by SnakeFilm

Iron's Hexes is a Forge magic addon that adds hex-compatible spells built on the Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks library.

ForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 1.20.6

What it does

The mod needs Hex Casting and Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks to run, and it draws on the spellbook library to create new spells that work with hex patterns. Its build is alpha, and it is open source under the MIT License. Client and server both need it, and a 0.1 build exists for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, the six versions it is published for.

Key features

  1. Hex-compatible spells

    New spells are written to fit hex casting, using the Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks library as their base.

  2. Custom mana mechanics

    Alternate mana rules and a set of additional custom spells change how casting costs and dark-themed effects behave.

  3. Casting balance

    Spell power and casting battle balance are adjusted by the author, and the rules are still changing in this alpha build.
