__TOC__
This item can ''only'' be acquired as a loot drop after successfully eliminating the hostile mob, [[Drifter|Drifters]].  These items alone have the power to alter time and space for a single individual and are single use items, as releasing the power stored in the item consumes the gear.

When you start a game, you appear at the "spawn" point in the world. If you should run afoul of the more unfriendly creatures during your wanderings, find yourself bereft of sustenance, or succumb to the heights of the panoramic vistas and fall from a cliff.... Any form of player death will send you back to "respawn" at your original location until you acquire a means of resetting your spawn point. Using the temporal gear allows a player to choose ANY location as a spawn point. Each player in a game must acquire his or her own temporal gear, and resetting the spawn location for one player does not affect the spawn location for any other player. Even after you reset your spawn point to a new location, you may update this location at any time by using an additional temporal gear. Each successive use of a temporal gear overrides any previously selected spawn points. Temporal gears can be stored in any portable or stationary storage container such as baskets or chests but they ''do not'' stack.

Spawn points

When a player starts a game or joins a server, they appear at the spawn point of the world. Any time a player is killed they will be sent back to respawn at their original location until they acquire a temporal gear. Using it allows a player to choose any location as their spawn point. Each player in a game must acquire their own temporal gear, and resetting the spawn for one player does not affect any other player's. A player may override their location at any time by using an additional temporal gear.

Resetting

  1. Place the temporal gear in an empty slot in your hotbar.
  2. With the temporal gear in your active hand, aim at the block on the ground you want to make your new spawn point.
  3. Hold right click to use the item. As this happens, your screen will shake quite dramatically.
  4. When the gear is consumed, the shaking will stop, and your spawn point is reset.
