          one layer at a time  -  and then the heavens

Does your cultivation go from “Qi Refining Early” straight to “Qi Refining Middle” with three hours of absolutely nothing in between? 😴 One long silent bar, no little victory to mark the climb?

That’s not how cultivation works in any story you’ve ever read. 📖 In every cultivation novel worth the name, a realm is climbed a layer at a time – first layer, second layer, ninth layer – each one a real breakthrough, each one felt.

⭐ Xiaoxiang Realm Expansion brings that to Minecraft. ⭐ Thirteen layers to every realm, as the cultivation mod already climbs Qi Refining – and nine to MORTAL – all the way to Tribulation Transcendence: 126 breakthroughs across a save instead of forty, and thirteen more in every immortal realm beyond, every one of them paying out, every requirement yours to set. And around the climb grows a whole cultivation world: spirit stones in nine levels, spiritual water in seven grades, wild cultivators who climb as you do, and the Myriad Realms waiting above the clouds. ✨

🔥 Twelve small victories on the way up, instead of three long silences. 🔥

🏔️ What Waits On The Mountain

• 🧗 Layers – thirteen to a realm, nine to MORTAL, every one a breakthrough that pays in attributes; the Peak four rising steps, four ways out of the realm, the thirteenth of them Perfection
• ☯️ The immortal realms – past Earth Immortal, the cultivation mod’s own immortal realms, thirteen layers each, up to Dao Ancestor or Great Dao Saint, every realm crowned by true tribulation lightning
• 🎚️ Your numbers – every requirement at three tiers that always agree, nine difficulty curves filled in with one click, and a pace of their own for the wild cultivators
• 📜 Your odds, your years, your record – your breakthrough chance and the years you have left on the cultivation screen, and a book of every breakthrough you make
• 💎 Spirit stones in nine levels – every grade from level one to nine and an Immortal stone above them: steeped up, taken in, worn as a charm
• 🌊 Spiritual water – seven grades from Inferior to golden Immortal, rare and precious: blessed land, steeping, ponds that grow on Dark Matter, diluted water that runs and ruined water that warns
• 🩸 Demonic liquid – the water’s dark twin, in seven grades of its own
• 🧘 Wild cultivators – they climb in layers, sit by your springs, craft, steal, trade and follow you; and beside Sects & Beasts, the beasts climb too – and hunt your blood
• 🗡️ Flight – every steeped weapon is a flying sword at its grade’s speed, and the Spiritual Vessel carries even a MORTAL into the sky
• ☁️ The Myriad Realms – one world of every world on an immortal’s scale, reached by a Myriad Gate or by ascending
• ❤️ Comfort – the cultivation HUD where you want it, a health bar for when the hearts stop fitting, higher jumps, longer breath, commands for everything, and a guidebook in four languages

🌌 Past The Clouds – The Void, The Xiao System And The Building Sets

Climb high enough and the sky gives out. 🚀 In this release all of space is still here: the void over every world, the Xiao System’s Spirit Moon and its worlds, the Star Chart and the roads between the worlds, flight and weight in space, the sky’s five layers and the Sky Goggles, sealed air rooms with the Air Array, the Air Gauge and the Airlock Frame – and the spiritual building sets, every building block steeped in seven grades and sealed.

• 🧩 Moving house soon – in a coming update space and the building sets move into Xiaoxiang – Void Incursion, Realm Expansion’s own add-on, and Realm Expansion keeps the ground: the layers, the realms, the heavens, the water, the steeping, the cultivators and the Myriad Realms
• 💾 Nothing will be lost – with both installed, a world from before the move finds every block, item and world of space again under Void Incursion’s name
• ⚗️ Already in Void Incursion – the Alloy Codex of the Stars and a living cultivation Overworld, installed beside this mod

🧭 Your First Hour On The Mountain

New to cultivation in Minecraft? Here’s the road from your first breath of qi to a sword under your feet. 🐟➡️🐉

Every key can be changed under Options → Controls → Key Binds. 🎛️

1️⃣ Climb your first layer 🪜 – cultivate until your bar is full, then press K. You climb one layer, attribute points paid on the spot and a line in chat saying exactly what you got. /realmexpansion layer tells you where you stand.

