Brazier

Brazier

This mod is still work in progress, and feedback regarding the balancing of the range or the structures base blocks is highly requested

The brazier is a multiblock structure similar to the beacon or the conduit, enabling players to prevent mob spawns in a certain radius around it.

This is to solve the problem with players having to always light up their builds on the cost of style/simplicity. 

Spooky castles with moody lighting no longer require you to actually be scared of it or having to move into a mushroom biome.

Usage

The structure is a tower-like build made out of any of the bottom blocks. Each level of the tower expands the range of effect by 10 blocks, with a maximum height of 10.

These values are customizable in the config file.

By lighting a torch on the brazier, you get a living torch. Holding it, you are able to see the outline of the area the brazier covers.

To enable mob farms, players can place them above (if the config option “protectAbove” is not set), or use cursed ash.

Cursed ash is a placeable powder which bypasses brazier protection. It is crafted using ash, which is dropped by wither skeletons and warped netherwarts, which are a rare drop when harvesting netherwarts.

Aquisition

There are two ways the brazier is crafted using a Living Flame.

This rare item is aquired either by finding it in a jungle temple or killing a Crazed Illager in a Mansion.

Both of these ways can be disabled separately in the config.

The Crazed is a mage similar to the vindicator. They are able to use two spells, one applying fire resistance to all foes nearby, the other summoning a green flame dealing fire damage.

They are only spawned on generation of a woodland mansion, like the Vindicator, but contrary to them they will not spawn in raids.

Customization

Apart from a client and a server config file, there are some things which can be manipulated by datapacks
