How it works

Topsy Turvy turns the world over. Wake it, and the sphere of terrain around the rune flips across the plane the rune was drawn on. On a floor, the ground flips skyward and the sky falls below. On a wall, the two sides of the wall trade places. The world turns over — a sphere of radius 7 inverted.

Every block lands at its mirror, turned to suit, so stairs, doors, and slabs face the right way after the flip. Players and creatures inside the sphere move with the land.

Tier	1	2	3	4	5	6	7
Radius	4	6	7	8	10	11	23

Good to know

• Bound magic rides along: designations, toggles, wards, and other bindings are carried to their new places.
• Bedrock and other unbreakable blocks stay put.
• It refuses to flip a sphere that would cross the world's height limit, or a Domain you do not hold.
• The pattern has two forms, with the iron and the Tier blocks swapped. Both work on floors and walls.
• It stays cold inside a Danger Ward.

Configuration

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