Descended Angel
Descended Angel brings angelic equipment into survival, where players gather Halos and Wings that grant buffs while worn.
What it does
The mod adds angelic items to the game. Halos and Wings are worn by the player and grant buffs, and the Halos come in nine tiers, running from the lowest rank up to the highest. A higher tier gives greater buffs and has a more costly recipe, so progression is tied to resources gathered in the world.
The path begins with crafting an Artificial Angel Feather, made from a Void drop obtained after defeating Touched mobs. Afterwards a structure containing an Altar is located, and the Altar allows crafting of the Angel Halo. The author recommends playing with JEI to look up the custom recipes.
The mod requires Caelus API, which must be installed next to Descended Angel on Forge. Files are published for Forge only, across six release versions 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, under the MIT License, and the project is open source. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The latest file is 2.5.0-1.20.1 for 1.20.6, released 2026-03-22.

How it compares
Magic Feather is open source under the MIT License, targets Forge for 1.16.2 – 1.20.1, and runs on client and server. The Executioners, Providence mod and Seven Sins and Seven Virtues each target Forge for 1.20.1 only, run on client and server, and are under All rights reserved, so their code is not open source. Descended Angel covers 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 instead.
