Dummy

Line 5:

The Dummy is a hostile pseudo-mob found in dark areas of the world. When not directly looked at, it slowly approaches the nearest player and, if approached back, unleashes a powerful blast of deadly grim energy against its target.

While present, the sounds of broken blocks and laments may be heard in the distance. These can be heard from ~~even further away~~ by the Dummy's ~~target~~ player.

=== Natural Spawning ===

~~Note: This feature requires the [[Settings#Natural_Spawning~~|Natural Spawning~~]] setting to be enabled.~~

~~Whenever a player is~~ in a poorly-lit ~~room, an individual "spawning clock" is increased for every tick~~ in ~~darkness, and decreased otherwise. Reaching~~ a ~~max value of 8000 resets this clock to zero~~.

Upon reaching a value of 4000 or higher, every tick has a chance to initiate a spawn attempt in a 32x16x32 box around the player. When a position is chosen, the following criteria are tested:

In order to manually summon a Dummy, a Dummy Totem must be built. This structure is created by placing four "[[#Dummy Materials|Dummy material]]" blocks in a T shape, followed by a Glowstone placed above the center upper block. The Glowstone must always be placed last.
