Arcane Blocks & Traps – Divinitite Tier Magic
Once you reach the Divinitite alloy, you will be able to create a series of powerful blocks. Originally, these blocks were meant for traps and games; however, they can also be used for everyday use.
The Arcane Blocks give the player buffs, positive, negative, or neutral. They cover all the Minecraft standard effects as well as several new ones. By using the trap concealer tool, you can hide the Arcane blocks so they are hidden among your build.
When redstone signals are applied to arcane blocks or the Power Precision Block is next to an Arcane Block, it will increase the power of the Arcane to a max of 15. Other wise the power precision blocks basic function is to output redstone signals
Upgrading the Arcane blocks will allow you to create Cursed blocks. These blocks have multiple effects and work in a set area carefully, where you place them; you might need the protection of the void?
