MagicClass
by Optim00se
MagicClass adds a magic system to the game: wizard items, staffs, a mana resource and spells that gain experience as they are cast.
What it does
Magic items are the core of the content. Players craft a set of wizard weapons and tools, including a Fire Ray Staff, a Hex Staff and a Poison Ivy item, and a Mana Berry supplies mana. Each item draws on a mana pool, and a successful cast adds skill experience, so a player's skill level raises the maximum mana they can hold. Staff Regeneration restores staff charges over time.
The pack also includes a MagicClass Info Book that explains the items and how the system works. The content is delivered as a data pack, so it applies to a world rather than changing the game engine. Installation follows the usual steps: unzip the file, place it in a world's save folder, and either create a new world or load an existing one, after which the data pack shows a message on loading.
MagicClass needs MagicClass Assets to run. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the Data pack form is available for servers. Files cover 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 1.1+mod for 1.21.1 as the latest build. Server owners install it, and players can join with or without it.
