Anti-Movement Veil

Quickstart

1. Craft the Anti-Movement Veil at a crafting table using the recipe below.
2. Hold the item in your hotbar or hand.
3. Press the use/interact button to activate it.
4. A hollow black stained-glass dome appears around your current position.
5. Try teleporting across the dome’s boundary. Entities that cross the boundary are returned to a saved position.

The dome lasts for 2 minutes. The item has a 5-minute cooldown per player; attempting to use it during cooldown displays the remaining time.

Overview

The Anti-Movement Veil creates a temporary shadow dome that prevents entities from teleporting through its boundary. The dome is centered on the player who activates the item and is created in that player’s current dimension.

The dome:

• Has a radius of 50 blocks.
• Uses a two-block-thick shell of black stained glass.
• Is hollow inside.
• Protects its shell from player breaking.
• Periodically repairs its shell while active.
• Restores blocks that occupied the shell before activation when it ends.

Smoke particles around the activating player indicate that the veil is active.

What It Adds

Anti-Movement Veil

The Anti-Movement Veil is a single-use activation item with a maximum stack size of one. Using it creates the shadow dome immediately at the player’s location.

While the dome is active, teleportation across its boundary is reversed. This can affect players, mobs, and other entities.

How To Use

Activate the dome

Hold the Anti-Movement Veil and press the use/interact button. The dome is centered on your position at the moment of activation.

The dome remains active for 2 minutes unless its owner dies first. When the owner dies, the dome is removed immediately.

Stop teleportation

Teleportation is blocked when an entity crosses between the inside and outside of the dome. An entity attempting to leave is returned to its saved position. An entity attempting to enter from outside is also returned to its previous or saved position.

Saved positions are taken when the dome is created. Entities that were already loaded at that time can be returned to their positions and dimensions from activation.

During the cooldown

The Anti-Movement Veil cannot be activated again by the same player for 5 minutes after use. If you try to use it early, an action-bar message shows the remaining cooldown.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft the Anti-Movement Veil at a crafting table:

The recipe uses obsidian, black dye, and an ender pearl.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Large containment area: The dome extends 50 blocks from its center in every direction.
• Hollow shell: The interior remains open for players, mobs, and builds.
• Temporary block replacement: Blocks occupying the dome’s shell are replaced by black stained glass while the dome is active.
• Block restoration: When the dome expires or is removed, the blocks in the shell are restored to their previous state.
• Shell protection: Players cannot directly break blocks in the active shell.
• Automatic repair: Damage from other sources is repaired periodically while the dome remains active.
• Dimension-aware returns: An entity teleported out of the dome can be returned to its saved position, including in another dimension.
• Owner-linked lifetime: The dome belongs to its activating player and ends when that player dies.

Progression And Strategy

Use the Anti-Movement Veil to secure an area before an enemy or mob can escape by teleporting. Activate it near the center of the location you want to contain, then keep important targets inside the 50-block radius.

For best results:

• Activate the veil before attempting to trap a teleport-capable enemy.
• Stay aware of the dome’s black stained-glass boundary.
• Keep targets away from the edge so ordinary movement does not put them near the containment limit.
• Use the two-minute active period to defeat, capture, or relocate targets.
• Carry the item in advance, since the five-minute cooldown prevents rapid reactivation.
