Volcanic Ash Combat

Introduces volcanic hazards to Nether PvP encounters.

Features

Volcanic Vents

  • Spawn randomly across Nether wastes and basalt deltas biomes using marker entities
  • Erupt every few minutes with a chance-based trigger system

Ash Clouds

  • Dense particle effects that expand outward in a radius upon eruption
  • Persist for 30-60 seconds before dissipating naturally
  • Apply effects to players in the cloud:
    • Mining fatigue
    • Reduced visibility
    • Small amounts of fire damage over time

Tactical Element

  • Creates dynamic environmental zones during PvP fights
  • Enables positioning strategies: lure enemies into ash or use eruptions as cover for retreats

Technical Details

  • Uses scoreboard timers for eruption cycles
  • Uses area effect clouds for damage zones
  • Optimized for performance: only checks vent status every 20 ticks, limited to loaded chunks with efficient entity selectors

Commands

  • /function volcanic_ash:force_eruption - Trigger an eruption at the nearest vent
  • /function volcanic_ash:clear_all - Remove all active ash clouds
