World Echo System

Overview

World Echo System makes your Minecraft world feel alive and responsive to your actions. Every time you mine diamonds, defeat mobs, build structures, or use magic, you leave behind invisible "echoes" that build up over time. Eventually, these echoes manifest as haunting events, mysterious mobs, and environmental changes that reflect your playstyle.

Features

Echo Tracking: The world remembers your actions - mining, fighting, building, and enchanting all leave traces
Echo Events: Past actions return to haunt you through special mob spawns, weather changes, and structure transformations
Echo Lens: A craftable item that reveals your current echo level and helps you visualize echoes in the world
Oblivion Ritual: A dangerous but effective way to clear your echoes (requires Echo Crystals)
Configurable: Adjust intensity, toggle features, or make it cosmetic-only for different playstyles

How to Use

Crafting the Echo Lens

Combine: Diamond + Glass + Ender Pearls in a crafting table to create an Echo Lens.

Checking Your Echo Level

Hold the Echo Lens and right-click to see your current echo level (0-100)
Higher echo levels mean more frequent and intense manifestations

Using the Echo Lens Visualization

Press V (default key) to toggle echo visibility
When active, you'll see magical particles highlighting echo concentrations

Performing the Oblivion Ritual

Craft an Echo Crystal (Diamond + Ender Pearl + Lapis)
Hold the Echo Crystal in your main or off hand
Type /oblivion in chat
Your echoes will be erased, but you'll suffer temporary weakness and other debuffs

Admin Commands

Tips & Tricks

Echo Mobs: Kill too many zombies and you might face a Revenant Zombie wearing your old gear. Mine lots of diamonds and a Crystal Wraith may hunt you in caves.
Arcane Storms: Heavy enchanting activity can trigger magical thunderstorms
Play Smart: The Oblivion Ritual is expensive and dangerous - sometimes it's better to let echoes decay naturally (they fade after 24 hours of no activity)
Config File: Edit worldechosystem.properties in your config folder to adjust echo intensity, disable specific features, or change manifestation timing

Known Limitations

Echo particles are simulated and don't represent actual stored echo data positions
Structure transformation to "Ruined Memories" is a planned feature not fully implemented
Some echo manifestations require players to be online at the time of triggering
