</Column>

## Upgrade Recipe

Upgrade an Ender Shard at a **Smithing Table**:
- **Base**: Ender Shard (can be linked or unlinked)
- **Addition**: Echo Shard

The linked position is preserved during the upgrade.

</Column>
</Row>

## Cross-Dimensional Travel

Unlike regular Ender Shards, Enhanced Ender Shards can teleport you between dimensions:
- Link it to a location in the Nether, then teleport there from the Overworld
- Create cross-dimensional teleporter networks
- Works with both player sneaking and redstone activation

## How to Use

1. **Option A**: Link an Ender Shard to your destination first, then upgrade it at a Smithing Table
2. **Option B**: Upgrade an unlinked Ender Shard, then link the Enhanced version to your destination

Both methods work - the linking data is preserved through the smithing upgrade.

## Features

- **Cross-Dimensional**: Can teleport between any dimensions
- **Enchantment Glint**: Has a special shimmer to distinguish it from regular shards
- **Compatible**: Works with all teleporter features (redstone, entity teleportation, etc.)
- **Preserved Data**: Keeps its linked position and custom name when upgraded

## Tips

- Echo Shards are found in Ancient Cities in the Deep Dark
- You can still use Enhanced Ender Shards for same-dimension teleportation
- Consider using these for your most important cross-dimensional routes
