Medieval Religions
by synexy_
Players who want faith to shape a long survival world can pick a religion here, and the mod builds the rest of its progression around that choice.
What it does
Players choose one faith from a menu that groups Orthodoxy and Catholicism under Christianity, alongside Paganism, Atheism and the Wild Hunt. A religion brings its own ladder of five ranks, each with a title of its own, so a Pagan climbs from Seeker upward while a Catholic rises from Neophyte toward Saint. Picking a path is a single choice, and a player can later convert to another religion.
Religious life is tracked through quests, amulets and relics. Each religion has 12 quests of its own, and finishing them, reaching higher ranks, building a church or sacred grove and becoming a leader all feed into a full deeds achievement line. Higher rank gives access to stronger amulets and to the faith's relic, whose power can be used during play.
On a server, the system carries real religious politics between players. Leaders are elected by the flock, and a leader can declare a holy war, excommunicate a heretic, call for a schism, or release a relic's power. Shrines, confessing, making offerings and praying on a Holy Day are part of the same loop. The mod runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1, requires Forge 47.3.0 or newer, and is published under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
