Echo Bell

Everything hears the bell. Everything glows. Including you.

Echo Bell adds a single, carefully-tuned item: a bell forged from a regular bell and amethyst shards. Ring it and a sonar pulse ripples outward, making every living creature within 32 blocks glow through walls for 8 seconds — creepers lurking in caves, skeletons hiding behind pillars... and you, loudly announcing your position to everything you just revealed.

Features

• Sonar pulse — all living entities in a 32-block radius get Glowing, visible through any wall
• Two-way street — you glow too. Scouting is a risk/reward decision
• 15-second cooldown — no bell spam; each ring is a choice
• Expanding particle rings + a deep resonant chime so you can see and hear the pulse
• Craftable early — one bell + four amethyst shards

How to use it

• Explore a cave? Ring it to spot mobs through the stone before they spot you.
• Night raid on your base? Ring it to find the skeletons in the treeline — while glowing like a beacon yourself.
• Multiplayer: it reveals everyone, so it is as much a warning as a weapon.

Technical

• Minecraft 1.20.1, Fabric Loader ≥ 0.15, Fabric API required, Java 17
• Server-side logic only — works fine on dedicated servers and singleplayer
