Auras, Banners & Titles · Jade Slip (Addon) · Cultivation

Five more cosmetic surfaces beyond the palettes themselves.

The brighter realm aura

Your cultivation aura — the visible Qi your realm gives off — is the only cosmetic in the mod that other players read from a distance. Every one of Jade Slip's ten palettes, Champion Looks included, carries its own denser realm-aura set, emitting roughly twice as thickly as Cultivation's own, so your realm reads at proper range instead of only up close.

The denser aura is tied to wearing a Jade Slip palette, not to having the mod installed. A player wearing Cultivation's own default look always gets the stock aura; the brighter set only shows while one of Jade Slip's ten palettes is equipped.

Server owners can switch the whole set off with Brighter-Auras — every Jade Slip palette then falls back to Cultivation's own quieter aura while keeping the rest of its theming. See For Server Owners for when that toggle actually takes effect.

Meditation auras

A separate, smaller collection: Still Water, Vermilion Tide, and Leaf and Ember. Where the realm aura is what you look like standing and walking around, a meditation aura is what you look like while sitting — through all three tick stages Cultivation already has (Stirring, Gathering, Converging) — and at the moment a breakthrough or an advancement completes.

This is deliberately independent of your palette. A palette re-grades the menus you're looking at; a meditation aura is what you look like while doing something, so the two never constrain each other — wear Frost Peak's menus and meditate under Leaf and Ember, or the reverse. That's also why there are three of these rather than one per palette: they're their own small collection with their own names, not a recolor of each look.

Pick one from the Meditation Aura dropdown in Settings, next to the theme dropdown. Server owners can gate them individually behind Meditation-Auras-Require-Permission, which puts each behind its own jadeslip.meditationAura.<id> node (jadeslip.meditationAura.stillwater, and so on) — off by default, and gating choosing rather than keeping, exactly like the palettes and banners below.

Sect banners

Thirteen more sect hall banners, on top of the six Cultivation ships with already. Five answer to Jade Slip's first five palettes, so a sect running the Frost look can fly a banner that matches it, and two more answer to the earned Champion Looks:

Matching your palette — Frost Peak · Verdant Hall · Bloodmoon · Golden Court · Ink Wash

Sect standards — Stormcaller · Emberfall · Night Lotus · Steelsong · Duskshroud · Thornshade

Earned standards — Victor's Laurel · Starlit Destiny

The three palettes added after the original five — Starfall Peak, Jade Dawn and Lantern Court — were not given a matching banner; nothing requires one, since a hall's banner is chosen independently of any member's own palette.

Fly one from the Hall Banner picker on the sect menu, or /sect banner set <name>, the same way you'd choose one of Cultivation's own six. Server owners can gate Jade Slip's ordinary banners behind Banners-Require-Permission, putting each behind its own jadeslip.banner.<id> node. Off by default, and gating choosing rather than keeping — a sect already flying one keeps flying it regardless of the toggle.

Victor's Laurel and Starlit Destiny are visible on the same terms as their palettes, not through jadeslip.banner.<id>: a hall can only fly one while somebody in the sect has actually taken that crown, and Champion-Looks-Enabled takes both banners away together with both looks. If Palettes-Require-Permission is also on, these two follow jadeslip.palette.laurel / jadeslip.palette.destiny rather than a banner node of their own — deliberate, since a Champion Look and its banner are offered as one pair.

Cosmetic titles

Eleven titles, shown in the Titles half of Cultivation's Identity page alongside its own. Eight are tied to a palette and unlock while that palette is equipped, not merely owned — so settling on one says something, rather than every supporter carrying all eight labels at once. Two more are earned the same way their palettes are, and the last is simply for owning the add-on:

Title	Earned by
Slip-Bearer	Nothing beyond having Jade Slip installed — the plain thank-you for carrying the slip.
Snowbound	Wearing the Frost Peak palette.
Hall-Verdant	Wearing the Verdant Hall palette.
Moon-Drenched	Wearing the Bloodmoon palette.
Court-Gilded	Wearing the Golden Court palette.
Ink and Water	Wearing the Ink Wash palette.
Starbound	Wearing the Starfall Peak palette.
Dawnkissed	Wearing the Jade Dawn palette.
Court-Lantern	Wearing the Lantern Court palette.
Victor's Laurel	Being recorded as a season champion on any of the four Hall of Fame boards — kept once earned, even after the crown moves on.
Starlit Destiny	Holding the Child of Destiny title from the Sacred Bodies add-on.

Like every title in Cultivation, these are read live at the moment you try to equip them — switch away from a palette and its title stops being equippable, though a title you already had equipped stays worn until you change it, exactly as Cultivation's own titles behave. Victor's Laurel and Starlit Destiny read a persisted championship record rather than a live "are you the reigning champion" check, so they stay equippable long after the next champion is crowned. Server owners can turn the whole set off with Titles-Enabled, and the two earned ones specifically with Champion-Looks-Enabled.

Owning Jade Slip also earns you a twelfth title on the base mod's own side — Jade Slip Scribe, granted by Cultivation itself to anyone who owns the add-on, on any server running Cultivation, not just one with Jade Slip installed. It is a separate mechanism (Cultivation's store-benefit registry) from the eleven titles Jade Slip registers above, and just as purely cosmetic.

Codex lore

Seven articles in the in-game Codex, written as lore rather than as mechanics — deliberately: every article Cultivation ships answers a mechanical question with live numbers from your server, and these mostly don't. They're the fiction the mechanics sit inside, sorted to land after the base mod's own entries in each category rather than in among them.

Article	Category	About
On Jade Slips	Path	Where the tablets came from, and how a cultivator actually reads one.
The Banner Over the Hall	World	What a sect's light meant before anyone thought of it as a settings choice.
The Four Symbols	World	The four cardinal guardians, and why a sect flies one over the others.
The Colour of a Temperament	Self	Why a cultivator's surroundings come to look like them — with a line on each of the eight buyable palettes and what wearing it is said to say about you.
Writing on Jade	Path	What one actually copies, and what it never teaches — the one article here that answers a mechanical question, because a player handed a slip needs to know before they pay for one.
Laurel and Starlight	Self	Why Victor's Laurel and Starlit Destiny outlive the crown that earned them.
The Colors of a Hall	World	What a member sees when a leader hangs a look, how to opt out, and why the banner stays after the look comes down.

A server that wants its Codex to stay a pure mechanics manual can leave these out entirely by not installing Jade Slip; nothing else in Cultivation references them.
