Other Mechanics

This page covers a few additional features that don't fit elsewhere.

PvP Explosive & Item Nerfs

To keep PvP fair while still allowing creative tactics, certain explosive or instant‑damage mechanics are toned down:

End Crystals, End‑Gateway/Anchor blasts, beds in the Nether/End, and minecart explosives are nerfed when multiple players are nearby. Damage is reduced and these sources do not “tag” you for PvP.
Instant damage arrows/potions are limited: harmful arrows convert to small fixed damage and the arrow is removed; harming splash damage is reduced.
Respawn anchors used outside their normal dimension trigger a small controlled explosion instead of the default behavior.

The End dimension opens two weeks after the season start time. Any attempt to enter earlier will cancel the portal and display the remaining time.
