Merling's Grace
by SamsTheNerd
Merling's Grace is a small Fabric addon for Hex Casting and Origins that lets a player with the Merling origin cast a spell granting Dolphin's Grace.
What it does
Merling's Grace adds one spell to Hex Casting. Casting the spell gives the target the Dolphin's Grace effect, which boosts swimming as it does in vanilla Minecraft, and only a player with the Merling Origin can start the cast. The spell is tied to the origin system, so players without that origin cannot use it. The mod needs Fabric API, Hex Casting and Origins, and it is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it open source. Builds exist for 1.20.1 alone, and the latest Fabric file, 1.0.0, was published on 2024-06-29.
The Merling's Grace spell has a cost: each three seconds of the effect consume one amethyst dust. Because the effect runs on the entity itself, the spell works in single-player and on multiplayer servers. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.
