Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.9–26.2 · Data pack⬇ Download for 1.21.8 · Data pack⬇ Download for 1.21.9–26.2 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21.8 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21.9–26.2 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.21.8 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.21.9–26.2 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.8 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.9–26.2 · Quilt⬇ Download for 1.21.8 · Quilt
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

| DESCRIPTION |

Adds a cooldown to every End Crystal, preventing interaction for the first 0.5 seconds. This prevents any left- or right-clicks on the crystal entity, making it impossible to detonate it by attacking it or throwing a projectile while looking at it. This delay is shown when using hitboxes (f3 + b) as a second, slightly larger, hitbox layer.

Some methods that may be used to detonate an End Crystal during cooldown include:

  • Throwing multiple snowballs or eggs up, then spamming crystals when they land, allowing for multiple quick detonations
  • Shooting a bow then placing a crystal before it lands, similar to methods used in Cart PvP
  • Standing at a distance where you can reach the obsidian but not the crystal (there is about a 1 block range where this is possible), and throwing a snowball or egg after placing the crystal

| VERSIONS |

Currently supports Minecraft Java 1.21-26.2. No versions before 1.21 will work, however an update may be made to add support for these versions in the future.

| COMPATIBILITY |

Incompatible with any datapack using minecraft:balanced_crystals_tick.mcfunction, an interaction entity with the Crystal tag, or a CrystalLife scoreboard (all will probably be unlikely to happen). Will significantly affect gameplay in late-game survival, especially Crystal PvP.
