Java Edition โ Protestantism
Key Themes: Decentralization, Personal Interpretation, Reformation, Fragmentation
Java Edition is the original revelation โ 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 โ 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 โ 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 โ and with that, a thousand servers and doctrinal interpretations. Some call it chaos. Others, reformation.

Legacy Console Edition โ 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 โ each one operating semi-independently but sharing a liturgical structure (i.e., interface, update cycles, and game mechanics). Like Orthodoxy, they:
Emphasized ritual consistency โ everything from crafting interfaces to tutorial worlds followed strict templates.
Received occasional updates from 4J Studios (their โPatriarchateโ), but the timeline was often irregular and eventually ceased altogether โ much like some Orthodox churchesโ 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 โ only to preserve.

Bedrock Edition โ 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 โ Mojang/Microsoft (aka, the โVatican of Codeโ). All platforms โ mobile, PC, console โ 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 โ the small, minimalistic Pocket Edition.
Over time, it became the foundation of Bedrock theology โ 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

There shouldn't be denominations. A man should be directly connected with God. All buildings, books, robed people, etc. are all idols. Turn to God, and not to worldly things.

Are you an evangelical, or? Because all non-denominationalism does is create infinite denominations

You posted all this garbage again and still kept JAVA as protestantism when it came before Bedrock and Legacy.
Open up your smartphone, remove the battery, and take a good bite on it with all your might.

Vintage Story is Islam.
Sunni is the game as it currently is and Shia will be its adventure mode.
