phantoms being afraid of cats can be explained easily when you go to sleep (and have a tamed cat), there is a chance of the cat giving you a "gift" when you wake up one of those gifts is a phantom membrane, indicating that the cat may have killed a phantom so it's safe to assume that phantoms instinctively stay way from cats because they're their predators

I have recently became addicted to minecraft lore. I can't stop watching people like Dragonic,Gametheory,RetroGamingNow and Wifies

my guess is that the creators of the temples wanted to better defend themselves due to low resources, so they used magic to create creepers to act as a way to attack other places, and defend what they plundered. the cats acted as deterrent both because of their cultural importance and as a means to potentially herd creepers and prevent them backfiring. the spore releasing was likely just a way to create creepers without expending resources in artificial creation.

Actually creepers have a blurry green vision and imagine you saw a Cat hissed at you while you have creeper vision , the cats can see in the dark by somehow making their eyes glow , this trick applies to scare other creatures too , so creepers May be scared of cats because of their blurry green vision

Looking at the symbols on chiseled sandstone upside down it kinda looks like: TBX (in galactic alphabet) which in swedish is a shortened version of: "Go back"

Also: you can find some gunpowder and sand inside the chests of the dessert temple

In the Egyptian ancient culture, cats are the guard of gates to afterlife/spirit realm. It is safe to assume that they are afraid of them because they came from the other side.

“Creepers hiss by making a hiss sound” Pretty explanatory totally since seemingly it’s the same thing as A baby is created by a baby not really

Him: creepers is a mutated pig Piglins: are we a joke to you?

Imagine the minecraft devs saw this and was like: *we just decided to make them fear cats bc we just wanted to lol*

I think the clue is in "Great Sphinx of Giza" because there seems to be a cat temple standing on the side of the dessert temple. The cat temple is like the king of dessert temples where the creeper was made. This is probably the reason why the creeper is afraid of cats.

I think the creepers were made to defend desert temples since the recipe to make them is on chiseled sandstone bricks. But they escaped from there and started roaming in the wild, and they attack players to defend the desert temples. Since the creepers, a mutated pig, it could be possible that sense cats hunt, guinea pigs, creepers might be afraid that they will mistake them for a giant, guinea pig, so that’s why they’re scared of them

"Creeper hiss by making hissing sound" Maybe the Sky is made out of Sky

“Creepers *technically* hiss by making a hissing sound” *insert long neck buzz lightyear * Hmmmm yes it hisses by hissing

I think that there were many groups of the Ancient Builders, like the ones that lived in the Ocean, In the Overworld, and the Desert. The people who lived in the Desert created the creepers for defense against the other civilizations. The creepers exploded and spread their spores. Later after the Plague with the Zombies, Skeleton, etc. The Ancient civilizations died and the creepers learned to live with the monsters that were now roaming the Minecraft world. So the Creeper also attacks you because he was also programmed to attack the other civilizations.

Dragonic you have such great and perfectly believable theories!

Well my theory is that since creepers were mutated by the Egyptians, they became extremely scared of what they were capable of, so they ran and started attacking players for revenge. The reason they are scared of cats is because in Egyptian culture cats are treated almost like gods, which means that the creeper has a natural fear of cats as they reminds them of the egyptians

Dragonic: there's was only one other mob besides the crepper in the game that has fear of cats Phantoms: yes

Cats just love to use Creepers as a scratching post... XD

Your theory with the temple and tnt are really amazing bro! Also they are a moss like substance that canonly make spores to grow more reminds me of some horror apocalypse movie of some sort, would be cool if they somehow made this cannon, like growing new creepers in a sooner update.

there's a problem with "exploding cats": creepers aren't really afraid of death, otherwise they wouldn't explode, so there should be something worse than just dying for them

“Creepers hiss by making a hissing sound” It seems the floor here is made out of floor Edit: thanks so much for 400 likes!

Well.. If u look closely in the sandstone (chiseled I think) you'll see what looks like the carved out face of a creeper therefore creeper were known then and could be a part of your point of being recreated and for the cats to be protected

I love your Vids Dragonic

How to win with a creeper: hisssss him back… *Thats it. nothing more.. you won..*

They're just allergic to cats

Here's my take, creepers were made from mutating the pigs by the ancient builders to protect their structures from invaders. Invaders like other ancient builder civilisations. Maybe this is the reason why we find creepers in desert temples and strongholds because both the structures were made by the same kind of ancient builder civilisation. Yes, creepers were programmed to not hurt cats, that's why they run away from them. They aren't afraid, they just don't wanna hurt the cat.

Btw love your theorys

This makes even more sense because of the tnt trap that is found in desert temples

Creepers be like: I might be brave and strong but those things scare me

your vids r sooo interesting!!

