Cleanse

The Cleanse is a term for events that occur infrequently when the Simply Vanilla gods, SimplyMayy and SimplySeb, wipe the world clean of any civilization and progression. Possibly in order to stabilize the population growth. The most recent cleanse occurred on July 3, 2021.
== Classification and Use ==
The Cleanse has possibly been used for environmental protection, resurrecting the Ender Dragon, mass murder of mobs and other unwanted creatures, or for the sake of chaos. But it is mostly used as a gateway to the Updates that occur around the Multiverse. The Cleanse has often been seen simply as a genocide, but the two terms are very different from each other.
== History ==
=== 1.13 - July 2018 ===
The first Cleanse was thought to occur during July 2018 when the 13th Update -- dubbed 1.13 by the community -- made its way to the world. To make way for the new life and resources, the first Cleanse was initiated by May and Seb; wiping the world clean.
=== 1.14 - April 2019 ===
For the 14th Update, May and Seb had found that there was to be new, primitive raiders as well as more diverse villagers. To make way for this, they cleaned the world to let in the new raiders.
=== 1.15 - December 2019 ===
Since May and Seb unleashed the 15th Update alongside the 16th Update, there was no cleanse.
=== 1.16 - July 2020 ===
Although this mostly affected the Nether realm, the entire world was cleaned due to overpopulation.
=== 1.17 - July 2021 ===
The most recent cleanse. Occurred when evidence of lush and developed caves were found by May and Seb. It could have also been due to the large amounts of wars that happened between the two cleanses.
