ForgeClient and serverMIT License1.20.1

What it does

The mod expands the cantrip system of Mana and Artifice, which is required, with spells that players obtain by exploring and uncovering lost scrolls. Among them are Spectral Bed, which lets a player rest through the night without resetting the spawn point, and Spectral Boat and Spectral Donkey, which provide fast travel over oceans and land through magical storage that the two share. Summon Lightning, Spectral Armor and Colossus Oak round out the set, and some of them scale with the magic tier.

Forgotten Cantrips is for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1, released under the MIT License and not open source. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Lucent is an optional dependency. The latest Forge file is 1.0.3-1.20.1, published on 2026-08-03.
