Allomancy
by legobmw99
Allomancy is a Forge and NeoForge magic mod that brings Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series into Minecraft, with metal-burning abilities bound to a single key.
What it does
Players burn base metals to gain abilities drawn from the Mistborn books. Each metal does one job, such as pushing or pulling on nearby metal objects, and the effect is triggered through one key binding using both mouse buttons. The mod was first written by ZenDarva and later rewritten almost completely by the current author, who received permission from ZenDarva to carry the original concept forward. Textures were overhauled with help from several contributors, including SuPaChikEn, V 4, Vicegod, Emsinatree, Khronos and Halyo.
Allomancy needs no other mod to run, although Jade and Just Enough Items (JEI) are listed as optional companions. Because the mod is a client and server mod, both the server and every player need it. Metal generation is part of the world, and some metals can be turned off in the configuration, which also holds many other settings. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source.
Key features
Base metal abilities
The base metals of the Mistborn series each grant a separate ability when burned by the player.
Single key binding
The abilities are operated through one key binding, with mouse buttons selecting how the metal is used.
World generation of metals
Metals spawn in the world, and the configuration lets server owners disable specific ones.
Configurable options
A configuration file controls metal generation and other gameplay settings, so behavior can be adjusted per server.
