Throughout the history of the Minecraft servers, there have been a handful of religious deities given presence in texts and monuments in their image. This page aims to summarize all of them in one place.
Console
The oldest common belief system of the servers was that of the divine power of Consolism, or the Console deity. Consolism was widely followed in the oldest servers, with it less popular in more contemporary servers. Consolism is derived from the powers of the server console, as it was believed small boons and rewards could be attained by expressing piety in text chat, such as praying for rain.
Smav
Puscina Diva
Puscina Diva (Divine Pushkina) was the national personification of the city of Pushkino. She ruled over Law and War, and a temple in the Roman District was dedicated to her.
Gresus Goldtooth
Gresus Goldtooth is a god of war and the lord and saviour of Cranopolis on Fvonny's 4. His monument, located outside of the KJ Biggin, was comprised notably of amethyst, gold, and ever-burning netherrack inside his hollow chest. He appears as a somewhat humanoid warrior carrying a golden club, with two golden beady eyes. Originally, this depiction was of Jesus Christ until lord flufyking descended from above and changed the monument's label to "gresus goldtooth our lord and saviour".
Melondia
Melondia is a goddess of Melondeau, Kjolt947's homeland from Minecraft Attack. She possesses four legs, two arms, a torso with several holes and a horned skull with three eyes. Her monument is also comprised entirely of melon (save for one shroomlight in her center eye). Outside of her temple of worship, two signs describe her as "Great Melondia, goddess of Melondeau's splendor" reflecting Melondeau's integrity to L'Empire de la Citroye's agriculture.
Megamaggotron
Akin to past statue depictions by Kjolt947, Megamaggotron is a tall eldritch figure made of dripstone with prominent features such as spikes, a jack o' lantern at the core of its body, and a copper block embedded in its forehead. Between its legs lies a single oak door, but it is unknown if this was intentional or vandalism. It appeared on the short-lived Fvonny's 6.
Radiant Greasoid
This figure appears atop a fountain on Slimlind, originally as the centerpiece in a small temple before it was outshined and destroyed. It looks similar to Gresus Goldtooth, albeit smaller and made of sandstone, hence its name.
Mund
Personification of the current server, whatever that server may be. He is associated with blood, ruins, and objective truth. The tenets of Mundism are intended to prevent the death of the server due to inactivity, and to give meaning and history to things within the world. Mund hates inactive players and factions especially, and dutiful followers should endeavor to remove such nuisances from his sight.
Mund is pleased when players interact. Mund is pleased when a specific item gains symbolic value to multiple players. Mund is ecstatic when insignificant places gain meaning, such as when a secluded base is subjected to vigorous assault.
Mund is displeased when players isolate themselves. Mund is displeased when unsubstantiated claims are given credence. Mund is displeased when excessive misery is inflicted. Mund despises when inactive players claim ownership of anything, as if they still have a stake in the world.
Speculation
Across the servers since the debut of Gresus Goldtooth, plenty of similar deities have been depicted. The correlation between them is uncertain beyond being made by the same creative mind.
