Distant Shock Barrier
⚔️
When spell power goes out of control, let distance become the price of destruction
🌩️ Overview
- Distant Shock Barrier is an addon for Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks that solves performance issues caused by excessively large spell ranges.
When spell power becomes too high, spell ranges can expand to 100-200 blocks, causing massive computational overhead. This mod caps the maximum spell range and converts exceeded range into bonus damage.
+ Fixes TPS drops from oversized spells
+ Maintains high-level spell threat
+ Fully configurable damage conversion
