Memento

A keepsake that will not let the land sleep: its chunks stay wakeful for a tiered while, wider and longer with Tier, feeding itself when it can.

Pattern​

    How it works​

    A Memento keeps the land awake. While it holds, the chunks around it stay loaded, so farms, furnaces, and redstone keep running with nobody nearby.

    1. Build the keepsake with its quartz stairs facing the diamond, the upper ring upside down.
    2. Set a block of the same Tier as the pattern directly above the diamond.
    3. Right-click the diamond. The Tier blocks, the redstone blocks, and the block above burn away. Memento awakens (Tier 3) — holding a 7×7 chunk field for 120s.

    Size and time​

    A Tier 1 Memento holds a three-by-three field of chunks for a minute. Each Tier adds a ring of chunks and half a minute, up to fifteen by fifteen chunks for four minutes at Tier 7.

    Keeping it fed​

    When about one second remains, a Memento drinks a matching-Tier block set above the diamond again, or a Tier block from an Aether Chest in that seat, and renews itself. Clicking the diamond never adds time. Stock the seat to keep the land awake for long stretches.

    Breaking the pattern ends the Memento.

    Configuration​

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