Rituals of the Wilds
by Jenki
Rituals of the Wilds, a Forge magic mod for 1.20.1, is set in a Slavic folklore world where rituals shape reality and spirits roam the land.
What it does
The mod adds magic systems drawn from Slavic mythology, along with ritual alchemy, a dialogue and quest system, and new mobs such as the Domovoi, Chernobog and Leshy. Players prepare rituals, summon spirits and explore a world the author describes as rooted in rich folklore and ancient traditions.
Decorative blocks let builders create rustic villages, mystical shrines and eerie cursed places. New items, mechanics and artifacts can be crafted into tools that change how the game is played. Rituals of the Wilds is published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it.
The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, though its source code is public on GitHub. Its most recent Forge build is version 1.0.4, released in May 2025. The author notes that the mod is no longer actively developed.
