Nature's Aura
by Ellpeck
Nature's Aura is a Forge and NeoForge magic mod in which players gather Aura from the environment and spend it on devices and mechanics.
What it does
The mod centers on Aura, a resource found in the environment. Players gather it, spend it in rituals and machines, and feed it back into the land. Too much Aura triggers positive effects on the surroundings, while too little brings negative ones such as natural decay, so the world's balance shifts with player activity.
The Book of Natural Aura is the guide: it reveals entries through advancements and shows the other recipes once the book is crafted. Patchouli is required, since the book is built on it. Curios API Continuation is optional and adds equipment slots for compatible accessories. The mod runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source for 1.16.3 – 1.21.1, with Forge files for 1.20.1 and NeoForge files for 1.21.1.
