Molten Cavern Biome

The Molten Cavern is a raging hot biome, where Deepslate has turned into Darkslate and lava can be found in layered pools. Strips of Magma and Tuff carve through the terrain. Geysers, Scorched Remains, Crystal Husks, and Scorchers can be found here.

Darkslate

• Dark stone type that is sensitive to heat.
• Has 5 stages of heat level 0-4.
• Heat is provided via the BlockTag heat_provider
• All heat providers can be added via BlockTags and the appropriate heat level.

Magma Pad

• ‘Lily Pad’ but for lava
• Burns the player if not crouching similar to magma blocks when stepped on

Geyser

• Found naturally in layered lava pools.
• Has a burst that will go off on randomTick. This burst will boost any entities in the direction it faces.
• Placing a Magma Block below will boost the Geyser.
• Placing a Block of Scorched Remains below the Geyser will spawn molten ash particles.
• Powering the Geyser will disable its boost, and when depowered the Geyser will immediately burst.
• When bursting, the Geyser will heat nearby Darkslate & heatable blocks.

Crystal Husk

• Stripped of their life long ago, Crystal Husk can be found in the Molten Cavern.
• Crystal Husks can be reawakened by giving them a diamond. Doing this will start their growth into a Living Crystal.
• Heatable similar to Darkslate. When heated, crystals will fail to grow.

Living Crystal

• Living Crystals proactively spread. A living crystal placed adjacent to any Diamond Ore will replace and grow into that Diamond Ore.
• Living Crystals like the sweetness of Melons. Placing a Melon adjacent to any Living Crystal will cause the Living Crystal to start its 'burrowing' process. Melons will be turned into stone melons, and slowly, the living crystal will grow inside, until finally it breaks out of its shell, turning into a Crystal Melon. The original Living Crystal will have fully left its original block, decaying back to a Dead Living Crystal.
• Heatable similar to Darkslate. When heated, Crystal Melons will fail to grow.

Crystal Melon

• Crystal Melons are formed when a Living Crystal and a Melon are placed next to eachother.
• Crystal Melons when used while in the offhand, will supercharge any tool to make it unbreakable, give 20% more attack speed, mining speed, and attack damage, for 5 minutes.

• All stat bonuses are adjustable via config.

• Crystal Melons can also be found in the Catacombs structure, placed or in chests.

Scorched Remains

• Found randomly on the ground in the Molten Cavern
• Has a 50% chance to drop charcoal when broken without silk touch or shears.
• Smelts 10 items.
• Crafted with Charcoal and Rotten Flesh.
• Can be made into a block.

Block of Scorched Remains

• Smelts 24 items
• Made with Rotten Flesh and Charcoal
• Found naturally under Geysers
• When placed under a Geyser, the Geysers will spread hot ash particles.

Scorcher

• A large eye that does damage with its fiery stare.
• Can only spawn with world generation
• Does damage that ramps up the longer the eye maintains eye contact.
• Does 0 damage the first second, then does 1 more damage for every second the player is in view.
• Can spot and attack players up to 48 blocks away.
• The player will need to keep breaking line of sight to be effective against it.
• When a Scorcher kills a mob/player, it will place Scorched Remains where it was killed.
• If the player looks directly into the eye, it will flash the player and blind them.
• Pushes the player back when seen, with a strength dependent on how close the player is to the Scorcher.
• Drops Blaze Powder.
