The Crackpot Mystic's Shed

The Crackpot Mystic's Shed lies in the Forest Village and is the home of the Crackpot Mystic. When you first visit him, he tries to tell you his story before offering to craft pixels.

Unlockable Crafts

After beating all four bosses from the zones in the Crackpot Mystic's Psychoses some new items become craftable:

Product	black	blue	green	red	white	brown	Type	Effect

Once a player ascends these items get removed from the list of craftable items until the four bosses are beaten again.

Notes

• With the continuum transfunctioner equipped, you can access the 8-Bit Realm.
• If you utilize lag to try and make something with insufficient pixels, you get the following message:

The Crackpot Mystic takes your Pixels and creates some items.

(less than one, something's wrong here)

• In a Zombie Slayer run, the Mystic has been affected, but can still craft with pixels:

You enter the shed to find the Crackpot Mystic, now a zombie, sitting in the corner and staring blankly at the wall. As he notices your arrival, he turns and stares blankly at you instead. Deep lines appear on his forehead as the remains of a thought slowly crawl through his head, and then his face brightens. "Urrrgh," he says, pulling a round object from his pocket and rolling it across the floor at you. "Graaaaaaagh."

You acquire an item: continuum transfunctioner

• In a Zombie Slayer run on subsequent visits:

Graaagh. Aaaaargh. Graggh argh auuugh.

• Using a psychoanalytic jar on the Crackpot Mystic gives a jar of psychoses (The Crackpot Mystic)

History

• Until November 9, 2006, The Crackpot Mystic's Shed was located in the upper-left corner of the Wrong Side of the Tracks, using the following image.

  

• The pixel whip and the brown pixel were added June 15, 2010, as part of the antique 8-Bit Power magazine content.
• On October 28, 2010, the Mystic gained several neighbors as a result of the skeleton invasion.
• On January 8, 2013, backend changes were made to The Crackpot Mystic's Shed. The crafting interface was changed to use new pixel images in a more grid-like configuration, with pixel names removed.
• On December 9, 2014, changes were made to The Crackpot Mystic's Shed. The crafting interface was changed to show the things you don't have enough pixels for him to make.
• On June 1st, 2015 yellow pixels were introduced.
• On June 16th, 2015, more items from yellow pixels were introduced.
• On January 20, 2023, the digital key (previously crafted with 30 white pixels) was moved to the Treasure House, and the pixel bread and pixel whiskey were both added as craftable items.

References

• The blue, green, and red pixel potions are references to the blue, green, and red potions from The Legend of Zelda game, except that the blue pixel potion and green pixel potion's restorative abilities are switched.
• The pixel colors refer to the color of the lights in a computer/television screen; the white pixel recipe is a reference to the composition of white on a computer/television screen, which is a combination of red, green, and blue.
• Early 8-bit machines typically were capable of displaying just eight colors, based on the three color signals of the chip:

R G B
0 0 0   Black
0 0 1   Blue
0 1 0   Green
0 1 1   Cyan
1 0 0   Red
1 0 1   Magenta (Fuchsia)
1 1 0   Yellow
1 1 1   White

• Surprisingly, Jick hasn't used Cyan (yet) in the 8-bit realm, and used Purple rather than Fuchsia, probably for added alliterative appeal.
