Description:
Are you tired of making 4 wide underground walls of wood blocks? Do you wish that there was a solution to control the biome spread without completely disable biomes from spreading?

My mod aims to find a clever solution to control the biome spread with just crafting and placing a single item (with variations for the different biomes).

The Beacon, you place it on the ground and it automatically start preventing biomes (The Hallow, Corruption and Crimson) from spreading using 2 functions:

It prevents underground spread too! it acts as a barrier that comes from the deep deep underground all the way to space.

– Tell the infected tile to not spread, my mod hooks into the vanilla game code for tile spread and tell it to cancel the spread where the beacon is present.
– Purify the infected tile, as a failsafe mechanism the beacon instantly starts purifying the infected tile in its protected area and keeps on checking and purifying regularly incase of failure from the first function.

Now you can use a new item to create protected zones / areas from biome infections!

The Connector, place it between two beacons of the same type to connect. Creates a combined protection zone of the two beacons

~ Make sure there isn’t any additional connector or a beacon of a different type between the beacons and the connector!
~ The connector must be connected to two beacons of the same type to work.

Mod Settings
– Increase / Decrease the protective area of a beacon.
– Increase / Decrease the range of which the connecter can connect to the nearest beacon.
– Enable / Disable debug to see how the beacon actively protects from spread.
– Enable / Disable Map Icons that shows the beacons and connectors placed in the world.

When near the protection borders beacon particles will start to appear to indicate that you reached the border of the beacon protection area.

The mod is made to work on multiplayer, but if you found a bug please let me know!
