The Minecraft Drama Generator is a collection of software originally created by asie, but forked by many other coders. It will automatically generate a rumor based on a list of mod authors and other aspects, to parody various conflicts that have occurred in the modded Minecraft community.

Asie's version was the original version. It was shut down sometime in September 2014, and replaced by a message stating that it has been bought by Microsoft– a joke based on Microsoft's purchase of Mojang[1]. It had been used over 800 thousand times[2]. It made a brief return at BetterThanMinecon 2015, running through an OpenComputers setup.
Asie also made another version of it in his mod, Charset, through the Drama in a Bottle.

SatanicSanta recreated asie's version in Ruby, mostly to experiment with creating Ruby on Rails applications, but also to have a web version of the application that actually generates dramatic situations. However, the application ended up being written using Sinatra instead of Rails.

Mr_okushama created a special version of the Minecraft Drama Generator to work as a Minecraft mod, for 1.6.4 and 1.7.2. It modifies normal Minecraft's splashes to be replaced with the more dramatic announcements.

Alfred is an IRC bot made for the official FTB IRC channel, also used in many other Minecraft related IRC channels on EsperNet. It includes an IRC command, `drama (~drama in developer mode), which obtains a random dramatic event from the Minecraft Drama Generator: Ruby Edition. Prior to the release of this drama generator, it used asie's official version. The switch was made through a pull request by the developer of the Ruby edition, due to asie's version being taken down.
