 Destruction incantation (1.18.1+ only)

Type the incantation to the chat when holding a levitation stone near a levitation crystal to activate the incantation.

You can use one of the incantations (let me know if you want to add your speaking language):

"BARUSU", "BALSE", "BALUS", "バルス", "巴鲁斯"

Details:

- The castle is only generated in the ocean biomes in the overworld.

- The minimum distance between the castles and world spawn is 10000 blocks (configurable), which means you will travel at least 10000 blocks before finding one.

- The castles spawns averagely 8000 blocks (configurable) apart with 4800 blocks (configurable) minimum distance.

------------------------------------------

- You cannot place or break block until you disable the crystal of the castle after walking through the dungeon.

- Yellow, Blue and Red keys are required to lock corresponding doors in the dungeon. They are dropped by killing mobs in the castle (30%, 10%, 2% drop rates, configurable)

- Keys and excellent treasures can be found in the dungeon as well, you might need to solve puzzles or kill hard mobs to obtain them.

- The levitation stone gives you levitation effect when near the castle.

- The levitation crystal gives nearby players (within 100 blocks, configurable) effect to prevent them from placing and breaking blocks. The effect can be disabled in config file as well.

------------------------------------------

The castle was inspired by Hayao Miyazaki's animated film Laputa: Castle in the Sky.

Fun fact: The iron golem's holding out flowers to villagers is a reference to the ancient robots in the movie as well.
