Melty Bastion

Quickstart

1. Open your inventory in Creative Mode and grab the Structure Wand (found in the mod's Creative tab).
2. Look in the direction you want the bastion to face, then right-click with the Structure Wand.
3. A glowing projectile launches forward. Where it lands, the Melty Bastion assembles itself with a particle animation.
4. Stand back and enjoy the show — the structure materialises over a couple of seconds with enchantment-particle effects.

Alternatively, use the client command /structure build melty_bastion while standing where you want the origin placed.

Overview

Melty Bastion adds a single dramatic, hand-crafted structure to your world: a heat-warped fortress ruin. The bastion's sagging battlements, slumped towers, and glowing molten channels are rendered entirely from custom-coloured voxel blocks, allowing the structure to display the full range of colours needed for its scorched-stone and molten aesthetic. You place it on demand using the Structure Wand item.

What It Adds

How To Use

Structure Wand

• Obtain the Structure Wand from the Melty Bastion Creative tab.
• Right-click to fire a projectile in the direction you are facing.
• The projectile travels like a thrown item and places the bastion where it hits a surface.
• After firing there is a 3-second cooldown before you can fire again.
• The wand automatically scales the structure to fit within roughly 128 blocks so it never appears unexpectedly tiny or enormous.
• A chime sound plays on impact; witch-magic particles trail the projectile and burst outward at the landing point.

Commands

The only structure name currently available is melty_bastion.

Abilities And Mechanics

Placement Animation

When the bastion is triggered (either by the wand or a command), a short cinematic plays:

1. Block-display entities representing each voxel fly in from around the site.
2. Enchantment particles spiral inward for roughly three seconds.
3. The display entities vanish and the real Colored Voxel blocks snap into place.
4. A final particle burst marks the completion.

Colored Voxels

The structure is built from Colored Voxel blocks. Each block stores its own RGB colour, which is applied as a tint when rendered. This lets the single block type represent the full palette of the bastion — grey stone, rusted metal, glowing orange molten rock, scorched black surfaces, and more. The blocks behave like stone (hardness 1.5, stone sounds) and can be broken and moved normally in Creative Mode.

Facing

The bastion orients itself to match the horizontal direction you are looking when you fire or run the command, so you can control which way the entrance and keep face.

Progression And Strategy

Because this is a Creative Mode structure mod, there is no survival progression gating. Suggested uses:

• Landmark placement — fire the wand from a distance to drop the bastion into a valley or on a hillside, then landscape around it.
• Size control — use /structure build melty_bastion <size> to dial in the footprint; smaller values (e.g. 32) produce a compact ruin, while the default (128) gives the full imposing fortress.
• Orientation — walk a full circle around your target site and fire from the direction that will put the main gate facing a road or entrance path.
• Layering — place multiple copies at different scales and slight offsets to create a sprawling ruined complex.
