lunacy: An Ode To Modding is a Forge magic mod by aubreyathame that reimagines content from older mods and brings it together in one interconnected progression.

ForgeClient and serverMIT License1.19.2 – 1.19.4

What it does

The mod draws on several older Forge mods and Lovecraft's work. Spider Ranching supports bee farming in the style of Forestry, shoggoths and shoggoth dens take cues from AbyssalCraft, and radiation ties into a group of nuclear mods. The author intends the parts to link into one path so that players progress through a single world.

The early release is a proof of concept with a minor magic system of four types: Mana, Essence, PSI and Intent. It also adds a handful of new items and weapons. The author describes the project as heavily unfinished, with mechanics expected to be fleshed out and extended over time, and most of it still subject to change.

The mod requires Curios API and GeckoLib. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files cover 1.19.2 and 1.19.4, with 0.5c for 1.19.4 as the latest file, and the code is released under the MIT License without being open source. The official wiki documents the current systems.