I like your theory, cause the chiziled sandstone and the mysterious room in the sides and stuff. 2x1 rooms and stuff.

i think it's because cats have very powerful instincts and fast reaction time. i mean, the entire purpose of their life is to sneak up, why wouldn't they be scared of something that they couldn't defeat? they are probably scared of accidentally wasting their life on a animal with insane reflexes

My best bet on the chiseled sand stone is that in English it says “noz” Probably refuring to nose, as a hidden joke As for the red chiseled sand stone… it says “AO”… yeah I have no idea either (and yes there’s 2 letters on each end of the wither pic)

You have helped me in Minecraft so much!

Finally it’s time that they solve this long time old mystery

“when u see a temple u think of the egyptians” me: Nah man all i think of is bone, sand, flesh, and gapples

Another theory: Creepers also drop music discs, I believe it's bcoz ancient builders wanted to store something in creepers with the help of music discs and they fear cats coz usually players have cats with them and then they can't get that info stored in the creepers

2:24: I think he learned from his mistakes but had an aria: turned his mistake into a intentional feature by turning it into a new bib called the creeper anc changed the texture

Cat: HIIIIISSSSSSSsssss. Creeper: oh shit sorry man.

I took a close look at the chiseled sandstone. "XTZ" is what I found. When put upside down, the galactic X is what appears. The middle letter looks a lot like the galactic T, when taken in with a closer look. And the Z just looks very obvious from looking at the chiseled sandstone and the galactic Z.

The creepers outer shell (the moss) might grow after an explosion then an pig comes and gets "corrupted" after the coruption the pig gets mutated propably only the moss was created by the ancient builders. And the tnt might be an result of residue sand and gunpowder existent in the desert. I can only guess that the desert was the creepers home of creation. The moss might have an catnip like effect to cats and that might be why they run away

Dragonic: explains the entire lore of creepers everyone else: aww man

2:07 creepers are not moss according to the texture files. In fact if you take a look at the creeper texture file its a more brighter version of the oak leaves texture.

5:02 Thanks to the Standard Galatic Alphabet. I read a lil bit of the enchantments in the timestamp I put. The first one says: "WATER KLAATL" BUT I'm still working on the rest cause they look like a bit of random words combined.. thanks for letting me know about the Alphabet. Great information if I do say so myself!

You are so underrated I really appreciate your content and you are definitely one of my favourite KZfaqrs

06:38 I think players are not ancient builders since we can respawn

Do you use video guru to edit videos? Just asking.

Mom, can we get Game Theory? We have Game Theory at home. Game Theory at home:

Some people theorize that's the creeper was created by a witch trying to test on a pig but got the potion wrong.

Creeper Logic: "Anything that Can Hiss is Explosive."

5:37 the chiseled sandstone it has that black creature destorys everything its like the creeper the creeper destorys less tho

To add on with the theory, the desert people made the creepers to kill the ancient builders from the sick stuff they did like making the enderman and piglins as slaves, that explains why the other monsters also hated the ancient builder. The ancient builders are overwhelmed and got wiped out But one person survived which is now the player

I remember the day when creeper killed my favorite cat ); R.i.p Cat 2020-2020

For the encrypted mesage on the chisled sand, I got, "AQZ" I don't know if it means anything. Or, it could be, "AQT," or, "AQO."

It’s because cats give you every item but gunpowder, and they don’t give you gunpowder because the creeper runs away (or because they’re secretly friends with the mission to destroy the players). *If it’s my really weird theory, then here’s their plan:* Cat Step 1: Act nice to humans by giving them gifts so they trust them, but they’re secretly practicing hunting so they can one day do it to the players. Creeper Step 1: Spy on players from above. (That’s all I have so far, I’ll edit this comment when I have more information.)

short version: ancient Egyptians loved cats and they built temples that had tnt in. creepers were alive and the Egyptians didn't want creepers to die or blow up cats so they made the creepers have a fear of cats

Here's my take, the creepers could of been the guardians of the temples to protect the treasures inside, the little cells around the temples was where they were supposed to stand guard for any intruders. If the creepers couldn't stop the intruders the booby trap is the last resort. But due to the ancient civilization going extinct and creepers being able to multiply, the creeper population got out of hand since the ancient civilization is no longer there to control them. As for the fear of cats, since the ancient civilization is somewhat based on ancient Egyptians, cats are revered as a god in particular Bastet, who was depicted as a fierce lioness warrior and also a goddess of protection against contagious diseases and evil spirits. Seeing as how creepers (in present day Minecraft) are evil and also spread like a contagion, Bastet (cat goddess) is the creeper's worst nightmare.

Dragonic: explaining lore How it was actually made: misshaped pig

My headcanon is that the creeper’s skin is like that of a scratching post (because of it’s rough texture) and feels extreme pain when the cat scratches it. But I can see why it was mutated by the egyptians,but I’ll rather stick with my headcanon because it’s more goofy.

In Minecraft Dungeons, Ocelots can be seen chasing and hunting Creepers. It is possible that, in addition to what was said in the video, the cats have become their natural predators of the creepers or something like that.

