Allomancy
by leafreynolds
Allomancy brings the metal-burning magic of Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series to Minecraft, with players able to become Mistings and Mistborn.
What it does
Allomancy is built on the Cosmere, the universe Brandon Sanderson devised, and it follows the Mistborn series in its Scadrial setting. Players consume certain metals to gain powers, and burning a metal is the starting point for accessing an allomantic ability. The mod stays close to the lore where that is possible while still making sense for gameplay.
The mod needs Cosmere on both loaders and Curios API for the wearable metalminds, which players use to show off their metal setup. Allomancy is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, and the latest file is 0.7.113 for 1.20.1. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Allomancy also has optional links to other Cosmere mods. Hemalurgy adds extra features when installed alongside it, and Feruchemy is a point where allomancy and feruchemy powers meet. Jade, Just Enough Items, Patchouli and Sand Mastery are optional companions, and Surgebinding and Aviar are also listed as optional.
Key features
Metal consumption
Players consume specific metals, and each one grants a particular allomantic power when it is burned.
Mistings and Mistborn
Players can progress from a Misting, who has a single power, to a Mistborn with access to the full set of metals.
Metalminds
Metalminds are worn through Curios API slots, so players can carry their metal reserves as equipment.
Lore-friendly recipes
Recipes are set up so that the metals and items fit the Scadrial setting and remain available across the game.
In-game guidance
The mod includes in-game documentation that explains how allomantic powers and their metals work.

How it compares
Metalborn is also open source under the MIT License and runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1, so it matches Allomancy's loaders and version on that line. Metallics Arts is the older option, published only for Forge across 1.19 – 1.19.4 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it does not cover 1.20.1. Mistborn Feruchemy Curios is NeoForge-only for 26.1.2 and is not open source, licensed as All rights reserved.

What the author says
The Cosmere is a universe devised by Brandon Sanderson, encompassing many worlds, each with their own variation of magic. This mod aims to bring Allomancy (from the Mistborn series' planet named Scadrial) specifically to Minecraft, ideally in a way as lore-friendly as possible while still making sense for gameplay…
