Magic Pollution

🌑 Magic Pollution

Every death leaves a scar. Protect your world, or watch it be consumed.

Magic Pollution is a challenging magic and survival mod that dynamically changes your world based on your failures. It introduces a spreading corruption system, base defense mechanics, rare loot hunting (Hack-and-Slash elements), and a terrifying boss.

⚠️ The Threat: The Spread of Stagnation

In this mod, dying has severe consequences. When a player dies, a Core of Magic Pollution is born at the location of their death.

• Slowly but surely, this core will corrupt the surrounding environment, turning the terrain into Polluted Cobblestone.

• If left unchecked, it will form a massive, dark dome of stagnation.

• Entering a polluted area is dangerous—players will be inflicted with heavy debuffs (Slowness and Weakness), and hostile mobs will thrive.

✨ The Cure: Cleansing the Land

You have a few ways to fight back against the corruption:

• The Root Cure: Use the Logic of Purification directly on the Core of Magic Pollution to stop the spread at its source.

• Emergency Cleanse: Don't have the Logic item ready? Place a Purified Core Block in the corrupted zone. It acts as an emergency measure, scanning the area and turning polluted blocks back to normal before its power runs out.

🛡️ Base Defense: Establish a Sanctuary

Don't want your beautiful house or machinery swallowed by the darkness? You can protect your base!

• Set up a Purification Block and power it with a Purification Crystal to create a permanent Sanctuary (Barrier).

• Stagnation cannot spread into a Sanctuary, and new cores cannot spawn inside it.

• You can also use a Guardian Block, which periodically slams down Guardian Golems of the Sanctuary to automatically hunt down monsters within the barrier!

⚔️ High Risk, High Reward: Jackpot & Bosses

Fighting inside the polluted zones isn't just dangerous—it's highly rewarding.

• Loot Drops: Defeating monsters on polluted blocks gives a chance to drop Heart Shards based on the enemy's max HP.

• The Jackpot System: If you are incredibly lucky, an enemy might drop the legendary Obsidian Scythe (Prototype), a powerful weapon with immense enchantments!

• The King of Stagnation: Beware. Recklessly interfering with the logic of the world might cause the pollution to go berserk, summoning the ultimate boss: the King of Stagnation.
