Solar Radiation

Add a layer of challenge to Minecraft survival, by making the sun dangerous for the player.

Solar Radiation Title

Intro

Welcome to Solar Radiation!

You find yourself in a post apocalyptic world. The planet has moved closer to the sun, the earth's atmosphere has thinned and with it, the protection it provided.

Solar radiation is poisonous and can lead to death, so to survive in this new world you will have to avoid the sun as much as possible. Live under ground or in shelters and only venture out at night.

Data pack goal

This data pack adds new radiation mechanics designed to encourage players to venture out at night and make preparations before braving the sunlight.

Build a secure bunker, a grand underground city or revert to a cave dwelling lifestyle. As always, how you chose to play is up to you, now you simply have a new threat to take into consideration!
