Add spice to your world, with giant peppers of molten (or frozen!) rock that fall from the sky!

This mod adds meteors, chunks of rock that randomly fall from the sky every now and then, exploding on impact and leaving useful resources in the impact crates they make.

You will be able to craft lasers to defend yourself from the destructive power of these touchy sky rocks, or maybe you could find some cuteness inside some them! Meow!

This mod is extremely configurable, meaning that you can adjust it however you like. Would you like more metors at night? Cool! Would like them not to explode anything? Done! And a lot of other settings!

Inspired by the old meteor mods and commissioned by SlayerTheChikken

Feature list

Meteor sizes

Meteors can spawn in a variety of different sizes, the bigger the size the bigger the damage and the "structure" that will be left behind. You can adjust which size of meteors is able to spawn and how frequently the meteors spawn.

Lasers blocks

They are used to defend your base from the falling meteorites, by shooting a laser at the meteor and destroying it while midair

There are two tiers of lasers:

• The basic one has a shorter, but still very considerable range by default (you can change it in the config file!). It also has a loger cooldown time (3s by default, you can even disable it all together) and won't be able to destroy meteors past a certain size (up to sizes that are 1/3 smaller than the biggest, configurable too)
• The advanced laser, bigger area coverage, shorter cooldown time and can destroy every type of laser. You will however need to gather some meteorich chunks to craft meteoric alloy in order to power up your basic laser to this advanced version

You can interact with the lasers using a Focusing Lenses item to make them display the area that they are currently covering. When a meteor hits this area the laser activates and explodes the meteor.

Items

This mod also adds a few items, Meteoric Chunks which can be obtained when breaking (without Silk Touch) the Meteoric Rock that spawns when meteors explode on land. This can be tuned into 9 raw iron or used to craft Meteoric Alloy. You will need to combine 2 Meteoric Chunks with 2 Iron Ingots to obtain 2 of the alloy, which you can then use in the crafting for the Advanced Laser. Then we have the Focusing Lenses, which are used in the crafting of the two lasers. They require lime glass, amethyst, and quartz.

Meteor structures

The ones that spawn when a meteor explodes. They are located in the folder /data/ohmymeteors/structure(s if below mc1.21) and you can customized them using a datapack. They are the same files that you get out of the Structure Block in vanilla.

Meteor cat

A cute kitty could be travelling the galaxy at any given moment. And it could land on your minecraft world (as long as you don't shoot it down with a laser that is). They can survive in the fire, have a 15HP instead of 10HP, and if you so chose to dispose of them, they will drop some meteoric chunks (reminding you of your cruelty and cosmic-feline-bloodstained hands)

Config file

Located at /config/ohmymeteros/ohmymeteors_config.yml it contains a lot of settings that you can adjust to your liking. Remember that if you play on a server, the server's settings are the one that are going to be used (this is also part of the reason why there is no GUI).

You can reload the config in game using /omm reload.

If somehow the config gets corrupted or updates in a weird way, a copy of the corrupted file will be created to allow you to back it up, and a new resetted one will be generated and used as well.

#### Commands
They are meant more for debugging purposes, but if need there are a few commands:
```/omm spawn &lt;size&gt; [velocity]```
Will spawn a meteor in your looking direction with the specified size and the optionally specified velocity
```/omm spawn random```
Will spawn a random meteor in a random direction in a random postiont around you
```/omm reload```
Will reload the config file
