Numenology
Numenology is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that adds a techno-magical layer to survival, built around exploration and scientific experimentation.
What it does
Numen energy spreads through the whole game world without being visible, and the mod turns it into a subject of study. Players learn how it behaves by gradually opening mechanics through the Book Knowledge system, then running controlled experiments and building stations that perform rituals. Each action taken with this energy produces effects that ripple into the surrounding terrain, so players must weigh what they change.
The mod does not hand over everything at once. Progress is paced by discovery, which suits players who enjoy long survival runs and detailed scientific exploration of a hidden world. It needs Fabric API, Geckolib and Trinkets, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Numenology is published only for Fabric, for 1.20.1, under a Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, and it is not open source, although its source code is public.