Maybe the "spores" smell like something good to the creepers, so by then they grow into more creepers, they actually walk over to where the player is and see its the player so they explode?

I personally think it's that they wanted cats and to make them useful. What do cats do? They fend off vermin. But theres no rats in the game so creepers are the closest things to vermin. But your theory is well crafted nevertheless.

It's terrifying how much they actually know

Mat Pat said creepers are plants So , plants are scared of cats?

*" Creepers hiss. "* _"HMMMM, This window is maybe made out of window, modernly made out of the window with a window. "_

dog: wont attack creeper cat: hold my milk

Somehow I never knew creepers run away from cats before this video. Good to know so creepers don't destroy my base

my theory: The creepers were created by the ancient by accident and they hated the creeper but worshiped the cat, The creeper was jealous and started hating/fearing the cat Or maybe the creeper had a crush on the cat

Well I came up with some adjustments for your theory 1: creepers were made to protect the valuable loot on the temples 2: they are scared of cats not because they where not supposed to hurt them , but because cats herded them 3: the ancient people didn't infect pigs, but mummies Otherwise, nice theory

I think I might have a good idea for making a red desert temple (;

Creeper: *Hiss by making a hissing sound* "Ah yes, the hiss here is made out of hiss"

I love your editing and the theory was very convincing!

creepers actually don't wanna hurt players they want to hug players but they don't know hoe to hug so they explode plus they have a sad face on them

This explains a lot, lol!

The creepers probably have TNT in them so they can guard the desert temples weren't rogue cause they were made to protect them that's why they have creeper symbols all over the temples as warning signs just like we have "Beware of Dog" signs the text on the sandstone could say "beware of creeper" or something like it and aren't actually ingredients on how to make a creeper as those could be somewhere else or have been destroyed to keep it from getting into the wrong hands and this also explains the wither sandstone as they probably had the same purpose of being a sign in structures or temples made of red sandstone probably in the badlands.

"Well that is just a theory, A GAME THEORY! AAAAAAAND, CUT!"

5:25 I think atz is the closest.

I like the hissing theory. Makes the most sense to me.

speaking of desert temples and red sandstone, maybe there might be a such thing as a red desert temple?

Maybe it’s just primal instincts? Like maybe prehistoric creepers were hunted by giant cats

Theory of herobrine: Herobrine is one of the ancient builders who was dead and now his soul is stopping the players (us) to do anything to his world

I decoded the message and it says DOT and I noticed that in the creeper logo on the sandstone has a misplaced dot, the left eye's eyeball/dot is misplaced so maybe notch felt bad that he misplaced it and told us that it is misplaced.

Dragonic - Cats are demons and only creepers can see their darkness Cat lovers - So you have chosen death?

The last symbol on the shiseld sandstone is T and it’s 3 letters!

My theory is that Mojang added the feature of creepers being scared of cats to give people a reason to go tame them. Other than that, and being absolutely adorable, (I'm a cat person) there's not really a reason to spend time trying to find one, unlike wolves who will willingly fight for you.

the red chiseled sandstone is spawned natrally at mineshafts in replacement of normal sandstone in the badlands

I think that the creeper experiment was used to protect the temple, why they added TNT into the creepers, and maybe they scared of cats because Egyptians worshipped them and the creepers were too scared to hurt them as that would betray their creators.

Wait... You said the people who made the creeper put the "tnt" inside it. So how do creepers explode if they now multiply naturally and there is nobody to put the tnt inside of them anymore?

Imagine not watching Dragonic, *couldn't be me*

5:21 Those symbols could be upside down, which then would mean N - G - E Googling that with "meaning" could mean "Not Good Enough" or "New Game Experience". ^^

I think the first creeper was a human who owned a cat but hated it then he got used for an experiment with moss and TNT but they did not let let his arms come back. He remembered everything. But sometimes he couldn’t control him self some times. So his new body made him scared of cats. That is my theory. Hope you tell everyone on next video. Also love this vid. Can’t wait for more videos. See you very soon. But very ASAP bro!

I feel like the creepers weren't programmed to fear cats. I think that the creepers are scared because cats hung out with the players who morphed them into monsters. In other words, they are scared of cats because it could mean that players are nearby too. With this you'd probably think "why do creepers not fear players then?" and to that I say idk. Maybe when they see a player they just have a grudge against them so they try to kill them

* looks at my cat * Please don't explode * cat looks back at me... menacingly *

I don’t know what that creeper sign means on the chiseled thingy, it probably says KHT, this might be representing a cat under the creeper but it might say AHT, RHT, or VHT

Teacher: watch something that teaches you Me:watch’s this vid

But hey, that's just a theory. A Game Theory! Same conclusion.

What about the fact that the music disc that creepers drop from being killed by a skeleton is called "cat"

I got the thumbnail as a poster in my room as a child I still have it

Video idea:Why zombies and husk and drowned crush turtle eggs
