Pocket Rift

Quickstart

1. Gather a Compass and 3 Ender Pearls, then craft a Rift Compass:

1. Hold the Rift Compass and right-click to open a Rift at your location — or run /rift start if you prefer a command.
2. Survive three waves of enemies. Watch your action bar for live wave, timer, and enemy-count updates.
3. Collect your Void Shards reward when the final wave is cleared.

Overview

Pocket Rift turns any spot in your world into a compact survival arena. Right-clicking a Rift Compass (or typing a single command) kicks off a timed gauntlet of escalating enemy waves right where you stand. Beat all three waves and walk away with Void Shards. Leave the arena or switch dimensions and the run collapses — so fight smart and stay put.

How To Use

Starting a Run

• Right-click while holding the Rift Compass, or type /rift start.
• The Rift anchors to your current position and dimension. You must stay inside the arena area — wandering too far or changing dimension collapses the run.

During a Run

• Your action bar continuously shows the current wave number, time remaining, and how many enemies are still alive.
• Defeat all enemies in a wave to advance to the next one.

Abilities And Mechanics

The Three Waves

Pocket Rift uses three escalating waves, each harder than the last:

• Wave 1 & 2 — Glowing zombies and skeletons with increasing numbers and difficulty.
• Wave 3 (Final) — The same hostile mix joined by an Enderman, making the last wave the most dangerous.

All enemies spawn with the Glowing effect, so they are always visible through terrain — there is nowhere to hide, and neither are they.

Arena Boundaries

Your run is locked to the position and dimension where it started. If you step outside the arena area or travel to another dimension, the run immediately collapses and is lost. No reward is granted for a collapsed run.

Replaying

After a run ends — whether by victory, collapse, or forfeit — you are free to start a brand-new run immediately using the compass or /rift start again.

Progression And Strategy

• Use /rift kit to get a starter loadout if you don't yet have gear ready for a run.
• Position yourself in an open area with good sight lines before triggering the Rift — cramped spaces make the Enderman on Wave 3 especially dangerous.
• The Glowing effect on enemies is a double-edged sword: you can always see them, but it also removes the element of surprise if they surround you from multiple angles.
• Void Shards are your measure of success. Stack up runs to accumulate them as you improve your strategy and speed.
