Castles are structures that occur naturally underground and are primarily important because they house Wyve Portals. Castles can be located using Eyeballs of Wyve.
Generation[]
There is a limit of 128 Castles per world.
All Castles are located at varying positions within rings, each ring with a certain radius from the origin – the point at x = 0, z = 0, not the world spawn, which is 100 meters away. Castles also extend further in and out of that area. The Castles are generated at roughly equal angles from the center point of the world (for instance, each Castle in a ring of 3 is in the region of 120 degrees from the others, measured from the origin). The game will not generate a Castle partially above ground: any portion above the ground layer will be replaced with fog, leaving a cutaway. Castle will generate at bedrock level, cutting the bedrock.
They generate in rings with the Castles evenly spaced around the circle until the total of 128 is reached.
- The 1st ring has 3 Castles within 1408–2688 of the origin
- The 2nd ring has 6 Castles within 4480–5760 of the origin
- The 3rd ring has 10 Castles within 7552–8832 of the origin
- The 4th ring has 15 Castles within 10624–11904 of the origin
- The 5th ring has 21 Castles within 13696–14976 of the origin
- The 6th ring has 28 Castles within 16768–18048 of the origin
- The 7th ring has 36 Castles within 19840–21120 of the origin
- The 8th ring has 9 Castles within 22912–24192 of the origin
Castles primarily generate underground, and prefer to generate in biomes above the ocean but will generate underwater if necessary. Whole rooms can be flooded if the Castle is intersected by a mine or ravine. Hovering portal rooms can be found in the large body of water, where no other room can generate. They also generate under neighborhood wishing wells. Every part of the Castle can be overwritten by ravines, caverns, abandoned mines or torture chambers; but the Wyve Portal is rarely replaced, which would force a player to find one of the other Castles.
