Astral Control Helm

Quickstart

1. Open your crafting table — the recipe is unlocked automatically when you join.
2. Craft the helm:

1. Equip it in your helmet slot. The moment it is worn, a private pocket-dimension copy of your current chunk opens around you, flight becomes available, and a subtle jump boost kicks in.
2. Press the Toggle Astral Mode keybind (check Controls) to engage the helm's flight. Unequip the helm to land.
3. Open your inventory while wearing the helm to access the Helm Control Panel — your main hub for every ability described below. Hold Shift while opening it for a compact radial layout instead.

Overview

The Astral Control Helm is a single helmet item that transforms the wearer into a near-omnipotent builder and observer. It combines powerful armor stats, a private pocket dimension, flight, X-ray, time control, block editing, vanish, Astral Clones, and Infinity Ore resource nodes — all toggled through an in-inventory control panel and a set of configurable keybinds.

What It Adds

---

Abilities And Mechanics

Armor Stats

The helm provides heavy protection (8 armor points), 4.0 toughness, and 0.05 knockback resistance. It is repaired with Iron Ingots.

Pocket Dimension

Equipping the helm instantly places you inside a private pocket-dimension copy of your current chunk. Other players do not share this space. Removing the helm exits the pocket dimension.

Flight

Press the Toggle Astral Mode keybind to enable or disable flight while the helm is equipped. Removing the helm cancels flight immediately.

Jump Boost

A subtle passive jump boost is applied whenever the helm is worn — no action required.

Void Safety

If you take out-of-world or void damage, you are teleported to your personal spawn (or world spawn if none is set). The teleport cancels the void damage entirely.

Helm Control Panel

Open your inventory while wearing the helm. The panel appears and provides the following controls:

Hold Shift when opening your inventory for the compact radial layout of these same controls.

Astral Construction (Falling Block Anchoring)

While wearing the helm you can anchor falling blocks (sand, gravel, etc.) suspended in mid-air. Any non-helm player who touches an anchored block releases it. Press Release Frozen Blocks (default G) to release all your anchored blocks at once.

Astral Time Stop

Using the time control features in the panel freezes all entities in the world in place (position, velocity, and gravity locked). Helm wearers and Astral Clones are immune to the freeze. Releasing time restores all frozen entities and zeroes their velocity.

Astral Clones

Astral Clones are full physical entities spawned by the helm. They:

• Have a realistic player-sized hitbox (0.6 × 1.8), normal gravity, full collision, and are affected by knockback.
• Render using your player skin (including slim model support).
• Despawn automatically if you die, unequip the helm, change dimensions, or enter a pocket dimension.

Infinity Ore & Infinite Resource Nodes

Astral Infinite Ore is a consumable block item. Place it in the world to create an Infinite Resource Node that provides an endless supply of its material. To permanently destroy a placed node, point at it and press the Break Astral Infinite Ore Anchor keybind (default B). Mining it with a pickaxe (iron tool or better required) without the keybind does not permanently remove the anchor.

World Edit Commands

While wearing the helm, a full set of in-chat world-editing commands becomes available. Type them directly in chat:

• Selection: /wand, /pos1, /pos2, /hpos1, /hpos2, /chunk
• Resize selection: /expand, /contract, /shift, /outset, /inset
• Fill & replace: /set, /replace, /overlay, /walls, /outline, /faces, /center, /line, /curve
• Shapes: /sphere, /hsphere, /cyl, /hcyl, /pyramid, /hpyramid
• Nature: /forest [radius], /flora [radius], /smooth, /naturalize, /snow, /drain, /fixwater, /fixlava
• Clipboard: /copy, /cut, /paste, /rotate <degrees>, /flip [axis], /move, /stack
• Schematics: /schem save <name>, /schem load <name>, /schem list
• Utility: /undo, /redo, /clearhistory, /limit <blocks>, /gmask, /deform, /toggleplace

The wand (/wand) gives you a Wooden Axe marked as the Astral World Edit Tool. Left-click a block to set Position 1; right-click to set Position 2.

Note: The helm grants temporary in-game operator-level power for these commands only. Permanent operator changes (/op, /deop) and /stop are blocked even while wearing the helm.

Progression And Strategy

• Early on: Craft the helm as soon as you have Iron Ingots, a Lightning Rod, Redstone, Tinted Glass, Observers, and an Eye of Ender. Recipes are unlocked automatically on joining — check your recipe book.
• Exploration: Enable Astral X-Ray to survey underground areas before mining, then use Reality Rewrite to harvest valuable blocks instantly with full Survival drops.
• Building: Use the Pocket Dimension as a private staging area, the world-edit commands to sculpt terrain rapidly, and Astral Clones as physical stand-ins or decorative figures.
• Resource generation: Place Astral Infinite Ore nodes in a safe location for a permanent material supply. Keep the B keybind in mind — it is the only way to permanently remove a node you no longer want.
• Time control: Freeze time via the panel to pause hostile mobs while you work, then resume when you are ready to engage or move on.
