How it works

Gyre turns an island a quarter turn on the spot. Build the gold-and-iron wheel on the island around an emerald block or a redstone block, and right-click that key. An emerald turns the island clockwise, a redstone block turns it counterclockwise. Skyhold turns ninety degrees. The wheel remains.

The pattern stays, so you can turn the island again a second later. Click sooner and the island waits. The ship is still settling from its last Gyre.

Good to know

• The island turns about its centre column.
• It will not turn through active Transport Rings or a Domain you do not hold.
• A block of diamond on the island pins it in place.
• A Danger Ward keeps Gyre cold inside its sphere.

See Faith islands.

Configuration

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

Setting	Default	What it does
animate	true	When true, the island moves over multiple ticks. When false, it relocates in one step.
volumetric-transfer	true	When animate is on, scale transfer duration to moved block volume. When false, the wave uses a fixed 2-second (40-tick) duration.
glass-shells	true	When true, a temporary glass shell appears around the island while it turns.
blocks-per-tick	250	Blocks moved per game tick while the transfer is animated.
cooldown-ticks	20	Ticks before the same faith island may Gyre again.
