History of Humans in Minecraft

for centuries we've seen humanity's evolution through periods of unrivaled innovation like the renaissance to some of the darkest times during the middle ages but what if humanity didn't start in the world we know today what if humanity started in minecraft how would history be altered what time periods could never happen and what new ones will be created what kind of civilizations would develop this is the history of humanity in minecraft real quick i make videos applying different real world concepts to minecraft and i have a lot of interesting ones planned so if you like what you see here consider subscribing and leaving a like now sit back relax and enjoy the video our journey begins in 30 000 bc humanity is undergoing the hunters and gatherers phase where communities constantly move around to find new sources of food we discover the power of fire and craft tools to aid us in the hostile world we'd get out of the stone age pretty fast but instead of having to fight the wildlife humanities main enemy will be dangerous mobs like baby zombies creepers and endermen there'll be a lot of trial and error as we discover how to fight these monsters in groups but there'll definitely be that one guy that somehow dies to a zombie soon the agricultural revolution rolls around and communities will start settling down next to their farms in the real world this process took a couple millennia but in minecraft although people have to discover crafting recipes and various mechanics it'll still take a lot less time seasons wouldn't exist so crops can be grown at any time and ice age-like events would be a complete joke because minecraft wheat can grow in the extreme cold all you need is for someone to accidentally stick bone meal into the soil and you can grow bread in under 10 seconds compared to 8 months in reality the main downside for our ancestors was this changed their diet from hundreds of different plants and animals to just a couple which cause malnutrition but this isn't a problem with the hunger bar which allows you to eat pork chops for the rest of your life at 4000 bc the first civilization is born in mesopotamia due to its close proximity to rivers and fertile land in minecraft this logic applies as well as water can facilitate development of large fishing industries for food and giant farmlands with irrigation systems but since water is not an absolute necessity for survival with no thirst or bathing we'll also see many communities develop in landlocked areas and because there's no such thing as poor sanitation anymore mortality rates during this era will be a lot lower than before each civilization will still be distinct from one another with each being defined by resources native to their biome like sandstone the desert and wood in the plains additionally primitive traps and outposts will likely become a prominent feature of villages to fend off hostile mobs at night with the formation of communities a breeding ground for religious and political ideology is created for example the code of hammurabi came up the eye for an eye doctrine and athens started the beginnings of democracy great civilizations like ancient egypt and ancient greece would still rise as communities assimilate together and accomplish architectural feats such as building the great pyramids and even inventing toothpaste soon the rise of empires across the world will foster a network of relationships complete with trade routes and military alliances but as superpowers begin to emerge the embers of conflict will begin to burn a desire to spread ideology and gain more resources will spark the first wars beginning military tactics wouldn't be all that different in minecraft many early civilizations fought by unleashing a barrage of arrows and then charging in with infantry however the cost of war often falls the hardest on peasants with hikes and taxation so focus on war could spark the first uprisings against the government [Music] in this era civilizations begin to grow more and more sophisticated the advanced domestication of animals will allow for a more abundant food supply introduce horses for quality of life traveling will become much easier for traders and military tactics will be upgraded as time allows for more resources to be extracted armies will become better geared and more deadly the invention of the chanting table will create unprecedented farming efficiency and military power magnitudes of levels higher than ever seen before military training and development will be absolutely key for any civilization that wants to survive this period military tactics like the phalanx formation will be replicated with shields but because of the ability to disable shields with axe crits the formation will be slightly altered with faster rotations societies like sparta would also probably create some pvp gods additionally the invention of the book and quill will allow for the first history to be documented and great philosophers like aristotle plato and socrates will start formulating ethics for society this would lay the foundation for a future era with great social change it's one thing to conquer an entire continent but it's another thing to keep it during this age we'll see massive empires like rome collapse underneath their own weight to add to the chaos this time period also saw the devastation of the bubonic plague or black death which killed one third of all europeans and put all progression on standby for a century but unlike original history humanity's greatest enemy disease is non-existent in minecraft so we'll see this entire era revolutionized instead as civilization crumbles people will have the freedom to adventure we'd see the discovery of other dimensions like the nether and people discovering the end portal where religions might even form around them with people worshiping the end portal as an artifact from the gods societies will punish outcasts and criminals by sending them to the nether for mandatory volunteering lower ranking military officials are stationed in the nether to lead these outcasts in expeditions for resources and loot initially massacring even friendly mobs like striders and pigmen due to ignorance some might even go just for the thrill of adventure as regeneration is exponentially faster in minecraft making people more willing to take risks and explore the unknown soon