Hexal
by Talia-12
Hexal is an add-on for Hex Casting that adds a few simple patterns, two blocks, entities and iotas, and new spells such as Smelt and Freeze.
What it does
Patterns in Hexal let a caster collect more information about the world, such as the current time, and compare types. Two extra blocks, entities and iota types extend what a spell can read and hold. New spells bend the world further, for example by smelting or freezing the target, or by changing a falling block.
Hexal also adds wisps, entities that a caster can summon to handle casting distance and to run more complex calculations. The wisp type is entity-based, so each one acts on the caster's behalf. Hexal is open source under the MIT License and is published for 1.18.2 – 1.20.1.
Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Hex Casting and its required libraries must also be installed, along with Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin on Fabric or Kotlin for Forge on Forge. Mod Menu and Pehkui are optional.
Key features
Information patterns
New patterns read the current time and other world data, and compare types, so spells can branch on what they find.
Extra blocks and iotas
Two additional blocks, entities and iota types widen what a spell can store and act on.
Spells that change the world
Smelt, Freeze and Falling Block spells alter blocks and entities in the world.
Summonable wisps
Wisp entities are summoned to handle casting distance and to carry out more complex calculations for the caster.

Use cases
Long-range casting
A caster summons a wisp to take a spell beyond normal casting distance.
Multi-step calculations
Patterns that compare types and read the time let a spell choose between outcomes.
Who it’s for: Players who already use Hex Casting and want more patterns, and server owners who run a Hex Casting world and need the extra spells and entities.
How it compares
Hexical is an open source add-on under the MIT License for Fabric and Quilt, published for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1. Hexthingy is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, published for Fabric alone and only for 1.20.1. Hexal covers Fabric and Forge across 1.18.2 – 1.20.1, so it reaches Forge players that Hexical and Hexthingy do not.
