- Unlocking the Archives (Unlocks Tier 1 Chapter)
With the Worker Token, the Echo of Guidance has unlocked more Archives for you to visit. Within them are new Echoes whose tasks will allow you to upgrade the World Engine! Make sure to go meet each one, as they might have a gift for you. The World Engine has plenty of upgrades, with only a few being required to advance. Each tier requires at least 2 Upgrades to be completed by working with the Echoes. Note: Major Upgrades will be required, while Minor Upgrades are optional.
Needs: A Token of the Mindless (in Getting Started), Guidance 1.3 check (in Backstage) - Meet The Quartermaster
With more Archives unlocked, it is time to explore the lobby and find the Echo of The Quartermaster. Work with this Echo to discover your first Major Upgrade. You may teleport directly to this Echo from anywhere in the lobby after meeting them using /echo quartermaster.
Needs: Guidance 1.3 check (in Backstage), Unlocking the Archives - Meet The Machinist
With more Archives unlocked, it is time to explore the lobby to find the Echo of The Machinist. The Machinist specialises in calibrated engineering and moving contraptions. Work with this Echo to unlock the Shadow Casing Upgrade for your World Engine. You may teleport directly to this Echo from anywhere in the lobby after meeting them using /echo machinist.

Sometimes things go wrong, and since Minecraft has no "Undo" button. We've added one for you. If you accidentally break your World Engine machine block, clicking this button will replace it for you. Keep in mind that this will wipe any of your existing settings and items inside the World Engine.
Needs: Unlocking the Archives - Locating The Magician
Claiming this quest reward will set a waypoint at the Echo's Archive entrance.
Needs: Unlocking the Archives - Shaping Obsidian
Before you can create the casings used in for the World Engine, you'll need to have acquired Lava and Obsidian. If you haven't already, make sure you go speak to The Machinist to get an Entropy Manipulator to create lava. Obsidian is a strong enough material to support the strength of basic casings, but you'll need to press it into Plates first.
Needs: Meet The Machinist, Machinist Meet (in Backstage)Asks for:Obsidian Plate,
Lava Bucket
- Locating The Quartermaster
Claiming this quest reward will set a waypoint at the Echo's Archive entrance.
Needs: Unlocking the Archives - Multiblock Tools
The Multiblock Printer and Multiblock Validator are two tools that can help you build new structures and validate broken multiblocks. The following pages will teach you how to use each item. The Multiblock Printer supports only certain structures, which you can find in JEI by searching “Multiblock Printer” and checking for the "ⓘ Compatible" tag. Once you've gatherered the required blocks and cleared enough space for the multiblock, place down the Controller and Right-click it with the Multiblock Printer. It will place blocks automatically using items from your inventory. If something blocks block placement or an item can’t be found in your inventory, the Multiblock Printer stops working and shows an error explaining the issue. The Multiblock Validator helps diagnose and maintain Custom Machinery multiblocks. Using it on a Custom Machinery Controller shows all Installed Multiblock Modules. It can also re-align the World Engine automatically. You can also reset all multiblock cores. This action will NOT refund any lost items to errored cores, meaning any items in those cores will be effectively voided.

Note: Take a look at the Power Generation chapter if you want some more early power options. You should return to the Quartermaster once you have completed his task.
