Black stars are objects that consume almost everything in their area of effect. This mod provides 2 kinds of stars - black and red. Red are mobile, black are immobile. They attract items, blocks, creatures and destroy them;
they don't attract players because there would be no way to recover your items once you die from a star, but players will receive damage if they are at the center of a star. Stars get a random size when spawned; they can move through any blocks.
There is a way to define custom star types using BlackStar.json file. Example file:
{ "stone_breaker": { "blockstates": [ "minecraft:stone", "minecraft:dirt", "minecraft:grass" ], "color": "0x777777" }, "tree_breaker": { "blockstates": [ "minecraft:log:0", "minecraft:log:1", "minecraft:log:3", "minecraft:log:5", "minecraft:leaves", "minecraft:double_plant", "minecraft:tallgrass", "minecraft:red_flower" ], "mobile": true, "color": "0x77cc77" }, "liquidhole": { "blockstates": [ "minecraft:water", "minecraft:lava" ], "color": "0x8888dd" }, "skeletron": { "entities": [ "minecraft:skeleton", "minecraft:wither_skeleton" ], "color": "0x883388", "mobile": true } }
<br /><br />
The type names - "skeletron", "tree_breaker", and so on are arbitrary and used to identify the star type. The keys:
"mobile" - sets whether the star can move;
"color" - sets the color of the star;
"entities" - list of entities which will be pulled by the star;
"blockstates" - list of blocks that will be broken and pulled.
Either "blockstates" or "entities" key is mandatory; mobility will be random if not specified, and color - will be black. The star type name will be displayed in front of it.
There is a command "stars", with following arguments:
- "reload" - reparse the Json file (if you want to apply the changes without restarting minecraft);
- "destroy" - destroys all stars;
- <custom star group name> - spawns a new instance of custom star.
Stars spawn only in new chunks.
Check out mod config for useful options.
Warning - star operation may be resource-intensive, a computer with good CPU is recommended.
