Hyper's Hexcast Addon
by janIpen
Hyper's Hexcast Addon adds patterns to Hex Casting that let spells read and change which entity rides which, and list integers in a range.
What it does
Hex Casting is required, along with Architectury API, Cloth Config API, Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin and Kotlin for Forge, and Mod Menu is optional. The addon works alongside the little addon HexCasting Petrak, and its files target 1.20.1 only, for Fabric and Forge.
Spells gain patterns for mounts: one returns the entity a given entity is riding, another lists the entities riding a given entity, and a third reports whether an entity is controlling the one it rides. Other patterns make an entity begin riding another, or stop riding the entity it currently rides. A further pattern returns a list of integers within an interval, matching Python's range function.
Client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Released under the MIT License, and the code is open source.
Key features
Riding lookups
Patterns return the entity being ridden, the entities riding a given entity, and whether an entity controls its mount.
Mount and dismount spells
Spells can make an entity begin riding another, or stop it riding the entity it currently rides.
Integer range list
A pattern returns the integers in an interval from 0 to n, equivalent to Python's range.
Addon patterns
Extra patterns are added to Hex Casting's pattern set, working with the little addon HexCasting Petrak.

Who it’s for: Players of Hex Casting who want spells that act on mounts and riders, on Fabric or Forge for 1.20.1.
