for those who aren’t aware what the rainbow factory is: its a my little pony creepypasta (not technically a creepypasta but was kinda made into one anyway) where pegasus ponies - particularly those who are unable to fly - are put into a big ass factory where they get their colour juice sucked out and are made into rainbows. one of the main twists of the story is that one of the higher ups of the factory is Rainbow Dash - a main character in the show who the protagonist of the story Scootaloo looks up to. rainbow factory was MASSIVE in the mlp fandom and there were so many speedpaints and drawings and music made based on it

rainbows aren’t really an important thing in the minecraft universe. so we need something else for this factory to produce. I’m thinking redstone. something about how its magical and its properties are so unique. something about how the only way to farm it is with witch farms and raid farms - farms which require the killing of human-like creatures. something about how its used to represent blood. something about how its vitally important for players and the basis of industry. yeah this fits

this universe’s rainbow dash is obvious - tangotek. he’s KNOWN for iron farms and villagers - machines built off of harming people. the whole decked out 2 dungeon - a massive looming structure that’s oppressive and almost like its own being and its sole purpose is to kill - reminds me just of the rainbow factory. then we keep the fun detail of having a pony with rainbow hair running the rainbow factory, with the guy with red eyes running the redstone factory.

the protagonist and antagonist are deeply linked in this story, one of the key parts of it is the betrayal and shock of the protagonist realising one of the people they trust most in the world is sentencing them to death. with the antagonist as tango, the protagonist must be zedaph. I choose zedaph for quite a few reasons beyond just this bond though - the original story is *very* obvious about its message of people who are viewed as different being seen as worthless and only good for being fed into a machine. in the story this is scootaloo being a pegasus who can’t fly, but here I think an interesting route to take is having zedaph as a useless redstoner. zedaph is a genius but his genius goes unrecognised, people just can’t fathom why he makes such utterly purposeless things rather than profitable machines. some people find the things he makes humorous, but nobody quite gets the fact that its art. in a community where things like efficiency and rates and size are all that matters in determining the worth of a machine, someone that builds things as slow and as silly as possible seems like a fool. I’m not quite sure how the failed flying test would be implemented in this, but zedaph would be sent to the factory because he’s viewed as not worthy of being a hermit - or perhaps not worthy of being a redstoner in general.

those are just the main aspects of the story, you could also include all the various side characters - I think joe hills would make an amazing buddy to accompany zedaph to the Ominous Death Factory. there are so many fun additional villain choices too - etho, xisuma, hypno, cub, doc… even ren I think could make a fun villain, maybe incorporating the factory as part of GigaCorp. plus there’s also the decision of whether this is a thing that’s just occuring on hermitcraft, or whether this is a much larger project affecting the entire player population. and most importantly of all you get to draw tango in a lab coat running an evil factory!!!!!

with all the mlp and hermitcraft crossovers recently, especially with the whole “everyhermit” thing, may I propose: rainbow factory au.
