Scalded [LEGACY]
by LionTamer117
Scalded, a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1, adds magic crafting, starcoating, spellbooks, runes and three new weapon types to the game.
What it does
The first step in its magic path is the Starcoating Core, a crafting block that players use to start working with Stargems. Stargems are gathered and then consumed in crafting recipes for magic items, and those items in turn go into spellbooks that carry spell power. Runes serve as magic ammunition, and a wizard profession station is tied to the Starcoating Core.
Beyond magic, Scalded adds a set of new weapons called advanced weapons, in three types: the Honed Sword, a spear and a battleaxe. Cheese can be obtained as a food item, and eating it gives a glowing corrupt zombie that is a stronger version of the regular zombie. The mod also works with Better Combat for combat compatibility.
Scalded runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files exist for 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.1.1 as the latest Forge file, released on 2025-05-09. The code is under the MIT License and is not open source, and the public issue tracker is linked from the project.
