A Keystone-bound fuel chest attended by copper golems: sneak-click to raise it or set its priority. Nearby island magic drinks from it first, as a Reservoir does in a Domain.

How it works

The Wellspring is a fuel chest for the magic on an island, much as a Qixsilver Reservoir feeds a Domain. Two copper golem statues attend a waterlogged chest. Raise it inside an island you own that has an active Keystone, by sneaking and right-clicking the chest. The Wellspring awakens — lowest-Tier fuel will feed your island first.

Fill the chest with Tier blocks. Fuel-burning magic on the island then drinks from it.

Priority

Sneak and right-click the chest to cycle its order: lowest Tier first, highest Tier first, or idle. A plain click opens the chest. Only the owner who raised it may command it.

Good to know

• As the statues' copper weathers, each fuel block goes a little less far, up to 3 percent less when fully oxidized.
• The pattern stays. Breaking it ends the Wellspring. The Wellspring falters — its magic drains away.
• A chest that already holds a Qixsilver Reservoir cannot become a Wellspring.
• Needs Minecraft 1.21.9 or newer.

Configuration

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