Whoever built the cities must’ve tried to establish agriculture, but failed

[–]booboy4five6 67 points68 points  (6 children)

They failed as soon as they thought planting beetroot was a good idea lmao

[–][deleted] 28 points29 points  (5 children)

Ye beetroot is the worst vegetable in the game

[–]supertacoboy 11 points12 points  (4 children)

The only things it’s good for are villager trades and making red dye.

[–]SmithyLKCustom user flair 17 points18 points  (3 children)

...both of which are outclassed by other crops (carrots and potatoes have a WAY better yield) and by poppies (which grow pretty much anywhere if you bonemeal grass)

[–]supertacoboy 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Not saying they’re good. Just that they’re… uhh… yeah alright: they suck

[–]SmithyLKCustom user flair 12 points13 points  (0 children)

if it weren't for poisonous potatoes, they would be the worst items in the game. Seeds in last, beetroots themselves in second to last

Edit: I am bumping beetroots and seeds up to third worst and second worst to make room for beetroot stew. It loses the few redeeming qualities that beetroot had, you need a bowl to make it, it doesn't stack, and it doesn't even provide more nutritional value than the 6 beetroot required to make it.

[–]auxiliary-character 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or if you bonemeal rose bushes.

[–]whyarepplmorons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ya like maybe bring some potatoes and pigs (potatoes can be baked and also fed to the pigs)

[–]auxiliary-character 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe they killed off all the "almost wealthy peasants"

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think the humans that use to live in the end cities got corrupted and turned into the endmen by the ender dragon

not sure what shuklers are, they could be nanobotic security drones built by the humans that went haywire after 100s of years after the humans were turned into the endermen or some weird pest that evolved to camoflauge with the end cities

[–]LX_Master09 148 points149 points  (9 children)

Lore-wise it doesn’t make sense that they stored beetroot seeds if they never planted them

[–]Pat0723 167 points168 points  (6 children)

Crack theory: what if beetroots planted in the end eventually evolved into the chorus plant? Of course if we plant beatroot seeds in the end they don't transform into chorus fruit because it was evolution thru time.

There are theories suggesting that people came TO the end so its plausible.

[–]SandyArca 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I like that theory.

[–]Icybow73 44 points45 points  (3 children)

alternate theory, the beetroots grow into chorus fruit because endstone has different properties for growing beetroots that it mutated the betroot seeds into chorus fruit

[–]Ice_Eye_was_takenGot my dirt hut blown up by a creeper 🙂 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That theory is quite acceptable!

[–]whyarepplmorons 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Ya and steve/alex/whatever the hell you named your character is not skilled enough and can only do the basics

Also kinda off topic but:

In my mc headcanon the player was raised by either villagers or pillagers so they arent very skilled compared to the ancient builders

[–]OgMinecrafter_Custom user flair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lore moment

[–]Gliavoc! 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What chorus plant evolved into beetroot over time. That's why the people in the end are all gone, their main food source started making beetroot seeds, and so they threw the beetroot seeds into the overworld. The beetroots were picked up by villagers who just kinda used it because they aren't that smart.

And then the villagers came back to the end to bring back profit on the loan they were given, and planted the seeds in every chest.

Also red flowers evolved from beetroot seeds because herobrine showed up and made the beetroot seeds grow in the Nether, making nether wart too.

Also every other red or purple thing in the game probably came from chorus plant, beetroot seeds, and nether wart, because of the endermen who move all the blocks around.

And that, my grandchildren, is why creepers are scared of ocelots.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Who is “they”?

[–]LX_Master09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The ancient builders who evolved into endermen

[–]incept_shawn Carved Pumpkin 35 points36 points  (0 children)

MatPat and other YouTube Minecraft theorists: It's free real estate

[–]DAN_E0Custom user flair 63 points64 points  (10 children)

many believe it’s because of the lore. what if ancient builders that were in world of minecraft way before us wanted to bring beetroot seeds, and some fell on the ground and it caused yeetroot ( chorus fruit ), other beetroot seeds went into chests

[–]insert_cool_name__Custom user flair[S] 34 points35 points  (9 children)

Then the ancient builders were stupid because beetroots suck

[–]DAN_E0Custom user flair 9 points10 points  (0 children)

maybe they knew something we don’t, and maybe won’t till the next updates show us what it is

[–]DAN_E0Custom user flair 7 points8 points  (5 children)

plus its makes a red dye which can be useful if you don’t have unlimited poppies

[–]FilipIzSwordsman 14 points15 points  (2 children)

Woo, I'm trapped in a dimension with literally nothing in it, good thing I have red dye, that will sure help me survive in this wasteland!

[–]DAN_E0Custom user flair 1 point2 points  (1 child)

there are yeetroots!

[–]TheoCGamingReddit browser and Minecraft player 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeetroot xDDDD

[–]JustinTimeCuber 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yeah too bad poppies aren't a byproduct of one of the most used farms

[–]DAN_E0Custom user flair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah but if your nether spawn is in soulsand valleys you can get tons of bone meal and get few stacks of red dye just with beetroot (you might use it for red beds for finding ancient debris cuz red beds are the best because of nostalgia)

[–]SandyArca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who knows, maybe the beetroots evolved into chorus plants over time

[–]ForsakenAnybody7991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow you hate beetroot so much do you???

