✨ Create a runeword

A runeword is a sequence of gems that awakens a new power. We will make Bloodquake: Blood Opal then Shockwave Rune. Kills then split the ground.

The file

Create runewords/bloodquake.yml. It uses the gems of the earlier tutorials.

name: '<gradient:#e0115f:#ffb347>Bloodquake</gradient>'
sequence: [blood_opal, shockwave]
description:
  - '<gray>Kills split the ground: <white>8</white> damage around you'
aura:
  particle: DUST
  color: '#e0115f'
  color2: '#ffb347'
activators:
  quake:
    option: PLAYER_KILL_ENTITY
    silenceOutput: true
    detailedSlots: [-1]
    playerCommands:
      - 'eg fx shockwave %player% 5 #e0115f'
      - 'execute at %player% run playsound minecraft:entity.warden.attack_impact player @a ~ ~ ~ 1.2 0.7'
      - 'MOB_AROUND distance:5 displayMsgIfNoEntity:false throughBlocks:false DAMAGE 8'

• sequence is the list of gem ids, in socket order.
• aura is the particles around the player who holds the item. Use two colours for a gradient.
• activators are normal activators. A runeword has no level, so write the numbers directly.

Test it

/eg reload
/give @s netherite_sword
/eg sockets YourName 2

Then socket the gems at a forge or in your inventory, so the awakening plays:

/eg give YourName blood_opal 1
/eg give YourName shockwave 1

Blood Opal first, Shockwave second. At level 1 the chance of success is 97%.

Hide or show it

A new runeword shows as ??? in the Codex until someone awakens it. To change this, set runewords.hidden-until-discovered to false in config.yml. To hide everything again:

/eg discoveries reset
