Arcanum of Wisdom

by benl4b

Arcanum of Wisdom turns the experience points a player earns into a separate wisdom point total that opens new abilities at set XP levels.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

Players earn wisdom points as their experience levels rise, with milestones at levels 5, 10, 20, 50, 80 and 100. Each milestone opens features and abilities that the mod describes as stronger than the vanilla ones, and the author notes that the progression is meant to ease a fresh start after a death.

Wisdom points are tied to the experience point system, so losing experience through actions such as dying or enchanting also costs wisdom points. The author lists planned additions, including more biomes and an Arcana Dimension, more superpowers and weapons, some structures and entities, and enchantments on artifacts and loot. An in-game symbol shows when a newer build is available.

The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1, 1.20.4 and 1.21.1, with the NeoForge file for 1.21.1 as the latest. Client and server both need it, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

What the author says

Of course you can lose experience points, for example by dying or enchanting, but you do not lose wisdom points. This makes it easier to get started after you die and you don't lose the desire to play. On the other hand, the wisdom points are linked to the experience point system from Minecraft, so you only make…
