Staff of Attunement
The Staff of Attunement is a handheld multitool used for manipulating blocks in this mod.
Binding
The Staff of Attunement is used to bind Cognitium-consuming blocks to a nearby Experience Obelisk. As Cognitium-consuming blocks don't have an internal fluid container of their own, this is required for their operation as you cannot deliver Cognitium to them with pipes.
Shift-right-click an Obelisk with the Staff of Attunement in order to save its location to the staff. Afterwards, shift-right-click the target block to bind it to the saved obelisk. This binding can be removed by shift-right clicking the block again. The saved obelisk can be cleared from the staff by right-clicking in air.
The maximum binding range is 48 blocks. However, long-range wireless transfer of XP is planned in the future.
Querying
Blocks can also be right-clicked with the Staff of Attunement to gain some information. Cognitium-consuming blocks will display the location of the Obelisk that they are bound to, whilst other blocks will display some useful information about their current state.
Rotation
Certain blocks, such as the accelerators, can be rotated by right-clicking them with the Staff of Attunement.
Toggling Behavior
Other blocks may have their redstone sensitivity, activity, or other behaviors toggled on or off by shift-right-clicking them with the Staff of Attunement.
Enlightened Amulet
The Enlightened Amulet is an item that, when active, vacuums up all XP orbs in a set radius and combines them into a single orb at the player's position. This makes collecting large amounts of orbs far faster, and allows you to collect orbs through solid blocks. As of v2.3.6, the amulet will ignore orbs spawned by Fountains. This can be toggled in the config file.
The amulet is active anywhere in your inventory and can be activated and inactivated by shift-right-clicking while it is in your hand. The default range of the amulet is 8 blocks but this can be edited in the config file.
Additionally, the amulet can be worn in the necklace slot if Curios API is installed.
Cognitive Toolset
Cognitive tools give you +1 extra entity and block reach. They also have the same attack damage and mining speed as diamond tools. However, they have the same mining level as iron tools (meaning you can't collect obsidian with them), and about half the durability of diamond tools.
These are crafted by smithing iron tools with Cognitive Alloy with an Astute Assembly as a template.
Cognitive Armorset
Cognitive Armor is tougher than iron, and each piece gives the player +0.5 extra entity and block reach. They are crafted the same way as the Cognitive Toolset.
Cognitive Rod & Cognitive Shears
These tools are exactly the same in function as their vanilla equivalent, except with extra reach similar to the rest of the Cognitive set. They also come with far greater durability than their vanilla counterparts.
Bibliophages
Forgotten Dust
Forgotten dust is a byproduct left behind after Bibliophages have finished consuming a bookshelf. Alternatively, forgotten dust has a 50% chance of dropping from breaking any infected bookshelf. It is used in the crafting of a variety of items. Otherwise, it may be used as fuel in a furnace.
