The Tesla Coil is a device that damages mobs, villagers, and players when connected to a power source and receiving a redstone signal.


Approximately once every two seconds the Tesla coil will simultaneously damage all creatures (including villagers and the player) within a 9x9x9 cube around the Tesla Coil.

Note: The Tesla Coil will zap things through the walls/floor/ceiling.


The Tesla Coil can kill Spiders, Skeletons, Creepers, and Zombies in two hits if connected to an MFE, or 7 hits if connected to a Batbox. Endermen take twice as many hits to kill, and the player is killed in one hit from an MFE, or two hits from a Batbox.

Note: The Tesla Coil tends to do much more damage on the first cycle if it has been dormant for a while before being activated (killing the player and zombies/skeletons/creepers/spiders in one hit, even from a Batbox. And killing Endermen in 6 hits from a Batbox and three hits from an MFE). The reason for this is currently unknown, but it is likely that the Tesla Coil has a small reservoir that it charges when not in use.


If an entity is in range of multiple active Tesla Coils, the damage will stack as expected.

Tesla Coils will drain energy while active, even if there are no targets in range. Thus, it is recommended that Stone Pressure Plates and Switches be configured so that the Tesla Coil will only receive a redstone signal when something is on a pressure plate and the switch is in the "on" position. This way the Tesla coil won't drain any energy unless a target is near, and the player will be able to protect their base at night without having to try and dodge the pressure plates while coming and going during the day.
