Slate Works
by Stickia
With Slate Works installed, Hex Casting gains a set of Spell Circle blocks for storing items, crafting and tuning how circles run.
What it does
Slate Works is a Fabric addon for Hex Casting that adds many new Spell Circle blocks. Storage Vessels let a Spell Circle store and interact with items, and Patterned Assemblers craft items through those vessels. Ambit Extenders alter the ambit of a Spell Circle that is still running, and Wave Regulators set the speed at which a circle draws on its media wave. Spell Imprinters change the meaning of a pattern inscribed onto a Slate macro, and Muffling Slate quiets noisy Spell Circles. Sentinel Caches hold a tiny sentinel mind, the kind forged into an amalgamation for Spell Circles.
Hex Casting and MoreIotas are required, and Fabric API is required as well. Slate Works runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Iotic Doors work with the basic small Akashic Library, which only handles basic iotas. The author notes that more features are planned and that a bit more will be added later.
The mod is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, with public links to its source code, issue tracker and wiki. Builds exist for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the latest Fabric file is 3.0.1 for 1.21.1, published on 2026-10-14 on the alpha channel.
Key features
Item-storing Spell Circles
Storage Vessels let a Spell Circle store items and interact with them, which opens a new way to use circles for storage.
Crafting through vessels
Patterned Assemblers craft items by drawing on Storage Vessels, so the same circles can handle production.
Adjustable circles
Ambit Extenders change the ambit of a circle while it is still running, and Wave Regulators control how fast the circle's media wave moves.
Pattern and noise control
Spell Imprinters alter the meaning of a pattern inscribed onto Slate macros, and Muffling Slate quiets Spell Circles that are too loud.
