Magic Team
by SatDPhoe
Magic Team, a Forge utility for Minecraft 1.20.1, blocks allied players from harming each other with spells on a server that runs it.
What it does
Plenty of spell systems can aim at a living entity outright, attach status effects to it, or inflict magical damage while bypassing the usual melee rules. Without extra protection, players can hit allies by accident or on purpose.
The mod is configured on the server. Its settings live in a Forge server config file, where server owners define which spells count as safe or blocked. Spells are named by full registry ID, such as irons_spellbooks:root, or by shorter paths. Lists can also be edited in-game with commands, which require operator permission level 2 and offer registry-aware autocomplete for Iron's Spells n Spellbooks.
Magic Team requires Babel Core and is published for Forge only, across the 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 range. Installation needs the server side only; players who join without the mod are not affected. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Target damage blocking
Harmful spells are stopped before they can lock onto an allied target, so allied spell damage is strictly prevented.
Effect filtering
Poison clouds and other harmful spell effects are halted before reaching allies, whereas beneficial effects continue to arrive as intended.
Configurable spell lists
Beneficial and harmful spell lists can be edited through the server config or in-game commands.
Server-side enforcement
Rules run on the server alone, and changes to the team rules take effect instantly without a client update.
