How it works

Viatorem's Arch is an upright gateway, five wide and six tall, that you walk through. Right-click the keystone to attune it. It has two forms:

Feet	Keystone	Opens onto
Gold	Iron	The Waypoint that shares its signature. The arch drinks the signature — step through to travel.
Iron	Gold	Another arch with the same signature. Only two arches stay awake on one signature.

Step through an awake arch to travel. Its Tier must be at least its destination's. This arch (Tier 2) cannot reach the far arch (Tier 4).

Waking and sleeping

Click the keystone, mark it with an Automation Designator, or power it with redstone. A signal turning on wakes the arch and turning off puts it to sleep. The arch awakens. / The arch sleeps.

See Travel for more.

Configuration

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

Viatorem's Arch has no settings of its own beyond the shared ones.
