Echoes of the World
\n> The world remembers what you do. And one day, it remembers loud enough to
\n> strike back \u2014 sometimes through a Warden, sometimes through a volcano,
\n> sometimes through a deadly tornado.
\n**Echoes of the World** is a *consequence* mod for Minecraft NeoForge 1.21.1.
\nEvery chunk you mine, every fight you start, every animal you slaughter,
\nevery villager you trade with, every death you suffer \u2014 it all carves an
\n**echo** into the world’s memory. The deeper your mark, the louder the echo:
\nghostly versions of past actions begin to manifest, hunt the most marked
\nplayers, and culminate in cinematic global events:
\n– The **Memory Convergence** \u2014 a stormy ritual of lightning, falling shards,
\n screen-shake and a trinity of unstoppable echoes.
\n– A **Living Volcano** \u2014 slow-burning, multi-phase, with realistic block
\n ejection, earthquakes felt only by nearby players, seismic waves, and a
\n giant **Magma Overlord** boss that can emerge from the eruption.
\n– A **Tri-State Tornado** \u2014 a deadly EF5 wedge tornado that travels in a
\n near-straight track, sucks mobs \/ items \/ falling blocks toward its core,
\n destroys fragile blocks in its path, and can summon the **Storm
\n Sovereign** Breeze boss.
\n– The **Echo Overlord** Warden \u2014 the apex boss of the corruption path,
\n reserved for fully corrupted players (configurable, default 100\/100).<\/p>\n
It is fully **server-aware** (memory is per-world, not per-player), so your
\nmultiplayer server gets a long-term, evolving narrative built directly from
\nyour players’ actions.<\/p>\n
And every new in-game day, the world surprises you with a brand-new
\n**procedural adventure**: a dungeon, a monolith, a forsaken village, a
\nshrine, or a smoking crater \u2014 never the same twice.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Boss progression \u2014 driven by corruption<\/p>\n
Bosses are no longer “random pop-ups”. The world reads the corruption of
\nthe players online and unlocks tiers of threats accordingly:<\/p>\n
| Max corruption (any online player) | Natural bosses available |
\n|————————————|—————————————————–|
\n| 0\u201329 | None (calm world; only daily adventures + Convergence) |
\n| 30+ | Magma Overlord (volcano eruptions) and Storm Sovereign Breeze (tornado spawns) |
\n| 100 | + **Echo Overlord** (Warden) \u2014 apex boss |<\/p>\n
– The threshold (`echoes.bossCorruptionThreshold`, default 30) gates the
\n natural spawn of Magma and Storm Sovereign bosses.
\n– A separate config (`echoes.echoOverlordCorruptionRequired`, default 100)
\n gates the Echo Overlord Warden \u2014 both its natural spawn and the
\n `\/echoes boss` command. The Warden is, by design, the **sole reward of
\n full corruption**.
\n– A corruption multiplier (`echoes.corruptionSpawnBoostPercent`, default
\n 300) makes natural events (volcanoes, tornadoes, eruptions, bosses) up
\n to 3x more frequent at corruption 100. Set to 100 to disable.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Core systems<\/p>\n
### 1. World memory
\n– **Per-chunk stats**: blocks mined, mob kills, deaths, PvP events, visits.
\n– **Per-player stats**: corruption, harmony, deaths, kills, blocks
\n mined\/placed, **passive kills**.
