Yo, this observation really meshes with the fact that the Devs have being putting a lot of time into adding functionality for systematic dimension & terrain generation. Even right now there are experimental features that allow players to write JSON files that anyone can load via in-game gui that causes the game to make new dimensions with custom generation, and all one needs is a admin command to teleport into the custom world. I think you are spot on, why else spend all this time refactoring this feature?
Well, Mojand is also doing this so that other people can create their own dimensions easily... But I do think it would be logical to expect new dimensions using the improved dimension datapack functionality.
@@J_Doodle Mods do it too, yeah. So what? Official support for custom dimensions is still really cool and useful, and a lot of awesome stuff has come out of it.
One more thing that I would like to add is that it’s called a “Warden” and Wardens irl are usually guarding something or the head at a prison (I believe)
Maybe the new dimension was like a prison of sorts in the lore of the game? And the warden is what guards this dimension keeping whatever boss that's in there from destroying the world?🤔🤔🤔 Just my guess for the lore tho so idk.🙃🙃🙃
@@BriarThornStudios maybe it'll be the literal minecraft purgatory. Purgatory is depicted as a prison, plus the Sculk theme seems to be tied with sounds and death because Sculk only ever spreads when something dies. Also the Nether is literally hell, and the End (which was supposed to be the Aether) is heaven.
Given the theme of death with the whole update, and how mobs that die next to the catalyst causes more spreading of sculk, it would be dope if to activate the portal you actually had to sacrifice mobs next to the portal, or die next to the portal yourself with a totem of undying
Also another big thing is that the developers have kept delaying the deep dark. It was supposed to be released in 1.17, but now it won’t be fully released until 1.19. Why is it taking them so long? Maybe because they’ve been secretly working on a new dimension this entire time.
@@mellohi6175 nah, they could have started working on the new dimension, but i think they'll definitely work on the end first, then add the new dimension on a latter date
@@charlestonianbuilder344 the point of the end is that it's desolate and boring. Unless they decide to change the reason the end is there, it is likely that the end will stay how it is currently
@@thatrawk well, thats a bad dimension, its a dimension for late game players and if its boring then whats the point of it other than afew things, you can still keep the desolate vibe, but adding new stuff in it can go along way, i never really went to the nether at all until 1.16, there was not much to do there, and not much to see or collect, but with 1.16, it gave new and old players alike to explore the place, the endjust needs more stuff for player to do,
I think the disc "Otherside" also has something to do with the dimension as well, simply because of its title. I like to believe that the new dimension's name is just "Otherside" similar to how the End and the Nether are just words instead of actual names.
@@9nikolai Sure but I think they meant that they are essentially 'named' after their relation to the overworld. Nether just means 'under' or 'below', as canonically it is located underneath the bedrock layer in the overworld. (Even the fact that we call the overworld, the overworld. Again, in relation to the nether). The end is named after the fact that it is where the end of the game is located, and also because it represents the outer reaches of the minecraft world. Naming the new dimension something like 'Eclipsia' or 'Achlys' would be jarring
@@TheDundeeBiscuitLuvU I was referring to how they phrased "actual names". But on the topic of what another dimension could be called, considering all the clues so far (including what was said in the video and what was said by both of you two), I think it's most likely the name will be something like "The Sculking".
To support this even further, the concept art for the trypophobia sculk literally says "The sculk could be a texture disease that creates these hole clusters and corrupt blocks, REVEALING THE DARK VOID OF 'THE HOLLOW' through their disgusting holes." The developers were toying with the idea of another dimension, even with the early sculk concepts, and now that we know theres a portal I think its safe to assume that there will probably be another dimention, even if it isnt in the upcoming wild update or called the hollow.
Another dimension would be amazing. I really hope they do add one because at the moment there doesn't seem like much of a reason to explore a deep dark city, the only unique item is a pair of boots with the new swift sneak enchantment, as the sculk blocks can easily be obtained in the outer portions of the biome without having to venture into the cities.
@@Lunarcreeper No, that's the Hallow, a land of intense, concentrated "good" to the point of toxicity. Judging by the Warden, the Hollow would likely more closely resemble the Corruption.
@@gamerdomain6618 alternatively, like how Hollow Knight does it: the dimension added (if it is real) might be.. decayed, a shell of what it once was. A "hollow"ed dimension of emptiness and rot
I personally think that “the wild update” might not even be the real name of the update since the only “wild” thing we’ve gotten so far are the mangrove swamps… It seems that this update is made completely around ancient cities and deep dark. The mangrove swamps are just a side thing like taiga in 1.14
I agree. This would also fix the issue of adding incentive for people to go to these cities. Right now risking an encounter with the Warden isn't worth the loot.
I think there are some thins they are keeping secret as a surprise. I think they accidentally leaked the swift sneak, didn't they? Either way, I think they are smart enough to know there needs to be more. But the skulk itself is a good reason to go down there, especially if hou are into redstone.
There's quite a few cool things in there, and I'm sure they'll add more, that makes going there a bit worth it. You can get really nice gear there early on along with the disc and possibly other stuff if you're into redstone or building!
One is sure for it will be a portal, is that square design and non removable block, so there s no other use for it instead. Or maybe we can watch live stream from there 🤣
I saw an interview with one of the developers several years ago (sorry, I don't remember who), and someone asked when a new dimension would be added. The answer was basically, "when we're satisfied with the dimensions we already have." This was before the Nether update, and since then we have seen dramatic overhauls of both the Nether and the Overworld. I would predict that the End will be next, along with more content being added to a few more Overworld biomes like the desert. After that, we'll finally see a new dimension.
Desert doesnt need update. Its a barren wasteland. Its a desert. Only think i think that could improve is lizards and snakes. Other than that they hit the nail on the barren desert. Even the badlands are a new form of desert with just little tweaks and more color.
Yeah the end definitely needs some more content. Now its just kill dragon get elytra get out. A simple 10min adventure. Maybe build exp farm too lol, but thats it. And while it doesnt look like it sadly, i want the new dimension to be like the Aether mod :O
@@objection6563 I get where your going but how lively can you make a barren desert, larger temple or small jungle biome in the middle of the desert wouldnt be adding that much
Do you think it's weird there's now an apparent portal in the Deep Dark biome which appears with ancient city structures in large caverns deep in the overworld and that previously there was a mod with an item called Deep Dark Portal which transported the player to the Deep Dark dimension where one found large, dark caverns?
I've definitely had that thought before. In fact for a while if you Google "deep dark minecraft" it would even recommend that mod before it even mentions 1.19. Kinda sus lol
I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say that the Portal has to be activated by a specific item that can only be found in Archeological sites. Therefore the Wild dimension wont come until the Archeology update arrives.
I think that would be so cool. It also occurred to me as well, but at the same time someone suggested a while ago that along with archeology they could do a structure update where they update all of the old structures, which I think I like more. So I think I want them to just wait to add the new dimension until they have updated all the existing biomes and the end and caught up on everything they promised. I honestly don't mind waiting a few years for the portal to have a function so that they can do it all right and give everything the love it deserves.
That's a good theory, perhaps there'll be some sort of pedestal that you can find that'll have a place at the portal, and requires some sort of soul item to use?
I think that even if The Wilds dimension isn't added in this update, it might be added in the next or future updates. It might just be a placeholder for future ideas similar to how the fletching table and other similar tables didn't have an actual use until they added their usage in future updates.
@@yoursleepparalysisdemon8752 the Smithing Table is a much better example of a block that didn’t have a use for a very long time. It was added (I think) in the Village and Pillage update but finally got a use when netherite was added.
It would actually be really cool if they kept it secret until release and let the players figure out how to enter the dimension and all the mechanics and new blocks of the dimension
"Warden" makes me think of prison, so I don't think it'll be a portal to go through; I think it's a portal to a void cell that a new boss escapes from.
That...sounds horrifying. I'm into it. Can't wait to 💖die💖 in the deepdark. If The Warden is already this powerful, I can't imagine how powerful a new possible boss mob that comes from that 'portal' will be. 😳
if they are, my guess is that The Wild Update will be laying the groundwork for the way to enter the new dimension while they work on natural dangers, biomes, mobs and possibly ores or variations on vanilla ores (would be cool for this theorized dimension to be an exact flip of the Overworld where diamonds are more common than Iron the higher you go) and let the theory pot stir a bit more to draw more hype for when it is announced, plus I honestly think they should update The End before adding a whole new dimension
I would like to point out that what could be be stairs going up to the "Portal" is bigger than any player to use normally, A block taller that is. This could imply that whatever is in this potential biome is MUCH bigger than us. And even though the Portal Statue is now just put to the file name Statue, guess what? Security Breach's Princess Quest character had the file name Cassidy (If you Know you know) so sometimes names or things are changed so that it's not "too" obvious on what they are.
0:37 I think the special thing is the redstone tutorial underneath it. Especially seeing as the devs renamed the "small portal statue". If anything, the rename shows that the portal WAS planned at one point, but it's no longer a portal. You want an alternative explanation? The "small portal statue" name was a leftover from an abandoned plan. Simple as that.
If they do, that would be great. However, I imagine that it would take an insane amount of time to plan, design, code and test a new dimension so it can actually feel like part of the game. So, should they do it? Absolutely! Nevertheless, I would rather wait another 3 years to play something good than to play a rushed dimension that feels improvised, and empty, for next year.
When you consider the Caves and Cliffs rollout... yes I totally agree! Let's not have any more updates that take 3 parts to deliver less than what the original was supposed to have.
the Wild would be a cool name for the dimension. The name "The Wild" as well as the deep dark itself gives me vibes from the book "A Walk on the Wild Side"
@2:34 I am pretty sure--and it would support your theory arguably--that the 'city center' structure also generates in EVERY ancient city, whereas many other sub-structures that make up the overall 'city' seem to RNG generate, that part (the central portal) seems ubiquitous.
I think by far the most likely scenario is we do not get a new dimension in this update. The portal is there to help tell the Sculk's story, add mystery, and hint at lore. The Nether is fresh enough after 1.16 and the End still needs some serious love. This portal might lead to a new dimension some day, but I think that's in the distant future if it's the case. The Wild update seemed to have a focus on the overworld, and a new dimension now would overshadow that.
Basically, Mojang stated a new dimension IS coming but only once the old ones are fixed up, the nether is for now fixed, overworld is being fixed and probably will be for a few updates and the end is really in need of one, but a new dimension will come after that.
So here's something. I agree that there will be a new dimension. Eventually at least. And also I can't lose hope cause I love new dimensions. But, one of the devs did say they would update the end before a new dimension is added. My hope is it's an ambiguous timeline rather than a theoretical.
One of other interesting things is that... Sculk does convert XP from dying mobs to more of itself, but... It now exists only in Deep Dark, and Deep Dark has no mobs, so for the time being growth of Sculk is... Almost impossible in natural conditions. It's suspicious for such an elaborated mechanic to not matter in normal gameplay. So I really think that sculk has something even more ambitious to do with it, and that Mojang doesn't want to spoil it heavily, and this in particular will connect presence of mobs and presence of sculk in one place, which is impossible in overworld by now
@@Wheee7245 it sure was a joke about amogus meme. There is no way developers spent months working on the most ambitious structure Minecraft ever seen, just to make an unfunny and long since dead meme another go. I'm certain there is *something* much more to it. Not sure it's specifically the new dimension, but it's surely not the final state of this all thing with Deep Dark and Sculk
@@notveryartificial4486 exactly, as a matter of fact, since the meme points to things that are "sus" why would the devs point to that specific structure as sus if they didn't want any attention on it? I suspect its something.
I think the skulk being there just implies that what used to live there died and caused all the skulk to spread (Which is something the devs implied when the deep dark was revealed) But I think the lack of mobs there is mainly a gameplay thing to prevent Wardens from being spawned 24/7 from Zombies and stuff walking around. But I'm sure it has a lore reason, like the skulk being a fungus that everything wants to avoid or something
@@Blue_Anzu Adding on to this what if there (ofc) was this huge thriving city underground thousands of years ago but by some chance of chain of events that center statue make skulk "appear"(note i didnt say came through it, cuz we dont know for sure if it's a new dimension) and then the inhabitants of the city started dying from the warden or the skulk itself(thus turning into the skulk sensors maybe? idk i dont have any basis for all this, just speculation). This would make sense from a lore perspective imo)
With the secret lab underneath the portal in the newest snapshot, I feel that we will almost certainly be getting a new dimension, given that the cities were experimenting on the skulk before it quickly killed them
If you listen to the exclusive disc that you can get from ancient cities then you will hear the sound of flint and steel (used to open nether portal) and then and ominous other worldly sound.
One possibility is that this is a boss summoning mechanic. Perhaps this is a one way portal that will spawn a climactic battle sequence when certain conditions are met. I'm probably overthinking it though, and it could just be another fairly empty dimension being added.
The underwater monuments also sort of fit that same theme of the nether portal leaking into the OW, or just the obsidian frame in the nether once one in the OW is lit. Prismarine seems like an otherworldly material, and yes a few blocks can be found in uw ruins but that also has no OW source. So there is MC precedent for a structure with a unique and unexplainable origin that does not appear to be related to a dimensional portal. To add I think the UW monument is the most mysterious structure currently in MC.
I'm pretty sure the overworld is the source of the blocks, it's just that they don't spawn anywhere else. if you're gonna question prismarine then question purpur too.
The fact that prismarine doesn't exist in our world either reaffirms that. There are plenty of real world "water stones," or stones that are named after the water like aquamarine that they could have used, but they didn't. Also guardians spawn in UWM, so there isn't really a lore source for prismarine, because it isn't naturally created by the world. It seems to have been created by whoever built the monuments (and maybe genetically engineered guardians) or come from somewhere else. It would make sense if guardian bones were prismarine and when they died it settled and formed the layers of prismarine. Imagine finding caves made of prismarine where the guardians have lived for so long and deep in those caves is where you find the elder guardians or basically queens. That would make sense for them to be the source of prismarine in that case (also, be really cool). But the only place they spawn is in a very much intelligently constructed structure, and the fish that dwell their are called guardians, which means their purpose is for the structure, not the other way around. So the actual source of prismarine is left completely mysterious. Now I really want them to dive deeper into the lore of this...
@@dovahfruit9503 purpur is easy. Chorus fruit grows naturally in the end and purpur is made from popped chorus fruit. There is a natural source of that block that makes sense in it's environment and makes it easily accessible for whoever built the structures.
I don't think that it will lead to a new dimension in 1.19. Here's why: I know that somewhere, Mojang has said that they do not want to add a new dimension until they flesh out all the old ones. The End desperately needs an update. It doesn't make sense for them to add an entirely new dimension. It will just push back against the End getting updated, which I'm sure that Mojang wants.
I wouldn't say desperately especially since if they wanted to do more they would of done it in the end update, besides, if they thought the end needed more, don't you think they would of done something by now? don't get me wrong, they did say that but that doesn't mean their never gonna at least put the new portal in the game at the very least.
@@chucklesdeclown8819 The Nether was only updated (technically) one major update ago (counting Caves and Cliffs part 1 and 2 as the same update, because they added the same type of content). The Nether Was probably a higher priority for Mojang, because more players go there. Then, caves and cliffs and swamp were biome vote candidates, which is why I think they're doing it before the End. Also, the reason I think that the End needs an update is because the ONLY reason players EVER go there is for the elytra and shulker boxes. And now, with the addition of shulker farms, you only need to go once to move the shulker to the overworld. Mojang likes the things that they add to be relevant to the whole game, not just for a couple of hours after you defeat the dragon. I see so much potential for cool end-game stuff in that dimension, and I'm sure Mojang does too. It just doesn't make sense to add an entirely new dimension when one of the existing dimensions is so utterly boring. Better flesh out the content that they have before they add new stuff.
Technically the End already got its update with the Combat Update. It added the End Cities and Elytras... I don't think the Deep Dark will lead to a new dimension in this exact update, but I do believe we'll see this become a dimension before getting a End Update because it already got its update. I mean the whole purpose of the update is to add endgame gear which is the Elytra, and the Nether already beat the End when it comes to stuff like armor and a weapon. What else could you really do? How much more powerful should you actually get? I think the End has served it's purpose as a finale to you're adventure, boring or not imo...

