Runecraft Tutorial

New Users
You MUST first build this:



Build it exactly as show in the image, then right click the fire with your hand.

After you have used the rune above:
Now you should see an energy bar at the top of your screen, burn items in lava or fire to gain energy, this energy is used to use runes. Though at the moment it's so easy to get infinite energy don't worry about it too much, just burn some garbage.

Building and using runes:
CLICK HERE to see all the runes available. Click "show" next to the name of the rune to see how to build the one you want. Click on its name to see what it does and how to activate it. This usually requires some tool or item you click it with.

If you see it say "tier block" then this block can be anything BUT NOT THESE:



For some runes the higher tier the block is the better the effect of the rune. You can see all the tiers by CLICKING HERE. Not all runes become better when using a higher tier blocks, check the rune you're going to use if you should use better tier, if not then just use cobblestone.

Now my hoe has a rune in it I don't want it!
Once you activate a rune it gets enchanted on your tool and you can give it to someone else or trade it and it will stay. To get rid of the enchantment in your tool (like farmer's charm in your hoe) use this rune: Write the name of the rune (should say on your tool) on the sign and right click it.

Tips:
You can destroy waypoints if they're near your property to prevent people teleporting to you and harrasing/killing you. Try not to destroy every random WP you find in the wild but I won't put it against you.

You can place waypoints underground and they will teleport you up to the first free block (or at least it works with 1 layer of ground on top of it)
