3. Craft a Soul Stone from Dreem Dust, select it in your hotbar, and earn experience until the action bar says Soul Stone Charge READY.

How To Use

Interacting with Kella

Interact with Kella using an empty hand to open her request menu. Her options include:

• Ask about locations
  • Find nearby dropped items, including their distance, direction, and coordinates.
  • Check for nearby dangerous mobs.
  • Locate diamonds, gold, emeralds, lava, ancient debris, ancient cities, villages, and cherry biomes.
  • Travel to coordinates in the current dimension.
  • Ask Kella how she is doing.
• Give me blocks
  • Enter a vanilla block name and an amount from 1 to 64.
  • You can enter names such as stone or minecraft:glass.
• Make a portal to the Void
  • Opens a path to the Void Lands and creates a safe arrival area.
• Set time
  • Choose day, night, sunset, or midnight.
• Set weather
  • Choose clear weather, rain, or a thunderstorm.
• Mob spawning: on/off
  • Toggles the world's mob spawning rule.
• Give me a buff
  • Choose Regeneration, Resistance, Speed, Strength, or Fire Resistance.
• Give me a debuff
  • Choose Slowness, Weakness, Mining Fatigue, or Blindness.

Buffs last for about one minute. Debuffs last for about fifteen seconds. Kella's weather selection lasts for about five minutes.

Kella follows her owner and regularly grants night vision. She can also heal an injured owner, help with fire, and remove certain harmful effects. When danger is close, she may intervene against hostile mobs and can briefly calm nearby wardens.

Giving Kella items

Kella has a small item inventory. You can give her a Key Card - Access 10, pickaxe, axe, or hoe by interacting with her while holding the item. She can also accept flowers as gifts, rewarding you and granting a temporary regeneration and absorption boost.

Do not try to give Kella a sword; she refuses it.

Using Kella's Bubble

After obtaining a Key Card, the Kella's Bubble recipe becomes available.

• Use the Bubble while looking at Kella to place her inside it.
• Use the Bubble again to release her near you.
• Kella does not provide her normal companion support while she is stored.

This is useful when travelling, entering dangerous areas, or keeping Kella from following you temporarily.

Gentle Souls

Use a Gentle Soul Spawn Egg to create a flying companion. Gentle Souls are automatically friendly and follow their owner. They hover around the area, look at nearby players, and can be named, leashed, or carried by a balloon.

The Void village created by Kella also contains several Gentle Souls, including one named Fate.

Crafting And Obtaining

Dreem Dust

Mine Dreem Rock with an iron, diamond, or netherite pickaxe. Each suitable break drops 1–3 Dreem Dust. Other tools do not produce the custom drop.

You can also turn one Dreem Rock into one Dreem Dust at a crafting table.

Soul Stone

Craft a Soul Stone from nine Dreem Dust at a crafting table.

To charge it:

1. Place the Soul Stone in your selected hotbar slot.
2. Keep it selected while earning experience.
3. Watch the action bar for Soul Stone Charge READY.
4. Use the charged Soul Stone to summon the guardian.

Selecting a Soul Stone starts a fresh charge and resets your current experience level. Switching away from it cancels the charge, so keep it selected until it is ready.

Kella's Bubble

Kella's Bubble requires:

• Dreem Dust
• Gold Ingots
• A Heart of the Sea

The recipe is unlocked after you obtain a Key Card from the guardian.

Other equipment

The Soul Sword, spawn eggs, Dreem Rock, and other creative items can be taken directly from the Creative inventory.

The First War Chestplate is not obtained from ordinary crafting. It is claimed by interacting with a First War Chest.

Abilities And Mechanics

The One Who Guards The Void

The guardian has 1,500 health, very high knockback resistance, and immunity to fire and lava. It can hear vibrations, sniff out suspicious areas, emerge from underground, roar, and apply Darkness to players within 20 blocks.