2️⃣ Make your first spiritual water 🌊 – throw sixteen Low spirit stones into a block of plain water – or hold them, look at the water and right-click – and it turns Inferior. Quick, before it steams away: let it meet lava and you have Spirit Obsidian, the jade stone that holds the water. Line a basin with it, fill it and raise it rung by rung – Low stones to Inferior and Low, Mid stones to Mid. A 3×3 reaches out thirty blocks; a 9×9 is a Blessed Land. Stand in it and cultivate. 🧘

3️⃣ Fly on your sword 🗡️ – learn Sword Flight, put a sword in a treasure slot or your main hand, press V, pick it, press R. Then steep that sword in your pond: a steeped weapon flies at its grade’s speed – fifty blocks a tick at Immortal. No spell yet? A Spiritual Vessel flies with none: hold it, look up at the open sky and right-click. 🛸

4️⃣ Look up ☁️ – the Myriad Realms open to two kinds of traveller only: those who break through to immortality, and those who raise a Myriad Gate and step into its ring of light.

5️⃣ Make a friend 🤝 – crouch and right-click a wild cultivator with empty hands. If they think well enough of you, they follow – and fight what you fight.

6️⃣ Get the book 📜 – with Patchouli installed, a book and a Low spirit stone make Records of the Myriad Realms, every number the mod’s own. /realmexpansion help lists every command.

🗣️ Questions People Actually Ask

🤔 “It’s too hard!” / “It’s too easy!” Pick another of the nine curves – Gentle to Marathon Plus – and every layer of every realm refills at once. Or turn Nine Heavens off and the cultivation mod’s own numbers come straight back. 🎚️

🤔 “Will this break my existing world?” No. Characters already past MORTAL keep their realm and sub-stage and simply gain layers from where they stand. 💾

🤔 “I’ve been at Peak for three hours and can’t find the materials.” Keep climbing the Peak. Every step opens a tier of the materials for you, and you can break out from whichever step you stand on. 🛤️

🤔 “Where did space go?” Up the road to Xiaoxiang – Void Incursion. Install it beside this mod and your world keeps everything. 🌌

🤔 “My spiritual water vanished!” It keeps only in a Spirit Obsidian lining or a spiritual vessel – anywhere else it steams away two minutes after it is laid bare. 💨

🤔 “Why did a cultivator just attack me?” You were probably holding spiritual water where it could see you. 😅 They covet it – and in harder worlds, your spirit stones and pills too.

🤔 “Can I change the numbers?” All of them. Install Xiaoxiang Config Extension and every setting has a page and a written explanation. ⚙️

   ═╩══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╩═
        every realm, Qi Refining to Tribulation Transcendence
        MORTAL climbs the lower nine - and needs no Peak

The base mod gives a realm four steps – Early, Middle, Late, Peak – and a long quiet bar between them. This splits the first three into three layers each and the Peak into four rising steps, layers 10 to 13 – the cultivation mod’s own count for Qi Refining, now every realm’s. The Peak still costs the one figure you give it: the four steps share it, each a little dearer than the last, and the bar carries four marks to say which you are on. 🪜

🌾 MORTAL has the same shape – Early, Middle, Late, three layers apiece – but no Peak, on purpose. A Peak is worth sitting in for what it waits on – the materials the next realm asks for – and a MORTAL has none of those ahead of them. So the top of Late is the top of MORTAL: nine layers, and then you’re a cultivator. ⚔️ It’s a switch, not a decision made for you: turn the MORTAL Peak on, and MORTAL climbs thirteen like every realm above it.

📜 Your odds, your years, your record. The cultivation screen shows your breakthrough chance before you try – every part of it under the pointer, pills, failures, the Peak step and Perfection included – and your lifespan, the years left of all you’re given. The Cultivation Record, a book of a book and a Low spirit stone, keeps every breakthrough you make: realm, layer, day, the step you broke from and the lightning you survived.

Turn the layers off and the base mod is back, exactly as it was.