Instead of just a single new dimension, this supposed portal could create a pocket dimension that differs for each city. It’s not so improbable since the developers once released the “Infinity Snapshot” for April Fools which had over 2.1 billion custom dimensions.
The sculk is definitely some kind of supernatural fungus. The stuff literally feeds off of death, much like how real life fungus grows from decay. We also see that Ancient Cities have Soulflame Lanterns in them. It seems like the Ancient Cities were experimenting with death and souls. Conclusion? These guys were totally Necromancers and I blame them for the zombies and skeletons.
Call me weird but I actually don't want another dimension for 2 reasons. 1. All of the current dimensions could use some improvement (especially the end). 2. Each dimension has a different way of generating, the overworld has a surface layer with a bunch of stuff underground, the nether is a giant cavern, and the end is a collection of floating islands. If mojand were to add another dimension, it would either generate the same as one of our current dimensions or they'd have to think of something very creative to make the generation feel interesting.
In one of the last updates of Minecraft, they should add the Aether dimension, as a callback to years ago when it was popularized. Most people didn’t realize you needed a mod for it, as did I, so I think it’d be interesting finally seeing it in the game.
Personally I think it is a dimension as well but it might be a few updates before we get one, this dimension would have to be very fleshed out and engulfed in skulk hence why skulk is starting to escape into the overworld, this would be an incredibly dangerous dimension for even end game players to explore.
Agreed, and the addition of the warden makes me feel like some of this update is trying to make the game harder for end game players, so I if it's a new dimension it will be very difficult.
There's a few things wrong with this idea. Yeah, there's an ancient city in every deep dark biome because the deep dark biome is made specifically for it and for the warden to spawn somewhere without other mobs that would make noise and distract it. And Mojang developers have said that there won't be a new dimension until they're happy with all three we have right now. So I assume there would be an End update first (unless they're happy with its current state which would be sad). A new dimension definitely won't be in 1.19 because they would have announced it last year plus it's way too much work to keep it a secret for a version which is supposed to come out in a few months. I also don't think they'd make it possible to break these blocks if it was a portal to another dimension (since it's not renewable like obsidian and if you break it, you'd lose access to the dimension which would be dumb).
strongest point here is definitely the fact that the end desperately needs an update and i would assume that theyd do that long before adding a new one
yeah, this might just be laying the groundwork for the new dimension before working on the end dimension, then starting to work on the new dimension. the evidence pointed out in this video is strong, especially the "small portal statue" thing, but until the End update comes out, yeah, we aren't likely getting a new dimension soon
I agree, the end is pretty lacking in terms of features, there’s only 3 mobs besides the dragon (one of which rarely ever spawns and is only useful for enderman grinders) and the terrain is made up of literally 2 types of block and one plant species.
Definitely agree but I think this is just them laying down the groundwork/foundation of the possibility of adding a new dimension. The end NEEDS improvement that’s for sure but the potential portal in ancient cities might be coming in future updates. 1.19? Very unlikely with currently evidence. Maybe 1.21 (if 1.20 updates The End) or so on. But at the same time, they might bamboozle as with 1.19 and they add it so who knows.
You may have been wrong about the timing, but we agree with you that it looks like Mojang is planning a new dimension, it wouldnt be the first time they kept a secret about an upcoming feature.
I really like your speculation. The evidence definitely implies a new dimension is coming. HOWEVER, I think they said they won't add any new dimensions until they update ALL the dimensions. The Nether already had a massive update so what's left is the end, and since the end dlc of Minecraft dungeons appeared we pretty much have a good concept of what the end update it'll be (idk if most of the end mobs in the dlc are natural or are mobs that transformed into Lovecraftian like monsters because of the orb of dominance, who knows). So yeah, if we're gonna have a new dimension the devs have to update the end first, and maybe they'll update the nether again eventually if they want. Also, the way you invision the new dimension through the thumbnail... Yeah it'll be literally hell to get past wardens and keep crouching the entire time lol. Remember the warden we currently have is not up to its true potential and they'll give it an ability to *prevent players from just stacking up and attacking it*. We have yet to see the Warden as the true beast it's supposed to be.
Technically the End already got its update with the Combat Update. It added the End Cities and Elytras... I don't think the Deep Dark will lead to a new dimension in this exact update, but I do believe we'll see this become a dimension before getting a End Update because it already got its update. I mean the whole purpose of the update is to add endgame gear which is the Elytra, and the Nether already beat the End when it comes to stuff like armor and a weapon. What else could you really do? How much more powerful should you actually get? I think the End has served it's purpose as a finale to you're adventure, boring or not imo...
I think that the "portal" is a prototype for the end portal because if you look at the portal block (not the frame, the block) it looks almost identical to the skulk. Which means that who ever built the end portal was in the deep dark first. And I think the reason it's in the deep dark (the skulk) is because it will probably end up fading in high light levels, and not because it's from the "portal", although it could be the reason the warden exists. I don't think they will make a new dimension for lore reasons. Kinda like how there was definitely a war with piglyns.The lore is long enough to pretty much have it's own bible at this point. And this would mean that the statue is like a small scale version of the big one, for testing or just concept idk.
I think you're wrong, and this is why. In the 1.19 update, Mojang is paying a lot of attention to the lore of the game. Notice how allays spawn in woodland mansions and pillager outposts? It might suggest that the illagers have captured these allays and are turning them into vexes by their magical powers. The deep dark "portal" is NOT a portal to a new dimension. It's basically a failed attempt of the ancient builders to create a portal to the end. They tried to escape to the end to escape from the overworld, they tried to use soul energy (soul lanterns and soul fire) to ignite this portal, but they failed. It instead corrupted the surroundings and formed skulk. These skulk began slowly multiplying and gave rise to a new species. This species built the deep dark cities, and created the wardens to protect them from the outsiders. Unfortunately this species became extinct overtime, and the only remnants of this civilisation are the warden and the broken down remains of their once magnificent cities. Just my theory.... TL;DR: Minecraft isn't getting a new dimension, this portal thingy is basically an element of lore, like the fake end portal and beacon in the woodland mansion, or maybe the basments of igloos
Or maybe the builders just moved on, to the surface and eventually succeeded in building their portals, leaving their sculk cities to rot, maybe the Warden being there to prevent others from following their path
I think they will add a new dimension eventually, but it is going to be completely different, not like the mods which to me look like the nether just all the blocks are replaced with sculk.
Had a realization like this a few days ago, but it was mostly centered around the design of the Skulk stuff. Look at it! The only design similar to that stuff is in the End Portal itself! So I figure that has to resemble something with dimension-style stuff. Oh yeah! And nothing else so far uses XP for anything, besides the player and enchants/tools
That one April fools update with infinite* dimensions along with being able to now write your own .JSON files to make working dimensions has lead me to believe that we were going to eventually get a new dimension. It very likely has been in consideration and slowly worked on in the spare time for a long while, making sure it wouldn't break anything. Work on it however probably hasn't really picked up until recently. Mojang has been doing a lot of work to the code in behind the scenes. Code that effects the game in ways no one will actually see, but is very much needed to bring in bigger things like a new dimension. Remember how 1.16 brought the ability to have different biomes on the y axis? Ibxtoycat realized that. We just now see the payoff to that years later.
In a lore perspective, i think so but i dont think it will be activateable. The new disc might describe in one bit the portal being opened while the ancient builders are being chased by a wither. You hear sculk detecting sound and the warden being summoned from across the portal. Then he kills the wither and infects this world.
You know the irony of this video performing so well is its the least amount of time I've spent on a video in a really long time xD sometimes the raw concept of a video is worth more than all the work in the world....thanks my guy! At least I'll have something to watch if my channel falls apart xD
I would say the same, and if I'M wrong, I'd eat a Carolina Reaper! (Maybe. I mean, I like the channel and all, but I'm not sure about eating the hottest pepper I even know of.)
I think having this new dimension being called the Wild is definitely one idea and a good twist as for a wild update we haven’t seen much of the Wild being updated aside from the Mangrove swamps… so perhaps they were never really referring to the wild in the overworld anyways…
Wow I really like that instead of sculk dimension The Wiid sounds much more fitting I know it doesn't make sense anymore since this is 10 months later but yeah!
