Palantir

(Not affiliated with the evil company Palantir.)

Create a Palantir, as cavemen did: hammer a temporal gear into a chunk of quartz, hold it there with a bone, and trace a rune in your own blood.

Recording locations
Carry the Palantir with you. When you reach a place worth remembering, place it on the ground and right-click — your position is saved. Repeat anywhere you like.

Sharing the visions
Place the Palantir down, eat some shrooms, and right-click it while tripping. Your spirit drifts, ghost-like, through each saved location for 15 seconds at a time — long enough for the chunks to load and to look around in flight. You can't touch anything, but you can still die out there. Beware.

Wiping the memory
Rub the Palantir with a piece of linen for 10 seconds. Every saved waypoint is erased and the stone is ready to be reused.

Bear vision
- Wear a bear-hide helmet
- Hold a bone in your main hand
- Eat shrooms
- Use a Palantir

If there is a live bear in the nearby loaded chunks, you will see through its eyes for 30 seconds. Commune with the beast. Prepare for the hunt — or learn to avoid it.

K's Cartography Table integration
- Drop a manual Palantir waypoint on your map using the Palantir icon
- Eat shrooms
- Use a Palantir on a K's Cartography Table

 

 

The visions will carry you to those locations — useful for scouting ground you've never set foot on.

▎ Note: this feature requires K's Cartography Table v2.0.0 or later.
