The video discusses the three dimensions in Minecraft: the surface, the Nether, and the End. The creator then imagines what would happen if the End didn't exist, taking the viewer back to Beta 1.8, where the game was much simpler. The creator then explores an alternate universe where the "Sky Dimension" existed instead of the End, which was a concept created by Notch, the founder of Minecraft.
The Sky Dimension would have been a peaceful, paradise-like dimension with no hostile mobs and floating islands, but it would have been difficult to access and wouldn't have provided a final objective for the game. The creator suggests that without the End, Minecraft would have lacked an ending, and the game's lore and survival mechanics would have been significantly different.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. Minecraft has three dimensions: the surface, the nether, and the end.
2. The surface is the most varied dimension in Minecraft and is full of resources.
3. The nether is a complex dimension full of different biomes and enemies.
4. The end is a sparse dimension without vegetation, guarded by a fearsome dragon.
5. If the player manages to defeat the dragon, their adventure continues on the desert islands of The End.
6. The end dimension is home to Endermen, and players can find Ender Pearls and create Eyes of Ender.
7. The nether already existed in Beta 1.8, and players could enter it.
8. In Beta 1.8, new mobs were added, but they could not be spawned in creative mode.
9. The main implementation in Beta 1.8 was the food system, which allowed players to get hungry and need to eat.
10. The experience system was also barely implemented in Beta 1.8.
11. Notch originally planned to add a dimension called "The Sky" instead of The End.
12. The Sky dimension would have been a peaceful place with floating islands and no hostile mobs.
13. The Sky dimension would have been similar to the Ender mod, but not exactly like it.
14. Players would have been able to build and explore in The Sky dimension.
15. The Sky dimension would have been accessible through a portal, possibly made of pure and beautiful blocks.
16. If The Sky dimension had been implemented, Minecraft would not have had a final objective, such as killing the Ender Dragon.
17. The creator of the Ender mod, King, might not have created the mod if The Sky dimension had been implemented.
18. King was later hired by Mojang to work on Minecraft, and he has contributed to the game's development, including creating the Warden.
19. Jeff has confirmed that The Sky dimension will never be added to Minecraft.
20. The End dimension is considered extremely important to the game, giving meaning to the entire game.
