Manaweave and Runes
by SFSeeger
Manaweave and Runes is a NeoForge magic mod for 1.21.1 that adds a mana network, multiblock rituals, custom spells and staffs built around runes.
What it does
Players build a mana network and manage how mana is generated and distributed. Several types of mana exist, and each one suits different machines, rituals and spells, so the choice of source shapes the early game. Some decorative building blocks are included for placing in the world.
Multiblock structures serve as the setting for rituals. Once assembled, a structure can perform larger rituals than a single block can. Custom spells are written in the Spell Designer, and the mod includes more spell varieties and more rituals than a base install. Staffs come in different types, each tied to its runes. Manaweave and Runes also includes crossover content with other magic systems, so mana and runes can interact with them.
The mod requires Geckolib and Patchouli, which must be installed alongside it. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1.
Key features
Mana network control
The mana network can be managed by hand, with sources and consumers connected and balanced across the base.

Rituals are performed at assembled multiblock structures and cover a larger set of effects than single-block setups.
