by yggdyy

IronCasting lets players cast Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks spells using Hex Casting patterns, drawing on media instead of mana.

What it does

Patterns from Hex Casting can be used to trigger spells from Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks, and some patterns read the associated spell scrolls. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 0.0.3 as the latest file, released under the MIT License as open source. Both Hex Casting and Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks are required.

Key features

  1. Spell casting through patterns

    Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks spells can be cast as Hex Casting forms, so each spell is triggered by drawing its pattern.

  2. Scroll pattern reading

    Patterns associated with Iron's Spells scrolls can be read out of those scrolls for use in Hex Casting.

  3. Media-based casting

    Patterns that Hex Casting forms are cast using media instead of mana.

  4. Finer control

    Some casts support more precise control over how a spell is aimed or shaped.
