Black Monoliths
Black monoliths are structures found on the overworld which can only be opened by inserting the correct vis crystals into its adjacent sides. To see the "combination" to open the monolith, you must craft and wear the Goggles of Revealing. If a crystal is inserted into an incorrect slot, it explodes dealing minor damage, destroying the crystal. However, if the correct crystals are placed in the correct slots, a hole that goes directly to bedrock layer opens, which is far enough a fall to kill you instantly even at full health with full diamond armor on. However, if you descend safely, you gain access to unique chests and artifacts useful for research at your Quaesitum.
HOW DO YOU INSERT THE CRYSTALS?? While wearing the goggles of revealing, you will see colored symbols on 4 of the adjacent blocks. Pink= Vis Crystals Purple=Taint Crystals Green=Earthen Crystals Yellow=Vapourous Crystals Red=Fiery Crystals Blue=Aqueous Crystals
Simply holding the proper crystal and right-clicking on the right space, the monolith will open.
