Blood Tithe

A TShock plugin that provides a means to mitigate Demon Altar corruption.

Details

The purpose of this plugin is to make the spread of corruption resulting from Demon Altars more manageable. With the plugin active, Demon Altars will consume Life Crystals thrown onto them; after being fed three of them, they'll shatter as if they were hammered. If an altar so destroyed releases any corruption into the world, a fairy will appear to take you to it so that you can root it out. See this video for a demonstration.

The plugin can also be configured to simply cancel the corruption from Demon Altars in a more straightforward fashion.

Configuration

Run the TShock executable after installing the plugin to generate a default configuration file. The file will be located in the /tshock subfolder, called BloodTithe.json.

Parameter	Description	Default
Item	The ID of the item that altars will accept.	29 (Life Crystal)
ItemsRequired	The number of items that must be fed to the altar for the effect to trigger.	3
PreventCorruption	If true, corruption from altar-smashing will be prevented altogether.	false
SpawnWarpFairy	If true, a fairy guide will be spawned to take the player to the corrupted tile.	true

Generally, you'll want either PreventCorruption or SpawnWarpFairy enabled; there's not much sense in having neither or both active.
