Factions And Curiosities
by Joh0210
Factions And Curiosities is a Forge and NeoForge addon for Mithion's Mana and Artifice, adding new factions, spells, rituals and armor upgrades.
What it does
The mod expands Mithion's Mana and Artifice with new factions that change the way a player progresses through the magic content. It brings 14 items, 9 spell shapes, 2 rituals, 2 further items and 4 Dragon Mage Armor upgrades. Spells are used with appropriate equipment, so a player moving into the new spells needs the matching gear first.
The main focus is extending the game after the late stages of Mana and Artifice, to keep it on par with other high level magic mods. It is meant for modpacks, and it can be added to an existing modpack without changing its other parts. Curios API, Mana and Artifice are required, so the mod cannot start without them. Dragon Magic And Relics is optional and adds compatibility with its relics and magic. The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.18.2 – 1.20.1, and the latest files are 1.3.1 for 1.20.1, dated 2026-04-03.
Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public. Snapshot builds are not part of the release history listed here, and contributions follow the project's Contribution Guide.
