Nyctophobia
Nyctophobia is a status effect that periodically inflicts damage upon affected entities when they are in darkness.
Effect
If the affected entity is either within a position that is light level 4 or below, or has the darkness effect, they will take damage over time. The amount of damage inflicted to the affected entity is shown in the table below:
| Level | Ticks per  |
per second
|
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 40 | 0.5 × 0.25
|
| 2 | 20 | 1
|
| 3 | 10 | 2
|
| 4[note 1] | 5 | 4
|
| 5[note 1] | 2 | 10
|
| 6+[note 1] | 1 | 20 × 10
|
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Due to damage immunity, the effective rate of damage is 10 ticks ( × 1 per second).
Death is reported as "<player> died of fear". Amplifiers outside the range 0–31 (corresponding to levels 1–32) use modulo 32 (as though reduced by 32 until they are within the range, or alternatively as the remainder from the division by 32, i.e. 33 or 65 is treated as 1).
If "nyctophobiaCurable" under goety-brews.config is disabled, the effect cannot be removed with milk, or wartful eggs, and only until the duration runs out.
