Tribulation

A Tribulation defines a heavenly trial: the condition that triggers it, the phases it advances through, the difficulty multiplier, and the behaviour that runs on success or on failure.

File Location

Tribulation JSON files go in data/<namespace>/mxt/tribulation/ within your data pack.

The filename corresponds to its ID. For example, data/example/mxt/tribulation/three_thunders.json has the ID example:three_thunders.