As much as I'd love for them to add a new dimension as the next guy, I do have to bring up that I don't think that they will this update because it doesn't match with what they've said in the past. Previously Mojang have said that they were refraining from adding any new dimensions before they overhauled the 3 existing ones first. We got the Nether Update (Which we all know turned the Nether into a whole new universe...), and Caves and Cliffs was a nice new coat of paint on the Overworld, but without an End Update as well, I really just don't see this theory holding up. That doesn't mean it isn't an intra-dimensional portal thought. I heard a theory recently that I really felt made a lot of sense on the portal: The sculk and whatnot function completely differently to everything else that we're familiar with in the world. While we are typically told to interact with the environment, the Deep Dark is the first environment that we're intended to AVOID. With that in mind, it would make sense if, rather than the player activating the portal and traveling through, they would instead activate the portal only to start some sort of really end-game event where the Deep Dark comes through the portal. That would even be backed up by the fact that the Deep Dark only exists where there's a city. Of course, all of this is just speculation, but it'll be really cool to see whatever they eventually decide to do with it!
Personally, I believe that the portal could actually be a reliable, 2-way portal to the End, which could be activated with something found only in the End, meaning that you have to find the stronghold & defeat the ender dragon first. My guess is that the Wild Update could also secretly be an End update, adding more wilderness to that barren dimension.
Okay but like it makes sense. I mean think, in stranger things, the gate was spreading the decay and what the upsidedown was made out of, same with the ancient cities. Plus they're both kinda blue themed.
im surprised you didnt lead with kingbdogz, for me its the most valuable piece of evidence, but i really appreciate how you compared the ruined nether portals and how the ancient cities would be similar to encourage players to travel to new dimensions. great video, thanks for uploading
I do think it's coming, but definitely not in 1.19. I think 1.20 will be the end update, and then, Mojang will be ready. Just remember, Nothing built can last forever, and over each passing year, the relevancy of this video will fade with time.
Here's the full quote: "Nothing built can last forever. And every legend no matter how great, fades with time. With each passing year, more and more details are lost until all that remains are myths...half truths. To put it simply, lies. And yet, in all the known Universe, between here and the Far Lands, the legend of the Order of the Stone endures, unabridged, as self-evident fact. Indeed, it is only a troubled land that has need for heroes- and ours was so fortunate to have, so long ago, four heroes such as these: Gabriel the Warrior- before whose sword all combatants would tremble. Ellegaard the Redstone Engineer- whose machines would spark an era of invention. Magnus the Rogue- who would channel his destructive creativity for the benefit of all. Soren the Architect- builder of Worlds, and the leader of the Order of the Stone. These four friends together, would give so much to gain their rightful place as four heroes. Their greatest quest would take them on a dangerous journey to fight a mysterious creature known as the Ender Dragon. In the end, the Order of the Stone emerged victorious and the dragon was defeated. The story complete, they slipped away into pages of legend.
In the new Minecraft Game Theory episode breaks down the music disc that reveals the portal was opened and the warden emerged from it. Meaning that the warden came from another world. Which means that another portal does exist. The thing is, will Mojang allow us to open it back up?
A couple weeks ago I floated this idea around Twitter: If the game developers give reinforced deepslate a purpose, such as a portal, make it so activation of that portal requires soul energy in the form of player harvested experience. In the ancient city loot is a block called the Ancient Well of Souls, which stores experience like a battery bank. The Ancient Well of Souls is not player crafted. But is only obtainable inside loot chests exclusively at ancient city ruins. Once placed down beside the reinforced deepslate, players stand on it and activate it to drain their life force experience into the battery. Rinse and repeat until 42 levels, or greater, are stored to activate the portal. As long as the battery has a full charge when it's next to the reinforced deepslate the portal stays powered. But each time the player enters or exits the active portal 3 experience levels are subtracted from the battery. To reuse the portal give more experience up to, and exceeding, level 42 to recharge it. The Ancient Well of Souls does more when not used as a portal power source. It can be used as an infinite experience battery when placed down anywhere other than next to reinforced deepslate. The Ancient Well of Souls is blast proof, piston pushable, iron level minable, redstone compatible, and alt select gives levels back. Also note that if The Ancient Well of Souls is mined up all stored levels are lost, but not if it is moved by a piston. To get levels back from the battery just stand under it and crouch select the bottom of the block to receive three levels at a time. Thank you for reading this far. What do you think?
So, are you gonna eat the ghost pepper? It's not adding a new dimension in 1.19, the "important part to explore in-game" of it is that there's a hidden room below the structure
It would be cool if mojang added another "end" boss like the enderdragon, but instead of getting ender eyes in nether etc, you have to go to that dimension and THEN find ANOTHER portal structure like the stronghold.
I think the ancient city people were guarding or worshipping whatever was behind the portal. But the warden is either from the dimension or the one infected first. They could have been sent to see what was beyond the portal. Also, it says on the enchant table "the warden is not what it seems" and "the axolotls is not what it seems" meaning it could be alien or from the world spreading the sculk.
While it cannot be moved anymore with pistons, it could be quite interesting to see it. If true, I'd bet the way to activate it will be added in the update.
God I hope you’re right about this, seeing how amazing improvements to existing dimensions were (end update, nether update, and now caves) a new dimension would be another level of amazing
I think there's another boss on the other side. A warden is a person who stops people from escaping a prison, so it would make sense if the warden was trying to stop you from opening the portal and letting something out. Maybe this thing on the other side is capable of spreading sculk to the entire overworld. Why else would the most powerful mob in the game be here, killing anything that comes near the city.
I think you might be onto something. I think the portal is kinda sus as well as the new record that we can only find in the deep dark. I wasn't convinced until I remembered that the last music disc we got was Otherside! Coincidence? I think not. The thing I do think you're wrong about is that we're getting it in this update. I find that very unlikely since Mojang tests features with the community and wouldn't add something that didn't get feedback in a snapshot. A new dimension should be added in its own update. I want to know what it is and I want Mojang to involve the community in creating it. Personally, I think the portal frame might actually spawn in a new boss. If it is a dimension though, I want it to be more than just sculk.
I love how Minecraft has framework for a story and lore for its world, but never tells you directly. The ancient cities give me such a vibe of a successful underground civilization that reached out into another dimension, but after some time “something” was corrupted and leaked into their world and destroyed their civilization.
sure it may be a new dimension, but considering what came *from* it, are we sure we want to make the same mistake as the ancient city's Builders? Perhaps it was closed and closed for good reason; this portal being an item of environmental storytelling, a gate to which we should never endeavor to open again...
I know this may sound ridiculous, but you know The End, right? It hasn't changed almost the moment it came out. I'm thinking that since The End is the only Dimension with no changes, then maybe the portal in the middle of the Deep Dark has some kind of connection with it...
1.19 is out and I think there's no new dimension in it, or is it? Could be a 1.20 thing too, although I myself think they're hinting that it indeed _was_ a portal - but it's ancient, it ain't anymore
Yo, this observation really meshes with the fact that the Devs have being putting a lot of time into adding functionality for systematic dimension & terrain generation. Even right now there are experimental features that allow players to write JSON files that anyone can load via in-game gui that causes the game to make new dimensions with custom generation, and all one needs is a admin command to teleport into the custom world. I think you are spot on, why else spend all this time refactoring this feature?
Well, Mojand is also doing this so that other people can create their own dimensions easily... But I do think it would be logical to expect new dimensions using the improved dimension datapack functionality.
@@luviana_ *cough* mods *cough*
@@J_Doodle Mods do it too, yeah. So what? Official support for custom dimensions is still really cool and useful, and a lot of awesome stuff has come out of it.
@@luviana_ if you play java edition the official support means nothing though... if you are on bedrock then yeah, its cool
@@J_Doodle I was talking about Java Edition.
One more thing that I would like to add is that it’s called a “Warden” and Wardens irl are usually guarding something or the head at a prison (I believe)
Maybe the new dimension was like a prison of sorts in the lore of the game? And the warden is what guards this dimension keeping whatever boss that's in there from destroying the world?🤔🤔🤔
Just my guess for the lore tho so idk.🙃🙃🙃
@@BriarThornStudios maybe it'll be the literal minecraft purgatory. Purgatory is depicted as a prison, plus the Sculk theme seems to be tied with sounds and death because Sculk only ever spreads when something dies. Also the Nether is literally hell, and the End (which was supposed to be the Aether) is heaven.
@@BriarThornStudios The Australia in Minecraft lore. XD
@@brickbot2.038 I have been beaten to the ship yard...
@@milkuetea Good point,But the End ain't no Garden of Aeden,It's a Garden of..Voidness
Given the theme of death with the whole update, and how mobs that die next to the catalyst causes more spreading of sculk, it would be dope if to activate the portal you actually had to sacrifice mobs next to the portal, or die next to the portal yourself with a totem of undying
That would be cool
Love the idea of using the Totem if Undying as a sort of “key” to unlock the portal. Makes it so that a player can only activate it about mid game
Ah yes, frogs=death
Gosh this is such a great idea!
No, self killing are +18, mojang don't do that
"They're gonna drop a bomb right before release"

