Flight Field

A pedestal that grants true flight in a sphere about itself while fueled. A solid Tier block on the ring starts it; the crowning secondary Tier sets its reach. An Aether Chest can feed it after.

    How it works​

    The Flight Field grants true flight to every player inside its sphere. Leave the sphere and you drift down on slow falling until you touch the ground.

    Two Tier blocks play separate roles:

    • The fuel sits on the base ring and sets how long the field lasts: two and a half minutes per Tier, per block.
    • The crown tops the column and sets the reach, which stays fixed from the moment the field rises.

    Right-click the crown to raise the field. Flight Field raised (radius 16, 450s).

    Fuel​

    When time runs low, the field draws a Qixsilver Reservoir in your Domain, then an Aether Chest on the ring, then the next Tier block on the ring, clockwise. The first raise always needs a real Tier block on the ring, since an Aether Chest cannot start the field.

    Pausing​

    Right-click the crown while the field is up to pause it. Time and fuel wait until you click again. The Flight Field returns (300s remaining, radius 16).

    Breaking the diamond, a stair, or the column tears the field down. The Flight Field falls silent; gravity reasserts itself.
