What it does

RuneCraft centres on rune magic. Players place rune stones and apply runes to spread effects, write magical pages, and turn orbs into valuable resources such as soul orbs and spawn eggs. Souls can spawn functions of their own, and curses and other items are part of the same system.

The mod covers blocks that emit effects, wands, items with custom effects and spells, with about 30 blocks carrying special effects. Achievements and advancements track progress through the content. Required dependencies are GuideME, Magma Core and Patchouli, and optional support exists for Better Combat, Continuity, Epic Fight, JEED, JEI, MoreMcmeta Emissive Textures and Supplementaries.

Installation needs Client and server, so the server and every player run it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 26 release versions, 1.12 – 1.21.10. Latest builds are v.3.8.9 for 1.20.4 on Forge and v.6.2.0 for 1.21.10 on NeoForge. RuneCraft is released under All rights reserved, and it is not open source.

  3. Rituals on an altar

  4. Soul orbs and spawn eggs

    Orbs can be turned into soul orbs and spawn eggs, and souls spawn functions of their own.