Also another big thing is that the developers have kept delaying the deep dark. It was supposed to be released in 1.17, but now it won’t be fully released until 1.19. Why is it taking them so long? Maybe because they’ve been secretly working on a new dimension this entire time.
@@mellohi6175 nah, they could have started working on the new dimension, but i think they'll definitely work on the end first, then add the new dimension on a latter date
@@charlestonianbuilder344 the point of the end is that it's desolate and boring. Unless they decide to change the reason the end is there, it is likely that the end will stay how it is currently
@@thatrawk well, thats a bad dimension, its a dimension for late game players and if its boring then whats the point of it other than afew things, you can still keep the desolate vibe, but adding new stuff in it can go along way, i never really went to the nether at all until 1.16, there was not much to do there, and not much to see or collect, but with 1.16, it gave new and old players alike to explore the place, the endjust needs more stuff for player to do,
Amogus jeb
Or maybe it's the same reason caves and cliffs was spit in 2
I think the disc "Otherside" also has something to do with the dimension as well, simply because of its title. I like to believe that the new dimension's name is just "Otherside" similar to how the End and the Nether are just words instead of actual names.
All names used to be just words.
@@9nikolai Sure but I think they meant that they are essentially 'named' after their relation to the overworld. Nether just means 'under' or 'below', as canonically it is located underneath the bedrock layer in the overworld. (Even the fact that we call the overworld, the overworld. Again, in relation to the nether). The end is named after the fact that it is where the end of the game is located, and also because it represents the outer reaches of the minecraft world. Naming the new dimension something like 'Eclipsia' or 'Achlys' would be jarring
@@TheDundeeBiscuitLuvU I was referring to how they phrased "actual names".
But on the topic of what another dimension could be called, considering all the clues so far (including what was said in the video and what was said by both of you two), I think it's most likely the name will be something like "The Sculking".
Otherside is likely related to the End since it is (mainly) found in the Stronghold
I got chills when I read your comment!
Dude, person, whoever you are,
if you’re right about this,
I will remember your name!
To support this even further, the concept art for the trypophobia sculk literally says "The sculk could be a texture disease that creates these hole clusters and corrupt blocks, REVEALING THE DARK VOID OF 'THE HOLLOW' through their disgusting holes."
The developers were toying with the idea of another dimension, even with the early sculk concepts, and now that we know theres a portal I think its safe to assume that there will probably be another dimention, even if it isnt in the upcoming wild update or called the hollow.
The Hollow Update
Another dimension would be amazing. I really hope they do add one because at the moment there doesn't seem like much of a reason to explore a deep dark city, the only unique item is a pair of boots with the new swift sneak enchantment, as the sculk blocks can easily be obtained in the outer portions of the biome without having to venture into the cities.
the hollow sounds like an epic dimension honestly
even if it's already a biome in terraria
@@Lunarcreeper
No, that's the Hallow, a land of intense, concentrated "good" to the point of toxicity. Judging by the Warden, the Hollow would likely more closely resemble the Corruption.
@@gamerdomain6618 alternatively, like how Hollow Knight does it: the dimension added (if it is real) might be.. decayed, a shell of what it once was. A "hollow"ed dimension of emptiness and rot
I personally think that “the wild update” might not even be the real name of the update since the only “wild” thing we’ve gotten so far are the mangrove swamps… It seems that this update is made completely around ancient cities and deep dark. The mangrove swamps are just a side thing like taiga in 1.14
tbh, the MILD update is really caves and cliffs pt 3. Mojang just don't want to admit it
this didnt age well
I agree. This would also fix the issue of adding incentive for people to go to these cities. Right now risking an encounter with the Warden isn't worth the loot.
I mean, faster sneaking can be very useful in pvp (maybe...)
Cmon, only kids trust that
I think there are some thins they are keeping secret as a surprise. I think they accidentally leaked the swift sneak, didn't they? Either way, I think they are smart enough to know there needs to be more. But the skulk itself is a good reason to go down there, especially if hou are into redstone.
There's quite a few cool things in there, and I'm sure they'll add more, that makes going there a bit worth it. You can get really nice gear there early on along with the disc and possibly other stuff if you're into redstone or building!
One is sure for it will be a portal, is that square design and non removable block, so there s no other use for it instead. Or maybe we can watch live stream from there 🤣
I saw an interview with one of the developers several years ago (sorry, I don't remember who), and someone asked when a new dimension would be added. The answer was basically, "when we're satisfied with the dimensions we already have." This was before the Nether update, and since then we have seen dramatic overhauls of both the Nether and the Overworld. I would predict that the End will be next, along with more content being added to a few more Overworld biomes like the desert. After that, we'll finally see a new dimension.
Desert doesnt need update. Its a barren wasteland. Its a desert. Only think i think that could improve is lizards and snakes. Other than that they hit the nail on the barren desert. Even the badlands are a new form of desert with just little tweaks and more color.
Yeah the end definitely needs some more content. Now its just kill dragon get elytra get out. A simple 10min adventure. Maybe build exp farm too lol, but thats it.
And while it doesnt look like it sadly, i want the new dimension to be like the Aether mod :O
@@YeeterMcBeater470 pog congrats

