Altar Power and Core Blocks

The Altar is the heart of any witch's workshop. It provides the energy (ME - Magic Energy) required for the Distillery, Kettle, and Circle Magic.

Building the Altar

The Altar is a 2x3 multiblock structure made of six Altar blocks. Once placed, it must be covered with a red, white, or purple carpet to function. Its power capacity and recharge rate are determined by the variety of nature nearby (leaves, grass, crops, wood).
