Mediaworks
With Mediaworks installed, Hex Casting players gain extra utilities, including a pattern that reports how much media is available for a cast.
What it does
Mediaworks is an addon for Hex Casting. It adds new utilities to the spell system, and one pattern returns the amount of media available to a cast, so a caster can check the budget before committing to a spell. The mod also changes how media is withdrawn during casting. Wearing a scrying lens in the head slot of a Trinkets or Curios accessory set grants a larger casting grid.
Hex Casting, Architectury API, Cardinal Components API, Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin, Geckolib, Kotlin for Forge, PAUCAL and Patchouli are required, and each one must be installed alongside Mediaworks. Curios API, Supplementaries and Trinkets are optional. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Builds exist for Fabric and Forge, both targeting 1.19.2, and the mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.

Wearing a scrying lens in the head slot of a Trinkets or Curios accessory set gives the caster a bigger casting grid.
New Hex Casting utilities
