Didn't we just have the Lunar Event? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it heavily based around culture/religion?

I’d also like to add that constantly saying “but what about x” isn’t getting us anywhere with this. It’s besides the point, apparently Microsoft did allow those. Nor, should you try and take away current events because your own event/theme isn’t allowed by a third party. Be happy you get to enjoy the themes we’re currently (able to) offer(ing).
Also, the obvious has to be said. Halloween is not a religious event (anymore). It might have had some connection in the past, but in the current day it is really not. It’s about getting candy, and dressing up like scary creatures. It probably predates the connections to the bigger religions of today anyhow.
But to further prove my earlier point, for example, Christianity. To my knowledge, that belief teaches to be nice to others, be generous, to not lie, steal, cheat, etc.
And I’m sure there are other beliefs that teach similar things as well, but it would be impossible for Cubecraft to implement them all.

Alright so what I have learnt from people’s comments is that they want cubecraft to focus more on the 1.19 update but they still somehow focus on stuff like Christmas, Halloween, Easter and lunar… so my conclusion is we should remove every event in this server becuase they MIGHT have some kind of “religious background” and let cubecraft do there thing by focusing on the 1.19 update.
Some people wanted this to be fair so this is the only option
Also it’s really sad that some people are using alts to prove there point…

Same lol
That’s true. But not as much as Ramadan is, in my opinion.
I didn’t even know anybody was using alts. That’s kinda pathetic tbh.Alright so what I have learnt from people’s comments is that they want cubecraft to focus more on the 1.19 update but they still somehow focus on stuff like Christmas, Halloween, Easter and lunar… so my conclusion is we should remove every event in this server becuase they MIGHT have some kind of “religious background” and let cubecraft do there thing by focusing on the 1.19 update.

The Lunar event comes from Lunar new year. It’s the beginning of the year in a different calendar system. Culture sure, but everything is based on culture or location then. Even winter and spring aren’t globally the same.

As you said about Halloween, Ramadan is about being kind and thinking about the poor, same thing said.
Alright, I wasn't tryna argue. I was curious how that was allowed as it seems "more cultural" than Halloween, Christmas e,t,c
I'll try to do my best to clear up some thoughts on this concept and illustrate where we stand on the suggestion.
Religion has been a massive part of human history to the point that most events you can think of that takes place in the real world are based on religion, or at least were. I'd be surprised if you could think of one that isn't.
Religious topics are very complicated as they may contradict each other and thus lead to verbal conflict when they are brought up. Minecraft wants to be a global game that appeals to all without outside forces pushing it, so it makes sense to try to avoid the topic and we generally agree.
However in modern-day humanity, these events are slowly becoming more general celebrations, Christmas has become a fairly common holiday that is celebrated by many non-religious groups.
Easter has also lost its religious elements and so it's now doable as an event. Halloween & Lunar too.
I'd say we can do any that have shifted in such a way that it wouldn't challenge anyone's views or faith as everyone is entitled to their own view and opinion.
If it brings an amazingly creative vibe/ideas to the table, incites positive themes like the others and isn't as religious as it once was then we will strongly consider doing it.
We have expressed interest in doing 'Carnival' & 'Day of the Dead' for this reason.
For Ramadan, we'd need to do more research, nobody on the server team currently is knowledgeable on the subject but I wouldn't want to rule it out entirely yet as we know it's important to many.

If the Christmas and Easter updates needed to be renamed due to religious reasons to Winter and Spring updates respectively, then obviously something like this is completely out of place.
Because there are other religions and cultures that represent similar values, and if they integrate one, then everyone is going to want they’re own beliefs there too, which would hugely bog down Cubecraft.
I respect your opinion but I won’t reply to it because im not in the mood to.
That’s ok lol.

This is a great idea and can be surely implemented on the CubeCraft network.
I see that people say this is "religious". I know, Microsoft doesn't like religious stuff, but fasting is a thing for Muslims, Christians, and Jewish people. It's not a big deal and it can have some themes like a moon which is a thing in the space that orbits around the earth or something like a lantern like in lunar event.
So yeah i guess this should be worked on. I agree.

I'm pretty sure the reason you fast is not because u have to stay in shape. It's for you to be reminded of the less fortunate, and see how good you have things in your life.
Muslim here,
While I agree that all these ideas are cool, I highly suggest that you do not add mosque-like architectures since it could be griefed by other players and may cause controversy throughout arabian social media circles, however, the iftar tables are an amazing idea!!
I am so excited to get that lantern cage aswel

Yes, that is the point of fasting in islamic teachings
After a second review on this event plan, it is highly recommended that you scrap it off entirely
The month of Ramadan is a completely religious celebration, and not just a cultural thing.
Since microsoft does not allow religious content, this event should be scrapped off entirely, just because you don't consider Halloween to be a religious event, that does not apply for Ramadan as well, if you don't want to lose MS's trust then it's better to cancel this event.
