Easy Arcane: An Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks Addon
by SkingieDee
Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks gains a NeoForge addon, Arcane Essence Addon, that adds a crafting route to arcane essence through enchanted ink.
What it does
Arcane essence normally comes from arcane ore, which is mostly found below deepslate and only rarely higher up. This addon adds a crafting recipe built from common ink, so players can make enchanted ink without farming mobs. Glow squid ink is bottled, brewed with nether wart and imbued with soul power to create enchanted ink, which can be rebottled at a crafting table to return to common ink.
This addon needs Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks on NeoForge. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The mod is published for 1.21.1 only, with version 1.0.0 released on 2026-08-24 under the MIT License, and it is not open source.
