Black Hole

When you place a Black Hole down in the world, it will start erasing blocks and entities in a spherical pattern. By default the Black Hole has a radius of 90. You can adjust this value in the configuration file.

The Black Hole will not kill players if they are in Creative or Spectator gamemodes.

When a player sets down a Black Hole, a message will display for each player in that world where the Black Hole event occured. You can toggle this off in the config.

If you try to set down a Black Hole in a dimension that is blacklisted in the configuration file, you'll get a message saying Black Holes are not allowed in that dimension.
