Ephemeral Wither Skulls
Limit the existence time of Wither Skull to 6 seconds.
About this Mod
About This Mod:
- When the Wither works for players, it may leave Wither Skulls in unloaded chunks. Excessive accumulation of these skulls can cause lag, unresponsiveness, or even crashes when reloading those chunks.
- This mod limits the existence time of Wither Skulls to 6 seconds (without affecting normal Wither battles).
- If your world is already polluted with excessive Wither Skulls, loading this mod will remove them when loading previously saved chunks.
- During testing:
- ~5,000 skulls were removed instantly
- ~30,000 skulls took about 4 minutes to remove completely
- Removal speed scales with quantity (Tested on i7-9700 CPU)
- During testing:
- Note: After installing this mod, you can no longer summon Wither Skulls using commands.
- This mod can be added to modpacks.
Compatibility:
- Built for 1.20.1, but should theoretically work on all versions above 1.18.