🪜 Rung 2 ┃ Every Requirement Is Yours

Three tiers, and they always agree with each other. ⚖️

⚡ Type a total and everything under it divides to match – in the file and on the screen, a moment after you stop typing. Edit a layer instead and the sub-stage above it becomes the sum of its layers, and the realm total follows. Whichever box you touched last wins, and the parts always add back up to exactly what you typed. ✅

🪜 Rung 3 ┃ Nine Curves, One Click

Two hundred numbers is the right amount of control and the wrong amount of typing. 😅 So pick a curve and every layer of every realm fills in at once.

🎁 The harder the curve, the more a breakthrough pays – attribute points, Zhenyuan and years of life, in every realm from MORTAL up. Of the eight made from rates, each is at least three times the one below it at Qi Refining and nearly nine times across the whole climb; end to end the spread is about four hundred million fold. With Config Extension installed, the same nine are in its Presets window, each with an Apply.

🏮 Nine Heavens – the house curve, priced in nines, and what a fresh install charges:

MORTAL                              9,999
Qi Refining                        99,999
Foundation Establishment          999,999
Golden Core                     9,999,999
Nascent Soul                   99,999,999
Soul Formation                999,999,999
Void Refining               9,999,999,999
Body Integration           99,999,999,999
Mahayana                  999,999,999,999
Tribulation Transcendence   9,999,999,999,999

Every realm exactly ten times the one below it. ✨ It is the shipped default, in force from your first breakthrough – and a switch: turn Nine Heavens off and the cultivation mod’s own numbers come straight back, with your own figures kept exactly where they were.

🪜 Rung 4 ┃ A Hundred And Twenty-Six Breakthroughs That PAY

The distance between realms is the whole genre, and a flat reward can’t express it. So every layer raises EVERY attribute, and the figure climbs with the realm: 📈

A realm pays it nine times – the layers inside its stages and the Peak’s first three steps. The crossings between stages and the last breakthrough pay the cultivation mod’s own rewards, and so do Qi Refining’s Peak steps, its own qi layers, so Qi Refining pays it six.

🐲 A Mahayana cultivator is not a stronger Foundation cultivator. They are a different kind of thing. 🐲

MORTAL pays differently, because a MORTAL has no Qi to allocate yet: one attribute per layer – rolled, or the one you nominate – and all five at once when you cross into the next sub-stage. 💬 The breakthrough line tells you what it paid, and every one of these can be set to zero.

🪜 Rung 5 ┃ Peak Is A Road, Not A Wall

A player who has cultivated to the top of a realm and can’t find the materials is stuck behind a loot table rather than behind their own cultivation – and the honest answer to “I’ve been at Peak for three hours” should not be “keep opening chests.” 📦

So the Peak is four steps, and every one of them is a way out of the realm. The step you leave from is what you carry: the foundation and the golden core open without their materials, one tier a step – Human, Blood, Earth, and Heaven from a finished Perfection. 🎯 A full bar climbs; a bar not yet full breaks out. Below Perfection a full bar carries you to the next step – free, no materials, no tribulation – and a breakthrough taken before the bar fills breaks you out with what your step has opened.

⭐ Layer 13 is PERFECTION – the hardest step of every realm, named so on the screen, the HUD and in chat. Break out of a finished Perfection and Heaven opens, every attribute gains +100, and no materials at all are asked, in every realm. And Peak is priced to match: with the floor on, it costs the whole Late stage over again, ten times. ✅ Materials are never taken away – a player who has them is eligible exactly as they are.

🪜 Rung 6 ┃ Spirit Stones In Nine Levels

Every spirit stone now climbs nine levels, and a stone of level n holds exactly n times its level one. Every figure ends in a zero, so stones divide and add up cleanly – and no grade’s ninth level ever reaches the next grade’s first. ✨

(One ISE – Immortal Spiritual Energy – is a thousand qi.) A stone shows its level as nine slices lit clockwise. 🕘

• 🌊 Steep them – crouch and drop a stone into spiritual water of its grade or better and it glimmers, climbing a level every five minutes; the ninth asks for water one grade richer
• 🧘 Take them in – from the sixth level on, a stone feeds your cultivation as well as your qi
• 📿 Wear them – with Curios, a Supreme or Immortal stone in the charm slot feeds your cultivation every second, and every cultivator and tamed beast within eight blocks too
• ⚖️ Spend them – ponds, cultivators’ trades and their greed weigh a stone of any level at its worth, and nine stones of a grade press into a Spirit Stone Block that counts for ten

             ▲ stones make the lower three; the rest are found

Water that has drunk its fill of qi. Stand in it and cultivate – Qi Absorption, Regeneration, Haste and Water Breathing. 🧘 A 3×3 pond pushes qi into the air for thirty blocks; a 9×9 is a Blessed Land that pays five times as much, so the house or sect hall beside it is blessed without anyone in the water. A thin tinted membrane marks its reach, and inside it you hear the water hum.

