# Spectral<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
### Spectral is a mod that currently adds 4 items, three of which are pictured below:
\n<\/p>\n
The first, **Spectral Dust**, is crafted from phantom membranes and can either be eaten to turn temporarily spectral, or put onto a mob to turn it spectral.<\/p>\n
The second, **Spectral Goggles**, put who wears them to enter a spectral state, allowing them to see and interact with spectral blocks and entities. These goggles can be crafted with Spectral Blocks, Spectral Dust, String, and Iron ingots.<\/p>\n
The third, **Spectral Block** can be placed down as a normal block, but can only be seen, collided with, and broken by spectral players and mobs. (This function is per-player, so you might be able to see spectral blocks while your friends cannot!) This block can be crafted from Spectral Dust and glass!<\/p>\n
The fourth and newest, **Block of Cold Iron** is the same as a spectral block but can only be interacted with by non-spectral entities!<\/p>\n
## Mechanics<\/p>\n
The basic mechanics of Spectral function as such:
\nThere are two states living entities can be in, either normal (non-spectral) or spectral. This depends on their spectral_vision attribute (0 for normal, 1 for spectral). A non-spectral entity cannot see, hit, or push spectral entities, and it cannot break, collide, or see spectral blocks. Spectral entities cannot see, hit, or push non-spectral entities, but can fully interact with other spectral entities and spectral blocks.<\/p>\n
## Known Issues:
\n-Spectral blocks do not properly change render states when sodium or other optimization mods that affect chunk rebuilds are installed
\n-Shadows appear ontop of Spectral blocks even when the player is not spectral
