Ritual Magic
by Zickit
Ritual Magic gives players magician classes that cast spells from the held item, and it adds rituals built from item frames, diamonds and redstone on the ground.
What it does
The mod adds magicians, each tied to an element. A lightning magician shoots lightning bolts, and an ice magician shoots snowflakes that freeze any entity they hit. An air magician jumps high in the direction it faces. Shock friends is listed among the magician abilities.
A ritual is set up on the ground: four item frames are placed in a pattern, and each frame is filled with a listed item such as a diamond axe, redstone, a fire charge or an ender pearl. Walking the ritual activates it, and the end crystal drop completes the process. Different magicians use different ingredients, such as a lightning rod or a wind charge in place of the fire charge.
Ritual Magic is released under the MIT License and is not open source. It runs on the server, and clients may add it as well. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the data pack variant is listed as well. Player Motion must be installed alongside it, and the mod covers 1.21 – 26.2 in 11 release versions.
Key features
Elemental magicians
Lightning, ice and air magicians each cast a different effect, including bolts, freezes and high jumps.
Item frame rituals
A ritual is laid out with four item frames, each holding an ingredient, and then walked to activate.
Ingredient variants
Each magician takes its own set of ingredients, so the same layout produces different results.
End crystal finish
Dropping an end crystal at the end of a ritual completes the summoning step.
