'''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]]. Meditation is not possible on survival worlds with [[Expert Mode]] enabled. In custom worlds, administrators can choose to enable or disable mediation.

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

==Effects==
==Effects==
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.
Meditating is useful for getting the [[world]] to change from night to day. When playing with multiple blockheads, time cannot fast forward unless all blockheads are [[sleep]]ing or meditating.

It takes about 15 minutes of real time for the meditation bar displayed over the blockhead to fill completely. If all blockheads in a world are mediating or sleeping, about 20 game days will pass while a mediation bar goes from empty to full. If at least one blockhead remains active, it takes about one game day for an empty mediation bar to fill.
