Doom Moon Ray

Quickstart

1. Craft the Doom Ray first — it is the base ingredient for all other rays. See the recipe below.
2. Hold the Doom Ray in your hand, aim where you want the disaster to strike, and tap Use / right-click.
3. Watch the action-bar for feedback confirming the event has started.
4. Once you have the Doom Ray, craft any of the three advanced rays (each uses the Doom Ray as a core component).

Overview

Doom Moon Ray adds four hand-held catastrophe devices — the Doom Ray, Plasma Sun Ray, BlackHole Ray, and ThunderStorm Ray. All four are craftable in survival from late-game materials and found in the Equipment tab of your inventory. Each one is a single-stack item you aim and activate to trigger a persistent, world-altering event with unique visuals, sounds, and terrain effects. No commands needed.

What It Adds

How To Use

• Hold any ray item and Use it (right-click on Java-style controls, or tap the Use button on touch/controller).
• The ray fires toward the location roughly 48 blocks in front of you at the moment of activation.
• A confirmation message appears in your chat and the event begins immediately.
• Each ray has a 30-second cooldown after activation before you can fire it again.
• Effects are persistent — they continue ticking on their own after you fire. Be ready for serious terrain and mob damage around the target area.

Crafting And Obtaining

All rays are crafted at a Crafting Table. The Doom Ray unlocks first; the other three each require a Doom Ray as their central ingredient.

Abilities And Mechanics

Doom Ray

• On activation, the daylight cycle stops and time rapidly advances toward midnight.
• Once midnight is reached, a massive purple beam descends on the target point with dragon-breath particles and spinning smoke rings.
• Every 20 ticks the beam carves a bounded crater — it stops eating blocks once the crater reaches its limit, so it will not hollow out the world infinitely.
• After the crater phase ends, a destructive magma-meteor storm rains down on the area.
• Looping doom music plays throughout. An action-bar message announces when the beam stabilizes and stops.

Plasma Sun Ray

• Locks time to noon and freezes the daylight cycle.
• Continuously converts nearby ground blocks to netherrack and ignites fires in the area.
• Non-player mobs in range catch fire and burn.
• The effect persists and spreads outward from the target anchor as long as the session runs.

BlackHole Ray

• Spawns a sky singularity above the target, visualised with portal and dragon-breath particles.
• Steadily pulls nearby mobs upward toward the singularity.
• Destroys blocks in the vicinity as the gravitational pull intensifies over time.
• The singularity runs indefinitely — there is no automatic end to its session.

ThunderStorm Ray

• Forces an effectively endless thunderstorm over the entire dimension.
• Generates powerful wind gusts that knock players and mobs back.
• Each cycle delivers four destructive lightning strikes that can destroy blocks at the target area.
• Thunder music loops as long as the storm is active.

Progression And Strategy

• The Doom Ray is your entry point — gather a Nether Star, Eyes of Ender, Obsidian, a Blaze Rod, and a Diamond to craft it.
• Treat it as a true late-game item: you need Nether access (Blaze Rods, Nether Star from the Wither) and End access (Eyes of Ender) before you can begin.
• The three advanced rays each consume one Doom Ray plus additional materials, so plan to craft multiple Doom Rays if you want the full toolkit.
• Fire rays away from your base. Crater carving, netherrack conversion, block-destroying lightning, and singularity demolition are all permanent terrain changes.
• The Plasma Sun Ray is effective for clearing hostile mob farms — its area ignition burns mobs without putting you at risk.
• The BlackHole Ray is the most unpredictable; activate it at a safe distance and watch the pull radius expand before approaching.
• If you want to restart the daylight cycle after using the Doom Ray or Plasma Sun Ray, you will need to manually re-enable it with the /gamerule doDaylightCycle true command.
