Life, Standing & Memorials
Your actions on SolarCiv can become part of your character's personal story. Beliefs records deeds linked to a faith's teachings and lets you look back on previous lives.
Your current life
Open /faith and choose Your life to see your recent deeds and standing.
A teaching may assign positive or negative points to an in-game action. Possible recorded actions include:
- Praying, worship services, offerings, blessings and forgiveness.
- Eating or drinking, including violations of a faith's food rules.
- Completing or breaking a fast.
- Killing creatures.
- Marriage and adoption.
Whether a deed is rewarded or penalized depends on the teaching in force for that faith. A founder may also mark certain violations as serious.
The same action can have a different meaning in different religions. The point system reflects a faith's configured teachings, not a server-wide judgment of real-world beliefs or players.
Standing and completed lives
When a life ends, its record can include a life score, significant deeds, serious violations and a final judgment. Your faith's settings and the server configuration determine what a judgment may do.
The system recognizes outcomes including blessings, neutral judgments, penance and a possible Nether-related afterlife rule. Do not assume every afterlife effect is active: the server can disable it or require additional setup.
Your first completed-life report becomes available after your character dies. Previous life records remain available even when you leave a faith.
Memorial heads
Beliefs lets players remember a completed life with a memorial head:
- Open Remembrance or the memorials area in the faith menu.
- Choose a completed life.
- Add an optional public inscription.
- Collect the memorial head if one is available.
- Place the head in a permitted location, then right-click it to read the remembrance.
Treat memorial inscriptions as public content and keep them within the server rules. As with other decorative items, only place memorials where your build permissions allow it.
Hold a remembrance
You can begin a small gathering at a memorial. The host and any voluntary participants stay within 8 blocks for 20 seconds to reflect together. The host leaving ends the gathering.
The memorial screens also help you find nearby remembrance gatherings.
A continuing story
Your faith may change, a marriage may end, or a founder may archive a religion. Your personal history and family records are designed to persist through those changes.
Read Marriage, Adoption & Family Trees for the relationship system, or Founding & Managing a Faith to understand teachings.
