Ashes Mod

When I first started working on this mod, my original idea was to transform the entire game world into a post-apocalyptic desert in the style of "Mad Max". However, after some experimentation, I chose a different approach. Inspired by the Taint mod, I decided to create a separate Wasteland biome that occasionally appears in your world. The Ashes mod is entirely dedicated to this biome - the charred and monochromatic remains of what was once a beautiful landscape. I put much more effort into this mod than any of my other projects, and I hope you enjoy it!

Ashen Wasteland

A barren, charred landscape that creates a post-apocalyptic atmosphere.

Cathedral of Ashes

A rare temple-like structure that generates in Ashen Wastelands. Used to summon the Scorchlord.

Ignisteel Ore

Ignisteel is a rare metal found exclusively in the Ashen Wasteland biome between bedrock and Y=30. It has the same stats as netherite, but you can't make tools from it - only weapons and armor. A full set of Ignisteel armor makes you immune to the Wither effect, while a sword or axe made from this material inflicts Wither on the target.

Burned Ones

Burned Ones are hostile humanoid mobs that spawn in Ashen Wastelands. They are immune to fire, drowning, potion effects, cacti, wither, and dragon fire, take very little knockback, and are completely silent except upon death.

The Scorchlord

The Scorchlord is a slightly overpowered boss summoned using a Scorching Cataclyst. He is immune to fire, drowning, explosions, wither, arrows, thrown tridents, lightning bolts, potions, cacti, and dragon fire. All players within a five block radius of him are immediately hit with the wither effect, so it is recommended to craft a full suit of Ignisteel armor before summoning this boss. And yes, he also throws fireballs, so a shield would be useful. After defeating him, he drops a Blazing Star that can be crafted into a Blazing Beacon. To summon him, create a Scorching Cataclyst by smelting a block of obsidian, find a Cathedral of Ashes, descend into the Ritual Room through the central brazier, and place the Scorching Cataclyst into the slot on the altar.

Blazing Beacon

Blazing Beacons, when used correctly, give the Brightheart effect (which makes players immune to all negative effects except unluck) to all players within a 50 block radius and instantly kill all Burned Ones within a 25 block radius.

If the structure is built correctly, a beam of fire particles should appear through it. Remember not to place blocks where air should be, or the beacon won't activate.
