• T
  Tier block × 13

  Every T is the same block, and that block’s Tier sets the rune’s strength.
• ↑
  Signature block × 4

  Each arm holds a Tier 1+ block other than the Tier block, or stays empty (air or Tier 0). Read by compass direction, the arms spell the rune’s signature.
• 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

Toggle Block forges the family's basic designator. Hold an item that cannot be placed, such as a stick, and right-click the heart. Your Stick drinks the rune (52 designations). The pattern burns away, signature and all.

Right-click blocks with the designator to mark them. The block takes the toggle enchantment. (51 left) Each marked block remembers two shapes, and both are yours to build. Marked blocks that touch and share a signature form a set, and right-clicking any of them swaps the whole set to its other shape.

Tips

Build a hidden door: mark a section of wall, switch it to its second shape, and leave that shape as air. A click opens the wall and another closes it.

See Toggles, locks, and phases for sets, editing shapes, seals, and redstone.

Configuration

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

usage-messages	false	When true, chat reports each use of this toggle/lock family rune.
max-set	8192	Max orthogonally connected cells sharing one signature that this rune may wave (hard-capped at 8192).

Settings by Tier

Setting	Tier 1	Tier 2	Tier 3	Tier 4	Tier 5	Tier 6	Tier 7
charges-by-tier Charges granted per pattern Tier (1 = Tier 1 … 7 = Tier 7). Edit this table to override the baked default pool.	52	114	262	655	1703	4598	13794
