mana parchment

by shadowx2012

Mana Parchment adds elemental scrolls to Minecraft, each one giving the player a short-lived magical effect drawn from fire, water, earth, wind, shadow, time, lightning or ice.

What it does

Each parchment type works as a single-use spell. One kind sends a blast of flame toward foes, another speeds up swimming and grants underwater breathing, and an earth parchment instantly raises a protective block around the player. Shadow parchments summon allied monsters that attack enemy creatures, lightning parchments call strikes around the player that hit nearby foes, and ice parchments turn the water beneath the player's feet to ice so they can walk on it.

The mod also changes how these scrolls are obtained. Modified phantoms collect mana, and a special villager trades at an amethyst block crafting station. Mysterious scrolls can be used to produce stronger versions of the spells. The content is meant to stay simple to learn while still adding magic to the game, and it works in both singleplayer and multiplayer.

Mana Parchment is published for NeoForge only, for Minecraft 1.21.8. The server and every player need the mod installed. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, and it has no required dependencies. Its single file is version 1.0.0, published on 2026-01-08 on the beta channel.

Key features

  1. Elemental parchments

    Eight parchment types cover fire, water, earth, wind, shadow, time, lightning and ice, each with its own effect.

  2. Mana from phantoms

    Modified phantoms collect mana, which feeds into obtaining the scrolls.

  3. Villager trades

    A special villager sells scrolls, and trading takes place at an amethyst block crafting station.

  4. Stronger mysterious scrolls

    Mysterious scrolls can be used to create more stronger versions of the parchments.
