How it works

The Solar Flare burns a crater out of the world. Wake it, and a burning nova expands from the rune, vaporizing every block within 16 blocks in a ragged, scalloped crater. The rune itself goes with it. The sun answers — everything around the rune burns away.

Fire is left burning on the rim and clinging to the walls, and creatures caught in the blast are set alight.

Good to know

• The destruction is permanent. The crater never heals.
• Build it far from anything you want to keep.
• It stays cold inside a Danger Ward.

Configuration

These are the defaults in plugins/Runic/runes/solarflare.yml. Every rune file also carries the shared settings described in Rune files.

Setting	Default	What it does
radius	16
entity-fire-ticks	120
animate	true	Expand as a burning nova (false = instant sphere vaporize).
wave-blocks-per-tick	0.55	How fast the nova shell advances (blocks per game tick).
