Chaos Witch's Origin Grimoire__混沌魔女的起源魔导书
by Chaos-Witch
Chaos Witch's Origin Grimoire, a magic utility mod for Fabric and Forge, adds a mana system, magical items and crafting recipes to Minecraft 1.20.1.
What it does
The mod builds a mana system on top of vanilla play and adds magical items meant to ease the hunt for rare resources and advanced equipment. Its items are added through crafting recipes, so players reach them with the materials they already gather. Some items are strong tools by design, and the author notes that they rely on the mana system to be used at all.
The mod runs on Forge and Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1 only. Client and server both need it, so every player on a server that runs it must install it too. Files are published under the Apache License 2.0, which the author states, and the project is not open source. Fabric and Forge are the two supported loaders, and no other version range is covered.
Fabric also gets a few items that Forge does not carry: the Quantum Enchanted Book and Quantum Quiver, the Blood Magic Book, the Judgement Blade, the Grim Reaper's Scythe and an Echo Fragment-like item. Their durability and stack limits differ by loader, so a server runs the same loader for every player.
Key features
Mana system
A mana system sits alongside vanilla play and governs how the magical items are used.
Crafted magical items
Magical items are added through crafting recipes, so they can be made from materials found in normal play.
Lifesteal weapon on Fabric
The Blood Magic Book is an epic-level item that restores health from damage dealt, on Fabric only.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want a magic-focused layer on Minecraft 1.20.1, and server owners who run that version on Forge or Fabric and want the same item set for all players.
How it compares
Reworked Witch Origin is open source under the MIT License, targets 1.20.1 on Fabric and Forge, and is server required with client optional, so clients may leave it out. Witches of Origins - Origins Addon is also server required with client optional, under a CC0 1.0 Universal license, covering 1.19 – 1.19.4 rather than 1.20.1. JDi Origins is open source under the MIT License, supports 1.20 – 1.20.1 on both loaders, and runs on client and server like Chaos Witch's Origin Grimoire.
