Frequently asked questions

How do I get my first wisp?
Wisps spawn naturally at Slipways, which are underground structures you can find while mining. You can capture them using the appropriate wisp-catching item, or they'll despawn after a while if left alone.
What's the difference between linking wisps and just casting spells myself?
Linked wisps can cast spells remotely and continuously without you being present, and they can perform calculations or relay information between each other. This lets you automate complex tasks or run spell sequences from a distance.
How do I make a wisp cast a specific spell?
You need to create a hex pattern and transmit it to the wisp—either by casting it near a captured wisp, or by linking wisps together so one can send the pattern to another. The wisp will then execute that spell if it has enough mana.
Can wisps run out of mana? How do I refuel them?
Yes, wisps consume mana when casting spells. You can restore their mana by exposing them to mana sources or by having them absorb mana from nearby blocks, depending on your setup.
What are comparison patterns used for?
Comparison patterns let you check if two blocks, entities, or data types are the same, which is useful for sorting, filtering, or triggering conditional logic in your automated systems.
How do I automate smelting with this mod?
Set up wisps to cast the Smelt spell on items or blocks in a specific area, and link them to a pattern that continuously triggers the spell. You'll need to manage mana supply and ensure items are positioned where the spell can affect them.
Do wisps interfere with other mods' automation?
Wisps work alongside other mods since they interact with the world through standard Minecraft mechanics, but complex interactions depend on how the other mod handles block updates and entity behavior.
Can I use patterns to get information about the time or weather?
Yes, Hexal includes patterns that read the current time and environmental data from the world, which you can use in conditional logic or transmit to wisps for time-based automation.
What happens if I link too many wisps together?
Linking many wisps increases the complexity of your system and can make it harder to debug, but there's no hard limit—performance depends on how many spells they're casting and how often.
How do I know if a wisp is actually linked and receiving my patterns?
Linked wisps show a visual connection between them, and you can test the link by casting a simple pattern nearby to see if the receiving wisp responds or executes the spell.
