Iron's Spellbooks Tweaks
by night23
Iron's Spellbooks Tweaks adds TOML config options that Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks does not expose, for server owners who want to adjust mana and spell behavior.
What it does
Installed on a server, the mod reads a global config and lets each world override it. Options cover mana cooldowns, mana regeneration multipliers, spell power, buff durations, dimension blocks, rarity gating, and sword toggles. A world can copy the global file into its own serverconfig folder through an op-only command and then edit it, and any missing key falls back to the global value.
The mod also includes a datapack-driven system for gating spells, dimensions and bonuses. Pack developers can require advancements or boss kills before a reward applies, and each gate can carry a hint string shown by a command. Multiple gates granting the same bonus stack, and negative values are accepted. Multipliers stack multiplicatively with health and damage scaling from other mods.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it. It requires Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks 3.0.0+ on Forge for 1.20.1, and 1.21.1-3.15.0+ on NeoForge for 1.21.1. Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks is an optional soft dependency, so the mod loads cleanly without it. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Extra TOML config options
Settings such as mana regeneration, starting mana and cooldowns are exposed in the config, including options Iron's does not provide.
Per-world overrides
Each world can keep its own server config, copied from the global file and edited separately, without overwriting an existing file.
Datapack gating system
Spells, dimensions and bonuses can be gated behind advancements, entity kill triggers and boss kills through JSON files.
Requirement hint text
An optional requirement string in each JSON file is shown by a command, so players can see what they still need.
