Dimension radiation settings

Background and field radiation settings.

The entry ID is the dimension ID. For the Nether, use data/minecraft/hbm/radiation_settings/the_nether.json.

{"ambient_rad": 0.1}

All seven fields are optional:

FieldMeaning and defaultRange
diffusivityGlobal field-diffusion rate; inherits the global setting, initially 10.0.000001–Double.MAX_VALUE
half_life_secondsField decay half-life; inherits the global setting, initially 120 seconds.0.000001–Double.MAX_VALUE
fog_radRadiation-fog threshold; inherits the global setting, initially 100.0–Double.MAX_VALUE
fog_chanceRadiation-fog attempt interval parameter; inherits the global setting, initially 20.1–Double.MAX_VALUE
world_rad_effectsControls radiation world effects; inherits the global setting, initially true.
ambient_radBackground radiation in rad/s; default 0.0–Double.MAX_VALUE
diffusivity_transportChooses block-dependent transport; omission uses a nontrivial loaded mapping.

An omitted diffusivity_transport enables that model only if a nontrivial diffusivity mapping loaded.

Background radiation is applied at exposure time and remains constant. An entity where the field is at or above zero takes whichever is higher, the field or the background. Absorbers can pull the field below zero, down to minus the background; there the entity takes the background minus that drain, reaching zero at the lowest point. Raw-field instruments show the field itself, including negative values.
