Blocks, Items and Crafting Recipes
Bird Meat
Bird Meat is dropped by all of the birds. Just place the raw meat in a furnace to cook yourself some tasty grub!
Book of Birds
This book tells you about all of the birds in game. It includes their picture, the scientific name and a little caption about them. It can be crafted using a normal book and a peacock feather, like so:
Eggs
Eggs can be found in two ways: collected from nests, or laid by birds. All eggs have a 10% chance of spawning a chick when thrown. This can be increased up to 50% by crafting the eggs with blaze powder, adding 20% each time. Any attempt to increase after 50% will consume the powder, but not increase the chance.
There are also unidentifed eggs. These are black with a question mark on them. To indentify these, you must use the egg sorter. See below.
Eggshell
This item will occasionally drop from nests, and also when you throw any of the bird eggs. It can be used like bonemeal to speed up the growth of plants and to grow flowers.
Egg Identifier:
It can be crafted using the following recipe:
Placing unidentified eggs in the top slot and redstone dust in the bottom will result in the eggs being identified. This is not always successful and may produce eggshells.
Incubator:
The incubator can be crafted using the following recipe:
Placing eggs in the top slots and blaze powder in the bottom will level up the eggs. This machine allows the spawn rate to go all the way to 100%! It works on multiple eggs too!
Nests:
Probably the most important part of the mod. You will find these nests sitting atop leaves in your world. Breaking them will drop 0-3 different bird eggs and some sticks. Empty nests can be crafted using the following recipe.
You may right click on the nests to open the GUI.
Peacock Feather:
Dropped by peacocks, these feathers can be used to craft the Book of Birds.
Phoenix Dust:
This dust is used to create a phoenix egg. It can be found as a rare item in abandoned mineshaft chests. One is dropped by a phoenix upon death.
Phoenix Egg:
Phoenix eggs are used to hatch the mythical phoenix. They require a light level of 9 or above to hatch (a flame particle effect will appear when the light level is suitable). These can be found as a rare item in a monster dungeon, extremely rarely found in nests, or crafted by surrounding a chicken egg in phoenix dust.
Phoenix Feather:
Dropped by a phoenix upon death. This feather does not yet do anything.
This mod requires the latest version of Minecraft Forge which can be found here: Forge Download. You then drag the .jar file into your mods folder, just like you would with any other mod.

On the other hand, I like the idea of The Rake. It has a small chance of spawning while you sleep, and sits at the foot of your bed... Would it just stare then run when you woke up?

But seriously... tough question. Hopefully someone smart and humorous.