Its attacks include:

• Tremble — Shakes the area and can remove nearby stone or deepslate.
• Void Blast — Fires a damaging blast at a player within range.
• Toss — Launches its target high into the air.
• Summon — Creates two Tiny White Wardens. These minions disappear after a short time.
• Pull — Damages and knocks away nearby entities.
• Void charge — Pursues a player and reduces them to 1 health if it catches them.

When the guardian falls below half health, nearby vanilla wardens can become ghost wardens. Damaging the guardian while these wardens are nearby may cause the attacker to take additional damage.

The guardian drops a Key Card when defeated. It cannot be summoned again after it has been defeated in that world.

Soul Sword

The Soul Sword deals 8 damage and has 512 durability.

During the guardian's Void Blast attack:

1. Hold the Soul Sword.
2. Sneak.
3. Use the sword while the guardian is charging the attack.

A successful timing causes the sword to catch the Void Blast and reflect part of its power back at the guardian instead of letting the blast strike you.

First War Chestplate

Wear the First War Chestplate to gain:

• Protection equivalent to armor protection 3
• Resistance III
• Health Boost V

The chestplate has 200 durability and can be repaired with sticks.

Use the chestplate to awaken Void Blast. The effect lasts for 30 seconds and creates a 12-block wave around you that repeatedly damages and knocks back nearby hostile mobs. It does not damage the Void guardian, Kella, or other Void-related companions.

Void Blast has a 60-second recharge after activation.

Void Lands

Use Kella's Make a portal to the Void option to travel to the Void Lands. Kella sends you approximately 10,000 blocks from your original position and creates a protected arrival area, a village, Gentle Souls, and a Dreem Rock portal.

The Void Lands provide temporary Resistance and Fire Resistance while you are there. The village's Dreem Rock portal is the way home:

1. Find the Dreem Rock portal in the village.
2. Walk into the portal opening.
3. You return to the position and dimension where Kella sent you.

Do not enter the Void Lands without a plan to return. Kella's menu cannot send you home directly while you are already there.

Kella's Allay Wolf

Kella can befriend nearby wolves. When she notices a suitable wolf, she may create or convert it into Kella's Allay Wolf, a tamed companion associated with her.

Kella's Allay Wolves can also be obtained directly with their spawn egg. They can breed when tamed and at full health using suitable meat such as chicken, beef, mutton, porkchops, rabbit, or rotten flesh.

Progression And Strategy

Preparing for the guardian

• Keep the Soul Stone selected while charging it.
• Bring a full set of strong armor and several healing items.
• Prepare a ranged weapon so you can keep distance from the guardian.
• Carry blocks to make cover and avoid being thrown into hazards.
• Use the Soul Sword to counter Void Blast.
• Avoid fighting near ordinary wardens once the guardian is below half health.
• Be ready for darkness, terrain damage, knockback, and temporary minions.

Unlocking Kella

The guardian's Key Card is the important progression item. Once it enters your inventory, Kella appears nearby and the Kella's Bubble recipe unlocks.

After Kella appears:

1. Interact with her empty-handed.
2. Try Ask about locations to learn her available services.
3. Give her a Key Card if you want her to hold it.
4. Use Make a portal to the Void when you are prepared to explore.
5. Keep Kella nearby so her healing, night vision, danger responses, and story events can occur.

The history secret

After Kella has joined you and enough in-game time has passed, she begins a hidden history event. She may temporarily leave while the Void calls to her. The History of void VOL.1 book then appears near her.

Use the book while Kella is present to begin the journey. Kella takes you across the Void to a distant location and creates a First War Chest there. Interact with the chest to claim the First War Chestplate.

If the book is used without Kella nearby, it cannot complete the journey.

Exploring the creative content

For immediate experimentation, use the Creative inventory to place:

• The guardian spawn egg for a boss fight without charging a Soul Stone
• Gentle Soul Spawn Eggs for harmless flying companions
• Tiny White Warden Spawn Eggs for minion testing
• Kella's Allay Wolf Spawn Eggs for a tamed wolf variant
• Dreem Rock for portal frames and material gathering
• First War Chests to test the armor reward

The intended experience is to defeat the guardian, earn Kella's trust, use her services to explore the Void Lands, and uncover the First War secrets.
