Crowbar

Binds a stick that pries at the shape of things: left-click chooses a property of the block, right-click turns it.

Pattern​

  • Tier block × 8
    Every T is the same block, and that block’s Tier sets the rune’s strength.
  • Air or a Tier 0 block × 4
    Leave these as air, or fill them with Tier 0 blocks such as dirt or stone.
  • Activation block
    The glowing cell is the one to click.
  • Spent
    Cells with a corner mark are used up when the rune wakes.

How it works​

Crowbar binds a stick that pries at the shape of things, like a debug stick:

  • Left-click a block to choose one of its properties, such as which way it faces, or whether it is open. Crowbar selected "facing" (north). This costs nothing.
  • Right-click the block to turn that property to its next value. Crowbar "facing" to east. Each turn spends one charge.

It can force a stair into a corner shape with no other stairs beside it, tune a note block, and much more.

Good to know​

  • It never offers whether a block is waterlogged, and a few properties and blocks that would skip game progress are off limits. The Crowbar finds nothing to edit on that block.
  • All wooden slabs and stairs in the pattern must share one kind of wood. A second pattern, in black and white concrete, also works on servers that allow it.

Enchantment​

The enchantment is called Crowbar. Hold a stick while you wake the rune.
