About Runix

Runix is a Forge mod for Minecraft that uses block patterns to invoke magical effects that rearrange blocks in the world.

Runes are Shapes made from different blocks
When you right click on the center block of a rune, the game tries to identify a shape around that center block. Most runes use "Ink" to define the primary shape. Waypoint and Teleporter  for example are almost entirely Ink blocks. This means that they can be made from any block, as long as the block is consistent the whole way through the rune. Runes may also require a specific block, such as Ferrous Wheel whose perimeter must be made of Iron Ore. Most runes, like Runecraft, mix a required block (Gold Ore) with an Ink block whose value determines how powerful the rune is.

Please note that shape checking only uses BlockID and  not meta value. This means that wool runes cannot overlap (the waypoints on the right are invalid). However, this does allow you to make a rune out of mixed colors of wool or wood in order to blend in with a textured floor. Furthermore, while Runes (and key blocks) can be made out of non-conducting natural materials like stone or sand, it's not recommended since you won't be able to move them with conductance. On the other hand, a rune made out of Grass and Dirt is a great way to make a rune temporary.

Legacy Notes
The Runix project started from a group of people playing on the Weaver Runecraft server. They all greatly enjoy Runecraft and have built many awesome structures with it. However, Runix is not Runecraft. Runix takes some of the ideas from Runecraft with Superllama's blessing. The code is completely new. Runix will not be backwards-compatible with Runecraft worlds. Not all Runecraft runes will have a correspondence in Runix. Runix focuses more on the mass block movers like Faithand Rubric, and less on gear bonuses that are better covered by other mods. In addition, Runix adds adventure components like Dungeons and Mobs.
