emberborn
Emberborn is a Fabric magic mod in which players burn metals to gain temporary abilities, drawing on the Allomancy system from Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn saga.
What it does
Emberborn adds the Embercraft magic system. A player ingests metal vials and then burns the metal to produce an effect for as long as it lasts. The abilities covered include enhanced senses, greater physical strength and durability, pushing against nearby metal objects, pulling toward them, agitating hostile mobs and soothing them, as well as hiding a player's own powers and detecting other magic users nearby.
The mod is a fan-made work inspired by Mistborn and does not use official Cosmere names, lore or assets without permission. It is published for Fabric only, requires Fabric API, and runs on the client and the server together, so both sides need it. Builds cover 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, with 1.3.1 for 1.21.11 as the latest file, released under the MIT License as open source code. Source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are publicly linked.