humanity will have fortified encampments and even entire communities within the nether forging beginnings of a game-changing alchemy industry in the overworld relatively untouched regions like the ocean will be explored and many civilizations separated by water will discover each other more advanced civilizations may try to pull a manifest destiny when they discover a new land with abundant resources [Music] socially this period saw great change knowledge from philosophers like plato would be revitalized for a renaissance-like era with the re-examination of cultural and political beliefs new forms of art will develop through map art and people will try to become renaissance men by obtaining every achievement in minecraft with increased interaction between different peoples ideologies like the in religion will rapidly spread throughout the world however without the invention of the printing press this spread might actually be slower than original history this is the era of innovation the industrial revolution in minecraft would see redstone completely transforming everyday life need to harvest crops there's a farm for that need mob drops there's a farm for that need to extort citizens for financial gain there's a farm for that the true power of redstone will be experimented in depth during this era as engineers experiment with the potential of redstone devices like repeaters dispensers and pistons more modern ways to communicate may even emerge through morse code with redstone lamps officials might even use them to deliver fireside chats like franklin d roosevelt or to intercept certain conversations a great enlightenment happens as people begin to value rationality and start to question the legitimacy of governments and religious rulers architecture will also evolve as minecraft physics allow for more creative freedom houses can turn to floating islands and other unique structures massive prisons like glacier's orb and pandora's vault will be erected to house society's most dangerous criminals the biggest threat to these civilizations would be anarchist groups of powerful nether mercenaries looking for revenge for their mandatory volunteering religions continue to advance with the discovery of the end leading many to worship the ender dragon as a god and sacrifice wrongdoers into the end because of this slaying the enderdragon would make you a notorious criminal and entire wars are fought over returning the dragon egg to the end those who are able to respawn the inner dragon may be seen as prophets with divine power in case you were wondering the salem witch trials would probably look something like this as non-renewable resources like diamonds and netherright begin to deplete societies will begin to expand outward making contact with various civilizations establishing both peaceful and hostile relations many villages might be raised as humans try to subjugate villagers and force them into one-sided trading relationships during this era there'll also probably be another nation like great britain who tries to conquer half the world as more powers become established conflict will brew as nations grow wary of each other's power tensions will arise and potentially start the first global conflicts however unlike the world wars in this era wars and minecraft may not be fought with gunpowder and rifles instead advancements of technology will lead to contraptions of mass destruction that make the battleground deadlier than ever aircraft raining down tnt railguns devastating the landscape fireworks exploding across the battlefield and invisible assassins ready to strike at every corner because of this overwhelming danger trench warfare might actually make its return as the safest place to be is underground and tunnels allow for better security against visibility generals will have to innovate new ways to combat this meta with strategies like fireball dispensers to check for invisible soldiers falling sand traps like guerrilla warfare in vietnam and secret agents who infiltrate and destroy enemy camps eventually technology will advance to a point of no return the threat of massive world eaters will create the concept of mutually sure destruction between countries and force peace to be settled we might even see an era like the cold war where they are ready to be launched at any moment were set up in strategic locations to threaten other countries like the cuban missile crisis into the modern era innovative efforts will be reoriented from war to societal progress redstone airplanes could be mass-produced for commercial use like a do-it-yourself kit where anyone can make their own using blocks calculators computers and maybe even giant ai robots will be created to roam around the wild more collaborative efforts like technology sharing will help with diffusion of technology throughout the world it's also important to note that there is no old age in minecraft so people are essentially granted immortality so there are people who have survived for centuries and entire eras witnessing all these developments take place they would have the influence to create social shifts within society and become important political figures warning people not to repeat history but this also means a life term for an authoritarian dictator could last for a really long time assuming reproduction carries over even with hardcore mode the world population would be exponentially higher with totems of undying health potions no disease and no old age becoming catalyst for overpopulation this could lead to the overcrowding society and hierarchies that form based on age and wealth the main threat to this era of developments will be anarchist groups who oppose this hierarchy and continue their battle against governments with terrorism however unlike reality people who don't like a government can just leave and establish their own communities far away as the minecraft world is seven times larger than earth as long as they don't become a threat to existing powers or are wanted criminals governments would have no incentive to chase them down you might be wondering if things develop much faster in minecraft why is the timeline for history the same well one real life day is 24 hours but one minecraft day is only 20 minutes so every 1000 years of development is really only a couple weeks but the real thing you should be wondering is why am i not subscribed
