Problem description

There is a ill placed demon in the mod's tutorial books. Several religions find this sort of thing as evil and it's disrespectful to them for including it here.

Also I don't know if it's just me but it just feels weirdly sexual. It feels creepy and sexual, like it's someone's fursona that they draw r34 for but instead of that this is just a whole different fandom. Also with the reddit threads (around when it was first added) calling them hot. Like no get this out of Minecraft. You're a tool mod, not a porn mod so start acting like it.

Suggested solution

Stop centering things around demons and demonic activity or anything spiritual. Make it fit more in the Minecraft world by centering around themes already there. Instead of anything demonic, center it around piglins or something.

Alternatives considered

Consider the fact that the base game doesn't really touch spirituality and focuses on fantasy mobs.

Additional context

I am sure someone reading this just got angry and wants to write a mean spirited comment or to mock me. I am not trying to be mean, rude or anything negative. It's just creepy and doesn't belong in the game. It also feels like someone took it to a not so pg13 path.

Also you have in one of your books a modifier called stripping and said something along the lines of "Not that kind of stripping? Boring." Like dude kids play this game get that out of minecraft. If you want to go down that route put your mod on lovers lab, not curse forge.

Searched for existing enhancement?

Checked the in game books

Since when is a guy with grey rock like skin a demon? Thats not accurate to any religion I know of. There is nothing spiritual about the character. That said, the rest of the mod is a magic mod; if your beliefs don't like magic, you have a hard time playing Minecraft at all.

As for it being "sexual", uh, no? He is simply a character from a different species that has a different view on clothes. I don't see how its any different from watching an animated series with non human main characters who don't wear clothes, like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. There is nothing sexual about the image unless your mind is already in the gutter.
