About this project
What does Pollution add?
Add's a Pollution System that dynamically uses fire sources such as Fire pits, Forges, Coke Ovens, etc to add pollution to the chunk they're in, spreading the pollution around them
While the Pollution can build up, the more plants/trees/leaves, you have nearby will also affect how quickly the pollution will go away, the more plants the faster it does it
It also has a map layer, so if you open up your map it'll be the bottom one, simply place down a firepit.. or two.. maybe 6 to see some pollution immediately!
I made this as a what if mod, So the only thing it does Systematically to you the player, is darken clouds and your screen, and add more cloud generation when you're in a polluted chunk
It's customizable so feel free to edit settings as you wish to play around with it, you can also add in other mods items in the config
I haven't really tested it much, so let me know if you run into a bug!
