Hex Research
by Dashkal
With Hex Research, players reach Hex Casting progression through alternative routes, using a Cognitive Inducer block and a villager-based spell.
What it does
Hex Research is an addon for Hex Casting. It provides other ways to advance through Hex Casting's progression, and its general aim is to reach a given goal by a less tedious route, one that is faster than the standard path. Players can use it to skip steps that would otherwise be slow to complete.
The addon adds a Cognitive Inducer block that imbues a mind, and a new Imbue Mind spell that creates artificial mind induction in nearby villagers. Its recipes follow the Flay Mind pattern, and the spell finds the correct stroke order for a Great Spell by filtering possibilities through a villager's mind. The addon also notes that some players are willing to abuse friendly NPCs, and villagers can suffer adverse effects from these spells.
Hex Research requires Hex Casting, Architectury API, Fabric Language Kotlin and Kotlin for Forge, and it works with Hex Gloop as an optional companion. It runs on Fabric and Forge in the client and server environment, and both sides need it. Files cover 1.19.2 only. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.
