## meteors

| Field | Meaning and default | Range |
| - | - | - |
| `craters` | `true` forms a Cursed crater where an unsafe meteor lands, in place of NTM's rubble and smoke, and places the meteorite 2 blocks lower; default `true`. | |
| `diverter_min_alive_seconds` | A Meteor Protection Beacon activates once its placer has lived this many seconds since their last death; a beacon without a placer never activates. Default `1800`. | `[0, i32::MAX]` |
| `diverter_radius_chunks` | An active beacon protects its chunk and this many chunks around it in each direction. A meteor bound for a protected chunk moves in one random direction, in steps of 16 blocks times this value (at least 16), until it leaves protection or reaches the world border. Default `3`. | `[0, i32::MAX]` |
