• T
  Tier block × 16

  Every T is the same block, and that block’s Tier sets the rune’s strength.
• ↑
  Signature block × 4

  Each arm holds a Tier 1+ block other than the Tier block, or stays empty (air or Tier 0). Read by compass direction, the arms spell the rune’s signature.
• Air or a Tier 0 block × 37

  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

A Reality Anchor marks out a box of the world as a template for a Reality Master to copy.

1. Build the Anchor with your signature in the four corner cells and right-click the centre emerald with an empty hand. Five emerald bounds rise, one north, east, south, west, and above.
2. Right-click a bound to slide it one block along its line, until the box holds your build.
3. Right-click the centre again to commit the template. Reality is anchored — 4212 blocks await a Reality Master.

The Anchor's Tier sets how far the bounds may reach and how many blocks the template may hold, from 15 blocks and 729 blocks at Tier 1 up to 100 blocks and 500,000 blocks at Tier 7.

The template stays live, so changes inside the bounds show up in the next copy. Only one Anchor may hold a signature.

See Reality Anchor and Master for the full guide.

Configuration

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

Settings by Tier

Setting	Tier 1	Tier 2	Tier 3	Tier 4	Tier 5	Tier 6	Tier 7
radii-by-tier Max distance from the Anchor center to a bound emerald, by pattern Tier (1–7). Horizontal axes use radius+1; vertical uses radius*2+1.	15	20	25	30	35	50	100
volume-caps-by-tier Max cuboid volume (inclusive) that Tier may commit as ready.	729	2197	12167	19683	27000	103823	500000
