Writing this down both for me and for other Minecraft AU (Or even ARG) creators!
Cool things you can base a fictional cult/religion in Minecraft over:
Jean the Ender Dragon, Her egg, The End Crystals or the end in general.
The Farlands. If they aren't in your universe they absolutely should be /hj
Any of the boss or more powerful mobs. The Warden, Wither, Elder Guardian etc.
The Nether. Like maybe a group sacrifices things into the portal and something on the other side throws things through.
Totems Of Undying. I feel like the fact they look like an Illager isn't talked about enough.
Enchantment Tables & Brewing Stands.
Some of the rarer mobs could also be good, especially for religions/cults of Villagers. Like Creakings, Camel Husks etc.
OR, if it's Nether Mobs, they can worship something from the overworld! Like a cow that wandered through a portal!
Was writing the bottom part when I thought of an honestly REALLY good one. One based around Golden Dandelions and the idea of eternal youth/life.
I was about to post this when I thought of another. Yk the removed Dreams Dimension? A religion/cult in a story or even ARG based around that would be fire
Would like to specify a bit that this was written with the ideas of it being used in my AU, where there are 2 species that are actually prone to religion, Piglins and Villagers. So I was mostly thinking about them and other mobs, not players.
Another good tip is think about what dimension their in. And if they have access to other ones. For example if a group in the nether with no access to the Overworld found a chicken (Which yes do spawn naturally there) which produced food in the form of eggs, they might worship it!
Hope these helped! Suggestions are welcome :]
