Illusionist

by aurakle

Illusionist lets Trickster spellcasters work with shadow blocks, a concept the main Trickster mod dropped for Sodium reasons.

What it does

Illusionist is a Fabric magic add-on for Trickster. Its ploys can interact with shadow blocks, and one method lets a ploy disguise a block as another. Trickster is required, and the add-on is published for 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 3.2.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest file. The server and every player need the mod installed.

Key features

  1. Shadow block interaction

    Ploys can read and act on shadow blocks, which the main Trickster mod no longer provides.

  2. Block disguising

    A method lets a ploy present one block as a different block to other players and mods.

  3. Sodium compatibility note

    Shadow blocks were removed from Trickster over Sodium issues, and this add-on is known to break with Sodium.

Questions

Does Illusionist need Trickster?

Yes. Trickster is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside Illusionist on Fabric.

Is Illusionist compatible with Sodium?

No. Shadow blocks are the feature that breaks with Sodium, so the add-on should not be used alongside it.
