Mana Wells

Mana Wells adds a mana well that slowly gathers mana over time. Mana is the mod's own magical energy, and it is treated as a resource to collect and use, not as the level-based XP that vanilla Minecraft uses. The wells are found only deep in the earth, close to bedrock, where they draw energy out of the surrounding nothingness. Players dig around bedrock level, where lava is a hazard, to find them, and the wells are rare.

A well fills up toward an optimal absorption limit, shown by a red spot at the centre of the well. Past that point it still generates mana, but at a reduced rate that slows as it fills. Once emptied, a well turns dormant for one Minecraft day and pulls reserves from the overworld. Keeping clear of a dormant well is advised, since lingering nearby can cost some of the stored energy. After the dormant period the well begins generating mana again.

Mana Wells is published for Forge only, for 1.18.2 – 26.1.2, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved. The mod was published on 2026-04-21 and last updated on 2026-04-27, and its latest file is 26.1.2-0.0.1 for 26.1.2.