Do you think it's weird there's now an apparent portal in the Deep Dark biome which appears with ancient city structures in large caverns deep in the overworld and that previously there was a mod with an item called Deep Dark Portal which transported the player to the Deep Dark dimension where one found large, dark caverns?
I've definitely had that thought before. In fact for a while if you Google "deep dark minecraft" it would even recommend that mod before it even mentions 1.19.
Kinda sus lol

It’s been a year, I wonder how that new dimension is doing
😭
I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say that the Portal has to be activated by a specific item that can only be found in Archeological sites. Therefore the Wild dimension wont come until the Archeology update arrives.
I think that would be so cool. It also occurred to me as well, but at the same time someone suggested a while ago that along with archeology they could do a structure update where they update all of the old structures, which I think I like more. So I think I want them to just wait to add the new dimension until they have updated all the existing biomes and the end and caught up on everything they promised. I honestly don't mind waiting a few years for the portal to have a function so that they can do it all right and give everything the love it deserves.
Another good theory
That’s a good theory
That's a good theory, perhaps there'll be some sort of pedestal that you can find that'll have a place at the portal, and requires some sort of soul item to use?
mojiang said no more demtions
I think that even if The Wilds dimension isn't added in this update, it might be added in the next or future updates. It might just be a placeholder for future ideas similar to how the fletching table and other similar tables didn't have an actual use until they added their usage in future updates.
The fletching table STILL doesn't really have a use
@@yoursleepparalysisdemon8752 the Smithing Table is a much better example of a block that didn’t have a use for a very long time. It was added (I think) in the Village and Pillage update but finally got a use when netherite was added.

"Warden" makes me think of prison, so I don't think it'll be a portal to go through; I think it's a portal to a void cell that a new boss escapes from.
I like how you turned the expectation around. 🤔 It is an awfully wide portal.
Oh! True! Interesting...
That...sounds horrifying. I'm into it. Can't wait to 💖die💖 in the deepdark. If The Warden is already this powerful, I can't imagine how powerful a new possible boss mob that comes from that 'portal' will be. 😳

@@noctysapra maybe the warden is actually stronger than the prisoner but the prisoner is the sculk (a parasite)
if they are, my guess is that The Wild Update will be laying the groundwork for the way to enter the new dimension while they work on natural dangers, biomes, mobs and possibly ores or variations on vanilla ores (would be cool for this theorized dimension to be an exact flip of the Overworld where diamonds are more common than Iron the higher you go) and let the theory pot stir a bit more to draw more hype for when it is announced, plus I honestly think they should update The End before adding a whole new dimension
They could add a new ore that works like Netherite, it can be added to diamond to upgrade it in some other way

I would like to point out that what could be be stairs going up to the "Portal" is bigger than any player to use normally, A block taller that is. This could imply that whatever is in this potential biome is MUCH bigger than us. And even though the Portal Statue is now just put to the file name Statue, guess what? Security Breach's Princess Quest character had the file name Cassidy (If you Know you know) so sometimes names or things are changed so that it's not "too" obvious on what they are.
0:37 I think the special thing is the redstone tutorial underneath it. Especially seeing as the devs renamed the "small portal statue". If anything, the rename shows that the portal WAS planned at one point, but it's no longer a portal. You want an alternative explanation? The "small portal statue" name was a leftover from an abandoned plan. Simple as that.
nah
@@Spark412 denial
If they do, that would be great. However, I imagine that it would take an insane amount of time to plan, design, code and test a new dimension so it can actually feel like part of the game.
So, should they do it? Absolutely!
Nevertheless, I would rather wait another 3 years to play something good than to play a rushed dimension that feels improvised, and empty, for next year.
When you consider the Caves and Cliffs rollout... yes I totally agree! Let's not have any more updates that take 3 parts to deliver less than what the original was supposed to have.
In one of the future updates, we are going to get a multiverse update with different dimensions

