MagicChants
by hutuneko
MagicChants lets players cast magic by speaking incantations, a spell-casting mod for Forge and NeoForge that works on client and server.
What it does
Spells in MagicChants are activated through incantation, so a player casts by entering a chant rather than pressing a single key. Both the server and every player need the mod, since the chants are read on the server side too. Builds are published for Forge and NeoForge, with Forge 1.4 for 1.20.1 as the latest Forge file and 1.0-26.1 for 26.1.2 as the latest NeoForge build, which is in the beta channel.
Key features
Spell activation by chant
Magic is triggered by speaking an incantation, so casting is tied to a typed or spoken phrase.
Chant-based casting
Each spell is cast by entering its incantation, so the chant itself serves as the trigger for the effect.
Incantation-driven magic
The mod is built around incantations as its core mechanic, with magic following from the words a player speaks.
