Soul Flame Denfense
Soul Flame Denfense turns Soul Campfires into defensive beacons that apply configurable status effects to hostile mobs within range.
What it does
A Soul Campfire keeps its vanilla light role and also works as a defensive beacon. Once placed, it applies chosen status effects to nearby hostile mobs, so a base can be guarded without extra turrets or traps. The effects, their amplifier and duration, the detection radius and the list of affected mobs are all set in configuration files, and the campfire registry is saved, so existing Soul Campfires keep working after the world or server restarts.
The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It works in single-player and multiplayer, supports Minecraft dimensions, and is built for Minecraft Forge 1.20.1. Files are published for Forge across six game versions, 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, and the code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
