Ghastly Wail is a server-side mod. It works in singleplayer, and clients don't need it to connect to servers with it.
This mod adds a new mechanic for renewable crying obsidian.
When a ghast dies in a nether portal, all the obsidian blocks that make up the portal frame will be converted to obsidian and then shatter into item form.
Why?
- It thematically connects normal obsidian and crying obsidian
- Ghasts' tears mean it makes 'video game sense' for them to be involved in the conversion to crying obsidian
- "But crying obsidian is already renewable through piglin barters! " It is, and I recommend removing crying obsidian from bartering if you use this mod. Here's a simple datapack that does just that.
As of 1.1.0, the gamerule ghastly_wail:breakConvertedObsidian controls whether the crying obsidian is dropped as an item or replaces the portal frame in block form.
This mod is only for Fabric (works on Quilt, too!) and I won't be porting it to Forge. The license is MIT, however, so anyone else is free to port it.
I'd appreciate links back to this page if you port or otherwise modify this project, but links aren't required.
