Hex Spell Wheel

by drtheodor

Hex Spell Wheel lets a player on the client switch between spellbook pages through a radial menu, number keys and a hotbar display, and cast from an artifact or trinket hand.

What it does

Hex Spell Wheel is an addon for Hex Casting that works with the spellbook item it adds. Opening the wheel lists the spellbook pages, and selecting one changes the active page. Pages can be given icons by right-clicking a button on the wheel while holding an item. Hovering over a page's button previews the iota stored on that page. The hotbar displays the number of the active page along with the icon of the selected spell, so the current choice stays visible while casting.

The mod requires Architectury API and Hex Casting. It is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players can use it alone on a multiplayer server. Builds cover 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Radial spell menu

    An open wheel lists the spellbook pages, so a page can be picked without scrolling through the book.

  2. Number key navigation

    Keys 1 through 9 jump straight to a spell page, and the same navigation works while the wheel is open.

  3. Page icons

    Right-clicking the wheel button while holding an item assigns that item as the icon of a page.

  4. Spell casting from a hand

    Holding Ctrl and pressing a spell casts it from an artifact or trinket hand right after the page changes.

Who it’s for: Players who use Hex Casting spellbooks with many pages and want faster page selection while playing on the client.
