Azurewood Forest

Quickstart

1. Craft an Azurewood Charm from lapis lazuli, an amethyst shard, and blue dye.

1. Use the charm to begin an Azurewood Hunt. In Survival, the charm is consumed when the hunt starts.
2. Defeat the five blue Azure Creepers that appear around you. You have five minutes to finish.
3. Alternatively, craft and place an Azurewood Shrine, then use the shrine to start a hunt without consuming the shrine.

1. Check your progress with /azurewood status.

Overview

Azurewood Forest is a timed combat challenge. Activate a charm or shrine to summon five Azure Creepers near you, then defeat them before the five-minute timer expires.

Each hunt is tracked separately for the player who starts it. Completing the hunt rewards experience, an Azurewood Heart, and Azurewood Logs. You can activate the challenge again after completing or resetting it.

What It Adds

How To Use

Starting a Hunt With a Charm

Hold an Azurewood Charm and use it. If no hunt is active for you, five Azure Creepers appear around your position and the five-minute timer begins.

Using a charm while a hunt is already active does not start another hunt.

Starting a Hunt With a Shrine

Craft the Azurewood Shrine and place it like a normal block. Use the placed shrine to start a hunt. The shrine remains in place and can be reused for future hunts.

A shrine can be activated wherever it is placed; it does not require a particular biome or structure.

Defeating the Azure Creepers

The five hunt creatures appear close to the player who activated the challenge. Defeat all five before the timer reaches zero.

The creepers summoned for a hunt are linked to the player who started it. If another player helps defeat one, the kill still advances the owner's hunt.

Checking Progress

Use:

/azurewood status

During an active hunt, the status display shows your defeated-creeper count out of five and the remaining time in seconds. When no hunt is active, it tells you to start one with a charm, shrine, or command.

Crafting And Obtaining

Azurewood Charm

The charm is crafted shapelessly from:

• 1 lapis lazuli
• 1 amethyst shard
• 1 blue dye

Azurewood Shrine

The shrine requires:

• 4 lapis lazuli
• 4 amethyst shards
• 1 Azurewood Charm

Azurewood Logs

A completed hunt awards eight Azurewood Logs. The logs can be placed as decorative wood blocks and drop themselves when successfully broken.

Azurewood Heart

The Azurewood Heart is awarded when all five hunt creepers are defeated.

Azure Creeper Spawn Egg

The spawn egg can be used like other spawn eggs to create an Azure Creeper. These manually spawned creepers are not marked as part of a hunt and do not advance hunt progress.

For command-based testing, use:

/give @s azurewood-forest-pdwhxsks:azure_creeper_spawn_egg

Abilities And Mechanics

• Each hunt summons exactly five Azure Creepers.
• The hunt lasts five minutes.
• An active hunt cannot be started again until it is completed or reset.
• Completing the fifth kill ends the hunt immediately.
• A successful completion awards:
  • 20 experience points
  • 1 Azurewood Heart
  • 8 Azurewood Logs
  • 1 Azurewood win recorded on the hunt scoreboard
• The Azurewood Wins score is displayed on the sidebar after starting a hunt.
• If time expires, the hunt ends and its progress is cleared.
• Azure Creepers have 24 health, making them tougher than ordinary creepers.
• A shrine can be reused for as many hunts as you want.

Commands

Resetting a hunt does not erase your completed-win total. After a reset or timeout, activate another charm or shrine to replay the challenge.

Progression And Strategy

• Prepare an open, well-lit combat area before activating a hunt.
• Keep an eye on the status display so you do not lose track of the five-minute limit.
• Fight near your base or another safe area, since the creepers appear close to the activation point.
• A shrine is a useful permanent challenge station because it can start repeated hunts without requiring a new shrine each time.
• Use /azurewood start for a quick replay when you already have access to commands.
• Spawn eggs are useful for seeing the Azure Creeper outside a hunt, but only the five creepers created by an active hunt contribute to completion.
