# ☠ Gateway of Doom **Throw a Devil Eye. Tear open a portal. Survive the waves. Claim the loot.** Gateway of Doom turns any open patch of ground into a high-stakes mob arena. Hurl a **Devil Eye** like an Eye of Ender — it streaks forward, finds a safe spot, and rips open a glowing **floating portal** that summons wave after wave of monsters. Fight them off against the clock, survive an optional **final boss**, and the gateway showers you with rewards. Fail, and it closes with a curse. Every eye is fully configurable, and you can craft your **own** custom eyes right inside the game — no config files, no restarts required. --- ## ⚔ How It Works 1. **Throw a Devil Eye** — it behaves like an Eye of Ender, flying out ahead of you. 2. **A portal blooms in mid-air**, 3–5 blocks above the ground, in your eye's signature style and color. The mod automatically scans for a safe, open arena so mobs never spawn inside lava, water, or a wall. 3. **Waves begin.** A boss bar tracks the current wave, how many mobs remain, and your countdown timer. Spawned mobs glow and gently float down on slow-fall, then hunt you down. 4. **Clear every mob before the timer runs out** to advance. Beat the last wave — and the optional **boss wave** — to win. 5. **Win:** rewards rain from the portal, plus bonus XP. **Lose:** the gateway fails and hits nearby players with debuffs. > Mobs are kept on a leash around the portal — wander too far and they're pulled back, so the fight always comes to the arena. --- ## ✦ Three Ready-to-Play Eyes The mod ships with three hand-tuned difficulties, each themed around a dimension: | Eye | Theme | Where to use it | Boss | Flavor of loot | |-----|-------|-----------------|------|----------------| | 🔵 **Devil Eye (Easy)** | Overworld horde | The Overworld | A Pig, oversized | Iron, gold, bread, emeralds, diamonds, XP bottles | | 🔴 **Devil Eye (Medium)** | Nether onslaught | The Nether | An empowered Wither Skeleton | Diamonds, gold blocks, blaze rods, ender pearls, golden apples, netherite scrap | | 🟣 **Devil Eye (Hard)** | End nightmare | The End (outer islands) | **The Wither** | Netherite, diamond blocks, enchanted golden apple, totem, shulker shells, a rare **Elytra** | Each eye comes with its own multi-wave gauntlet, a scaling boss, themed rewards with individual drop chances, and failure debuffs that punish defeat. --- ## ★ Earn the Eyes — Two Ways to Find Them You don't just spawn eyes from a menu (though admins can). By default, eyes are something you **discover**: - **Chest loot** — eyes are injected into themed structure chests. Easy eyes hide in dungeons, mineshafts and strongholds; Medium in bastions and Nether fortresses; Hard in End City treasure. - **Mob drops** — slaying the right hostile mobs in the right dimension has a chance to drop the matching eye. Both sources, the chances, and exactly which chests and mobs they come from are fully configurable per eye. > ⚠️ **Note on chest loot:** Chest drops are locked in when the world loads. After you change chest settings, a **server restart** is required for eyes to appear in chests — on **singleplayer / offline maps**, that means **leaving and reloading the world** (or restarting the game). **Mob drops** apply instantly, no restart needed. --- ## 🛠 Build Your Own Eyes — Full In-Game Editor Open the admin menu with **`/doom`** (requires operator permissions) and design completely custom gateways — no file editing, no server restart. Create **unlimited** eyes, each with its own unique identity. For every eye you control: - **🎨 Portal Style & Color** — Choose from **various animated portal types** and select a custom RGB/HEX color (the portal animation, particles, and boss bar all cleanly adapt to it). - **🌊 Waves** — choose **Fixed waves** (hand-pick the exact mobs and counts per wave) or **Random waves** (define a weighted mob pool, min/max waves, mob budgets, and per-wave growth so each run is different). - **💪 Mob strength** — independent **Health**, **Damage**, and **Speed** boosts (as %), applied cleanly on top of true vanilla base stats so it plays nicely with other mods. - **👑 End boss** — toggle a final boss wave with its own mob type, count, size scale, HP/DMG/speed, and time limit. Add **guard mobs** (each with their own size and strength) and even **extra bosses**. A dedicated boss health bar appears during the fight. - **🎁 Rewards** — any items, any counts, each with its own **% drop chance**, plus completion XP. - **☠ Failure debuffs** — pick the status effects, levels, and durations applied to players when a gateway is failed. - **🪙 Eye drops** — decide which mobs drop this eye (with per-mob chance) and which chest loot tables it's injected into (or inject into *every* chest), with separate chest/mob drop chances. - **🌍 Dimensions** — set where each eye can be **found** (as loot) and where it can be **activated** (opens a portal), independently. Even friendly mobs (a pig, a cow…) can be used as wave or boss mobs — the mod automatically makes them aggressive so they actually fight back. --- ## ⚙ Global Settings & Admin Tools - **Portal opening speed** and **pause between waves** (in ticks). - **Mob range** — the leash radius mobs are tethered to. - **Night only** — optionally restrict portal activation to nighttime in day/night dimensions. - **Wave mob vanilla loot** — toggle whether wave mobs drop their normal loot (off by default, so the reward system is the star). - **Commands:** - `/doom` or `/doom menu` — open the configuration menu - `/doom eye give [n]` — hand out any eye - `/doom reload` / `/doom reset` — reload or restore default config - `/doom cleanup [mobs]` — instantly remove stray portals and/or wave mobs across all dimensions --- ## 🧩 Built to Be Robust - **Smart spawn placement** — scans for a genuinely safe arena (solid floor, open air, no lava/water/hazards) before opening, and gives the eye back if there's nowhere safe. - **Keeps ticking when you leave** — portals force-load their chunks, so a gateway keeps running even if you step into another dimension, then cleans up after itself. - **No litter** — abandoned gateways close on their own, and all wave mobs are tagged and cleaned up so nothing wanders off. - **Reload-safe** — in-progress gateways and their waves survive world reloads. - **Multiplayer-ready** — the boss bar is shared with everyone in range, and players who leave the area are dropped from it cleanly. --- ## 🎯 Perfect For - **Survival players** who want an on-demand combat challenge with real rewards. - **Map & modpack makers** who need fully customizable, styled, and color-coded encounter portals. - **Server admins** building events, arenas, or progression gates — all configurable live, in-game. --- **Throw the eye.
