The Big Wipe Genocide is a term used by Brazilian players do designate the time when the server updated to 1.16 version.
Around February 5-10th, the server experiences a change when Fix updates EarthMC to the 1.16 version. During that time, only premium players could join. When it happened, a big wipe of mobs happened in the nation of Brazil for unknown reasons. Some players say it also happened in other nations, but brazil was by far one of the mostly affected.
The Brazilian economy by that time was based on turtle eggs, horses, feathers, eggs, leather, wool and other animal-based products that were sold internally or to other nations that were willing to buy, even if the exportation of glass and wood would also be part of it, the main products sold were animal based.
During the Big Wipe Genocide, many towns had to experience a big loss into its economy, including Mehinaku, Sao_Paulo, Osaka, Vatican, France, DisneyLand, Campinas, Bacurau and Belem (put in order of amount of mobs lost). Mehinaku used to keep a cow pen with more than 100 cows underground, having a high production of leather every day, feeding the international market and using the gold for internal projects of growing. Sao Paulo had sheeps that were being used to produce wool that were also helping the economy of the town. The economy had to be re-designed due to the event in order to keep on moving the economic activity rate, but the Wipe Genocide had still a big impact in the nations economy.
Marechall passing through the Negation fase of the 5 stages of grief.
The effects of the Genocide werent only in the economic matter. In fact, it also affected the Cultural aspect: in the city of Campinas, a player named Marechall used to keep a Chicken named Gallinacea, showing a lot of affection and being really close to his pet. During the Genocide, Galinacea was one of the victims of the unfair unprecedented massive killing. Marechall was severely affected by the fact that he lost the one that he mostly love in the EarthMC world, making the nation shocked by what happened. During the time, Marechall had passed to all of the 5 stages of grief and loss.
The town of campinas made several statues in honour of Gallinacea and to remember of those who were lost in the Genocide. Marechall joined the Brazilian Senate and has made proposals of changing in the political system and has questioned the status of Xinguism as official religion of Brazil.
Xinguism used to pray for Fix and the holy land of Xingu (where mehinaku is located), but the Big Brazilian Genocide also happened in the land of Xingu.

The willing to change has grown up to the fact that Marechall funded its own religion named "coolism", where Fix is the God of the religion (such as Xinguism) but the Chickens are the divine image of the religion, and not the Land of Xingu. The religion of Coolism also has a Holy Book and Marechall is its pope, but the religion isnt the official religion of Brazil.
Lately, the religious situation of Brazil has been more and more radical due to the big wipe genocide, since the current religion Xinguism has attempted to make a Brazilian Xinguist Inquisition (but failed), while the Coolism pope has been more and more aggresive with terms such as blasphemy and bastards.
