🍂 Decay Block

Decay Block advances through age stages and eventually transforms into another block — like ice melting into water.

It works in one of two modes:

Fixed interval (delay set to a positive value or range): the block ticks on a timer. After each interval it checks the light level and chance, increments age if the check passes, and re-schedules itself. When age reaches max, the block becomes decay_into.
Random tick (delay not set or ≤ 0): the block listens for random ticks instead. Same logic applies on each successful tick.

If required_light is set above 0, decay only triggers when the light level at or around the block meets the threshold.

Example

blocks:
  default:ice:
    behavior:
      type: decay_block
      decay_into: water          # the block to become when fully decayed (default air)
      delay: 100~200             # ticks between age increments, omit for random-tick mode (optional)
      chance: 0.5                # probability of advancing each interval (default 1)
      required_light: 0          # minimum light required for decay, 0 = always (default 0)
