Galecraft
by Galecraft
Galecraft is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that adds magic, new armors and weapons, dimensions, biomes and structures to the game.
What it does
Galecraft adds magic to Minecraft through an affinity system. Players obtain affinities by draining runes, then craft spells at a crafting table using a soul crystal. Mana is regenerated by right-clicking with a soul crystal, and sleeping restores it to its maximum. Spells can only be cast once the matching affinity is held.
The mod also adds a range of armors, weapons and materials, along with new blocks for building. A new overworld biome, several new dimensions with craftable portals, and roughly 10 to 20 structures, including a new ancient temple, are added to the world. Several recipes are complex, so the mod's own recipe book and a recipe viewer such as JEI help with finding them. Galecraft is published as a single Forge file for 1.20.1 and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is not open source and is distributed under All rights reserved.
