Hive Queen

by AsterElend

Hive Queen is a Fabric addon for Hexcasting that adds a few spells, a datapack-driven crafting system for great scrolls, and a set of extra equipment.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1

What it does

The addon is built on Hexcasting and adds a small set of spells, such as Barrier Gambit, which disables overcasting until the end of a hex, and Sympathetic Extraction, which passes an item entity and its stack to a mote so a block breaks with the enchantments of the provided item. Plasma Beam fires a beam from one location to another, and the older Ephemera plasma beam spell is no longer limited to wisps. Clockwork Hive covers the crafting of great scrolls through a recipe system, and a Hex Notebook entry for the mod can be toggled in the config.

The mod depends on Hexcasting, and the Fabric API is required as well. Hive Queen runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with 1.0.2 as the latest file. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Key features

  1. Barrier Gambit spell

    Until a hex finishes, overcasting is switched off, which caps how far one cast can extend.

  2. Sympathetic Extraction spell

    Breaks a block using the enchantments on the item provided to the mote.

  3. Plasma Beam spell

    Fires a beam between two locations, and the spell is no longer tied to wisps.

  4. Datapack-driven crafting

    Great scrolls are crafted through recipes that can be changed with datapacks.