It is graded. 💎 Inferior, Low, Mid, High, Top, Supreme, Immortal – each grade doubles the qi and reaches ten blocks further, up to ninety at Immortal. Immortal is gold 🏅 – honey-coloured, lit from within and warm: ice beside it melts and nothing freezes in it.

How it is made. ⚗️ Sixteen spirit stones a block, a rung at a time, thrown by a player – or set by hand: hold a stone over water and the block it would go into is outlined in its grade’s colour; right-click and it goes in, from the bank, from inside the water or into a pool underground. Low stones make Inferior and Low, Mid stones Mid – and that is as far as stones go; a stronger stone sinks with a hiss. High, Top, Supreme and Immortal are found, not made – out in the worlds, in the Sky Realm’s found pools, now and then in a ruin’s chest – and carried home in a vessel of their grade.

It keeps only where it belongs. 💨 In a spiritual vessel or a pool lined with Spirit Obsidian it stays; anywhere else it steams away two minutes after it is laid bare, and a plain bucket holds it two minutes and no more. The pools the worlds place are rare treasures, each cradled in its lining.

• 🌊 It flows as far as its grade allows – Inferior thirteen blocks, down to Immortal one – and never spreads by itself: the block you pour is the block you get
• 🚫 It will not mix with water – plain water spreads over it like ground, so a spring in its lining can sit at the bottom of the sea
• 🐉 Supreme and Immortal ponds of nine blocks or more are awake – a hostile creature that dies in one is taken, and the pond grows a block for it
• 🛡️ Blessed land is safe land – hostile mobs are driven out of a pond’s reach, and an Immortal pond’s reach heals: zombie villagers in it are cured
• ⚡ Meet your tribulation in the water – the bolts hit softer, from a tenth off at Inferior to three quarters off at Immortal
• 👁️ Look at the water and it tells you what it is – grade, size and reach, at the top of the screen

🪨 Spirit Obsidian, And Ponds That Grow

Spiritual water meeting lava makes Spirit Obsidian – jade, not black. 🟩 It cuts into bricks, slabs, stairs, walls and a pillar, and four glass round it make Spirit Obsidian Glass, as blast-proof as the stone. The raw stone shatters when mined – four dust, the block itself only with Silk Touch; dust smelts to powder, and nine powder remake the block. A pond’s lining holds fast while it holds water – only a Mahayana-strength force breaks it – and a breached pond left unmended for two minutes evaporates whole. Condensed Spirit Obsidian does the opposite: water touching it is still and nothing grows onto it, and it comes with a building set of twenty-five blocks, glow bars and a lamp that wake as you come near.

The carnivorous pond. 🌊 A lined pond grows only by what you feed it. Black Tech’s Dark Matter, or any catalyst a pack adds, dropped in one piece at a time: the pond keeps a tally, and when it is met the pond eats a stone of its lining – that block becomes water and the lining walks outward. Throw a full stack at once and it widens a whole ring all round; a Dark Matter Block widens it a ring and deepens it a layer, and each Condensed Dark Matter Block, I to IX, a ring and a layer more. Better water eats dearer, and a pond never grows into water of another grade.

