User request: Tesla coil. Placeable block entity, 4 blocks tall, 1.5 blocks wide at base. Classic cylindrical coil design with electrical discharge mechanics. Base platform: Circular platform, 1.5 blocks diameter, 0.25 blocks tall. Copper/orange metallic color (#B87333). Three thick concentric copper coil rings wrapped around base. Each ring is 4-5 voxels thick, raised 2-3 voxels above platform surface. Rings are evenly spaced (inner ring 0.5 blocks diameter, middle ring 0.9 blocks diameter, outer ring 1.3 blocks diameter). Coils have wrapped/wound appearance with visible segments. Primary coil cylinder: Tall smooth cylinder, 3 blocks tall, 0.8 blocks diameter. Deep metallic red color (#8B0000) with reflective sheen texture. Cylinder sits centered on base platform directly above coil rings. Perfectly smooth sides with no texture breaks. Slight highlight/shine on one side to show metallic surface. Secondary coil (toroid top): Sits centered on top of primary cylinder. Donut/torus shape, 1.2 blocks outer diameter, 0.4 blocks inner hole diameter, 0.5 blocks tall. Metallic silver/chrome color (#C0C0C0) with high reflective sheen. Toroid has 10-12 horizontal segment bands wrapped around (groove lines visible between segments). Very shiny appearance. Functionality - Electrical discharge system: When placed, tesla coil is always active (no redstone needed). Continuously scans for targets and lightning rods within 20 block radius every tick. Lightning rod detection (priority behavior): If vanilla Minecraft lightning rod exists within 20 blocks, tesla coil enters "grounded mode". Shoots continuous wild electrical arc particles from toroid top directly to nearest lightning rod. Electrical arc is bright blue-white branching particles that spawn every 0.1 seconds along path from toroid to rod. Arc has random branch-off particles (side bolts that split off randomly, 2-5 voxels long). Plays constant loud electrical crackling/buzzing sound loop. While grounded to lightning rod, tesla coil deals NO damage to any entities - it is completely safe. Arc particles are purely visual when connected to lightning rod. Kill mode (when no lightning rod present): If NO lightning rod exists within 20 blocks, tesla coil enters "lethal mode". Scans for nearest living entity (mob, player, animal) within 20 block radius. Shoots direct lightning bolt particles from toroid top to target entity. Lightning particles are bright blue-white with purple tint, straight beam with minor random wiggle (not branching). Beam spawns every tick (continuous connection). Targeted entity takes 100 damage per second (instant kill for most mobs, kills player in 0.2 seconds). Can target up to 3 entities simultaneously - each gets separate lightning beam. Plays loud continuous electrical ZAP sound (higher pitched than grounded mode). Particle specifications: Grounded mode particles: Branching wild arcs, bright blue (#00FFFF) with white core, random side bolts, chaotic movement, 15-20 particles per burst, spawns every 0.1 seconds. Kill mode particles: Straight beam, blue-white (#FFFFFF with blue tint), slight sinusoidal wiggle (±2 voxels side to side), continuous stream, 30 particles per second per target. Idle mode (no targets, no lightning rod): Small random electrical sparks around toroid (5-8 blue-white particles every 0.5 seconds), quiet crackling sound. Targeting priority: Lightning rod (if present within 20 blocks, connect and become safe) Players (if no rod, target nearest player first) Hostile mobs (if no rod or players) Passive mobs (if no other targets) Visual indicators: Toroid glows brighter when actively discharging (add bright white glow particles around toroid edge). Primary coil has faint red glow when active. Base coils have subtle orange spark particles occasionally. No GUI, no right-click interaction. Tesla coil is always-on functional block. Only way to make it safe is placing lightning rod nearby. Range: Exactly 20 blocks (measured from coil center to target/lightning rod). No damage falloff - instant kill within range, nothing beyond range. Colors: Copper/orange base (#B87333), deep metallic red cylinder (#8B0000), chrome silver toroid (#C0C0C0). Lightning particles bright blue-white (#00FFFF to #FFFFFF). Glow effects white/blue. Edit v2: make it so it has a radius of 40 blocks, and also has random electrical particles flying around when there is nothing to aim for Edit v3: ensure the centre point of the tesla coil is at the top middle of the model. also, make it so it doesnt target players only mobs Edit v4: Edit the Tesla Coil mod so that all particle effects, electrical arcs, targeting rays, and lightning visuals originate exactly from the true top-center of the 16-block-tall coil structure (the toroid), not from an assumed or hard-coded offset. Recalculate the emission origin using the actual multiblock structure bounds and the block entity’s real placement offset, so the visual source aligns perfectly with the physical top of the model. Ensure Grounded Mode arcs, Kill Mode lightning, scanning rays, and idle drifting particles all use this corrected top-center position, with no positional drift or block-offset error.
