NeoForgeClient and serverCustom license1.21 – 1.21.1

What it does

The addon expands Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks with a new Eldritch spell school that holds 15 spells, along with new items, armor and mobs. It needs Ace's Spell Utils, AzureLib, Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks, Prometheus and Soul Fire'd to run. Builds exist for NeoForge 1.21 and 1.21.1, and the mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it.

Key features

  1. Eldritch spell school

    A new school of magic adds 15 spells that work alongside the existing Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks schools.

  2. New mobs

    Nine added creatures bring the Eldritch theme into the world, and one structure places them in generated terrain.

  3. Spells, items and armor

    Besides the spells, the addon includes new items and armor for players who follow the Eldritch path.
