Laser Barrier

Defensive controller that projects a laser wall in the block's facing direction and periodically damages entities in the area.

What it does​

  • Creates a laser field with configurable width and height.
  • Consumes energy continuously to sustain the field.
  • Pulses damage to creatures within range.
  • Provides area denial and defensive capabilities.

How to use​

  1. Place the block facing the direction where you want the wall.
  2. Keep power supplied to the block.
  3. Install upgrades by right-clicking while holding the upgrade.
  4. Sneak with an empty hand to remove installed upgrades.

Machine Capabilities​

  • Energy Capacity: 320,000 DE (0.32 MDE)
  • Energy Consumption: 800 DE per damage pulse cycle
  • Base Field Size: Configurable width and height
  • Damage Pulse: Periodic damage to entities in field range
  • Max Upgrades: Up to +8 length/height, up to 8 energy efficiency levels

Upgrades​

  • Length (Size Upgrade) (L): Increases wall length (up to +8).
  • Height (Size Upgrade) (H): Sneak while applying to increase height (up to +8).
  • Energy Upgrade (E): Reduces cost per cycle (up to 8 levels).

Defensive Mechanics​

  • Field Projection: Laser wall projects in the block's facing direction.
  • Continuous Operation: Requires constant energy supply.
  • Damage Pulse: Periodically damages creatures within the field.
  • Sneak Immunity: Sneaking players are not damaged by the pulse.
  • Field Collapse: The field disappears when energy runs out.

Strategic Use​

  • Base Defense: Create defensive perimeters around your base.
  • Mob Control: Establish barriers to control mob movement.
  • Area Denial: Block access to specific areas.
  • Layered Defense: Combine multiple barriers for enhanced protection.

Notes​

  • The barrier requires line-of-sight from the controller block.
  • Energy consumption increases with field size upgrades.
  • Field visibility provides clear indication of active protection.
