Permission

Bind an echo shard at this soul-sand pad. One charge peels a nearby sculk shrieker's warning onto a decoy armor stand — bait for what hunts you, not a summons. Higher Tier, the decoy lingers longer.

Pattern

How it works

Echo Lure binds an echo shard with decoys for the deep dark. Right-click with the shard near a sculk shrieker, and one charge peels the warning away from you onto a decoy armor stand beside the nearest shrieker within 16 blocks. The echo peels onto a decoy by the nearest shrieker.

Wardens and hostile mobs within 16 blocks of the decoy turn to investigate it, while you slip away.

Tier	1	2	3	4	5	6	7
Decoy lasts	5s	8s	12s	18s	24s	36s	60s

Good to know

The lure never shrieks and never summons a warden. It only gives what hunts you something else to chase.

Enchantment

The enchantment is called Echo Lure. Hold an echo shard while you wake the rune.

lure-radius	16	How far (blocks) the decoy pulls wardens and hostile mobs.
warden-anger	150	Anger applied to a warden toward the decoy (vanilla anger units).

Settings by Tier

Setting	Tier 1	Tier 2	Tier 3	Tier 4	Tier 5	Tier 6	Tier 7
