The Ruler is an accessory purchased from the Goblin Tinkerer for 1 Gold Coin. It aides intricate construction, as less trial and error is involved in judging distances, symmetry, and achieving a desired block layout.

  • Desktop Version Console Version Displays a line or L-shaped overlay showing x and y distance from the player to the mouse.
  • Old-gen console version Operates identically to the Mechanical Ruler Desktop Version Console Version.

The Ruler's effect is purely visual and only affects the player who has it equipped.
