Nodes
Expand and harden your territory with Lodestone nodes.
Expanding a claim#
Place a Lodestone Node inside your claim to extend it. Each node protects every block within its own 96-block radius. Nodes come from Nether ruins.
Node tiers#
Nodes start at Tier Ø (350 HP). Right-click a node and choose Upgrade to raise its tier.
| Tier | Upkeep | Block HP |
|---|---|---|
| Tier Ø | Starting tier | 350 |
| Tier ɪ | 48 emeralds/day | 750 |
| Tier ɪɪ | 96 emeralds/day | 1,250 |
| Tier ɪɪɪ | 144 emeralds/day | 1,750 |
| Tier ɪv / v | Requires surrounding nodes | Invulnerable |
Unlocking invulnerability#
Surround an area with Tier ɪ nodes or better and the protection inside gets a tier buff. A strong anchor ringed by upgraded nodes reaches invulnerable Tier ɪv+, so raiders must break a node before they can touch your core.
Defend your nodes. Nodes are the first target in any serious raid. Encase them in obsidian and build defenses around them, just like your anchor.