💧 Diluted And Ruined – When Grades Meet

No grade runs into another. A wall between two pools keeps them apart. Plain water caught between two grades becomes Diluted Spiritual Water of the lower grade – the only spiritual water that runs, and the only one that never dries. Humble and useful: a bucket burns where a spirit stone burns (a Myriad Gate takes it) for a tenth of the level-one stone of its grade, the Watering Canister quickens crops and replants them from their own seed, and you can fish it for Spirit Carp, Jade Koi, Moonscale Eel and, rarely, a Golden Dragon Carp. 🎣

But two grades touching face to face, with nothing between, shimmer for five seconds – time to scoop one away – and then both are ruined: Ruined Spiritual Water, murky and two-toned, every blessing gone. Its one use: it is colder than anything – a reactor coolant a thousand times plain water. ❄️

💎 The Geode And The Road To Dark Matter

Your pond is a geode. 🔮 Fill a Spirit Obsidian basin to the brim, leave it unfed, and its lining grows Spiritual Essence on the faces away from the water – bud, medium, large, then the glowing cluster; the better the water, the sooner. Mine a cluster for four Spiritual Essence Crystals. Then nine layers to Dark Matter: dust, powder, the crystal, Essence Powder, Essence Paste bound with Immortal water, Essence Jade, Awakened Essence Jade, the Essence Core – and the ninth, the Primordial Seed, forged at Black Tech’s Star Forge. Essence Bone Meal grows a crystal on a brimming lining at once. 🦴

🪜 Rung 8 ┃ Steeped In The Water

Drop a sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe or piece of armour in, and ten seconds later it is spiritual – at the water’s grade, keeping its enchantments, its name and its wear. Six materials, seven grades: 378 pieces, each drawn with the water’s colour over it, mining faster and longer and striking far harder – an Immortal netherite sword hits for 120. Nine cleansings in Immortal water make any Immortal piece unbreakable. ⚔️ A source block steeps ten times and is gone, so a pond is a thing you grow, not a well that never runs dry.

🩹 Steeped, and mending. Leave a weapon or a piece of armour – the cultivation mod’s or this mod’s – in a source for thirty seconds: the water is drunk away and the piece comes out Steeped, mending itself a point at a time while you wear or hold it, every seventy seconds for Inferior water down to every ten for Immortal.

• 🍞 Food – bread, steak, fish and the rest, fuller for longer the better the grade, with qi in every bite; golden apples at every grade, and in Immortal water the Immortal Apple: a day in an Immortal pool at a bite
• 🏹 Bows and crossbows whose arrows strike like a steeped sword, and horse armour that guards by its grade
• 🌱 Wheat seeds become Spirit Herb Seeds, bone meal Spirit Meal, saplings spiritual saplings, milk spiritual milk, bottles fill with the water, and glass holds the water still in a see-through block
• 🪵 Element woods – each element tree’s logs make planks, slabs, stairs, fences and doors in its colour
• ✂️ Shears, flint and steel and fishing rods that last up to fifteen times as long
• 💊 Pills climb seven grades like the water, with Inferior and Top joining the cultivation mod’s five
• 🗡️ Fly on it – every steeped weapon is a sword Sword Flight carries you on, the grade setting the speed: 1.9 blocks a tick at Inferior to 50 at Immortal; below Mid it’s a hoverboard that hugs the ground

🌿 The land turns spiritual. A pond that reaches out turns the ground inside its reach: spiritual grass of its grade, herbs of the five elements by the place, glowing spiritual flowers and sea plants, trees one element to a tree. Craft and wake Levitating Spirit Grass, which draws qi from the air and floats wherever you set it; till spiritual farmland where crops grow two to eight times as fast. And it rejects the evil: evil ones on spiritual land are drained and harmed.

🏺 The Spiritual Vessels – seven, one a grade, each holding its own grade of water – 10 buckets at Inferior up to 1,000 at Immortal – three Spirit Obsidian Powder with the grade’s stone at the top. Throw one into a pond of its grade and it drinks it. And it flies, no technique needed – even a MORTAL can ride one. 🛸

🪜 Rung 9 ┃ Demonic Liquid – The Water’s Dark Twin

Seven grades of a liquid that eats. 😈 A source takes a block beside it now and then, so a pool left alone keeps growing; only blocks nothing can break, Condensed Spirit Obsidian and spiritual water of a higher grade hold it. Stand in it and you burn, you’re poisoned, and you lose morality every second until the cultivation mod counts you evil. Creatures turn demonic 👹 – tougher, stronger and faster, up to three times at Immortal – and hunt every living thing that hasn’t turned. Walled springs wait in the Nether and the outer End. And it steeps demonic gear of its own, 378 pieces in red: a demonic blade withers what it strikes – and only the evil path wields it safely.

