N3rdyR0b1n's Magic Mayhem
by N3rdyR0b1n
N3rdyR0b1n's Magic Mayhem gives players a spellcasting system on Fabric, where spells are learned from scrolls and cast with mana rather than with items.
What it does
Spells are obtained by crafting spell scrolls and placing them in a spellbook at a spell table. Casting draws on a mana pool instead of consuming materials, and mana is tied to armor sets that support specific playstyles. Consumable items such as food, drinkable potions and throwable potions can also be used to cast, with cost varying by saturation, effect duration and amplification, and carrots costing far less than golden apples. The mod requires GeckoLib to run properly.
The design favors resource management and creative problem solving over equipment bonuses, so the magic does not reduce to wearing armor for a flat damage increase. Players can move, hold position or throw while a spell is active, though they cannot cast another spell until the current one ends. Armor damage still occurs while spells are cast, and a magic shield can negate incoming damage while the player is suspended midair. The mod is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is open source, with public source code.
Key features
Spellbook and spell table
Spells are crafted as scrolls and placed into a spellbook, which is used at a spell table to learn them.
Mana-based casting
Spells draw on a mana reserve instead of material costs, with mana linked to armor sets.
Consumable casting
Food and potions can be consumed to cast spells, with cost scaled by saturation, effect duration and amplification.
Fireball and area spells
A fireball spell is included, and its explosions fall off with distance so only a sweet spot near the blast deals full damage.
Mobile casting
Players can move, hold place or throw while a spell is active, and a shield spell suspends the caster midair.

What the author says
This mod adds a way for you to cast a wide plethra of spells, outfits and (hopefully) fun! The main difference between this mod and most magic mods i've played with is it's pvp. I wanted to avoid having the mod boil down to wearing armor and equipment of "+5% damage to this specific spell-type" and instead lean more…
