Minecraft Versions as Christian Denominations - This Make Sense?
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 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

That doesn't even make sense. If anything, Bedrock would be protestant. Completely heretical LGBT progressive protestant.

I don't think it's possible to communicate how meaningless your spam is to everyone but you.
You are a single point of static on a TV tuned to nothing.

Java was the original. Bedrock is the shitty spinoff. Do kids today not know this?

Wrong. Let's fix this:
Java Edition โ Catholicism
Key Themes: Authority, Tradition, Development
The Catholic church of Minecraft.
Java carries an unbroken lineage back to the first versions, yet it is not frozen in time.
Through official updates (like the Magisterium), doctrine continues to unfold: caves deepen, oceans expand, mobs multiply.
Players recognize the authority of the core devs, even when updates spark debate.
It is Catholicism in code: ancient, authoritative, but still alive and adapting.

Legacy Console Edition โ Eastern Orthodoxy
Key Themes: Tradition, Autocephaly, Preservation
Legacy Console was the Orthodox communion: Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo โ each autocephalous but sharing the same liturgy.
Updates once flowed from their patriarch (4J Studios), but development stopped.
What remains is a timeless rite: tutorials, UIs, and mechanics preserved like ancient chant.
Orthodoxy resists change; Legacy Console endures by being unchanging.

Bedrock Edition โ Protestantism
Key Themes: Reformation, Accessibility, Multiplicity
The Reformation of Minecraft.
Where Java and Legacy Console look to tradition, Bedrock throws the doors open to everyone.
It runs on every device, in every language โ no central authority, just accessibility.
Crossplay, Realms, and the Marketplace are its evangelical revivals: populist, modern, and easy to enter.
Bedrock thrives not by continuity, but by proliferation.
