## About

The God Trials are a series of events which occurred largely when the server was in survival, however sometimes in the creative eras in the form of WorldEdit style assistances. The God Trials began after the server had entered Generation 2 and Era 2, wherein which infrastructure like the tunnels and Pickaxe Bridge were constructed by CDXXmish, conveniently while no one else was online. Noting their size, technicality, and lack of apparent harvested resources, members such as julesasf69, MothBiscuits, and miabeebear started to question the legitimacy of their construction. They began questioning CDXXmish in an event known as The God Inquiry, and eventually evoked a confession out of him, explained below.

## Events and Incidents

### The Prismarine Prayer

The Prismarine Prayer was an event which occurred some time during Era 1 of the server. MothBiscuits, who was constructing her Holiday Home located at 1 Spire Cir, required prismarine blocks in order to construct the roof of the building. She reached out to CDXXmish in order to acquire such an item, however at the time he was under the influence of strict server protocols that he imposed to ensure the integrity of the survival aspect of the server. As such, he told MothBiscuits that her request could not be completed.

A short time later, CDXXmish visited 1 Spire Cir, which was still suffering due to the lack of prismarine to complete its roof. Seeing this, he decided to break protocol and gift MothBiscuits a stack of prismarine shards, under the alias that 'God' did it to assist her troubles in a balanced way. The command was executed in the server's console, meaning it did not carry a signature on who specifically issued it. All of 'God's Gifts' would follow this same style of execution, as not to be traced.

### The Enderpearl Incident

The Enderpearl Incident describes an incident which took place in Era 2. Following the Prismarine Prayer, all players were making small requests to 'God' to receive various items and buffs, all of which were met with varying degrees of resistance. One of these requests, made by esmelly, was for a small amount of enderpearls to construct ender chests for all players on the server. However this time, instead of underwhelming the recipient with a subdued version or smaller quantity of items than what they asked for, 'God' severely overwhelmed. Approximately 999,999 enderpearls were deposited into the already full inventory of esmelly, causing the ones which didn't occupy her remaining space to explode out along the ground in front of her. MothBiscuits, who was nearby, overheard the commotion and asked to split some of the pearls between the two.

Because of the sudden increase in entities, the server would have entered a short period of significantly low TPS rate, as the remainder of it's memory was consumed by rendering and calculating the thousands of enderpearls. To the players, this would have been experienced as lag, however much more was happening behind the scenes in the bowels of the server. The sudden loss of available memory would have forced some critical data to become lost in translation and transmission, and specifically what got lost was the data which limited the amount of items able to be contained in one full stack. For enderpearls, the maximum stack size was 16. However, this momentary lapse in memory somehow bypassed the limiter for not only enderpearls, but the hard stack limit for all items in the game; 64. Overall, esmelly had received stacks of 64 enderpearls and notably one stack of 108 enderpearls, something which should be completely impossible no matter the method of acquiring the item. To this day, it is unknown whether the 108 stack still exists, however the stacks of 64 still exist somewhere in the possession of MothBiscuits.

### Dire Diorite

Dire Diorite refers to an event which occurred when Levi\_Bussa was constructing the Mammot in Era 2. Originally using wool, he ran out of resources quick and needed an alternative, and turned to the naturally spawning diorite to complete his work. He utilised the diorite collected from the excavation of the Pit, yet it still wasn't enough to fulfil the demands of the Mammot, so he turned to seeking help from others. He asked all players on the server for diorite, and received some from MothBiscuits, however still it was not enough. This is when, while he was scavenging, CDXXmish utilised his God powers to enter creative mode and deposit stacks and stacks of diorite into a chest inside the Mammot. Although it was probably obvious, CDXXmish did not credit himself or God, and the Mammot still stands today as one of the last pieces of evidence that corroborated God's involvement.

### The Ascension

After CDXXmish explained about these previous events, he admitted to utilising WorldEdit and creative mode to construct Pickaxe Bridge and the Sewer network. It was at the start of Era 2, back when the server was still strictly survival. The investigative trio, MothBiscuits, julesasf69, and miabeebear agreed that the only way that all parties could benefit from this clear violation of server protocols is to abolish the protocols entirely, and promote all players to creative mode and the ability to access WorldEdit commands. This event was known as the Ascension, as in all players ascending to the level of a God. Nowadays, the only form that assistance from 'God' comes in is when players need a WorldEdit operation done, such as the draining of the Temple or the building of the Ghost Ship. These acts are done without 'God's alias this time, and only because the requesting player doesn't know how to complete it themselves.

Because of his corruption and lies, CDXXmish has been sentenced to life in prison at the {prison TBC}. It's said that he isn't often seen in his cell however, since 'you can't contain a God'.
