Function

Daily exchange

Once per Minecraft day, the circle exchanges blocks in a 5×5 area below it, working downward one layer every ALCHEMICAL_EXCHANGE_BLOCK_CYCLE.

It processes ALCHEMICAL_EXCHANGE_HEIGHT layers. Setting it to 0 disables the exchange.

Each block is exchanged for a random block from the same configured material class. One result is chosen per class for each daily exchange.

Mana

Every matching block considered for replacement costs ALCHEMICAL_EXCHANGE_MANA_COST. The circle first tries nearby compatible Mana Circuits around itself, then the caster's normal personal, gem, and circuit supply. A block is left unchanged when the complete cost cannot be paid.

The caster must be online for the fallback personal supply, but a nearby compatible circuit can power a change while the caster is absent.

Block protection

Mana may still be spent when block protection prevents a replacement.

Exchange classes

The server config groups exchangeable blocks into Dirt, Stone, Metal, Gem, Clay, Wood, Special, Grass, Fluid, and Wildcard classes. Blocks exchange only with entries in the same class.

Entries may use block IDs or block tags. Wildcard can hold an additional custom group.
