Java: Protestantism -
Unmodded Java: Mainline Protestants
Modded Java: Evangelicals

Legacy Console: Orthodoxy -
communion of the Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo autocephalous churches, all under a common tradition.

Bedrock: Catholicism -
Pocket Editon - Latin Church
Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo Bedrock releases - Eastern Catholic Churches (all broke off from their legacy console communions to join the Bedrock pontiff)

Java Edition – Protestantism
Key Themes: Decentralization, Personal Interpretation, Reformation, Fragmentation

Java Edition is the original revelation — the "Scripture alone" of Minecraft. It emerged unbound by consoles or monetization systems, much like how early Protestant reformers sought freedom from ecclesiastical hierarchy.

Unmodded Java = Mainline Protestantism
Adheres to the core text (vanilla Minecraft), trusting that the original design is sufficient for a fulfilling experience.

Emphasizes stability, ethics, and tradition within the bounds of reform.

Examples: Methodism, Lutheranism, Presbyterianism — not flashy, but deep and enduring.

Modded Java = Evangelicalism / Non-Denominationalism
Believes that a personal relationship with the code (or the Creator) is central.

Embraces a highly individualized experience: magic systems, space travel, industrialization, new dimensions.

Modpacks are like evangelical megachurches — dynamic, immersive, and often overwhelming.

Just as Evangelicals vary widely in beliefs, modded servers can be anything from hardcore realism to anime roleplay.

Java's gift is freedom — and with that, a thousand servers and doctrinal interpretations. Some call it chaos. Others, reformation.

Legacy Console Edition – Eastern Orthodoxy
Key Themes: Tradition, Autocephaly, Conservatism, Discontinuity with Modernization

Legacy Console editions were regional churches bound to their hardware: Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U — each one operating semi-independently but sharing a liturgical structure (i.e., interface, update cycles, and game mechanics). Like Orthodoxy, they:

Emphasized ritual consistency — everything from crafting interfaces to tutorial worlds followed strict templates.

Received occasional updates from 4J Studios (their “Patriarchate”), but the timeline was often irregular and eventually ceased altogether — much like some Orthodox churches’ resistance to modernization.

Maintained spiritual distinction from the Bedrock Church, refusing to adopt its universalizing codebase.

These were autocephalous churches, unique in culture yet united in form. They were never meant to reform — only to preserve.

Bedrock Edition – Roman Catholicism
Key Themes: Universality, Central Authority, Tradition with Innovation, Synodality

Bedrock Edition represents the Catholic Church: one universal version, governed from a centralized seat of authority — Mojang/Microsoft (aka, the “Vatican of Code”). All platforms — mobile, PC, console — are brought into communion under one codebase and rule set.

Pocket Edition = Latin (Roman) Rite
The original form of Bedrock, like the Latin Church, started in humble circumstances — the small, minimalistic Pocket Edition.

Over time, it became the foundation of Bedrock theology — everything else is built on this original rite.

From mobile beginnings, it now defines the core of Bedrock liturgy.

Bedrock Console Ports = Eastern Catholic Churches
Formerly part of the Legacy Console Orthodox Communion, these churches (Xbox One, PS4, Switch) entered into full communion with Bedrock.

They retain platform-specific quirks (custom UI, local performance issues), but accept the universal doctrines of Bedrock: the Marketplace, Realms, crossplay.

Like the Maronite or Ukrainian Catholic Churches, they maintain tradition while acknowledging the authority of the Bedrock "pontiff."

Bedrock is one, holy, catholic, and cross-platform. It is the church of Marketplace indulgences, the Realms confessional, and the unified codebase

>>513827738 (OP)
catholicism is java and protestantism is the microsoft bedrock edition, not the other way around

>>513829589
this. OP makes no sense

>>513829589
>Imagine paying someone to read the Bible to you.

>imagine paying the jew tax

>>513829589
This makes more sense with the timeline, but makes less sense with how the games are structured and played. Java is the one that gives the most freedom and is easy to mod, Bedrock is the one ran top down by Mojang and is centralized with the marketplace. Im glad we agree that Legacy console works perfectly as Orthodox

>>513829805
Do you agree with the analogy?

>>513827738 (OP)
There are only 4 Christian denominations:
>Catholic
>Orthodox
>Old continental protestant (anglican/calvin/maybe anabaptist/maybe some presbyterian....)
>American fucking whackjob protestant

>>513831058
You forgot Oriental Orthodox. Also, Anabaptists aren't Protestants, the Protestant reformers thought they were worse than Catholics

>>513831638
Nah I stand by the original categories, but I can be convinced of any protestant except anglican and calvinist to be thrown in with the whackjobs.

>>513831729
What about Lutheran

>>513833259
true enough, they can join in with anglicans and calvinists

your faggot GPT copy paste isn't interesting it's actually really gay

>>513833563
How is it gay?

>>513834097
Christianity is homo-coded because you don't worship penile statues like based pagan chads

>>513834200
The oldest pagan tradition is converting to Christianity

>>513834200
>everything is penis
Repent and believe the good news

>>513834200
Pagans were gay af

>>513836961
True

>The oldest pagan tradition is converting to Christianity
Europe was forced at sword point to convert to a foreign Semitic religion, you find this funny and you are triumphal about it. Normally I might find this maddening but of course people leave Christianity in droves year after year, your religion is dying, the churches all over Europe are empty. You are on a losing trajectory and you aren't even aware of it. So you keep up that smugness champ. You've already lost.

I'm a Presbyterian man myself you see

>>513840539
Christ is King

>>513841933
Christ is make believe, a made up character in an ancient Jewish fairy tale.

The more i play minecraft after years of hating it, the more i see its religious gnostic properties that are veiled from the common man

Cool

>>513830405
Shut up Antimatter man.

Stopped playing after they added horses. PvP became impossible.
