Hexssence

by IllinaBurlace

Hexssence, a Hexcasting addon, adds essence jars, an Analyze scroll and extraction spells for transmuting dropped items into new resources.

FabricForgeClient and serverThe UnlicenseOpen source1.20.1

What it does

Players start by finding an Analyze scroll, since the other additions stay out of reach until it is in hand. The Analyze spell reads a target and returns a recipe iota, and a decay iota list shows each item type and count along with what the recipe costs. A recipe iota lists the positions of the requisite essence jars next to the output position, so the layout can be checked before anything is crafted.

Essence jars are crafted and filled with essences, which the Use Extraction spell pulls from dropped items. Essences can then be combined in jars against a target item. The mod ships its own recipes, and the recipe set can be extended by adding entries. Hexssence needs Architectury API, Cloth Config API, Fabric Language Kotlin, Hex Casting, Kotlin for Forge and MoreIotas alongside Fabric API on Fabric or Kotlin for Forge on Forge. Mod Menu is optional. The mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and the Unlicense applies, so the project is open source.

Key features

  1. Essence jars

    Jars are crafted and hold essences, which are stored until they are combined against a target item.

  2. Extraction spell

    The Use Extraction spell pulls essences out of dropped items so they can be stored in jars.

  3. Analyze scroll and spell

    The Analyze scroll gives access to the Analyze spell, which returns a recipe iota for a target.

  4. Recipe and decay iotas

    A decay iota list shows item types, counts and recipe costs, and a recipe iota lists the jar positions and output position.

What the author says

IMPORTANT: THIS MOD DOES NOT ADD ANY RECIPES ON ITS OWN! YOU NEED TO ADD THOSE YOURSELF! Check the GitHub page for information. Hexssence is a Hexcasting addon based around resource generation and transmutation. You can't do anything worthwhile until you find an "Analyze" great scroll.
