This is the online version of the Hex Gloop documentation.

Glooptastic Changes

I have noticed some absolutely glooptastic changes in the world recently.

For one, it's much easier to visualize patterns. I can even hear something like "\<southeast,deaqq>" and visualize it perfectly as <southeast,deaqq>. Additionally, I can hover over these patterns to get a better view of them, or click to copy them for later.

I've also been finding it easier to flip through my notes. Pressing Open Iota Wheel allows me to visualize my spellbook, and I can flip through it quickly with Scroll Spellbook Down and Scroll Spellbook Up.

By far the strangest change is that my hexes feel different, almost like they're vibrating through my bones. Perhaps a sensitive enough scanner could pick up on this?

I've noticed that it's recently become easier to reference these notes while casting, pressing Open Hex Book causes my book to fly open right to the page I left it.

The book also seems,, friendlier. When I'm on a page with a pattern and touch it to a hanging scroll, it copies the pattern onto the scroll. It even seems to get the page based on which hand I'm holding it in.

I've also discovered that I can apply dye to my staffs if I want to make them more colorful.

Casting Ring

I do love my staff, but occasionally I find myself needing a lighter casting instrument.

The casting ring, when equipped, let's me open up a staff free casting grid by pressing Use Casting Ring. I find my grid reduced without the reach of my staff, but still, this may be a worthwhile trade-off.

Casting Ring

I've noticed that my hexes prefer to use items in my offhand, perhaps this will be useful with both of my hands free?

Caster's Coin

With my truename being so valuable, it'd be nice to have a safer way to barter against it. These coins should do the trick. I can write to it like a focus but it can only be read in once per coin. I've documented a few patterns here that can be used to check who wrote the coin.

Caster's Coin

Covered Spellbook

I've been thinking my spellbooks could use a splash of color. Fashioning a cover for them allows me to dye them. The netherite used in the binding makes it fire proof as well.

Applying the cover doesn't disturb any of the spells written on its pages. I haven't found a good way to remove the cover yet though..

Gloopy Staffs

I've drawn out some designs for new staffs. These certainly have a different style about them, but they function just the same

Amethyst On A Stick

Hex Snacks

Hexxing can really work up an appetite, luckily I found some snacks !

Thought Gummy

The Thought Gummy makes for a nice little snack on the go. It has a trace amount of media, but probably isn't the best trinket filler.

Hexxy-O's

Part of a mindful breakfast

Hexxed Glass

A block of amethyst dust is basically magic sand right ? Well it smelts like it atleast. Strangely, my raycasts seem to pass right through it.

Sentinel Bed

Sentinel Bed

A comfy bed for my sentinel, it always seems eager to return to it. Cats seem to find it cozy as well.

Slate Chest

Slate Chest

A slate strengthened chest. It has slightly more storage space than a normal chest.

Gloopy Slate Chest

A slate and gloop strengthened chest. It has the storage space of two regular chests.

I wonder if it may have more uses yet to be discovered?

Casting Potion

I've found that brewing amethyst dust (or any pigment) into a thick potion will give me a potion that is able to channel media into casting hexes.

I can craft the potion using the Craft Potion spell.

Fidgets

I've happened upon the most joyous of devices !

These devices, which I've been calling fidgets, help me channel my thoughts into a form detectable in my hexes. I can interact with them in much the same way as I would with a spellbook, minus the iota storage of course. For accessing these thoughts, see the section on Mind's Orchard

Pen Fidget

A simple device that only toggles between two states. It has a nice clicky noise though.

Rainbow Amogus Pop It Fidget

At first I was suspicious of this item, but I have now ejected all of my concerns. This whimsical device makes the most delightful popping noises, and lets me channel my thoughts through 6 states.

Gloop !

This is glooptastic ! My calculations suggest that under the right conditions, slime and media may form together into a highly reactive and adaptive material.

It'll require a way to energize the reactants and some mechanism to prompt the reaction. I've drafted my schematics for such a device on the following page.

Click to show recipes Click to hide recipes

Energizer

This machine should be strong enough to channel the media through nearby water and into my reactants. I can use a device such as a hopper to feed media in. It should consume about 1 dust per second while active and draw 10 dust for a reaction.

Now I just need a way to trigger the reaction.. perhaps I can look up to nature for a strike of inspiration ?

My research suggests that 3 slime balls, 3 charged amethyst, and 1 amethyst shard should react to form some gloop.

The adaptive nature of this gloop leads me to believe there may be other forms out there to be discovered...

I've recently discovered a new form of gloop, I've been calling is synchronous gloop, and it seems to be able to react across great distances. It can be made in an energizer with 3 slime balls, 3 charged amethyst, and 1 ender pearl.

