Frequently asked questions

How do I stop my base from decaying?
Stay near your base or have villagers and pillagers in the area—the mod prevents decay when human mobs are within range. If you're leaving for a long time, keep at least one NPC nearby or build your base deep underground where decay happens much slower.
What blocks decay and what do they turn into?
Almost all solid blocks follow specific decay chains that break them down into natural materials like dirt and grass, except for blocks in the End dimension. Each block type has its own decay path, so wood might decay differently than stone.
Why is my underground base decaying so fast?
If your base is near the surface, decay happens much faster there. Move deeper underground or ensure players or villagers stay nearby to prevent decay entirely.
Do I need to do anything to enable the mod or set it up?
No—the mod works automatically once installed. Blocks in untouched areas will begin decaying according to the mod's rules without any configuration needed.
