Runes and runebook

Mark locations on amethyst runes, teleport with Recall, open gates with Gate Travel, and manage multiple runes in a runebook.

Runes are amethyst shards that store a single world location. Once a rune is marked with the Mark spell, you can use it with Recall to teleport instantly, or with Gate Travel to open a bidirectional portal for others to walk through.

Creating a blank rune

Blank runes are made by combining a Teleport scroll with an amethyst shard inside your inventory — no crafting table needed.

1. Pick up the Teleport scroll

   Hold a Teleport scroll on your cursor (click it in your inventory).

2. Click the amethyst shard

   Click an Amethyst Shard in your inventory while holding the scroll. You can also do this in reverse — pick up the shard and click the scroll.

3. Receive the blank rune

   The scroll and shard are consumed and replaced with one Blank Rune. The conversion always succeeds.

Sourcing the materials

Material	How to obtain
Teleport scroll	Mob drops (Witch, etc.), End City chests, Trial Chamber vaults, or /scribe teleport
Amethyst Shard	Mine Amethyst Clusters inside Amethyst Geodes (drops 4 shards per cluster)

Marking a rune

Use the Mark spell to record a location onto a blank rune.

1. Hold the blank rune

   Place the Blank Rune in your main hand.

2. Cast Mark

   Run /cast mark. You need the Mark spell in your spellbook (or a Mark scroll), the reagents (Ender Pearl ×1, Blaze Powder ×1), and 5 mana.

3. Click a location

   During the TARGETING phase, left-click any block. The clicked location is recorded onto the rune.

4. Name the rune

   The game prompts you to type a name in chat within 10 seconds. If you do not respond, the rune is named automatically using the world name and coordinates.

The rune’s lore updates to show the stored location:

[Rune]
Location:   Home
Coords:     X:100 Y:64 Z:-200
World:      world
Marked by:  Steve

Recall

Recall teleports you instantly to the location stored in a marked rune.

With spellbook

1. Hold the marked rune

   Place the marked rune in your main hand.
2. Cast Recall

   Run /cast recall.
3. Instant teleport

   No targeting phase — you teleport immediately after the cast time expires. Reagents: Ender Pearl ×1; Mana: 5.

With scroll

1. Set up both hands

   Main hand: Recall scroll. Off-hand: marked rune.
2. Right-click

   Right-click to use the scroll. No spellbook or reagents required.

Gate Travel

Gate Travel opens a bidirectional portal between your current position and the rune location. Any player can walk through either portal entrance.

With spellbook

1. Hold the marked rune

   Place the marked rune in your main hand.
2. Cast Gate Travel

   Run /cast gate.
3. Portals open

   A portal spawns 2 blocks in front of you and a second portal appears at the rune’s location. Both are active for 30 seconds. Reagents: Ender Pearl ×2, Blaze Powder ×1; Mana: 7.

With scroll

1. Set up both hands

   Main hand: Gate Travel scroll. Off-hand: marked rune.
2. Right-click

   Right-click to use the scroll. The portal duration is the same 30 seconds.

Gate Travel portals are bidirectional. Players near either portal are teleported to the other side when they step into it.

Runebook

The runebook holds up to 16 marked runes in a GUI and lets you Recall or open a Gate Travel directly from the book without moving runes between your hands.

Obtaining a runebook

Buy a runebook from a level-3 librarian villager for 40–60 emeralds.

Adding runes

Open the runebook (right-click while holding it). The GUI shows 16 rune slots. Drag and drop marked runes into empty slots. Only marked runes (runes that contain location data) can be registered — blank runes and other items are rejected.

Runebook controls

Action	Result
Left-click a rune slot	Take the rune out of the book
Right-click a rune slot	Start a Recall cast to that rune’s location
Shift + right-click a rune slot	Start a Gate Travel cast to that rune’s location
Drag & drop	Move runes between slots (normal chest behaviour)
Shift + left-click	Quickly move a rune to or from your inventory

Casting requirements from the runebook

Using the runebook does not waive reagent or mana costs. Both spells check your inventory and mana just like a normal cast.

Spell	Mana	Reagents
Recall (from runebook)	5	Ender Pearl ×1
Gate Travel (from runebook)	7	Ender Pearl ×2, Blaze Powder ×1

Cast time is identical to a normal Recall or Gate Travel. Moving during the cast phase will interrupt the spell and consume mana.
