Tideward Crossing Kit

What it is

Three pieces of wetland gear: boots for wading, glasses for reading crab warnings and a line for checking a route. None of them use magic.

How to get it

Every recipe is shapeless.

How to use it

Reedwater Waders

Walk, without sprinting, on solid ground in shallow water. The boots give you a small speed boost.

• They don’t help when you are in deep water, swimming, riding or in the air.
• Each second of wading costs 1 wear.
• After 5 seconds of wading, they need 2 seconds of rest.

Dewglass Spectacles

Crouch and look at a Reedback Crab for half a second while its claws are up. It must be within 8 blocks and in clear view. Reed notches then appear above its warning.

Each reading costs 1 wear and starts a 3-second rest. The spectacles only read the warning. To calm the crab, use a Reed Rattle.

Bank Surveyor’s Line

1. Use it on one bank.
2. Within 5 seconds, use it on a second bank.
   • The banks can be up to 8 blocks apart.
   • They can differ by no more than 1 block in height.
3. Sneak-use cancels.

The line checks for solid footing, room for your body and dry ground or shallow water. It fails on deep holes, lava, blocked space or protected land.

A good route shows a braided line for 5 seconds. It costs 2 wear and starts a 4-second rest. The line never places blocks or changes the water.

Tips and counterplay

• The survey reads the ground, but animals may still get in your way. Check your jump and the water depth.
• Server claim plugins may refuse a survey on claimed land.
• To make a shallow basin rather than read one, use Basinfill.
