Runes

by ZsoltMolnarrr

Players who want spells with ammunition can craft runes from cobblestone and a material tied to each element, and Runes supplies them for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.19 – 26.3

What it does

Each rune is built from cobblestone plus a material matched to its element: amethyst for arcane, coal for fire, snowball for frost, and honey or gold for healing. Recipes are shapeless, so the ingredients can go in any slot, and runes can be made by hand or at a regular crafting table.

The Rune Crafting Altar is the more efficient route. Every rune uses the same altar recipe, and the altar returns a larger batch from identical inputs. Lightning and soul runes are listed but not yet available.

Runes requires Bundle API and Fabric API, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 11 release versions, 1.19 – 26.3, and the code is licensed as All rights reserved. Twelve catalog mods, including Wizards (RPG Series) and Druids of Storm and Spirit, depend on it.

Key features

  1. Arcane runes

    Arcane runes are crafted from amethyst and cobblestone, and serve as ammunition for spells that use this element.

  2. Fire and frost runes

    Fire runes use coal, and frost runes use snowball, each combined with cobblestone to form the ammunition.

  3. Healing runes

    Healing runes can be made from honey or gold together with cobblestone.

  4. Rune Crafting Altar

    The altar crafts every rune from the same recipe and yields more runes per batch of ingredients than hand crafting.

Questions

Does Runes need Fabric API on Forge?

Fabric API is listed as a requirement for Runes, along with Bundle API. On Forge and NeoForge the mod still needs Bundle API, and the page lists Fabric API under the Fabric setup.

Do players and the server both need Runes?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

Which runes are available in the current release?

Arcane, fire, frost and healing runes are available. Lightning and soul runes are not available yet.
