ArcaneAdditions
by nivthefox
ArcaneAdditions is a Forge and NeoForge magic mod that adds spell components, rituals, items and a few utility blocks to the Mana and Artifice system.
What it does
ArcaneAdditions extends the Mana and Artifice spell system with new components, rituals and items, and it is built as a companion to that system rather than a stand-alone spell mod. Its features include Astral Projection, Ice Block, Life Link, Tree Stride, Soulsearcher's Lens and Scribe's Bench, each adding a distinct spell effect or crafting station. Curios API, Geckolib, Mana and Artifice are required, and Just Enough Items (JEI) is optional for recipe lookup.
The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with public links to its source code and issue tracker. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.18.2 and 1.20.1, with forge-1.10.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file, dated 2025-09-14. The first release was published on 2023-10-08.
Key features
Astral Projection
A spell component that lets the caster project an effect away from their own position, extending what Mana and Artifice can do.
Ice Block
A spell effect that encases targets or areas in ice, adding a control option to the spell system.
Life Link
A spell component that ties the caster's health to another target, supporting healing and sharing effects.
Tree Stride and Soulsearcher's Lens
Tree Stride moves the player through wood, and Soulsearcher's Lens is an item that reveals nearby soul-related information.
Scribe's Bench
