[[File:Meditate.png|thumb|A Blockhead meditating]]

'''Meditation''' is an activity that allows a [[Blockhead]] to remain somewhat productive even while idle at little risk of running low on [[:Category:Attribute|attributes]].

A Blockhead can meditate at any time that it isn't busy with another task and is standing on a solid [[Blocks|block]].

To set the current Blockhead to meditate, tap its character status icon to bring up its [[User Interface#Character Status Window|character status window]]. If it is able to meditate, a "Meditate" button will be visible on the lower left. Tapping it causes that Blockhead to sit in a cross-legged ("lotus") position and display a status window above it.

The status window shows a "stop" button and a Meditation Bar indicating the Blockhead's progress towards its next bonus.

When all Blockheads in a [[world]] are either meditating or [[sleep]]ing, time passes quickly. It takes about 15 minutes of real time for the meditation bar displayed over the Blockhead to fill completely. During this time, 20 days will pass in game time. Meditating, along with [[sleep]]ing, makes time pass twenty times faster when all Blockheads are sleeping or meditating.

If a Blockhead is hurt during meditation, they will stop meditating.

[[Energy Bar|Energy]] and [[Hunger Bar|hunger]] are not depleted during meditation. Its [[Environment Bar|comfort level]] may also improve. A Blockhead can also [[Hunger Bar|eat]] while meditating.

Meditating is useful for getting the time to change from night to day. When playing with multiple Blockheads, time cannot fast forward unless all Blockheads are sleeping or meditating.

Each time the progress bar fills, a Blockhead receives one to three [[items]]. A Blockhead will not receive any spawned items until meditation is stopped.
