate The Other dimension. 3- The Overworld people found an ancient schematic of the portal or arcane knowledge of the Warden, and they managed to build the portal on the Ancient City There's no evidence of the existence of a civilization on The Other dimension, so the possibility 3 is more plausible

It would be super cool if they added like a boss version of the warden, the more angry and vicious version of this mob, to create a final monster which would explain the dead soldiers' campsite and the reason the regular warden does not want them to explore further or go into the portal.

I remember Mojang saying they don't wanna add new dimensions until the ones we already have feel well rounded. Idk if I'm just being Greedy, but the End still feels a little bare bones to me...

What if, bear with me, you could find small groups of surviving soldiers that went in the portal. They could act the same as Piglins, meaning you could trade with them (maybe trade wool since it would be valuable in that environment or something else, and they give very high tier stuff; Like netherite scrap or high level enchantment books etc). Except maybe you would need to have a piece of netherite armour equipped for them not to attack you on sight, they are soldiers trapped in a hostile world where everything trys to kill them; It makes sense. It should be nethrite to nail the after game feel with how formidable sculk can be. Or Make them like villagers, but instead of villages it's camps with carpet and silent variants for storage. A little off topic thought: They must have some sort of ecosystem there in order to have the sculk spread/exist, because LIVING things have to DIE around it for it thrive/dominate everything. (Side note: sculk with a k, skulk, just fits better for the alien feel imo) This would further solidify the survival of soldiers. "The Silent" (my name for the dimension) could maybe have some "silent" critters or sculk animals sneaking about; That could survive the sculk takeover of the dimension. The takeover idea is coming from the fact that the sculk lives/spreads from consuming dead things. I must have appeared in "The Silent" and quickly consumed it, invasive species and all. What if "The Silent" was always full of sculk then, what was it eating? Unless there's something else in "The Silent"; Plants. In "The Nether" there's food, plants: mushrooms and trees. In "The End" there's food, a plant: the Chorus fruit that thrives there. The ender men must eat, because all living things must eat something; Even the sculk. What do sculk and players/ancient city builders have in common ? The ability/need to absorb XP. Upon killing something near skulk the XP that drops from the mob will spread the sculk instead of dropping XP. This XP could be stored in the sculk. This is prevalent when you break a sculk block dropping a life force's worth of XP. The ancient city builders needed XP to enchant items; So maybe, this one's far out there, but what if a plant of some kind was living in "The Silent" that they found. A plant, that when mined, drops food and XP; Making it a form of life being lost thus spreading the sculk. And the ancient city builders know you can use a hoe to mine plants and get a better yield(you can find diamond hoes in the ancient city with mending aka using XP), so they try it and in doing so see the sculk eat the XP. Frustrated at the lost of XP they strike the sculk block with a hoe, breaking it almost instantly and dropping even more XP. They take note of this and continue to break more blocks, but run into a sculk sensor that summons the Warden. Scared they retreat and tell the other builders of what they discovered. Knowing they would be met with retaliation, they send there army to protect the collectors while they....well...Collect the XP. In doing so starts a war with the sculk causing the sculk to invade the overworld and take over the ancient city. They try to outsmart them with wool and carpets but it fails in the end. The invasion of the sculk closes the portal trapping the remaining soldiers inside. Afraid for their lives the soldiers stray from battle in packs, because they know they can't defeat the sculk aka the warden and whatever else lives in "The Silent". And thus concludes how soldiers could be incorporated into "The Silent" dimension.

"...as we carefully tread on the battleground..." *Sprints and hops forward into the abyss*

Bro when u were talking about the baracks and the army entering the portal that made so much sense

first vid i watched from you and already subscribed because you're underrated and you deserve it! :D

6:30 Yet it is fueled by souls, just as the sculk shriekers are shown.

The editing on this video is so smooth and comfortable. It feels mainstream in a good way, i love it.

AMAZING, FINALLY someone else who thought the stomping was an army. Five is such an amazing and instresting disk. Amazing video dude

I think it'd be interesting to have it be based not entirely but mainly on the darkness effect, as of right now the darkness and blindness effects dont serve much purpose but to make pvp and pve a bit harder, maybe in the otherside you would have to rely on the skulk to navigate, maybe collecting skulk sensors to create a helmet or an accessory that would allow you to see based on sound with important structures and resources giving off a faint hum the closer you get while also displaying themselves with a light blue outline if you have a skulk helmet

i came to the same conclusion, an army that came to the otherside of the portal to try and stop the skulk that was getting out of control, but was massacred

personally I think its gonna be a nicer place, maybe this ancient city saw what the overworld was becoming and decided to leave and start a new life, the warden might be protecting these people or trying to protect this beautiful world from the players that wish to use its resources. We already have 2 kinda depressing worlds so something like the Aether would be nicer in my opinion. :)

If you play disc 11 and disc 5 at the exact same time. When disc 11 stops, it seems like disc 5 is a continuation of disc 11. The sound is so alike, and the music from disc 5 even stops right when disc 11 stops. I thought you might want to check it out. Could be a clue!

ZaynNoah: The Warden is the only mob that cant see… Bats: Hello😢

Loved the vibe of the video, keep going

I think 1.20 will add the new dimension , because Mojang have already released 1.19 also, I think that they changed the small_portal_statue's name because they wanted players to forget about the reference to a new dimension
