Corrosylva

Corrosylva is a progression-focused Minecraft mod centered around industrial corruption, environmental hazards, gated research, and large-scale machinery. Advancement is controlled through research systems, protected structures, and powerful but risky tools.

✦ World & Materials

🌳 Corroded Wood

Corrosylva introduces a new wood type:

• Corroded Wood
  • Includes Corroded Planks and related blocks
  • Integrated into industrial and corrupted build sets

☣ Polluted & Corroded Blocks

Several blocks introduced by Corrosylva are polluted or corroded and can spread over time.

• Spreading behavior is visible when increasing randomTickSpeed (recommended ~100–400)
• High values may cause performance issues depending on simulation distance
• These blocks transform nearby compatible blocks into polluted or corroded variants

☣ Smog Storms

Around every 10-30 minutes or more, a smog storm will begin. The player will begin to take damage every 10 seconds and be inflicted with mining fatigue, naseua and poison. You can hide in a shelter or underground to be safe from the storm. Storms last around 2-4 minutes. Particles will decrease visibility when you are outdoors.

✦ Research & Progression

📘 Innovation Codex

Players begin the game with the Innovation Codex, which governs research progression.

• Right-click in main hand to open a research tree menu
• Research nodes require:
  • Research Points
  • Occasionally additional item costs
  • Completing research nodes may:
    • Unlock recipes
    • Reward items directly
  • The system functions but may require patience due to minor instability

🧩 Research Shards

Research Points are obtained via Research Shards, found through:

• Looting certain structures
• Fishing
• Rare drops from creepers

Behavior:

• Shards vanish one at a time upon entering inventory
• Points are stored as a persistent, per-player stat
• Current total can be viewed in the Innovation Codex

📖 Item Info Book

Players also receive an Item Info Book at game start.

• Right-click to open
• Contains a single item slot
• Displays information about the inserted item

✦ Industrial Machinery

⛏ Tunneler

The Tunneler is a progression-locked mining machine designed for deep excavation.

Unlocking

• The crafting recipe is not known by default
• Requires obtaining a Tunneler Manuscript
• Manuscript is earned through Innovation Codex research

Power System

• Requires 1–4 Battery Blocks placed adjacent (not above or below)
• Battery Blocks:
  • Charged by right-clicking with a Power Core
  • Maximum charge level: 10

Operation

• Shift + right-click with an empty main hand to activate
• The Tunneler:
  • Moves downward
  • Mines:
    • 2 blocks outward horizontally
    • 1 block upward and downward
    • Destroys all blocks except:
      • Battery Blocks (which move with it)
      • Indestructible blocks (e.g., bedrock)

Energy Use

• Each downward movement consumes 1 battery charge

Storage

• Broken blocks are stored internally
• Inventory size equals a chest
• Opening the inventory disables the Tunneler

✦ Security & Automation

🛡 Factory Defender

The Factory Defender protects industrial structures.

• Prevents specific blocks from being broken while active
• Protected blocks include:
  • Tunneler, Battery Blocks
  • Industrial lights, sensors, wiring
  • Redstone components
  • Industrial concrete, terracotta, alloy blocks
  • Corroded Planks and other structural elements
  • The Factory Defender:
    • Cannot be obtained in survival
    • Drops gold and redstone, not itself
  • Breaking the Factory Defender removes all protection

👁 Motion Sensor

• Detects entities entering its range
• Detection range extends 3 blocks outward based on facing direction
• Emits a redstone signal strength of 15 from its output side

🚨 Warning Light

• Emits a repeating warning siren when powered
• Intended for alarms and industrial alerts

💡 Industrial LED Lights

• Can be powered or toggled via right-click
• Adjacent lights automatically link together
• Turning one on or off affects all connected lights

✦ Environmental Hazards

☠ Scorvetch

• Applies the Polluted effect to entities
• Effect:
  • Deals periodic damage (similar to Wither)
  • Drains hunger faster
  • Penetrates armor

🌱 Toxic Sand

• May grow Toxic Ferns
• Toxic Ferns poison entities that walk into them

💣 Industry TNT

When ignited:

• Converts all blocks within 20 blocks into polluted or corroded variants
• May ignite dirt blocks
• Applies Industrial Fire to all entities in range

Industrial Fire:

• Cannot be extinguished with water
• Requires Purified Water

🚰 Purified Water

• Created by smelting a water bottle in a furnace
• Used to extinguish Industrial Fire

✦ Weapons & Tools

⚔ Burst Sword

• Right-click to dash forward several blocks
• Has a cooldown between uses

⚡ Charged Burst Sword

• Upgraded version of the Burst Sword
• Damages entities passed through during a dash

🪓 Charged Alloy Axe

• While sneaking, breaking a log:
  • Destroys all connected logs and leaves (tree-felling behavior)
  • Consumes additional durability proportional to blocks destroyed

✦ Dimension Progression

🔥 Nether Lock

• The Nether is inaccessible by default
• Players must obtain a Nether Key
• Right-clicking with the key unlocks Nether access

📦 Version

• Current Version: 1.0.0

🚧 Development Notes

Some systems—particularly research—may exhibit minor bugs but remain functional. Corrosylva is designed for continued expansion into deeper industrial gameplay, environmental corruption, and progression-based mechanics.
