Shifting Doom Block

Quickstart

1. Just play in your world as normal — no crafting or items are needed to trigger this mod.
2. Every three minutes, one block type in the world becomes marked as the "doom block."
3. Watch chat/messages for a warning telling you which block is currently deadly.
4. Avoid touching that block type until the timer rolls over and a new block is chosen.
5. If you touch (or stand near/inside) the current doom block, you die instantly — so pay attention!

Overview

Shifting Doom Block turns ordinary terrain into a survival puzzle. On a recurring timer, the mod randomly selects one block type from the world and marks it as instantly lethal. Any player who comes into contact with that block type while it's "active" is killed. After the timer expires, a different block becomes the new threat, keeping players constantly re-evaluating what's safe to stand on, mine, or walk near.

There is no new block, item, or crafting recipe added by this mod — instead, it changes the danger level of existing vanilla blocks on a rotating basis.

What It Adds

• A recurring event (roughly every three minutes) that designates a random existing block type as deadly.
• An in-game announcement/warning identifying the current doom block so players know what to avoid.
• Instant death for any player who touches the currently marked block.

How To Use

• No setup is required — the doom block rotation starts automatically once you're in the world.
• Pay attention to on-screen or chat messages announcing which block is currently dangerous.
• Avoid walking on, mining, placing hands near, or otherwise contacting the announced block while it is active.
• Keep track of the timer mentally — every few minutes the dangerous block changes, so a block that was safe a moment ago could become deadly, and vice versa.
• This works well in survival worlds, minigames, or as a fun added challenge layered on top of normal building and exploring.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Rotating Threat: Every three minutes, the mod picks a new block type at random to be the current "doom block."
• Instant Death: Touching the active doom block kills the player immediately — there is no damage ramp-up or warning at the moment of contact, only the periodic announcement of which block is currently lethal.
• Global Effect: The doom block designation is world-wide — the same block type is dangerous everywhere it appears on the map, not just in one location.
• Constant Vigilance: Since ordinary and common blocks can become deadly, players need to stay alert and re-check which block is currently active rather than assuming a block is always safe.

Progression And Strategy

• Treat the announcement of the new doom block as an urgent piece of information — stop mining, moving, or building near suspect blocks until you confirm what's safe.
• Since the doom block can be a common building or terrain block, plan builds and mining paths with the rotation in mind, or be ready to reroute quickly.
• This mod works well as an added-challenge layer for survival worlds, races, or minigames where players must adapt to a constantly shifting hazard.
• Communicate with other players in multiplayer worlds about the current doom block, since a moment of inattention can be fatal.