@2:34
I am pretty sure--and it would support your theory arguably--that the 'city center' structure also generates in EVERY ancient city, whereas many other sub-structures that make up the overall 'city' seem to RNG generate, that part (the central portal) seems ubiquitous.
Yeah the same way every stronghold generates with the End portal
I think by far the most likely scenario is we do not get a new dimension in this update. The portal is there to help tell the Sculk's story, add mystery, and hint at lore.
The Nether is fresh enough after 1.16 and the End still needs some serious love. This portal might lead to a new dimension some day, but I think that's in the distant future if it's the case. The Wild update seemed to have a focus on the overworld, and a new dimension now would overshadow that.
Basically, Mojang stated a new dimension IS coming but only once the old ones are fixed up, the nether is for now fixed, overworld is being fixed and probably will be for a few updates and the end is really in need of one, but a new dimension will come after that.
I hope it's like the upside down from stranger things. a dimension that mirrors the overworld but is creepy, dark, and infested
So here's something. I agree that there will be a new dimension. Eventually at least. And also I can't lose hope cause I love new dimensions. But, one of the devs did say they would update the end before a new dimension is added. My hope is it's an ambiguous timeline rather than a theoretical.
They already updated the end in 1.9(:
@@Nightmare0594 It doesn't matter, it's not enough for End. It's like the update that bring nether fortress into Nether.
One of other interesting things is that... Sculk does convert XP from dying mobs to more of itself, but... It now exists only in Deep Dark, and Deep Dark has no mobs, so for the time being growth of Sculk is... Almost impossible in natural conditions. It's suspicious for such an elaborated mechanic to not matter in normal gameplay. So I really think that sculk has something even more ambitious to do with it, and that Mojang doesn't want to spoil it heavily, and this in particular will connect presence of mobs and presence of sculk in one place, which is impossible in overworld by now
@@Wheee7245 it sure was a joke about amogus meme. There is no way developers spent months working on the most ambitious structure Minecraft ever seen, just to make an unfunny and long since dead meme another go. I'm certain there is *something* much more to it. Not sure it's specifically the new dimension, but it's surely not the final state of this all thing with Deep Dark and Sculk
@@notveryartificial4486 exactly, as a matter of fact, since the meme points to things that are "sus" why would the devs point to that specific structure as sus if they didn't want any attention on it? I suspect its something.
I think the skulk being there just implies that what used to live there died and caused all the skulk to spread (Which is something the devs implied when the deep dark was revealed)
But I think the lack of mobs there is mainly a gameplay thing to prevent Wardens from being spawned 24/7 from Zombies and stuff walking around. But I'm sure it has a lore reason, like the skulk being a fungus that everything wants to avoid or something
@@Blue_Anzu Adding on to this what if there (ofc) was this huge thriving city underground thousands of years ago but by some chance of chain of events that center statue make skulk "appear"(note i didnt say came through it, cuz we dont know for sure if it's a new dimension) and then the inhabitants of the city started dying from the warden or the skulk itself(thus turning into the skulk sensors maybe? idk i dont have any basis for all this, just speculation). This would make sense from a lore perspective imo)
I think mobs don't spawn because they know not to go near it or else they die lol
With the secret lab underneath the portal in the newest snapshot, I feel that we will almost certainly be getting a new dimension, given that the cities were experimenting on the skulk before it quickly killed them
If you listen to the exclusive disc that you can get from ancient cities then you will hear the sound of flint and steel (used to open nether portal) and then and ominous other worldly sound.
No that's the wrong disc
One possibility is that this is a boss summoning mechanic. Perhaps this is a one way portal that will spawn a climactic battle sequence when certain conditions are met. I'm probably overthinking it though, and it could just be another fairly empty dimension being added.
The underwater monuments also sort of fit that same theme of the nether portal leaking into the OW, or just the obsidian frame in the nether once one in the OW is lit. Prismarine seems like an otherworldly material, and yes a few blocks can be found in uw ruins but that also has no OW source. So there is MC precedent for a structure with a unique and unexplainable origin that does not appear to be related to a dimensional portal. To add I think the UW monument is the most mysterious structure currently in MC.
Prismarine seems inworldly because its kinda just water stone
You can make prismarine with prismarine shards dropped from guardians, though.
I'm pretty sure the overworld is the source of the blocks, it's just that they don't spawn anywhere else. if you're gonna question prismarine then question purpur too.
The fact that prismarine doesn't exist in our world either reaffirms that. There are plenty of real world "water stones," or stones that are named after the water like aquamarine that they could have used, but they didn't. Also guardians spawn in UWM, so there isn't really a lore source for prismarine, because it isn't naturally created by the world. It seems to have been created by whoever built the monuments (and maybe genetically engineered guardians) or come from somewhere else. It would make sense if guardian bones were prismarine and when they died it settled and formed the layers of prismarine. Imagine finding caves made of prismarine where the guardians have lived for so long and deep in those caves is where you find the elder guardians or basically queens. That would make sense for them to be the source of prismarine in that case (also, be really cool). But the only place they spawn is in a very much intelligently constructed structure, and the fish that dwell their are called guardians, which means their purpose is for the structure, not the other way around. So the actual source of prismarine is left completely mysterious. Now I really want them to dive deeper into the lore of this...
@@dovahfruit9503 purpur is easy. Chorus fruit grows naturally in the end and purpur is made from popped chorus fruit. There is a natural source of that block that makes sense in it's environment and makes it easily accessible for whoever built the structures.
I don't think that it will lead to a new dimension in 1.19.
Here's why:
I know that somewhere, Mojang has said that they do not want to add a new dimension until they flesh out all the old ones. The End desperately needs an update. It doesn't make sense for them to add an entirely new dimension. It will just push back against the End getting updated, which I'm sure that Mojang wants.
Well, it may at least be a placeholder for q future dimension. Time will tell!
I wouldn't say desperately especially since if they wanted to do more they would of done it in the end update, besides, if they thought the end needed more, don't you think they would of done something by now? don't get me wrong, they did say that but that doesn't mean their never gonna at least put the new portal in the game at the very least.
@@chucklesdeclown8819 The Nether was only updated (technically) one major update ago (counting Caves and Cliffs part 1 and 2 as the same update, because they added the same type of content). The Nether Was probably a higher priority for Mojang, because more players go there. Then, caves and cliffs and swamp were biome vote candidates, which is why I think they're doing it before the End.
Also, the reason I think that the End needs an update is because the ONLY reason players EVER go there is for the elytra and shulker boxes. And now, with the addition of shulker farms, you only need to go once to move the shulker to the overworld. Mojang likes the things that they add to be relevant to the whole game, not just for a couple of hours after you defeat the dragon.
I see so much potential for cool end-game stuff in that dimension, and I'm sure Mojang does too. It just doesn't make sense to add an entirely new dimension when one of the existing dimensions is so utterly boring. Better flesh out the content that they have before they add new stuff.
The end was updated in Minecraft dungeons. Mobs not included
Technically the End already got its update with the Combat Update. It added the End Cities and Elytras... I don't think the Deep Dark will lead to a new dimension in this exact update, but I do believe we'll see this become a dimension before getting a End Update because it already got its update. I mean the whole purpose of the update is to add endgame gear which is the Elytra, and the Nether already beat the End when it comes to stuff like armor and a weapon. What else could you really do? How much more powerful should you actually get? I think the End has served it's purpose as a finale to you're adventure, boring or not imo...

