Rift Locator

A Rift Locator is an item used to locate the nearest undiscovered Rift.

Obtaining

Rift Locators spawn (in egg form) in loot chests within the following structures:

• Dungeon
• Abandoned Mineshaft
• Ancient City
• Pillager Outpost
• Jungle Temple
• Shipwreck
• Ruined Portal
• End City

They are most common in Ancient Cities and End Cities.

Each Waychest also drops one guaranteed Rift Locator egg to each Journey.

Usage

Locator Egg

Right-click while holding a Rift Locator egg to open the egg and receive a locator candle.

Using the egg locks the Locator to the nearest Rift that the opener’s active Journey has not yet discovered. Locators can only lock on to undiscovered Rifts within 8000 blocks of the opener.

Note

A Locator cannot be unlocked from a Rift after it has been opened. Do not open more than one egg at a time, or they will all lock on to the same Rift and be wasted.

Locator Candle

A locked Rift Locator appears as a colored candle. It changes color based on the movement of its holder.

Rift Locators are temperature-based. When the holder is moving directly towards the locked Rift, the candle turns red. When moving generally towards the Rift, but not directly towards it, it turns orange. When moving away from the Rift, it turns light blue. When moving in the exact opposite direction from the Rift, it turns dark blue. Standing still, the candle is gray.

The candle turns green when its holder is within 10 blocks of the Rift. After discovering the Rift, the Rift’s name appears in the item’s hover text to indicate that its locked Rift has been found.

Automatic Deletion

Since discovered Rifts act as warp destinations, candles pointing to them do not have any use and can be safely thrown away. There is a setting in /journey settings to automatically delete locators when a Rift is found.
