Description

I wanted to make mountains grow. Most structure mods just paste a building into the world instantly. I wanted something more dynamic—a mod that lets you watch a massive volcano rise out of the flat ground in real-time.

How it works

It’s a mix of terrain deformation and a chaotic event.

  • It Grows: When you start the event, the ground actually rises. It pulls the terrain up to 100 blocks high, converting the dirt and stone into jagged Basalt as it goes.
  • The Eruption: Once it hits peak height, the crater fills with lava and starts spewing smoke and particles.
  • Volcanic Bombs: It shoots magma projectiles into the sky.

The "Smart" Destruction

I spent some time tuning the destruction logic because I didn't want the volcano to blow itself up immediately.

  • Near the Crater: Explosions here are visual-only. This keeps the volcano looking cool and pointy.
  • Further Away: The projectiles cause real damage and set fires. It creates a nice zone of chaos around the base without ruining the mountain itself.

How to use it

Right now, it's trigger-based (great for admins or people who just want to see the world burn).

  1. Find a big open space (seriously, you need room).

  2. Run: /volcano activate

  3. Stand back.

Performance Note

Since this mod is actively moving thousands of blocks to create the mountain shape, it can be a bit heavy on the server while it's rising. Don't spawn this next to your base. It will eat your house.

Enjoy the eruption!
