• T
  Tier block × 2

  Every T is the same block, and that block’s Tier sets the rune’s strength.
• ?
  Optional cell × 8

  Leave it empty or place a block here; the rune wakes either way.
• Air or a Tier 0 block × 8

  Leave these as air, or fill them with Tier 0 blocks such as dirt or stone.
• Activation block

  The glowing cell is the one to click.

How it works

The Teleport Ward closes its sphere to travel. Any teleport that starts or ends inside it is cancelled: ender pearls, chorus fruit, portals, commands, other plugins, and Runic travel alike. Endermen and shulkers cannot blink in or out either. The travel runes stay cold inside it, including Teleporters, Waypoints, Stargates, and Warp.

A Spirit Walk return is the one trip it allows, so a spirit always finds its body.

Its brick stairs set it apart from the other wards.
