Simple Riutals
by Neoloxal
Simple Riutals is a NeoForge magic mod that lets players build basic rituals from a central pedestal surrounded by smaller pedestals, with three tiers.
What it does
A ritual starts with a central pedestal, and the player crafts it first. Smaller pedestals placed around the centre set the tier: 2 pedestals for the small tier, 4 for the medium tier and 8 for the large tier. Each tier is a step up in what the ritual can do, so a player can begin with a small setup and expand it as needed.
The mod supports datapacks, so server owners and pack makers can add custom rituals without changing the code. Recipes can be looked up in-game through the recipe viewer. Simple Riutals is meant as a base that other ritual mods can build on, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, under the MIT License, and the source code is open source.
Key features
Three ritual tiers
Small, medium and large rituals use 2, 4 and 8 surrounding pedestals around the central one.
Datapack rituals
Custom rituals can be added through datapacks, so pack makers can define new recipes without code.
Recipe viewer support
Rituals can be looked up in-game, so players can check what each pedestal layout produces.
Pedestal crafting
The central pedestal is crafted first, and the surrounding pedestals are added to match the chosen tier.

Use cases
Base for other mods
Ritual mod authors can use Simple Riutals as a foundation and add their own rituals on top of the tier system.
Custom ritual packs
Pack makers can ship new rituals in a datapack, keeping the tier layout and the in-game recipe lookup.
Who it’s for: Players who want simple, tiered rituals without a large system, pack makers who want datapack-defined rituals, and developers building on a small ritual base.
