Runecraft

Runecraft 3 is a plugin that adds magic runes to Minecraft. It is among the oldest Minecraft mods, and is much-loved by the Novylen playerbase. Runecraft can teleport you across the map, allow you to craft magic armour, construct one-block infinite water sources, and so much more. Runecraft documentation is often difficult to find, and the Runecraft Wiki itself is currently under reconstruction due to data loss. As such, information on Runecraft for Novylen players will be documented here, in one centralised location.

Basics of Runecraft

Runecraft is a plugin that has no /commands. Instead, all mechanics involve building structures in game with real blocks. In order to use many Runecraft mechanics, you must first obtain Runic Energy. Runic Energy is created by burning your items, or throwing them into lava. It can also be created using the Aether Chest rune (see below). Different items generate different amounts of Runic Energy. You can store up to 4 million runic energy at a given time. It does not expire when you log off.

Runecraft structures are built with three different types of blocks:

1. Tier Blocks (aka Ink Blocks): These are the main blocks used to construct the runecraft structures (runes). Different blocks may have different tiers, meaning they give more or less power to your rune (usually). For more information on tiers and energy, see here. Typically, your rune may not mix and match different tier blocks.
2. Structure Blocks: These are very specific blocks that are needed to create a rune. They may also double as tier blocks or key blocks.
3. Key Blocks: These are blocks you choose to personalise your rune. They may also double as tier or structure blocks.

Common Runes

Teleporter

The teleporter uses Tier 1 blocks and higher. When right-clicked, if the signature matches the signature of a waypoint (check to ensure that the N/S/E/W match between waypoint and teleporter) then these blocks will be consumed. From then on, right-clicking the middle of the rune will teleport you to that waypoint. This does not work across worlds. If the waypoint uses a higher tier of block than the teleporter, you must put a tier block in the optional space that matches it.

Waypoint:
The waypoint uses Tier 1 blocks and higher. Once built, if a unique signature block pattern is used, it can be activated with a right click. Teleporters can then link to this waypoint until it is destroyed.

Recall:

Enchants a tool. When used, the tool will teleport you to the location of the original recall rune. Consumes the rune in the process. Infinite uses per tool.

Levitation Obelisk:
Multi-level structure. Once built, enables creative flight in an area determined by the block tier (higher == larger block radius).

Power Tool
Enchants your pickaxe to mine a 3x3x# area. # can be changed by right-clicking with the tool in your on-hand. The maximum # is determined by the tier. Works on all regular tools ie sword, pickaxe, and axe. Can be disabled by breaking blocks while shift clicking. Will only break blocks of the type that you mine. Other enchantments eg. autosmelt and silk touch are respected by this rune. Consumes the rune when used. Use of a power tool drains runic energy.

Dispel:
Removes runic enchantments from items. Tier 1 can be used for a single enchantment. Tier 2+ can be used for multiple enchantments. Tier3+ can be used for all items in your inventory. Opens a GUI so you can be sure not to remove the wrong enchantment bu accident.

Other Enabled Runes

Disclaimer: This list is accurate as of Dec 15 2021. Feel free to experiment. But, just because a rune is enabled doesn't mean you have a free pass to use it to grief, dupe items, break the economy, etc. Use common sense. If a rune's powers are too good to be true, they are probably meant to be disabled. The bow, tool and armour enchantments seem somewhat popular and may be worth trying out. Surface tension and forcefield have also been used from time-to-time. The permanence rune destroys the egg. Chrono trigger is a little bit too powerful, so it's probably a good idea to ask a mod to just use the one at spawn and let them decide if that's OK, rather than construct your own.
