Description
# Sun Grudge
**The sun has noticed you. It doesn't like you.**
Daylight burns. Stay out in the open too long and the sun starts **firing lasers** at you. Live underground, wait for night, or build a roof. A light horror mod with no gore and no jumpscares. Just a big smiling sun that is a little too interested in you.
## How it works
- **The sun watches.** Step into open daylight and it starts to pay attention. Its face changes as it does: sleepy, then watching, then grumpy.
- **Sunburn.** After a few seconds in the open you start taking damage. Armor doesn't help.
- **Lasers.** Stay out for about 20 seconds and the sun starts charging up. A red targeting beam tracks you, then **locks on**. Move out of the ring before it fires.
- **Hide.** Shade, roofs, caves, water, rain and night all keep you safe. Roofs even block the laser.
- **Grace period.** New players get 2 minutes to dig in or build before the sun wakes up.
- **The sun gets bigger and redder** the longer it stares at you.
## Silly bits
- Wear a **carved pumpkin** and the sun gets confused. It builds up anger more slowly and can't aim lasers at you.
- **Fire Resistance works as sunscreen.**
- The sun **whispers** to you while it watches. *"you look cold. let me help."*
- Every sunrise: **"good morning. it remembers you."**
- Custom death messages: *"Steve was lasered by the sun."*
## Multiplayer
- Every player has their own exposure. The sun can stare at several people at once (2 by default).
- Laser blasts hit **everyone** in the ring, so don't huddle together in the sun.
- When the sun starts hunting, the server finds out who its **favorite** is.
- Install the mod on both the server and every client.
## Commands (op only)
- `/sungrudge zap <targets>`: point the sun at anything. Great for pranking friends.
- `/sungrudge exposure <players> [ticks]`: check or set how angry the sun is.
- `/sungrudge calm <players>`: make the sun look away.
- `/sungrudge skipgrace <players>`
- `/sungrudge reload`: reload `config/sungrudge.json`.
## Config
`config/sungrudge.json` covers the grace period, burn and laser timings, laser damage and radius, max lasers at once, the pumpkin disguise, sunrise titles and whispers. Fire from lasers is **off by default**, so bases stay safe.
## Requirements
Minecraft 26.3, Fabric Loader 0.20.1+, Fabric API.
