2 years ago An ore that attracts mobs already has a use of it's own without being refined into an ingot of sorts, but the risk of obtaining the ore is diminished if you can randomly find it in a manmade quarry or branch mine, where those mobs can't reach you. The candle idea is interesting (reminds me of the Water Candle from Terraria), but the ore wouldn't be cannon because we're making it up and the ore does not come from the official source.

Is your feature request related to a problem?
it helps with players being able to become stronger the further they delve. also could branch into new item ideas.
Describe the solution you'd like.
it would be a rare custom ore block that spawns in surface deposits that attract mobs to make it harder to get, and it would have a super tiny chance to get while mining.
-spawns in surface deposit chunks that would atract mobs to make it harder to get.
-doesnt spawn too common they would spawn away from each other to keep it rare.
-mega tiny chance to get it while mining.
-we can say its cannon and say its what sovereigns armor is made of or something
-current uses in mind are armor and tools (of course) but also maybe something unique like it can make a placeable item like a custom candle that encourages mob spawn in a radius around it, would need code work so effect doesnt stack and is abused. opposite is also available to where it makes mobs run from the area. like a creeper to a cat.
Describe alternatives you've considered.
changes to its features are open this is just a idea.
