How it works

A Splock is a Lock for vanishing floors. It seals and drives its set like any Lock, and each time it moves the set, it also flips every Spleef and Sploggle block in that set to its other shape. Blocks that stood drop away, and blocks that had dropped return.

Spleef and Sploggle blocks keep answering clicks while a Splock shares their set, so players can still knock out blocks one at a time between flips.

Related

The Toggles, locks, and phases guide covers keys, redstone, and designators. The Splock follows the two-shape redstone rules of a Lock.
