Description
The ability creates a destructive combat area, so activate it in a location where clearing blocks and damaging nearby players will not cause problems.
Domain Expansion (Malevolent Shrine) is a sword and domain ability. When activated, it creates an 81-block-wide circular nether wart platform and builds a macabre crimson shrine at its center.
While the domain is active:
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Crimson Shrine Blade | A single-stack sword with 4 attack damage and 500 durability |
| Malevolent Shrine platform | A circular nether wart platform with a radius of 40 blocks |
| Shrine structure | A red-and-white shrine with a torii gate, roof, candles, bone blocks, and skeleton skulls |
| Owner buffs | Continuously refreshed Resistance II and Strength V while the domain is active |
| Domain damage | Mobs and players inside the platform area take 5 damage every game tick, except the activator |
| Sword-slash effects | Random explosive-looking slash bursts appear around the shrine |
Use the blade while holding it. The platform is centered on your position, one block below your feet. The area above the platform is cleared up to 50 blocks high, so existing terrain and structures in the circle may be removed.
The shrine appears after approximately 5 seconds. Entities near the shrine may be moved toward the outer part of the platform to make room for the structure.
The damage area covers the circular platform and the space up to 50 blocks above it. Every mob and player in this area is damaged repeatedly, except the player who activated the shrine.
The activator is protected from the domain’s damage and gains:
These effects are refreshed while the platform remains active and the activator is in the same dimension.
Once the shrine has formed, one to three visible sword-slash bursts appear at random locations around the domain every fraction of a second. These effects mark the shrine’s attack zone; the continuous damage comes from being inside the domain.
A domain normally lasts for 60 seconds. It also ends early if:
When the domain ends, the shrine structure and its original platform blocks are removed.
Craft the blade at a crafting table:


The recipe requires:
The finished item is a sword, can be enchanted as a sword, and does not stack.
After a successful activation, the blade has a 5-minute cooldown. Trying to use it during this time displays the remaining cooldown on the action bar.
Each player can successfully activate the domain up to three times within a 20-minute period. The limit is tracked separately for each player.
The fourth activation attempt during the same 20-minute period is rejected, even if the normal cooldown from the third activation has ended.
When rejected, the activator:
Further attempts during this rejection cooldown only display the remaining cooldown. The successful-activation limit resets after the 20-minute usage window expires.
