The Breaking Sun

by bingybing7

The Breaking Sun is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that makes sunlight burn players and other entities, with a game rule to switch the sun damage off.

ForgeServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

Players standing in daylight take burn damage from the sun, and the damage can be turned off by changing a game rule. The mod is based on the SCP-001 entry from the SCP Foundation wiki, and it adds new entities resembling the blob-like creatures of that original entry. Items, blocks and a potion effect are also added, so the sun works as a threat that players can plan around in survival or adventure maps.

The mod is server-side only, so only the server needs to run it and players join without installing anything. It is published for Forge and the 1.20.1 game version only. It was built with MCreator, which the author chose for simplicity, and the author reports that it does not cause much lag. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved, so redistribution and derivative works are not granted by default.

Key features

  1. Sunlight burns players

    Players exposed to daylight burn and take damage, which turns the sun into a hazard during the day.

  2. Sun damage game rule

    A game rule toggles sun damage, so server owners can switch the burning effect on or off without changing files.

  3. SCP-001 inspired entities

    New entities modeled on the blob-like creatures of the SCP-001 entry are added alongside the sun effect.

  4. Items, blocks and a potion effect

    The mod adds new items, blocks and a potion effect that connect to the daylight theme.

Questions

What the author says

The Breaking Sun (previously 'When Day breaks // Burn in sunlight') is an increadibly simple mod, if you are in the sun's proximity when its day you will burn alive. It is based of the SCP entry 'SCP-001; When Day Breaks', however you could use it for all kinds of stuff! This mod does not add any new items, entities…
