Repelling Candle

The Repelling Candle is an item that can be placed on the Private Island and prevents Mobs from spawning. The crafting recipe for this item is unlocked at.

Usage
When the Repelling Candle is placed, monsters can be prevented from spawning on the island within a radius of 10 blocks, 50 blocks, or the entire island. To configure its settings, right-click on it. The player can choose the color, change the effective radius, and toggle the particles ON/OFF. Mobs spawned from minions are unaffected by this item.

The radius of this item is calculated as a sphere, including along the z axis.

It is very useful if the player wishes to cull mobs but also leave the island's biome unaltered, as previous solutions would often use a Nether Biome Stick to make the hostile mobs into Chickens.

NOTE: Placing the candle on a bottom half slab will cause it to turn into a normal torch and the candle will be gone.