Ch. 1- Minecraftia
1. First, Notch created the Sky, and the Earth. The Earth was flat, and went on nearly endless in every direction.
2. He created caves, to break up the land, and hills, to make it more dynamic.
3. Notch created water, which covered everything but the hills. He put them together to form islands. He called the land "Minecraftia".
4. Grass was put on the topmost layer of the land. Then, Notch made trees growing out of it for shelter.
5. Finally, Notch had finished, and made man. He ate plants and drank lakewater.
6. Man looked lonely, so Notch created more animals, which man named pigs, cows and sheep.
7. Still, none of these seemed good enough, so Notch created more men, and they thrived.
8. Herobrine, Notch's brother, saw these creatures, and was not happy.
9. Seeing an opportunity, Herobrine cursed the pigs into evil beasts, which men called creepers.
10. Creepers wiped out half of the population, exploding and burning away the flesh of men.
11. These remaining skeletons were then cursed, becoming intelligent enough to make weapons, with which they killed the rest of the men.
12. Some corpses were then turned into zombies, and others fed spiders until they were giant.
13. Notch found out about the fate of man, and said to the skeletons and zombies "You will thrive at night, and never again see the light of day".
14. To replace the men, Notch created more advanced men, which he called "humans". They built houses for shelter and protection.
15. The creepers, zombies and skeletons still lived at night, and threatened humans out after dark, so Notch made torches for light.
16. He told them that each of the 4 deadly beasts was different.
17. Skeletons were smart, zombies were strong, spiders survived the daylight, and creepers were very powerful.
Ch. 2- The Nether
1. Herobrine created his own realm, which he called the Nether.
2. He took the souls of the original men, and kept them there, calling them ghasts.
3. He created another mutated pig, which he called the zombie pigman.
4. Notch found out about the Nether, and felt threatened.
5. Herobrine had created lava in the Nether, and eventually in Minecraftia.
6. Notch taught the people how to make obsidian out of it, by cooling it, and how to build a portal to the Nether.
7. He warned them of its danger, but told them that they could help him destroy it.
8. Eventually, Notch realised that too many people were dying in an attempt to save him.
9. However, the evil power of the Nether had weakened him, and Herobrine was getting stronger.
10. Herobrine killed off some of the humans, and used their souls to help enhance the Nether.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Minecraft- Life of Jeb
Ch. 1- Jeb
1. Notch summoned Jeb, to help him communicate with the humans. He gave Jeb lots of power.
2. Jeb went to the village of humans, and told them to shut down their portal.
3. The people denied, saying "Notch taught us to build these, and wanted us to destroy the Nether."
4. Jeb replied, "I was sent here by Notch, with some of his powers. He wants this portal gone, as it allowes Herobrine a way into this world."
5. The people did not believe him, and banished him.
6. With no other option, Jeb stared into the portal, and it closed.
7. Shocked, the people started to believe what he said. They provided him food, drink, and shelter.
8. During his stay, Jeb taught them some of the secrets of the world. He showed them how to build better, how to construct more complex tools, and how to refine ores.
9. After a week, the village's faith was dropping again. They told Jeb that if he was staying any longer, he would have to build his own house.
10. He left the village that day, and returned the next.
11. He brought with him lots of wood, stone, iron and gold.
12. By the end of the day, he had build the biggest building in the city, and called it the Church.
13. The people asked if he was staying in it. He simply said no.
14. He told them what it was for. Every time they did something good, they would recieve a small amount of magic.
15. They could use the altar to put the magic into something valuable, and sacrifice it by putting it into a donation box.
16. The magic would be sent back to Notch, and he could use it to make their life better.
17. He told them that if they did this every day for a month, they would recieve more than double their sacrifices' worth.
Ch. 2- The Endermen
1. Jeb left the village that day, never to be seen by them again.
2. He brought with them the day's sacrifices, and handed them to Notch.
3. With that power, Notch created Enderman- tall humanoid figures, pitch black with purple eyes.
4. They were created with the objective of entering and destroying the Nether.
5. Because of this, they were made to withstand heat, and hated water.
6. They entered the village, demanding to be sent there. The people feared them, and attacked.
7. Notch heard about this, and called them back. He told them to avoid humans, and gave them teleportation.
8. He said that if a human saw them, they should kill the human before it tells anyone.
9. It was around this time that the 4 deadly beasts had killed off too many humans. There were few humans left.
10. Notch, with the help of the sacrifices, created even smarter beings, which he called Testificates. They lived in groups and built villages, and traded with humans.
Ch. 3- The Stronghold
1. The enderman were still too weak to destroy the Nether, especially after all Herobrine had done.
2. It was said that there was a shrine in there which weakened Notch, and they couldn't locate it.
3. Notch, even with the magic the people were giving him, was too weak; he gave the last of his power to Jeb.
4. Jeb created a realm for the Enderman, named simply the End.
5. It contained a new beast; the Enderdragon, which got its power from magical devices within the End. It was to be sent to the Nether to destroy it.
6. The entrance was buried deep underground in a reinforced labyrinth, protected by Silverfish, which were large burrowing insects.
7. Eventually, rumors spread about this Stronghold, as it was known, and people began searching.
8. Jeb feared what would happen if the people actually managed to slay the dragon. He put a curse on it.
9. If anyone slays the dragon, they will be burdened with it's egg, which will have to be placed on the Nether Shrine, to release it's energy.
10. Jeb then began creating new things to distract the people from the Stronghold. "These things," he tells the people, "can be used at the altar as a sacrifice, for great rewards."
11. All throughout Minecraftia, such sacrificial churches are still being built, and more and more people are forgetting about the Stronghold.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
That's basically it, I wrote this once 'cause I was bored and thought Minecraft needed a more clearly defined religion. I may one day add a list of religions (if I can think of more than 3 or 4). There is actually a meaning behind this: If you follow this Minecraftian Religion, you are to build a church, and an anvil; every day, put some of your experience into an expensive item, and drop it into a deep pit, as a sacrifice.

YOU, GOOD SIR, NEED TO STOP PLAYING SILLY GAMES AS A SERIOUS PERSON. GET A SENSE OF HUMOR, AND STOP TROLLING THE FORUMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Would the head of the gorgon freeze other mobs?
2. What would the Labyrinth be made of? (leaves, sandstone, new block?) And could minotaurs break blocks they hit?
3. WHY HASN'T ANYONE MADE THIS YET?!?!? It sounds to good to possible, but it IS possible!