Mojang has literally said that they are NOT adding new dimensions to Minecraft
There is a high chance that this portal is a dungeon run, it would explain why some sounds in disc 5 are from minecraft dungeon.
Instead of just a single new dimension, this supposed portal could create a pocket dimension that differs for each city. It’s not so improbable since the developers once released the “Infinity Snapshot” for April Fools which had over 2.1 billion custom dimensions.
The sculk is definitely some kind of supernatural fungus. The stuff literally feeds off of death, much like how real life fungus grows from decay. We also see that Ancient Cities have Soulflame Lanterns in them. It seems like the Ancient Cities were experimenting with death and souls.
Conclusion? These guys were totally Necromancers and I blame them for the zombies and skeletons.
Call me weird but I actually don't want another dimension for 2 reasons.
1. All of the current dimensions could use some improvement (especially the end).
2. Each dimension has a different way of generating, the overworld has a surface layer with a bunch of stuff underground, the nether is a giant cavern, and the end is a collection of floating islands. If mojand were to add another dimension, it would either generate the same as one of our current dimensions or they'd have to think of something very creative to make the generation feel interesting.
Also "small_portal_statue" is just called "small_statue" now in the full release
In one of the last updates of Minecraft, they should add the Aether dimension, as a callback to years ago when it was popularized. Most people didn’t realize you needed a mod for it, as did I, so I think it’d be interesting finally seeing it in the game.
Adding the whole dimension is a bit more than a "callback".
Pretty sure they hired the guy that did that mod btw
Update: yep, they did. They're called 'Kingbdogz'
Personally I think it is a dimension as well but it might be a few updates before we get one, this dimension would have to be very fleshed out and engulfed in skulk hence why skulk is starting to escape into the overworld, this would be an incredibly dangerous dimension for even end game players to explore.
Agreed, and the addition of the warden makes me feel like some of this update is trying to make the game harder for end game players, so I if it's a new dimension it will be very difficult.
@@Ollie_nel Mojang does have a habit of adding hidden surprises, for example the Piglin Brute in the Nether update.

There's a few things wrong with this idea. Yeah, there's an ancient city in every deep dark biome because the deep dark biome is made specifically for it and for the warden to spawn somewhere without other mobs that would make noise and distract it. And Mojang developers have said that there won't be a new dimension until they're happy with all three we have right now. So I assume there would be an End update first (unless they're happy with its current state which would be sad). A new dimension definitely won't be in 1.19 because they would have announced it last year plus it's way too much work to keep it a secret for a version which is supposed to come out in a few months. I also don't think they'd make it possible to break these blocks if it was a portal to another dimension (since it's not renewable like obsidian and if you break it, you'd lose access to the dimension which would be dumb).
strongest point here is definitely the fact that the end desperately needs an update and i would assume that theyd do that long before adding a new one
Yes it seems like Mojang's intention is to finish their current dimensions before working on any new ones
yeah, this might just be laying the groundwork for the new dimension before working on the end dimension, then starting to work on the new dimension. the evidence pointed out in this video is strong, especially the "small portal statue" thing, but until the End update comes out, yeah, we aren't likely getting a new dimension soon
I agree, the end is pretty lacking in terms of features, there’s only 3 mobs besides the dragon (one of which rarely ever spawns and is only useful for enderman grinders) and the terrain is made up of literally 2 types of block and one plant species.
Definitely agree but I think this is just them laying down the groundwork/foundation of the possibility of adding a new dimension. The end NEEDS improvement that’s for sure but the potential portal in ancient cities might be coming in future updates. 1.19? Very unlikely with currently evidence. Maybe 1.21 (if 1.20 updates The End) or so on. But at the same time, they might bamboozle as with 1.19 and they add it so who knows.
You may have been wrong about the timing, but we agree with you that it looks like Mojang is planning a new dimension, it wouldnt be the first time they kept a secret about an upcoming feature.
well this sadly didn't aged well 💀
I really like your speculation. The evidence definitely implies a new dimension is coming. HOWEVER, I think they said they won't add any new dimensions until they update ALL the dimensions. The Nether already had a massive update so what's left is the end, and since the end dlc of Minecraft dungeons appeared we pretty much have a good concept of what the end update it'll be (idk if most of the end mobs in the dlc are natural or are mobs that transformed into Lovecraftian like monsters because of the orb of dominance, who knows). So yeah, if we're gonna have a new dimension the devs have to update the end first, and maybe they'll update the nether again eventually if they want. Also, the way you invision the new dimension through the thumbnail... Yeah it'll be literally hell to get past wardens and keep crouching the entire time lol. Remember the warden we currently have is not up to its true potential and they'll give it an ability to *prevent players from just stacking up and attacking it*. We have yet to see the Warden as the true beast it's supposed to be.
It would be insane if Mojang added an entire End revamp and a new dimension in one update, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they did.
Technically the End already got its update with the Combat Update. It added the End Cities and Elytras... I don't think the Deep Dark will lead to a new dimension in this exact update, but I do believe we'll see this become a dimension before getting a End Update because it already got its update. I mean the whole purpose of the update is to add endgame gear which is the Elytra, and the Nether already beat the End when it comes to stuff like armor and a weapon. What else could you really do? How much more powerful should you actually get? I think the End has served it's purpose as a finale to you're adventure, boring or not imo...
Lovecraftian like monsters?.. So Minecraft is Secretly Terraria in 3D?

@@mansionbookerstudios9629 What?
I think that the "portal" is a prototype for the end portal because if you look at the portal block (not the frame, the block) it looks almost identical to the skulk. Which means that who ever built the end portal was in the deep dark first. And I think the reason it's in the deep dark (the skulk) is because it will probably end up fading in high light levels, and not because it's from the "portal", although it could be the reason the warden exists. I don't think they will make a new dimension for lore reasons. Kinda like how there was definitely a war with piglyns.The lore is long enough to pretty much have it's own bible at this point. And this would mean that the statue is like a small scale version of the big one, for testing or just concept idk.
Minecraft end credits? Maybe a part two.
I think you're wrong, and this is why. In the 1.19 update, Mojang is paying a lot of attention to the lore of the game. Notice how allays spawn in woodland mansions and pillager outposts? It might suggest that the illagers have captured these allays and are turning them into vexes by their magical powers.
The deep dark "portal" is NOT a portal to a new dimension. It's basically a failed attempt of the ancient builders to create a portal to the end. They tried to escape to the end to escape from the overworld, they tried to use soul energy (soul lanterns and soul fire) to ignite this portal, but they failed. It instead corrupted the surroundings and formed skulk. These skulk began slowly multiplying and gave rise to a new species. This species built the deep dark cities, and created the wardens to protect them from the outsiders. Unfortunately this species became extinct overtime, and the only remnants of this civilisation are the warden and the broken down remains of their once magnificent cities.
Just my theory.... TL;DR: Minecraft isn't getting a new dimension, this portal thingy is basically an element of lore, like the fake end portal and beacon in the woodland mansion, or maybe the basments of igloos
Or maybe the builders just moved on, to the surface and eventually succeeded in building their portals, leaving their sculk cities to rot, maybe the Warden being there to prevent others from following their path
I think they will add a new dimension eventually, but it is going to be completely different, not like the mods which to me look like the nether just all the blocks are replaced with sculk.
imagine ur in the deep cave and u get blind effect and a warden just comes running at you
3:06 end gateway portal. edit: oh nevermind i should watch past it to see if you say it.
Hahaha I've been guilty of this so many times
Had a realization like this a few days ago, but it was mostly centered around the design of the Skulk stuff. Look at it! The only design similar to that stuff is in the End Portal itself! So I figure that has to resemble something with dimension-style stuff. Oh yeah! And nothing else so far uses XP for anything, besides the player and enchants/tools

@@mansionbookerstudios9629 I said shut up
That one April fools update with infinite* dimensions along with being able to now write your own .JSON files to make working dimensions has lead me to believe that we were going to eventually get a new dimension. It very likely has been in consideration and slowly worked on in the spare time for a long while, making sure it wouldn't break anything. Work on it however probably hasn't really picked up until recently. Mojang has been doing a lot of work to the code in behind the scenes. Code that effects the game in ways no one will actually see, but is very much needed to bring in bigger things like a new dimension. Remember how 1.16 brought the ability to have different biomes on the y axis? Ibxtoycat realized that. We just now see the payoff to that years later.

I didn't have to watch some Ibxtoycat to know this. It was stated in the snapshot which it added.
In a lore perspective, i think so but i dont think it will be activateable. The new disc might describe in one bit the portal being opened while the ancient builders are being chased by a wither. You hear sculk detecting sound and the warden being summoned from across the portal. Then he kills the wither and infects this world.
Warden - a person responsible for the supervision of a particular place or thing or for ensuring that regulations associated with it are obeyed.
I think it might happen, they're probably just concepts for a new dimension, but we're definitely getting one in a few years.