🪜 Rung 10 ┃ Wild Cultivators Climb In Layers

They climb as you do. 🪜 Thirteen layers a realm, nine for MORTAL, and the name over a cultivator’s head says where it stands: MORTAL Late Layer 7. A full bar carries it up with a burst of light that grows with its realm; throw one a pill and it takes it 💊; at the top of a stage it sets its cushion down near spiritual water and breaks through right there. Its Peak opens the way as yours does.

• 🧘 The springs draw them – a cultivator with no sect sits by your spiritual water and cultivates, and nobody starts a fight around a cultivator on its cushion
• 🪓 They fend for themselves – fell trees, craft wooden, stone and then iron gear, smelt the ore they mine, and steep their swords in your water
• 💰 They covet – hold spiritual water where one can see you and its regard falls until it turns on you; knock the water loose and every cultivator around runs for it. They steal from your ponds, trade with each other, and chase whoever keeps the first throw. How greedy they are follows your world’s difficulty – in a Marathon world a single low spirit stone in your hand is worth a fight
• 😈 The demonic path spares no one – its cultivators hunt every other cultivator and player in sight, and a switch calls them off
• ⚙️ A pace of their own – the curve they climb, faster or slower than yours, and what every realm pays them, on a tab of their own

🐉 Beside Xiaoxiang Sects & Beasts, the beasts it gives a realm climb thirteen layers a realm too, their names saying so – and beasts hunt cultivators for their blood essence: a beast that kills a human cultivator takes the essence and climbs. When a human cultivator dies, its blood essence rises glowing above the body, every beast near fights over it in a ring, and the last standing eats it – take it yourself and every beast near hunts you. 🩸 A Blood-Sealing Talisman (paper, red dye, an ink sac and a Low spirit stone) seals your blood’s scent, and a hunting beast passes you by – a hundred of them, and then it is spent. And that mod’s Spirit-Stone Reservoir knows all forty-five spirit stones of both mods, keeps your stock as your own, and turns stones between grades.

🪜 Rung 11 ┃ The Heavens And The Myriad Realms

Survive the last tribulation and the heavens call. ☁️ A pillar of light, a rising chord, a ten-second count – and you are carried up into the Myriad Realms. The mortal worlds close behind you: only an Ascension Gate, raised before you rise, leads down again, ten minutes at a time.

⚡ And the climb goes on. Ascended, an Earth Immortal climbs the cultivation mod’s own immortal realms – Heavenly, True, Mystic, Golden, Taiyi Golden and Daluo Golden Immortal, then two roads: the Heavenly Dao to Dao Ancestor, or the Great Dao to Great Dao Saint – thirteen layers in every one, each crowned by true tribulation lightning that no technique turns aside. At Daluo Golden Immortal’s thirteenth you choose your road – stand for the Heavenly Dao, crouch for the Great Dao – and Dao Ancestor’s seat is one for the whole world.

🌌 The Myriad Realms are one boundless world holding an echo of every other, laid out from your seed on a scale fit for immortals. Every plane has lands of its own about three thousand blocks wide; cross a border and the sky, the fog, the motes in the air and the creatures change round you, the plane’s name rising on your screen – you never leave the realm.

• 🌿 The Verdant Plane – the floating islands in three bands, spirit grass, found pools and still falls; Bamboo Highlands, Flower Meadows, Lotus Lakes, Misty Mountains and Terrace Islands
• 🔥 The Infernal Plane – the Nether’s echo under a red haze: crimson groves, basalt reaches, lava seas and broken bastions
• 🌌 The Ender Plane – the End’s echo: chorus highlands, purpur spires and void shards hanging in the air
• ❄️ The Frost Plane – under an aurora, with Frostmirror Lakes of still High water and hot spring vales
• 🌋 The Ember Plane – under a dusk-red sky, cinders falling in place of rain
• 💚 The Jade Plane – jade cliffs, jade woods and crystal hollows open to the sky
• ⛰️ Seven more on the way – the Peak, Lunar, Star, Dune, Abyssal and Thunder Planes, and the Immortal Plane beyond them (work in progress)