Trinkety Foci

I have been overcome by a strong desire to accessorize. These trinkets act just like normal foci but I can wear them and use the Trinkety Focus Patterns

[Gloopy Dev Note: you need trinkets on fabric or curios on forge to wear these. You can still use them as foci otherwise though]

Focal Pendant

A fashionable pendant, good for iotas you want to keep close to your heart.

Focal Ring

A ring forged from the strongest nether metals. For the most important iotas.

Gloop Dye

I've found that mixing my own dye colors is quite tedious and it would be nice to have something more precise.

With this gloop dye I should be able to pick any color I'd like for using with items like leather armor or my staffs. I can pick the color by using Scribe's Gambit to write a vector holding rgb values between 0-255.

Using the dye will cost media, but I can recharge it like I would a trinket.

Gloop Dye

so many colors!

Gloopifact

Gloop seems to be good at holding and manipulating iotas, so perhaps it'd work well as a part of a casting device.

The gloopifact is very similar to an artifact, just,, much gloopier. Its netherite bindings appear to make it fire resistant, no more losing my tools to nether mishaps.

The focus at its core remains accessible for normal use, though my hexes will still prefer any iota source in my other hand. I've documented a set of patterns, very similar to other iota manipulation patterns, that instead target its internal focus.

I've also found that its ravenmind is much more malleable and documented patterns that allow it to communicate with my staffcasting ravenmind.

Except for crafting, these patterns only work when cast by a gloopifact

Hand Mirror

A hexxed hand mirror, it will reflect any item entity written to it. Using a pedestal to hold my item may be convenient.

Unlike other reflections, which can only be touched by my hexes, the reflections from the hand mirror have a physicality to them that lets me use them as if they were really in my hand.

Hand Mirror

Multi Focus

I can feel the gloop pulling at my mind, maybe I can pull back?

A gloop constructed multi focus should let me hold multiple iotas in a single item and access them quickly with Open Iota Wheel, sort of like a smaller spellbook. For more organizational techniques I should check my notes on labels

Multi Focus

I can almost hear it purring..

Inventorty

I have found the cutest little kitten ! It seems to quite like sitting in my pockets, playing with items. Perhaps I can teach it to do so in a more helpful manner ?

I've taught it to cast ! I can give it a list of patterns to cast when pet in my inventory, a similar motion to using a bundle strangely enough. The stack of these casts will start with some additional information, first a boolean for if I'm holding the inventorty and then a number indicating the inventory slot it's in or looking at.

There are a number of patterns that can only be cast from an inventorty, many of them refer to a 'slot' type. This isn't an actual iota type but a shorthand for iotas that refer to a slot the inventorty can access:

Non-negative numbers reference a specific slot in the open screen by their index. Slots in a separate inventory, such as a chest, are marked by their index + the inventory index * 1000.

Item Entities near the caster.

-2 for the inventory cursor slot

-1000*(inventory index + 1) for the first available destination slot in that inventory.

The great power of Creativity can make the cat quite sleepy.

Pedestal

I always seem to lose track of my dropped items.

The pedestal can hold a single item stack in place for me. This item stack is locked in place but my hexes can still interact with it as if it were dropped on the ground. It appears to pick up items dropped on it and respond how I would expect to devices such as hoppers.

I sense these pedestals may have more magic about them..

Mirrored Pedestal

The mirrored panels inlayed in the pedestal allow me to bind myself to it and see its reflection

Addons

I've heard tales of a number of additional hex disciplines. This link seems like a good reference for a list of all of them, as well as external tools, datapacks, and more

Misc Gloop

Hotbar Manipulation

Labels

Although my current system lets me flip through my notes quickly, it would be nice to have a way to label them.

This system should let me label my pages using iotas. I've recorded all the label types that I've found on the following page

number/string

patterns

items (from an entity or relevant hexal iotas)

entities

null (to clear it)

Mind's Orchard

I've found that if I can hold a concrete enough idea in my mind then I can use these patterns to pick it into my hexes. Something like a fidget should help me channel my thoughts.

The value stored in my orchard will always be a list with atleast one number. I haven't yet found a way to store multiple numbers in this list though..

Redstone

Trinkety Foci Patterns

These patterns are useful for interacting with Trinkety Foci. Generally they behave very similarly to the other reading and writing patterns.

Truename Protection

I've known that my truename can give others access to me, but my research suggests that there's a way for them to use it to cast as me as well.

Although this is worrying, I've found a way to protect myself from its effects, I've documented this on the following pages.

Craft Casting Potion

Reflections

These mirrors, made from hexxed glass and synchronous gloop, seem to allow my hexes to act on items in the mirror's reflection as if they were in my other hand. Using a scrying lens shows the reflected item in my hand.
