Meditation

Sitting down

Press C (or MEDITATE C in the Cultivation tab) to sit cross-legged in lotus. You need firm ground; you cannot meditate in the air, in water, or with a hostile mob closer than 8 blocks.

Moving, attacking, taking damage or sneaking ends your meditation. Sneak to rise on purpose.

Qi gain

While meditating you gather 2 stage Qi per second toward your next stage, multiplied by your Calm (up to 3 times). Your Qi also refills 5 times faster: 2.5 per second instead of 0.5.

Closed eyes and Calm

Once you are seated your eyes close by themselves. Press C while seated to open or close them.

Calm grows only while your eyes are closed: it fills in 2 minutes. With your eyes open it stays where it is. A hostile mob within 16 blocks stops it growing and drains it (a red dot appears on the Calm ring).

Your gain is the base times 1 + 2 x Calm, so from x1 to x3. A ring near the crosshair shows your Calm. Calm resets when you stand up.

Spiritual vision

With your eyes closed the world goes dark. A mortal only sees motes of Qi drifting around, more of them the more Qi you hold.

From Third-Rate Warrior on, you see the blocks around you as blue holographic outlines, and living things as stars: white to blue for passive ones, yellow for neutral ones, red for a mob that targets you. The vision reaches further with each realm, and it goes through walls.

Qi smoke

Everyone around you sees cyan puffs and twinkling specks of Qi rise from your body while you meditate. The more Qi you hold, the stronger the smoke.
