Essences

Essences are special consumable items, which can affect the game state or give special temporary bonuses to the player and their team. They are nontransferrable (Bound) and will disappear from a player's inventory 10 minutes after pickup. A random essence spawns every 10 minutes on one of the altars on the map, which is announced in chat including the location of the essence (but not the type). At 30 minutes and every 30 muntes after, Essence of Eternity is guaranteed to spawn.

Altars block spawn placement in a 10 block radius sphere around them.
