Nether Reactor Revived

This .mcaddon for Bedrock allows for the crafting and activation of the classic nether reactor from OG Minecraft pocket edition <0.12.1, allowing the player to obtain all 3 reactor variants and glowing obsidian in survival.
Unactivated reactor core inside the necessary reactor structure [sitting atop an existing nether spire (not required)]. Make sure you are at the same y-level to activate.

Mining/moving the active core will stop the reaction more gently. Now you can mine the glowing obsidian, keep the active core for decoration or reuse, or reuse the intact spire. [Just be careful not to agro the zombified piglins (not pigmen)].

Top: End reaction; Unable to connect (core still preserved). 
Bottom: Nether reaction; Runaway reaction if disturbed or not stopped (core destroyed unless moved/mined in 45 seconds). Does not replace non-air blocks, unlike overworld clearing.

Description

This Minecraft Bedrock addon enables the classic Nether Reactor Core functionality from pocket edition <0.12.1. All 3 states of the Nether Reactor Core block exist as obtainable items that remain functional as reusable reactor cores or decoration. Gold block mining ability is preserved, and glowing obsidian + the active core variant can be obtained by carefully mining or moving the active core before the reaction ends (this also prevents the spire from being degraded). Working as of v26.3, use a sword to activate the core. [Upcoming creator features and Beta APIs must be enabled!!!]. Credit: Based on DVdo's "The Nether Reactor" Java datapack on planetminecraft. Please support their development!