I would say the same, and if I'M wrong, I'd eat a Carolina Reaper! (Maybe. I mean, I like the channel and all, but I'm not sure about eating the hottest pepper I even know of.)
I think having this new dimension being called the Wild is definitely one idea and a good twist as for a wild update we haven’t seen much of the Wild being updated aside from the Mangrove swamps… so perhaps they were never really referring to the wild in the overworld anyways…
Wow I really like that instead of sculk dimension The Wiid sounds much more fitting I know it doesn't make sense anymore since this is 10 months later but yeah!
Rather than the dimension being filled to the brim with Wardens I like to think the Warden is the guardian that stops you from entering his home.
This didn't age well
As much as I'd love for them to add a new dimension as the next guy, I do have to bring up that I don't think that they will this update because it doesn't match with what they've said in the past. Previously Mojang have said that they were refraining from adding any new dimensions before they overhauled the 3 existing ones first. We got the Nether Update (Which we all know turned the Nether into a whole new universe...), and Caves and Cliffs was a nice new coat of paint on the Overworld, but without an End Update as well, I really just don't see this theory holding up.
That doesn't mean it isn't an intra-dimensional portal thought. I heard a theory recently that I really felt made a lot of sense on the portal: The sculk and whatnot function completely differently to everything else that we're familiar with in the world. While we are typically told to interact with the environment, the Deep Dark is the first environment that we're intended to AVOID. With that in mind, it would make sense if, rather than the player activating the portal and traveling through, they would instead activate the portal only to start some sort of really end-game event where the Deep Dark comes through the portal. That would even be backed up by the fact that the Deep Dark only exists where there's a city.
Of course, all of this is just speculation, but it'll be really cool to see whatever they eventually decide to do with it!
Ooh, maybe like the old ones army from terraria
Personally, I believe that the portal could actually be a reliable, 2-way portal to the End, which could be activated with something found only in the End, meaning that you have to find the stronghold & defeat the ender dragon first.
My guess is that the Wild Update could also secretly be an End update, adding more wilderness to that barren dimension.
Issue with this is that the deepdark cities will be rare, like super rare.
@@LazyLoonz Strongholds are rare too. There's only like two in each map

ok, 1:20 actually was amazing proof
Okay but like it makes sense. I mean think, in stranger things, the gate was spreading the decay and what the upsidedown was made out of, same with the ancient cities. Plus they're both kinda blue themed.
Imagine if a new dimension from the deep dark portal already exits but Mojang hasn’t said it exists or how to light it lol
I do hope they'll add new dimensions in the future. Like a lot of new dimensions. Then it'll go from magical fantasy to sci-fi.
im surprised you didnt lead with kingbdogz, for me its the most valuable piece of evidence, but i really appreciate how you compared the ruined nether portals and how the ancient cities would be similar to encourage players to travel to new dimensions. great video, thanks for uploading
Lol ngl I wanted a "mic drop" moment at the end hahaha. Thanks man! Really glad you liked it :)
@@CodeNeonMC r/hmmmmmm
I do think it's coming, but definitely not in 1.19. I think 1.20 will be the end update, and then, Mojang will be ready. Just remember, Nothing built can last forever, and over each passing year, the relevancy of this video will fade with time.
Here's the full quote: "Nothing built can last forever. And every legend no matter how great, fades with time. With each passing year, more and more details are lost until all that remains are myths...half truths. To put it simply, lies. And yet, in all the known Universe, between here and the Far Lands, the legend of the Order of the Stone endures, unabridged, as self-evident fact.
Indeed, it is only a troubled land that has need for heroes- and ours was so fortunate to have, so long ago, four heroes such as these: Gabriel the Warrior- before whose sword all combatants would tremble. Ellegaard the Redstone Engineer- whose machines would spark an era of invention. Magnus the Rogue- who would channel his destructive creativity for the benefit of all. Soren the Architect- builder of Worlds, and the leader of the Order of the Stone. These four friends together, would give so much to gain their rightful place as four heroes.
Their greatest quest would take them on a dangerous journey to fight a mysterious creature known as the Ender Dragon. In the end, the Order of the Stone emerged victorious and the dragon was defeated. The story complete, they slipped away into pages of legend.
I'll be honest, the small portal statue looks REALLY like a disc
In the new Minecraft Game Theory episode breaks down the music disc that reveals the portal was opened and the warden emerged from it. Meaning that the warden came from another world. Which means that another portal does exist. The thing is, will Mojang allow us to open it back up?
This aged poorly
A couple weeks ago I floated this idea around Twitter:
If the game developers give reinforced deepslate a purpose, such as a portal, make it so activation of that portal requires soul energy in the form of player harvested experience. In the ancient city loot is a block called the Ancient Well of Souls, which stores experience like a battery bank. The Ancient Well of Souls is not player crafted. But is only obtainable inside loot chests exclusively at ancient city ruins. Once placed down beside the reinforced deepslate, players stand on it and activate it to drain their life force experience into the battery. Rinse and repeat until 42 levels, or greater, are stored to activate the portal. As long as the battery has a full charge when it's next to the reinforced deepslate the portal stays powered. But each time the player enters or exits the active portal 3 experience levels are subtracted from the battery. To reuse the portal give more experience up to, and exceeding, level 42 to recharge it.
The Ancient Well of Souls does more when not used as a portal power source. It can be used as an infinite experience battery when placed down anywhere other than next to reinforced deepslate. The Ancient Well of Souls is blast proof, piston pushable, iron level minable, redstone compatible, and alt select gives levels back.
Also note that if The Ancient Well of Souls is mined up all stored levels are lost, but not if it is moved by a piston. To get levels back from the battery just stand under it and crouch select the bottom of the block to receive three levels at a time.
Thank you for reading this far. What do you think?
Yeah i can agree
Imagine, after killing the Warden, it gives u his soul so u can turn on the portal
So, are you gonna eat the ghost pepper? It's not adding a new dimension in 1.19, the "important part to explore in-game" of it is that there's a hidden room below the structure
This has aged poorly.
It would be cool if mojang added another "end" boss like the enderdragon, but instead of getting ender eyes in nether etc, you have to go to that dimension and THEN find ANOTHER portal structure like the stronghold.

I remember them saying before they make a new dimension they will need to fix everything first and the last thing they need to fix is the end
Hopefully strongholds too
I think the ancient city people were guarding or worshipping whatever was behind the portal. But the warden is either from the dimension or the one infected first. They could have been sent to see what was beyond the portal. Also, it says on the enchant table "the warden is not what it seems" and "the axolotls is not what it seems" meaning it could be alien or from the world spreading the sculk.
It is a SHRINE
I think the Deep Dark Dimension will be the opposite of the Aether

Maybe in the new dimension there will be a boss kinda like the wardens twin. Instead of a sad face on the warden, there’s a happy face on the twin
While it cannot be moved anymore with pistons, it could be quite interesting to see it. If true, I'd bet the way to activate it will be added in the update.
God I hope you’re right about this, seeing how amazing improvements to existing dimensions were (end update, nether update, and now caves) a new dimension would be another level of amazing
This aged well
I think there's another boss on the other side. A warden is a person who stops people from escaping a prison, so it would make sense if the warden was trying to stop you from opening the portal and letting something out. Maybe this thing on the other side is capable of spreading sculk to the entire overworld. Why else would the most powerful mob in the game be here, killing anything that comes near the city.
"there's a city in every deep dark biome"
This video has not aged well lmao
1.19 version is already released and it does'nt have any new dimension
Pretty interesting! Would be so cool to get another dimension, though I hope they do something cool with it, so it's not "just another dimension".
It not a portal
I think you might be onto something. I think the portal is kinda sus as well as the new record that we can only find in the deep dark. I wasn't convinced until I remembered that the last music disc we got was Otherside! Coincidence? I think not. The thing I do think you're wrong about is that we're getting it in this update. I find that very unlikely since Mojang tests features with the community and wouldn't add something that didn't get feedback in a snapshot. A new dimension should be added in its own update. I want to know what it is and I want Mojang to involve the community in creating it.
Personally, I think the portal frame might actually spawn in a new boss. If it is a dimension though, I want it to be more than just sculk.
I love how Minecraft has framework for a story and lore for its world, but never tells you directly. The ancient cities give me such a vibe of a successful underground civilization that reached out into another dimension, but after some time “something” was corrupted and leaked into their world and destroyed their civilization.
So... it never came out
Ghost pepper time.
sure it may be a new dimension, but considering what came *from* it, are we sure we want to make the same mistake as the ancient city's Builders? Perhaps it was closed and closed for good reason; this portal being an item of environmental storytelling, a gate to which we should never endeavor to open again...
I know this may sound ridiculous, but you know The End, right? It hasn't changed almost the moment it came out. I'm thinking that since The End is the only Dimension with no changes, then maybe the portal in the middle of the Deep Dark has some kind of connection with it...
I love the idea of a new dimension! I really hope this is the case. But either way you should try to do some kind of video featuring ghost peppers lol
