Configu-cast
by Real-Luxof
Players who run Hex Casting on a server can use Configu-cast to decide which of its patterns exist and how they behave.
What it does
Hex Casting must be installed alongside Configu-cast, since the addon extends that mod's pattern system. Datapacks can tie certain patterns to advancements, so a player only gets access after reaching a set point in progression. Other patterns can be disallowed in casting environments that have no player behind them, which keeps automated setups from using them.
Configu-cast also includes a built-in mathematics parser and interpreter. It lets a datapack assign a new cost to a pattern that already exists, so the same pattern can cost more or less mana without changing the base mod. Being server-side only, the addon needs nothing on the client and players join without installing it. It is published for Fabric and 1.20.1 only, with version 1.1.1 as the latest file, released under the MIT License and open source.
Key features
Advancement-gated patterns
Certain Hex Casting patterns can be made executable only after a player earns a chosen advancement.
Player-less casting limits
Patterns can be blocked in casting environments that have no player, so automated casts cannot use them.
Pattern cost changes
A built-in parser and interpreter lets datapacks set a new cost for an existing pattern.
Datapack configuration
Datapacks control the mod's patterns, so servers can tune spell availability without editing code.

Use cases
Restricting automated casting
Patterns can be kept out of casting setups with no player, which limits what automated machines are able to cast.
Who it’s for: Server owners and datapack authors who run or build Hex Casting content and want finer control over its patterns and their costs.
How it compares
Hexcessible is a client-side only Fabric mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 under a custom license that is not open source, so it does not change server-side pattern behavior. Focalworks is an MIT licensed, open source Fabric mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 that is required on the server, with the client optional. Hextra Patterns is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, open source, and it runs on both client and server.
