Coronation of the Minecraftian Monarch

The Coronation of the Minecraftian Monarch (マインクラフト国君主の戴冠) is a ceremony held to commence the start of a new reigning for the Minecraftian monarch. The ceremony takes place for every new member to the throne, even if their spouse takes over. The ceremony is typically held two to three months after the previous monarch's death, which is approximately 60 - 90 days. The reigning typically commences at noon (Western Minecraftia Time) on that day, when a bishop administers the crown to the new monarch. The only days that are blocked out are on Sundays, where they are considered to be free days for workers of the kingdom. The most recent coronation was the swearing in of Queen Konata in 2006.

The most common element of the coronation is the administering of the crown to the new monarch before they can begin their reigning. Over the years, the coronation was expanded from a simple crowning to events that spread all day, such as parades and social gatherings. Almost every coronation is held in the Great Hall of the Lucky Star Kingdom, or sometimes, outside during the summertime if rain or storms are not ongoing.

Ceremony sequence
The ceremony typically begins at noon in Western Minecraftia Time, with the new monarch walking up to the front of the throne if inside or near the entrance if outside. Generally, an orchestra plays the opening hymn with a choir singing over it. A new hymn is composed and played at every coronation, and if the same song is played during a coronation, the lyrics are typically changed. After the song is over, the Minecraftian Prime Minister gets on a podium and welcomes the guests to the coronation, followed by a short speech given by the same person.

After the speech is finished, a bishop, accompanied by two miko, walk up to the new monarch and instructs them to recite an oath before receiving the crown. The oath is typically read like this:


 * I, (new monarch's full name), swear that I will assume the throne and defend Minecraftia from all known enemies and bear true allegiance that cannot be broken in half. As I take this obligation freely, I prophecize that my future generations and their love interests take the throne in the future. God help us in all future conflicts we encounter and have a safe reigning.

After the oath's reciting has been finished, the bishop then administers the crown to the new monarch by placing it on their head, followed by the two miko who perform a blessing ritual on the new monarch. After the crown is administered, the new monarch must give a speech by saying what they will do to Minecraftia in the future. After the speech is finished, one or two prayers are recited to wish good luck to the new monarch. After the prayers, the Prime Minister makes an announcement to conclude the ceremony and guests are freely allowed to roam around the kingdom.
