makes sense
what about the alpha? would that be like some kinda pre-written ancient archaic belief system? like humans just beginning to form the notion of a religion

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

Hell yeah. My daily dose of /v/ autism is here.

what is the equivalent of Jesus in this analogy?

>>718960162
1.0 (which added The End)

>>718960162
maybe the beta 1.8 changes
just push the amish into the 1.7 version

>>718958398 (OP)
you made this thread yesterday shut up no one cares

>>718960453
do you disagree with the analogy?

>>718958398 (OP)
Here, you seem desperate for it

>>718962903
Thanks Rosalina

modded java is pagan

I will give one pity bump. OP might be cooking here.

What year did 4chan get this unusually large wave of e-Christians?

>>718958786
Yeah, the Alpha would be based on proto-Indo-European religious beliefs which we don't have written records of since that's in a prehistoric (in other words, pre-writing) period. We do have various items and artworks that depict similar things to later religious mythologies, though.

>>718965272
I dont know, ive been on 4chan since 2008 so annecdotally I can say that I know Christian literature was always big on /lit/, at least for as long as I've been browsing, and that eventually led to my conversion. I remember having debates with Christians as an atheist back in 2011-2012, and I think that was the point when it had just started catching steam along side all the "woke" stuff, then of course by 2015 it was pretry cemented

>>718958625
No, this is a common misconception. Rabbinic Judaism developed in 200 AD, using traditions some from Hebrew traditions (distinct from the genetically Canaanite Jewish traditions of today) which were called a separatist movement due to the influence of Persian polytheistic cults. Judaism rose as a result of and response to Christianity, which itself is a development of Hebraic tradition.

>>718965909
This is dumb. You can see Rabbinic Judaism in the Bible. Jesus and the disciples were practicing Jews, much like every other person.

It is the modern idea of Christianity that developed several centuries after Jesus's death.

I am a Jew, and I still laugh when I remember that Christians go to church at Sundays instead of Saturdays even though not ONE SINGLE PERSON in the Bible did this, >NOT ONE SINGLE ONE<, and one of the 10 commandments is literally to save Saturday for the Lord, not Sunday.

I know you have a convincing cope that "the actual day does not matter" but how come not one single person wants to follow the scripture to a literal T? Do you guys just not care? "Ehh God said Sunday but whatever I'll retcon it" why does EVERYONE think like this?

this thread got retarded before it was even posted

I want to believe OP (rightfully) gave up on getting discussion for this going long ago and all the threads since are just copycats fighting for (You)s like scraps
I really want to believe no one would be autistic enough to make this thread fifty times over hoping "this'll be the thread, I'll actually get someone to discuss minecraft and religion with this time around"

I like that church design OP im going to steal it
