Xyvas

Anchors a dragon egg so it can no longer slip away. The egg stays seated until the anchor is undone.

How it works​

A dragon egg leaps away when someone strikes it. Xyvas pins one in place. Build the scaffold around the egg, then right-click the egg itself. The scaffold burns away and the egg stays behind, bound. Xyvas binds the egg — it will not teleport until a pickaxe breaks it.

While the binding holds, any click that would make the egg jump is cancelled. Mine the egg with a pickaxe to break it free, which also clears the binding. Other tools are turned away. Only a pickaxe can shatter Xyvas' hold on the egg.

Tips​

  • Bind the egg where it will sit for good, such as a trophy plinth.
  • The diamond block marks the north side of the pattern, so the scaffold can face any way you like.

Configuration​

These are the defaults in plugins/Runic/runes/xyvas.yml. Every rune file also carries the shared settings described in Rune files.

Xyvas has no settings of its own beyond the shared ones.