\n– A **danger score** is computed from these stats. Above thresholds, a chunk
\n becomes a **hotspot** that can spawn echoes, trigger Convergences and
\n even raise a volcano.<\/p>\n
### 2. Alignment system: corruption vs. harmony<\/p>\n
The mod’s beating heart. Every action shifts your alignment, and the two
\nstats are **mutually exclusive** \u2014 gaining one consumes the other first.<\/p>\n
**You GAIN corruption when you:**
\n| Action | Corruption |
\n|—————————————–|————|
\n| Attack another player (PvP) | +5 |
\n| Kill a villager \/ horse (innocent kill) | +6 |
\n| Slaughter passive mobs | every 5 kills -> +3 |
\n| Kill a non-classified neutral creature | +2 |<\/p>\n
**You GAIN harmony when you:**
\n| Action | Harmony |
\n|—————————————–|———|
\n| Place a block | +1 |
\n| Harvest a crop | +2 |
\n| Kill a hostile (aggressive) mob | +1 |
\n| Trade with a villager | +1 per trade |
\n| Slay the Echo Overlord boss | **+20** |<\/p>\n
**Mutual exclusion:**
\n– When you gain corruption, your existing harmony is **drained first**
\n (down to 0) before your corruption rises. The reverse is also true.
\n– You can no longer “stack” both. The world reads your *current* alignment
\n as a clear identity \u2014 light or shadow.<\/p>\n
**Special rules:**
\n– The **passive-kill streak** punishes industrial farming: cows, sheep,
\n chickens, pigs, foxes, pandas, parrots, fish, etc. give 0 corruption
\n individually, but every 5th passive kill triggers a +3 corruption hit.
\n– Killing a villager OR a horse counts as an **innocent kill** and gives
\n +6 corruption immediately.
\n– Trading is detected via vanilla `TRADED_WITH_VILLAGER`, so it works for
\n ANY trade.<\/p>\n
### 3. Alignment-driven world reactions<\/p>\n
The mod **reacts in real time** to your alignment:<\/p>\n
#### Mobs sense darkness
\n– **Corruption >= 40** -> **Pillagers, all Skeletons, and Creepers** stop
\n targeting you. They recognise a kindred darkness and ignore your
\n presence. *(They’ll still target other players \u2014 only YOU are spared.)*<\/p>\n
#### Villager forgiveness curve
\n– **Corruption >= 40 AND Harmony < 3** -> villagers **refuse to trade**.
\n The interaction is cancelled, a “VILLAGER_NO” sound plays and a refusal
\n message appears: *”The villager recoils, disgusted by your corruption.
\n They refuse to trade.”*
\n– **Harmony >= 3** (even with high corruption) -> villagers **forgive
\n you** and trade normally.
\n– **Harmony >= 35** -> villagers **bless you**: you gain **Hero of the
\n Village III** while near them (vanilla discount effect) and receive
\n **bonus emeralds** dropped at your feet on every trade.<\/p>\n
All four thresholds are configurable.<\/p>\n
### 4. Echo mobs (the ghosts of the world’s actions)<\/p>\n
Echoes are vanilla mobs (zombie \/ stray \/ husk) that have been **massively
\nbuffed and re-skinned at runtime**:<\/p>\n
| Echo type | Base mob | Glow | Trail | Special ability (every ~5s) |
\n|————-|———-|——|———|—————————–|
\n| Miner | Zombie | yes | smoke | inflicts Blindness on target |
\n| Warrior | Stray | yes | soul fire | fires a salvo of 3 slowing arrows |
\n| Death | Husk | yes | soul | applies Wither + Slow II in an aura |<\/p>\n
All echoes get **+100\u2013200% HP**, **+60\u2013140% damage**, fire resistance,
\nknockback resistance and netherite-tier weapons. They are **persistent**
\n(don’t despawn). When they hit you, you briefly suffer **Darkness**.<\/p>\n
**Drops**: 1\u20134 Echo Shards + type-specific bonus (arrows \/ raw iron). The
\n**Death echo** has a 10\u201325% chance to drop an **Echo Heart**. Killing an
\necho grants a short **Absorption** buff and a chat ping.<\/p>\n
### 5. Memory Convergence (cinematic global event)<\/p>\n
When the global hottest chunk passes a configurable danger threshold and a
\ncooldown has elapsed (default ~4 in-game days), the world spawns a
\n**Convergence**:
\n– **Title + subtitle** sent to every player in the dimension.
\n– A short **storm + thunder** in the Overworld.
\n– **3 real lightning bolts** + 2 cosmetic ones at the epicentre.
\n– **Screen-shake** for any player within 96 blocks.
\n– A **boosted trinity** of echoes (tier 2: ~3x HP, ~2x damage) is spawned
\n and targets the players with the most kills\/deaths.
\n– A **rain of Echo Shards** (6 piles, 1\u20133 each) falls at the epicentre.<\/p>\n
`\/echoes convergence` (op) for the global hotspot or
\n`\/echoes convergence here` to test the event at your feet.<\/p>\n
### 6. Echo Overlord \u2014 the Warden boss (apex \/ 100% corruption)<\/p>\n
The world spawns an **Echo Overlord** when **all** of these are true:
\n– Boss spawning enabled (`echoes.bossSpawnEnabled = true`).
\n– A player has reached the corruption requirement
\n (`echoes.echoOverlordCorruptionRequired = 100` by default).
\n– Pressure score (`kills*6 + corruption – harmony – deaths*2`) is >= 140.
\n– Cooldown of one in-game day since the last Echo Overlord.<\/p>\n
The Overlord is a **custom Warden**, not a Wither \u2014 meaning he has the
\nWarden’s native sonic boom, DARKNESS aura, immense durability, and
\nunparalleled threat presence.<\/p>\n
**Three-phase boss bar:**<\/p>\n
| Phase | HP range | Bar color | Bar style | Title |
\n|——-|———-|———–|—————–|——————————–|
\n| 1 | 100\u201350% | BLUE | Smooth progress | **Echo Overlord** |
\n| 2 | 50\u201325% | PURPLE | NOTCHED_6 | **Echo Overlord \u2014 Phase II** |
\n| 3 | 25\u20130% | RED | NOTCHED_10 | **Echo Overlord \u2014 Final Awakening** |<\/p>\n
Bar shown to every player within **80 blocks**, auto-syncs as players
\nenter \/ leave, cleaned up the moment the boss dies \/ despawns \/ leaves.<\/p>\n
**Augmentations:**
\n– **+60% HP**, glowing, Damage Boost \/ Resistance \/ Speed for 30 minutes.
\n– **Phase 1 (>50% HP)**: lightning strike on the current target every 8s.
\n– **Phase 2 (<=50% HP)**: summons a Miner + Warrior trio every 12s, and\n forces DARKNESS on every player within 24 blocks.\n- **Phase 3 (<=25% HP)**: summons a tier-2 trinity every 8s + ring of\n lightning at its feet + extended DARKNESS at 32 blocks.\n\n**Anti-despawn safeguard**: vanilla Wardens have a built-in `Dig`\nbehaviour that calls `entity.discard()` after the animation, even when\n`setPersistenceRequired(true)` is set. The mod constantly refreshes\nthe Warden's `DIG_COOLDOWN` brain memory and cancels any `DIGGING` pose\non the spot, so the boss **never disappears mid-fight**. It also\nre-acquires its target every second within a 96-block radius and forces\nits `ATTACK_TARGET` brain memory, guaranteeing engagement.\n\nWhen killed, it drops:\n- **1 Echo Heart**\n- **1\u20134 Echo Cores** (a special \"memory of the world\" relic)\n- **6\u201312 Echo Shards**\n- + a flurry of soul particles, 6 lightning bolts, the Warden death sound,\n and a global chat announcement.\n\nThe slayer also gets **+20 harmony** and a personal title.\n\n### 7. The Awakening \u2014 boss spawn cinematic\n\nWhen the Echo Overlord materialises, it is **never** a quiet event:\n- **8 lightning bolts in a ring** strike around the spawn point.\n- **120 + 80 SOUL\/SCULK_SOUL particles** burst from the epicentre.\n- The **WARDEN_EMERGE roar plays at volume 4.0** \u2014 every nearby player\n hears it like a horn from the underworld.\n- Thunder is layered on top.\n- Within a 64-block radius, every player gets:\n - **A full-screen title**: \u00a74\u00a7lTHE AWAKENING \u2014 *\"Something ancient is rising...\"*.\n - **30 seconds of DARKNESS**.\n - **A camera shake**.\n\nToggleable with `echoes.bossAwakeningCinematic = false`.\n\n### 8. Boss kills you -> reset alignment<\/p>\n
If the Echo Overlord lands the killing blow on you, your **corruption AND
\nharmony are reset to 0**. Configurable: `echoes.bossResetOnKillPlayer = true`.<\/p>\n
### 9. Daily Adventures \u2014 never the same world twice<\/p>\n
Every in-game Minecraft day, the world picks a random adventure type and
\nmaterialises it 150\u2013400 blocks from a random online player. Coordinates
\nare announced server-wide.<\/p>\n
Five procedural structures:<\/p>\n
| Adventure | Description |
\n|————————|————-|
\n| **Lost Dungeon** | 7x7x4 buried stone-brick room, 4 soul lanterns, 2 random spawners, cobwebs, an epic loot chest (iron, gold, diamonds, emeralds, enchanted golden apples, Echo Shards, chance of Echo Heart, amethyst…). |
\n| **Memory Monolith** | 3×3 obsidian tower, 12 blocks tall, glowstone runes, sea lantern crown, 4 blackstone pylons. Activates with a beacon sound + lightning. |
\n| **Fallen Shrine** | 5×5 polished diorite platform, 4 blackstone pillars with sea lanterns, central gold-block altar, 4 lit candles, cyan carpet. Amethyst chime + END_ROD. |
\n| **Echo Crater** | Hemispherical r=5 crater, magma + obsidian floor, soul fire, wither rose. Explosion sfx + black smoke. |
\n| **Forsaken Village** | 3 ruined cobble houses arranged around a central well. Hay bales scattered. |<\/p>\n
### 10. Living Volcanoes \u2014 Echo Volcanoes<\/p>\n
The world can grow **massive procedural volcanoes** (60\u2013120 blocks tall).
\nSpawn rarely (default ~3% per in-game day, scaled by corruption), behave
\nlike living entities, culminate in controlled eruptions.<\/p>\n
#### Smart generation
\n– Up to **4 volcanoes per dimension** (configurable).
\n– Spawn chance rolled **once per in-game day** (default 30\/1000 = 3%,
\n scaled by corruption multiplier up to ~9% at corruption 100).
\n– Eligible biomes: `IS_MOUNTAIN` and `IS_BADLANDS` tags, **plus** any
\n chunk that has been heavily mined (above `minedZoneThreshold`).
\n– Spawn distance: **200\u2013600 blocks** from a random online player.
\n– Apparition is announced with a lightning bolt, a Warden-spawn-style
\n sound, a chat message and a global title.<\/p>\n
#### Structure
\n– **Outer cone**: basalt \/ smooth basalt \/ blackstone \/ polished
\n blackstone, with a non-linear radius taper (12\u201320 base radius shrinking
\n to 2 at the top).
\n– **Inner core**: magma blocks, blackstone and netherrack mixed in.
\n– **Open lava crater** at the summit, with a magma-block ring underneath.
\n– **Underground magma chamber** (-6 Y) carved as a cave-like cavity
\n filled with lava.
\n– **Central conduit** of empty space connecting chamber -> crater.
\n– All blocks placed with `Block.UPDATE_NONE` to avoid physics chains and
\n keep the build cheap.<\/p>\n
#### Lifecycle (4 phases)
\n– **Dormant** \u2014 silent, occasional smoke puff. Active at pressure >= 20
\n or after ~5 in-game minutes.
\n– **Active** \u2014 continuous smoke, lava bubble particles. Unstable at
\n pressure >= 50 or after ~8 minutes.
\n– **Unstable** \u2014 large smoke columns, flame particles, **light tremors
\n every 4 seconds** for nearby players, deep distant explosion sounds.
\n– **Erupting** \u2014 see below.<\/p>\n
After ~30 seconds of eruption, returns to Dormant and pressure is purged.
\n**Cooldown between two eruptions of the same volcano: 3 in-game days**
\n(default 72 000 ticks) so eruptions remain rare and dramatic.<\/p>\n
#### Pressure system (player-driven)
\n– **Deep mining** (block break at Y < 30) -> +1 pressure on the closest
\n volcano (within 800 blocks).
\n– **Explosions** -> +8 pressure.<\/p>\n
Mining intensively below a known volcano speeds up its eruption.<\/p>\n
#### Eruption mechanics
\n– **Realistic block projection**: every 0.5s for 30s, **4\u20138 modified
\n `FallingBlockEntity`** are launched from the crater with proper
\n ballistic motion. They deal 2.0 damage on impact (cap 4 hp), cannot
\n drop items, land within the configurable eruption radius (150 blocks).
\n Palette: magma, basalt, smooth basalt, blackstone.
\n– **Ambient FX**: heavy lava + flame + large smoke at the crater.
\n– **Eruption announcement**: title + subtitle + chat + sounds.
\n– **No mass destruction outside the volcano zone** \u2014 the eruption never
\n modifies blocks beyond what the falling entities physically land as.<\/p>\n
#### Earthquake (client-side camera shake, 3 intensities)
\nEvery 2 seconds during an eruption, a packet is sent to nearby players,
\ngraded by distance to the epicentre:<\/p>\n
| Distance | Intensity |
\n|————–|———–|
\n| < 25 blocks | **3 \u2014 violent** (yaw\/pitch\/roll up to \u00b10.85) |\n| 25\u201360 blocks | **2 \u2014 medium** (up to \u00b10.45) |\n| 60\u2013130 blocks| **1 \u2014 light** (up to \u00b10.20) |\n| > 130 blocks | none |<\/p>\n
The camera shake **decays linearly** over its duration so the effect
\nfeels like a real seismic wave winding down. **No global server shake**.<\/p>\n
#### Seismic wave (visual “ground rises slightly”)
\n– **16 directions** sampled in a ring around the epicentre, expanding
\n outward up to 40 blocks.
\n– Each surface block becomes a temporary `FallingBlockEntity` with
\n `dropItem = false` and `time = 50` (disappears almost instantly).
\n– The block **pops up ~0.45 Y**, drifts outward, then vanishes \u2014
\n visually identical to “the ground ripples” without ever modifying the
\n world.
\n– Cloud + smoke particles puff at each sample point.
\n– Living entities standing on the ground within the wave radius receive
\n a small vertical impulse (Y +0.18) \u2014 *they “feel” the tremor*.<\/p>\n
**Zero block damage, zero physics cost beyond temporary entities, fully
\ncompatible with faction claims and anti-grief mods.**<\/p>\n
#### Magma Overlord \u2014 the volcano boss<\/p>\n
At the end of an eruption, there is a configurable chance (default 8% at
\ncorruption 0, up to ~24% at full corruption \u2014 gated behind
\n`echoes.bossCorruptionThreshold`) that a **Magma Overlord** emerges from
\nthe crater. This is a **giant custom Magma Cube**:
\n– **Size 8** (vs. the 4 vanilla maximum) \u2014 visually massive.
\n– **220 HP**, **12 attack damage**, permanent Fire Resistance and Glowing.
\n– **Persistent** (won’t despawn).
\n– **Cannot split** on death (the mod cancels `MobSplitEvent`).<\/p>\n
**Three-phase boss bar:**<\/p>\n
| Phase | HP range | Bar color | Bar style | Title |
\n|——-|———-|———–|—————–|—————————–|
\n| 1 | 100\u201350% | YELLOW | Smooth progress | **Magma Overlord** |
\n| 2 | 50\u201325% | RED | NOTCHED_6 | **Magma Overlord \u2014 Phase II** |
\n| 3 | 25\u20130% | DARK_RED | NOTCHED_10 | **Magma Overlord \u2014 Fury** |<\/p>\n
**Phase abilities:**
\n– **Phase 1 (>50%)**: ambient flame aura.
\n– **Phase 2 (<=50%)**: every 3 seconds, every player within 6 blocks is\n ignited (4s on fire) and takes 3 fire damage.\n- **Phase 3 (<=25%)**: every 5 seconds, **6 magma blocks rain** from the\n sky in a 4\u20139 block ring around the boss as falling block entities,\n dealing 2.0 damage on impact.\n\n**Loot on death:**\n- 8\u201316 Magma Cream\n- 2\u20135 Echo Cores\n- 12\u201320 Echo Shards\n- 1 Echo Heart (guaranteed)\n- 1\u20133 Netherite Scrap\n- + a global slayer announcement\n\n### 11. Tri-State Tornadoes \u2014 the deadliest tornado in the world\n\nInspired by the 1925 Tri-State Tornado, the rarest natural event of the\nmod and one of the most dangerous in modded Minecraft.\n\n#### Spawn\n- One tornado per dimension at a time (configurable).\n- Base chance ~1.2% per in-game day at corruption 0, up to ~3.6% at full\n corruption (`echoes.tornadoSpawnChancePerDay = 12`, scaled by the\n corruption multiplier).\n- Spawns 120\u2013320 blocks from a random online player.\n- While active, the level can be forced into thunderstorm\n (`echoes.tornadoForceThunderstorm`).\n- Announced server-wide with a title, subtitle and storm sfx.\n\n#### Track and lifecycle\n- **Long lifetime** (~6.5 IRL minutes by default) with a near-straight\n track \u2014 the tornado walks across the world in a relatively predictable\n direction (like the real Tri-State).\n- Custom three-phase boss bar follows the storm.\n\n#### Realistic vortex physics\n- **Suction**: every entity within the wind radius (default 36 blocks)\n is pulled **toward the tornado's core** with a centripetal force that\n ramps up the further you are from it (so you can't simply walk out at\n the edge \u2014 the storm grabs you).\n- **Lift**: vertical impulse scales with proximity to the eye, so mobs,\n items and falling blocks are progressively launched skyward inside the\n core (default 8-block core radius).\n- **Items** (`ItemEntity`) and **falling blocks** (`FallingBlockEntity`)\n receive an extra 1.6x force multiplier and prolonged airtime \u2014 the\n vortex really fills with debris.\n- **Fall damage** is reset on every entity caught in the storm so the\n mobs don't simply die from being lifted.\n- Configurable intensity (`echoes.tornadoIntensityPercent`, default 100\n = canonical F5) and speed (`echoes.tornadoSpeedPercent`).\n\n#### Block destruction (controlled)\n- Fragile blocks (leaves, plants, wood, glass, etc.) inside the path are\n shattered and converted to inward-flying `FallingBlockEntity` debris,\n pulled toward the core and upward \u2014 instead of being projected away\n from the tornado.\n- **Stone, ore and obsidian are always spared** so your stone bases stay\n safe (`echoes.tornadoDestroyBlocks = true`, but always limited).\n- Faction-friendly: never breaks blocks beyond the funnel envelope.\n\n#### Custom particle visuals (long distance)\n- A custom `echoesoftheworld:echo_cloud` particle is registered with a\n client-side `TextureSheetParticle` that has a translucent persistent\n cloud look, a 1.5\u20133.0 quad size, ~2-second lifetime and graceful fade.\n- Visibility is forced to **long-distance render**, so the funnel is\n visible from far away (vanilla particles cap at 32 blocks).\n- The tornado renders:\n - 16 outer ribbons, 10 inner spiral ribbons (echo_cloud).\n - A mesocyclone crown of flat clouds at the top.\n - A central \"eye\" of darker cloud.\n - Sparse pulses of debris (small explosion + lava drip + smoke) for\n grit.\n- Ambient sounds: continuous low rumble + occasional `BREEZE_WIND_BURST`\n + thunder.\n\n#### Storm Sovereign \u2014 the Breeze tornado boss\n\nWhen a tornado spawns naturally, there is a configurable chance (default\n8% per natural tornado, gated behind `echoes.bossCorruptionThreshold` and\nscaled by corruption multiplier) that a **Storm Sovereign** Breeze boss\nmanifests near the funnel.\n\nThis is a **giant custom Breeze**:\n- **2.6x scale** (via `Attributes.SCALE`) \u2014 visually massive.\n- **280 HP**, **10 attack damage**, full knockback resistance.\n- Permanent Glowing + Damage Resistance.\n- Persistent, with a custom blue boss bar (3 phases: BLUE smooth ->
\n PURPLE NOTCHED_6 -> RED NOTCHED_10).<\/p>\n
**Phase abilities:**
\n– **Phase 1**: lightning strikes on its current target.
\n– **Phase 2**: spawns a **mini-tornado** that tracks the target \u2014
\n smaller, faster, shorter-lived than the natural one, but still deadly.
\n– **Phase 3**: combines aggressive lightning + multiple mini-tornadoes
\n + airborne charge attacks.<\/p>\n
**Loot on death:**
\n– Breeze Rods (vanilla rare drop, guaranteed multiple)
\n– Wind Charges
\n– Echo Shards \/ Echo Cores \/ Echo Heart
\n– + global slayer announcement and Awakening-style flourish.<\/p>\n
#### Tornado \/ Breeze commands (op)
\n– `\/echoes tornado` \u2014 spawns a tornado at the strongest player.
\n– `\/echoes tornado here` \u2014 spawns at your feet.
\n– `\/echoes tornado list` \u2014 lists active tornadoes.
\n– `\/echoes tornado kill` \u2014 kills active tornadoes.
\n– `\/echoes breezeboss` \u2014 spawns a Storm Sovereign at your feet.<\/p>\n
### 12. Ambient atmosphere<\/p>\n
When you walk through a hot chunk:
\n– soul \/ smoke particles around your feet,
\n– **Warden heartbeat** sounds,
\n– random whispers (soul-escape + sculk-place sounds),
\n– a discreet title message.<\/p>\n
Three intensity tiers: 30+, 100+, 200+ score.<\/p>\n
### 13. Adaptive mob intelligence (mobs learn from you)<\/p>\n
Every kill is recorded **per player and per mob species**. The more you
\nfarm a species, the more dangerous that species becomes against you
\nspecifically.<\/p>\n
| Tier | Trigger (kills) | Buffs applied to that mob when it targets YOU |
\n|——|—————–|———————————————————————|
\n| 1 | 5+ | Speed I, Strength I, +15% HP, soul-fire awaken FX |
\n| 2 | 25+ | Speed I, Strength II, Resistance I, +30% HP |
\n| 3 | 100+ | Speed II, Strength II, Resistance II, Regeneration I, +45% HP |
\n| 4 | 500+ | Speed II, Strength III, Resistance II, Regen II, Fire-resist, +60% HP|<\/p>\n
Real-time threat ramp: every 7 real-world days since you first joined
\nthe world adds **+1 effective tier** (capped at 4).<\/p>\n
**Mobs communicate** \u2014 when an adapted hostile spots you, it calls help
\nin 8\u201314 blocks depending on tier, with a sonic-charge cue and a hotbar
\nwarning.<\/p>\n
### 14. Alignment HUD overlay<\/p>\n
Every alignment change pops a small toast in the top-right corner:
\n– **+N Corruption** (red) \u2014 PvP, innocent kill, passive streak hit.
\n– **+N Harmony** (green) \u2014 block place, harvest, hostile kill, trade,
\n boss slaying.<\/p>\n
Toasts fade in\/out (~3 s), stack up to 5 lines, drift up subtly, with
\na translucent background.<\/p>\n
