The Breaking Sun
The Breaking Sun (previously 'When Day breaks // Burn in sunlight') is an increadibly simple mod, if you are in the sun's proximity when its day you will burn alive. It is based of the SCP entry 'SCP-001; When Day Breaks', however you could use it for all kinds of stuff! This mod does not add any new items, entities or blocks, the only things it does add is a new potion effect and the sun burning you, and all entities alive.
You can toggle sun damage by changing the gamerule
DisableDayBreaks
to
true
----------------------
Mod is created with MCreator but due to it's simplicity it doesn't cause much lag. You may use in any modpack, videos etc, credit is not required, but would be nice :D
