Better bell

Bells come in three tiers, with each tier able to be heard over a wider radius: tier 1 reaches 160 blocks, tier 2 reaches 320 blocks and tier 3 reaches 480 blocks. Bell variants change the tone, and the sound plays in the voices category so volume can be set in the options. Eight sizes and three materials are available, with iron and copper clappers, plus several metal and waxed finishes. Everything is craftable in survival.

Rings can be timed to the day. A bell can ring at 6 am, 12 am or 6:30 pm to wake villagers or mark lunch time, and a sleeping-time setting covers the night. The clocker is customisable, with a choice of which hours ring and a variant that rings three times per hour. A Tocsin clocker variant lets the owner choose what danger rings the bells, and the mod is compatible with Burnt + Additions. Better Vanilla Fire adds a fire alarm that spreads a warning radius of 50 blocks, and a curfew setting rings at least six times.
