Utu

Utu was the Sumerian God of the Sun, and his followers of the teachings of Utuism was the largest religion on MinecraftPlanetEarth during the Third Era. He had more the twice the followers of Oceana, the god with the second largest following.
The first temple of worship was on the island of Cyprus, which was one of four territories that composed the town of Rhodes. After more players joined Utuism, more temples were founded across the map.
Like all of the gods added into the game with the Religion Plugin, Utu had a personality where he had objects and creatures he liked and disliked. 
Holy Animals: Cow and Mooshroom
Unholy Beings: Undead
Holy Food: Pork
Unholy Food: Carrot
By using the Religion Plugin, players could create a shrine to a god of their choice, of which its construction was simple:
* Place a block on the ground
* Place a torch on top of the block
* Place a sign on the block
* The sign should read "Altar" on the first line, "of" on the second, and the name of the god on the third. In this case, "Utu".
Players could pray at an altar once every 30 minutes. The countdown would continue back down to zero even if the player was offline. To show his gratitude to his followers, Utu would give a player a piece of cooked pork every time they prayed at one of his altars, to ensure they would never go hungry so long as they remained true and faithful to him.
Utu was a god who placed high expectations on his followers and was also quick to anger. He would frequently give tasks to his followers, which were usually along the lines of:
* Sacrifice Feathers for him by tossing them into a fire.
* Burning carrots with flint and steel
* Slay Zombies or Skeletons
When a player ignored Utu's requests for some time, Utu would send down a bolt of energy from the sun to burn the player as punishment for their unfaithfulness. He would also punish his followers who ate carrots, eat beef, and those who slew cows or mooshrooms.
Utu held a strong following, and though many of his followers names have been lost to time, some of his faithful included:
