Simple Domain

Quickstart

1. Craft the Simple Domain at a crafting table.

1. Hold the item in your hand and use it.
2. A soul-forged sculk ring appears around your position. Remain at the activation point to receive its protection.
3. Try taking knockback while the ward is active—the ward returns you to its center.
4. To end the ward early, use any other item or move away from the activation point.

The item is unstackable. After activating it, you must wait 2 minutes before using it again. If you try to use it during the cooldown, the remaining time appears on your action bar.

Overview

Simple Domain creates a temporary stand-your-ground ward centered on your position when you use it. The ward is shown by a ring of sculk soul particles approximately 3 blocks from its center.

While active, the ward:

• Keeps you anchored to the activation point.
• Returns you to the center when incoming damage causes knockback.
• Grants a high level of Resistance while you remain in the ward.
• Ends if you move too far from the center, use another item, change dimensions, or leave the world.

What It Adds

The mod adds one item:

Simple Domain appears in the Equipment section of the Creative inventory and can also be used as a short-duration furnace fuel.

How To Use

Activating the Ward

Hold Simple Domain and use it. The ward is centered on your exact position at activation, so choose a safe location before using it.

The particle ring is a visual boundary. You must remain almost completely still at the center rather than walking around inside the ring.

Staying Protected

While the ward is active, the mod continuously refreshes your Resistance effect. If an attack or other damage would push you away, you are returned to the ward's center.

The ward does not prevent you from taking all damage, so it works best when combined with armor, cover, or other defensive measures.

Ending the Ward

The ward ends immediately when you:

• Move more than approximately 0.12 blocks from its center.
• Use an item other than Simple Domain.
• Land a melee attack on an entity.
• Change dimensions.
• Leave the world.

Simply switching items does not end the ward by itself; using the selected item does.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft Simple Domain at a crafting table using sculk, an echo shard, soul sand, and a diamond.

You can also obtain it from the Creative inventory's Equipment category.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Fixed center: The ward remains at the position where it was activated.
• Sculk soul ring: A particle ring marks the ward's approximately 3-block radius.
• Knockback protection: Damage that would knock you away causes you to snap back to the center.
• Resistance: A high Resistance effect is continuously maintained while the ward is active. Its effect particles are hidden.
• Cooldown: A successful use starts a 2-minute cooldown. The cooldown applies even if you use the item again to end an active ward after the cooldown has expired.
• One-item control: Using another item cancels the ward, allowing normal movement and item use again.

Progression And Strategy

• Gather the ingredients before entering a fight so the ward is ready when needed.
• Activate it before an enemy can launch you from a ledge or interrupt a defensive position.
• Use it in narrow spaces, near objectives, or at a prepared combat position where standing still is practical.
• Keep your hands free for the ward while it is active; using food, tools, weapons, or other items cancels the protection.
• Do not activate it while moving. Stop first, then use the item so the center is placed exactly where you want to stand.
• Plan around the cooldown, since a second activation may not be available for 2 minutes.
