Eternia Crystal Stand won't comply anymore and living by its own rules at this point

[deeleak]

My Eternia crystal stand was working as intended like any day before until it decides to be a drama queen and stops working just because I removed a 1x1 block to make my arena more flat, which is good since the crystal stand works only when it's a flat surfaces...
Now that I terraformed my whole map to be all flat just for it to work, looks like sir Mr.Eternia Crystal is not satisfied and is basically telling me to ♥♥♥♥ off

Did you try to cheat and build above the ground?

Cheat no, but building above the ground yes and it still doesn't work.

[DaTank]

Building above the ground is going to do that because it is essentially trying to cheat. You're suppose to do the encounter with your weapons and the towers, which is why you're not allowed to build while the crystal is being defended.

I said that I tried building above the ground but in a normal situation i'd always leave it on the flat surfaces but it still tells me that I can't use it

If you have a ceiling it needs to be 10 blocks higher than the arenas floor. It got me.

I get what you're saying but as Var has mentioned you need to build 10 tiles above. If you were to build say a couple squares from your flat surface it could create a collision where the enemies couldn't move through it.

I have never tried to build above the ground outside of platforms but I don't know if the enemies that come out of the portals ignore collision or not, but I would just say that you can't build like that to prevent players from cheesing out the encounter through blocks.

Blocking enemies won't work anyway, enemies will eventually travel through blocks, which make killing them harder. If i'm not mistaken, the area above the stand must be clear (no blocks 10 blocks above).

I can't do any flatter than this and there is literally nothing above the stand, I even removed the platforms around just to be sure but nope still not enough

how much can they get from a man

[MaxBlue001]

I'm not sure you have enough space at the left. Maybe remove more area there?

Dude. That isn't long enough, it has to be really long for it to count. I'd say 2x the size of the current arena you're making.

You need at least 61 blocks in each direction for it to work, but you should make it at least triple that otherwise they'll spawn too close for you to keep up.

-its got to be a minimum of 61 squares from the centre of the stand, but the portal will spawn farther away, up to 120 squares
-from each square out from the edge of the stand you can lower or raise the blocks one square
-the highest a cliff can be is 3 squares before its considered to be unclimbable
-you can have a roof but from the "floor" (the level from which the stand is placed) it needs to be at least 10 blocks
-you CAN have actuated blocks, but they HAVE to be active at the time of starting the fight. You can turn blocks off (remember the climbing rules, 3 high) after its started. Technically this can be used to make traps

Also, the longer the arena, the easier the event will be, because it will allow more time to kill enemies before they reach the crystal. And at higher difficulties, you will need all the help and advantages you can get.