🏯 Palaces and sects of the East stand across every plane in its own style – throne halls on three terraces, a sky palace on a cloud, a water palace over a lotus pool, sect compounds at the head of long stairs – with walled towns, markets, teahouses and inns, pagodas of five, seven and nine storeys and moon-door gardens, lived in and stocked. Beneath every plane lie the Forsaken Depths, grey and dark, with ruins of fallen immortals’ palaces. 🌫️

🌀 The Myriad Gate – a five-by-five formation, the Gate in the middle, Spirit Obsidian round it, spirit stone blocks on the edges and High-grade blocks at the corners; feed it 1,000 qi a crossing and step into its ring of light – and nothing that hunts you follows. 💎 The Realm Stone waits in a guarded chamber at the heart of each plane: break it out with a netherite pickaxe, steep its shards into Realm Essence, and forge the Realm Keystone a Myriad Gate needs to raise its twin.

🪜 Rung 12 ┃ Followers, The Qi Shield And The Weapon’s Aura

🤝 Followers. Crouch and right-click a wild cultivator with empty hands: if they hold you in enough regard and your company has room, they follow you – the same click tells them to stay, and then to go. How many you may lead climbs with your realm. They fight what you fight and what strikes you, never you or each other, and come with you between worlds – through every door a hunter follows its quarry, wild cultivators and demonic creatures included.

🫁 The qi shield. From Foundation Building a cultivator keeps a shield of qi that holds air – a minute at that realm, twice as much every realm above, unending from True Immortal – breathed down wherever there is no air to breathe. It refills a tenth on its own; the rest takes a spiritual pond’s reach.

⚔️ The weapon’s qi aura. Press U with a sword, axe or trident in hand and a ring of qi wakes round it: every swing reaches a block farther per realm and hits everything in the arc, never you or yours.

🪜 Rung 13 ┃ Comfort, From The First Breath

• 🦘 Jump higher as you climb – a MORTAL at the ninth layer jumps five and a half blocks, and every realm above adds more, up to ten
• 🫧 Hold your breath longer – Qi Refining thirty seconds, Golden Core two minutes, every realm doubling it up to twenty-five
• ❤️ A health bar for when the hearts stop fitting – at twenty thousand health, rows of hearts climb over your hotbar; here they become one bar with the figure written on it, in the hearts’ own place. Purely visual, and on from the first moment
• 🪟 The cultivation HUD – on screen from a new character’s first moment; press H to drag it anywhere and resize it from its corners, and Reset or Reset All brings it home
• ⌨️ Commands for everything – anyone can read their realm, layer and Peak, a realm’s whole curve and what the next breakthrough costs; operators can raise any player to any realm and layer at once, apply a preset, steep the stack in hand or turn the water round them to a grade. /realmexpansion help lists them all
• 📖 Records of the Myriad Realms – with Patchouli, a guidebook in English, Spanish, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, every number the mod’s own; and with Xiaoxiang Config Extension, every setting gets a page and a written explanation

📦 Requirements And Compatibility

• 🧱 Minecraft 1.20.1 · ⚙️ Forge 47.x
• 🌍 Xiaoxiang Cultivation World 0.2.106 or later – required (its Modrinth line). This release was made for 0.2.106, and every release names the cultivation version it was made for
• 🌌 Optional: Xiaoxiang – Void Incursion (the Alloy Codex and a living Overworld today; space and the building sets move there in a coming update), Xiaoxiang Config Extension (the in-game settings screen), Patchouli (the guidebook), Curios (a spirit stone worn as a charm), Xiaoxiang Black Tech (Dark Matter and the Star Forge)
• 🤝 Plays alongside Xiaoxiang Sects & Beasts (with Threateningly Mobs, which it needs)
• 🌐 English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese
• 🛡️ Touches no file of the cultivation mod – everything is applied while the game runs, and turning the layers off gives the base mod back exactly as it was
• 💾 Safe on existing saves – characters already past MORTAL keep their realm and sub-stage and gain layers from where they stand
• ⚠️ It ships with its own difficulty in force – a fresh install climbs the Nine Heavens curve, with the Peak held at ten times the whole Late stage; turn Nine Heavens off to hand difficulty back to the cultivation mod
• 🔌 Network access: none – no sockets, no servers, no telemetry, no update check
