AcidIsland

🎁 What's new

AcidIsland 2.1.0 turns the sulfur vents from scenery into an economy. Throw items into the water around a vent and the geyser consumes them as offerings — then pays you back with interest on its next eruption, spewing transmuted rewards out of the plume. The geyser gives back what it is fed, changed: sacrifice ores and it leans towards gems, sacrifice wood and it leans towards living things. What you throw in shapes what comes out.

The mechanic is fully optional and version-aware: it requires Minecraft 26.2+ (where sulfur vents exist) and quietly disables itself on older servers.

✨ Highlights

🌋 Geyser offerings (PR #178)

• Items floating in the pool around a sulfur vent are consumed with a sizzle as offerings — anywhere within the pool counts, no pixel-perfect aim needed
• When the vent's geyser next erupts, one reward per item offered (capped, configurable) is spewed from the plume in a radial fountain as the eruption settles
• Offerings are categorized into channels — gems, nether, mineral, forestry, husbandry — and bias the reward table towards what was sacrificed
• ⚙️ Rewards are defined in a new editable geyser-loot.yml (copied to the addon data folder on first run): weighted item entries with amount ranges, plus console command rewards with %player% substitution
• ⚙️ New world.geyser-offerings config section: enabled (default true) and max-rewards per eruption (default 12)
• New API events for other addons: GeyserSacrificeEvent (cancellable) and GeyserTransmuteEvent
• Works with acid item destruction: items the acid dissolves within a vent's pool count as offerings instead of being lost, whatever your acid.damage.acid.item destroy time — and spewed rewards are tagged so they can never be recycled into new offerings
• Mined-out vents forfeit their pending offerings — the geyser is not a storage unit

⚙️ Sulfur vent chance tunable mid-game

• ⚙️ world.sulfur-vent-chance no longer demands a world reset to change — it only affects newly generated chunks, so admins can tune vent density on a live server

⚙️ Compatibility

✔️ BentoBox API 3.14.0 ✔️ Minecraft 1.21.11 – 26.2 (geyser offerings require 26.2+) ✔️ Java 21

🔺 Updating — important notes

⚙️ New config and reward table. The world.geyser-offerings section is added to config.yml automatically, and geyser-loot.yml is copied into the addon data folder on first run for you to customize. The mechanic is on by default; set world.geyser-offerings.enabled: false to turn it off.

No world reset needed. Offerings work at any existing sulfur vent — this release makes no world generation changes.

📥 How to update

1. Stop the server
2. Back up your BentoBox folder
3. Drop the new jar into the addons folder and remove the old one
4. Start the server