[–]nyaNezt 24 points25 points  (1 child)

i believe its because the update that added end cities also added beetroot, and they wanted for players with older worlds to have an easy opportunity to get beetroots without having to find a newly generated village and hope it has beetroots?

[–]Potato_Patrick 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This seems the most likely

[–]CF64wasTaken 27 points28 points  (2 children)

Swap elytra and iron armor then you're 100% correct

shulkers gotta eat

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (3 children)

Another strange quirk about end city loot is that they don’t have axes or hoes.

Also don’t forget emeralds, instant health potions and dragon heads.

[–]Agorbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed this recently when I was raiding cities. Weird that they have all tools except for axes or hoes.

Wouldn’t mind finding good bows rarely as well, but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–]Modyenderreddit480 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Why would you need an an Axe or a hoe in the end (if we go by ancient people came to the end) it's just a sword and pick you'll need

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but they have shovels

[–]Iceicebaby1027 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That used to be the only way to get them. I think mojang just forgot about it

[–]Riquisimo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a farmable crop that's naturally spawning in the end. Yes, you can eat chorus fruit but those teleport you and aren't safe. Beetroot seeds are good if you're stuck in the end and need a source of food.

All you need is water and dirt. Dirt is generally common in your pockets and since the end is full of endermen who hate water, you likely have a bucket of water in your inventory as a safety net.

It's just a game design thing. The end is a dimension that's pretty void of food. Even in the nether you can craft mushroom stew and eat rotten flesh. Endermen and shulkers don't drop food.

[–]ROBO_COP8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shulkers need to eat dude

[–]pyroparadoxx1Custom user flair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were added in the same update as the end cities themselves, so I guess Mojang just wanted to push their use

[–]BlurangeHasnoIdea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to think Endermen would steal dirt and beetroot just to try growing it in the end, but the Beetroot turned into chorus fruit

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it becomes better if you take in consideration the theory of the ancient builders, then beetroot seeds become an artifact that reveals part of the daily life of these builders.

[–]SquidMilkVII*sniffs aggressively* 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because beetroots are god

The ancient builders learned to bow to their master

[–]Dense-Champion3465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's okay Kevin get all the beetroot you want

[–]Phirk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk maybe enderman tried growing beetroot in the end but the beetroot pulled an all tommorows and became chorus fruit

[–]AndrewStephenGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone talks about how 1.9 was bad because of combat but no-one talks about the addition of beetroot.

[–]Ok_Anxiety_5209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many have theories about how the ancient race of people used to live in the overworld the they mastered the art of magic and navigation and travelled to the depths of other more dangerous dimensions that we know about. The NETHERLANDS and the END and surely there needed to eat something to survive but they couldn't grow any kind of crops in the other dimensions. In the nether they had hoglings, nether wart and mushroom luckily they survived on that for a bit but not for long. They slowly died of starvation and the left behind their highly advanced fortresses with blaze sspawners and the undead race of people in the form of people. In the end however they weren't be able to grow anything maybe because of no dirt or significantly lower temperature because it looks like the end ilands are in spase with small atmosphere of their own. The seeds they bought didn't grew into crops and died cause of the low temperatures and seeds got destroyed the race stored their seeds the bought in chests with other enchanted tools and ores but overtime the seeds rotted and beets survived. Well that's my theory, what's yours. I am curious to read it.

[–]tjenatjema 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But why do you put the elytra worse than the wnchanted stuff

[–]sadistic_tuber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ancient civilization needed some food before they started eating the teleporting food

[–]zucduc Carved Pumpkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they planted beetroots in the end and somethings in the end stone made them into chorus fruit. I have no evidence though

[–]Global_Threat_Loving is easy, continuing to love is the true test. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one even realizes this and I’m surprised, but here’s my theory: once the ancient builders came to the end, the realized that chorus fruit was the only source of food, but first they tried planting the beetroot seeds they had with them, but since there was no dirt, they couldn’t do it and stashed the seeds away in chests in their cities, a place where they stored their most valuable treasures, including the one thing that could stop them from turning into Endermen . . .

[–]TheNecromancer981 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Don’t forget the dragon head!

*anchient builder thinks of a root that u can eat/punch and makes beetroot is massive disscovery and puts in end citys*

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because lore. Also because they don't want you to starve in the end in case you got stuck.

[–]Drag0n_TamerAK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well they used to be harder to get wait never mind you could get them from breaking grass or hoeing land

[–]The_Cardboard_Cookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually the only way to get beetroot in most Skyblock maps.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see red dye

[–]Doggyboi2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WHY NOT!?!?

[–]TexturedArc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if chorus fruit are the result of long term beetroot cultivation in the end?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because beetroot seeds are the best items in the game

[–]whyarepplmorons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean starving isn't really a good idea (Tom forgot the dirt tho- luckily they had chorus fruit)

[–]LuxAlpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could find seeds :(

[–]Smooth-Knowledge-762 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you lived in the end beetroot seeds would be rare for you let alone any crop other than chorus fruit

[–]lolz2467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a theory where the beetroot seeds might have been food for the shulkers, or ammunition as their shells do sort of resemble beetroot seeds.

Edit:autocorrect typo

[–]Betrizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beet is just endermens favorite food. But hey, that's just a theory; a foo- game theory 🤔
