Altars
Building an altar is simple:
Place a normal or redstone torch on a smooth brick block
Place a sign on the side of the block with ONLY the name of your God written on any line
Players can now pray to this God by right-clicking on the altar sign
If you place a normal torch, you specify a male God.
If you place a redstone torch, you specify a female God (Goddess).
Rules
Gods exist as long as players believe in them
Gods comes into existence by players building altars to them
Gods grow stronger from the number of believers they have
Gods grow stronger from the number of prayers at their alters
Gods appoints a single believer to be his priest
Gods will bless their believers with items they need
Priest can pray for Blessing and Cursing specific players
Gods send their believers on quests
Gods protect their lands around their altars.
Item Blessings
Periodically, the God will check for his believers needs:
When a believer has no pickaxe, the God will bless his believer with a pickaxe
When a believer has no sword, the God will bless his believer with a sword
When a believer has no food, the God will bless his believer with food
The more powerful the God is, the more frequent the God will attend to his believers. The exact quality of the item (wood, stone, diamond) also depends on the power of the God.
Blessing Altars
A Priest can ask his God to specifically bless any player by using an altar:
Build an altar as described above
On the sign, write "Blessings" on line 1
On the sign, write "on" (or anything) on line 2
On the sign, write the name of the player on line 3
Now the priest can right-click the sign, praying to his God to bless that player!
Cursing Altars
A Priest can ask his God to specifically curse any player by using an altar:
Build an altar as described above
On the sign, write "Curses" on line 1
On the sign, write "on" (or anything) on line 2
On the sign, write the name of the player on line 3
Now the priest can right-click the sign, praying to his God to curse that player!
Commandments
Any God with respect for himself have strong opinions about what is right and wrong.
A God will periodically tell his priest about what food and creature types are considered holy and unholy.
Because the God will react swiftly with blessings and curses on his believers accordingly to these commandments, it is the priests responsibility to communicate (preach) this information to the believers in general.
Quests
Gods will periodically issue quests for their believers, for them to show their faith in him.
This may include quest for slaying mobs, sacrificing certain items etc.
If completed, all the believers will be rewarded by the God and the quest completion will act as a mass-prayer, effectivly adding significantly more belief to the God.
Holy Lands
The land around an altar is holy to that particular God.
The radius of the Holy Land grows and fades with the power of the God and only believers may build within the Holy Land of the God.
This acts as a simple anti grief control purely based on the altars and Godpower.
Of course should a player be able to destroy the altar of the God, the Holy Land protection will immediately disappear.
When using Holy Lands, the death of a believer will reduce the power of their God
Sacrifices
Believers can sacrifice item to their God by burning any item of their choice. The God will have a certain need for certain item types and it is up to the believer to find out the needs of their God at any given time.
Sacrificing items that the God needs will result in a blessing and added belief in the God, which in turn adds more power to the God.
Be warned that sacrificing items to a God which has no interest in the item or "spam-sacrificing" a God can have deadly consequences...
Gods will also issue sacrifice quests from time to time.
The Holy Book
All Gods have their "Bible" or "Holy Book", which is maintained by the priest. At any time, the priest can produce a copy of the current edition of the Holy Book with /gods bible.
The priest can edit a copy of the current edition of the Holy Book with /gods editbible.
He can also choose to set the currently held book to be the official Holy Book for his religion with /gods setbible.
Holy Artifacts
Gods are known to carelessly leave certain artifacts behind after visiting the minecraft world. Whenever another God finds out about these artifact's location in the world, he will immediately send his followers on a quest to retrieve it to prevent it from "falling into the wrong hands". These "Holy Artifacts" are unique items with strange powers and properties beyond any items normally found in the minecraft game.
From a God's view, these are mostly trivial items (They would never leave their flaming swords lying around...).
Although these items are everyday items of a God, they can be immensily powerful items in human hands:
Holy Artifacts has a unique name and type.
An Holy Artifact levels up as the player uses it.
An Holy Artifact has a certain rank associated with the amount of kills done with it.
Holy Artifacts are needed to complete certain upcoming quest types.
The God Names
By default, any player is free to believe in any obscure God name that he wishes. (Just like in real life...). To gain more control over the God names, there are 2 options:
Use a whitelist containing the God names of the allowed Gods on the server. ONLY these Gods will be permitted on the server.
Use a blacklist containing the God names that are disallowed on the server. Any other God name than these will be permitted on the server.
Check out the whitelist & blacklist page for the details on how to setup these lists.
See config settings below for how to enable the blacklist and whitelist.
Languages & Custom God speak
All the text for the Gods speaking can be changed and customized to your needs. You might want do adjust the tone of what a God say, expand what a God can say or even want a God to speak in another language!
By default, the God speak texts are found in the english.yml file. (English is the default language of this plugin).
Simply use this file as a template for other languages as well by renaming the file, edit the file and set the Settings.LanguageFile option to your new filename.
If you manage to do a full translation into another language, I would be happy to include your language file in a upcoming release!
Installation
Put the Gods.jar file in your /plugins folder and you are ready to go!
