Amaranthium (Magic: Illusory)
Amaranthium is a Forge magic mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 whose rings, potions and staffs are built around illusions and visual deception.
What it does
The mod is themed on illusion magic and is presented as the third of a set of Magic-themed add-ons, sometimes described as official magic DLC-like content. Its items are crafted from recipes that combine other rings, and the Golden Ring is part of that chain. The author recommends a recipe viewer such as JEI or REI to look up how each piece is made.
Equipment and consumables target combat. Players can apply the Glowing effect to an entity, strengthen Glowing potions, and use rings that make the wearer invisible or summon frightening phantasms. Staffs can fire repeated projectiles, launch a bomb that fills the screen with bright flashing lights, or cast a stronger illusion. The author marks the bomb-style staff as a last resort, and the mod is aimed at players who enjoy disrupting opponents mid-fight.
Amaranthium runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1. The mod is distributed under All rights reserved and is not open source, and the author has not released it under a permissive license. Public links are limited to an issue tracker.
Key features
Illusion rings
Rings such as Minor Illusion, Invisibility, Phantasms and Imprisonment each produce a different illusion-based effect.
Glowing potions
Strengthened Glowing potions can apply Glowing III to a target entity, making it easier to track in combat.
Illusion staffs
Staffs fire projectiles repeatedly, trigger jumpscare effects, and include a bomb that floods the screen with bright lights.
Chained crafting
Items are crafted from recipes that use earlier rings, so the Golden Ring sits at the end of the chain.
