Paladins & Priests (RPG Series)
Paladins & Priests adds two magic classes to Minecraft Java Edition: a paladin who fights with melee weapons and spells, and a priest who heals and protects allies with holy spells.
What it does
A player becomes a paladin by picking up a hammer, mace or other melee weapon, and becomes a priest by obtaining holy wands or staves, which come with the first spell. Each class has its own spell book, and taking the spells from it requires a Spell Binding Table, found in village gazebos or crafted with bookshelves around it. Runes act as ammunition for casting, much like arrows for bows.
The mod depends on Armor Model API, Fabric API, Runes, Spell Engine and Structure Pool API, so all five must be installed alongside it. Spell Engine supplies the casting system, Armor Model API handles armor models, and Structure Pool API places the village structures. Paladins & Priests is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across nine release versions, 1.19.2 – 26.3, and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Casting behavior and the on-screen spell display can be adjusted in the Spell Engine settings. Seven other mods are built on it, including LNE Paladins & Priests Add On, PaladinZ and RPG Series Class Selection.
