Caravan

Hay and oak make a horse with a second seat for a companion; sandstone in the bed calls a camel with a third seat on the hump. The wagon is spent in the summoning.

How it works​

Caravan summons a mount with room for company. Touch the centre of the wagon bed and the wagon is spent. The Caravan takes horse-shape — companions may ride.

Wagon bedMount
HayA tamed, saddled horse with a second seat behind the rider.
SandstoneA camel with a third seat on its hump, after its two usual seats.

The fence posts must face inward as the pattern shows, and a sandstone wagon needs Minecraft 1.20 or newer.

Configuration​

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

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