Unlocking The Ender Io Travel Block: A Step-By-Step Guide

The Ender IO block is a magical block that is the heart of the EnderIO mod. It allows players to see and interact with a 7x7x7 or 17x17 area with the Ender IO block in the centre. Players can press buttons, switch levers, access chests and open GUIs of the machines in the accessible area. The Ender IO block can be accessed by right-clicking in its direction with the Staff of Travelling or atop a Travel Anchor. The chunk with the Ender IO block must be loaded in order to get access to it. The Ender IO block has a privacy mode that can be set to Public, Protected, or Private. The original placer of the block can always use it, but in Protected mode, a 5-digit item password must be entered.

Using the Staff of Travelling

The Staff of Travelling is a useful tool in the Ender IO mod for Minecraft. It allows the player to teleport a short distance (approximately 10 blocks) by holding down the shift key and right-clicking. This can even be done through walls, making it a handy tool for early-game players. The Staff of Travelling also allows players to jump to Travel Anchors, providing access to the Ender IO.

To use the Staff of Travelling effectively, there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, it has a cost associated with each use, typically a few thousand rf. Secondly, the default configuration sets the teleportation range at 48 blocks, but this can be adjusted in the settings.

The Staff of Travelling can be used in conjunction with Travel Anchors to access the Ender IO block. The Ender IO block allows players to remotely interact with nearby blocks within a 17x17 area, with the Ender IO block as the central block. To activate this remote viewing, players must right-click in the direction of the Ender IO block while holding the Staff of Travelling or right-click on a Travel Anchor.

It is worth noting that while the Ender IO block provides remote access, it has some limitations. For example, inventories like chests or other Ender IO machines cannot be accessed remotely. Additionally, the chunk containing the Ender IO block must be loaded for it to function properly.

Right-clicking with the Staff

It is important to note that the Ender IO block has a maximum distance, and players must be within this range for the Staff of Traveling to work. Additionally, the chunk containing the Ender IO block must be loaded for it to function properly.

The Staff of Traveling can be synced with the Ender IO block, allowing players to connect to it from anywhere within the maximum distance. This can be done by placing an image of the staff in the Ender IO's GUI. However, some players have reported issues with syncing, and it may only work within render distance.

The Ender IO block also has a privacy mode that can be set to "Public", "Protected", or "Private". By default, it is set to "Public", allowing anyone to use it. The "Private" mode restricts access to the original placer of the block, while the "Protected" mode requires a 5-digit item password to be entered by new users.

The Staff of Traveling, therefore, provides players with remote access and interaction capabilities with the Ender IO block and its surrounding area. However, it is essential to be within the block's range and ensure the chunk is loaded for optimal functionality.

Using a Travel Anchor

The Ender IO Travel Anchor is a block added by the Ender IO mod. It allows players to instantly teleport between two blocks of this kind. Here are some tips for using a Travel Anchor:

• Viewing Travel Anchors: When standing on a Travel Anchor or holding a Staff of Traveling, players can see all other Travel Anchors within an approximately 50-block radius, through other blocks. This viewing ability provides a limited amount of interaction, such as opening and using GUIs and items like levers.
• Travel Mechanics: To travel between Travel Anchors, players must jump while standing on one Travel Anchor and look at the other Travel Anchor they want to teleport to. Alternatively, with the Staff of Traveling, players can right-click on the desired Anchor to teleport.
• Crafting: The Travel Anchor can be crafted, but it has no known uses in crafting.
• Privacy Settings: Travel Anchors have three privacy settings: Public, Protected, and Private. The Public setting allows anyone to use the Travel Anchor, while the Private setting restricts it to the original placer of the block. In Protected mode, a 5-digit item password must be entered by anyone other than the original placer to use the Anchor.
• Range Limitations: While Travel Anchors can be used for long-distance teleportation, their effectiveness depends on chunk loading. Additionally, there may be limitations on the maximum distance between anchors for teleportation to work.
• Issues and Workarounds: Some players have reported issues with Travel Anchors not functioning as expected, such as inventories not opening or The Ender not activating the anchors. These issues may be related to latency, tick rate, or mod conflicts. Workarounds include adding mods like FastCraft to improve performance or adjusting settings and controls.

Setting a privacy mode

To enhance security and restrict access, you can change the privacy mode to either "Protected" or "Private". Setting it to "Private" ensures that only the original placer of the block, i.e., the player who placed the Ender IO block, can use it. This mode is ideal for situations where you want exclusive access to the block and its functionalities.

On the other hand, the "Protected" mode introduces an additional layer of security by requiring a 5-digit item password to be entered for anyone to use the block. However, the original placer of the block is exempt from entering the password and can use it freely. This mode is useful when you want to grant access to trusted individuals while still maintaining some level of security.

To set or change the privacy mode, the Ender IO block has its own GUI, which can be accessed and configured. This GUI interface also allows you to rename the block, making it easier to identify, especially when using multiple Ender IO blocks with Travel Anchors or the Staff of Traveling.

By carefully setting the privacy mode, you can control access to your Ender IO block, ensuring that only authorized individuals can interact with it. This feature provides flexibility, catering to scenarios where you want unrestricted access, exclusive access, or access with an additional layer of security.

Accessing the GUI

To access the GUI of the Ender IO block, you must first sync it with a Staff of Travelling. This will allow you to see and interact with a 7x7x7 area centred on the Ender IO block. You can then open the GUI by right-clicking on the block with the Staff of Travelling.

It is important to note that the Ender IO block must be within render distance or the chunk must be loaded for you to be able to access it. Additionally, you must be within 8 blocks of the Ender IO block for the GUI to open successfully.

The Ender IO block also has a GUI that allows for configuration. Here, you can rename the block to distinguish it from others when using the Staff of Travelling. You can also set a privacy mode: "Public", "Protected", or "Private". The default setting is "Public", which allows anyone to use the Ender IO block. "Private" mode restricts access to the original placer of the block, while "Protected" mode requires a 5-digit item password to be entered by new users.

By right-clicking an item (not a block) into the label slot, you can associate an item with the Ender IO block. This item will then be visible when using the Staff of Travelling, making it easier to identify the block.
