The Sundial

The Sundial is a solar horoscope excavated from deep within The Ranch’s Cave District, possibly from an extinct civilization.

Although in a state of disrepair, it is believed that The Sundial once rotated in accordance with the movement of 16 constellations. These constellations are symbolized by the 16 glass discs on the flat portion of The Sundial, and are divided into three categories: Solar, Lunar, and Transitory (Equinox). Inscribed in each glass disc is a letter in the Minecraft enchanting language.

In general, the Solar constellations represent light/warm concepts, while the Lunar constellations represent the opposite. Transitory constellations act as the middle ground between Solar and Lunar constellations, and generally reflect aspects of change.
