Cubeaism – A Minecraft Religion
While day dreaming at work I created a fictional “religion” for the minecraft world. Play testing turned out to be fun in terms of role-play so I thought I would share. The religion of minecraft – Cubeaism – has three gods each representing different aspects of the world.
Terrae, is the female god of nature and is represented via trees, grass, mushrooms, lakes and rain. Also her eye is the sun, and it is said the day is actually her keeping an “eye” on the world. While she does, her creations prosper and grow.
Roki, is the male god of the deep and is represented via stone, minerals, lava and bedrock. His eye is the moon, and the night is the time he watches the world. While he does, it is a sign to take shelter or mine in the depths of the world.
Net, is the younger sibling of the two and is represented by mobs both evil and good. As he matured he created the various mobs of the world. But having created the evil mobs, Terrae and Roki banished him to the Nether as punishment.
The three working together created the minecraft world. Read the full creation story here:
In the time before there were 3 siblings; Roki, Terrae, and Net. They were bored with all that they had in their own dimension so pooling together their powers they decided to create a world to entertain them. Roki acted first, cutting off his finger and using it to build the bedrock core of the world. Then cutting off the rest of his arm he layered the world in smoothstone. Gathering his remaining energy, he struck the world as hard as he could with his right arm. The force of the blow created massive amounts of pressure causing diamonds, gold, iron and coal to form at different layers of the world. The resulting earthquakes created great chasms and cave openings leading deep into the earth.
Terrae, looking upon Roki's work said "It's a good start, buts it’s hard and cold. This world needs beauty and softness as well." And with that she reached down and picked up chunks of smoothstone and ate them. Chewing and melding them with her delicate tongue she turned the stone to dirt and spat it back up covering the world. Then she ran her hand over it and layered the dirt with grass short and tall. With great care she pushed 4 of her fingers into the earth. Removing each of them one by one; from the holes the first oak, birch, pine and spruce trees were born. She then cut her arm, and bled out onto the world creating the oceans.
Net, the youngest of the three was impressed with what the other siblings had done. But he had not yet fully realised his powers and became sad. He shed a tear and it fell onto the world the brothers had created, from the tear a tiny retarded chicken was born. Net was overwhelmed with joy at his creation, even though it had zero survival instincts and would aimlessly wander off cliffs as often as anything else, he still loved it. Over the years as Net further realised his power he created pigs, sheeps, cows, wolves and squids. The other brothers were proud of him and having watched him developing decided to teach him how to focus his power. With this, Net was able to create the first human.
The humans of the world prospered, and adored their creators. Terrae and Roki took shifts to watch the world, Terrae's eye was bright like fire and caused all her creations to prosper as she watched them. Roki's eye was white and cold, signalling the time for the humans to rest. Many ages past as the world prospered, Roki and Terrae were finally content and continued to watch over it. Net however, became bored and restless again. Using his power he created the first slime for his amusement. While mostly harmless, the slime had the power to hurt the other beings of the world. When Roki and Terrae looked upon it they were upset, and banished it to only live in the very depths of the world, away from the humans.
This infuriated Net and he demanded the brothers allow his creation room on the surface. The two refused, and having seen the brothers make sacrifices to enhance their powers he did the same. He cut off his ear, and used it to create the first zombie. Terrae and Roki were unable to banish this creature and it quickly began to decimate the humans that the pair loved so much. Seeing the progress of this monster made him want to create more, he pulled a bone from his arm to create skeletons and a 8 of his toes to create the spiders. Terrae, seeing Net's growing insanity cut out an eye and used it to curse his monsters with fire whenever she looked upon them. Roki and Terrae then turned to Net furious with him and pooled their powers together to banish him to a world of suffering and pain; The Nether. In his last defiant act before his banishment, Net tore his heart out and created the mighty creeper. This creature will stalk the land, immune to the powers of Terrae's eye, and would be a great calamity on the world
The humans of the world wiped out, their structures now overrun with creatures and slowly growing moss. Terrea and Roki turned to one another, and using all the energy they had left, they summoned one final human. Spent, the 2 gods are now only able to take turns passing there eye across the world, keeping close watch on their last creation. Steve

Simply pick your favorite god from one of the three posts below. Follow the guide to work your priest through the various levels of that path. I found it fun to make separate worlds and have that world devoted to a particular god. I would be in essence a priest of that god and follow the rules and rites of passage that apply to that faith. At differing levels of each path there are different challenges and build requirements.
When you have finished a path in full come here and post pictures! I would love to see them
There is another "game" based on restrictions to enhance game-play created by Iamchris27 that centre's itself around building a city through a number of stages. Worth checking out. Link here.
Other Gods / Figures / Lesser Gods
Penna: A peaceful path concerned with building in the sky. Fairly easy and is a different approach to most traditional building methods.
Glueco: Glueco loves cake. Build cakes for him. Cakes as far as the eye can see. A light hearted and more humorous take on the Paths. Very easy (except for level 4 haha)!.
Poise: A Cthulu inspired lesser god. Extremely difficult path. Still a WIP. Horror inspired ocean building path. If you can't handle it stick with Glueco...
Notch: A mysterious figure little is known about. He is rumoured to be the creator of the 3 known gods and to have a beard that is the very definition of manhood. It is said appropriate prayers to Notch will allow the player to remove all evil from the world via quoted: “peaceful mode”. Any ancient texts found in relation to this omniscient and omnipotent figure should be submitted to me immediately.
ArchebuS: A devout priest of Roki who went beyond his duties as one of the faithful. This figure was chosen by the 3 gods to act as the metatron or “voice”. The gods imparted their knowledge’s and wisdom onto him and he spreads the word to new potential priests. He is said to appear as a humanoid/crow creature in a black suit.
HerobrinE: Appears in almost human form but with hollow empty eyes. Even followers of Roki are afraid of this being. Nothing is known of his habits, goals or his purpose. It is unknown whether he is the creation of one of the three gods... or a product of something even more sinister.

I've recently purchased a 2TB external hard drive, and I've been putting in some files, but when I tried to place a rather large folder (33.08GB) into the hard drive, it says I cannot copy the folder, because it is too large for "this format". I've tried looking up ways to just move the folder, not copy it, but I couldn't find anything useful. Any help would be appreciated.

They are well known for their overall creepiness and the ability to sneak up on you. However, they hiss for about a second before exploding, which might give you time to attack.
They are the game's unofficial mascot. If a skeleton's arrow kills a creeper, they can drop a music disc.
To kill the creeper, I suggest sprinting up and hitting it, then retreating. This takes practice, however.
Hope I helped! (and gave you useless information)

I mean, it is the longest thing you would ever experience.

Agreed. He should.
