Asteroid Events
Asteroids are timed world events that crash into configured worlds and broadcast their coordinates globally. The farther from spawn an asteroid lands, the higher its tier, mob pressure, and loot ceiling.
Spawn cadence
- Random timer between 1200–3600s.
- 5% chance to bias impact near players (up to 25,000 blocks).
- 20% meteor shower chance on spawn cycle.
- 10s countdown before impact.
Combat space rules
- Impact blast radius: 2 blocks.
- Mob leash radius: 16 blocks.
- Base reaction radius: 32 blocks.
- Per-mob reaction multipliers and minimum floors are configurable for pursuit pressure.
Tier system by distance
| Tier | Distance threshold | Core mobs | Default count | Boss access |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | Base tier | Zombie, Skeleton | 4 mobs | None |
| Tier 2 | 10,000+ blocks | Zombie, Skeleton, Blaze, Magma Cube | 6 mobs | None |
| Tier 3 | 20,000+ blocks | Zombie, Skeleton, Wither Skeleton, Vex, Piglin Brute | 8 mobs | Ravager / Warden bosses |
Each tier can also apply potion effects and AOE zones (radius, duration, particles, delay) from config, with stronger defaults on higher tiers.
Tier 3 boss mechanics
Tier 3 bosses can roll advanced ability packages tracked internally by mechanic metadata keys. Expect zone denial, burst windows, and movement checks:
Projectile & area mechanics
- Projectile blast detonations.
- Firewall patterns that apply fire pressure.
- Ravager slam impact shocks.
Boss-specific signatures
- Warden pulse knockback/control windows.
- Piglin Brute flame waves.
- Wither nova with stacked team punishment.
Loot profile
Asteroid cores always drop scaled resource bundles, then roll optional rare drops, custom utility items, enchant pages, cosmetic aura tokens (Tier 3), and bow-trail applicator tokens (Tier 2/3).
Guaranteed scaled materials
Iron, gold, emeralds, diamonds, and chance-based netherite scrap scale per tier with min/max config ranges.
Rare roll table
Totem of Undying, Enchanted Golden Apple, Nether Star, Ancient Debris, Dragon Breath, Heavy Core, and Dragon Egg with higher tier odds.
Special systems
Tier 2/3 can roll Rebirth Stone, Totem of Life, and Enhanced Grindstone. Enchant pages are configurable with extra rolls; Tier 3 guarantees at least one page if none hit. Plus, every 100 asteroids looted grants 1 Asteroid Lootbox that lets you pick 1 custom enchantment book for free.
Tier 2/3 can also roll bow-trail applicator tokens from a configured pool (default 6% on Tier 2 and 10% on Tier 3), and Tier 3 keeps its 2% default cosmetic aura token chance.
